”Sister is back, sister is back!” The little olive got off the school, and after entering the door, he saw that the princess had been sent back by He Yuan. He was overjoyed for a moment and said, ”I was really afraid that the princess would not return it after borrowing her sister.”
”Hehe, the princess has adopted your sister as her adopted daughter, unlike the previous time when she went to stay with Madam Anping.” The lady explained a few words, and after a while, she made people go to wash the faces of the little olives and the little ball, and then said to He Nian: ”The housekeeper sat in a carriage with a little ball. Behind the carriage, there were all kinds of things that the princess had bestowed upon her, and everything was prepared for eating and dressing. There were also several pieces of fine silk from the palace, said to be for the old ladies and their wives. I'll leave it all to the old lady, and she'll take care of it. As for the items to reward the little round ball, the old lady brought them over first. She said that since the princess had given them to the little round ball, she would take it for herself. ”
The little olive had not seen He Yuan for a few days, so he had already embraced him and whispered, ”Little sister, mother wants to add a little brother to our family.”
”Why are you two whispering? Come over and have some snacks! ” When the elder sister heard Olive and He Yuan whispering to each other, she couldn't help but laugh and say, ”But we haven't seen each other for a few days, there are so many things to say.”
”Mom, I told my sister that you have a baby in your stomach. You can't have a baby with me anymore!” The little olive only nodded its head and said after a while, ”Mother, how did that baby get into your stomach?”
”Yeah, how did you get in?” When He Yuan heard the little olives ask questions that all the children would ask, he acted like he was as curious as the little olives and asked innocently, ”How do I get out after I go in?”
”Cough, I'll ask your father!” The young mistress blushed and refused to answer.
He Nian saw the two curious babies turn their heads and wait for his answer. He coughed and said, ”You will know when you grow up! ”Yeah, I'm going to the front!” As he spoke, he fled.
The little olive and He Yuan looked at each other and asked, ”Daddy, why are you running?”
He Yuan pinched the corner of his shirt to hold back his laughter. ”Daddy didn't know how the baby got into Mommy's stomach. He was afraid that if we asked more, we'd run away!”
”So there were things that father didn't know as well.” The little olive sighed as he shook his head. ”The baby is so pitiful. No one even knows where he came from!”
”Cough!” He Yuan stuck a mouthful of dessert in his throat, choking to the point that his little face turned red and his little feet started stomping on the ground.
”Oh, drink some water!” When she saw He Yuan choking, she quickly went to pat his back and serve her some water. She reminded him, ”This glutinous rice ball is stuck to the throat, only by eating slowly will it not choke.”
In a moment, Chun Ying came over to tell him that the princess' gift to the old lady had already been arranged by the eldest young mistress, Li Jiayi, and that she had also brought a lot of supplements for her elder sister.
Since the new year was drawing near, each of them had to make new clothes for the new year. Since they were in a hurry, each of them had to make new clothes in preparation for the new year, and since they were in a bad mood, they only let Qiu Tang and Qiu Pingping help them with their needlework. He only rushed four pairs of shoes so that he could send them to the He family for the new year.
A few days later, the Grand Princess sent someone to escort He Yuan back. He Yuan had just arrived, but the palace attendant, Eunuch Chang, had sent word that the Empress had heard that the Grand Princess had taken in a foster daughter, but wanted to meet him. Although Eunuch Chang was a red person in front of the empress, she didn't dare to act arrogantly in front of the eldest princess. When she saw He Yuan and saw that she was obedient, she praised her a few more times before continuing, ”A few days ago, Madam Anping paid her respects to the empress. When she talked about the goddaughter that the eldest princess had adopted, she only praised her and repeated the conversation she had with the son of the general's family, as well as what the empress had said to make the empress happy. ”Now that we have met, although elder sister is young, she is truly exceptionally intelligent.”
As Eunuch Chang spoke, he saw He Yuan change his clothes and his eyes lit up. ”Wearing this little fox fur robe makes your face look even more exquisite. just like the Grand Princess when she was young. ”
As she was speaking, the sedan was ready. The Grand Princess hugged He Yuan's sedan chair and gave a few instructions, but when she saw how the Empress was bowing, she waited. He Yuan nodded in agreement. Hehe, we're going to travel to the palace for a day.
When they reached the palace, another servant came over and said, ”The empress followed the emperor to the imperial garden for a banquet. Please invite the eldest princess to bring elder sister to the imperial garden!”
”I've heard that the State of Beitang has sent an envoy to receive them. Will you receive them?” The Grand Princess hurriedly ordered the palanquin to carry them to the warm room in the imperial garden. While asking the attendant, he said, ”Earlier, I heard that the little prince of Beicheng, Tang Zhili, had come together and boasted that he would compete with the First and Second Princes in this competition. Is this true?”
The servant drew closer to the sedan, ”Grand Princess, you don't know? That little prince was no more than six years old, and he claimed to be a child prodigy from Northern Cheng Kingdom. His demeanor was truly detestable. We, the First Prince and Second Prince, are already thirteen years old and twelve years old. Naturally, we can't quarrel with him, a kid, over chess and martial arts. If we win, they would say that we are bullying the weak. At this moment, he was looking for someone who might be younger than the young prince of Beicheng and had a clever mouth. If he lost, then he would say that he was still young and immature, but he wouldn't be in trouble. If he won, it would be a joyous occasion. Although the young princess of the palace was intelligent, she was still too young. She was only four years old. Normally, she would cause a lot of commotion and even cry. Naturally, she couldn't be expected to bully Tang Zhi Li. It was rude to look at Tang Zhili, who was jumping up and down to talk to him. From time to time, he would even say a few words to stop him from talking. It was really infuriating. ”
