When the old lady heard this, she was stunned for a moment and did not immediately understand what Li Yi meant.
"This is Princess Yongning." Li Yi explained again.
"Princess Yongning..." The expression on the old lady's face froze, and the next moment, the hand that was still on the little girl's face quickly retracted, with a look of horror on her face.
Seeing the old lady's body swaying a few times, Ruyi quickly walked over to help her.
After finally coming back to her senses, the old lady broke free from Ruyi's support and hurriedly bowed and saluted, "The old lady has met Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
The prince and princess have been superior to others since they were born. Even though the old lady has a royal title, she still has to bow when she meets the royal family.
During this year, Yongning had become accustomed to the princess's maids and eunuchs saluting her, but the old woman in front of her was obviously related to her brother. She was suddenly at a loss and looked at Li Yi with pleading eyes.
Li Yi said helplessly: "Old madam, don't be nervous. Princess Yongning is leaving the palace secretly this time and should not be made public."
"How can that be done? Her Royal Highness the Princess condescended to come to our house, how can we be disrespectful?" The concept of superiority and inferiority in the old lady's heart was obviously deeply ingrained. She looked at Li Yi and said: "Why don't you invite Her Royal Highness to come in?"
…
…
It took a lot of effort to make the old lady understand that Her Royal Highness the Princess is here for vacation to recuperate. She cannot let too many people know, otherwise Her Majesty will blame her, so everyone should keep a low profile.
Even so, the old lady still attached great importance to this matter. She summoned all the maids and servants in the house and gave her a lecture. The main idea was that the little girl was very noble and her status in the family was equal to that of the lord. If anyone
If the servant dares to show any disrespect to her, just pack your things and go back to your hometown.
These days, servant jobs are easy to find, but finding a place like Li's Mansion, where the money figures on the surface are just for show, and where you can get out of poverty and become rich in a few months as long as you perform well, is extremely difficult.
No servant girl would do such an unwise thing.
After finally seeing off the old lady, he repeatedly warned Li Yi to be careful before leaving.
If something happens to the little princess in the house and His Majesty becomes angry, no one from the owner to the maids can escape from this house.
Li Yi repeatedly promised this, even if the old lady didn't say anything, how could he let anything happen to Yongning?
After all, she is the only person in this world who can comfort each other with him in some aspects...
Xiaohuan walked in from the outside with two candied haws in her hand. When she saw the little strange figure in the yard, she immediately said: "Uncle, whose child is this? It's so cute..."
She came over, pinched the little girl's face, handed over a candied haws, and said: "Little sister, what's your name? I'll treat you to some candied haws..."
After the summer candied haws are taken out from the wooden box filled with ice cubes, they need to be eaten as soon as possible, otherwise the sugar will melt and become sticky and uncomfortable to hold in the hand.
Princess Yongning was sitting in the shade of the yard, eating the candied haws that she had not seen for a long time. Although the sugar had melted due to the hot weather and the taste was not as good as she remembered, she still ate it with gusto.
After all, no matter how unpalatable it is, it’s still candied haws!
Xiaohuan hid in the room with a pale face and did not dare to come out. Thinking that she had pinched the princess's face just now, tears welled up in her big eyes.
That's the princess, the emperor's daughter. If the emperor knew about it, would he arrest her and question her?
I heard that disrespecting the princess will result in beheading. Xiaohuan doesn't want to be beheaded, but he is the emperor. Will my uncle and young lady save her?
Li Yi shook his head helplessly, dragged her out of the bed, and said: "What's wrong? You can't pinch the princess's face anymore. Don't worry, no one will punish you. Come out quickly. It's hot. You can't pinch your face anymore."
Is it hot under the quilt?"
"Really?" the little maid poked her head out of the bed and asked with tears in her eyes.
"Have I ever lied to you?" Li Yi looked at her and asked seriously.
The little maid sniffed and whispered: "Yes, many times..."
Dragging the little maid out of the room, he said: "If you want to pinch it, you can pinch it twice more. Two princesses will come over tomorrow, you can do both... No, I can only pinch the smaller one.
"
Although she no longer had to worry about being arrested and punished, Xiao Huan was still a little scared when facing the legendary princess, and hid far away and did not dare to approach.
Seeing this, Li Yi no longer forced herself. She would have to live here for two months anyway, and she would get used to it in two days.
Outside the yard, Lao Fang patted the dust on his butt, crossed his arms, and looked at the old man in gray clothes standing at the door with suspicious eyes, sometimes smacking his lips, and a look of amazement on his face.
Of course, he was not only amazed by the old man's great strength, he was also surprised that he could stand here motionless for half an hour. If he hadn't looked closely and could feel his breathing, he would have thought he was a dead man.
.
"Go away!" When Lao Fang's face was almost in front of the old man, the other man suddenly opened his eyes and said coldly.
Lao Fang jumped away suddenly, glared at the old man, curled his lips, patted his butt and walked outside.
Huh, what's so great about being able to hit him? Thirty years later, he can tear this old guy's bones apart with one hand.
If this old guy is not dead in thirty years, then forty, fifty years...
I can’t waste my time on my second uncle, and I can’t waste my time on you...
The old man glanced at the man with strange powers, shook his head, turned to look into the courtyard next to him, heard the clear laughter of the little princess coming from inside, turned his head, and closed his eyes again.
The order they received was only to deal with some emergencies. His Majesty specifically said that other than that, they were not to interfere in anything involving County Uncle Li.
In the clean courtyard, a swing was hung on a giant tree that covered half of the courtyard. The sun was about to set. Li Yi pushed Yongning who was sitting on the swing and was already impressed by the smile on her face.
As I became more and more accustomed to it, my heart felt inexplicably relaxed.
"What did the old lady say to you just now?" Li Yi turned around and asked her.
"No, it's nothing..." Ruyi's face turned slightly red because she didn't know what she thought of, and she said immediately.
"My husband likes children very much." She stood next to Li Yi and saw the heartfelt smile on his face. She could clearly feel his mood. He was happier than she had ever seen before. She looked at him blankly and said.
Li Yi pushed the swing again and said, "Yes, it's great to have two children and a lively house..."
Ruyi nodded and said no more.
At this moment, Li Yi pushed the swing cautiously, and did not notice Ruyi biting her lower lip lightly, and the trace of disappointment quickly flashed across her pretty face...
