The old woman nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "I am a peasant woman, and those chores are what I am best at."
Princess Jin looked at the Crown Princess and said, "Chu Yue, I'll take this lady back with me."
"I think she's in good health, so she can do some work on the farm."
"Besides, the manor is spacious, so she won't feel constrained or uncomfortable."
The Crown Princess's brows relaxed instantly: "Aunt, that would be great!"
Upon seeing this, the old lady hurriedly kowtowed in gratitude, "Madam, thank you for your great kindness!"
"I cannot repay the kindness of the two ladies in this life, and I will repay them in the next life by working like a slave!"
For a moment, the people watching the excitement around were full of praise for the Crown Princess and Princess Jin.
That day, Princess Jin took the old woman away.
On the other side, Kunning Palace.
Xia Miaoyuan was a little disappointed that she was not allowed to leave the palace to play.
Neither she nor Xiao Wanyin wanted to take a nap, so they started playing hide-and-seek.
In the first round, Xiao Wanyin hid and Xia Miaoyuan looked for her.
"You are not allowed to peek. Just stand here and count to one hundred. You can start looking after you count to one hundred!" Xiao Wanyin repeatedly reminded him.
Xia Miaoyuan said in a baby voice, "I've got it. Go quickly!"
After saying that, he buried his little face in Little Orange's back and began to count.
People always say that big oranges are important. People in the world do not bully Xia Miaoyuan. Little orange can eat and sleep well, and now it has grown into a big fat cat weighing sixteen pounds.
Xia Miaoyuan couldn't even hold it anymore.
At this time, Little Orange was lying on the couch and snoring.
Xia Miaoyuan stuck out her little butt and buried her face in its broad body, but Little Orange ignored her and continued snoring.
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10..." Xia Miaoyuan counted loudly and patiently.
[I can't hear my cousin's footsteps anymore. Is she hiding?]
"51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58..."
"Are you hiding? I'm coming to find you!"
Xia Miaoyuan raised his head, but did not hear any response from Xiao Wanyin.
γIt seems to be hidden. γ
"99, 100! I'm here to find it!" Xia Miaoyuan deliberately shouted out the last two numbers.
She searched for Xiao Wanyin in every room of Kunning Palace. However, she searched the entire hall, the side rooms, and even the servants' rooms at the back, but still couldn't find her.
In the blink of an eye, two quarters of an hour had passed.
"Ah, a modern man like me who delivers books is actually not as good as a six-and-a-half-year-old girl. How shameful!" Xia Miaoyuan complained in his heart.
[Huh? Got it!] Xia Miaoyuan slapped his head and ran to the yard.
Maomao was lying on the lawn in the yard, basking in the warm sunshine and sleeping soundly.
Xia Miaoyuan asked the palace maid to pick a bunch of lilac flowers from the tree and put them in front of Maomao's nose. Maomao closed his eyes, but his nose was twitching.
After twisting its nose for a while, it opened its big round eyes, stood up, and yawned deeply.
"Maomao, smell this and go find your little cousin!" Xia Miaoyuan handed a handkerchief to Maomao's nose.
Maomao sniffed carefully for a while, then spread out his four long legs and began to stroll around the yard, stopping and starting, sniffing everywhere.
Finally, Maomao stopped at the pile of firewood outside the small kitchen, sniffed deeply for a while, and then stood still.
"Haha! I get it!" Xia Miaoyuan began to turn over the thatch pile.
Xiao Wanyin was indeed hiding inside.
"Yeah yeah yeah! I found my little cousin! I win!"
"Oh la la! Oh yeah yeah! I won!" Xia Miaoyuan jumped up excitedly.
Xiao Wanyin stood up and brushed off the dirt on her body. She glanced at Maomao and said angrily, "Ah! Okay, you're cheating! You asked Maomao to help you find it!"
Xia Miaoyuan stuck out his tongue shamelessly: "When it's your turn, you can also ask Maomao to help find it!"
"Your precious deer refuses to listen to me again!" Xiao Wanyin stomped her feet in anger.
It was Xiao Wanyin's turn to look for it. After Xia Miaoyuan repeatedly reminded her to count to one hundred, he quickly went to find a hiding place.
She looked in many places, but none of them seemed good enough.
γI can't let her find it so easily. γ
Xia Miaoyuan was thinking hard when he caught a glimpse of Yingxue and two maids looking for something in the small storeroom.
The small storeroom in Kunning Palace is specially used to store valuables. Jewelry, goldfish, jadeite, etc. given by guests during festivals, birthdays, etc. will be registered and stored in the storeroom.
[This place is great!] Xia Miaoyuan exclaimed in his heart, and while there was no one at the door, he slipped in and hid behind the door.
Soon, Yingxue and others found their things and left.
Yingxue locked the door of the small warehouse with a click.
[Haha! Great! I can really enjoy my babies at home here!]
Xia Miaoyuan looked at the rows of mahogany shelves and the large cabinets filled with brocade boxes and wooden boxes, and felt ecstatic.
The treasures in the small storeroom were much more spectacular than the small safe in her bedroom.
She opened the brocade boxes and wooden boxes one by one, took out the pearls, jade, agate, etc. inside, and played with them to her heart's content.
Before he knew it, a long time had passed, but still no one came to look for Xia Miaoyuan.
Xia Miaoyuan would hang any nice bead necklaces around her neck to show off. Gradually, she had a lot of bead necklaces hanging around her neck.
She was tired of watching and playing, so she simply found a box for silk and nestled inside to rest.
Nestled in the silky satin, although a little hard, it feels slippery and still very comfortable.
Gradually, Xia Miaoyuan felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier. He could no longer hold on and fell asleep.
In a trance, Xia Miaoyuan only felt that he had walked into an illusory space.
The surroundings were empty and chaotic, as if filled with clouds and mist. It was impossible to tell whether it was night or day, and even more impossible to tell where it was.
"Father! Mother! Crown Prince! Second brother! Little cousin!" In the dream, Xia Miaoyuan was a little panicked, and she called out loudly to the people closest to her.
"Is anyone there?"
"Maomao! Little Orange!"
"Where have you all been?!"
Xia Miaoyuan stumbled and explored this strange space, but saw nothing useful.
Now, Xia Miaoyuan was completely panicked and she wanted to burst into tears.
At this moment, a deep and somewhat ethereal voice sounded in Xia Miaoyuan's ears.
"Xia Miaoyuan! Xia Miaoyuan! Princess Anguo!"
Xia Miaoyuan froze in shock: "Who!"
At this time, the clouds and mist around seemed to gradually fade away, and Xia Miaoyuan felt that the scene in front of him became clearer.
In front of me is a man of huge stature.
