As soon as Xiao Linting entered the side courtyard, he saw Nafu walking towards him with a serious expression. As a last resort, he could only let his confidant follow Jiang Qingqing closely while he went to the study to handle matters.

When he had almost dealt with everything and walked over, he saw his confidant standing at the door, but the door was tightly closed.

He felt inexplicably nervous, but the last bit of reason told him not to be too confrontational.

But when he saw the door open and the little princess was safe and sound, Xiao Linting's nervous heart suddenly turned into relief.

Then, he looked at the little princess indifferently and said in a deep voice: "Qingqing, you shouldn't be like this."

Jiang Qingqing's originally joyful expression suddenly turned into confusion, and finally into innocence.

"I'm just curious about the way she handles things. I thought that two little girls chatting shouldn't be heard by outsiders, so what shouldn't I do?" Jiang Qingqing looked up at the young boy.

Xiao Linting raised his eyes to look at the situation inside the house, and saw the little girl sitting on the edge of the bed, staring blankly ahead.

It doesn't feel like a dangerous atmosphere.

Xiao Linting suppressed the inexplicable anger in his heart and explained to Jiang Qingqing softly, "It's too dangerous to be alone in a room. Next time, you must bring at least one person with you."

Jiang Qingqing pursed her lips, turned her head and snorted, "I used to have a girl named Xin Juan by my side, but as a palace maid, she couldn't leave the palace. So when I leave the palace, it's not natural that I'm alone, right?"

Xiao Linting raised his hand and pressed his forehead slightly, "What kind of person do you want, Qingqing?"

"Of course, the person has to be smart, good at speaking, and understand a lot of principles! Only outstanding people can stay by my side."

When Jiang Qingqing heard this, her eyes lit up.

There are indeed very few people around her who can be used at the moment.

Although Xin Juan was her chief maid, the people in the palace were complicated, and the deeper the people were, the more she dared not use them too much. But people outside the palace, like Yan Luo, although smart and intelligent, were not easy to bring into the palace.

She was still struggling with this matter before.

Now, a powerful person like the Emperor's uncle took the initiative to ask her.

It’s a waste not to grab this opportunity!

Xiao Linting stood at the door of the room, not intending to go in. He subconsciously stretched out his hand, but before he could speak, he opened his mouth.

The little guy then took the initiative to stretch out his hand, and his smooth little hand grasped his broad palm instead of holding his fingers as usual.

He couldn't help but look down at the small hand in his palm, feeling a little surprised.

But the person concerned didn't notice this at all, she said, "Do you really want to choose someone for me!?"

Xiao Linting collected his distracted thoughts. He nodded in response to Jiang Qingqing's words and glanced at Nafu.

Seeing this, Nafu immediately stepped sideways into the room and walked towards Yanluo.

Jiang Qingqing seemed to be talking endlessly to the emperor's uncle about her ideal servant, while pretending to look back at the room casually. The door where she was standing happened to be able to see Yan Luo directly.

Yan Luo kept staring at her back.

The two of them exchanged glances in silence, and with Jiang Qingqing's eye signal, Yan Luo understood what she meant.

This means to keep the troops in place.

After Nafu asked about her health, Yanluo said frankly that she had gotten much better and expressed her gratitude.

Jiang Qingqing didn't take much time to look at Yan Luo's condition. After the negotiation just now in the house, she knew that Yan Luo was a smart person and she didn't need to worry too much.

Xiao Linting led Jiang Qingqing out of the side yard. In front of them was not the horse, but an inconspicuous carriage.

"I feel that it is not safe to always take Your Highness on horseback." Xiao Linting noticed Jiang Qingqing's confusion, and he began to explain.

Jiang Qingqing pursed her lips and nodded. She had no objection to this. With the help of the emperor's uncle, she climbed into the carriage.

Before I could even sit down properly, another figure suddenly entered the carriage.

Xiao Linting entered the carriage with a calm expression. When Jiang Qingqing subconsciously gave up her seat, he sat down calmly and even sorted out his clothes slowly.

Jiang Qingqing was dumbfounded.

"Uncle, this..."

【Didn't he mean to stop riding horses? What was he doing here?】

Xiao Linting remained calm as he skillfully took out a stack of letters from a secret cabinet beside him.

He explained calmly, "It's almost sunset, and there are many people returning from sunrise. It's inconvenient with so many people, so I have to get in the carriage too."

Jiang Qingqing witnessed the emperor's uncle opening the letter in front of her. She took a quick glance and saw the content of the letter with the words "tiger talisman", and her heart trembled.

[Good fellow, this guy really doesn't treat me as an outsider, he's not afraid that I'll take a peek at these, does he think I can't understand?! Damn, I feel insulted. ]

Jiang Qingqing clenched her fists as she spoke. She looked at Xiao Linting's handsome profile and for the first time, she had the idea of ​​punching the handsome man hard.

Xiao Linting had long since turned a deaf ear to the little baby's anxious thoughts and was no longer surprised by them.

He still read the letters as usual, but his expression changed from indifference at the beginning to a slightly depressed look at the end.

In order to give the emperor's uncle some privacy, Jiang Qingqing took the initiative to turn her head away and look out the car window.

The side courtyard was indeed quite far away from Prince Xiao's palace, and Jiang Qingqing felt like she was almost crossing the entire Kyoto.

The carriage was still moving leisurely on the avenue, shaking Jiang Qingqing so much that she almost woke up from sleepiness.

At this critical moment, the sound of packing letters came from behind, which slightly dispelled Jiang Qingqing's sleepiness.

"Your Highness, are you happy to go out for fun today?"

Putting the letter aside, Xiao Linting took a round orange from the small coffee table and peeled it with his own hands.

Almost in an instant, the entire car was filled with the fresh scent of orange peel.

This made Jiang Qingqing excited. She turned around and saw the little uncle, who had a noble aura and a handsome appearance as if he was banished from heaven. With his slender hands with distinct bony fingers, he was peeling the skin of an orange and breaking off a segment, and handing it to Jiang Qingqing's mouth.

Jiang Qingqing: “?”

[What does this mean? This won’t happen…]

Before she could figure out what was going on in her mind, the orange in her mouth moved closer to her.

Xiao Linting looked at the girl who seemed to be a little dazed, and he said softly: "Eating more fruits is good for your health. Your Highness is at a good age to grow taller."

After saying that, Orange moved closer.

This made sense, but Jiang Qingqing felt that feeding fruit...she started to feel something was wrong.

But because of the emperor's uncle's intimidating look, she subconsciously reached out to take it, but Xiao Linting dodged it nimbly.

Looking at the posture, it seems that he is going to feed the orange to her personally.

[I'm still young, it's not a big problem, it's not a big problem. ]

Jiang Qingqing secretly brainwashed herself not to think too much, and at the same time she had no choice but to open her mouth and eat the orange.
