"Duoduo, don't listen to Lianqiao. You must study the book 'Rules for Women' that your eldest sister gave you carefully. When your eldest sister comes next time, she will test you." Lianxiang said seriously, her eyes full of worry, as if she was very afraid that Yun Duoduo would be as naughty as her fifth and sixth sisters when she grew up.
"Duoduo, you should grow up quickly so that you can go to Shu with Grandmother Nangong in the future and play shuttlecock together!" Lianrong tugged at the two little tufts on Yun Duoduo's head.
"I hope that when I see you next time, Duoduo will have more hair!" Lianrong joked.
"You two have no sense of propriety at all." Lianxiang shook her head helplessly.
"Don't worry, eldest sister, fifth sister, sixth sister!" Yun Duoduo's gaze swept over Lianxiang, Lianrong, and Lianqiao in turn.
"Duoduo, you'll grow up quickly!" She stood on tiptoe and hugged her older sisters.
"You must come and visit Duoduo often in the future!"
"Yes, yes, I know, I will definitely write to you."
"Brother Jinzhi, take good care of Sister Duoduo!" Lian Jiucheng said to Jin Jinzhi, who had been standing silently behind Yun Duoduo.
"Don't worry, Jiucheng. With me here, Duoduo will be safe."
Lianrong glanced at Jin Jinzhi, who noticed someone was watching her and turned to look. Lianrong quickly looked away.
The little ones huddled together, reluctant to part, while Nangong Rui and Wang Fengru said their goodbyes with swift and decisive action.
"Alright, you can go now. Next time you come, bring me some good food. Don't be stingy with the grain from your crops, give me more." Nangong Rui patted Wang Fengru on the shoulder.
"I know, I know, why are you rushing me? You too, next time I come, plant the millet peppers for us in advance. The food in Nanyang is tasteless!" Wang Fengru licked her lips. She was very happy to live with her old friends in Nanyang, but she really missed the chefs in the Shu Kingdom palace.
"If there aren't any bird's eye chilies, I won't come next time!"
“Yes, yes, I’ll have you plant them. I’ll have someone plant them right away!” Nangong Rui nodded and grasped Wang Fengru’s hand.
"When Duoduo is a little older, bring her to Shu. This child hasn't seen the beautiful scenery of Shu yet!"
"I know, I know, you're so long-winded."
As the group was about to leave, Yun Beiming spurred his horse and galloped to Lian Qingcheng's side.
"Qingcheng, are you willing to stay in Beiliang?" Yun Beiming asked Lian Qingcheng very urgently.
"Your Highness, what are you saying?" Lian Qingcheng's face suddenly turned red. She looked at the people around her, and the maids around her quickly turned away.
"If you are willing, let us get married today!" Yun Beiming reached out to hold Lian Qingcheng's hand, but his hand stopped in mid-air.
[Oh, Third Imperial Uncle, you're really straightforward!]
Yun Duoduo kept glancing this way. She had heard before that the Third Imperial Uncle had stayed in Shu for many years because of this beautiful Princess.
However, this princess is truly beautiful, not just beautiful, but also the kind of glamorous and sexy.
"Yun Beiming, what nonsense are you spouting!" Lian Qingcheng's face turned even redder with anger.
"Qingcheng, I can't accompany you to Shu this time. Here are some antidote pills and medicine to prevent colds. The weather is getting colder, so please don't get sick, or I will be heartbroken." Yun Beiming stuffed a small box into Lian Qingcheng's hand.
"Stop rambling on, who wants your medicine!" That's what she said, but Lian Qingcheng gripped the medicine box tightly, her eyes reddening.
"Qingcheng, two years from now, I will come to Shu to find you."
"For the next two years, I will stay in the palace to teach Duoduo medicine. When my niece grows up, I will go to the Shu Kingdom to propose marriage to the emperor!"
"Qingcheng, you must write to me!"
As they spoke, Wang Fengru, Lian Qingcheng, Lian Jiucheng, Lian Xiang, and others boarded the carriage one after another.
Looking at Yun Beiming's somewhat sad and lonely figure, Yun Duoduo felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
She really didn't want the two lovers to be unable to be together because of her.
However, the Third Prince stayed to teach her medicine out of his love for her. If she could learn quickly, the Third Prince might be able to leave the capital sooner and go to Zhun to find his beloved.
However, she just observed that the Third Prince Yun Beiming and the Eldest Princess Lian Qingcheng had feelings for each other, and it wasn't just the Third Prince's unrequited love. So why hadn't they gotten together after all these years?
...
Today, Ah Xiang did not stay by Yun Duoduo's side, but went to see Nan Fei off.
"Your Highness, this is some dry food and fruit that I have prepared. If Your Highness does not mind, you can eat it on the road." Ah Xiang handed a brown package to Yun Jin.
"Thank you very much, Miss Xiang." Miao Nanyan nodded in gratitude.
"Go and check if everything is prepared," Miao Nanyan instructed Yun Jin and Xiang Ling to check the contents of the carriage.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Seeing that the two maids had walked away, Miao Nanyan asked with slight worry, "Third Prince..."
"The Third Prince is fully recovered, Your Highness Consort Nan, please rest assured. I will absolutely not mention anything about the Third Prince's situation, so as not to cause you any trouble. The princess and I are grateful to Your Highness for saving our lives regarding the Third Prince's situation."
After saying that, Ah Xiang was about to kneel down and kowtow.
"Miss A Xiang, get up quickly!" Miao Nanyan hurriedly stepped forward to help A Xiang up.
"I am a descendant of a medical clan, and healing the sick and saving lives is what I should do," Miao Nanyan said calmly.
"Since the Third Prince is alright, that's good. The little princess is also a blessed person, and her future will surely be smooth sailing."
"Thank you for your kind words, Consort Nan."
"By the way, the journey from Nanyang to Beiliang is fraught with danger. Your Highness may wish to carry this dagger with you. It can be used for self-defense in times of crisis." Ah Xiang placed a brown dagger in Miao Nanyan's hand.
"Okay." Miao Nanyan tucked the dagger into her boot. She didn't know how to use daggers or swords; if she used one during a fight, she might hurt herself.
However, it was, after all, someone's good intention.
"If we have the chance to meet again in the future..." Miao Nanyan looked at the tall city gate of Nanyang. The weather was gloomy today, which added a touch of desolation.
Miao Nanyan paused, sighing inwardly. She was an unfavored concubine in Beiliang, while the little princess was the most beloved person in Nanyang. The Grandmaster liked this child, so what chance would they have to meet again in the future?
Although they hadn't spent much time together, she felt a strong connection with the little baby. The baby seemed to know a lot, and Ah Xiang was very considerate. During her few days in Nanyang, she had experienced a great deal of warmth.
Will she have her own children in the future?
