Chapter 95 Jiaxing, Snowball

On the morning of the sixteenth of the first lunar month, Qiao Yu was playing with Snowball in the open space outside the door. A little girl dressed in snow-white silver fox fur and made of pink and jade ran up the mountain road. It seems that he is about eight or nine years old, followed by more than a dozen bodyguards wearing knives. Seeing the snowball, he ran over happily and held it in his arms and asked the puppy.

Seeing this scene, Qiaoyu expected that the little girl was the eldest princess Jiaxing, so she saluted respectfully.

"Who are you? Why have I never seen you?"

"The eldest princess, the name of the people's daughter is Mu Yaner, and she is newly here to take care of Snowball."

"Mu Yaner, get up!"

Qiaoyu stood up and watched Jiaxing and Snowball play.

"You are so beautiful!" Jiaxing smiled and praised, "It seems that you have taken good care of Snowball. It is much fatter and taller than the last time I saw it.

"When the snowball is still growing, that's why the princess thinks so."

"You are very honest. When the spring comes, I will come back often to have a look.

"I know."

"You are very special!" Jiaxing looked at Qiaoyu's distracted. Qiao Yu was a little nervous and didn't dare to speak.

"Few the maids of honor will say 'I know.' You are the second person to talk to me like this. The first one is my Aunt Xianning.

"Ning'er?" Qiao Yu blurted out. Knowing that she had lost her words, she was worried that she would annoy the eldest princess. She hurriedly knelt down and said, "The people's daughter lost her words for a moment, and asked the eldest princess to atone for her sins."

Jiaxing held the snowball and looked at Qiaoyu unexpectedly, "Get up quickly!" I'm not angry, I'm just curious. You are really special!" The eldest princess suddenly approached Qiaoyu and asked in a low voice, "Can I call your aunt when there is no one?" Aunt Xianning got married far away, and no one talked to me like this anymore.

Qiaoyu looked at the child's innocent eyes, nodded with a smile, and whispered, "Okay. But only when there is no one else.

"Good! It's a deal!"

"It's a deal!"

Since then, the eldest princess will go up the mountain to see Qiaoyu and Snowball every ten days and half months. When there was no one, they called each other Aunt Yan and Xing'er.

Gradually, Qiaoyu also knew the origin of the name of the snowball.

Jiaxing wanted to keep a puppy for a long time, but she didn't get it because her mother didn't like it. A few months ago, Jiaxing picked up a snowball on the street. It was abandoned by its mother shortly after birth and lay on the roadside dying. Jiaxing felt sorry for it, secretly put it in his carriage, took it back to the prince's house, and begged his father to take it in. The prince was the most kind, so he sent someone to send the snowball here to raise it behind his back. Because Jiaxing has always wanted a white dog and has figured out the name of it Snowball, although the puppy is black, she still insists on calling it Snowball. The prince felt that it didn't matter anyway, so he agreed.

Slowly, Qiaoyu and Xing'er became familiar with each other. As soon as Xing'er came, Qiaoyu took her and Snowball to the top of the mountain to see the scenery.

On the evening of the sixth day of the seventh lunar month, Xing'er unexpectedly came happily. As soon as he entered the door of the courtyard, he shouted, "Auntie, auntie! I'm coming!"

Qiaoyu was reading in the room. Hearing Xing'er's call, she quickly walked out to have a look. Xing'er had run to the room and was standing at the door gasping. Qiaoyu asked in surprise, "Xing'er, why are you still coming up the mountain so late? Are you still sweating profusely?" Qiaoyu rubbed Xing'er's sweat with a handkerchief.

Xing'er said excitedly, "Aunt Yan'er, I'm here to tell you that tomorrow is the Qiqiao Festival."

"I know!" Qiaoyu replied with a smile, thinking in her heart that tomorrow is also my birthday.

Xing'er continued anxiously, "Auntie, I went to the third uncle's house today and saw a lot of fireworks piled up in the yard. I didn't know until I asked someone. The third uncle will set off fireworks outside the city tomorrow night.

"Ah? Why?" Qiao Yu asked in surprise.

"The third uncle's concubine has been lost, and tomorrow is her birthday. The third uncle said that no matter where she is, I hope she can see the fireworks set off for her. Xing'er's lovely answer.

Qiaoyu was sobbing when she heard this. She turned her back and didn't want to be seen by Xing'er.

"A few months ago, on Laba Festival, a favorite concubine of the third uncle left a letter and left. The third uncle rode like crazy to find her for three days. But I didn't get there in the end. Since then, the third uncle has stayed in his other courtyard all day long, not going out, not going to court, and not seeing anyone. I'm just drunk every day. Later, Grandpa came to the courtyard and didn't know what he said to the third uncle. The third uncle just returned to the palace and cheered up again. When Xing'er said this, she found Qiaoyu's strangeness and asked worriedly, "Auntie, what's wrong with you?"

Qiaoyu turned her back to Xing'er and tried to restrain herself to answer, "Xing'er, I'm a little tired. You go back first." It's dark for a while, and the mountain road is not easy to walk. After saying that, he took a few steps quickly, hid in the bedroom and closed the door.

Xing'er paced out of the door and slowly went down the mountain surrounded by guards.

Qiaoyu didn't come out that night, and she didn't eat. A man hid in the room and cried a lot. I thought I had no feeling, but I began to feel pain again. It turned out that he had suffered so much for himself.
