Chapter 284 Hug

Niuniu didn’t understand why the eldest lady of the Xianguo Palace, who was from a high family and was supposed to be pampered, could be so envious of her.

Qin Jingshu forced a smile, shook her head, and said, "I may have hugged her when I was a child. Now that I'm older, it's inconvenient..."

Niu Niu frowned and whispered, "But we are still children now."

When Qin Jingshu heard this, she almost cried again.

What Niuniu cares about most is the love of her family. She looked at Qin Jingshu and felt a little distressed. After hesitating for a moment, she came to the other person's side, stretched out two chubby arms, and hugged Qin Jingshu.

"Okay, okay, let me hug you!" Niuniu said.

Qin Jingshu wanted to say that she didn't want a hug, but she didn't move. She didn't want to give up such a warm embrace at all, and she didn't want to withdraw from it for a long time.

"What are you two hiding here for?" Shen Ling's voice suddenly rang out. Seeing the two little girls staying in the rockery, she couldn't help it and came over to take a look.

Qin Jingshu hurriedly separated from Niu Niu.

"I...I..." Qin Jingshu didn't know how to explain.

Niu Niu turned around and didn't explain. Instead, she asked Shen Ling: "Sister Ling, do you want me to hug you? Everyone likes my hugs so much!"

Shen Ling didn't care about Qin Jingshu's strange behavior. He came over with a smile and picked up Niu Niu.

"Ouch! Darling, you are so heavy!" Shen Ling joked with a smile.

Niu Niu said calmly: "Because I have eaten well recently, I am heavy!"

After Shen Ling put down Niuniu, he picked up Qin Jingshu who was beside him.

Qin Jingshu didn't expect Shen Ling to hug her. She thought Shen Ling had a good relationship with Niu Niu, so she hugged Niu Niu.

"Jingshu and you are both six years old, and she is much lighter than you." Shen Ling said with a smile.

Niu Niu was not angry when she heard this, but smiled and winked at Qin Jingshu.

Qin Jingshu didn't like her thin appearance, but thinness was regarded as beauty in this dynasty. Whenever she wanted to take a few more bites, a waiter would always jump out to stop her.

She knew that these people were her mother's people, and her mother was afraid that she would gain weight and not conform to the royal aesthetic.

Shen Ling added, "Have you had enough fun here? There are pastries you like to eat outside. Do you want to fill your stomach first?"

Niu Niu looked at Qin Jingshu, her face became tense again when she heard that he was going out.

"Sister Ling, we like to play in the rockery, but I'm a little hungry. I'll go out with you to get some food and I'll be back soon!" Niu Niu said.

Shen Ling glanced around the rockery in confusion: "What's there to do here?"

Qin Jingshu immediately became nervous after hearing this question, for fear that Niu Niu would spill the beans.

But Niuniu said: "This is the secret between me and Sister Qin!"

Shen Ling reached out and tapped Niu Niu's nose: "My dear, don't be the first with me. You actually have a little secret you're hiding from me!"

Niu Niu came forward and took Shen Ling's hand: "Sister Ling and I also have other secrets! I have a lot of secrets. Sister, take me to see what delicious food there is!"

Shen Ling didn't bother to find out more. He took Niu Niu's soft little hand and returned to the poetry meeting. Then he took a plate and took Niu Niu around to pick up pastries as if he were eating at a buffet.

A group of noble ladies looked at Niu Niu who was as cute as a snowball. The little girl's eyes were big and bright, and she kept staring at the pastries on the table. They just felt like some kind of extremely cute little animal.

"This! Flower cake! Give her two pieces, it's delicious!"

"This, this! My white jade roll is also delicious!"

A group of noble ladies all wanted to give the cakes in front of them to Niu Niu. It was the first time that they discovered that feeding children was so interesting. When Niu Niu returned to the rockery, she was holding a plate full of pastries.

"Eat quickly! My sisters gave it to me!" Niu Niu presented a plate of food to Qin Jingshu like a treasure.

Qin Jingshu swallowed, but still shook her head and said, "My mother doesn't agree with me eating more..."

But Niuniu said: "Eat less in front of your mother. If your mother is not here, she can't control it. It's okay, just eat!"

After Niuniu finished speaking, she picked up a piece of pastry and started eating it.

"It's so delicious! Who made this? It's better than the white jade rolls I've eaten in the past!" Niu Niu wished she could even swallow her fingers.

Qin Jingshu glanced at the pastries on the plate and said, "It should be the pastries from Baiweifang. Their pastries are very finely made and taste better than those from the Imperial Kitchen."

Qin Jingshu obviously wanted to educate Niu Niu about science, but after talking a few more words, she drooled more and more. She recalled the wonderful taste of this pastry and couldn't hold it back. She stretched out her hand, ready to pick it up through the handkerchief. piece.

Niu Niu frowned and looked at her: "Your handkerchief is full of tears. Don't you feel salty when you eat the cakes?"

Qin Jingshu:…

But if Qin Jingshu, like Niu Niu, directly takes the cakes with her hands, she can't overcome the hurdle in her heart.

Niu Niu took her handkerchief away, looked at Qin Jingshu's bewildered face, and said, "Take it with your hands!"

Qin Jingshu shook her head with a confused look on her face: "Girls are not allowed to eat with their hands."

Niuniu was confused: "What about eating fruits? Don't you eat fruits with your hands? Don't you hold them?"

Qin Jingshu said in a matter-of-fact tone: "Someone cuts the fruit and eats it with a fork. Besides, I can't eat too much fruit."

Niuniu's eyes widened in disbelief.

Qin Jingshu said with an embarrassed look: "I have too many things to do, but that's how my family has always taught me."

Niu Niu rolled her eyes and said, "Young ladies can't eat with your hands, but we are in the rockery now. It's different. You are Sister Qin now, not Miss Qin. You can eat with your hands."

Qin Jingshu's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this.

People who have been suppressed for a long time can't help but tremble with excitement when they have the opportunity to resist, even at a very young age.

"It's just a piece of cake, don't be nervous." Niu Niu reminded.

Qin Jingshu forced herself to calm down. At this time, she was still thinking about what her mother had taught her, and she should remain as calm as Mount Tai in the face of major events.

Qin Jingshu suddenly didn't want to calm down anymore. She reached out to grab the piece of pastry and stuffed it into her mouth.

"It's delicious! It's so delicious!" Qin Jingshu couldn't help but laugh while eating.

She smiled and suddenly got excited.

"You eat and sleep without saying a word! Who made you smile so shallowly? Even if your noble lady smiles, the corners of her mouth should not be too wide. A light smile is the best..." These words of Mrs. Xianguo kept echoing in Qin Jingshu's ears.

Qin Jingshu lowered her head, and after a moment, she swallowed the pastry and showed an extremely exaggerated smile to Niu Niu as if on purpose.

"Niuniu, can I have another piece?" Qin Jingshu is used to asking.

Niu Niu frowned and said, "Sister Qin, I brought it here just to share it with you. Of course, you can eat it as you like. If you...eat it, just eat it...don't give me a fake smile..."
