The news that Prince Ning accompanied Princess Ning back to her hometown to visit relatives spread throughout the city of Haozhou.
The lights in Duke Chen Ao's mansion were still bright at night.
There was an endless stream of fellow villagers and relatives coming to congratulate him in the front hall and back yard.
The men all went to the front hall to pay their respects to Prince Ning, and the women all went to Shouning Hall to pay their respects to Princess Ning.
The room was packed with guests and friends, and the atmosphere was lively and bustling.
Duke Chen Ao even announced publicly that the Duke's Mansion would hold a three-day banquet to welcome Prince Ning and Princess Ning.
Shen Ao has always been cautious and steady, and his high-profile behavior shows how much Shen Ao loves Shen Yuyao.
The mansion was filled with noise and it didn't quiet down until midnight.
The next morning, Zi Su came to Shen Yuyao's boudoir.
"Miss, Madam asked you to take the little princess to the front yard. The cousin wants to take the little princess to have a good look at Haozhou City."
Shen Yuyao was washing Xia Xiaoxian's hands. Since Xia Xiaoxian was born, Shen Yuyao had done almost everything she could by herself.
Children raised by oneself will always be much closer to the parents.
Xia Xiaoxian also loves to stick to Shen Yuyao. Now she can walk around by herself, but after not seeing Shen Yuyao for a while, she will start looking for her everywhere.
"The little princess's hands are so beautiful that anyone who looks at them would want to take a bite." Zi Su also came forward to help wash them.
"Auntie, here you go!" Xia Xiaoxian was not stingy and handed her chubby, white and tender little hand to Zisu.
This made Zi Su and Shen Yuyao couldn't help laughing.
"My little fairy, mother will take you out to play!" Shen Yuyao hugged Xia Xiaoxian and kissed her hard, then stood up, took her hand and walked towards the front yard.
"Miss, please slow down." Zi Su followed with a smile.
【Shouldn't you go slower?】
[For every one step my mother takes, my short legs need to take three.]
【Suddenly I want to grow up.】
Three poles in the sun.
When Shen Yuyao brought Xia Xiaoxian and Zi Su to the front yard, it was full of guests again.
The clan members and villagers who did not have time to congratulate the Duke yesterday were waiting in front of the Duke's Mansion early this morning.
Shen Ao and Madam Shen were receiving guests in the front yard, while Lin and Liang Ruolan were busy in the Lily Hall in the backyard. Third sister-in-law Yang had just returned from Jingrentang, but she didn't see fourth sister-in-law An Zhiran.
I guess I've been working late for too long and haven't been able to get up yet.
Zi Su just stopped the maids in the courtyard from talking about how lively the Begonia Garden was last night, comparable to the coming and going of people in the front yard.
Shen Yuyao listened to Zi Su's talk and shook her head repeatedly. Is this all An Zhiran can do? Shen Yuyao was a little confused.
As the master and servant walked into the front yard, they happened to meet Zhang Yu, who came to pick up the little princess.
"Greetings, cousin."
The young man was in the clear breeze and bright moon, and Shen Yuyao was quite happy to see him.
"Greetings, little princess." Zhang Yu squatted down. "Little princess, second uncle will take you to Haozhou City for fun, okay?"
Zhang Yu looked at Xia Xiaoxian with eyes full of love.
Yes, she is so fair and chubby, anyone would like her.
Zhang Yu was the second child in Zhang's family and was born out of wedlock. When his parents were alive, he could barely make ends meet in the Zhang family.
Now that his parents are gone, they all say privately that this child has a tough life, so no one treats him well anymore.
It was only after Madam Shen heard about it that she felt sorry for him and took him to the Duke's Mansion to be raised.
Everyone in the Duke's Mansion treated this cousin very well. In his heart, Zhang Yu regarded the Duke's Mansion as his own home, and treated Shen Yuyao and Xia Xiaoxian in front of him as his closest relatives.
"Love uncle, good."
Xia Xiaoxian's pronunciation of the two words wasn't quite genuine enough, and it sounded like love.
"Then I'll trouble you, cousin."
Shen Yuyao still had to go to the front hall to meet many relatives from the countryside, so she could only watch them being released.
"Zi Su, you should just follow me. I'll take you out."
"As you command."
Zi Su smiled very happily. After being sent to the Duke's Mansion by human traffickers, she had never seen Haozhou City again and wondered what it looked like now.
Last night, Zi Su heard Dingxiang, the maid in the mansion, say that Haozhou City has changed a lot now, and is as prosperous as the capital.
Dingxiang was sold to the Duke's Mansion together with her, and returned to Haozhou City with the Duke two years ago.
Several people came to the gate of the Duke's Mansion. A small and exquisite carriage made of golden nanmu and painted red was parked outside the gate, and there was a tall black warhorse next to it.
When Shen Yuyao looked up and saw the horse, she was shocked.
She had never seen such a powerful warhorse.
The horse's mane was as thick as ink, and it seemed as if the sunlight was rolling over its body, making people want to touch it.
The horse is extremely strong, with muscle lines that look like they were cut by a knife or an axe. It has pointed ears and a sharp look in its eyes. It is truly a rare BMW.
Shen Yuyao couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Whose horse is this?"
"Reporting to the princess, my cousin bought it this morning."
The coachman looked up and saw that it was Princess Ning who was asking about the horse, so he quickly replied.
Zhang Yu had long been at the mule and horse market and had set his eyes on this warhorse, but unfortunately he never had enough money to buy it.
I received the reward from Shen Yuyao yesterday, and now I have enough money to pay for the horses.
Early in the morning before dawn, Zhang Yu rushed to the mule and horse market and finally bought the horse.
I just tried running it on the official road, and it is indeed a good horse.
"I bought this horse with the red envelope money from my cousin yesterday." Zhang Yu grinned, revealing a row of white teeth.
"That's right! It really is a perfect match for a hero!" Shen Yuyao nodded with a smile.
The young man took the silver and money, but didn't think about using it for eating and drinking. Instead, he used it to plan for his future. Shen Yuyao also had a better impression of Zhang Yu.
"Mother, Xiaoxian wants to ride..."
Xia Xiaoxian fell in love with the horse as soon as she saw it.
She pulled Shen Yuyao hard with one hand and grabbed the horse with the other.
Xia Xiaoxian didn't even think about it. She had just reached the height of the horse's belly. How could she ride it?
Shen Yuyao smiled and shook her head, then squatted down and wanted to pick up Xia Xiaoxian and put her on the carriage next to her. Unexpectedly, Xia Xiaoxian burst into tears.
"Horse a horse, Xiaoxian wants to ride a horse!"
The crying was so sad that it made those who listened to it feel sad and those who heard it cry.
Shen Yuyao had never seen Xia Xiaoxian throw a tantrum like this before, and she didn't know what to do with this beloved Xia Xiaoxian.
"Be good, little fairy. Uncle Er will take you for a ride, okay?"
Zhang Yu also squatted down, hugged Xia Xiaoxian, patted her back with both hands, and comforted her: "Second Uncle will take you to see Haozhou on horseback!"
Strangely enough, Xia Xiaoxian stopped crying immediately after hearing this, and looked at Zhang Yu with twinkling eyes, with tears hanging on her long and fine eyelashes.
"Okay!" Xia Xiaoxian smiled again.
He changes his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book.
Zhang Yu cast an inquiring look at Shen Yuyao, who nodded slightly.
Zhang Yu immediately jumped on his horse and asked the groom to bring Xia Xiaoxian to him. He then wrapped Xia Xiaoxian into a bundle with a piece of brocade and tied it to his chest.
Xia Xiaoxian was so happy that she just clapped her hands.
"Great! Uncle Ai, great!"
