Yin Qianhua was dressed in a purple dress, gentle and beautiful, standing outside the main hall door gracefully and dignifiedly, as if waiting for the arrival of the Xiao family. Next to her stood a boy with a rather imposing manner. If Xiao Yao were to describe him, he would be Yun Yichen, a wild, arrogant and cool boy.
"Your humble servant pays her respects to Princess Jing." Qin and her daughters-in-law bowed.
"Greetings to the prince."
"We're family, why be so polite? Let's get up quickly." Yin Qianhua said with a friendly smile.
Xiao Yao secretly curled her lips when no one else was looking. What a shabby rule! If it was just a bow to Princess Jing, she could barely accept it, but it was really irritating for the whole family, young and old, to bow to a child. Why should my grandmother, who was in her fifties, and my mother and second aunt, be so respectful to a child? It was so unreasonable! It was so unreasonable!
"Little girl, don't you remember me?" Seeing that Xiao Yao had no intention of greeting her actively, Yin Qianhua couldn't help but ask.
The Xiao family members were unaware of the situation and didn't know which girl in their family Princess Jing was talking to. Tong Mingyu understood that Princess Jing must be calling Xiao Yuan. After all, her niece and Princess Jing were related. But Xiao Yuan shook her head vigorously at her grandmother and aunts, saying that she was innocent.
Could it be a daughter? How could she know Princess Jing?
The reality did not allow Tong Mingyu to continue to think wildly, so she quickly reminded her daughter that the right thing to do was to answer the princess's questions seriously.
Yun Yichen turned his head and looked at his mother helplessly, and saw that his mother's eyes were full of stars, looking at the little girl like a cat that had not seen fish for a few days and suddenly found a small fresh fish.
"The princess is asking you a question!" Tong Mingyu reminded her daughter in her ear.
"Ah, what?" Xiao Yao, who was lamenting the unfairness of her fate, asked blankly after her thoughts were disrupted. Her big eyes were full of confusion and puzzlement. She tilted her head, raised her little face, and opened her mouth slightly, looking so adorable.
"Hehe, hehe" Yin Qianhua was so adorable by Xiao Yao's look that she laughed out loud.
Yun Yichen thought to himself, this girl seems smart and quirky, but it turns out she is also stupid. Look at her expression. However, she looks a little more pleasing to the eye than when he first met her.
"Can you tell me your name now?"
"In reply to your Majesty, my name is Xiao Yao, and everyone in my family calls me Ping An."
"Then I'll keep you safe from now on, okay?"
"Ah?" You are the high and mighty princess, and to you I am just a child with no relatives or friends. Is it necessary to bring us closer together like this?
"What? You don't want to?" Yin Qianhua liked to see Xiao Yao's conflicted look the most. Her little mouth pouted and her curved brows frowned, which was very funny.
"Why wouldn't I? Aren't names meant to be called? I'm just a little surprised. I thought you'd forgotten me after all these days!"
"How could that be? We both have a common secret." Yin Qianhua raised her eyebrows, her face full of an expression that said everything.
Secrets, sharing a secret with the princess meant their relationship was truly special! Everyone turned their curious, inquiring gazes towards Xiao Yao, with only Yun Yichen snorting coldly and turning his head away.
"Haha, the weather is really nice today, with beautiful weather and bright sunshine. The scenery in Biyun Temple is also pleasant and beautiful, don't you think so, Princess?" It's just a small thing, why do you still remember it? If my mother or brother knew what I did that day, it's hard to predict what would happen next. I'm sure you will be punished by copying the "Instructions for Women" several times.
So Xiao Yao made small talk while winking at Princess Jing, saying, "You must keep this a secret for me!"
"Mrs. Xiao, please go and burn incense first. We'll sit down and talk later." Yin Qianhua also responded with a wink.
After receiving the signal, Xiao Yao silently said "thank you" with a bright smile.
Entering the main hall, Qin and the others solemnly and reverently kowtowed to the Buddha, added incense oil, and prayed for amulets. By the time all this was done, nearly half an hour had passed. Just as Qin was about to head to the back hall, Yu Ma, beside her, hurried forward and said, "Princess Jing has been waiting in the side hall for a while. Look..."
"Oh, how could I forget such an important thing? Don't look at it anymore. Go see the princess first."
"Finally, I don't have to stay here anymore," Xiao Yuan said with a sense of relief. The hall felt oppressive, and the incense was too strong. Xiao Yuan suspected that if he didn't leave now, he wouldn't even have an appetite for lunch, which would be a real loss.
"Shh" Xiao Yao quickly signaled her sister to speak in a lower voice, and she must not let her grandmother hear this.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. Please forgive me." Seeing Yin Qianhua, Qin spoke apologetically. It was all her fault that she was too focused on praying and actually forgot about Princess Jing. If she offended the noble because of this, she didn't know if it would affect her sons' future!
"I'm here to drink tea and rest. Why would I wait so long?"
"Let's go to the side room and talk." Tong Mingyu, who had just walked in after arranging things, bowed slightly and said.
So everyone walked out of the side hall and headed towards the wing rooms.
"Princess, grandmother, can my sister and I go for a walk in the yard?" Xiao Yuan was really tired of going out of this house and entering that house, so he made a small request while everyone was on the way.
"You have to call me aunt from now on, okay?" Yin Qianhua was not familiar with the child of her cousin, but the little girl was very cute and it was easy for people to feel close to her, so she mentioned it.
"Aunt Princess?"
"What do you mean by aunt Princess? Just call her aunt. You can call Ping An that too.
"How can this be possible?" Qin refused verbally, but she was already very happy in her heart. If she could become related to the princess, there would be no need to worry about the two children not having a bright future.
Yin Qianhua said this not only because of her relationship with Xiao Yuan, but also to repay General Xiao for teaching his son martial arts. Another reason was that she liked Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yuan nodded confusedly, but Xiao Yao just smiled and didn't respond.
"Aunt Princess, can my sister and I go now?"
After going out, he found a relative. Xiao Yuan was a little confused about the relationship between himself and the lady in front of him. But looking at his grandmother's expression, it shouldn't be a bad thing, so he decided to just be confused for now!
"Go, but don't go too far. We'll go have vegetarian food together later." Yin Qianhua reminded.
"Okay!" Xiao Yuan agreed readily and at the same time, she pulled her sister along as they walked towards the yard. However, after just a few steps, she seemed to have thought of something and stopped to ask flatteringly, "Can you prepare some snacks for us first? My sister and I haven't eaten yet this morning!"
Tong Mingyu, Li Jiaoying and Xiao Yao really wanted to ask her who ate the snacks in the carriage.
"Qiu Ying, go quickly and give some of the snacks we brought to the two young ladies."
Qin twitched her lips slightly in embarrassment: "We brought our own snacks, so we won't bother the princess."
"It's time to change your taste occasionally. Today, let's try the snacks from the palace." Yin Qianhua said with a smile.
Xiao Yuan nodded quickly, agreeing with the princess' words. After eating delicacies for a long time, one would get tired of them, not to mention eating meals and snacks! This aunt of the princess was right. She was knowledgeable and understanding, and what was rare was that she understood herself.
Not long after the two little girls left, the princess and her friends arrived at the door of the wing room.
Yin Qianhua, who hadn't seen her son for a while, couldn't help but ask the people around her, "The prince has been out for a while. I don't know where he went."
"Mother, you're looking for me." Yun Yichen, who had just returned from a walk around the temple, heard his mother's words.
"Mother just thought you'd been gone for a while, and wanted to ask them if they knew where you'd been."
"My son just took a stroll and didn't go far."
"Would you like to find a room to rest?"
"You go talk to the Xiao family. I want to enjoy the scenery in the yard." Yun Yifan thought to himself, it's rare to find someone who pleases his mother, so he will make her happy today. He can do whatever he wants, so his mother won't have to worry about him.
"Since you are in the yard, please help look after your two cousins." Yin Qianhua said as a matter of course.
Wait, how come he suddenly has two cousins? Yun Yichen didn’t expect that he would just go out for a walk and actually meet two relatives.
