Princess Yi did not respond to Liu Mama's words and continued walking slowly toward her daughter.
"Second brother, I think little sister is fine as she is now. We live in our own fiefdom, not in the capital city full of royalty and nobles. There's no need to learn those rules, is there?" The fifth prince, Anjunwang, muttered softly as he followed behind.
Upon hearing this, the second prince, Prince Hua, glanced at Liu, the old nanny beside his mother, and replied in a low voice, "I'll find an opportunity to speak with Father and Mother privately later."
Seeing that his second brother agreed with him, Prince An was very happy. Indeed, Liu Mama was a person given to him by the Empress Dowager. Over the years in the Prince's mansion, Liu Mama had relied on this to put on a high and mighty attitude.
Within the Prince's residence, Granny Liu only became slightly more restrained in front of the Prince and his mother.
As for the three brothers born to their mother, even if their words and actions were slightly inappropriate, it was not considered out of line at all. However, if she saw or knew about it, she would definitely give them a lecture.
Liu Mama was even stricter with Consort Jiang Wanyu and her two children; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she was nitpicking.
"Mother, second brother, third brother," Yuheng greeted them as soon as she saw them.
Princess Yi smiled and agreed. After greeting Hong Xiaoduo first, she took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the beads of sweat from her daughter's forehead, which had been sweating from playing.
Yuheng's two older brothers also stepped forward and greeted Hong Xiaoduo very respectfully. This person who saved their sister was the great benefactor of the Prince Yi's Mansion.
"Did you rest well last night, Miss Hong?" Princess Yi had never been in contact with someone like Hong Xiaoduo before. Even though her husband had told her that she was straightforward and easy to talk to, she was still very comfortable.
However, Princess Yi still didn't know how to get along with this person in the most appropriate way.
In her eyes, this young lady was indeed a young girl who had not yet married, but in her heart, she was the benefactor who saved her precious daughter.
Simply repaying this great kindness with gold, silver, jewels, and other valuables is far from enough. She saved not only her daughter's life, but also her daughter's entire life, and the lives of her parents.
Otherwise, their hearts will always be missing a piece, and they will die with an irreparable regret.
She has discussed and decided with the prince to enshrine a longevity tablet for this benefactor in the Taoist temple, and to pray for his long life.
"Your Highness made such meticulous arrangements, how could I not have rested well? I slept so soundly that I'm only just waking up now," Hong Xiaoduo replied with a smile, only to notice the old woman behind the princess frowning slightly.
After entering Prince Yi's residence yesterday, the old woman stayed by Princess Yi's side, so Hong Xiaoduo didn't pay much attention to her.
But just as they walked into the garden, when Hong Xiaoduo asked Yuheng how it felt to be home, and what his impressions of his mother and brothers were, Yuheng said that everything was fine, except he didn't like the old nanny who was with his mother.
Yuheng said that the old nanny's expression made her very uncomfortable.
So, when Princess Yi and her entourage arrived, Hong Xiaoduo took a closer look and realized that the old nanny whom Yuheng had mentioned disliking was this very woman.
The old woman didn't have a particularly sharp or mean appearance, but after Hong Xiaoduo paid close attention, she felt that she resembled the head teacher from her junior high school days.
The students disliked and resisted the head of the teaching department. The reason was that his overly strict teaching methods, excessive criticism, or punitive management style easily triggered students' resistance and even fear of him.
Such a person cannot actually be defined as bad.
Because the other party feels that they are fulfilling their duty and doing what they think they should do.
At this moment, Hong Xiaoduo chose to ignore the unpleasant old nanny beside Princess Yi, who clearly disliked her as well.
Hong Xiaoduo's response made Princess Yi laugh.
The prince is absolutely right. This young lady Hong has a truly unique personality, and she doesn't seem to care about status at all.
Facing Princess Yi, he showed no sign of nervousness, restraint, or caution whatsoever; in fact, he was even more relaxed and at ease than Princess Yi herself.
"If Miss Hong needs anything, please be sure to tell me." After saying this, Princess Yi felt even more inferior to a young girl.
"Your Highness, rest assured, if there is anything I need, I will certainly not hesitate to ask," Hong Xiaoduo replied with a smile.
Princess Yi reminded her of Empress Gao; both women of noble birth were equally kind.
The two women regarded her as their benefactor, and they were truly grateful from the bottom of their hearts. They did not show any gratitude because she was a commoner woman from the martial arts world and because of the vast difference in their status. They simply wanted to repay her with money.
Although, I didn't help them out of any desire for reward or financial gain.
However, she would feel very comfortable if the people she helped treated her with sincerity and courtesy!
"Mother, is it time for lunch? I'm a little hungry," Yuheng asked, feigning embarrassment.
Hong Xiaoduo knew that this girl knew she had gotten up late and hadn't eaten breakfast, so she said that on purpose.
Princess Yi knew what was going on, but she didn't expose her daughter. Instead, she immediately ordered her maid to go to the kitchen to urge them to hurry up.
As the group hurried toward the dining hall, Prince Yi, who was entertaining Quan Jinghuai in the living room, was taken aback by the butler's words. He thought to himself, "Isn't it lunchtime yet? It's too early!"
Sitting to the side, Quan Jinghuai immediately guessed what was going on.
What else could it be? Because someone who overslept didn't eat breakfast.
