She is coming back, the real Miss Hou Mansion is coming back, Xiao Mingzhu can't help clenching her hands, she will hold on to everything.
When she raised her head again, Xiao Mingzhu's face was full of caution: "Brothers, don't worry, I won't argue with her, and I won't let my mother embarrass you."
Seeing Xiao Mingzhu pretending to smile even though she was obviously sad, Xiao Keyi and Xiao Keli both felt disgusted with the upcoming arrival of their biological sister, but Xiao Kexiao raised his eyebrows thoughtfully.
"Sir, miss, the princess is back." The boy at the door rushed in.
"I'll go greet my sister." After saying this, Xiao Mingzhu stood up, picked up her skirt and ran out.
"Mingzhu, be careful." Xiao Keli followed immediately.
Seeing this, Xiao Keyi also followed him out. Xiao Kexiao stood up and sat down again after thinking about it. Anyway, we would meet soon. He was so tired from going back and forth that his body couldn't support it.
"Mother!" Xiao Mingzhu raised her voice when she came to the gate of the Hou Mansion.
Aunt Ying was helping Princess Rouping out of the carriage. When she heard Xiao Mingzhu's call, she raised her head and smiled at him before turning around.
Princess Rouping took Xuan Bao out of the carriage and did not put it down. Instead, she hugged it tightly, and then slowly walked up the steps in front of the Hou Mansion.
Xuan Bao was obviously five years old, but she was as thin as a three-year-old baby. In addition, she was scarred. Princess Rouping felt sorry for her. These days, whenever she got off the carriage, she would hold her lost daughter in her hands to feel at ease.
Seeing this, Xiao Mingzhu's smile condensed on her face, and the two brothers who followed her were also stunned.
Ever since they could remember, their mother had never hugged them. Now seeing her hugging the found sister, they couldn't help but feel sour.
"Mother!" After coming back to their senses, the two brothers stepped forward and saluted.
Princess Rouping was in a good mood, even her eyebrows were smiling, and her usually pale face had color. She asked casually, "Where are they?"
"My father has not returned from the court. The eldest brother has official business to deal with, and the third brother was invited by the Lin University Scholar." Xiao Keli replied calmly.
"Oh." Princess Rouping lowered her head and said softly, "Xuanbao, these are your fourth and fifth brothers. The second brother is in poor health and is probably waiting for you inside."
"Hello, fourth brother, hello fifth brother, I am Xuan Bao." Xuan Bao grabbed Princess Rouping's sleeve with joy on her face. Now she not only has a mother but also a brother. Especially these two brothers look exactly the same. It's really great.
Happy.
"Mother!" Xiao Mingzhu couldn't help but raise her voice to increase her presence.
Only then did Princess Rouping remember Xiao Mingzhu, and she casually introduced her: "By the way, Xuanbao, she is your sixth sister Xiao Mingzhu."
"Hello, Sixth Sister." Xuan Bao was held by his mother and looked down at Xiao Mingzhu. Surprise flashed across his face for a moment. My sister's soul and body didn't seem to be well integrated. It was really strange.
The little body struggled slightly, and Xuan Bao said: "Mother, let me down."
"Okay, be careful. When you are tired from walking, tell me, Mom, I'll hold you." A look of request appeared on the little doll's soft and cute face, and Princess Rouping couldn't bear to refuse.
An idea flashed in Xiao Mingzhu's mind, and her tears began to fall. Xiao Keyi and Xiao Keli noticed that they were protecting her on the left and right.
"What's wrong with her?" Princess Rouping looked confused.
Xuan Bao asked with concern: "Why is sister crying?"
"It's nothing, I'm just happy." She said she was happy, but Xiao Mingzhu looked at Princess Rouping and her tears fell even more.
Xiao Mingzhu wiped away her tears, raised her head and asked pitifully: "Did mother not like Mingzhu anymore after she had a younger sister?"
Princess Rouping couldn't help but frowned. Before Xuan Bao entered the gate, Mingzhu couldn't wait to come to compete for his favor. This child was really spoiled.
Xuan Bao was keenly aware of the atmosphere and stepped forward to hold Xiao Mingzhu's hand to smooth things over: "Sister, don't cry, don't cry."
Xiao Mingzhu shook Xuan Bao's hand away without thinking, and the little baby was stunned.
"Mingzhu, you are too willful. Where are your rules? Xuanbao also cares about you." As expected, Princess Rouping's face darkened.
Xiao Mingzhu was deliberately testing just now. She wanted to know whether the relationship she had spent with Princess Rouping day and night for three years could surpass the mother-daughter relationship she had with Xuan Bao.
Reluctantly suppressing the dissatisfaction and resentment in her heart, Xiao Mingzhu looked at Princess Rouping stumbling with aggrieved expression.
Princess Rouping couldn't help but took two steps forward. Xiao Keli next to her was the first to hold Xiao Mingzhu.
"Mingzhu." Princess Rouping looked guilty, she was too harsh.
"Mom has indeed changed. Now you only like your sister and not me anymore. Wuwu——!" Xiao Mingzhu cried loudly and turned around and ran away. Xiao Keli followed immediately.
"Humph! It's all because of you. Are you familiar with Mingzhu? You don't need to pretend to be a good person."
Xiao Keyi yelled at Xuan Bao angrily and then glared angrily at Princess Rouping. After all, he lacked some courage, and soon he also chased after Xiao Mingzhu in the direction where he left.
Princess Rouping rubbed her forehead and sighed: "These children..."
Aunt Ying, who was waiting next to her, comforted her and said, "Princess, Miss Six is still young, so she may have lost her mind for a while. It is understandable that the Fourth and Fifth Young Masters have always been on good terms with her."
At this time, Xuan Bao lowered his head and muttered: "Sister doesn't like me, and neither do fourth brother nor fifth brother."
"Xuanbao, you are so cute, they will like you, but you have to give them some time."
"Yeah." Little Baby thought about it and nodded, "Mom is right. The old Taoist master said that the relationship between people comes from getting along. If we get along more, Fourth Brother and others will like me."
Obviously he is the youngest, but Xuanbao is obedient and sensible, but what about the other three? Princess Rouping sighed secretly and couldn't help feeling sad at the same time.
Aunt Ying stepped forward and changed the subject: "Princess, Miss Seven, let's go. The second young master must be waiting in a hurry."
"Miss Seventh? Mother, do I have another sister?" Xuan Bao asked curiously.
Princess Rouping was originally in a bad mood because of Xiao Mingzhu, but she couldn't help but laugh after hearing Xuan Bao's words.
"Xuan Bao, Miss Seven is you."
"Oh." Xuan Bao suddenly realized after thinking about it, "Five brothers and six sisters, I am the seventh."
Aunt Ying smiled kindly and said, "By the way, Miss Seven is so smart."
"Let's go home."
Princess Rouping held Xuan Bao's little hand and watched her short legs struggling to cross the threshold. She smiled happily, knowing that she had finally found her lost daughter.
Xuan Bao looked at everything in the Hou Mansion curiously. There were many houses, and they were very beautiful. This was probably what the old Taoist master said about the fairyland.
Suddenly, the large house with several steps in front caught Xuan Bao's attention, and she couldn't help but speed up and walk towards it.
Princess Rouping was stunned for a moment. She originally wanted to take Xuanbao back to her courtyard to freshen up, but when she saw the little baby heading straight to the hall, she changed her mind and followed her.
Xiao Kexiao sat quietly. He had patience beyond his years, especially when waiting for others. He stayed in the courtyard every day, waiting for his brothers and sister to come see him. He had long been accustomed to waiting.
