"What's your name?" Du Shichu asked him.
"Sister Du, my cousin's name is Wu Xiaoran." The fifth princess answered quickly for her cousin.
Wu Xiaoran pursed his lips and said nothing, letting the fifth princess speak for him. Du Shichu looked at him. Although he was young, he was good-looking and had picturesque features. Even if he did not grow long, he already had We can foresee the glory in the future.
Du Shichu would always be more patient with good-looking children, so she asked again: "Wu Xiaoran, what animal do you like? I'll make one up for you."
The fifth princess did not answer for him this time. After all, she did not know what kind of animals Wu Xiaoran liked, so she also asked: "Yes, cousin Ran, what do you like? Sister Du can make it up. The little animals she makes up are like Got it!"
Wu Xiaoran finally raised his head and met Du Shichu's gaze. Only then did Du Shichu realize that he had a pair of very beautiful phoenix eyes, which were black and clear, giving people a very focused feeling when looking at people.
"Shall I make a puppy for you?" Du Shichu asked him tentatively.
Wu Xiaoran shook his head, holding the hem of his clothes with one hand and twisting it again and again. Du Shichu waited patiently for him to speak.
Finally, after a while, he said in a low voice with a somewhat difficult voice: "...Eagle...I, want an eagle..."
"Okay, I'll make you an eagle." Du Shichu smiled and agreed happily. The eagle is a wild and unruly raptor that fights in the sky. He didn't expect that he, who was thin, would like this kind of animal.
Du Shichu knitted small animals skillfully and quickly. Although the eagle was an animal that was not often knitted, it would not take long as long as he mastered the knitting know-how. Therefore, it only took about a quarter of an hour for Du Shichu to knit it quickly. She handed it to Wu Xiaoran and said, "Here you go."
Wu Xiaoran took it, glanced at Du Shichu quickly, and whispered: "...Thank you..."
"You're welcome, one for each. You are just like the fifth princess and the sixth prince." Du Shichu said with a smile.
"What are you guys playing at?" A loud and powerful male voice suddenly sounded, and Du Shichu keenly saw that Wu Xiaoran shrank in fear when he heard the voice, and his face immediately turned paler.
Du Shichu then remembered that he was probably thinking of his biological father who abused him with his stepmother. The emperor and his biological father were brothers, they looked alike, and their voices also had the quality of adult men. No wonder he had conditioned reflexes. He was generally afraid of similar sounds. Du Shichu reached out and patted his back with some sympathy, and whispered: "Don't be afraid, your Majesty is here."
The emperor walked over happily and saw a group of little carrot heads each holding a straw animal in his hand. He smiled and said: "Where did you get these gadgets?"
"Sister Du made it up for us..."
"Sister Du gave it..."
Everyone answered in gibberish, and happily jumped up to the emperor, scrambling to show off their little toys to him.
The emperor took the cricket from Wuqi's hand and looked at it carefully, and then said to Du Shichu in surprise: "Chu'er, I didn't expect you to have such a skill. Your knitting skills are better than those of other professional masters, right?"
"Your Majesty, thank you. Of course I am not as good as a professional master." Du Shichu replied, "I just made it up casually for them to play with."
"Who did you learn from?" the emperor asked curiously. After all, as the only daughter of King Qi, did Du Shichu want any precious toys? She basically could not see these little toys that ordinary children liked.
"My father taught me this. He learned it from his soldiers..." Du Shichu said. King Qi actually did not teach the original owner to learn these straw toys, but he learned them and made them himself. Just gave it to the original owner to play with.
But even if Du Shichu lied, the emperor would not know, after all, King Qi is no longer around.
When the emperor heard her mention King Qi, the smile on his face visibly disappeared, replaced by sadness and regret, and said: "Your father is very smart and learns everything quickly. I didn't expect that he would teach you to make up these things... …”
Seeing that he was immersed in the emotion of missing his father again, Du Shichu quickly changed the subject and said: "Your Majesty, do you have a favorite animal? I will make one up for you too."
When the emperor heard this, he put aside the sadness and said with a smile: "Okay, I like tigers, can you make up tigers?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, just wait." Du Shichu said confidently.
The emperor laughed: "Then I will wait!"
At this time, the emperor saw Wu Xiaoran holding an eagle straw toy in his hand, and immediately lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of scaring him, and said to him softly: "Ran'er, do you like eagles? Eagles Really good! He is brave and ferocious, very powerful, and the emperor also likes it. I remember that there are two eagles, a male and a female, in the Royal Beast Garden. When they give birth to eaglets, the emperor will give them to you, okay?"
Wu Xiaoran immediately raised his head, his eyes lit up. Although he still didn't speak, the emperor obviously understood what he meant, so he stretched out his hand and patted his head gently, laughing and saying: "It's settled! Wait a minute. Once you have the little eagle, I will give it to you to raise!"
Wu Xiaoran's pursed mouth relaxed, his eyes brightened, and there was no fear on his pale face. He allowed the emperor's broad, warm palm to touch his head without refusing.
Du Shichu was preoccupied with two things. While he was quickly weaving tigers, he was also looking at the relationship between the emperor and Wu Xiaoran. It seemed that Wu Xiaoran still had a good impression of the emperor and did not object to his approach.
"Your Majesty, the tiger is ready." Du Shichu handed the little tiger in his hand to the emperor.
The emperor took it over and looked at it again and again, and was very happy: "Chu'er, what do you want? I'll give it to you!" He waved his hand and said very generously.
Du Shichu shook his head: "Your Majesty, I have everything. It seems that there is nothing I want..."
"No, you must be tired after knitting so many things for everyone today. I can't let you work hard for so long in vain." The emperor retorted, "It seems that Jiangnan sent some new fabrics yesterday. I'll give you some." .”
"No, Your Majesty, if you insist on giving it, just give me a cat from the Royal Beast Park. I heard that Siam recently paid tribute to several precious and beautiful long-haired cats. I want one..." Du At first I thought it would be better to keep a pet.
The emperor immediately agreed: "Okay! You can get whichever one you like. You can go to the Royal Beast Garden to choose in person."
"Then I'm welcome." Du Shichu was very happy.
So while talking, the emperor simply took a group of little guys to the Royal Beast Garden.
The Royal Zoo is a royal zoo. There are all kinds of rare and exotic animals, including white deer, yellow tigers, black wolves and even golden snakes. Several little guys screamed in fear when they saw the snake. He hid behind the emperor and Du Shichu.
