Hmm, this little prince doesn't seem to like me very much?
Yuan Yao thought for a moment, then smiled brightly: "I've come to pick you up!"
Jiang Chengyan muttered something to himself and then turned and retreated.
Outside the carriage, there was a faint commotion...
Yuan Yao: "?"
Another brat!
At this moment, Huairou's complexion was not good. She forced a smile and climbed into the carriage: "Yao'er, Chengyan is not feeling well after the long journey. Shall we go back to the palace first?"
Feeling unwell after a long journey?
You clearly don't want to see her, right?
All her enthusiasm was wasted.
Harmful!
But it doesn't matter!
Sooner or later, this little brat will fall for her!
Yuan Yao smiled sweetly: "Let's go back."
On the way here, five people were crammed into a carriage.
On the way back, the carriage was empty, with only Yuan Yao and the guards remaining.
Yuan Yao: "..."
She should have gone back to catch up on her sleep.
Fortunately, she's not a real little kid; otherwise, being isolated like this would probably make her cry.
It was exceptionally quiet inside the carriage.
The guards were stiff and motionless.
Yuan Yao thought for a moment and said to the guard, "Change out of this outfit."
Cross-dressing men are interesting at first glance, but after a while, they become boring.
The guard obeyed: "Please...please have the princess carry me."
Turn your back?
Yuan Yao glanced at the guards from head to toe and said in a childish voice, "It's okay, you can take your clothes off."
Her current body is that of a small baby, so there's no need to worry about gender differences.
However, the guard was somewhat embarrassed: "Princess..."
Yuan Yao: "?"
She said in a childish voice, "Just take it off when I tell you to, what are you afraid of? Do you think I'm going to eat you?"
A grown man, yet so fussy and indecisive.
The next second, the carriage curtain was lifted.
Xie Zhi crawled in and asked, "What are you taking off?"
Huaiyao also crawled in with Xie Zhi.
Huaiyao, with a whip wrapped around his arm and a slightly dark expression, glanced at the guard and said in a harsh tone, "Don't take it off!"
Bodyguard: "..."
The guard picked up Yuan Yao and turned to look out the window.
Huaiyao snorted coldly and said angrily, "I'm so angry! If I had known that Jiang Chengyan would change his personality after spending half a year by the Empress Dowager's side, I would never have come to pick him up!"
Has her personality changed?
Yuan Yao was extremely curious: "What's wrong with him?"
Huaiyao glared at her: "You wouldn't understand even if I told you!"
Yuan Yao felt that she had been inexplicably targeted with anger.
At this moment, Xie Zhi said, "With Jiang Lanyue around, you won't need to go to Fotai Mountain anymore, right? Just bear with it, Chengyan will change."
"Endure what?!" Huaiyao was particularly annoyed. "Did you hear what Jiang Chengyan said? He said something about cultivating my character and acting like a girl, not wielding swords all day!"
As everyone knows, Princess Huaiyao was a lively and carefree person, unlike typical princesses. Instead, she enjoyed martial arts, playing with whips, horseback riding, and archery...
Every word Jiang Chengyan said struck a chord with her.
Thinking about it, Huaiyao said indignantly, "The Crown Prince likes to practice swordsmanship, but no one says anything to him! Chengyan also liked to practice swordsmanship before he left the palace... They can do it, so why can't I, the princess?"
Just then, a sweet, childlike voice chimed in: "Of course you can!"
Huaiyao immediately looked at Yuanyao.
Yuan Yao's chubby little face was unusually serious: "Huai Yao, wielding swords and knives isn't just for boys, girls can do it too."
Don't worry about what others say, just do what you like.
"You..." Huaiyao looked at her suspiciously: "You really think so?"
“Yes!” Yuan Yao smiled brightly. “The way you wield the whip is so cool! I’m so envious!”
When I'm older, I want to learn a martial art to help me!
Hearing Yuan Yao praise her for being cool, Huai Yao blushed slightly for some reason: "You're still too young, it's not suitable for you to learn martial arts..."
"I know!" Yuan Yao said with a smile, "That's why I'll wait until I'm a little older to learn! Then I can spar with you!"
Her words made Huaiyao feel much better.
In a good mood, Huaiyao couldn't help but say, "When you grow up to be my age, I'll be even bigger. Who would want to spar with you? This princess won't bully little brats!"
Huaiyao is nine years old this year, almost six years older than Yuanyao!
When Yuan Yao turns nine, she will have reached marriageable age and will be an adult...
Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao remained happy and said, "Then I will try to grow as fast as possible so that I can catch up with you sooner."
"Hmph!" Huaiyao snorted arrogantly, leaned against the side wall, and closed her eyes to rest.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Yao's eyes crinkled with laughter.
Huaiyao's personality is just like the Emperor's!
Equally irritable, equally arrogant.
However, compared to the emperor, Huaiyao was lively, carefree, and full of youthful energy...
The carriage had been in the city for a short while when Xie Zhi jumped off.
The bodyguards also quietly left and returned to their original appearance.
When the carriage arrived at the palace gate, the Empress and her entourage were seen waiting in the distance, though it was unclear how long they had been waiting.
As soon as Jiang Chengyan stepped off the carriage, he trotted over and obediently bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I have returned!"
The Empress patted him with relief: "It's good that you're back. Let's go back to Fengwu Palace."
Before leaving, Jiang Chengyan glanced out the door.
Yuan Yao lifted the carriage curtain and gave him a sweet smile.
Jiang Chengyan: "Hmph!"
Soon, the group disappeared through the palace gates in a grand procession.
Huaiyao touched the whip on her arm and said with suppressed anger, "If my mother weren't Consort Lin, I would definitely give Jiang Chengyan a good beating!"
How annoying!
Why has Jiang Chengyan become so annoying after not seeing him for half a year?
Yuan Yao hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Huaiyao, are you going to Qianhua Palace? I'll have someone cook something delicious for you; it'll cheer you up."
Is it delicious?
Huaiyao's eyes lit up.
The next moment, she got even angrier: "Who wants to eat food from your Qianhua Palace? I won't eat it!"
Yuan Yao: "..."
What has she done to deserve this?
These little brats!
Lifting the carriage curtain, Yuan Yao lifted her skirt, clung to the carriage, and with great effort, her short legs finally touched the ground.
She clapped her hands and said to Huaiyao, "Let's go, bye-bye!"
Huaiyao, in the car, was nearly driven mad with anger: "Get out of here!"
"Alright!" Yuan Yao smiled and trotted towards Danqing, who was waiting for her, with her short legs.
Danqing had been waiting at the palace gate for half an hour.
Seeing that she was alright, Danqing breathed a sigh of relief and scolded, "Princess, it's dangerous outside. What if you encounter danger if you go out like this?"
Yuan Yao opened her arms wide: "Sister Danqing, hug me..."
The baby's voice was drawn out for a long time.
Danqing was so angry he laughed, bent down, and caught her.
Nestled in Danqing's arms, Yuan Yao looked around and asked, "Where are the guards?"
Danqing said, "The guards have already gone to receive their punishment."
"ah……"
Yuan Yao immediately became anxious and said to Dan Qing, "Quick, we need to find Father! No! Find the secret guards!"
She said she would plead for mercy and not let the Ninth Prince punish the secret guards!
Danqing said helplessly, "Princess, the guards took you out of the city without permission, so they should be punished."
“But it was my own choice to go!” Yuan Yao said earnestly, “I have to tell Father that I can make my own decisions now, and I can take responsibility for my actions!”
Danqing was stunned: "Princess..."
Yuan Yao urged in her sweet, childlike voice, "Hurry up!"
