Because of Xiaoyi's arrival, Zhuangzhuang has become much happier. Usually he and Xiaoguo stay at home doing nothing, but now he, Xiaoyi, and Xiaohu are running around the village together.

At first Xiao Guo thought it was a bit dangerous, after all, Xiao Yi was the prince, so he followed him several times, but he soon dismissed the idea.

Because the Royal Guards following the village, although they cannot be seen with the naked eye, they are everywhere.

For example, this time, Xiaohu took two people to climb a tree. Although the tree was not high, it was quite difficult for Xiaoyi and Zhuangzhuang who had never climbed it before. Xiaoyi didn't step firmly and almost fell down. Xiaoguo reacted quickly and went to catch him immediately, but someone was faster.

Two people suddenly appeared out of nowhere, one on the left and one on the right, and caught Xiao Yi steadily, and put him on the tree branch before he could react.

After the performance, the two of them left with a sense of accomplishment.

Xiao Guo closed his mouth with difficulty and retracted his right foot. He was really shocked...

"well?"

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought I was seeing things.

Apparently, except for Xiao Yi, everyone else was shocked by this operation.

Xiaoguo rubbed his calf and thought there was nothing for him to do, so he decided to go back. If he had known someone was following him, he would not have bothered to follow them for a walk every day.

Chong Zhuangzhuang waved his hand, and when she saw that he understood what she meant, she left.

Xiaohu sat on a thick tree branch, watching the mother and son arguing. After Xiaoguo left, he curiously asked Zhuangzhuang, "Zhuangzhuang, where did your mother go?"

"Not sure." Zhuangzhuang smiled and shook his head, "Most likely he went home."

"Oh~" Xiaohu said, and then he saw Xiaoyi who had just sat down next to him and asked, "Xiaoyi, who are those people?"

"Hmm..." Xiao Yi didn't know how to answer him. His father told him not to reveal his identity when he was out. But Xiao Hu was also his friend. Wouldn't it be a bit bad not to tell him?

When Xiaoyi was still struggling, Zhuangzhuang remembered Xiaoguo's instructions, so he turned to Xiaohu and said, "Those are the people Xiaoyi's father sent to take care of him."

After hearing this, Xiao Yi looked up at Zhuangzhuang in confusion, but the other party just smiled back at him. Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, then he also smiled widely in return.

"Oh~ Then Xiao Yi's family must care about him very much, otherwise they wouldn't have anyone to take care of him."

"Yeah." Xiao Yi nodded. Although his father was very strict with him, he cared about him and was concerned about him, so what Xiao Hu said was very correct.

"Those two guys are really skilled!"

Xiaohu has a heroic dream. He always imagines that he can be as strong and agile as those two men, able to do anything.

"That's right, those two guys' martial arts are the most powerful."

Xiao Yi nodded in agreement. Those two people had always been by his father's side. They just came out to take care of him this time.

"So you were escorted all the way here by them?"

After seeing Xiaoyi nod, Xiaohu touched his chin. If that was the case, then those two were the legendary flower guardians, and Xiaoyi was that flower!

After hearing this, Xiao Yi didn't think there was anything wrong with it, so he nodded.

Zhuangzhuang, the only one who understood the flower guardian's meaning, almost fell off the tree. He steadied his staggering body, looked at the two confused people, opened his mouth but still said nothing. Forget it, it is not necessary to correct this.

"Zhuangzhuang, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay." After Zhuangzhuang figured it out, he shook his head at Xiaoyi and comforted him.

Xiaoyi originally thought that he loved playing enough, but he didn't expect that Xiaohu loved playing even more. He dragged him and Zhuangzhuang around the whole village, climbing trees and playing snowball fights.

Although most of the snow has melted, there are still many places where the sun does not reach and are still covered with thick snow.

Xiao Yi curiously grabbed a handful of snow and put it in his palm, carefully feeling the snow melting in his palm and finally turning into a pool of snow water.

It was snowing in the palace, but before Xiao Yi had time to play with the snow, it was swept away by the palace maids and eunuchs. So this was Xiao Yi's first time to really enjoy playing in the snow.

The three of them climbed trees and played snowball fights, but in the end their clothes were all dirty.

When it was time to eat, the three of them went home. When Xiaoguo came out after dinner, she saw two clay dolls standing in the yard, smiling at her with their white teeth bared.

Xiaoguo couldn't get angry at all because of their silly and cute looks, but there was nothing she could do, the meal was ready, so she could only let the two of them wash their hands and eat first.

After dinner, Xiaoguo boiled some water, and when it boiled, she went back to the house, stripped the two children clean, revealing their white bodies, then wrapped them in thick quilts, carried them to the bathroom one by one, and put them into the hot water.

First, she carried Xiaoyi in, then wrapped Zhuangzhuang tightly in a thick quilt and half pushed and half carried him into the bathroom.

The two little kids sat together in the hot water, feeling extremely comfortable.

After Xiaoguo rubbed one, he rubbed another. I don't know where these wild monkeys went. They made the clothes so dirty. It was not just ordinary dirt. I had to rub it hard to get the mud off.

I applied a lot of soap, rinsed and wiped the baby dry, then carried him back into the house and put him into the warm quilt.

It seemed that the two children were tired after playing all day. Xiaoguo went out to pee, and when he came back, he saw that the two of them had fallen asleep with their heads leaning against each other.

He blew out the candles gently and then went out.

–

Xiao Yi originally planned to stay here for three days, but when the date came, he postponed it for two days. In total, he stayed for nearly a week before leaving.

On the day of departure, Xiao Yi was extremely reluctant to leave. He looked listless from the moment he woke up and blinked at Guan Xi who came to pick him up.

"I……"

"No, it's been too long. The Emperor is already urging us."

As soon as Guan Xi saw him open his mouth, he knew what he was going to say. He was like this the last time he was about to leave. He felt wronged and hesitated, so he asked for permission and stayed a few more days. But now he was going to repeat the same trick, and he couldn't postpone it any longer.

Xiaoguo couldn't help laughing when looking at Xiaoyi. Is this place better than the palace?

Xiao Yi held Zhuang Zhuang tightly, and Zhuang Zhuang also held him tightly. The two of them looked at Guan Xi eagerly, looking like a bad guy who wanted to separate them.

No matter how reluctant they were, they had to leave. Xiaoyi got on the carriage and was reluctant to lower the curtain. Guanxi had no choice but to look to Xiaoguo and ask her for help.

Xiaoguo walked up and stroked Xiaoyi's head, again and again, soothing Xiaoyi's emotions.

"Xiao Yi, you are not leaving."

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Guo in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

"You are going to the capital to complete a mission. Once the mission is completed, you can come back to us if you have the opportunity."

As he spoke, he patted the small bag on Xiaoyi's back and blinked his eyes mischievously.

After hearing this, Xiao Yi instantly regained his spirits, held the cross-body bag, and nodded heavily. Yes, he had a mission!

“I will definitely complete it!”

Xiao Yi nodded majestically at Xiao Guo, and his heroic look amused Xiao Guo.

The carriage slowly left the two people's sight. Xiao Guo sighed and looked down at Zhuangzhuang beside him.

Zhuangzhuang was very melancholy at the moment, and sighed as he watched the carriage go away.

"Go back."

Xiaoguo held Zhuangzhuang and walked towards home. She looked at the depressed Zhuangzhuang and wanted to comfort him, "Zhuangzhuang..."

"Mom, I know that all good things must come to an end, and it's not like we won't see each other again. If he misses me, he can come find me. If I miss him, you will take me to find him, right?"

"Hmm..." After thinking about it, he found that there was nothing wrong. He was fine anyway. If Zhuangzhuang really wanted to find him, the worst that could happen was to rent a carriage.

She has the time and the money, so it's no big deal.
