When the gray-haired old woman heard this, she turned her head with a kind face and raised her hand to wipe the face of the child on the back of the bald and stubborn donkey.
The child's sweat instantly wetted the old woman's sleeves.
"Hey, it's really hard for you."
The boy who didn't seem to be awake looked impatient after hearing this: "What are you talking about? Come into the city quickly!"
As he said that, the boy slowly raised his head. The dark circles under his eyes seemed to be poisoned. Even his small mouth had no color at all. It was dry and looked quite scary.
The gray-haired old woman sighed softly, pulled up the reins, and slowly walked towards the city gate.
at the same time.
A tall, muscular man at the city gate was hiding among the crowd, looking at the retreating mother-in-law and grandson with gloomy eyes.
"The two of them are actually here. It seems they can't bear it anymore."
The strong man suddenly opened his mouth and smiled, and disappeared into the crowd the next second.
…
The backyard of Xiao Mansion.
Ever since she closed the door, Lin Xi's laughter never stopped.
When I get interested, I will occasionally recite a couple of poems.
Especially when a group of charming little maids brought wine and food, it aroused his interest even more.
Lin Xi held a wine glass in one hand and hugged a cute little girl with the other, grinning widely.
"Five-flowered horses and golden furs, my eldest brother leads his troops to the brothel."
"It's almost time to drink. Don't stop drinking. I'm fine with you girl!"
"Pfft~" a sound.
After hearing this, many little maids burst into laughter and were overjoyed.
Lu Ling, who was kneeling on the ground with her shoulders half exposed, stared at her big eyes, her face was flushed and her lips were bulging.
Pomegranate seeds were spat out from the small mouth and fell to the ground.
Lin Xi tilted her head and raised her eyebrows as she looked at the tearful Lu Ling.
Seeing this, Du Min covered his mouth and smiled, and quickly brought another plate of peeled pomegranates.
Lu Ling raised her head with a grimace and looked at Lin Xi who was smiling evilly. Although she didn't want to, she still blushed and stretched out her hand to eat one piece at a time.
Du Min patted Lu Ling's shoulder gently and said in a deep voice, "You are so good."
The little maids around looked at each other and lowered their heads with blushing faces.
…
Outside the door, the maid who had just come to change her shift slightly twitched her ears and looked at the door with a surprised look on her face, and everyone was shocked in her heart.
Several unattended maids looked at each other and stood guard at the door with red faces.
But at this moment, Xia Xixia suddenly walked in from outside.
"Lin Xi, where is Lin Xi!"
"When are we going to set off?"
When the shouts came into the room, Lin Xi's eyes narrowed and she felt something bad in her heart.
Why is this girl here?
Lu Ling's pupils shrank, and she quickly stood up and walked aside. The maids around her were also silent and sweating profusely.
Lin Xi was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled, waved her hands and said, "Don't be afraid. With my son here, what are you afraid of?"
The girls breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but their legs still couldn't stop trembling and they couldn't control them at all.
By now, they had already known Xia Xixia's identity. They wouldn't be afraid of anyone who was the princess of the current dynasty.
Thinking of this, even Du Min felt a little cautious.
With the sound of "creak~" came.
Xia Xixia stepped into the room with her long legs, her beautiful eyes narrowed, and her face darkened.
"Why are there so many people in this house?"
"What are you all doing here?"
After hearing this, the girls' hearts trembled, and they were suddenly covered in fragrant sweat. Even the thin gauze was almost soaked.
Lin Xi sighed softly and frowned: "Why are you here again?"
"Didn't you go shopping?"
"Why did you finish shopping so quickly today?"
Xia Xixia squinted her eyes, sniffed her nose and said, "Don't interrupt, why does this room smell weird?"
Seeing the little girl sniffing here and there like a pug, as if hunting for treasure, Lin Xi said in a dark voice, "What are you doing?"
"This is my prince's bedroom, not your Princess Xixia's bedroom!"
"What are you doing? Too busy?"
Xia Xixia blushed after hearing this, and seemed to feel a little embarrassed.
"Tch, I am doing this for your own good! What if someone poisons you to death while your mother and eldest sister are not around?"
Lin Xi was shocked when she heard this.
Good guy, if this room was poisonous and smelled like this, wouldn't you have burped a long time ago?
Thinking about it, Lin Xi felt a little funny.
"Okay, okay, why are you here?"
After hearing this, Xia Xixia remembered the business and asked with an angry look: "By the way, I'm here to ask you when you are going to set off!"
Lin Xi glanced at Du Min, touched her nose and said.
"Well, in three days."
When Xia Xixia heard that it would take three more days, she immediately quit.
"What, three more days?"
After saying that, the little girl gritted her teeth and asked: "Why does it take three days? Isn't it just to prepare a few boats? How could it take so long?"
Lin Xi rolled her eyes after hearing this, turned her head and looked outside the door.
"Hey, it's not just about preparing the ship."
After saying that, Lin Xi narrowed her eyes and looked at Xia Xixia: "Your father didn't provide any funds. Didn't this prince find a way to make extra money?"
"What's the matter? Don't you need any expenses along the way? No more pocket money?"
Xia Xixia was slightly startled when she heard the pocket money.
"Huh? Who did you trick again?"
The little girl's eyes were filled with stars, and she rushed forward with a look of infatuation.
"Oh! Such an interesting thing, why didn't you wait for me to come back!"
The little maids around were stunned and their mouths opened slightly after hearing this.
They really didn't expect that this princess would be...well...well, so lively and cute?
When Lin Xi saw this scene, she put down her teacup with a look of disgust, squinted her eyes and said, "Okay, okay, the fun stuff is still to come."
"Besides, there are plenty of opportunities to watch theaters along the way. Why are you in a hurry?"
After hearing this, Xia Xixia grinned, raised her head with squinted eyes, her big eyes were like crescent moons.
"This is what you said. If you want to have such fun things in the future, you must wait for me to arrive!"
Lin Xi nodded helplessly.
"Yeah, okay, okay."
After hearing the promise, Xia Xixia jumped out and walked out.
Lin Xi just breathed a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly, the little girl stopped at the door, tilted her neck and turned her head, and said with a serious face: "By the way, your house really smells weird, you'd better order someone to clean it!"
As soon as these words came out, Lu Ling blushed and lowered her head shyly. Before Lin Xi could reply, Xia Xixia jumped away.
Du Min covered his mouth with a smile, turned around and said softly: "Your Highness, would you like me to go prepare some meals for tonight..."
"No, I'm not hungry, let's continue playing music and dancing!" Before Mei Jiao Niang could finish her words, Lin Xi interrupted coldly.
Lu Ling's delicate body trembled after hearing this, and she was instantly dripping with sweat.
Again? …
The door closed tightly with a "bang".
Waves of cheerful music sounded, and songs and songs were accompanied by crying, laughter, and laughter.
The little maid guarding the door had red cheeks and her little feet were almost digging out of her shoes.
The servants who passed by from time to time also raised their heads in astonishment, stared blankly for a moment, and then left in a hurry.
