Yi Huan thought about it, but she still asked Su Luo first, "Mother, can Huanhuan ride it?"
With Chi Yi holding her hand, Su Luo didn't say anything more: "Mmm!"
"Thank you, Mother! Thank you, Uncle Chi!"
Upon arriving at the gate of Prince Yu's residence, before even entering, the group saw many guards carrying things inside, mostly children's items.
Chi Yi lifted Yi Huan off the horse and entered the mansion, where he saw Nangong Chiyu making a small wooden horse.
"Prince Yu!"
Yi Huan had finally managed to meet Nangong Chiyu, and as soon as they met, she couldn't wait to call out to him.
Nangong Chiyu stood up and turned around to see Yi Huan and Su Luo. His eyes were filled with a smile, as gentle as the warm sun in early spring.
"Yi Huan! Come here..."
Yi Huan looked up and went over only after seeing that Su Luo had agreed.
"Your Highness, you have so many fun things here, can Huanhuan play with them all?"
Yi Huan saw that the whole yard was full of toys, not only small rocking horses, but also two of them.
"This is a book... I bought it for you, and for your brother too!"
Nangong Chiyu wanted to call himself "this king," but suddenly felt it was inappropriate.
He has already ordered an investigation, and within the past seven years, there have been three soldiers in Beichuan City named Chen Huaixu.
If he investigates everything carefully, he might find out the truth.
Could it be Chen Huaixu? Yi Huan looks so much like him.
“My brother also received a share. Yi Huan thanks Prince Yu on behalf of her brother.”
Yi Huan already had all those toys, but she was still very happy with the ones Nangong Chiyu bought for her.
"I didn't know what you siblings liked, so I just bought these randomly."
"Yihuan, is there anything you like? Tell me and I'll add more for you. Also, what does your brother like?"
"My brother likes calligraphy and painting, and Yi Huan likes being lifted up high by Prince Yu..."
Su Luo placed the broken-stringed zither on the stone table, unable to understand why Nangong Chiyu was acting this way.
When he was with Nangong Manyu, he was completely indifferent. Or did he just like children?
Watching the interaction between the two, she felt that her idea was right. When she got back, she would write to Manyu and tell her that she must have a child with Nangong Chiyu as soon as possible.
"Does Yi Huan like it this way? Is it high enough?"
Nangong Chiyu lifted Yihuan above his head with both hands, spinning her around, and the whole courtyard was filled with Yihuan's silvery laughter.
"So tall... Yi Huan likes it..."
Su Luo sat down. She had been to the Prince Yu's residence several times and was quite familiar with it. She brewed and poured the tea herself without any hesitation.
After a long while, Nangong Chiyu finally put Yi Huan down and let her sit next to Su Luo.
He took out a cage from behind him, inside which was an eagle.
“Yihuan, your mother always leaves you alone at home. I’m giving you this eagle so it can keep you company from now on.”
Su Luo put down her teacup. It was an eagle again. Nangong Chiyu was really persistent, even letting Yi Huan play with an eagle.
Fortunately, this time she was kept in a cage. If she had been released like last time, Su Luo would definitely have taken Yi Huan away.
"Nangong Chiyu, if you really like Yihuan, can't you give her gentle animals like kittens and puppies?"
"If you give her an eagle, what if it escapes and pecks Yihuan? That would be very dangerous."
Yi Huan rubbed Su Luo's sleeve. It was because she had said last time that she really liked this eagle that Prince Yu gave it to her.
"Mother, this is an eagle that Prince Yu trained himself. It won't peck Yi Huan, and it will obey Yi Huan's commands."
Su Luo had only read about people who could train animals in books. Usually, those with this ability were trained from a young age through family tradition.
"Huanhuan, do you want this eagle?"
Yi Huan nodded; she really liked it and wanted it.
Su Luo was still worried and asked Nangong Chiyu seriously.
"Did you really train this eagle?"
How dare this woman question him?
Nangong Chiyu put his fingertip to his lips and blew, producing a whistling sound.
Four or five eagles suddenly flew over the courtyard of Prince Yu's mansion.
He gently raised his left hand, his gaze deep and disdainful. The narrow-sleeved black robe with gold accents on his body perfectly showcased his physique, which was wider at the top and narrower at the bottom.
An eagle swooped down from the sky and landed on his arm. He had a hand, and the eagle flew away.
Do you believe it?
Su Luo stopped talking, but instructed Yi Huan, "Huanhuan, you can keep this eagle if you want, but it can only stay in a cage."
"Mmm! Thank you, Mother." She then happily fed the eagle.
There were no outsiders here, so Nangong Chiyu sat down as well. He suspected that he was Chen Huaixu, sitting here with Su Luo from the perspective of a husband. He felt very uncomfortable and tormented.
"Su...the Deputy Minister of Agriculture..."
Su Luo turned to look at him and saw that he was stammering, as if he didn't know how to address her.
“Prince Yu may call me Lady Su in private, but I shall be called Vice Minister of Agriculture in court.”
She doesn't really care what Su Luobi is called, just like she calls Nangong Chiyu.
When she is angry or in a hurry, she will call him by his name. Under normal circumstances, she will respectfully address him as Prince Yu.
"Lady Su, I want to talk to you about Yi Huan..."
Nangong Chiyu's current identity is unclear, so it's illogical for him to discuss someone else's daughter's affairs. However, for Yi Huan's sake, he still has to speak up.
"What is it?"
“I know you hired a tutor for Yihuan, but Yihuan is still young and needs someone her own age to take care of her.”
The Du household is full of old nannies. Should we buy her a personal maid? I'll pay for it.
Subconsciously, Nangong Chiyu believed that Su Luo was poor and unwilling to part with the money.
"No need. Huanhuan will have a personal maid when we get back."
An'an is still waiting for Yi Huan at home; they will go back.
“Your Highness, Yi Huan has a maid, An An, who is Yi Huan’s good friend. When we came to the capital this time, it was freezing cold and An An caught a cold, so we didn’t bring her with us.”
"If I were to find a new maid, she would be heartbroken."
Nangong Chiyu wanted to buy a maid for Yihuan, but she was unwilling. However, Nangong Chiyu felt sorry for her.
"From what you're saying, you're not planning to stay in the capital for long, and you're going back?"
“My mother and I will definitely go back. My brother and grandma are still waiting for us at home. Yihuan misses them too.”
Even after venturing out into the wilderness, Yi Huan still misses home, her brother, and her grandmother.
"When are you going back?"
Nangong Chiyu asked, he hadn't remembered his past yet, and didn't know if he was Chen Huaixu. If Su Luo left, he would have no more clues.
"After I finish dealing with the spring plowing matters with Da Si Nong, I will go back for a visit."
This is what Su Luo is supposed to do in her position. As long as she studies the crops in the fields well, the Grand Minister of Agriculture will take care of all the affairs of the court.
As for other minor matters related to planting, they corresponded with each other, or Su Luo could handle them back and forth.
"In that case, you will have to stay in the capital for another three months."
“Chi Yi!”
Nangong Chiyu called Chi Yi forward and said, "Go to Yongle County yourself and bring An'an to the capital."
"Yes, Your Majesty! I obey!"
