Ever since Tian An agreed to take Yaoyao as his apprentice, the little girl was so happy that she insisted on holding a formal apprenticeship ceremony.
Tian An didn't want to go through so much trouble, "It's enough for us to know it ourselves, there's no need for all those empty formalities."
"How can this be considered an empty ceremony? Sister An An, I am your first disciple, how can I miss the apprenticeship ceremony?
Originally, my father and mother were supposed to be present when I became my apprentice. But because of their special status, they couldn't come. Yaoyao already felt very sorry for Sister An An and felt very guilty. She couldn't save the apprenticeship gift no matter what.
Yaoyao knew that Tian An was just afraid of trouble, so she pointed at the few palace maids who had followed and said, "Don't worry, Sister An An, I have prepared all the things for the apprenticeship gift. They will arrange it. You don't have to do anything. Just wait to drink the apprenticeship tea offered by your disciple."
Seeing that the little girl was so excited, Tian An could only let her do what she wanted.
Yaoyao wanted to live in the mansion permanently, so Tian An arranged for her to live in the courtyard next to his own.
Being closer to me makes it easier for me to teach her and take care of her.
Now that she had her own yard, Yaoyao began to direct the palace servants to move things and clean up the yard.
Only then did Tian An realize that the little girl had brought five carriages full of things with her when she left the palace this time.
Not to mention personal items like spare clothes, jewelry, and bedding, there are even large items such as decorative ornaments, screens, dressing tables, and stools.
I couldn't help but sigh: "You must have moved all the things in your bedroom here!"
Yaoyao looked at the palace maids working hard to move things, rubbing the back of her head sheepishly and said, "These are all packed by my mother. She said she was worried that I wouldn't be used to using things outside. I didn't think it was necessary, but my mother insisted, so I had no choice but to bring them all out."
After that, he pulled Tian An to a carriage and said, "This carriage is full of gifts I brought for everyone. I'll have to trouble Sister An An to send someone to deliver them to everyone."
"Thank you for your trouble. From now on, you should treat the mansion as your own home. If you need anything, just tell people to do it." He called Chunxi and Yaoyao's personal maids to take over and get to know each other.
Tian An took Yaoyao for a stroll around the mansion to familiarize herself with the environment.
Only when Xiangtao came to urge them to go to the flower hall for dinner did the two of them hurried away.
In the flower hall, Xiaokang and Xiaoqi were already sitting at the dining table waiting for Tian An.
The two of them didn't know that Yaoyao was coming. When they saw Tian An coming with a girl, they didn't even dare to see her face clearly, so they hurriedly lowered their heads and got down from their chairs to greet her.
Yaoyao also loves to play. She waited for the two to finish their greetings with a smile before she teased, "Brother Xiaokang, Brother Xiaoqi, how are you? You're so polite, don't you remember me?"
Hearing this, the two were stunned, then subconsciously raised their heads, took a look, and quickly lowered their heads again.
"I wonder who the girl is?"
Seeing that the two hadn't recognized her, Yaoyao pouted, looking unhappy. "Hmph! Figure it out yourselves. If you can't remember, I'll ignore you from now on."
Hearing this arrogant and fierce voice, Xiaokang suddenly looked up in disbelief and asked, "You are? Yaoyao?"
Seeing that Xiaokang finally recognized her, Yaoyao's face was immediately full of smiles, "Brother Xiaokang is really good. He recognized me so quickly."
Then he pretended to be angry and snorted at Xiaoqi, "I brought a lot of delicious food to see you, but I didn't expect Brother Xiaoqi to forget me so quickly."
Seeing that she was angry, Xiao Qi hurriedly explained, "I didn't forget, I didn't forget, I just felt that you looked familiar, it's just that, I didn't expect you to come, so, so I didn't think about you."
When they met, they were still young and knew nothing. He and Xiaokang only found out later that Yaoyao was a princess, and princesses were not allowed to leave the palace at will.
I just saw it suddenly and didn't dare to think about it that way.
Although the three of them hadn't seen each other for several years, they had been exchanging letters. Except for the first time they met, they didn't feel unfamiliar with each other and started chatting after a few simple greetings.
Tian An's sister couldn't even get a word in. She just sat there like an ornament, and was actually quite an eyesore.
The three of them chatted and laughed over lunch for more than an hour.
Only after the three of them finally calmed down did Tian An drive his two younger brothers away.
After sending Yaoyao back to the yard and letting her rest for a while, Tian An went to the residence of his two younger brothers to give them a beating.
"Today is the first time you've met in several years. It's natural to be happy and excited, so I won't say much about you.
But you must always remember that Yaoyao is a royal princess, and the royal family values rules. From now on, no matter in public or in private, your words and actions must abide by the rules.
Also, you are all grown up now, so you can no longer treat each other like you did when you were little.
"Sister, do you understand what I'm saying?"
Tian An didn't want to say it too directly, for fear of hurting his two younger brothers' feelings, but he was also afraid that if he said it too implicitly, they wouldn't understand.
Alas! She was not good at speaking, so she was really embarrassed.
Fortunately, Xiaokang pondered for a moment after hearing this, then politely bowed to her and said, "Sister, I understand what you said. I overstepped my bounds today. I will remind myself to be more careful in the future."
Xiaoqi finally understood, "Sister, I understand now. I won't do it again."
Alas! Tian An sighed, feeling rather helpless. It was a good thing for childhood friends to meet again, but as the children grew up, troubles also came with them. They could no longer be as innocent as they once were.
Suddenly I miss Zhao Yiming a little. If he were here, he would definitely be able to give his two younger brothers some good advice.
"Well! Besides these, I also hope that you can respect Yaoyao's status as a royal princess, but also not look down on yourself because of it."
Hearing this, Xiaokang nodded and concluded, "We should have a sense of awe, but we should not belittle ourselves."
Tian An nodded, "That's probably what it means."
Although she, as a modern person, advocates equality for all, living in such a feudal era where imperial power is supreme, she can only follow local customs in many things...
Because of Yaoyao's arrival, Tian An sent someone to Taohua Mountain to call Tian Mingwu back in advance.
Tian Mingwu accepted Yaoyao's arrival well and took good care of the little girl. He asked her if she was used to it and if the room was cold. He was so attentive that people who didn't know her would think she was his own daughter.
Tian An only thought that her father was fond of girls, and felt sorry for Yaoyao who had to leave her parents at such a young age to study medicine. However, she didn't know that what Tian Mingwu was thinking at this time was:
The emperor actually sent his own daughter to his house. If he helped to take good care of her, then when he asked the emperor to borrow some things for his daughter's dowry in the future, the emperor should not refuse!
Well! I am so poor, and I am helping him take care of his daughter. He must be embarrassed to refuse.
The emperor, who ran to the queen's bedroom to seek comfort because he missed his daughter, suddenly sneezed. He happily boasted to the queen that his daughter missed him, but he didn't know that someone was starting to covet his treasure house again.
