Huo Xiaolong stared at Lan Tingche, who lowered his head a little embarrassed by the boy's gaze. He didn't intend to compete with his little sister, Long'er, for their father, it was just...
He just missed home so much, he missed his dad and his mom.
"What's wrong? Why do you have to be so fond of my dad?"
Hou Xiangxiang also adores her father, meaning Huo Shuwen is her dream father. Now that a little boy is also adoring her father, Huo Xiaolong himself didn't know that biological fathers are so sought after in the world of fathers.
She's clearly the kind of person who's in a position to leave her child's life and death to fate.
"Next time I'll have my dad catch a poisonous toad for you, let's see if you still like it."
Lan Tingche clenched his hands on his knees and said apologetically.
"Uncle Huo looks a lot like my father."
"Do you miss your dad?" the little dumpling asked.
"Um."
"Sigh." Huo Xiaolong sighed as well.
There's nothing we can do. The prince is gone; there's no way to rescue him.
The little dumpling sat beside him and began to speak.
"So, have you accepted this?"
"Um?"
The question came out of nowhere, causing the little boy's eyes to turn bright red instantly.
he……
They haven't accepted the fact that their parents are gone.
From the moment he learned the devastating news, Lan Tingche forced himself to forget it. As long as he didn't remember, his parents would still be waiting for him in the capital.
must.
"You need to look ahead, brother."
Writing a farewell letter is difficult, but you really need to look forward, despite the pent-up emotions and old leg injuries. These things will get better with time, but only if you choose to.
Time truly is a great healer, helping people overcome many difficult and painful experiences.
Xiongzai also pushed open the door and came out for a stroll. Mainly, he also needed to go to the toilet. He Yi had taught him not to pee or poop in the room or in the yard. When it passed Lan Tingche, it nudged the boy.
That means you're blocking the way, move aside a little.
"Look ahead, will it pass?"
Huo Xiaolong didn't give him a definite answer, but turned to ask him instead.
"Don't you?"
Anyway, she felt it would happen, it definitely would.
"Mom, comb my hair."
The little dumpling went off to be a third wheel again, leaving the little boy alone in the yard, slowly savoring his conversation with his sister.
"Since those guards didn't go back, will they send someone else?"
He Yi didn't want to say whether that person would send someone over again, as it made her a little scared.
Cen Ang shook his head and said
"The emperor is far away, so he can't do anything to us, and we can't do anything to him either."
Unlike before, where the pleasure quarters could always retaliate, this time it's different. The one opposing them is the Emperor, the current Son of Heaven.
Could the brothel really send people to cause trouble in the palace? The Imperial Guards and the Embroidered Uniform Guards are not to be trifled with.
"If he sends more people, we'll just have to accept the challenge."
He Yi nodded, agreeing with Cen Ang's words.
Inside the county school, Huo Xiaolong, whose eyes were barely open, forced himself to listen as Feng Yuandao continued to give instructions.
The triennial scientific expedition is about to begin, and this time, two teenagers from Class A can go and test the waters.
Li Jian seemed a little uninterested, constantly rubbing the book in his hands.
"What's wrong with you? I noticed you seemed distracted during class just now," Huo Xiaolong asked, sitting down next to Li Jian.
The little girl didn't want to hide anything, and said while resting her chin on her hand.
"I also want to go on a scientific expedition..."
Women of the Great Yan Dynasty were not allowed to take the imperial examinations, so what was the point of the books they read? If they didn't have power, how could they fulfill their promise to their grandfather?
Having been with Hua Luan for so long, Huo Panlijian was very clear about the benefits that power brings. If she had power, it would be many times easier for her to do things.
When the time comes, as long as she climbs high enough, she can help Miss Huo fulfill her wishes.
Seeing his friend's dejected expression, Huo Xiaolong took her hand and led her through her first experience of skipping class.
Hou Xiangxiang and Da Ni'er watched the two elope and followed closely behind, also saying to Sun Zixi...
"Remember to cover for us."
The little girl, who wasn't very tall either, rolled her eyes to the sky. "You four are running away at once. Do you think the teacher is blind?"
And unfortunately, the shortest one is missing. Whenever Wang Dani'er and Huo Panlijian run out alone, they become smaller targets.
Four little girls ran up the newly built city wall. The city wall in Pingyang County was built very, very high this time, thanks to Huo Xiaolong's cement. As a result, the little girl's wallet became very bulging.
Normally, people aren't allowed to run up the city wall to play, but coincidentally, today the guard on duty is Li Wei, and besides, they all know about the relationship between Fengyue Tower and the prefect. So let's go play, we can do it secretly.
"What are you doing here, Long'er?" Hou Xiangxiang asked, panting slightly, as she tried to keep up with Huo Xiaolong's pace.
The little boy, holding Huo Panli's hand, raised his finger and pointed towards the capital, replying...
"I'll let Li Jian watch over the capital."
"See that? That's the capital city."
Huo Panli nodded, and Huo Xiaolong continued.
"One day, I will make you stand on the throne!"
If someone else had said that, the little girl might have thought it was just a joke, but it was different when it was Huo Xiaolong; he took it seriously.
She believed that one day, she would stand in the Golden Palace, holding a scepter, just as her husband had said.
"What are you going to the Golden Palace for?" the little girl continued to ask.
"To become an official," Huo Xiaolong replied.
"I want to go too!"
"You want to be an official too?" the little dumpling asked.
"Yeah, why wouldn't I want to?"
"Do you like reading? You just want to be an official!"
“I like it! I like reading medical books. I’ll become the head of the Imperial Medical Academy. I heard my father say that the emperor sometimes says he wants the Imperial Medical Academy to be buried with him. If he dares to make me die with him, I’ll poison him and use witchcraft on him so we can all die together.”
"..."
Huo Xiaolong silently vowed to himself, "I will never say such a thing again, and I will never let Hou Xiangxiang play with Master Miao and Sister Liuxu again."
"Where is Da Ni'er? What is Da Ni'er's wish?"
The little girl looked at the sky in the direction of the capital, then turned back to look at the vast grassland behind her, and said...
"I want to be with you all forever, anywhere is fine. With my parents and you, that's enough."
It doesn't matter where we go or what we do.
The key is who is around you.
The greatest joy in life is doing different things with the same people.
"And what about you, Long'er?" Hou Xiangxiang asked.
Huo Xiaolong didn't say anything upon hearing this, only smiled, her small fists clenched. To be honest, she really had no interest in becoming the supreme ruler. Making sure people were fed and clothed was a good start, even if it meant beginning in Pingyang County. Once she did well and built a reputation, people would naturally flock to her.
But……
Cen's mother had some business in the capital, and it seemed that her own mother's home was also in the capital.
Let's go, let's all go together.
That's fine.
