Chu Ruoyan nodded slightly.
"Before the palace banquet, we went to Kunning Palace to pay our respects to Her Majesty. When Her Majesty mentioned Your Highness, she said that she had let go of everything and advised Xue'er to move on and get out more often."
Nangong Honglie seemed to be thinking: "On the night of the New Year's Eve, we also tried to persuade Xue'er, but she didn't want to talk more."
Chu Ruoyan smiled and said, "No one knows a daughter better than her mother. As a mother, I understand Xue'er's thoughts to some extent.
She feels she is unworthy of His Highness and doesn't want to delay His Highness. In my opinion, His Highness is sincere."
"Madam, let's not interfere too much in this matter. It's better to let them solve it themselves.
It’s normal for Xue’er to have concerns. After all, His Highness is a rare talent…”
Chu Ruoyan nodded in agreement.
On the other side, Liu Hao held Nangong Jiu in his arms and talked to her all the way.
“Jiu’er, look, after crossing this street and turning another corner, you will arrive at Uncle Hao’s Prince’s Mansion.
Once you know the route well, you can ask Xiao Wang to take you to the mansion to play anytime."
[Well, Xiao Wang is really good at finding his way.]
Xiao Wang was lying on the carriage, sticking his head out from the curtain. He moved his ears and continued to watch the excitement outside.
Prince's Mansion.
The carriage went straight into the mansion before stopping.
A young eunuch brought the horse pedals, and Liu Hao got off the carriage first, holding Nangong Jiu. He then turned around and extended a hand to support Nangong Yunxue.
A white-haired eunuch came forward with several young eunuchs and said, "This old servant greets Madam Xue and Princess Dingguo!"
Liu Hao smiled and introduced him to the mother and daughter, "He is an old man by my mother's side. After I built the palace, my mother gave him to me.
I call him Xibo, and you can call him that too."
Nangong Yunxue squatted slightly: "Hello, Uncle Xi!"
"Madam Xue, you are so annoying! His Highness has always been thinking about you and the princess, and today he finally saw you coming."
Liu Hao said to Eunuch Xi, "Uncle Xi, Xue'er and the others are our family. Just go and do your own thing. There's no need to be so formal."
Eunuch Xi happily agreed, brushed Nangong Yunxue behind him, and left happily, leaving two young eunuchs guarding from a distance, waiting for orders.
Liu Hao held Nangong Jiu in his arms and walked slowly with Nangong Yunxue while introducing the layout of the prince's mansion.
“This is the garden, and there’s a lake behind the main courtyard, which has a nice view in the summer.
Let’s start by looking at the front yard, then the main courtyard and then the lake.”
Nangong Jiudong looked around, his eyes full of curiosity.
Uncle Hao, the houses in your mansion are all very grand.
"Do you like it?"
【like! 】
Liu Hao took Nangong Yunxue and her daughter to look at the layout of the front yard and then went directly to the main courtyard.
"I had someone renovate this place before the New Year. The one over there is a study, the two next to it are guest rooms, and I plan to use this one as a bedroom."
Nangong Yunxue was a little curious: "There are guest rooms in the main courtyard?"
"It's more like a wing room prepared for children than a guest room. For example, if a child is too young to live in a separate courtyard, they can stay in the guest room and be taken care of more easily."
Liu Hao explained with a smile, "There's a small kitchen in the back. If you don't want to eat in the main kitchen, you can make your own food. It's very convenient."
After visiting each room one by one, Liu Hao took the mother and daughter out of the main courtyard, walked all the way to the lake in the back garden, and walked along the corridor to the pavilion in the lake.
At some point, one of the two young eunuchs came forward with a thick cloak in his hand.
Liu Hao smiled and looked at Nangong Yunxue: "Although the scenery here is beautiful, it's a bit cold on the lake due to the strong wind this season. Put on your cloak or you might catch a cold."
After he finished speaking, a young eunuch holding a black cloak came forward and put the cloak on him. He wrapped it up Nangong Jiu tightly, leaving only his little face exposed.
After thanking him, Nangong Yunxue took the red cloak from the young eunuch and put it on.
"Here, in the summer, there are lotus flowers in the lake and weeping willows by the lake. If you're interested, you can go boating and fishing in the lake."
"Brother Hao, your mansion looks quite new. It shouldn't have been built for many years, right?"
"It was built only six years ago, and I didn't live there for half a year before something broke. It's been empty for the past five years, and Uncle Xi has been taking care of it."
After staying in the pavilion for a while, the two walked around the lake before returning to the main courtyard.
Liu Hao considerately took Nangong Yunxue and her daughter to the greenhouse that had been prepared in advance.
"You guys take a rest here for a while, I'll come back later."
After Nangong Jiu had taken care of his poop and urination and eaten and drunk his fill, he started waving his arms and kicking his legs, clamoring to be carried on Xiao Wang's back to go out and play.
Nangong Yunxue had no choice but to hand her over to Xiao Wang, who carried Nangong Jiu on his back and trotted out of the greenhouse.
He had not walked far when he ran into Liu Hao.
Nangong Jiu reached out to hug him, but as soon as Liu Hao held the little guy in his arms, Nangong Jiu started waving his arms and yelling.
"Uncle Hao, now's your chance. You should take the initiative to explain to your mother that she thinks you should find a woman who is better than her."
Nangong Jiu directly betrayed his own mother.
Liu Hao nodded vigorously: "Jiu'er, Uncle Hao will always be good to you and your daughter!"
[Alas, it's no use saying this to me. You should go tell Mom, be brave and fight for it. Jiuer will cheer you on!]
After talking a lot, Nangong Jiu ordered Xiao Wang to carry him to the yard.
"Xiao Wang, be careful, don't drop Jiuer!" Liu Hao shouted to the man and the dog who were running away.
Then he walked towards the greenhouse.
In the greenhouse, Nangong Yunxue was casually reading a storybook.
"Xue'er!"
