Marquis Xingbai stared in shock at Wenlian, whose little face was pouting and looked fierce, thinking to himself: The fifth princess whom the Empress Dowager likes, isn't her name Wenlian?
But wasn't that little princess always so delicate and frail, barely able to walk, speaking in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, and needing to pant for a long time to say even a single sentence?
"This is...the Fifth Princess?" Marquis Xingbai looked at Xiao Wenlian in astonishment and asked tentatively.
Little Wenlian was blushing from shouting so fiercely when she heard her uncle suddenly call her. Her dark, grape-like eyes turned to him, and she nodded. "Yes! Uncle, you know me too?"
Marquis Xingbai: ? ! !
He knew Princess Wenlian, but he certainly didn't recognize this little tyrant...
Marquis Xingbai stared at Xiao Wenlian in astonishment, speechless, wondering: He had only been away from the capital for less than two months, what on earth had happened?!
At this moment, the little dumpling temporarily let go of the "naughty" An Xunzhi, leaned closer to his fluffy little head, his dark eyes blinking with curious light, sparkling like starlight, and asked in a babyish voice, "Fifth sister, what's wrong?"
When Xingbaihou looked down and saw the fluffy little head, he realized which family the little ancestor came from, and suddenly he knew the answer.
He slowly turned his stiff neck and cautiously glanced at the two tigers, one large and one small, surrounding them, and five pythons even thicker than himself...
Is there anything else he doesn't understand?
Think back to the young Duke Zhongwu, a spoiled brat who spent his days walking his cats and dogs and going to casinos. But after a trip to Hengchang, he was like a completely different person, brave, skilled in battle, and resourceful.
The young master of the Hengchang Prince's family has only been in the capital for two days, yet he has already turned the pampered and delicate little princess in the palace into a lively, fierce, and temperamental child.
Hengchang... what a magnificent place.
"Uncle, what's wrong?" Xiao Wenlian asked in her childish voice when she saw that Xing Baihou was just staring at her blankly without answering her.
Marquis Xingbai snapped back to reality and met Xiaowenlian's inquisitive gaze. He felt an even bigger headache coming on. He quickly forced a smile and said, "No, Uncle was just thinking, oh, so it's the Fifth Princess!"
After saying that, Marquis Xingbai hurriedly apologized to Xiaowenlian, and finally the matter was put behind him.
Seeing the satisfied looks on his three little darlings' faces, Xingbai Hou finally breathed a long sigh of relief and wiped away a bead of cold sweat.
These days, how come three- or four-year-old babies are so hard to soothe!
"By the way, Your Highnesses, what brings you here? Aren't you accompanied by any palace maids or eunuchs?" Marquis Xingbai asked kindly.
The little boy said in his childish voice, "Yes, but they run too slowly, they're behind!"
Too, too slow...?!
Xingbai Hou was once again shocked by the little boy's words.
Looking at the articulate little baby, he felt quite overwhelmed. These babies are cuter when they're a bit silly. Doesn't it give you a headache to raise one who's so smart?
Just as Xingbaihou's lips twitched in amazement, the three little bundles of flesh held hands again, and the little one tilted his head back, speaking to Xingbaihou in a childish voice:
"Uncle, you and your little brother can continue playing. We need to go up the mountain now! Uncle Luo is still waiting for us, and it's almost time."
Upon hearing this, Marquis Xingbai's eyes flickered, and he immediately blurted out, "Wait a moment."
The three little bundles of milk, who were about to leave, stopped in unison, raised their little heads, tilted them to the side, and looked at each other with identical confusion in their clear, dark pupils.
