When encountering things, don't rush, don't panic.
First take a photo and post it on social media.
After posting, you'll anxiously wait for likes.
Of course, Mianmian didn't have a phone.
Hadn't played with one for a long time.
Didn't seem to miss it either.
Just got used to it.
At this moment, seeing Princess Grandma's panic, Mianmian could only comfort her.
She remembered the first time she met Princess Grandma, that carefree recklessness was actually quite stylish.
Now she's become so anxious and insecure.
Indeed, this is what Father said, don't get emotionally involved.
You'll become foolish and lose yourself.
This earthquake was relatively mild.
Like winter thunder, or as if the Earth God was taking a nap.
But Princess Huiyun felt her heart pounding.
She seemed a bit lost.
Mianmian had no choice but to take Princess Grandma home.
The princess mansion was too big, too lacking in security.
Better to go home.
It feels like no matter how big the problems outside are, they disappear when you see Father and Mom.
In the carriage.
Princess Huiyun noticed that not only was Cong Brother calm, but Mianmian was very composed too.
Cong Brother's unique background and extensive experiences made his calmness understandable.
Plus, royal family members were mostly expressionless, perhaps it was hereditary.
But Princess Huiyun thought Mianmian should be a rather delicate and fussy young girl, yet she was surprisingly calm.
Holding the little one, her own heart beating rapidly, her arms trembling uncontrollably, she couldn't help but ask when she saw how peaceful the little one was: "Aren't you afraid?"
Mianmian thought for a moment and said: "I am scared. Grandma, you know when a horse is targeted by horseflies, it will frantically swat its tail at them, but can never hit them, then it becomes agitated, keeps jumping, and in severe cases goes crazy until it exhausts itself to death."
Princess Huiyun: ...Never raised horses.
Whimper, her child actually needs to raise horses.
"Horseflies suck blood and are annoying, but they're not lethal, they only take about one-twentieth of blood," Mianmian held out her finger, indicating just a tiny bit.
"But it's irritating, painful, uncomfortable, disturbs your thoughts, makes horses agitated, frenzied, until they go mad and wear themselves out to death, while the clever horsefly might just fly off to another horse," Mianmian ate a piece of preserved fruit passed by Cong Brother and continued.
"Earthquakes, or other life hardships, or difficulties we encounter, all make us irritated, or hurt, or injured, or uncomfortable, but truly speaking, none are fatal, yet we often get stuck on small things, keep torturing ourselves, drive ourselves crazy, like mad horses, charging into other horses, hitting cliffs, bleeding until life ends, while the original cause has long disappeared."
Mianmian finished the preserved fruit, it was still sticky on her teeth, wanted to pick it out with her finger but that wasn't hygienic, should invent some dental floss.
Dental health should be taken seriously.
After saying all this.
She went back to looking for snacks.
When food gets stuck in your teeth, besides dental floss and fingers, there's another way - use a new piece of preserved fruit to lure out the stuck piece.
Just keep eating.
Both Princess Huiyun and Cong Brother fell silent.
Princess Huiyun strangely felt like her granddaughter was teaching her about life again.
The heaven's chosen one, Princess Huiyun, felt her face burning slightly.
What was this little one saying, why did it make so much sense o(╥﹏╥)o.
Cong Brother pondered, casually picking another piece of preserved fruit that Mianmian liked.
He knew she preferred slightly sour sweetness, not pure sweetness.
Mianmian successfully used the new preserved fruit to lure out the stuck piece.
Then another tooth got sticky.
At this time, there was a new trick.
Could eat some salty snacks to balance it out, like beef jerky or spicy strips.
Teeth need exercise and use to stay healthy, if left unused, they'll quickly become loose and develop many new problems.
Mianmian continued eating salty snacks.
Princess Huiyun was still shocked by the lesson she'd received.
She had almost no setbacks in her life, except for one time when she couldn't be with the person she loved, though this was actually quite common.
In this world, who gets to marry exactly who they love?
Others try to live good lives, but she had been punishing herself forever because of one disappointment.
These years she lived in a daze, accomplished nothing, kept courting death, couldn't get over herself, just like those mad horses.
Today she was unexpectedly taught another lesson.
Princess Huiyun looked at the little one before her with complex emotions and couldn't help asking: "How do you know so much?"
Mianmian smiled and said: "Father gave me a horse farm, it's very big, the horses are beautiful, sometimes I can spend a whole day under the blue sky on the grassland, just watching the horses. When Grandma is free someday, I'll take you to play, Grandma we can roam the world together, we can even form a group, called Black Whirlwind Grandma and her Super Duper Cute Mianmian Granddaughter Combo."
Princess Huiyun: *cough cough cough*
Cong Brother: ...
Princess Huiyun thought if she took her granddaughter roaming the world, she might be immediately wanted by her son.
With her daughter-in-law's strength...
"Don't talk nonsense, are you asking for another beating from your Mom?"
Mianmian smiled ingratiatingly.
"I'm just talking with Grandma, don't worry I won't tell Father and Mom that Grandma wants to take me roaming the world."
Princess Huiyun: ...I didn't, I haven't.
Somehow, thinking of her son's gaze and daughter-in-law's strength.
Princess Huiyun silently felt a bit scared.
She just wanted to challenge her weakness, not her lifespan.
"Grandma, see how we experienced an earthquake today and luckily survived, don't you feel like we've escaped death, that we're fortunate? Next time when you're unhappy, think about today, all the days ahead are bonus days, given by heaven, won't that make you a bit happier?"
Mianmian said.
She was very happy here, and cherished it, because every day of being alive might be a gift from heaven.
