Patting Cao Suixin on the head, she said, "Don't worry about them. If you have any problems in the future, just ask me for help. I, your senior sister, am much better than them."
The prince was watching Beibei and Cao Suixin from the side, and suddenly he felt a little jealous of Cao Suixin. Why was his sister so good to Cao Suixin
Even jealousy was useless, and soon the prince was driven into the carriage that Nan Nan was riding in. The weather was already very cold, and wearing thick clothes, sitting in the carriage, it was somewhat interesting to look outside at first.
After a few days, the girls found it boring to share a carriage. They were bored and took out their playing cards to play Landlord.
There were exactly three people, Beifang Xiaoxi and Cao Suixin, and there were other people in the carriage, all of whom were servants.
After just a few games, Beibei and Fang Xiaoxi were dumbfounded. Not only was Cao Suixin the landlord in every card, but the four twos, the big king, the small king, and the small king, were all in Cao Suixin's hand. How could they play this game
Beibei looked at Cao Suixin and thought of something else: "Xinxin, is this really your first time playing?"
Cao Suixin nodded: "It's really my first time playing it. It's the first time I've seen this thing! It's really fun."
Beibei and Fang Xiaoxi looked at each other. They had no experience at all, okay? How could it be fun? However, it was Cao Suixin's first time playing, and her luck was so good. If she was taken to the casino, she would definitely win a lot of money.
He touched his nose and asked the people outside: "Where are we going to rest tonight?"
They had been on the road for almost half a month. They were already halfway back to Kyoto. They usually rested in the cities they passed by. More often, they just camped in the wild. After all, there were many people, and with a fire, it wasn't too cold if they squeezed together.
Soon Qingyue went to ask for clarification and came back to answer Beibei: "We will camp in the wild tonight. It's getting late. The master said that we can't rest in the city."
That being said, my plan was going to fail, but I wasn't in a hurry, I could go play there when I got back to Kyoto. Fang Xiaoxi was a little worried, wondering if Dabai was obedient.
It turned out that on the night when Nan Nan said she was leaving, Fang Xiaoxi came to the deep mountains and was about to whistle to call Da Bai out. But she saw Da Bai was already waiting there, and he even nudged Fang Xiaoxi's hand obediently.
Fang Xiaoxi couldn't help but laugh. She reached out and touched Dabai's head, and took out the dried meat she made and fed it to Dabai.
"Dabai, I'm going on a long trip in a few days. You have to stay on the mountain obediently, okay? I'll come to see you again when I come back."
A hint of reluctance flashed across Dabai's big eyes, and then he saw Fang Xiaoxi put down the bag of dried meat in her hand, obviously leaving it for it.
"I've left these dried meats for you. I made a lot of them for you before I knew I was leaving. Be good and don't go down the mountain. If you go down the mountain and are discovered, you will be beaten to death. Do you understand?"
Seeing Dabai nodding his head several times, Fang Xiaoxi finally felt relieved. She said goodbye to Dabai reluctantly. She had only been away for a few days, but she already missed Dabai!
After all, time flies when traveling. In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed. There are only three or four days left before the New Year. At this time, Qian Jiujiu and his group finally arrived in Kyoto.
This time, the group did not inform anyone. They just quietly returned to Kyoto. Qian Jiujiu looked at the Queen Mother and said, "Mother, do you want to stay in the Prince's Mansion or go back to the Imperial Palace?"
The Queen Mother thought about it and realized that she had been away for such a long time and she missed the palace. Especially her two little grandsons, they had both arrived in Kyoto, so they must have returned to the palace.
"I will go back to the palace first, and you two can come with me."
After coming back, they did need to go to the palace. Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao expressed their desire to go to the palace together, so Nannan and Beibei naturally wanted to go as well.
So the whole family went to the palace. Fang Xiaoxi and Cao Suixin were naturally left behind. After Qingyue came back, she went to find the butler and asked him to settle the two young masters.
The butler came out to meet his master, but the master just stopped at the door for a while and went back to the palace. There were only a few children who were neither too old nor too young. The butler was confused, but fortunately Qingyue recognized them.
"Qingyue, who are these people?"
Qingyue looked at the butler with a smile: "Hello, butler. This is Miss Fang Xiaoxi, the princess's eldest disciple. This is Cao Suixin, the princess's youngest disciple. They are all the princess's closed disciples. The people following them are their followers. And this one, Miss Mo Yunyao, is the princess's good friend."
The butler flashed a hint of surprise, looking at the two little girls in front of him, curious in his heart. These two little girls are so lucky to be noticed by their master and accepted as disciples. As for the princess's good friend, there is no good idea.
An apprentice is like the daughter of her master: "Then I will go and clean up the two courtyards for Miss Fang and Miss Cao to live in."
Qingyue nodded: "Alright, just live in the adjacent courtyard. I guess the princess and the prince will come to see them when they come back."
Hearing Qingyue's words, the butler understood that this was a reminder to him. The prince, the princess and the two girls all got along very well.
Soon Qiumi and Dongmai came forward to greet him: "Greetings, butler."
Looking at these two people, the butler raised his eyebrows. It seems that Miss Fang is more favored. The maids serving her are all secret guards trained by the master.
The younger one looked a little shabby, with only two children serving her, who were younger than herself. The housekeeper was a little undecided and looked at Qingyue: "Aunt Qingyue, do you want to arrange two maids to serve Miss Cao?"
Qingyue looked at Cao Suixin, who smiled and waved his hand: "No need to bother, thank you, Uncle Butler."
The mouth is so sweet. Qingyue was supposed to accompany them to the palace, but she was left behind because she had to take care of these people.
Inside the palace, the emperor was busy with official business when he heard someone say that the prince wanted to see him. He was stunned for a moment. Didn't the prince go to pick someone up
"Xuan."
In the end, besides the crown prince, the queen mother, Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu also came in. The emperor was somewhat helpless: "My son pays respects to the queen mother. When did the queen mother arrive? Why didn't she let my son go out to pick you up?"
The Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "When we went out to play, we did it quietly. There's no need to make such a big fuss when we come back this time."
Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu looked at each other and said with a smile: "Hello, brother."
The emperor looked at the two of them and said, "You two are really cool. You must have had a lot of fun outside this year."
Mu Yexiao nodded: "It's okay, but this year has passed really quickly, and the New Year is coming soon."
The emperor laughed and said, "Who says it's not true? You've been here for two consecutive years. I'm afraid you must have alarmed many people."
Mu Yexiao was also somewhat helpless: "You asked the prince to pick someone up, how could he not come back?"
Nan Nan and Bei Bei looked at each other and stepped forward to pay their respects. “Greetings to the Emperor Uncle. Emperor Uncle, you two can chat about the past. We will take our leave first, okay?”
The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Why, wouldn't it be good for you to stay and chat with the emperor uncle?"
Beibei said coquettishly, "But if we stay, we won't have the chance to speak. You and father have endless things to say, and if we line up, it will take a long time!"
The emperor was getting impatient waiting, and he laughed: "Well, Beibei looks very busy, what are you busy with? You have grown into a big girl now, and you have the demeanor of your father and mother in the past."
Qian Jiujiu couldn't help but roll her eyes. She was a peasant girl who came to the city. She had no style at all. Beibei's curious eyes turned around, looking at her father, the king, and her mother curiously.
"Uncle Emperor, our mother has accepted two little apprentices! They just came to Kyoto, and I'm worried that they won't be able to adapt, so I'm going back to accompany them first."
Thinking about the place where she was going to take them to play, it would not be good to take Nan Nan with her, so she smiled and said, "I'll leave my brother to accompany you, okay?"
Nan Nan also wanted to go back and accompany them, but since he was a man, it was difficult to say so, so he could only glare at Bei Bei. The emperor found it funny, so he nodded in agreement: "Okay, then you go back and accompany your little sister."
Beibei left excitedly. The prince looked at Beibei with a depressed look on his face. As expected, with Cao Suixin, his sister paid attention to her.
I actually wanted to go back to accompany her so soon. Thinking of this, I felt depressed and unhappy! I couldn't leave, so I could only stay and listen to my father and uncle reminiscing about the past.
As for the Queen Mother, she went back to wash and rest accompanied by Qian Jiujiu. After such a long journey, the Queen Mother was still a little tired. She just said a few words and went back accompanied by Qian Jiujiu.
While the Queen Mother was washing, the Queen also got the news and immediately rushed over to pay her respects. After Beibei came back from the palace, he went straight back to the Prince's Mansion.
When the butler saw the princess coming back alone, he immediately stepped forward to greet her. After bowing, he kept looking behind him and said, "This servant greets the princess."
Beibei laughed: "Don't look, I'm the only one back. Oh, where are my two junior sisters?"
The housekeeper immediately took people to check on the people. Fang Xiaoxi and Cao Suixin were arranged to live in two adjacent courtyards, right next to Beibei, so it was not considered neglect.
Seeing Qingyue was there too, Beibei immediately said, "Aunt Qingyue, go prepare three sets of men's clothes, for the three of us."
Qingyue felt something was wrong: "Princess, what are you going to do?"
Beibei smiled: "I want to take them out to play. It's not convenient to wear women's clothes. Go and get ready."
