The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 412 What a clear understanding

 The family of four from Princess Mansion gathered together for dinner.

 After dinner, we made a pot of tea, and everyone gathered around to chat about the imperial list.

Du Consort Du looked at Du Wan from time to time, "Wanwan, does this matter have anything to do with you?"

"A little bit." Du Wan smiled and gestured with her little finger, "When I was chatting with my uncle, I mentioned that there is such a thing as a consort, and he quickly understood it."

 “What a great understanding…”

The other three people understood and looked at each other and smiled.

 Since Qin Yuyu returned for some time, the emperor has not brought anyone with him to teach her, and obviously has no intention of letting her participate in government affairs. Nowadays, the imperial list is issued to select a son-in-law, which is just like recruiting a son-in-law among the people. In the future, the children born to Qin Yuyu will take the mother's surname.

By doing this, the emperor will not have to worry about having no successors.

 So, after being reminded by Du Wan, neither the emperor nor the queen objected.

 The only person who objected was Qin Yuyu!

 Qin Yuyu was about to cry.

 The uncertainty of choosing a prince-in-law in this way is too high.

 What if the winner is not the one she likes? Does she also want to get married? !

 On the other hand, Du Yunrong laughed three times when he heard the imperial announcement and ate an extra bowl of rice that night.

There are some things that Qin Yuyu may not have thought of, but Du Yunrong grew up in the palace and often attended various high-end banquets. How could he not know the thoughts of some powerful children?

 According to the emperor's request, selecting a prince consort this time is similar to a draft.

The real good and noble children have been carefully cultivated since childhood, and they are proud of themselves when they are young.

Du Wan ignored the commotion outside and sneaked to the Duke's Mansion to meet Pei Hao.

Pei Hao smiled and thanked her for the supplements she sent, "As long as I think that the princess is thinking about me because she has some good things, I feel very happy."

“Yeah, I hope you’re happy.” Du Wan’s eyebrows curved upon hearing this.

　This is like being teased and amused.

Pei Hao took out a red rope bracelet with two acacia-shaped jade stones strung on it and put it on the little girl's left wrist. "I made this myself, do you like it?"

“I like it, it’s pretty good-looking.” Du Wan praised it against her will.

 Compared to those made by professional masters, the craftsmanship is far inferior. In modern times, handmade jewelry is all kinds of exquisite and beautiful. Du Wan could even praise it against his will, because he made it with his own hands, so he was extra considerate.

 She was almost moved to death.

Pei Hao didn't know that the little girl had a very good taste, especially when it came to accessories, so he thought she really thought they looked good. But when he was putting a bracelet on the little girl, his eyes fell on her jade-white wrist, which made him unable to take his eyes away. It was clearly half of her long-sleeved wrist, but he actually felt it was very beautiful...

Du Wan let him put the bracelet on, "Take it tight and don't let it fall off."

"Okay, wear it tighter." Pei Hao was finally brought back by her words.

 The bracelet was knitted by him and can be adjusted in size.

Pei Hao played a little trick and tied the knot when adjusting the size.

In other words, the bracelet he made cannot be taken off once it is put on. “When it gets old, I will replace it with a new one.”

Du Wan curiously asked: "Why did you suddenly become obsessed with making this up?"

 “I just want to make one for you.” I heard that this way can trap the beloved girl for a lifetime. When Pei Hao heard this folk saying, he didn't really believe it but couldn't help but do it. Of course, he was embarrassed to say it openly, "How about Wanwan make one for me? If you don't know how, I can teach you."

"This is quite simple. I can knit it. Give me some thin red ropes first." Du Wan can really knit this bracelet, and she can even knit it better than his.

Pei Hao asked someone to get the red rope.

Du Wan's slender, jade-like hands quickly knitted a men's bracelet, which was slightly thicker than the one she was wearing. At the end, she knitted a small heart-shaped pattern, making the bracelet particularly exquisite.

Pei Hao knitted the bracelet in her hand all night. The little girl finished it in only a quarter of an hour, "Dang Dang Dang! How do you like it? Does it look good?"

"It looks good." Pei Hao praised it sincerely and stretched out his wrist towards her.

Du Wan knew what he meant immediately and quickly put it on for him.

Just when she wanted to retract her hand, he held her little hand.

 The two couldn't help but look at each other, and then smiled sweetly.

Du Wan feels that it’s pretty good now. Maybe this is the taste of love in the legend.

 There is no need to do anything, it is very comfortable to be alone with each other.



When Du Wan saw that it was almost time to leave, Pei Hao asked her to go to the countryside to swim in the lake tomorrow. He didn't let her sneak back to the princess mansion until she nodded in agreement.

 Compared with Pei Hao going over the wall to see Du Wan and risking being discovered, it was obviously much easier for Du Wan to go over the wall to see him.

Pei Hao had dinner with Mu Si'an that day.

Mu Si'an always felt that something was not right with him, and he did this and that. The most conspicuous thing was the red bracelet on his wrist. It was made of thin rope and was very cheap. "A gift from the princess?"

 “Well, yes.” Pei Hao replied pretending not to care.

“Or did the princess make it up herself?”

 “Hmm? How did you tell...”

 “Oh, who makes me have a pair of discerning eyes?” Mu Si’an directly boasted about himself.

He would not tell Pei Hao. From the moment he stepped in, Pei Hao spread his tail like a peacock, constantly showing off the bracelet in his hand. And his triumphant attitude, no matter how deeply he hides it, so what?

 …

 It’s midsummer in the blink of an eye.

 In the dog days of summer, it is so hot that people break out in sweat even while sitting.

The eldest princess has a big belly and spends most of her time in Qinchun Pavilion to escape the summer heat.

Du Wan was worried about her, and asked people to put two ice cubes in the room, which made the temperature in the room drop a lot, making it much cooler to stay inside.

The eldest princess said: "Wanwan, this is very wasteful."

"It's okay. Use it first, there's still some in the ice cellar." Du Wan was more worried about the health of the eldest princess than feeling sorry for the ice. The weather is so hot that even if someone fanned the room, the air would be hot.

 Pregnant people have great mood swings, and it is inevitable that they will be irritable when they are hot.

Therefore, as early as half a month ago, Du Wan and Du Qian stopped using ice and wanted to save it for the eldest princess.

The eldest princess shook a feather fan and looked outside and said, "This day is unusually hot."

 “A little bit.”

 “I’m afraid there will be a drought.”

"Mom, don't worry. My uncle said before that we should take precautions."

“I hope the people’s harvest will not be affected this year.”

 “Hmm.” Du Wan knew it was impossible not to be affected.

 At present, the impact of the capital city has not been seen. It is just that it is more expensive to live comfortably.

There is only one way to store ice in the Qin Dynasty, which is that wealthy families will build ice caves, which means that in winter, ice cubes are sealed in the ice caves, and the partitions are made to prepare for use in the hot summer.
