Looking at the little baby's chubby little hands, Zhuangyou couldn't help but want to pick up her clever little darling and give him a good kiss!
That's a great answer!
Sure enough, the little girl in the pink jacket and topknot paused for a moment, then spoke, asking again, "No, I... I wanted to ask, who are you? Where did you come from?"
The little boy tilted his head in confusion, then answered earnestly in his chubby voice, "We came here to play, that's why we came from over there!"
The little baby's chubby little hands hadn't even had a chance to go down yet.
The little girl in the pink jacket and topknot blushed, somewhat annoyed. "No, I meant, I meant..."
The maid behind her quickly stepped forward to explain on behalf of her young mistress:
"Greetings, young ladies. My daughter is Qin Raorao, the second daughter of the Duke of Zhongwu, and she's practically the hostess of this courtyard. May I ask which lady you three have come with? And where did you stay before coming to the capital?"
Sure enough, the maid's explanation clarified what the girl in the pink jacket had said.
However, although the maid was explaining to the three little dumplings, her gaze was always fixed on Zhuangyou, clearly indicating that she was asking about Zhuangyou.
After all, these three little ones are three years old, three and a half years old, and four years old. Such young children probably can't even speak clearly.
However, when Zhuangyou met the maid's gaze, she smiled faintly, as if she hadn't seen her at all, and showed no intention of overstepping her bounds.
The little boy looked at Qin Raorao and said in his childish voice, "So that's what you wanted to ask. We came with Wenlian's third brother, not with any lady. Third brother said we could come and play, so we came."
As he spoke, the little boy looked at Miss Wenlian.
Xiao Wenlian was taken aback, then met Qin Raorao's gaze, and only then did she belatedly realize what was happening, quickly nodding and saying, "Yes!"
Actually, if the little boy hadn't reminded her, Xiao Wenlian wouldn't have remembered that Huo Chengche was her third brother.
After all... her third brother, the legitimate son of the Empress, had always been as unattainable as the sun and the moon to her.
Moreover, Huo Chengche, a man as aloof as an immortal, is exceptionally gentle with the little boy, while keeping strangers at a distance.
"Then...where did you come from?" Qin Raorao frowned slightly, still asking the question she cared about most.
The little dumpling puffed out her cheeks. In the two days since she entered the palace, she had vaguely realized that she was the only one from Hengchang here.
If you say she's from Hengchang, it's like telling people she's the little princess, and then people will suddenly change their attitude towards her and act strangely.
The little one doesn't like this feeling.
"I'm from Xingjun!" Changyin said first when the little boy didn't speak.
However, Qin Raorao was clearly not interested in where Changyin came from. She stared straight at the little boy and asked, "And you, where did you come from?"
Xiao Wenlian stood next to the little boy, thinking Qin Raorao was asking her, and replied with a grin, "I live in the capital!"
"You live in the capital?" Qin Raorao looked Wenlian carefully, then asked, "Then why have I never seen you before?"
Xiao Wenlian looked up in surprise, "I...I've never seen you before..."
Hearing Xiao Wenlian's words, Qin Raorao's delicate face hardened, and she raised her voice, "What do you mean by that! I'm just asking you why I've never seen you before!"
Xiao Wenlian was even more confused.
Qin Raorao's maid explained with a smile, "Young lady, what my lady means is that she has attended all the banquets, but she has never seen you at any of them. Does your master not take you to the banquets?"
