Whose little lady is so crazy?

Chapter 669 Awkward
At noon, Prince Yi, Imperial Censor Luo, and Prefect Zhong all agreed that they should have a simple lunch and then find a restaurant in Hongliu City for a proper dinner.

Furthermore, before setting off from White Stone City, the attendants of all three families went out early to buy food for lunch, such as meat pies, braised beef, and braised goose, which was a decent meal for the journey.

After all, none of the three families wanted to let their own children suffer losses.

Upon reaching a flat area with a water source, Tian Shu stopped the car without consulting anyone.

Watching Hong Xiaoduo, Feiyan, Yuheng Xiaoyaoguang, and the four girls walk towards the bushes not far away, everyone knew what they were going to do.

When women travel, it's definitely not as convenient as it is for men.

The three of them, including Prince Yi, got out of the car and stretched their backs to loosen up.

"Lord Luo, are you feeling a little uncomfortable watching your son do this work?" Prince Yi asked the person beside him, looking into the distance.

He felt genuinely uncomfortable watching his precious daughter doing what a maid should be doing.

Upon hearing this, Imperial Censor Luo smiled and said, "Whether Your Highness believes it or not, I really don't feel uncomfortable at all. Think about what I was thinking before I found the child. I even thought that even if I never found him in this lifetime, as long as he was still alive, and someone treated him well and made sure he was well-fed and clothed, that would be good enough."

I never expected to find him in my lifetime, and to learn about the hardships he suffered at such a young age, which were only relieved by the help of a benefactor.

Although he is doing things that seem inconsistent with his status, he is not, and Lady Hong does not treat him as a servant.

They treated each other like family, and what they did were just ordinary, everyday things. And, Your Highness, look at their expressions—is there even the slightest hint of resentment or unwillingness?

After hearing what Imperial Censor Luo said, his gaze fell on the girl who had returned from behind the bushes. He wondered what amusing things that young lady Hong had said that made his little princess so happy.

"Ayan, what are they doing?" Prefect Zhong called out to the attendant who had just walked over from his son.

"Reporting to you, sir, the second young master said they were preparing lunch. I wanted to help and asked him to rest, but he refused and sent me here instead," the attendant Ayan told him somewhat nervously.

Zhong Zhizhou thought about the conversation between Prince Yi and Imperial Censor Luo, pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice, "In that case, if he doesn't speak, you shouldn't go and disturb him."

"Yes, Your subordinate obeys," Ayan replied.

Upon hearing Prefect Zhong's words, Prince Yi and Imperial Censor Luo quickly instructed their respective attendants not to disturb their young master unless he gave the order.

Although they had given him private instructions before leaving Whitestone City, the attendants would still instinctively step forward to help when they saw their young master doing chores.

"Didn't I tell them I had prepared food? Why do they still have to cook? Aren't they tired of it?" Prince Yi muttered to himself.

There was also something he muttered to himself: 'Even I, a prince, am not this particular.'

"Yuheng, is there anything you need?" Prince Yi asked with a smile as he watched his precious daughter walk toward him.

"No, no, Father, please come and sit down." Yuheng said, pulling on her father's sleeve and leading him to the table and chairs that had just been set out.

Tianji and Tianshu waved to their father, gesturing for him to come and sit down, before continuing with their own tasks.

The three fathers who had found their children sat down and busied themselves with various tasks as they looked at their children whom they had finally found. What they were carrying off the cart was a stove.

There were also people gathering firewood, carrying water, starting fires, and feeding horses.

Quan Jinghuai looked at the father's expression and reaction, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. He then glanced at the person lying on the recliner without any regard for appearances and sighed, "I can't bear to look at him."

"Your Highness, please have some tea, gentlemen." Feiyan brewed tea with freshly boiled spring water and brought it over.

"Thank you very much, Miss Feiyan."

"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Feiyan." The three of them thanked her in unison.

Their own children had deliberately introduced her; this Feiyan was their eldest sister, so who would dare to look down on her!
Feiyan responded gracefully and then went to assist Tianxuan.

Prince Yi's gaze was drawn to the blue and white porcelain tea set on the table in front of him. The misty Jiangnan scenery and the blue and white colors painted on the teapot and teacups were pleasing to the eye. The colors were elegant and refined, with a touch of understated elegance that was pleasing to the eye.

Furthermore, the glaze applied over the colored enamels makes them appear moist and bright, further enhancing the charm of blue and white porcelain teaware.

As a prince of the royal family, he used the finest tea sets, but compared to the set before him, he felt like a country bumpkin who had never seen anything good before. Seeing that Luo and Zhong beside him were focused on their respective sons, Prince Yi picked up his teacup, gently inhaled the fragrance of orchids emanating from the tea, and took a sip. The tea was sweet and mellow.

Prince Yi raised an eyebrow, reached out and lifted the lid of the teapot. He looked at the tea leaves inside, which were emerald green and needle-shaped. He thought to himself that he would definitely ask his daughter later if she knew what kind of tea it was and where she bought it.

Both Censor Luo and Prefect Zhong were focused on their sons, watching as the youngest girl, having discovered something by the roadside, excitedly ran to Tian Xuan's side and began talking.

Then Tianxuan walked quickly to Hong Xiaoniangzi and said something to her. When she nodded, she immediately called the other children to find a bamboo basket and dig something in the roadside grass.

"Could it be that they're digging up wild vegetables to eat?" Zhong Zhizhou guessed quietly.

Upon hearing this, Imperial Censor Luo glanced at him and said, "Why don't we go and take a look?"

Prefect Zhong nodded and stood up, then looked at Prince Yi, who was inhaling the aroma of tea with a look of pure bliss.

"You may go, I am tired from riding in the carriage and do not wish to move," Prince Yi immediately refused.

He naturally saw his daughter digging for wild vegetables. So what if she did it? It was her doing. He would cook them and serve them to her later. Even if they tasted terrible, he, as her father, would not even flinch.

When Prefect Zhong and Imperial Censor Luo approached the children who were digging for wild vegetables, they discovered that in just a short time, the basket was already half full of vibrant green wild vegetables.

"Father, this is called Malantou. It is a medicine. It tastes pungent and cool, and is slightly cold in nature. It has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, cooling blood and stopping bleeding, and promoting diuresis and reducing swelling. It can treat sore throat."

"Malantou is also an edible wild vegetable. It can be eaten raw in salads, stir-fried, made into porridge, or dried and cooked with pork belly. It's delicious!" Tianji said eagerly as he saw his father approaching.

"My son knows so much!" Prefect Zhong praised approvingly.

"Yes, it was all taught to us by Mother," Tianji said happily, pleased with her father's praise.

After hearing his son's words, Prefect Zhong glanced at Imperial Censor Luo with a complicated expression, and saw the same helpless awkwardness on the other's face.

Although he already knew why his child called that young lady Hong "mother," he, as the father, still felt really awkward hearing his son call another woman "mother" in front of him.

This awkwardness wasn't because I knew the woman was unmarried.

Well, if someone who didn't know the situation were there and overheard this, they would definitely misunderstand and think that the "mother" the child just called out to was his wife!
However, no matter how awkward it sounded, Prefect Zhong and Censor Luo dared not say anything.

After reuniting with the children, I brought up this matter and discussed with them whether we should call her godmother.
The child immediately objected strongly, saying that adding the word "dry" sounded bad and made it less intimate.

Prince Yi suggested, "The word 'godmother' doesn't sound good. Why not call her 'adoptive mother' instead?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Princess Yao got angry with the prince, which frightened Prince Yi into giving her a long explanation and coaxing.

So even though it sounds awkward, we can only endure it, since they can't come up with a good solution.

“This wild vegetable looks so green, it must taste delicious,” Imperial Censor Luo quickly tried to start a conversation.

Prefect Zhong nodded in agreement, saying that the wild vegetables were cooked well and were very delicious.

For the first time in their lives, a prefect of the fifth rank and an imperial censor of the second rank racked their brains over a wild vegetable, just to get closer to their child.

Just then, Yao Guang suddenly pointed to the distance and shouted, "Mother, quick, wild rabbit!"

Upon hearing Yao Guang's shout, Prince Yi, Imperial Censor Luo, and Prefect Zhong, along with their entourage, all thought to themselves, "Silly girl, do you want your mother to see the wild rabbit sooner?"

Wild rabbits aren't anything rare, why make such a fuss?
Anyway, you wouldn't want your mother to catch wild rabbits, would you...?

I took a break from updating during the National Day holiday. I really didn't go out to play; I stayed home the whole time and caught a cold. I caught a cold in the autumn with temperatures reaching 37 degrees Celsius. I was afraid it would get worse if I didn't take cold medicine, but I felt drowsy after taking it. Today, I finally feel refreshed.
