The tyrant family read my heart and doted on me.

Before she saw Feng Tianzhu, she could never imagine who sent the mysterious wooden doll every year.

Now when she saw Feng Tianzhu and saw the same orchid on his shoulder, she finally understood everything. Those wooden dolls were secretly given to her by her Seventeenth Brother.

But since he gave it to me, why didn't he tell me?

strangeness.

Jiujiu said goodbye to her father and Emperor Qing'an, and after returning to her residence, she found the pile of wooden dolls from her storeroom and looked at them for verification.

Jin Kui and Aunt Gui saw that she had suddenly found these things and asked in confusion: "My dear princess, why did you look at these pieces of wood as soon as you came back?"

"What's so interesting about this?"

"It's just a pile of wood, ugly at that. Only a few of them look good."

Aunt Gui reminded: "Princess, when you were away, the Queen Mother kept talking about you. Now that you are back, you should spend some time with the Queen Mother!"

"Yeah." Jiujiu responded, and her slender fingers stroked the wooden doll in her hand.

【So many wooden dolls.】

[The reason why some of them look good is probably because Brother Seventeen is getting older and his carving skills are becoming more sophisticated.]

Jiujiu can figure it out.

In response to Jin Kui's words, Jiujiu said: "Jin Kui, don't say such nonsense anymore. It's all from the heart." The most precious thing in this world is sincerity.

"Oh, I see." Jin Kui responded.

Jiujiu looked at the wood and imagined how Feng Tianzhu had carefully carved wooden dolls every year since she was a child.

.

When five-year-old Feng Tianzhu knew he had a younger sister, he was very happy. When he heard that his sister's birthday was coming, he was very excited and thought every day about what birthday gift he should give his sister.

He wanted to give his sister the best birthday gift and make her happy.

However, his biological mother had died, and he was not valued by his father. Everyone in the palace treated him with disdain and ignored him. The palace servants who served him were not attentive, and he could hardly get enough food and clothing every day.

It can be said that even a clay Buddha cannot save himself when crossing the river.

How could he afford to give his sister the best gift?

No.

He could only give his sister a wooden doll that he carved himself.

In order to carve the wooden doll to look better and have its expression and behavior resemble that of his sister, he would always ignore the palace maids who were watching him and sneak away to the imperial garden where his sister often went. He would hide in the dark and secretly observe his sister's appearance. After observing carefully, he would come back and carve and polish it day and night.

Every year.

Ten consecutive years.

Have fun.

The reason why he suddenly began to distance himself from his sister, resented her, and was jealous of her was not simply because his father favored his sister and would never see him. There was another very important reason, the wooden doll.

One year on Jiujiu's birthday, Feng Tianzhu found a way to give Jiujiu a wooden doll early on. It was a wooden doll that he had spent almost half a month carving. It was lifelike and beautifully carved, the best one he had ever carved over the years.

While carving the wooden doll, his hand was injured and he had to rest for a whole month before it healed.

During that month, he was unable to complete the homework assigned by the teacher due to his hand injury. He was punished with a ruler every day, and his other hand did not feel better either.

However, when he happily asked someone to give the wooden doll to Jiujiu, he was poured a basin of cold water.

Jiujiu just took a look and threw it away in a hurry. She looked as if she had grabbed a hot potato, very disgusted and trying to avoid it.

No one wants the things they worked so hard to make to be treated and despised like this.

Feng Tianzhu couldn't accept it and walked away wiping her tears.

From then on, he never gave Jiujiu any gifts again, and every time he saw Jiujiu, he gritted his teeth.

This time, it is aimed at Shang Jiujiu.

"Feng Jiujiu, when I get better, I won't let you go."

"I want you to pay me back for what you owe me."

"I will take back everything that belongs to me."

Feng Tianzhu dreamt of the scene last night where Jiujiu mercilessly threw away the wooden doll he had given her. He woke up with a start. When he woke up, he was still furious and twisted the quilt tightly. Because he twisted the quilt too hard, the finger bones on the back of his hands turned white and his eyes were full of unwillingness.

.

Early in the morning, when Jiujiu woke up, he looked at the wooden dolls that were placed by the window last night, a total of nine.

She suddenly remembered that there was still one missing.

"Princess, are you awake?"

Jin Kui came in with a gold-plated washbasin and helped Jiujiu wash up.

Jiujiu rubbed his head, looked at the row of wooden dolls by the window, and said, "I remember that there were ten wooden dolls. One of them was poisoned by someone who had ulterior motives. If someone touched it, it would rot your hands, so I threw it away in a hurry."

"That's right." Jin Kui also remembered, "The princess's hand was injured at that time, but it was her birthday party, so in order not to make people worry, the princess kept silent and endured it herself."

"As for the wooden doll, Jin Kui wrapped it in a handkerchief and carefully burned it."

"Jin Kui was so scared at that time."

"I really don't know who wants to harm the princess? They are so vicious that they even want to destroy the princess's hand."

This happened many years ago, and the time gap is long. Jin Kui remembered it so clearly because Jiujiu's hand was injured and she endured it by herself without saying a word. She felt distressed when she saw it.

"A common man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure." Jiujiu said frankly as he threw off the quilt, got out of bed, and put on his shoes, "Having the favor of my father is a crime. There are many people who want to harm me secretly."

"Who knows who it is?"

Jiujiu sent someone to investigate at the time, but they found nothing, so she just let it go without dwelling on it any further. She just became much more careful and would have someone carefully check anything handed to her.

Jin Kui was still wondering who it was.

"Who cares?" Jiujiu glanced at Jinkui and quickly got up and washed.

Today, the emperor said that he would wait for her to have breakfast together.

She had to hurry and not be late.

After Jiujiu washed up, she went to the emperor's bedroom and met Feng Tianzhu on the way.

After last night's treatment, Feng Tianzhu felt better. He no longer had a fever and was no longer confused. Now, he was being carried to be beaten with a military stick.

His father had imposed twenty military sticks as a punishment, and he would go to receive it as soon as he recovered.

I didn’t expect to meet Jiujiu.

Feng Tianzhu said unhappily: "Oh, you actually got up so early? It's really rare."

"I heard that when you return to the palace, you won't get up until the sun shines on your butt."

"..." Jiujiu was speechless, "Jiujiu never sleeps in, okay?"

【Who told him that? 】

[Or did someone dishonestly tell him in a dream? ]

Feng Tianzhu: “…”

What did he hear?

[Speaking of which, Jiujiu already knows that he has been sending me wooden dolls as birthday gifts for ten consecutive years. I wonder if I should tell him? ]
