Xia Zhiliao hurriedly explained, but her tone didn't seem so firm, "When did we become as close as one person? Princess, did you see it wrong?"
Princess Yiyang curled her lips, "I'm not mistaken, I've seen it clearly these past few days."
Wen Heng smiled without saying anything, looking very generous, "She is just acting like a child."
"Who said that?"
Princess Yi Yang and Aunt Cui on the side just laughed, treating it as if they were just children playing around.
Princess Yi Yang's expression also softened a lot when she looked at Wen Heng.
Others think she is crazy and stupid, but the more she is like this, the more she can see people's true heart.
Nanny Cui watched Princess Yi Yang laugh and laughed too.
"What's wrong with Zhiliao girl? Since you're not having a quarrel with your brother Wen Heng, are you homesick?"
Princess Yiyang sighed and looked at the little girl with some self-blame, "I asked a little kid like you to come to this desolate mountain to accompany me. Are you homesick?"
Xia Zhi shook his head, "No, no, that's not the case."
Princess Yiyang coaxed softly, "What's that? Is it boring here?"
"Kid, just tell me if you have anything to say. I'll ask them to get it for you. Or how about asking Wen Heng to take you downstairs for a walk?"
Nanny Cui pursed her lips. The princess was really kind to the little girl and compromised with her again and again.
You know, although she loves the little princess, she also has very high expectations for her. It is impossible for the little princess to do whatever she wants.
But to Miss Zhiliao, he was completely obedient.
"What's wrong with you, child? Where do you feel uncomfortable? Tell me quickly, I'm so worried!" Princess Yi Yang asked anxiously.
Xia Zhiliao hadn't expected that she would be so anxious, and was afraid that she would get sick if she continued like this. "Don't worry, I'm not unhappy, it's just Brother Wen Heng who said that."
Xia Zhiliao glared at Wen Heng.
[A nasty guy, a troublemaker. ]
"Princess, I'm really not unhappy. Look, I'm making you happy."
Xia Zhiliao showed his little baby teeth and quickly smiled, and it was a very exaggerated smile.
Wen Heng couldn't help but say, "It's a bit ugly, and a bit fake."
Princess Yiyang disagreed, "How can she be ugly? Zhiliao is the prettiest girl and she suits my taste."
Aunt Cui was a little excited and said tentatively: "I think Miss Zhiliao looks a bit like you."
"Let me see..." Princess Yiyang looked at her carefully, "That proves that this child and I are destined to be together."
Aunt Cui smiled but didn't dare to continue talking about that aspect. "Yes, with Miss Zhiliao here, Princess, you smile more."
"I can't help it. This child is so happy. Zhiliao, when you return to your parents in the future, you must come to Beijing often."
Aunt Cui smiled and said, "Princess, with His Highness here, are you still worried that you won't be able to see Miss Zhiliao again in the future?"
Princess Yiyang nodded. That was true. "I plan to return to Beijing early."
Xia Zhiliao looked over in surprise, "Why... why?"
Princess Yiyang smiled and said, "You are such a lovely child, your mother must be reluctant to part with you, how can I monopolize you? Besides, it is fine for us to live in the mountains at our age, but you are so young, you should like the hustle and bustle. When we return to Beijing, you can still go to the Princess's Mansion to accompany me."
Xia Zhiliao looked at Wen Heng excitedly, this was such a surprise.
But she had indeed had enough of plain porridge and wild vegetables.
It seems that Yunhuafeng's words are indeed effective. She silently said to the south three times yesterday that she wanted to eat meat, and it worked this morning.
Wen Heng listened to her mumbling but didn't say anything. If he hadn't said that intentionally or unintentionally, such a good thing would never have happened.
It would be better for her to pray to herself than to Buddha.
It was dark, and Nanny Cui helped Princess Yi Yang back to her room to rest.
"Princess, have you really decided to go back so early? Isn't it the same every year..."
Every year on the anniversary of the father and daughter’s death, Princess Yi Yang would return to the princess’ mansion to stay for a few days, and then return to the mountain.
Nanny Cui was naturally happy, as the princess's health could be properly taken care of in the princess's mansion.
No matter how the empress dowager persuaded her before, the princess refused. This time, the empress dowager didn't need to tell her and she went back early. So she would have to stay in the capital for a long time until the general and the princess's death anniversary.
"If Wen Heng hadn't mentioned it, I might not have thought of it. Even if I had thought of it, I would have secretly wanted to stay with the child in the mountains for a few more days to enjoy the happiness of family. I was being selfish. As a mother, who would be willing to give up such a good child?"
"Princess, don't say that. I'm sure Madam Xia is also a considerate person. She will definitely be very happy to know that you like Miss Zhiliao."
"Go back. You can see Zhi when you go back, right?"
"Of course. You've been so nice to her, she must want to see you, too." Nanny Cui was overjoyed.
"Pack up tomorrow and we'll set off the day after tomorrow."
Aunt Cui smiled and nodded, "Yes!"
Xia Zhiliao left Yunhua Peak much earlier than she had expected. It was not that she didn't miss home. She had originally planned to wait until Princess Yi Yang's condition stabilized before going back.
But it’s better this way, as she is also worried about the situation with her parents.
The letter sent by Princess Yi Yang arrived at the palace two days earlier than them. The Queen Mother was very excited when she saw it.
"Wen Heng and Zhi Liao are quite capable. Your aunt has been here for so many years, and even I couldn't persuade her to do anything. She actually invited the two children back."
Emperor Shunde curled his lips, "Maybe Aunt thinks they are too noisy?"
"You!" The Queen Mother glared at Emperor Shunde. "With your aunt's temper, she would have driven them back long ago if she didn't like them. I was thinking that if Zhiliao really cured your aunt this time, I would let Zhiliao be your aunt's granddaughter."
Emperor Shunde frowned, "Why didn't my mother discuss this with me?"
"Is this a big deal?" the Empress Dowager asked, "I can't even make a decision on this?"
"Mother, that's not what I meant."
"Emperor, you know how much your aunt has suffered over the years. She is the one who should not be forgotten for us to be where we are today."
"Mother, what I mean is, why that child? If you want to give your aunt a companion, you can choose one from the royal family..."
"Your aunt doesn't like those," said the Queen Mother.
"Actually, mother, isn't it enough for you to protect her alone? You dragged aunt into this too. Are you really afraid that someone will bully her?"
Emperor Shunde smiled bitterly, the child from the Xia family was really lucky.
"You're right. I have to protect this child. Just wait and see. My opinion is also your aunt's opinion. If you don't believe me, let's wait and see."
The Empress Dowager knew Princess Yi Yang very well. After all, they had been sisters-in-law for so many years, and no one knew Princess Yi Yang's thoughts better than her.
No one understands how cute the child Xia Zhiliao is.
