After his inner voice was read, the little cannon fodder became the darling of the world

Nangong Xuan gently touched Nangong Ba's head.

"Well, I think he has been found. Mother's letter said that Lao Ba can be saved."

When the brothers heard this, they all gathered around Nangong Ba, hugged him, and talked and laughed.

"Great! Old Eight is saved!"

The fifth child, Nangong Huan, and the seventh child, Nangong Can, snuggled up to Nangong Xuan.

"Now only my second brother is left. When we get better, we can work together to find a solution."

"Yes, as long as we brothers work together, there is nothing we can't do."

**

New Year approached.

That afternoon, the family sat in the flower hall of the main courtyard to discuss matters concerning the New Year.

"New Year's Eve happens to be the Queen's birthday. There will definitely be a gift-giving session at this year's New Year's Eve palace banquet. What gift should we prepare for the Queen?"

Nangong Yunxue looked at Nangong Honglie and said, "The Nangong family can give you anything they want. What matters is the thought. Jiuer and I will have to consider it carefully."

Everyone nodded in unison: "Yes, the Queen is so kind to you and your daughter, you should choose a gift carefully.

How about this, let's go to Wanbaolou some other day and choose a better one."

As everyone was talking, Xiao Wang slowly walked into the flower hall, carrying Nangong Jiu, who was sucking his fingers happily.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Nangong Jiu chuckled and stretched out his drooling little fist to everyone.

For you...

"Hey, Xiao Jiuer, you think your hands taste delicious, do you want us to have a taste too?"

"Cuckoo..."

“Haha… good boy, little Jiuer, thank you so much, you can eat it by yourself!” Nangong Yunsheng thanked with a smile.

Nangong Yunxue covered her mouth and laughed: "Ever since Eunuch Wei gave her the fruit cut into strips, she has been like this. She will be unhappy if she is not allowed to eat it."

"All children have the habit of sucking their fingers, so just wash her hands a few more times a day.

Be careful when cutting the fruit into strips, so as not to choke her." Chu Ruoyan reminded.

"Well, I see."

Nangong Yunxue hugged Nangong Jiu into her arms.

"Jiu'er, your royal grandmother's birthday is on New Year's Eve. You have to celebrate her birthday on that day."

[Birthday celebration? Okay, okay! ]

After agreeing, he hesitated and said, "What birthday gift should we prepare for the Royal Grandmother?"

"As for birthday gifts, let's go to Wanbaolou and choose something better."

[No need! Leave this to me. I will make sure to prepare a birthday gift for the Empress Dowager that no one else has!]

Nangong Yunxue looked at everyone, then at Nangong Jiu, without saying anything.

Only after returning to Ruixueyuan did Nangong Yunxue ask seriously.

"Jiu'er, you said you prepared the birthday gift yourself, is that true?"

[Really? Don't worry, mother. We will definitely have a gift for you when the time comes.]

"Well, then, mother will rely on Jiuer!"

Nangong Jiu chewed on his little fist, thinking about what birthday gift to give.

Birthday gifts should preferably be related to longevity and be unique.

What should I choose?

The Empress Dowager has no shortage of worldly things.

By the way, the food served at the Queen Mother’s birthday banquet was peaches.

Peach itself symbolizes longevity.

Or, should I give some to the Empress Dowager?

"Xiao Xing and Xiao Wang, what do you think of giving away peaches?"

Xiao Wang answered the question irrelevantly.

"Your Majesty, for your sake, perhaps this can be accomplished."

Nangong Jiu thought of the sound transmission mirror given by his elder brother, and quickly took it out and muttered to himself in the mirror.

After a while, the mirror flashed and Nangong Xuan responded.

"Xiaojiu, when giving gifts, it's important to put your heart into it. A gift that is carefully chosen won't be bad.

As for the peaches, you can try to move Heaven with your filial piety, maybe he can help you."

Nangong Jiu put away the sound transmission mirror.

As the empress, I had eaten a lot of peaches from the Queen Mother before. But now, I am just a mortal, would the Queen Mother still be willing to give me some?

If you want to successfully obtain the peaches, you can only ask for help from heaven.

Nangong Jiu made up his mind and raised his little fist with a smile: "Tian Dao, please do me a favor!

My great grandmother in the human world is about to celebrate her birthday.

The Empress Dowager treated my mother and me like her own daughters.

It can be said that without the protection of the Imperial Grandmother and others, my mother and I would have been drowned by other people’s saliva, and we would not have been able to live the life we ​​have today.

I want some peaches to celebrate the birthday of my grandmother and show my filial piety.

Can you talk to the Queen Mother for me?"

Tiandao and Siming Xingjun, who were standing in front of the magic mirror, were amused by Nangong Jiu's little intention.

"This little girl usually looks so fierce, why is she suddenly so polite today and no longer threatening to pull out our beards?"

"Haha...it was probably her brothers who educated her."

"It's hard to say! Maybe she restrained her temper because she wanted to ask me for something!

The mortal emperor and empress were indeed very good to the little girl, and it was rare for the little girl to know how to be grateful.

Today, seeing that she has a good attitude, I will go to the Queen Mother to discuss giving her some peaches as a token of my filial piety."

After Tiandao finished speaking, he put his hands behind his back and disappeared on the spot.

Siming Xingjun shook his head and laughed: "When it comes to matters concerning the Empress, you always lose your principles.

You say you are not biased, but your heart is biased beyond the three realms."

Here, after finding Tiandao, Nangong Jiu waited with peace of mind.

Two days later, in the middle of the night, Nangong Jiu suddenly woke up from his sleep.

I saw Tiandao standing in the house with a smile on his face.

"I have brought you the peaches you requested.

You should stay in this mortal world peacefully, accumulate more merits, and return to heaven when your merits are complete."

Nangong Jiu was in a good mood: "Got it, thank you for your help this time!"

Tiandao left with satisfaction.

Nangong Jiu, who was lying on his back, could only smell the peach fragrance. He wanted to turn sideways to have a look, but he couldn't turn sideways after trying for a long time.

Xiaoxing couldn't bear it, so he pushed her and she turned over.

"Your Majesty, two baskets of peaches and two jars of fine wine!" Xiao Wang said excitedly.

Two baskets?

According to the Queen Mother’s custom, one basket holds eight, and two baskets hold sixteen!

There are also two pots of fine wine!

Not bad, not bad, the Queen Mother is really generous this time!

Nangong Jiu counted on his fingers, put the peaches and the nectar into his pocket, and took out another peach for Xiao Wang.

"You and Xiaoxing have worked hard to protect me and my mother! There aren't many, so you can share them."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xiao Wang and Xiao Xing revealed their true forms and happily shared the food.

The next morning.

Nangong Jiu wakes up.

Nangong Yunxue, who was washing and packing, quickly picked up the person.

"Jiu'er, are you awake?"

[Mother, mother, I have prepared a birthday gift for the Royal Grandmother! ]

"Oh, what is it? Let mother see it quickly." Nangong Xue asked with a smile.

[Go poop first, go poop first! ] Nangong Jiu frowned and reminded with a red face.

Nangong Yunxue held back her laughter and took Nangong Jiu to the inner room to take care of the defecation issue.

After resolving his urgent need, Nangong Jiu waved his arms and kicked his legs, and said happily: "Mother, the birthday gift I prepared for the Royal Grandmother is guaranteed to be unique, and others can't buy it even if they have money!"

With Nangong Jiu's abilities, it's not surprising that he prepared some rare treasures.

Nangong Yunxue thought of this and praised with a smile.

"Well, Jiuer is the best. She prepared the birthday gift by herself without mom having to worry about anything."

"But, what treasure did you prepare? Can you let mother see it?"
