Holding the jade pendant in her hand, Jiujiu immediately raised her head and said to the crown prince, "Thank you, Brother Crown Prince."
The crown prince's lips curved slightly.
At noon, the crown prince accompanied Jiujiu to play in the garden. In the afternoon, after dinner, the crown prince finally left after Jiujiu reluctantly said that he would see her in seven days.
After the crown prince left, Jiujiu looked at the pastry chef standing in front of her, waiting for her orders. Her eyes curved in satisfaction.
The crown prince was simply too considerate. Last time, when he saw that she liked to eat pastries, he specially found a pastry chef for her.
See, there was no man in the world who didn't know how to be considerate. As long as he cared about you, your likes were his cares.
Therefore, there was no man in the world who didn't care about you. There were only men who didn't love you.
The crown prince sent an imperial chef to make pastries. Madam Yan was both surprised and gratified.
She was surprised that the crown prince sent an imperial chef. She was gratified that the crown prince really cared about Jiujiu.
Because he had taken her preferences to heart, he had completely taken her preferences to heart. Otherwise, why would the Crown Prince send an imperial chef who was good at making pastries to her?
There was no other explanation other than that Jiujiu liked it.
Although the crown prince promised to come in seven days, he came before seven days. He also sent a set of small toys that children liked. There was even a small wooden horse with exquisite workmanship.
Although Jiujiu felt that the wooden horse was too childish, under the crown prince's expectant gaze, Jiujiu sat on it and shook it while revealing a happy smile.
Seeing Jiujiu smile so happily, the crown prince also became happy.
The two played around for the entire afternoon and agreed on a time to meet next time. After the crown prince left, Jiujiu began to prepare a gift for their next meeting.
These two times, it was the crown prince who sent her gifts. There was an ancient saying that it was impolite not to reciprocate. Since the crown prince sent her so many gifts, it would be unreasonable if she didn't give something back.
Jiujiu was still young and the things she knew how to make were limited. After thinking for a long time, Jiujiu decided to embroider a small pouch for the crown prince.
Because the interval between the Crown Prince's two visits was not long, there was plenty of time before the next visit. Jiujiu prepared to embroider a pouch for the Crown Prince during this time.
Jiujiu was not going to embroider a complicated one. After all, with her body's age, if it was too complicated, it would inevitably feel like someone else was doing it. Jiujiu was going to embroider a simple one that she could finish by herself.
Because the Crown Prince was young, it was inevitable that he would have the misconception that he was as light as a feather. Therefore, the Crown Prince liked to wear black to make himself look more mature.
Jiujiu thought about it and decided to embroider a dark red pouch.
Dark red was not too eye-catching, and it matched well with black. Jiujiu thought about it and decided to use silver-gray thread to embroider the dark pattern.
If the color was too obvious, it would stand out too much.
Although Jiujiu had already learned how to embroider, the designs she embroidered were very simple. Naturally, Jiujiu did not want to stand out too much and chose a very simple dark pattern. Basically, she only knew the basics and did not know how to do it very slowly.
Jiujiu knew how to embroider in the past, but she did not know if it was because of her young age or because she had not done it for a long time, she was very clumsy. After much difficulty, she finally finished it the day before the Crown Prince came.
Because of her young age and small hands, although Jiujiu had made pouches before, her small hands were still pricked by many small needles. On the dark red surface, there were also many dark colored bloodstains.
Jiujiu asked Chun Er to take the pouch to wash it clean and dry it. After drying it, she filled it with the spices that she often used before placing it at the head of her bed and closing her eyes in peace.
Because it was her idea to prepare a gift for the Crown Prince, Jiujiu did not even mention it to Madam Yan. Therefore, she continued to study during the day and practice in the afternoon. She only started to embroider the pouch in the afternoon.
These few days, in order to catch up with the progress, she was simply exhausted to death.
Now that the pouch was finally done, Jiujiu let out a long sigh of relief. This time, she slept exceptionally well. When she woke up, she saw the Crown Prince sitting by her bed and reading a book.
Jiujiu rubbed her eyes and looked carefully, only then did she realize that it was really the Crown Prince.
Jiujiu was extremely surprised.
"Crown Prince gege, you are here." After regaining her senses, Jiujiu immediately threw herself into the Crown Prince's arms and acted coquettishly.
The Crown Prince hugged Jiujiu and rubbed Jiujiu's messy short hair. He smiled and said: "You are awake?"
Jiujiu replied with an 'en' and quickly asked Chun Er to help her put on her clothes.
The Crown Prince got up and left.
With Chun Er's help, she put on her clothes and washed up. Jiujiu held the pouch in the palm of her hand and walked towards the Crown Prince.
Jiujiu's matters in the general's residence had long been reported to the Crown Prince. Therefore, the Crown Prince also knew that Jiujiu had been busy with this pouch for the past few days.
The Crown Prince originally thought that this pouch was embroidered by Jiujiu for Yan Kui. Therefore, when Jiujiu shyly handed the pouch to him, the Crown Prince was stunned: "For me?"
Jiujiu stuffed the pouch into the Crown Prince's hands. Her long and perky eyelashes blinked and her pink lips moved. She shyly said in a childish voice: "Master said, give me papayas and give me Qiong Yao in return. Crown Prince gege gave Qing Er Qiong Yao. Qing Er does not have papayas. Can you give me the pouch?"
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she playfully blinked her eyes. Her long eyelashes swayed like a small feather scratching the Crown Prince's heart, tickling the Crown Prince's heart.
The Crown Prince picked up the pouch.
The dark red color matched the black color that he liked very well. Because Jiujiu was still young, she couldn't do anything too complicated. Therefore, she embroidered a very simple dark pattern on it, which matched the dark red color very well.
The Crown Prince solemnly fastened the pouch to his belt.
Jiujiu immediately praised without any modesty: "So beautiful."
The Crown Prince chuckled and scratched the tip of Jiujiu's little nose. He smiled and said: "You're praising yourself."
Jiujiu pouted: "I'm not lying. Crown Prince gege is really beautiful."
"Who says that a man is beautiful." The Crown Prince habitually bent down to pick up Jiujiu and walked out.
The considerate Lian Cheng had already ordered people to prepare breakfast. When Jiujiu and the Crown Prince came out, they could see it.
The Crown Prince scooped a bowl of porridge for Jiujiu. He remembered that Jiujiu especially liked soup dumplings that day, so he put a small bun in Jiujiu's small bowl in front of her.
Seeing that there was food, Jiujiu's eyes immediately lit up. She picked up the chopsticks and began to eat the food very seriously.
Jiujiu ate happily. The Crown Prince also felt that his hunger had been quenched. He followed Jiujiu and ate some.
After eating, the Crown Prince took Jiujiu out for an outing.
It was already October. The temperature was cold and the leaves had already dried and turned yellow. It looked bleak.
The Crown Prince took Jiujiu to the riverside to admire chrysanthemums and eat crabs.
The crabs in autumn were especially plump and delicious. Drinking chrysanthemum wine was a great blessing in life.
