Whose little lady is so crazy?

Chapter 680 A very pretty little girl

As night fell, Hong Xiaoduo couldn't fall asleep. She dressed in her robes and leaped onto the tallest building in the palace—the three-story library.

Sitting there, I looked at the twinkling stars in the night sky and the bright moon.

Suddenly, he heard a strange noise, and his hand instinctively reached for the brocade pouch at his waist.

"It's me." With Quan Jinghuai's voice, he was by her side the next moment, handing her a cushion.

Hong Xiaoduo took it and sat down on it.

"Big brother, you're becoming more and more like a caring older sister," Hong Xiaoduo teased.

After Quan Jinghuai sat down, he handed her a wine pot.

Hong Xiaoduo then realized that he had actually brought two jugs of wine.

"Don't talk nonsense. Feiyan was worried you'd catch a cold, so she asked me to bring this up for you. But this wine is mine. This pot of yours is pomegranate wine brewed by the Prince's Mansion. I saw you quite enjoyed it at dinner." Quan Jinghuai said, tilting his head back to take a sip from the wine pot in his hand.

Hong Xiaoduo took the wine pot, sniffed at the spout, and said, "Actually, if you don't come up, I'll sit for a while and then come down."

After saying that, he tilted his head back and took a big gulp of wine. The pomegranate wine was fragrant and mellow, and it was indeed delicious.

"You're a good older brother, aren't you? I'm in such a high position, and you're bringing me wine. Aren't you afraid I'll drink too much and fall down?" Hong Xiaoduo said, taking another sip.

Quan Jinghuai didn't even look at her and said, "Isn't there an old saying that evil people live a thousand years? Don't worry, drink it, it'll be fine."

Hong Xiaoduo wasn't annoyed to hear herself being called a scourge, because that's what she'd always been told.

Drinking alone always felt like something was missing, so Hong Xiaoduo used her mind to retrieve two Harbin red sausages from her spatial storage and handed one to Quan Jinghuai.

Although he was already used to her being able to produce things out of nowhere, Quan Jinghuai was still taken aback. Every time, he wanted to look more closely to see how she conjured them up.

This is not an illusion at all, because every time she takes out food, it really fills you up.

The two men each had a pot of wine, which they quickly finished off with the sausages.

"Do you want more? I'll go get some more." Under the moonlight, Quan Jinghuai looked at the girl beside him, who still seemed preoccupied, and tentatively asked.

Hong Xiaoduo shook her head and said, "No, thank you. If you still want to drink, there's no need for you to go down and get it, brother. What kind of wine do you want, and how much? I can't provide it."

Quan Jinghuai thought to himself, "That makes sense!"

"Xiaoduo, don't be so worried. Go home if you want. I'll take care of the seven little ones and Feiyan. Even if Yaoguang's family isn't found, don't worry, I'll keep her with me."

And then there's Feiyan. If she doesn't care about gossip, I can keep her around and treat her like a younger sister.

"You've done enough for them. Go do what you want to do. Even if you never come back, even if we never see each other again, it's okay. I'll remember you all in my heart, that's enough." Quan Jinghuai hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.

These words had been bottled up all the way to the fiefdom.

He noticed that as her disciples began to find their families, she often seemed distracted and preoccupied.

"That Feiyan, she clearly promised me," Hong Xiaoduo muttered softly.

Quan Jinghuai had excellent hearing, and upon hearing this, he looked at her and asked, "You told Feiyan? You told her but not me. Do you think I'm not as reliable as her, or do you think she's stronger than me?"

"Huh? Didn't she say that?" Hong Xiaoduo realized she had let something slip. She had just said that drinking could lead to trouble!
Quan Jinghuai looked at her with a half-smile, without saying a word.

"Ahem, actually, it's like this. I was trying to persuade her to consider marriage, but you know I'm not good with words and didn't know how to give her the right advice, so I could only say this to her," Hong Xiaoduo said, feeling guilty and a little embarrassed.

Hearing her explanation, Quan Jinghuai laughed in exasperation: "You're tongue-tied? Heh, I really don't know that. But, your older brother is still single too, why don't you ever bother to ask about my marriage prospects?"

"Brother, you're wronging me. How could I not care about your marriage? When have you ever listened to me? Besides, it's not appropriate for me to urge you too many times about this. What kind of younger sister chases after an older sister to pressure her into marriage?"

"I was thinking that it would be perfect if you and Feiyan got together. It's good to keep the good stuff in the family, right? I would be most at ease if you two got together... Ouch, why did you hit my head? If you knock me silly, will you take care of me?" Hong Xiaoduo covered her head, which had been hit on the head, and said aggrievedly.

But Quan Jinghuai looked like he was seriously considering it, then raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Knocking you out of your wits and raising you doesn't seem like a bad idea. Feiyan and the seven little ones won't mind that you're stupid; they'll definitely take good care of you."

Hong Xiaoduo also imagined herself as a fool, being taken care of by Feiyan and the seven little ones. Strangely enough, she didn't actually see any scene of them disliking her.

On the three-story rooftop, after a pot of wine and some laughter, Hong Xiaoduo really felt her irritability dissipate, and the stars in the night sky seemed even brighter.

He told Quan Jinghuai to jump down and go to sleep early to get enough rest and wait for tomorrow's answer.

If Princess Yuening is indeed Yaoguang's biological mother, as I suspect, then my biggest worry will be over. Next, I'll go to Tian Shu's house to see if I can find another answer.

If Princess Ruoning is not Yaoguang's mother, it doesn't matter. At worst, we can just continue to help Yaoguang find her family.

Old Luo didn't say that once she completed her mission here, she would immediately disappear and return to the modern world.

He hasn't even cracked his grandfather's key yet, and what will happen then is still unknown. So why should he worry and fret about things that haven't happened yet? Isn't worrying about things that haven't happened yet just like borrowing pain in advance?

Think about it again, everything I've experienced since I came here has been good, hasn't it?

The reunification of these six children with their families went quite smoothly.

Look at what happened to Yuheng today. To be honest, it's not such a bad thing. In less than a day, that little green tea girl was laid off.

That little green tea didn't even cause a ripple, and there were no misunderstandings, grievances, disappointments, or explanations between Yuheng and her main family members.

To put it simply, Hong Xiaoduo felt that if her arrival in this dynasty was a script, then she was truly lucky. The screenwriter who wrote this script had a complete mind and very sound values.

Hong Xiaoduo slept very soundly and woke up early the next day. Fortunately, Yuheng did not order anyone to cover up the windows this morning.

At the hour of Si (9-11 AM), Princess Yuening and her husband's family arrived.

Although the princess is the current emperor's younger sister, a member of the royal family, and of noble status, Hong Xiaoduo is a benefactor to Prince Yi and his family, and an equally distinguished and special guest. Therefore, when the princess arrived, the prince did not send anyone to call her to go and greet her.

On the way to his fiefdom, Prince Yi had mentioned to Hong Xiaoduo that there weren't many guests at the banquet held in the mansion.

In other words, apart from Princess Yuening's family and a few friends she made in the fiefdom, none of them were officials.

It consisted of a local tea merchant, a villa owner, and a few chess enthusiasts.

Hong Xiaoduo deliberately checked the computer in her space and learned that in feudal society, princes could exercise some political and economic power, manage their own fiefdoms, formulate local rules and regulations, and handle some local affairs.

However, the prince's power was still limited; he still had to abide by the emperor's rule and laws, and was subject to the emperor's supervision and intervention.

Without the emperor's summons, the prince could not even return to the capital on his own.

Due to various restrictions, when he held banquets, officials with sensitive identities would at most send a congratulatory gift via a cautious messenger; they themselves and their families would not attend.

At this moment, Princess Yuening and her husband, who had just entered the palace, exchanged a few simple pleasantries with the royal uncle, Prince Yi, and his wife before being led to Guiyuan to wash up and rest, waiting for the midday banquet.

After a quick wash, Prince Consort Yu Rui, still pondering the unresolved problem of a dike in Luohua Prefecture, did not allow anyone to follow him and went to walk alone by the courtyard to think about it.

Before I knew it, I had reached the very corner of Guiyuan Garden. Suddenly, I heard a child's voice overhead: "Ah ha, one two three, four five... ah."

Yu Rui looked up curiously following the sound and saw a child vaguely visible in the tall tree canopy above. Before he could see clearly, he let out a cry of surprise, and the child seemed to have missed a step and fell down the tree.

Without a second thought, Yu Rui stretched out his arms to catch it.

The next moment, Yu Rui felt a weight in his arms and staggered before regaining his balance and looking at the child in his arms.

The child was also looking up at him. She was a very pretty little girl with clear, big eyes, a high nose, and fair skin. The more he looked at her, the more familiar she seemed...
