Chapter 989 Chapter 989, the familiar feeling remains unchanged
"Mo Rong, do you still remember me?"
Daohua smiled as she looked at Xiao Morong, the eldest son of the Fourth Prince. After not seeing him for a few years, the former baby had grown into a handsome young man.
Xiao Moreng quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Moreng greets Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang."
Xiao Yeyang smiled and nodded, and Daohua stepped forward to help him up: "Good boy, get up quickly, you must be exhausted after coming all the way here."
Because she had saved Xiao Morong, the Fourth Prince's Mansion had a good relationship with them, and she also liked Morong very much.
Xiao Morong looked at his aunt, who had hardly changed from what he remembered, and smiled and shook his head: "To answer your question, aunt, I'm fine, but my other brothers are a little tired."
Daohua pulled Xiao Moleng to sit down and asked the maid to bring some fruits. "You chose the wrong time to come here. June and July are the hottest time in Xiliang. Did you get sick from the heat on the way?"
After all, he is the son of the prince, so you should still be polite to him.
Hearing this, Xiao Morong couldn't help but complain in his heart.
When to come or whether to come is not decided by the Fourth Prince's Mansion. His father and mother don't want him to travel in such hot weather, but what can he do if other uncles and aunts want to come at this time?
If the Fourth Prince's Mansion does not follow everyone, it will definitely be accused of being unfilial.
Although thinking about this in his heart, Xiao Morong's face was very respectful: "We have an imperial physician accompanying us all the way. We often drink medicinal soup to relieve the heat, so we haven't suffered from heatstroke or fallen ill."
Daohua smiled and nodded. "That's good. You didn't know that I just received a letter from your grandfather, the emperor, and I was a little worried when I heard you were coming. The journey from the capital to Xiliang is long and difficult. Fortunately, you have arrived safely now."
"By the way, how are your father and mother? Are they all in good health?"
"Thank you for your concern, my father and mother are both doing well."
Daohua talked to Xiao Morong about some light-hearted family matters, which could effectively relieve Xiao Morong's discomfort and nervousness when he first arrived at the palace.
Look, in just a short while, Xiao Morong became less restrained and more relaxed.
Xiao Yeyang, who was standing by, was silently observing Xiao Moleng and discovered that although the eldest son of the Fourth Prince was young, there was nothing wrong with his interpersonal skills.
Other families sent their youngest sons, and the purpose was obvious. Only the Fourth Prince sent his eldest son.
According to the laws of Daxia, the eldest son is to inherit the family business. From this, it can be seen that among the several princes who sent their children here, only the Fourth Prince was more sincere in wanting to honor his uncle.
Because of this, Xiao Yeyang had a much better impression of Xiao Morong.
After Daohua and Xiao Morong had finished their pleasantries, Xiao Yeyang finally asked, "You're turning 11 this year, right?"
Xiao Morong nodded: "Yes, Uncle Wang."
Xiao Yeyang: "You have a strong body, but are you practicing martial arts?"
Xiao Morong nodded again. Before coming here, his father had told him that Uncle Weiyuan was a martial arts expert. When he came to Xiliang, besides being filial to the Duke of Fuguo, he should also find more opportunities to ask Uncle Weiyuan for guidance.
His father has an ear disease, so the future of the Fourth Prince's Mansion has to be shouldered by him. With superb martial arts, no matter what he does in the future, it will be beneficial and harmless.
"In reply to Uncle Wang, my nephew has been practicing martial arts since he was five years old, and has mastered the internal martial arts."
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "It can be seen that your father is very attentive to your teachings. Now that you have come to Xiliang, you must not slack off. You must persevere in your martial arts training and never interrupt it. If you have any questions in the future, you can come and ask me."
Xiao Morong's face lit up with joy, and he quickly stood up and bowed: "Thank you, Uncle Wang. I will keep your teachings in mind."
Daohua smiled and interjected, "Well, there's still a long way to go. It's not too late to talk about this later. Morong must have been exhausted from the journey, so let him go down and wash up first."
Xiao Morong also wanted to rest quickly, but he had not forgotten his mission in Xiliang. He hesitated and said, "Thank you for your kindness, aunt. But should I go and pay my respects to the Duke of Fuguo first?"
Daohua smiled and said, "There's no rush. The old man is still recuperating. He takes a nap at this time every day. You can rest first today. You will be able to see him at breakfast tomorrow."
Xiao Morong said no more: "Thank you, aunt, for clearing up my doubts. I will listen to you."
Daohua liked obedient children, and her face smiled more. "The yard you live in has been cleaned up a long time ago. Live well in the mansion in the future. Tell your aunt if you need anything. Treat this as your own home and don't be restrained."
Xiao Morong smiled and bowed: "Thank you, Auntie. I'm sorry for causing trouble to you and Uncle Wang."
Daohua laughed: "You are much more polite than when you were a child."
When Xiao Morong heard Daohua talking about her childhood, he smiled shyly. He is an adult now, so how can he stick to his aunt like he did when he was a child?
Daohua didn't say anything else and asked Guyu to send Xiao Morong to Laiyi Hall.
Come to the funeral home.
Looking at the lush bamboo forest in the yard, Xiao Morong liked it very much.
Seeing this, Guyu smiled and said, "The princess said that Your Highness loved bamboo when he was a child, so she specially prepared this bamboo yard in the mansion for Your Highness."
After hearing this, Xiao Morong's eyes flashed with joy: "Auntie, you actually still remember this. You're really worried."
Guyu smiled and replied, "As long as Your Highness is comfortable, my princess will be happy."
After leading Xiao Morong into the main room, Guyu left.
When only the people from the Fourth Prince's Mansion were left in the room, Xiao Morong stopped being tense and stretched his body to sit on the chair.
The wet nurse who came with him hurried forward and poured Xiao Morong a cup of tea: "Your Highness, the hot water is ready. Do you want to take a bath?"
Xiao Morong took a few sips of tea before speaking: "Don't be in a hurry." As he spoke, he looked around at the people in the room. These people were the eunuchs and maids who served him closely.
"Mammy, have you arranged everything for the others?"
Compared with his other cousins, the number of servants he brought this time was not that many, but including the guards, the number was not small either.
Nanny Fan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. Everything has been arranged. The funeral home we're staying in is in a great location, facing the front yard. The guards live in the courtyard in the front yard, just across the wall from us."
After hearing this, Xiao Morong nodded and said, "Thank you for your concern, Aunt." At the same time, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
On the way here, they received news that Uncle Wang and others did not want them to live in the Weiyuan Palace. For this reason, he was very worried along the way.
The other brothers all have relatives in Liangdu, but he doesn't.
Fortunately, when they met again, his aunt was still as kind to him as she was when they were children. He could still feel a sense of closeness from her. Although Uncle Wang looked a little stern, he was not afraid of him.
They were still the same as he remembered them, so familiar.
Nanny Fan nodded in agreement: "The princess's arrangements for us are indeed appropriate." In the courtyard, Princess Xiao did not arrange for anyone else except those who swept the yard and guarded the gate. This showed that she did not want to interfere with the young master's daily life, which made her feel a lot more relaxed.
Before coming, she was afraid that Princess Xiao would control the young master and make life difficult for them, the servants. Now it seems that they were overthinking it.
Xiao Morong thought for a moment and said, "We have already disturbed Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang by coming to the palace. You must not cause trouble to the palace in the future. If I find out, I will punish you severely."
The people in the room nodded in agreement.
Since Xiao Morong was five years old, the Fourth Prince began to personally teach him how to behave in society. In the Fourth Prince's Mansion, no one dared to disobey Xiao Morong just because he was young.
