"Okay, okay, stop crying. The makeup on your face is all gone, and you are almost turning into a little cat." Xiao Rui hugged Princess Xiangcheng and kept wiping her tears.
Putting his hand to touch his face, Xiangcheng shyly pushed the other person away and said angrily: "There is no makeup. It's not like I'm in the palace. I never wear makeup when I live here."
Xiao Rui burst out laughing, hugging Xiangcheng and spinning him around several times, "If I don't tease you like this, how long will you stop crying? I'm back safely, and I'll never leave again." Now that Chang'an is here, I'll stay with you."
"This is so embarrassing, please put me down quickly..."
"What are you afraid of? Who dares to laugh at us at our own doorstep?"
Ahem...
The sound of coughing came from behind, and Empress Xiao held the hand of her grandson Yang Zhengdao, "Boy, doing this in broad daylight is unethical! Get out of the house and hug him."
Xiao Rui's face froze, and he reluctantly put down Xiangcheng, holding her hand and coming over to salute, "Come, Xiangcheng, follow me to meet my aunt."
"Aunt, I'm sorry for the neglect. This is our home, and I will arrange accommodation for you right now."
Xiangcheng bowed nervously, and Queen Xiao looked her over, then gently and kindly stepped forward to pull Xiangcheng up, "Yes, this girl is really good, Rui boy, where did you get the good fortune to find such a good wife?"
What's the meaning? Your nephew is not bad, right? I'm not cheating.
"Reporting to my aunt, this is Xiangcheng, His Majesty's eldest daughter."
"Well, I see, they are a perfect match for each other."
Not everyone is qualified to say this. Only Empress Xiao dared to say this at the time, not even Xiao Yu. Who dares to say that he is worthy of the royal family? Only the Xiao family and the Yang family, Xiao Rui is the grandson of the former Emperor Xiao Kui of the Western Liang Dynasty, Xiao Rui's biological aunt is the former Empress Xiao of the Sui Dynasty, and she is a genuine royal child.
At this time, Xiao Rui's wife came down from the carriage, looked at the back of the woman in front of her, and shouted nervously: "Is it sister?"
Um? The voice sounded familiar.
Queen Xiao turned around, their eyes met, and both of them were stunned.
It was Dugu who came to her senses first. Without Xiao Rui's support, she jumped off the carriage, trotted up quickly, and hugged Queen Xiao, "What a sister. We haven't seen each other for so many years. I miss us so much. My husband and I spend every day together." Worried about your safety in the grassland..."
Hearing this, Queen Xiao's eyes were red. After a brief recognition, Queen Xiao motioned to her grandson to salute: "Come, grandson, this is your aunt and uncle, salute to your aunt and uncle quickly."
Twelve-year-old Yang Zhengdao bowed respectfully to others, which proved that Empress Xiao attached great importance to the child's cultivation.
"Mom, aunt, come in quickly and don't stand at the door."
Her mother, Dugu Shi, said angrily: "You kid, you brought your aunt back without notifying her in advance. It's for your mother's sake that you are prepared and at least arranged a place to live."
Xiao Rui smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Mom, it's not that you don't know that my aunt has a special status. In order to protect her from returning, we had to keep it a secret all the way. It is only slightly safer when we enter our village. If the news is leaked in advance, I am afraid that I will just arrive in Chang'an City , my aunt will be taken away by His Majesty’s people.”
Empress Xiao nodded and said: "Sanniang, Rui'er's arrangement is right. Thanks to his care all the way, I'm afraid I will cause trouble for you when I come back this time."
Sanniang? Xiao Rui rolled his eyes, is this his mother's nickname?
"What did sister say? We are all a family. This is your home. We are all looking forward to your coming back. Let's go home." Dugu took Queen Xiao's hand.
Yang Zhengdao looked at the threshold and hesitated. Xiao Rui reached out and slapped him on the back of the head: "Boy, what are you looking at? You haven't followed."
Yang Zhengdao said, "Cousin, you won't put me under house arrest like Jie Li, right?"
Xiao Rui was too lazy to talk nonsense with this guy, so he kicked him in the ass and kicked him in. Then he pulled Xiangcheng to follow him through the door.
Only then did Xiangcheng remember: "Oh, I forgot. I'll send someone to notify Yanran and Shengnan."
"Don't be busy now. Once the arrangements are settled here, we will go to Chang'an to see them together." Xiao Rui advised.
Chang'an? What Chang'an? The two of them also live here.
Xiangcheng said and walked out, "Both of them are pregnant with your child, how can they live in their parents' house anymore? My father has decreed that they all live in Zhuangzi and sent secret guards to protect them. I came to accompany them. For safety, I asked people to clean up the house in the center of the village, and then sent Dabai and Erhua for personal protection."
What the hell? Dabai Erhua? You let two alien beasts protect a pregnant woman? Aren't you afraid of scaring them?
Could the house in the center of the village be a former warehouse?
Wait, what do you mean they are both pregnant with a child? Isn’t it just Yanran? Could it be that Katsuo also... ahem, he only slept for a day, is this so accurate?
(Li Shengnan: Roll your eyes! Don’t you know whether it’s accurate or not?)
Knowing this situation, Xiao Rui quickly shouted into the yard: "Mom, aunt, you guys take a rest first, Xiangcheng and I will go pick up the other two daughters-in-law."
After saying that, he chased after Xiangcheng.
Queen Xiao in the yard was stunned and asked the Dugu family: "This child, who felt quite stable and mature along the way, why did he panic when he got home? There are two other daughters-in-law? Didn't he marry the princess as his consort? Why are there two more? The emperor is so generous?"
Dugu Shi smiled and explained.
The servants in the yard came out to salute one after another. When they heard Xiao Rui's voice, they quickly chased him out but saw no one.
In the center of the village, where the warehouse used to be:
"Erhua, are you bullying Dabai again? Didn't I just ask you to carry Dabai as a cavalry? Dabai also went up the tree to pick fruits for you to eat." Li Shengnan was trying to persuade the two strange beasts to fight.
"Shengnan, don't mention the fruit. The way you look at Dabai is like a coachman feeding a horse. Is Erhua comfortable?" came Wei Yanran's voice.
Li Shengnan stuck out his tongue, "Who knows when this guy Dabai learned this trick."
Wei Yanran glanced at the two beasts, who were gazing at each other, and said jokingly: "It's no wonder that Erhua scratched it. You said Dabai picked fruits, but he just picked an unknown one, and Erhua lost his temper after eating it. God, I'm shaking when I walk, who wouldn't be angry? I feel like this guy Dabai did it on purpose."
"No way……"
"Why not? Then why didn't Dabai eat the fruit?" Wei Yanran argued with reason.
The panda Erhua turned around and roared, seeming to echo, yes, yes, I knew it did it on purpose, its eyes were full of grievances, and it would never serve Dabai as a mount again.
Li Shengnan laughed so hard that Wei Yanran held her big belly in her hands and reminded him: "Don't laugh like that, be careful of fetal motility."
At this time, the two strange beasts seemed to have sensed something, and they all stopped looking at each other and arguing, and rushed out.
"Huh? Why are they not making trouble anymore? Why are they running outside? Is there danger? Yanran, stay here and don't move. I'll go out and take a look!" Li Shengnan suddenly became alert.
Wei Yanran frowned and thought for a moment, no, if there was an enemy attack, there should be movement in the village, and these two strange beasts should roar in warning. Judging from their posture, it doesn't look like they are going out to fight, but more like they have encountered some kind of temptation... Could it be?
"Yes, it's him, he...Brother Rui is back!" Wei Yanran's heart was beating nervously, and she clenched her hands unconsciously.
"Don't move, don't move. You're so big that you can't run. I'll help you." Li Shengnan quickly went over to help.
