Although being able to eat is a blessing, overeating and damaging your stomach is not good. Aunt Hong said tactfully, "Young Master, you just woke up, and it would be hard to digest if you eat too much. Can I make you dessert later?"
Hearing that there was dessert, An Ci suddenly felt that white rice was not tasty anymore and decisively put down the bowl, "Okay."
It was this good-looking look of hers that softened Aunt Hong's heart, and she almost wanted to move the rice cooker directly to her.
Fortunately, reason finally got her back.
She put the dishes aside and waited for the servants to pick them up. She looked down at An Ci and asked softly, "Young Master, why don't we go for a walk outside?"
Compared to her elder sister, the young master is more quiet. Whether in the imperial capital or in Continent M, she rarely goes out. Instead, she likes to stay alone in her room and play with toys.
Such a young child is at the age of being lively and playful. If he stays in the room every day, he will get sick even if he is not sick, just like the high fever he had this time.
"OK."
"Walking helps digestion, and..." She agreed so quickly that Aunt Hong was a little confused.
In the past, no matter how much she persuaded, the young master would refuse to go out. Aunt Hong was prepared to be rejected by her, but she actually agreed so readily.
An Ci was thinking that she might have to skip classes in the future, so before that she had to figure out the route here.
Aunt Hong came back to her senses and said, "Wait, I'll get you some clothes." She turned and walked into the cloakroom.
Taking advantage of this break, An Ci slipped into the bathroom not far away, moved a small stool and stood on it.
Although she is not obsessed with looks, she still has to know what she looks like in this life.
Looking at the little baby in the mirror, she has fair skin, long eyelashes, a pair of bright and clear peach blossom eyes, and when she smiles, the corners of her eyes slightly turn up, making her look harmless.
Even better than her previous life.
Not bad, not bad.
An Ci jumped off the stool contentedly and walked out of the bathroom humming a tuneless tune.
The wind at the end of May brings a hint of coolness.
When they came out, Aunt Hong put a coat on An Ci, fearing that she would catch a cold.
An Ci's legs were short, and after walking for a while, they gradually became sore. She felt that she had seen the world. In her memory, the Medicine King Valley was quite big, but compared to this manor, it was really not worth mentioning.
She stopped and looked at the endless manor, confirming a fact once again—
Her grandfather is really...super rich.
The little figure in front stopped, and Aunt Hong asked with concern, "Young Master, are you tired? How about I carry you away?"
An Ci turned his head, glanced at her slender arms, and shook his head, "It's okay, I'm not tired."
My legs are just sore.
She felt that she needed to find a means of transportation, otherwise her feet would be crippled if she kept walking like this.
"Well, have a candy and take a break." Aunt Hong took out a lollipop from her pocket and handed it to her.
Whether it was her in the previous life or An Ci in this life, they both had a sweet tooth. When she saw the lollipop, her eyes lit up and she reached out to take it, "Thank you, Aunt Hong."
She peeled off the candy wrapper, threw the lollipop into her mouth, and inadvertently glanced at the blue castle in the distance, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
"Auntie Hong, who lives in that blue castle?" Her voice was a little unclear with a lollipop in her mouth.
Aunt Hong followed her gaze and said, "That castle isn't for anyone to live in. It's for classes. Children from the An family's side branches will be sent here when they turn five to be taught by specialized teachers."
Of course, not everyone is qualified to be sent here to study. First of all, you must be talented and intelligent, and secondly, you must pass an interview with the elders. Only after passing these two levels can you get a place to study here.
In the eyes of collateral relatives, it is a great honor to be able to send their children here to study.
"Five years old?" An Ci caught the key words in her words and frowned, "Then why did I have to start lessons at the age of three?"
Aunt Hong said, "Because you are the future heir of the An family, you will naturally have to work harder than others."
Sure enough, being an heir is a loss-making thing.
Not only do you have to get up earlier than the chickens and sleep later than the dogs, but you also have to work harder than anyone else. You might even become bald more easily than others in the future.
Thinking of this, An Ci felt that the candy in his mouth was no longer sweet.
"The head of the family is worried that you, young master, may not be able to adapt to the new situation, so he has arranged for another teacher to teach you individually. After you have gotten through the adaptation period, you will also go there to take classes with your cousin and the others."
An Ci looked up at the sky in silence. She was afraid that she would never be able to adapt to the world in her lifetime.
At this moment, a sound of bells broke through the air.
An Ci looked around, puzzled, "Auntie Hong, where does this bell sound come from?"
"It's coming from the training ground." Aunt Hong grew up here and knows everything about this place. "It's probably break time now."
An Ci had a curious expression on his face, "What's the training ground for?"
"Training the Iron Guards." It was rare for the young lady to be interested in these things, and Aunt Hong was happy to tell her about them.
"Becoming a qualified Iron Guard is no easy task. Not only does one have to undergo years of special training, but they also have to pass various trials and tests. Those who aren't strong enough often lose their lives during the trials and tests. However, those who stand out in the end can be lucky enough to become the head of a family's bodyguard or an instructor at the training ground."
Upon hearing this, An Ci fell into deep thought, holding a lollipop in his mouth.
With her small arms and legs now, it would be difficult for her to protect herself if she encountered danger, let alone sneaking out of class. But if there was someone to help her cover up or something...
She raised the corners of her lips silently, "Auntie Hong, let's go over and take a look."
Aunt Hong was slightly startled. What were you looking at?
Before she could react, she saw An Ci rush out, following the sound of the bell coming from the training ground, and headed straight for the black castle.
Aunt Hong then realized what she was going to see. Her expression changed slightly and she hurriedly chased after her.
"Young Master, that place is not suitable for you..." It would be terrible if the young master got scared to death in such a bloody and violent place.
…
The training ground is in the west, and the black castle exudes a strong aura of solemnity.
After running all the way, An Ci was so tired that his legs became weak. He sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.
“Hu…Hu…”
Aunt Hong chased after them, took a look at the black castle so close, and quickly squatted beside An Ci, advising her, "Young Master, you are still young. This place is not suitable for you. Let's go back."
"No, I won't reply."
An Ci panted and shook her head. She had run so much that her legs were almost broken. It was impossible to ask her to go back now. Besides, she was not really a three-year-old child, so there was nothing inappropriate about it.
She quickly got up, casually dusted off her pants, and pulled Aunt Hong forward.
Aunt Hong felt a headache as she watched the gate getting closer and closer.
"Young Master, can we go back and have dessert? You really can't enter this place." She advised in a low voice.
"Young Master..."
The next moment, they were stopped by the guards at the gate as soon as they approached.
"People who are not from the training ground are not allowed to enter."
