And the Zhao family's little daughter has suddenly become smart. She is as beautiful as jade and adorable. I feel a warm affection for her when I see her. I can't describe how fond I am of her. I hope you can meet her when you have the chance."
The Queen was surprised: "Really? I'd like to see you. You don't have a daughter, only a son. This is not good. You should take more concubines and have more children."
The prince's eyes flickered, and he said guiltily, "I've made a note of this."
After having dinner with the Empress, the Crown Prince left. As he exited Kunning Palace, his face drooped. He asked his attendant, Eunuch Cao, "Has the child not been found yet?"
Eunuch Cao said with a bitter face, "No, a while ago we busted a gang of human traffickers. Someone saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince being abducted. He stayed there for a few days, but no one knows where he went after that. I have already sent more people to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Hey, this kid has been smart since he was young. He learns everything quickly. At only five years old, he already knows the Thousand Character Classic and can write well. Why would he suddenly want to run away?"
"This further proves that His Royal Highness is unique and extremely intelligent. Not everyone can hide from those guards, shake off so many servants, and quietly leave the palace."
The prince glared at him and said, "You mean he's so powerful that he should be proud?"
"I don't think so. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been learning martial arts from Master Wu. He knows some punches and kicks, and he runs the fastest. It's impossible for ordinary people to catch him."
The prince was worried. If he went out to play, he had to keep it a secret and also had to appease the princess. Life was so difficult.
If the Emperor and the Empress found out that their eldest grandson was missing, wouldn’t the capital be in chaos?
…
Zhao Letong didn't care about these things. She saw so many rewards at home early in the morning, most of which were for her, and her face was full of joy.
[All of this is mine, all good stuff. Oh, big abalone, it's full of spirit. Stew it, stew it, eat it right away.]
These clothes are flashy and useless. Sell them for money. They are not as useful as ginseng.
[Why would a child wear so many beads? Sell them and buy tonics. Strength is more important than beauty.]
Zhao Youning and Xiao Shanjian came early in the morning and waited for her to go to the clan school. The teacher had asked her several times.
Hearing his sister-in-law's thoughts, Zhao Youning gave orders to the housekeeper to handle it.
The nurse tried to stop him, saying, "These are all gifts from the palace. You can't sell them privately. It would be disrespectful. You'd better put them in the storehouse."
Fifth Master, please stop fooling around with the young lady. Let this old servant handle it."
Xiao Shanjian said, "As long as it doesn't have a royal emblem, it can be sold."
The nurse's face turned bad: "What do you know? The young lady is kind enough to let you stay at home, but that doesn't mean you are the master of the house. Be aware of your status."
Zhao Letong climbed up from the chair, stepped onto the table, and said coldly: "Nanny, you should pay attention to your status. Am I the master or are you the master?"
The nurse blushed and forced a smile, saying, "Miss, this old slave has arranged everything according to customary practice. I have no selfish motives and it's all for your own good."
"Who are you? You think you can make the decision for me? Go ask my sister-in-law to come over. She can always make the decision, right?"
The nurse was shocked and said, "I know I'm wrong. Grandma is in charge of all the family affairs. Please don't bother her with such trivial matters."
"Well, you have a point. Let's deal with it all at once."
This wet nurse can no longer be kept. Zhao Letong doesn't like others interfering in her life.
She was no longer as foolish as before, allowing these servants to do as they pleased.
Xiao Shanjian nodded secretly. The little girl was indeed a master who could kill human traffickers. Anyone who bullied her because she was young was really seeking his own death.
He ran away from home because he didn't like everyone around him giving him orders and treating him like a child.
He had had enough of not being able to decide what books to read, what clothes to wear, or what to eat.
He was precocious, started his education at the age of three, read a lot of books, and had his own opinions. However, people around him always told him that he was a child and should be obedient. Xiao Shanjian's ears were callused from hearing them.
Zhao Youning was still in shock, blinking his big eyes. How could he ask his mother to make the decision for him?
What are you doing?
Mrs. Zhao left the stewards behind and hurried over. Seeing Zhao Letong standing so high, she quickly carried him down: "What if he falls? Why are you throwing a tantrum and just watching him do nothing?"
Zhao Letong waved his hands, refusing her hug, and crossed his arms over his chest, looking very imposing. Unfortunately, his face was too tender, making people feel that he was cute, not scary.
"Sister-in-law, I'm grown up now and don't need a wet nurse anymore. You can take her away. I have the final say over my yard. Emerald coral is all I need."
The nurse knelt down and begged for mercy: "Grandma, I know I was wrong. Please don't let me go. I have lost my monthly allowance and my family can't even afford to eat. I have no way to survive. Please have mercy on me and give me a chance."
