When Xiao Licheng heard the queen say this, he was overjoyed.
"Sister, when you say that, I suddenly feel that I was indeed reckless. After all, he was a stranger I met outside and I didn't know his background well."
As Xiao Licheng spoke, he stood up and looked around at the door. He felt relieved when he saw that Zhang Xiaoya was not there.
Jiang Yuru raised her eyebrows, revealing a look of surprise: "Master, that's not what you said when you brought them to the mansion. You said Zhang Dashan was so badly injured, you couldn't be lying."
Xiao Licheng was a little embarrassed: "Oh, that was at the time. I didn't think too much about it in the heat of the moment. Now that my sister reminded me, I feel that this matter is not appropriate."
"Uncle Three, you really are my sister's treasure. Why do you listen to me so much?"
The Queen almost laughed when she heard her daughter's inner voice. She quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief, pretending to clear her throat, and said, "Ruru, the ceremony is complete. You don't know. Even though Liang State has been destroyed, there is still a stubborn force that remains, operating in secret."
"They have special spies gathering intelligence and have even trained special spies to be placed around high-ranking officials in the imperial court. We have to be on guard."
[Wow, it seems I underestimated Dad and Mom. They actually noticed the activities of the Prince of Liang a long time ago.]
Xia Miaoyuan pretended to fiddle with the gold bracelet on her hand and listened carefully to the adults' conversation.
Xiao Licheng and his wife were shocked when they heard the queen's words.
"I have heard that when Emperor Taizu destroyed the Liang Kingdom, Liang had an army of 2,000 people who swore to fight to the death and refused to surrender. Later, they fled to the border."
"I didn't expect that after so many years, they are still so active and even stronger." Xiao Licheng clenched his fists, as if he was worried about the remaining forces of Liang State.
"It seems that we, as officials of Daxia, really need to be extremely cautious on a daily basis."
"If their spies were to take advantage of the situation, the consequences would be disastrous..." Xiao Licheng's tone sounded somewhat difficult when he said this.
The room fell silent.
The Second Prince's eyes turned and he said, "Uncle, Aunt, as the saying goes, one should not have the intention to harm others, but one must always be on guard against them. To be on the safe side, how about we test this brother and sister?"
"This... this might not be a good idea, right?" Jiang Yuru looked embarrassed.
"You didn't see it, Zhang Dashan's injury had just healed, and he took the initiative to do odd jobs, working hard without complaint; Zhang Xiaoya served me personally, not afraid of getting dirty or tired, and was even more capable than the maid in my room."
"Now the Patriarch and I have become very familiar with the siblings. If we suddenly test them now, they will be disappointed."
Xiao Licheng's wife, Jiang Yuru, was the daughter of Mr. Jiang, the director of the Imperial College.
The Jiang family has been a family of upright people for generations. Mr. Jiang is a decent man, a little pedantic, and not very worldly-wise.
Jiang Yuru, the daughter raised in such a family, became a simple and innocent girl.
The second prince understood that his third aunt had fallen into her naive and naive habit again.
"Don't worry, Aunt. We just need to keep this secret so they don't find out and try to find out."
"That would be great." Jiang Yuru said, and couldn't help yawning.
The medicine she drank contained a sedative ingredient, and now the effect of the medicine was taking effect, and she was yawning non-stop.
"Ruru, go to sleep. It's hard for you to talk to us for such a long time." The queen said with concern.
Several people tiptoed out of the bedroom, and Xiao Licheng gently closed the door.
"Madame Sun! Madame Sun!"
A childish voice was heard, and then a little ball ran over and bumped into the queen.
"Oh, I didn't mean to." The little ball on the ground took two steps back, looked up at the queen, and blinked his big round eyes.
"Wan'er, you really are such a fool." Xiao Licheng pulled the little girl over and scolded her.
"You're so reckless even though there are guests here."
"Is this Wan'er?" the queen asked with a smile.
"Yes, Wan'er." Xiao Licheng showed a smile that he couldn't hide.
"Wan'er, come and meet the Queen. This is your second aunt who lives in the palace. Do you still remember her?" Xiao Licheng pulled the little girl in front of the Queen and motioned her to salute.
The little girl raised her head and looked at the queen seriously for a few times. She said in a baby voice, "Are you my aunt the queen? I have seen you before, but I forgot. You are so beautiful, and your clothes are so pretty too."
[Oh, this must be my cute little cousin, Xiao Wanyin. She's so fair and tender, so cute!]
Xia Miaoyuan was held in the Queen's arms, looking down at Xiao Wanyin.
Xiao Wanyin was stunned for a moment, then stared at Xia Miaoyuan for a few seconds.
"Who are you? You are so cute." Xiao Wanyin stood on tiptoe and held Xia Miaoyuan's little hand.
Just now, Xiao Wanyin discovered that she could actually hear the child in her aunt's arms praising her.
She was a little surprised. Although she was only three years old, she had never seen such a young child speak.
Mr. Zhang's grandson Hu Zi, who lives next door, is ten months old and still can't speak.
The one in my aunt's arms is obviously smaller than Hu Zi.
The queen was shocked. Could it be that Wanyin could also hear her daughter's thoughts?
Can only people who are related by blood hear it?
"This is my aunt's daughter, Xia Miaoyuan, your cousin. She calls you sister. She's still too young to talk. When she grows up, you two can play together. Then you can go to the main hall to study together, okay?"
In order to stop Xiao Wanyin from speaking further, the Queen spoke a series of words in rapid succession.
"Great, great! Wan'er is a sister now, that's great. I will protect her in the future." Xiao Wanyin jumped up happily.
"Wan'er, you haven't called me yet. I am your second cousin." The second prince squatted down and pulled Xiao Wanyin over.
"Second brother, why are you so dark?" Xiao Wanyin stretched out her little hand in confusion and touched the second prince's cheek.
The Second Prince's face flushed crimson. Being publicly called dark by a three-year-old kid was truly humiliating.
The Second Prince: This is healthy and good, don’t talk nonsense if you don’t understand.
[Hahaha, second brother, you are obviously very dark! ]
Xia Miaoyuan clapped her hands in glee.
"Look, sister, do you also think he is dark?" Xiao Wanyin looked at Xia Miaoyuan expectantly.
"Wan'er, you just called Nanny Sun, do you have something to talk to her about?" Xiao Licheng hurriedly changed the subject.
"Yes, something happened. It's urgent." Xiao Wanyin's expression suddenly became serious.
"I want to drink her milk."
ah……
Xiao Licheng regretted it so much. Why did he ask that question so rudely?
Except for Xia Miaoyuan, everyone else had a dark look on their faces.
