The woodcutter's wife also wiped her tears and said to Tian'en, "Tian'en, these are your biological parents. Go and tell your mother not to cry."
Tian'en had stopped crying. He looked at his hands that were bandaged like a pig's trotter, then looked at Zi'an who was crying sadly, and hesitated.
How can a two-year-old child know about biological parents, adoptive parents, etc.
However, perhaps it was because Zi'an's face gave her a sense of familiarity, and she had met Murong Jie before, so she no longer felt awkward. She staggered over and stretched out her own hand, "It hurts, don't cry, Tian En won't cry either."
Zi'an struggled to get up from Murong Jie's arms, hugged her, and cried even more heartbreakingly.
Murong Jie hugged his wife and daughter, unable to hold back his tears. His crying made everyone cry too.
In early winter, the weather in the capital became cold. Just after the first heavy snow, the palace was as depressed as it had been in the past two years. There was no vitality at all and it was dead.
On this day, a horse stopped at the gate of the palace. Dao Lao Da, who was wearing a thick cotton coat, shook his shoulders and stepped in.
Mammy had just assigned people to clear the snow when she turned around and saw Dao Lao Da. She was startled and thought she had seen it wrong. When she saw it more clearly, she suddenly cursed: "You little bastard, you still remember to come back?"
After the princess left, he disappeared, and the nanny even said he was ungrateful.
Boss Dao said nothing, but walked up to Madam and hugged her tightly, "I miss Madam's braised pork so much."
"Go away, go away, go away!" Mammy was so angry that she burst into tears. "You still want to eat braised pork? No way. I won't cook it for you even if it's for feeding dogs."
Having said that, he was reluctant to push it away.
Boss Dao let her go and grinned, "You have to do it for me, otherwise, I won't tell you the good news."
The nanny snorted, "What good news? Did he marry General Long's granddaughter? That girl came here a few days ago."
"How can marrying her be called good news? It's simply the worst news. I guarantee that after hearing this news, you will be so happy that you won't be able to sleep for three days and three nights." Boss Dao said proudly.
Xiaosun walked out from the inner room. She would occasionally come back from the farm to help the nanny. Actually, she said she was helping because she was afraid that the old lady would think too much, so she came back to keep her company.
"What good news? Tell me about it. Where have you been these past two years, you ungrateful man?" Xiao Sun glared at Boss Dao. Although he said that, he was always happy to see an old friend.
"Xiaosun," Dao Laoda said with a smile, "I heard that you married Guiyuan, why don't you live in the farm with Guiyuan?"
"He's on a tour of another farm, don't change the subject. You haven't told me where you've been in the past two years. If you don't explain clearly, I won't even give you tea."
"Where can we go?" Dao Lao Da shook the dust off his sleeves. "Of course, we're going to find the princess."
"Ah?" Xiaosun looked at him in surprise. "You went to see the princess? Do you have any clues?"
Boss Dao pretended to be arrogant and said, "I haven't even had a sip of water yet. I rushed all the way back. My lips are dry and my tongue is parched. I'm also starving. Give your brother Xiaodao a pot of tea and then I'll slowly tell you what happened in the past two years." Boss Dao said.
When the nanny heard that he had been looking for the princess for the past two years, her attitude changed immediately. She quickly sent someone to make tea, and then looked at Dao Lao Da eagerly, "Hey, please stop bothering your nanny. Tell me, have you found any clues in the past two years? Has anyone seen the princess?"
Seeing that her hair had turned a lot whiter, and that she had aged a lot in the past two years, with a slightly hunched back, Dao Lao Da could not bear to make trouble anymore, and said seriously, "Mammy, I'm telling you, you have to promise me not to get excited."
Mammy shuddered, "Don't scare me, an old woman!"
"Just tell me quickly, if you have it then you have it, if you don't have it then you don't. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" After Xiaosun got married, he spoke much more rudely when interacting with the women in the village.
Boss Dao helped Nanny sit down and said, "I came back first. The prince and princess are behind. They will probably be here in about two days."
The nanny stood up suddenly, her eyes wide open, "What did you say? The princess is back?"
"Yes, we found it. Moreover, the child is over two years old now. We came back together."
Mammy and Xiaosun burst into tears immediately. Xiaosun pounced on Dao Lao Da and said, "Don't lie, boy. If the princess doesn't come back, Mammy won't be able to bear it."
"If he really comes back, he will be here in two days at most." Boss Dao said confidently.
Mammy kept saying, "Good, good, good!"
Tears of joy fell like drops of water. She didn't know what to do. She rubbed her hands vigorously, "What should I do? Oh, Xiaosun, the child's clothes... Xiaodao, is it the prince or the princess?"
"Just prepare the clothes for the prince and the princess." said Boss Dao.
The nanny patted his head and said, "You have seen it all, haven't you? How come you don't know if it's the prince or the princess?"
"I see, there is a princess and a prince, two of them, you were right at the beginning, two!"
The nanny felt like she was going to faint; the ecstasy came too suddenly. This experienced nanny who had experienced most of her life was spinning around like a girl who knew nothing.
"Don't lie to me, old woman. Don't lie to me, old woman. You have to keep your word." She murmured, looking at Boss Dao eagerly, fearing that he would lie to please her.
"If you don't believe me, just wait for two days and you'll know," Boss Dao shrugged.
For the next two days, Boss Dao ate braised pork every meal and was extremely satisfied.
In the past two years, where has he had a good meal? He has been making do with whatever he can to fill his stomach.
Xiaosun told Wu Yanzu and Wanjing, Wu Yanzu told Lingli, Lingli told Hu Huanxi, Hu Huanxi told Liuliu, and Liuliu told the princess. In short, over the past two days, through everyone's running around to tell each other, everyone in the capital knew that the princess was coming back.
This palace, which had been silent for a long time, became very lively again.
The two days that Boss Dao mentioned had arrived. The women were waiting in the palace, while the men went to the city gate to welcome them.
The nanny got up early in the morning and gave instructions to the kitchen. She bought what Zi'an liked to eat, what the prince liked to eat, and also thought about what the children liked to eat. In short, she had to cook herself today and make a sumptuous meal to welcome the princess back.
Ever since the nanny knew that Zi'an was found, she has never closed her mouth and smiles at everyone she meets. Even Wanjing said that she looked younger.
Wu Yanzu and Guiyuan went out of the city gate today. The nanny had instructed them to ride back immediately after seeing the princess so that she could order people to start cooking so that they would have hot meals as soon as they came back.
They waited until noon, and still hadn't seen Wu Yanzu or Guiyuan come back to report the news. The nanny became a little restless. Xiaosun comforted her, "I'm afraid they were delayed on the way. After all, you're carrying a child, so you can't go too fast."
The nanny thought about it and it made sense. She had heard from Boss Dao that it was a long journey back from Bei'an, and a two-year-old child would not be able to handle the bumpy ride, so he would have to walk slowly.
