"His Majesty's family?"
The old lady was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, but didn't immediately understand what Li Yi meant.
"This is—Princess Yongning." Li Yi explained again.
"Princess Yongning..." The expression on the old lady's face froze, and the next moment, the hand that was still on the little girl's face was quickly withdrawn, her face full of horror.
Seeing the old lady's body shaking a few times, Ruyi hurried over to support her.
After finally regaining her senses, the old lady broke free from Ruyi's support, and hurriedly bowed to salute, "The old lady has seen Her Royal Highness!"
The prince and princess have been superior to others since they were born. Even though the old lady is a royal, she still has to salute when she meets the royal family.
In the past year, Yongning has become accustomed to the princess's maidservant eunuch saluting to her, but the old lady in front of her obviously has something to do with her brother, so she was at a loss for what to do, and looked at Li Yi with pleading eyes.
Li Yi said helplessly: "Old lady, don't be nervous, Princess Yongning is leaving the palace secretly this time, so don't make it public."
"How can that be done? Your Royal Highness, the golden branches and jade leaves, condescends to come to our house, how can you be contemptuous?" The old lady's concept of superiority and inferiority is obviously deeply ingrained, and she looked at Li Yi and said, "Why don't you invite Your Highness to come in?"
…
…
It took a lot of effort to let the old lady understand that Her Highness the Princess is here for a vacation to recuperate this time, so too many people should not know about it, otherwise Her Majesty will blame her, so everyone should keep a low profile.
Even so, the old lady still attached great importance to this matter, and summoned all the maids and servants in the house to give a lecture, to the effect that the little girl is very noble, and her status in the family is equal to that of the Sir. If the servants dare to show a little disrespect to her, they can pack up their things and go back to their hometown.
These days, it's easy to find jobs for servants, but it's hard to find a place like Li's Mansion, where the money on the surface is just for display, and as long as you perform well, you can get rid of poverty and become rich in a few months. No servant girl would do such an unwise thing.
After finally seeing off the old lady, he repeatedly reminded Li Yi to be careful before leaving.
In case something happened to the little princess in the mansion, His Majesty would be furious, no one from the master to the servant girl could escape from this house.
Li Yi repeatedly assured this, even if the old lady didn't say anything, how could he make something happen to Yongning
After all, in this world, she is the only person who can comfort him in certain aspects...
Xiaohuan came in from the outside with two candied haws in his hand, saw the little strange figure in the yard, and immediately said, "My lord, whose child is this, so cute..."
She came over and pinched the little girl's face, handed over a candied haws, and said, "little sister, what's your name, my sister invites you to eat candied haws..."
After the candied haws in summer are taken out of the wooden box full of ice cubes, they need to be eaten as soon as possible, otherwise the syrup will melt and it will be sticky and uncomfortable to hold.
Princess Yongning was sitting in the shade of the yard, eating the long-lost candied haws. Although the syrup had melted due to the hot weather and the taste was not as good as she remembered, she still ate with relish.
After all, no matter how unpalatable it is, it is still candied haws!
Xiaohuan hid in the room with a pale face and dared not come out, thinking that she had pinched the princess's face just now, tears were rolling in her big eyes.
That's a princess, the emperor's daughter. If the emperor found out, would he arrest her and question her
I heard that if you disrespect the princess, you will be beheaded. Xiaohuan doesn't want to be beheaded, but she is the emperor, will my uncle and miss save her
Li Yi shook his head helplessly, dragged her out of the bed, and said: "What's the matter, the princess's face can't be pinched anymore, don't worry, no one will punish you, come out quickly, it's hot, Is it hot in the blanket!"
"Really?" The little girl poked her head out of the bed and asked with teary eyes.
"Has my uncle ever lied to you?" Li Yi looked at her and asked seriously.
The little maid sniffled and whispered, "Yes, many times..."
He dragged the little girl out of the room and said, "If you want to pinch, you can pinch twice more. There will be two princesses coming over tomorrow, you can..., no, you can only pinch the little one."
Although he didn't have to worry about being caught and punished, but facing the legendary princess, Xiaohuan was still a little scared, hiding in the distance and not daring to get close.
Seeing this, Li Yi is no longer reluctant, anyway, she will live here for two months, and she will get used to it after two days.
Outside the yard, Lao Fang patted the dust off his buttocks, crossed his arms, and looked suspiciously at the gray-clothed old man standing at the door, smacking his lips from time to time, his face showing surprise.
Of course, what he was amazed at was not only the great strength of the old man, but also the fact that he was able to stand motionless for half an hour. If he hadn't observed his breathing carefully, he would definitely think he was a dead man .
"Go away!" When the old man's face was about to approach the old man, the other party suddenly opened his eyes and said something coldly.
Old Fang jumped away, glared at the old man, curled his lips, patted his buttocks and walked outside.
Hmph, what a big deal it is to be able to fight. Thirty years later, he can break the bones of this old guy with one hand.
If the old guy is still alive in thirty years, then forty, fifty years...
It's not as time-consuming as Second Uncle's, and it's not as time-consuming as you...
The old man glanced at the man with strange strength, shook his head, turned his head and glanced at the courtyard next to him, heard the little princess's crisp laughter from inside, turned his head, and closed his eyes again.
The order they received was only to deal with some emergencies. His Majesty specifically said that other than that, they should not interfere with Li Xianbo's affairs.
In the tidy and tidy courtyard, a swing was hung from a giant tree that could cover half of the courtyard. At this time, the sun was about to set, and Li Yi pushed Yongning who was sitting on the swing. The smile on her face was already gone. I became more and more accustomed to it, and my heart became inexplicably relaxed.
"What did the old lady tell you just now?" Li Yi turned around and asked her.
"No, it's nothing..." Ruyi blushed slightly as she thought of something, and said immediately.
"Xianggong likes children very much." Standing beside Li Yi, she saw the smile from the heart on his face, and could clearly feel his mood. She was so happy that she had never seen before, and she looked at him blankly and said.
Li Yi pushed the swing again, and said, "Yes, there are one and two children, and the house is lively, how nice..."
Ruyi nodded, but did not speak again.
At this moment, Li Yi was carefully pushing the swing, and didn't notice the disappointment that quickly flashed across Ruyi's pretty face as she bit her lower lip lightly...
