Duan Yiling also urged, "Yes, the little princess hasn't been to the Marquis' Mansion since she returned to the palace, and the Marquis misses the little princess too."

Xiao Ruyu thought about the toys outside the palace, and a desire to play suddenly came to her mind, so she agreed directly.

[Okay, okay, I've been wanting to go out and play for a long time. This palace is too stuffy.]

Eleven reminded from the side, "Eleven, go report this to the Queen now."

【don't want--】

Xiao Ruyu stopped him with a pleading look in her eyes.

[We will go out first and then have the servants report.]

[I'll kill you first and ask for your permission later! I won't be afraid that my mother won't agree! ]

"This..." Eleven was still a little hesitant, but Duan Yiling brushed it off.

"It's settled. Let's go back to the Marquis' Mansion now."

With no other choice, Eleven could only follow Xiao Ruyu.

Inside the Zhenhou Mansion.

Upon hearing that Xiao Ruyu had arrived, the old marquis came out excitedly to greet him.

He was leaning on a crutch, standing at the door waiting for Xiao Ruyu to come.

When Xiao Ruyu saw him, she called out sweetly, "Yu'er greets Grandpa."

The old marquis looked at the soft and sticky little meat ball, threw away his crutches, bent down and picked up Xiao Ruyu.

"Oh, my little Yu'er, she's so big now."

Although he is over seventy years old, he is still strong from the battles he fought in when he was young.

He threw Xiao Ruyu high up and caught her, giggling.

Eleven stood nervously by the side, afraid that she would fall.

Lord Duan also came out from the house to greet them. Seeing the old man throw away his crutches, he was so scared that he took Xiao Ruyu's crutch.

"Old man, please take care of yourself. I forgot what the doctor said a few days ago."

The old marquis glared at him unhappily, took the cane and tapped the ground heavily, "I'm fine! Don't worry!"

Seeing that he was angry, Xiao Ruyu leaned over and kissed him on the face.

"Grandpa, please take care of yourself."

"Yu'er is so sensible." Hearing her concern, the old marquis' face was full of smiles.

"What are you doing outside in the wind? Come inside."

Duan Yiheng's biological mother, Mrs. Duan, came out with a smile and helped the old marquis into the house.

As soon as he entered the room, Xiao Ruyu was startled by the objects scattered on the floor.

[What is this, a house raid? ]

She stood there stupidly, looking to the side in confusion.

Lord Duan had just sat down and taken a sip of tea. When he heard her words, he almost spit them out and spoke with a smile.

"I heard from Yiheng a few days ago that the palace was clearing out unwanted items from the treasury, and the little princess took them all."

"I thought the little princess would like these treasures, so I took out all the items from the storehouse in the mansion."

He walked to the center of the room and pointed at the objects on the ground, "Princess, take your pick."

"Are these all mine?"

Xiao Ruyu's eyes lit up as she stared at the treasure on the ground.

Lord Duan nodded slightly.

"Of course you can. Not to mention these treasures, even if the little princess wants to move the mansion away, that's fine."

Before Xiao Ruyu could continue speaking, Duan Yiling caught a glimpse of something on the ground, took two steps over and picked it up.

"father!"

"Isn't this the Xuanyuan Sword I've been asking you for for so long?"

"You won't even take it out for me to touch!"

He held the Xuan-Yuan Sword and looked at Lord Duan in disbelief.

“Ahem…”

Lord Duan coughed twice and tried to find an excuse.

"There are so many swords here, why don't you just take the others?"

The old marquis also chimed in, "The little princess is the only daughter of our Duan family. If we don't love her, who else should we love?!"

Duan Yiling drooped his lips, "Then you didn't give me anything else I asked for..."

[Okay, I won’t compete with Brother Yiling for it.]

Xiao Ruyu showed her pearly teeth, tilted her head and smiled at Duan Yiling's grievance.

Suddenly a smell wafted over from outside and Xiao Ruyu sniffed.

"What smells so good?"

She followed the smell all the way to the yard, and when she looked at the jars at the top of the wine cellar, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Uncle, what kind of wine is this? It smells so good."

Lord Duan followed and saw her eyes on the top, and answered, "This is homemade wine, mixed with some seasonal locust flowers."

Xiao Ruyu stood on tiptoe to reach it, and Lord Duan saw this and hurriedly helped to take it down.

As soon as the lid was opened, the unique aroma of locust flowers mixed with the strong smell of wine entered Xiao Ruyu's nose.

Just one sip and I felt three-quarters drunk.

[The medicinal wine I drank in the Miao village before had the same aroma as this one. I miss it very much. ]

"Uncle, can you tell me the recipe? I will ask the servants in the palace to make some when we return to the palace."

Xiao Ruyu looked at Lord Duan eagerly.

Seeing how much she liked the wine, Lord Duan waved his hand and said, "Little Princess, try this wine. It's definitely not worse than the medicinal wine."

He scooped out a large bowl and handed it to Xiao Ruyu.

Looking at the wine in front of her, Xiao Ruyu had already been drooling. Just as she was about to dive in, a pair of hands stopped her.

Eleven gently pushed the wine bowl away, looking helpless, "My Lord, no, the little princess is still young and cannot drink."

He remembered how Xiao Ruyu acted crazy after drinking and couldn't help but remind him.

"Little princess, don't forget last time..."

Xiao Ruyu stared at the wine bowl that was pushed away, feeling greedy.

"Just let me have a bite, not much."

Eleven still stood firmly in front of her and refused to give in.

Seeing the two men in a stalemate, Lord Duan pushed Eleven away and boldly pushed the wine bowl in front of Xiao Ruyu.

"Our little princess is the daughter of a general. There is no one in the mansion who can't drink!"

"Come on, don't be afraid of this! If anything goes wrong, your uncle will take care of you!"

Eleven was pushed away and was quite anxious. It was too late for him to stop it.

Xiao Ruyu plunged in and drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp.

"Good! She is worthy of being the niece of our Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion!"

Lord Duan applauded when he saw that she could talk so much at such a young age.

Xiao Ruyu burped, and the fragrant scent of locust flowers filled his mouth.

"It is indeed...hiccup...it tastes better than that medicinal wine."

Seeing that her face was beginning to turn red again, Eleven felt something was wrong.

He stepped forward and picked up Xiao Ruyu, trying to take her back to the palace before she got drunk. "It's getting late. The little princess won't eat in the mansion. We should go back."

"Hey, hey, hey, now that you're here, the mansion has specially made some cakes that the little princess likes today."

Mrs. Duan had just walked out of the door and heard these words, so she hurriedly invited the two of them to stay for dinner.

When Xiao Ruyu heard about pastries, she didn't want to go back even more.

【Eleven, I want to eat cakes. 】

At this time, the alcohol had taken effect and her eyes began to become blurry.

It's over, I'm drunk again.

This was the only thought in Eleven's mind.

Before he knew it, Xiao Ruyu jumped out of his arms and ran into the house.

"Quickly catch the little princess!" Eleven quickly turned around and said to Lord Duan.

Before Lord Duan understood what was happening, he heard the servants in the room screaming.

Xiao Ruyu picked up a big knife from the ground and started waving it in a pretentious manner.

At this time, her mind was already not clear, and she just wanted to show off her sword to everyone.
