Xiao Yao didn't care what the Yun brothers thought. She had decided to act her true self in front of the Jingwang family and leave her ladylike side to those who didn't understand her character.

"Miss Xiao, do you think these are enough?" the guard asked, pointing to a small ceramic jar. He felt aggrieved no matter how he thought about it, asking a master of the Imperial Palace to use his own sword to do this job, but he had to obey his master's orders, so he hoped to finish the task assigned by Miss Xiao as soon as possible so that he could return to his master to report.

"Can you do me one more favor? One last one." Xiao Yao stretched out a finger and shook it.

Seeing that Prince Jing ignored him, the guard had no choice but to nod again helplessly. He was a little confused as to whether he was the prince's guard or Miss Xiao's attendant.

"You give your orders."

"Can you help me hang the worm on the hook?" Although she wasn't afraid of earthworms, as a girl, Xiao Yao didn't want to touch them. She also didn't want to scare her sister and the princess so that they wouldn't play with her anymore, so she had to leave this difficult task to the guard uncle.

"Do you want to use it to fish? Don't be silly, fish won't eat this kind of thing! They like to eat fragrant pasta." Mu Fengwu felt that as a senior brother, it was his responsibility to remind his junior sister.

"The worm I just picked up fell off. Master Mu is so close to me, he must have seen where it fell. Please help me find it." Xiao Yao asked Mu Fengwu for his opinion with a smile.

"It fell... just now? I... I didn't see it, I really didn't see it. Don't ask me, I don't know." Mu Fengwu stepped back repeatedly, with one foot already in the pond. Each of the Yun brothers stretched out a hand to hold him back. Seeing Mu Fengwu's wet shoes and socks, and his pale face; and then looking at Xiao Yao's curved eyebrows and the expression of covering her lips with a smile, what else was there to not understand!

"I've told you to talk less. That girl is cunning and eccentric. You'll be fooled by her if you're not careful. But you didn't believe me. Now look what you've done! You're a grown man, but you've embarrassed yourself so much." Yun Yichen lectured Mu Fengwu in a frustrated manner. There were few people he knew who had provoked her without being retaliated against. Xiao Jingyan seemed to be much smarter than Mu Fengwu, but he still suffered a loss in front of the little girl.

"Let's see if you can learn your lesson in the future." Yun Yifan raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes filled with smiles.

"I was fooled by my junior sister, right?" Mu Fengwu realized it belatedly and took a long time to react.

On the other side, Xiao Yao had already sat down. She took the fishing rod prepared by the guard as she requested and started fishing in full view of everyone.

I don’t know if she was lucky or the fish in the pond really liked to eat earthworms, but not long after Xiao Yao cast the fishing rod, a fish took the bait. This was undoubtedly great news for the three little girls who had caught nothing.

There have always been two fish in King Jing's fish basket. He has not caught any fish since Xiao Yao started digging for earthworms. Now, seeing that the little girl, who is obviously a novice, is using worms as bait to fish, and her results are quite good, King Jing thought to himself: Should I try this new method?

King Jing signaled to the people around him to change the bait for him. In less than half an incense stick of time, King Jing caught another fish.

So a group of people surrounded the two anglers, one big and one small, and wanted to see if the miracle would continue.

"Father caught something again." Yun Ruonan said with a smile.

After a while.

"My sister also caught one." Xiao Yuan didn't care about hating the bug, and stood beside Xiao Yao, clapping his hands excitedly and shouting.

"Princess, please ask the prince and everyone to go back for dinner." Qiuying found the edge of the pond. Now everyone was there, so she didn't have to look around.

"Today's competition ends here. From now on, I will change to fishing with insects." Although King Jing put down the fishing rod with a sense of unsatisfaction, he had to think about the children's stomachs. It didn't matter if the boys were a little hungry, but the delicate girls must not suffer. Besides, Ruonan and Miss Xiao were still sick, and they could not do without enough nutrition.

"So, we lost, right?" Xiao Yuan counted the fish in King Jing's fish basket, then looked at the number on his own side and said dejectedly.

"The prince will definitely not count our defeat as his." Xiao Yao comforted her sister.

"Why? You caught half less than the prince!" Mu Fengwu, whose mouth is always one step faster than his brain, spoke again.

The two brothers of the Yun family smiled at each other. They should have let him fall into the pond just now. If he was fooled again, they would not care about anything and would not let him get involved.

"Your Highness is such an upright man! How could he take advantage of us kids?" Xiao Yao didn't say it directly, but first praised the other party greatly.

King Jing thought about it and immediately understood what Xiao Yao meant. He thought that since he had caught the fish with the bait prepared by others, he should at least give half of it to them. This way, the game would be 3 to 3, a draw.

"Junior sister, what do you mean by this? Can you please not say half and keep the other half?" Mu Fengwu was scratching his head anxiously. Could it be that his brain was not good enough and he failed to understand the meaning of his junior sister's words? But she said it so obscurely, who could understand it!

Looking around, King Jing looked at his junior sister with a smile without saying a word, as if he had understood the meaning of that sentence; the Yun brothers seemed to understand it as well, and turned to discuss how to eat the fish; the two younger ones didn't even think about this problem, but were discussing where to go for fun in the afternoon... Am I the only idiot?

Mu Fengwu felt that he had fallen into the trap set by his junior sister again. It seemed that he had to reconsider the marriage between Xiaoqi and his junior sister. He didn't want his younger brother to be teased by his junior sister every day.

"What does Yiping'an mean?" King Jing asked with a smile.

"How about calling it a draw? This way, it won't be too embarrassing for us, and you won't suffer too much." Xiao Yao quickly smiled back. We don't want the gift, can you please give us some face?

"Okay, just listen to Ping'an. I will give each of you three a box of jewelry as a reward for thanking Ping'an for teaching my uncle how to fish." Anyway, I don't lack these things now, so I'll just take it as a way to make the children happy.

"I don't want the gift. You don't count us as losers. Ping An is already very grateful." Xiao Yao declined. Yun Ruonan and Ruyi could accept King Jing's gifts at will because they were close relatives. I'd better not want it. No matter how many jewels I have, I can't wear them all on my head at once. Besides, I never value those things.

King Jing looked into Xiao Yao's clear, shining eyes and knew she wasn't being pretentious. She genuinely hadn't thought about asking for a gift. If only the child were three or four years older, she would be a very suitable daughter-in-law. Alas! It's a pity there are too many little Achens.

The girls changed their clothes first, then chatted and laughed all the way to the dining room. Because Yun Ruonan and Xiao Yao were already seven years old, they were divided into two tables for boys and girls today. Yin Qianhua brought three girls, and King Jing brought three boys.

"Junior sister, please help me explain it! I also beg you to finish what you want to say right away next time. Isn't it okay for me to admit that I'm not as smart as you?" Mu Fengwu chose to surrender for the sake of an answer. When no one explained his doubts to him, he couldn't even enjoy his meal.

Xiao Yao pretended not to hear him and continued eating.

"Why are you still hesitating about it? Uncle Wang caught those two fish with Junior Sister's... bait, right? If each of us gets half, it's a draw, right?" Yun Yifan wanted to say something fishy, but when he saw the food already on the table, he changed his words.

No wonder this cousin was chased and beaten by his grandfather. If I had such a talkative and stupid kid in my family, I would also teach him a lesson, Yun Yifan glanced at Mu Fengwu with disdain and complained in his heart.

"Junior sister, you are too cunning. You are afraid that the prince will be angry if you tell him directly, right? That's why you said it so vaguely. Poor me, I was still thinking hard about it, but in the end I was the only stupid one. I tell you, girls can't have so many evil ideas. If you do, you won't be able to get married in the future." Mu Fengwu was worried about his junior sister. How smart a brain must one have to be to match his junior sister!

"Cough, cough, cough..." A series of coughing sounds came from behind the screen.

"Qiuying, go and pour Ping'an a glass of water." Yin Qianhua instructed while rubbing Xiao Yao's back.

"Can't you just sit still for a while while eating?" Yun Yichen glared at Mu Fengwu. After all, the little girl was a guest in his home. It was too vicious to make fun of her for not being able to get married in public.

"Young Master Mu, my sister has never provoked you. Why do you say that to her? If even my sister can't get married, there will be few young ladies in Kyoto who can get married." Xiao Yuan walked behind the screen and vented his dissatisfaction to Mu Fengwu.

Although Xiao Yuan's words were spoken in anger, King Jing's family quite agreed with her point of view. If Xiao Yao couldn't get married with her appearance and character, then how many young ladies from official families would be left waiting to be married in the capital!

"Ruyi, come back for dinner." Xiao Yao didn't intend to talk about this topic because she felt it was completely unnecessary. Whether she got married or not was up to her family to decide and had nothing to do with these outsiders.

"Little Junior Sister, don't be angry. Senior Brother doesn't dislike you. He just hopes you can be more ladylike and gentle. With your appearance and character, you will definitely marry a good husband in the future."

"Master Mu, don't worry. I'm not angry. As for the future, my parents and family will take care of it. But what do you mean by me being full of tricks? I'll definitely ask my grandfather about it when I see him next time."

"I will tell my grandfather that you said bad things about my sister. Just wait for your beating!" Xiao Yuan said angrily.

"Please don't, my two junior sisters, isn't it enough that I was wrong? I won't say anything nonsense again. Please forgive me this time!" Mu Fengwu also came behind the screen and bowed and apologized.

No matter how much trouble this guy makes, I have no idea what he's trying to do. I can't live without being bullied for a few days. He must be sick, the Yun brothers thought as they watched Mu Fengwu make a fool of himself.

After a messy lunch, the three girls went to the backyard and never appeared again. Prince Jing and his wife also went to their own world, leaving only three young men wandering around the courtyard. Mu Fengwu and Yun Yifan came to celebrate Princess Jing's birthday, and they planned to leave tomorrow.
