Little Mianmian is making rapid progress. He was able to walk without holding his hands some time ago, and now he can run.
Some time ago, because of the poisoning incident, Zhou Ruiyuan was worried about the children, so he took little Mianmian by his side and took care of him personally.
On weekdays, he would let her sit on him when he was working.
When going to court, Xiao Mianmian would sit aside and listen obediently, very sensible.
Occasionally she can draw some random things on paper with a pen.
"Mother~"
Little Mianmian rushed towards her mother. ?.?????.???
Du Wanchun held her in his hands.
The emperor looked at the little breast dumpling in front of him and was surprised, "Who is this?"
Du Wanchun picked up Xiao Mianmian and said, "This is my daughter."
The emperor was surprised, "I didn't expect that your and Master Zhou's daughter would be so old."
Du Wanchun nodded, and she said to Xiao Mianmian: "Xiao Mianmian, call your Majesty."
The emperor listened and said quickly: "There is no need to call me like this. Now that you are coming to the house incognito, treat me as an old friend of Mr. Zhou."
As he spoke, he came closer. For some reason, he felt friendly just looking at this little baby. He smiled and said, "Just call me grandpa."
When Du Wanchun heard this, he was filled with emotion. After all, Xiao Mianmian was really his granddaughter.
However, Xiao Mianmian was very unhappy. She frowned and did not call out. In the end, she hesitated for a while and only called out, "Uncle~"
The word "uncle" was spoken in a very soft voice, even with some reluctance.
But the emperor was still very happy to hear it, "This kid is really sensible."
Mrs. Yue on the side laughed and said, "Master, she calls you uncle because she sees you looking young."
The emperor also thought so, and immediately took out a gold lock from his arms and handed it to her, "I happened to see it on the road when I came here. Now it seems that the child is very suitable. Now that the two of us are destined, he will Give this to her."
After saying that, without waiting for Du Wanchun's reply, he put the golden lock around Xiao Mianmian's neck.
Madam Yue on the side looked at it with eyes almost bulging out of her eyes. She originally thought that the emperor bought the golden lock for her, but who knew that he gave it away in front of her.
Xiao Mianmian held the golden lock in her hand and looked at it, then lowered her head with a look of disgust.
Mrs. Yue accidentally saw it and quickly pointed at the child and said, "Master, you see, this child doesn't like this gold lock."
After hearing this, Du Wanchun looked down at Xiao Mianmian, smiled and said to Mrs. Yue: "The child is still young and doesn't know what this is."
Mrs. Yue frowned, and there was another look of displeasure on her face.
The more the emperor looked at Xiao Mianmian, the more he liked her. He couldn't help but sigh: "It would be great if I really had such a granddaughter."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Ruiyuan walked out, saluted him and said, "See your Majesty."
The emperor helped him up and said, "My trip this time is a private visit incognito. You can just call me master."
Zhou Ruiyuan stood up slowly and said, "Yes, sir."
The emperor looked at him and felt happy, "I came to the house suddenly this time to disturb him."
Zhou Ruiyuan said quickly: "Don't bother me, it's just that our Cheng'an County is remote and the house is simple. I hope you won't dislike it."
The emperor raised his steps and walked in, "I don't mind it. Although your mansion is not as gorgeous as the officials in the capital, it still looks elegant. Mr. Zhou is quite elegant."
Zhou Ruiyuan said bluntly: "I am just a layman. This mansion was previously decorated by Magistrate Li."
The emperor listened and nodded.
"Master, please come inside." Zhou Ruiyuan turned around and pointed towards the yard.
The emperor took Mrs. Yue and walked inside together.
Du Wanchun followed with Xiao Mianmian in his arms, and casually sent a servant to Changliu Village to tell Aunt Zhou and the Third Prince about the emperor's arrival, so that they could prepare in advance.
The emperor stayed in the mansion for several days and found that Zhou Ruiyuan's parents were not seen, so he asked him: "I heard that you still have parents, but why didn't you see them in the mansion?"
Zhou Ruiyuan replied: "My parents live in the old house in the village and did not come to the mansion."
The emperor suddenly realized, "So, your wife and daughter are the only ones living in this mansion now?"
Zhou Ruiyuan nodded.
In order to prevent the emperor from thinking about going to Changliu Village, Du Wanchun took Xiao Mianmian to stay here temporarily for a few days.
Du Wanchun was busy in the kitchen today, so he handed Xiao Mianmian over to his mother-in-law in the house.
The mother-in-law was recently invited by Zhou Ruiyuan to see Xiao Mianmian in the house, so she was newly invited to take care of Xiao Mianmian's daily life.
Mother-in-law took little Mianmian to play in the yard.
Du Wanchun returned the kitchen arrangements and turned to go to the backyard.
Then I heard a woman's cry of pain coming from the backyard.
