Chapter 175 What Secret Did Xiao Nan Yi and Xiao Nan Yao Discover?
Xiao Nan Yi and Xiao Nan Yao. Xiao Nan Yi is a brave, determined, and curious boy, while Xiao Nan Yao is lively, cute, clever, and has a kind heart.
On this bright and sunny day, the flowers in the palace gardens were in full bloom, displaying a riot of colors and filling the air with fragrance. Xiao Nan Yi and Xiao Nan Yao, like two cheerful little birds, frolicked and played in the garden.
Xiao Nanyi suddenly stopped, staring at the artificial hill in the distance with a curious expression on his face: "Yaoyao, look at that artificial hill over there. I heard the guard brother say that there might be treasures left by our ancestors hidden inside. Let's go take a look!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Nanyao's eyes lit up instantly, and she jumped up excitedly: "Great! Maybe there really is treasure! Let's go!"
The two ran hand in hand toward the artificial hill. The hill was rugged with strangely shaped rocks, and the entrance to the cave was hidden by vines, giving it a mysterious air. Without hesitation, Xiao Nanyi walked ahead, pushed aside the vines, and was the first to slip into the cave. Although Xiao Nanyao was a little scared, seeing her brother's bravery, she mustered her courage and followed him in.
The cave was dimly lit. Xiao Nanyi groped his way forward when suddenly his foot kicked something hard. He crouched down and looked closely; it was an old, worn-out box. Xiao Nanyi exclaimed excitedly, "Yaoyao, look! I found a box! Maybe there's treasure inside!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Nanyao eagerly rushed forward, standing beside Xiao Nanyi in front of the mysterious box. Holding their breath, they carefully and gently lifted the lid, as if afraid to disturb the treasure sleeping within. When the lid was fully open, their eyes widened in astonishment—inside lay a book that looked quite ancient!
The book's pages were yellowed, the marks of time clearly visible. But even more striking were the strange patterns and obscure symbols depicted on the pages. These patterns and symbols intertwined, forming a mysterious and enigmatic picture.
Xiao Nanyi frowned, his gaze fixed intently on the contents of the book, muttering to himself, "What is this? It's so strange; I've never seen anything like it before." Xiao Nanyao, standing beside him, tilted her head, deep in thought. A moment later, as if struck by a brilliant idea, she excitedly exclaimed, "Brother, why don't we take it back to Father and Mother? They're knowledgeable and will surely recognize what it is!" Xiao Nanyi agreed, nodding in approval, and carefully cradled the box in his arms.
Just as the two finished tidying up and were about to leave, a strange and inexplicable sound suddenly came from the cave entrance. The sound was like the wailing of an owl or the howling of a demon, sending chills down one's spine. Xiao Nanyi's heart tightened, and he immediately grabbed Xiao Nanyao's small hand warily, whispering in a low voice, "Yaoyao, don't rush out. There seems to be something unusual outside." Xiao Nanyao trembled upon hearing this, gripping Xiao Nanyi's arm tightly and refusing to let go. At this moment, her originally bright and lovely eyes widened, filled with fear, and she stammered, "Brother...brother, could it really be a monster?" Although Xiao Nanyi himself felt somewhat apprehensive, he knew that as an older brother, he had to protect his younger sister. Therefore, he took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and comforted Xiao Nanyao, saying, "Don't be afraid, Yaoyao, as long as your brother is here, I will never let any demons or monsters hurt you! Let's not move around for now, let's observe the situation carefully first."
The two hid at the cave entrance, cautiously peering out. It was an injured fawn, blood streaming from its leg, crying out in pain. Seeing the fawn's wounded state, Xiao Nanyao felt a pang of pity, broke free from Xiao Nanyi's grasp, and ran out, saying, "The fawn is so pitiful, let's save it!"
Xiao Nanyi quickly followed. He looked at the deer, and although he was a little scared, he still said, "Yaoyao, let's take the deer back and let the imperial physician treat its injuries."
Xiao Nanyao nodded, and the two of them helped the fawn up and slowly walked towards the palace. Along the way, Xiao Nanyi and Xiao Nanyao took turns caring for the fawn, comforting and encouraging it.
Upon returning to the palace, they immediately sought out the imperial physician to treat the fawn. The physician, upon examining the fawn's injuries, frowned and said, "This fawn is badly injured, but fortunately you discovered it in time. I will do my best to heal it."
Xiao Nan Yi and Xiao Nan Yao stayed by the little deer's side until the imperial physician finished treating its wounds. Only when they saw the little deer lying there peacefully did they breathe a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Gu Liuli and Xiao Jingchuan arrived after hearing the news. Gu Liuli looked at the two children, then at the injured fawn, and was filled with relief: "Yi'er, Yaoyao, you did a great job. You know how to care for animals. You are such kind-hearted children."
Xiao Jingchuan smiled and patted their heads: "That ancient book, I'll find a learned person to take a look at it, maybe it really is a treasure."
Xiao Nan Yi and Xiao Nan Yao smiled happily upon hearing this. Xiao Nan Yao took Gu Liu Li's hand and said, "Mother, once the fawn is healed, we'll release it back into the forest so it can find its parents."
Gu Liuli nodded: "Okay, I'll do whatever Yao Yao says."
A few days later, under the careful treatment of the imperial physician, the little deer's injuries gradually healed. Xiao Nanyi and Xiao Nanyao played with the little deer and the young tiger, and as they watched the little deer happily run into the distance, their faces were filled with happy smiles.
The imperial palace of Xijing Kingdom shone brilliantly under the sunlight. In the imperial garden, flowers bloomed in profusion, butterflies danced among the blossoms, and a faint fragrance filled the air.
Jiang Liushen sat with Jia Xiaoyan in the pavilion in the garden for a meal, the table laden with all sorts of delicacies. Jiang Youan was held in Jia Xiaoyan's arms, the little guy staring at everything around him with his big, bright eyes.
Jiang Youan's little hand quickly reached out to grab the food on the table, seemingly attracted by its delicious aroma. Jia Xiaoyan smiled at her son's actions and said gently, "Youan, you're still too young to eat these things."
Jiang Liushen smiled and leaned closer, kissing Jiang Youan's little face, saying, "Our Youan has grown up and is starting to show interest in food."
Jiang Youan seemed to understand his parents' words, responding with soft "humming" sounds while waving his little hands in the air. Jia Xiaoyan gently held Jiang Youan's little hand and said, "My good baby, when you grow up a little more, Mommy will make you lots of delicious food."
At this moment, a palace maid came over with a bowl of carefully cooked rice porridge and said, "Your Highness, this is freshly cooked rice porridge. Please let the little prince have a taste."
Jia Xiaoyan nodded, took the bowl, scooped up a little rice paste with a small spoon, gently blew on it, and brought it to Jiang Youan's lips. Jiang Youan opened his little mouth and obediently ate, enjoying it immensely, occasionally making "mmm" sounds.
Jiang Liushen looked at his wife and children, his heart filled with happiness, and said, "Xiaoyan, look how much Youan is eating. He'll definitely be a little glutton in the future."
Jia Xiaoyan rolled her eyes at Jiang Liushen and said with a smile, "You're so good at talking nonsense. You'an is so cute, he'll definitely grow up to be a sensible and good child."
Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, scattering a few petals that landed on the table and on Jiang Youan. Jia Xiaoyan gently brushed the petals off Jiang Youan, her eyes filled with tenderness.
After Jiang Youan finished eating, Jia Xiaoyan placed him on her lap and played games with him. Jiang Youan laughed happily, his clear and melodious laughter echoing in the garden.
Suddenly, Jiang Youan's gaze was drawn to a small bird in the distance. He stretched out his little hand, pointed at the bird, and made "ah ah" sounds. Jia Xiaoyan looked in the direction he was pointing and said with a smile, "Youan, that's a bird, flying in the sky."
Jiang Liushen also looked at the little bird and said, "You'an, when you grow up, Daddy will take you hunting so you can see more small animals."
Jia Xiaoyan glared at Jiang Liushen and said, "You'an is still young, don't teach him these fighting and killing things. Our You'an should be a kind person and love animals in the future."
Jiang Liushen nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, I'll listen to my wife. Our You'an will definitely be a kind and loving child."
Jiang Youan seemed to sense his parents' love and happily wiggled his body on Jia Xiaoyan's lap.
At this moment, a eunuch hurried over and whispered a few words in Jiang Liushen's ear. Jiang Liushen frowned slightly, a serious expression appearing on his face.
Seeing Jiang Liushen's expression, Jia Xiaoyan asked, "Liushen, what's wrong?"
Jiang Liushen hesitated for a moment, then said, "Xiaoyan, there's something I need to take care of in the palace."
Jia Xiaoyan nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead, be careful."
Jiang Liushen stood up, kissed Jia Xiaoyan and Jiang Youan on the forehead respectively, and said, "I'll be back as soon as possible. Wait for me here."
After saying this, Jiang Liushen hurriedly left with the eunuch.
Watching Jiang Liushen's departing figure, Jia Xiaoyan felt a pang of worry, but she forced herself to remain calm, not wanting Jiang Youan to sense her emotions. She held Jiang Youan in her arms and continued their walk in the garden, telling him interesting stories.
Jiang Youan listened intently, his eyes fixed on Jia Xiaoyan, as if he understood her words. Seeing her son's focused expression, Jia Xiaoyan's worries gradually dissipated, and a smile appeared on her face.
Before they knew it, the sun was gradually setting in the west, and the sky was dyed orange-red. Jia Xiaoyan carried Jiang Youan back to the palace, sat on the edge of the bed, and gently rocked him to sleep.
Jiang Youan's eyelids grew heavy, and he soon drifted off to sleep. Jia Xiaoyan looked at her son's adorable sleeping face, her heart filled with love, and gently tucked him in.
Just then, Jiang Liushen returned. He tiptoed into the room and saw Jia Xiaoyan and the sleeping Jiang Youan, a gentle smile appearing on his face.
Jia Xiaoyan looked up, saw Jiang Liushen, and asked softly, "Has everything been taken care of?"
Jiang Liushen nodded, walked to the bedside and sat down, took Jia Xiaoyan's hand and said, "It's all taken care of. I'm sorry to have worried you."
Jia Xiaoyan leaned on Jiang Liushen's shoulder and said, "It's good that you're alright. Youan and I are waiting for you."
Jiang Liushen hugged Jia Xiaoyan and said, "Xiaoyan, having you all by my side is the greatest happiness of my life."
The two sat quietly for a while, enjoying this warm moment. Outside the window, moonlight spilled onto the ground, onto the loving couple and their sleeping child; everything was so peaceful and beautiful.
As the days went by, Jiang Youan grew up slowly. He began to learn to roll over and sit up, and every little progress made Jiang Liushen and Jia Xiaoyan very happy.
That day, Jiang Youan was playing on the ground when suddenly he tried to stand up. Jia Xiaoyan and Jiang Liushen watched him nervously, afraid that he would fall.
Jiang Youan braced himself against the ground, struggling to stand up. His face was flushed red, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Finally, after several attempts, Jiang Youan successfully stood up. Although he only stood for a few seconds, it still excited Jia Xiaoyan and Jiang Liushen.
Jia Xiaoyan ran over, hugged Jiang Youan, and said happily, "Youan, you're amazing! Mommy is so proud of you!"
Jiang Liushen walked over with a smile, kissed Jiang Youan on the face repeatedly, and said, "Our Youan has grown up. He will definitely be a brave man in the future!"
Seeing his parents' happy faces, Jiang Youan also laughed, filling the entire room with laughter.
