Chapter 296 I'm not pretending anymore, I'm laying my cards on the table!
After hearing this, Meng Yanzhi also felt that what she said made sense.
"Everyone knows that Canglan Kingdom has several princesses, but it's strange that I've never seen any of them."
"By the way, do you know who that Crown Prince of Canglan Kingdom is?"
Meng Yanzhi stared at Qingdao with a face full of curiosity.
Qingdao shook her head and said, "I have always been on missions in the capital and have never been outside, so I don't know anything about the things and scenery outside the capital."
Seeing Qingdao's pitiful appearance, Meng Yanzhi smiled gently and then said, "Then let's go out together and see our beautiful country!"
"Yes!" Qingdao immediately agreed, feeling a surge of longing in his heart.
When Meng Yanzhi returned to Haitang Palace, she saw Xiao Yumi carrying Aman and running around in the courtyard.
Aman can now discern people's emotions, so whenever Little Corn runs, Aman will giggle non-stop.
Upon seeing Meng Yanzhi enter, Aman immediately waved to her, saying, "Eeee ya ya!"
Meng Yanzhi stepped forward, gently took the child into her arms, kissed her softly, and then said with a smile, "Mother is here! Come on, let Mother take you running!"
As she spoke, Meng Yanzhi, holding the child, started running, just like Xiao Yumi.
"Giggle!"
Aman was clearly more excited than before, chattering and tugging at Meng Yanzhi's hair, laughing loudly.
Xiao Xingyuan stood quietly at the door, watching Meng Yanzhi and Aman's smiles overlap and listening to their laughter mixed together, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.
"Goodness, this accident has actually put you on a good life!"
Standing beside Xiao Xingyuan, Ling Xiao felt a pang of envy upon witnessing this scene.
Xiao Xingyuan rolled his eyes at Ling Xiao and said irritably, "I think you're just jealous that I have such a good wife and kids, aren't you?"
"To be honest, I'm a little jealous. I wonder where my destined one is." Ling Xiao sighed, then went inside and waved to Aman: "Aman, look, Uncle Grand Tutor is here!"
Meng Yanzhi didn't seem to mind and handed the child to Ling Xiao, saying, "Take her and ride a big horse!"
Ling Xiao immediately hoisted the child onto his shoulders and spun around with a smile.
Aman was overjoyed, grabbing Lingxiao's hair and laughing heartily.
Xiao Xingyuan walked over and hugged Aman, giving Meng Yanzhi a disapproving look, and said sullenly, "This is our child, why are you letting him hold her!"
"Can't I even hug them? How can you be so petty?" Meng Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xingyuan with some helplessness: "I have made all the preparations for the Canglan Kingdom. We are just waiting for them to enter the capital tomorrow."
Xiao Xingyuan snorted: "I've heard that their damn crown prince has been incredibly high-profile all the way here, dressed in red and full of flirtatiousness. I really want to see for myself what kind of person he is."
Well……
Meng Yanzhi had never imagined that such vulgar words would come out of Xiao Xingyuan's mouth.
She was taken aback for a moment, then realized what she meant and said with a hint of helplessness, "Aman is still young, but she can understand what you're saying. Can you please stop saying such nonsense in front of the child?"
Xiao Xingyuan had only meant to vent, but he never expected it would have such a negative impact on the child. He immediately covered his mouth and whispered, "Yes, I promise I won't say that again."
Upon hearing this, Meng Yanzhi smiled gently, pinched Aman's cheek, and said, "Alright, alright, our Aman won't listen to this nonsense."
She handed the child to Qingdao, pulled Xiao Xingyuan to sit down, and looked at Ling Xiao: "I've noticed that you've been staying in the palace a lot lately. Is something the matter?"
"How did I end up staying in the palace?" Ling Xiao felt a pang of grievance: "I've been running around doing chores lately, I'm exhausted!"
Seeing that he had indeed lost a lot of weight, Meng Yanzhi smiled and said, "That's true. Then I'll make you something delicious to help you recover."
"I'll personally prepare the sauce tonight, and we'll have hot pot with mutton, okay?" Meng Yanzhi tilted her head and looked at Xiao Xingyuan with anticipation.
Xiao Xingyuan immediately nodded: "Okay, I like to eat this, we'll have this for dinner!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ling Xiao immediately gave a strange bow, his eyes crinkling with a hint of mockery.
Xiaoyue also joined in for dinner.
It was her first time eating hot pot with mutton, so she found it incredibly novel: "Sister Meng, you're amazing! You can actually make something so delicious?"
"Then you should tell me what dishes I made that weren't good?" Meng Yanzhi raised an eyebrow, looking at Xiaoyue with some curiosity.
Xiaoyue really didn't expect that just saying something casually would result in such a problem.
However, Xiaoyue was young, so she thought about it carefully before saying, "No, Sister Meng is amazing! Everything she makes tastes delicious!"
That's more like it.
Meng Yanzhi nodded in satisfaction, then said, "That's right, it seems our Xiaoyue is quite clever!"
"By the way, Xiaoyue, how have you been feeling in the palace these past few days? Has anyone been bullying you?" Meng Yanzhi asked Xiaoyue with concern while she was cooking hot pot.
Xiaoyue shook her head: "Everyone in the palace is very kind to me. No one bullies me. It's all because you're so amazing, Sister Meng, that they don't dare to bully me at all!"
Meng Yanzhi snorted and looked at Ling Xiao with a hint of arrogance.
When Xiaoyue was with Ling Xiao, she was always very introverted and even a little afraid to speak loudly.
However, after following Meng Yanzhi for more than a month, he seemed to have become a completely different person, which shows that Meng Yanzhi is really good at taking care of children.
Ling Xiao smiled with satisfaction as he looked at Xiao Yue's changes, and gave Meng Yanzhi a grateful look.
Meng Yanzhi smiled and said, "No need to thank me specially, just give me some gold ingots."
Ling Xiao was initially touched, but upon hearing this, his expression immediately changed. He rolled his eyes at Meng Yanzhi and said irritably, "I'm even giving you some gold ingots! You, the Empress, are asking me for things!"
"So what? Can't the Empress ask you for things?" Meng Yanzhi said matter-of-factly, glancing at Xiao Xingyuan. "Your Majesty, say something!"
"Then one hundred ingots of gold will do." Xiao Xingyuan raised an eyebrow, looking at Ling Xiao with a half-smile. "You should be able to afford that, right?"
Meng Yanzhi immediately beamed with joy, grabbed Xiaoyue's hand, and jumped up and down, saying, "Xiaoyue, we're going to have a hundred ingots of gold!"
