The next day, Yue Lingwan and the others woke up and had no idea what had happened. Seeing Yan Bao and Zi Yun still sleeping soundly with their arms and legs spread out, they couldn't bear to wake them up and let them sleep a little longer.
After they had cleaned up, Ziyun woke up in a daze with a messy hair, and woke up Yan Bao by the way.
Yue Lingwan combed Yan Bao's hair: "Yan Bao's hair is really good, thick and smooth, black and shiny. It doesn't get tangled when combed, and you can comb it out without hair oil."
Yue Lingwan sniffed it and said, "It smells good too!"
Yan Bao thought to himself: "I use modern shampoo. I also use this one occasionally to wash my hair. It makes it smoother, of course. But I can't use modern shampoo too often. It causes hair loss."
[Sorry, cousin, I can't let you use the shampoo. It's easy to be exposed. Ziyun and I can use it secretly. There aren't many bottles anyway. I think I can use it all in my lifetime.]
Yue Lingwan asked about it. Fortunately, she took good care of her own hair and used good medicinal herbs to wash it. However, her hair was not as fragrant and smooth as Yan Bao's. Looking at Yan Bao's refreshing hair, Yue Lingwan also wanted to stop using hair oil.
After using hair oil, my hair becomes greasy and not fresh, and I always feel like something is missing.
After they had dressed up and had breakfast, the carriage was harnessed and the horses were fed, and Yan Bao and his companions set off.
Everyone in the inn slept soundly last night and had no idea what had happened. Yan Bao and the others were exhausted last night. They had to kill someone and bury him, and they were sore all over from digging the hole.
So for the rest of the journey, Yan Bao and Zi Yun either ate or slept, either slept or ate, which scared Yue Lingwan, who thought they were not feeling well. Yan Bao waved his hands, indicating that he was just a little sleepy.
Just take a rest.
Fortunately, when he arrived in Luzhou City, Yan Bao immediately became alert.
I sent a letter to the Yue family early in the morning. Knowing that I would come today, the Yue family's steward was waiting early in the morning. It was not until dark that he saw the late carriage and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. I finally came.
The old housekeeper went to greet her: "Young Miss is back. You have worked hard on the journey. Madam is looking forward to seeing you. If she hadn't been feeling unwell, she would have come out to pick you up."
Seeing the familiar person, Yue Lingwan smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, old housekeeper."
"It's not hard. I'm happy to receive the young lady!" The old butler looked at her with a smile.
The nanny lent a hand and helped her down from the carriage.
After Yue Lingwan stood firm, she extended her hand to Yan Bao: "Yan Bao, come out. We're here. Let's go home."
Yan Bao gave his little hand to Yue Lingwan, and she carried him down with great effort. He was still a little heavy, and Yue Lingwan almost couldn't hold him.
When the housekeeper saw Yan Bao, he was stunned. Wasn’t it only the eldest lady who came back? Why was there Yan Bao as well?
Miss Yan Bao?
That Miss Yan Bao from Shen Shoufu’s family?
Princess Taining?
Thinking of this, the old housekeeper immediately bowed and said, "This old servant greets Princess Taining."
Yan Bao didn't expect that he was so considerate, and nodded with a smile.
When the old housekeeper knew that Princess Taining had arrived, he did not dare to neglect her and immediately sent someone back to inform the master and the mistress. This was Princess Taining, who was personally appointed by the emperor, so her status and position must be different.
Not only do we have to worship people, we also have to take good care of them.
The yard and other things must be cleaned properly.
The eldest lady's letter didn't mention Princess Taining's coming, so they were not prepared at all. Now they can only make arrangements in a hurry.
Luzhou City is not big, and the carriage arrived at Luzhou Prefecture in less than half an hour. Standing at the door was a middle-aged man in an official robe, and a few charming women, who were obviously concubines.
Mrs. Yue is seriously ill and can't get up at this moment.
Yue Lingwan and her companions' carriage arrived at the prefectural gate, and the old housekeeper said, "Princess, Miss, we're here."
Yue Lingwan pulled Yan Bao out of the carriage and saw Master Yue. She quickly saluted, "Dad."
"I'm glad you're back. I heard the princess is here." Lord Yue smiled as he looked at Yan Bao, who was being held by Yue Lingwan. "The princess must have had a hard time along the way."
Yan Bao waved his hand.
Ziyun spoke for her: "Master Yue, you are too polite. I am sorry to bother you at your house these few days."
"It will surely bring honor to our mansion if the princess comes here," Lord Yue said politely.
Yan Bao glanced at Zi Yun with a smile, and Zi Yun understood: "Master Yue is too polite. We are all relatives. There is no need to be so distant. From now on, just call me Princess Yan Bao."
"Okay!" Lord Yue was satisfied. He didn't expect that this little mute knew the ways of the world. After all, he was her uncle, and it would be awkward to call her "Princess" all the time.
Yan Bao glanced at the delicate beauties behind Lord Yue and raised his eyebrows.
Ziyun asked, "Are they the concubines of the mansion?"
"Yes." Lord Yue was a little embarrassed. He knew that he had a few more concubines in his backyard, but not too many. There were many concubines in the capital.
He only has five, not three wives, but five concubines, which is not excessive.
The concubines came forward one by one to pay their respects to Yan Bao, speaking in a sweet voice. Thinking that Yan Bao was just a little girl, they were a little dismissive. One concubine even looked at Yan Bao straight in the eye, wanting to see what the difference was between her, a princess, and ordinary people.
Yan Bao happened to catch her gaze and glared at her.
She was so scared that she immediately looked away and looked at Lord Yue with grievance.
Lord Yue remained calm, as if he didn't notice his aunt's pleading look.
Yan Bao laughed in his heart: "My uncle is really good at finding concubines. Each one is as pretty as a flower, delicate and charming, young and beautiful. I don't know who gave them to him."
[With all these concubines, it's no wonder they treat my aunt badly. Thinking that the Shen family couldn't take care of Luzhou, they wanted to favor their wives and eliminate their concubines?]
