The next morning, Xiao Yao got dressed and looked back to see that Xiao Yuan had turned the bed upside down.
"Ruyi, what are you doing?" Although the princess is your aunt, there must be a limit to everything, and you can't treat yourself as an outsider.
"Sister, the sachet you gave me is gone. I can't find it no matter how hard I try. What should I do?" Xiao Yuan's hair was disheveled and her clothes were in disarray. She looked at the tragic scene and then at Qianyu, who shook her head to indicate that she had really lost something. Xiao Yao sighed, walked over to Xiao Yuan and comforted her, "It's lost, so let it be. Sister will embroider another one for you. It's not a big deal. Don't make yourself look like a beggar."
"Really?" Xiao Yuan asked with her eyes sparkling. The reason why she made such a big scene was that, on the one hand, she really wanted to find the sachet carefully, and on the other hand, she hoped that her sister would compensate her with another one out of pity for her.
"Really, you can get up now, little beggar."
Everyone in the room laughed. The young ladies have such a good relationship. It would be great if it could be like this forever!
"Don't tell the princess about the sachet, okay?"
"Why?" Xiao Yuan was planning to put on his clothes and go to complain! There was actually a thief in the courtyard. How could anyone live here peacefully?
"If the princess knew we lost something here, she would definitely investigate it. It's not appropriate to mobilize a large force just for the two of us. Besides, we have to live here for a while, and it would be bad to offend these people. The sachet I embroidered has no mark, so it doesn't matter if someone picks it up."
In the past, Xiao Yao always liked to embroider a few words, but Xiao Yuan was in a hurry to finish the work, so she didn't have time to embroider it. Unexpectedly, the bad thing turned into a good thing, and she didn't have to worry about anyone picking up Xiao Yao.
"Sister, do you think it might have been picked up by the prince's cousin?"
"No." If he picked it up, he would definitely throw it far away. Even if he didn't throw it away, there was a high possibility that he would send it to the princess. Xiao Yao believed that he would not keep it for himself as a souvenir. Although Yun Yichen and she were sworn enemies, Xiao Yao believed that he was a man who valued his status and would not do such a disgusting thing.
The sachet was probably picked up by a servant or a maid. After all, the material was top-notch, and the silk thread was good, so it would be nice to keep it to decorate something!
After digesting this matter internally, they officially started their day. Although Mr. Zhao and Nanny Ruan were not there, the princess's teacher came with her. Yin Qianhua recommended two more students to her without any hesitation. As a result, the Xiao sisters and the princess became classmates, studying together and learning talents together.
The teacher finished teaching the three children early that day. Xiao Yao thought that the teacher had something to do, and the three of them planned to go through the garden and go back to the room to continue practicing calligraphy.
"Ruonan, Ping'an, Ruyi, come here." In the pavilion at the end of the garden, Yin Qianhua was wearing a lake green dress, giving people a cool and comfortable feeling.
"Aunt, we got out of school early today." Xiao Yuanmei was so happy to have an extra half day off.
"Are you two so happy too?" My niece is a person who can't hide her feelings. Every child would be happy if she didn't have to study and could play, but apart from Ruyi, there are probably not many people who dare to show it openly.
"We still have to practice calligraphy." One is to have a teacher in class, and the other is to study on your own. Anyway, you have to learn both. I don't know why my sister is so happy.
"Come and sit for a while." The three of them found a place to sit. Yin Qianhua then asked them if they were used to the living conditions, if they were satisfied with the food, and if it was difficult for them to learn what the teacher was teaching.
Xiao Yuan answered every question, and Yun Ruonan remained quiet, but she knew the three of them were companions. She listened patiently and stood by the Xiao sisters, faring much better than before. Yin Qianhua still remembered that her daughter was lucky enough to just nod and say hello when she first met someone. Who would have thought she would be able to get along well with others, eating and playing together?
"Does Ping'an like it here?" Yin Qianhua turned around and asked Xiao Yao.
"It's great here. The princess is attentive and considerate, and the princess doesn't mind our noise. There's no place more comfortable than here." Xiao Yao said very objectively. The princess is really good to herself and Ruyi, but no matter how good it is, it's not her home. She wonders how her grandfather and second uncle are doing, and how her father and mother are doing now.
What to do? There are still several brothers and Aqi... I can’t think about it anymore. I really want to go home, what should I do?
"Ping'an, what's wrong with you?" Yin Qianhua couldn't help but ask when she saw Xiao Yao was distracted.
"Everyone says I'm the apple of my grandfather's eye, but seven days have passed and he hasn't even spoken to me." Xiao Yao raised her arm and sniffed it, then continued, "Do you think this piece of my beloved flesh has gone bad and been discarded? Or maybe he's angry, otherwise how could he ignore me for such a long time?"
Xiao Yao finally understood why her father and third uncle would reveal resentment from time to time. Xiao Yao had experienced the feeling of missing her loved ones and wanting to be missed by them over and over again in the past few days.
"Let me smell the taste of my beloved meat to see if it has changed." The voice was still as loud and the steps were still as vigorous. The person who arrived was General Xiao, whom Xiao Yao had been thinking about for seven days.
"Grandfather, you're here." Xiao Yao jumped off the stone bench and strode towards General Xiao, with a smile on her face that was more brilliant than flowers.
"Old General, it seems that the relationship between you and your grandchildren is really deep!" Everyone present could see that Xiao Yao was radiating joy from the inside out. She was not as happy as she was even when she met Tong Mingyu.
Yun Yichen, who was following behind General Xiao, felt that Xiao Yao's smile was so dazzling. It was just a meeting between grandparents and grandchildren, so why should they be so happy?
"This old minister greets the princess." General Xiao first bowed to Yin Qian, then lowered his body and waited with a smile for his granddaughter to throw herself into his arms.
"Grandpa, please sit down. Does your arm still hurt? Have you seen a doctor? I'll go ask Doctor Lin to check you out, okay?" Xiao Yao raised her little face and asked very seriously.
"Princess, tell me, how can I not feel sorry for a child like this? Ruyi came to let grandfather see, and I can see that my little granddaughter is also very happy today." General Xiao looked at the two granddaughters in front of him, his heart full of happiness. He just wanted to live with his granddaughters. If that blind boy dared to bully his granddaughters in the future, he would never let him off easily.
"I am very happy because my grandfather is here!" And I have earned an extra half day of vacation. It would be even better if I could go out for a walk.
"Please take a seat, old general. You and your grandchildren haven't seen each other for a while. Have a good chat. Achen, Ruonan, let's go back first." Yin Qianhua stood up and walked out of the pavilion with her daughter who was looking back and her son who was obviously in a bad mood.
It was not until this time that Xiao Yao noticed Yun Yichen's figure. Seeing his gloomy face, Xiao Yao guessed that this guy might have such an expression because she did not greet him. She was in a good mood today, so she would not bother with this person with a bad temper.
Xiao Yao gave Yun Yichen, who was turning around, a big smile. This was definitely a surprise to Yun Yichen. He could hardly believe his eyes.
"Young Master, be careful." Xiao Anzi stepped forward and stood between his master and the pillar. It was so scary. What happened to the young master today? He didn't even see such a thick pillar in front of him. If he bumped into it, he would be seriously derelict in his duty!
Although it hurts a little now, Xiao Anzi feels very fortunate that his master is safe and sound.
"Puff." This was the first time Xiao Yao had seen Yun Yichen lose his composure like this! She certainly wasn't so narcissistic as to think that Yun Yichen had lost his composure because he was mesmerized by her. In contrast, she believed that Yun Yichen was frightened by her sudden action.
I will use this method more often in the future, make a surprise attack or something, and scare him whenever I have the chance. Otherwise, I will be the one who suffers every time, which is too discouraging.
Yun Yichen was a martial artist and had better hearing than most people. Of course he heard Xiao Yao's gloating laughter. This little girl was getting worse and worse, and her courage was growing. She even dared to tease the prince of a royal palace. Shouldn't he put on some airs and let her know who was the host and who was the guest?
Xiao Anzi glanced in the direction of Xiao Yao, then looked at his master cautiously, and complained in his heart: No wonder the master doesn't like Miss Xiao, this is too infuriating. It would be fine if you didn't show any concern, but you actually dared to make fun of the prince, which is simply lawless.
Considering that General Xiao was still there, Xiao Anzi didn't dare to glare at Xiao Yao openly, but in his heart he had already labeled the other party as unpleasant.
After carefully asking his two granddaughters about their daily lives, General Xiao remembered the purpose of his visit. He put away his joking face and asked them seriously: "Grandfather is asking you now, do you want to live in the Xiao family forever?"
Of course, she thought about it. Where can she find such a harmonious family and where can she find such loving family? But Xiao Yao also understood that girls will get married sooner or later. How many years can she stay at home? Eight or nine years, ten years is impossible. If it were in modern times, no one would laugh at her even if she didn't get married, but in ancient times, this was not allowed.
"Yes! I want to live in Yaoyuan Building with my sister forever!" Xiao Yuan said what was in his heart.
"Safe!"
"No matter where I go in the future, I will never forget grandpa. I will miss you, grandma, and everyone in the family." Xiao Yao hugged her grandfather's arm and rubbed it. Grandpa was so strange today. Why would he ask such a question!
"Then if you can stay in the Xiao family, you would be willing to do so, right?" General Xiao was particularly persistent, as if he had to get an answer today.
"My granddaughter is willing." Since her grandfather insisted on hearing the answer, she would just satisfy him. As for whether the wish would come true, Xiao Yao didn't want to think about it too much.
"Grandfather knows what you mean. I will leave today. Once you are safely recovered from your injuries, I will come to pick you up in person."
"It's a deal." Not knowing where her grandfather was going in such a hurry, Xiao Yao had no choice but to let go of his hand and let him leave.
Looking at the receding figure, Xiao Yao thought: Grandfather is a little abnormal today. Xiao Yuan thought: I forgot to tell Grandfather not to forget to bring me snacks from Yixiangyuan next time I come.
