After being drunk and having sex all night, Xie Mingxi woke up the next morning with pain all over her body and a dull pain in her head.
Sheng Hong, on the other hand, smiled wildly and contentedly like a cat that had had enough of it.
Xie Mingxi glared at it, and Sheng Hong calmed down a little, but he couldn't hold back the raised corners of his mouth. He was thinking about it silently in his heart.
Xianghui pretended not to see the young couple's flirtations and reported respectfully: "Your Highness and Princess, Magistrate Lu and others are ready to leave the house."
Xie Mingxi nodded slightly: "I'll see you off right now."
The couple hugged A Luo and went to the main entrance together to see off Lu Chi, Lin Weiwei and others.
Everything that needs to be said was said last night. There is no need to say goodbye with tears at this time.
Xie Mingxi was reluctant to give up, but with a smile on her face, she personally escorted everyone to the carriage: "You will cherish me more and remember me more, so you will often write to me."
Lin Wei smiled and joked: "We just want to get some useful manpower from you."
Qin Sihun and Yan Zhenzhen laughed together.
The carriages soon set off in different directions. The four classmates and friends said goodbye.
The ones who were really making a fuss were a few children.
Both Xiao Baoer and Sister Qing cried with tears in their eyes. Brother You was a little better and silently shed a few tears while sitting in the carriage.
When Ah Luo saw her friends leaving, she burst into tears: "Brother You! Brother Xiaobao! Sister Qing! Don't go...don't even go..."
Sheng Hong had no choice but to hold her in his arms and kept coaxing: "Don't cry, A Luo. They just went out to play for a while and will be back soon."
A Luo continued to cry: "I want to play too."
Sheng Hong quickly ran out of words, so he had to think of another way, holding A'luo and sitting on his shoulders. A'luo was still young after all, so being interrupted like this, she quickly stopped crying and looked around.
Sheng Hong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Before she could relax, Ah Luo suddenly cried again: "I want to help my brother..."
Sheng Hong: "..."
Xie Mingxi turned around and saw A Luo crying sadly and Sheng Hong looking helpless.
Xie Mingxi was both distressed and amused. She reached out and hugged A'Luo. She coaxed softly: "A'Luo, don't cry. A'Luo wants to be with her parents. Brother You and the others also want to be with their parents."
Therefore, they cannot stay in the palace forever. However, after some time, they will come back. How about playing with A Luo for a few days?"
Ah Luo was quite precocious, and she actually understood such a long speech. However, understanding is one thing, and whether you can accept it is another.
A Luo kept crying while calling her friend's name.
I cried for most of the day.
In the evening, Gu Shanchang returned from the academy. The first thing he did when he returned home was to hug A'luo. A'luo cried until his voice became hoarse: "Master, I want to find brother You, and I also want brother Xiaobao."
, I still want my sister!"
Gu Shanchang was heartbroken. While wiping the corners of A-Luo's eyes, he scolded Xie Mingxi: "Why did A-Luo cry like this? Her throat was hoarse from crying."
Xie Mingxi looked innocent and helpless: "I coaxed her for most of the day, but she kept crying. There was nothing I could do."
All means were used. However, A Luo could not be coaxed. Xie Mingxi also felt a headache. She had always been complacent about her daughter's early wisdom and sensibleness, but today she realized A Luo's stubborn temper!
Gu Shanchang couldn't bear to blame Xie Mingxi any more, and sighed with a smile: "Our Ah Luo is a good boy who values affection and justice. He was suddenly separated from his friends, so naturally he was reluctant to part with him. He will get better after a while.
"
Children are forgetful. I hope Ah Luo will forget her friends soon.
Xie Mingxi also sighed.
…
It turns out that Ah Luo has a very good memory.
The departure of her friends made Ah Luo quite sad. After crying for a few days, she stopped crying. However, she would always talk about Brother You and the others several times every day and ask them eagerly when they would be back.
Xie Mingxi doesn't like to coax her children: "We have to wait two months."
Ah Luo was about to cry again.
Sheng Hong saw this and felt distressed, so he discussed with Xie Mingxi: "A Luo is a little lonely in the house alone, so why not find two playmates for her. When she starts studying next year, I can be her companion."
That’s fine.
Xie Mingxi thought for a while and then proposed two candidates: "The granddaughter of Governor Liu is five years old this year, more than a year older than A Luo. It is suitable to be A Luo's playmate."
Governor Liu is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. In the past two years, he has gotten along quite harmoniously with Sheng Hong, the King of Shu.
He brought Commander Liu's granddaughter into the palace to be A Luo's playmate. He quietly won over Commander Liu and would not cause any criticism if word spread about it.
Sheng Hong smiled and nodded: "That's a good idea." He paused and said, "For another playmate, let's choose the young girl from Cousin Mei's family!"
The cousin Mei mentioned by Sheng Hong is none other than Mei.
Mei is not very good at reading, but she is careful and steady in handling the general affairs and doing errands, which earns Sheng Hong's respect and trust. Now she is considered to be Sheng Hong's most effective confidant.
Mei got married early and had many children, two sons and two daughters. The youngest sister Yun is four years old this year, only a few months older than A Luo.
Xie Mingxi smiled and nodded in agreement.
Mei's family members all lived in the Prince of Shu's Mansion, and asking Sister Yun to be Ah Luo's playmate was just a matter of words. Mrs. Mei was so happy that she brought Sister Yun over the next day.
Everyone in the Mei family is blessed with good looks. Sister Yun is already a beauty at a young age. However, she is not tall and does not speak much, but Ah Luo looks older.
Another day later, the county governor's wife came to say hello and brought her legitimate granddaughter, Sister Yan, with her.
Sister Yan was born fair and pretty, gentle, intelligent, and articulate. When she stood there, she looked like a little lady, and she saluted gracefully: "Yan'er has met the princess."
Xie Mingxi was quite satisfied when she saw her. She smiled and praised Sister Yan a few words. She also gave her a generous meeting gift.
It is inconvenient for Sister Yan to come every day, so she is sent to the palace to stay for a day every two days.
After having two new playmates, Ah Luo was in a much better mood and no longer talked about Brother You and others all day long. However, if there were delicious and fun things, she had to quietly put some away and whisper them to others.
Brother You and the others.
It makes people laugh and cry.
At the same time, the newly built Shu Prince's Mansion has been tidied up, and Xie Mingxi has also started busy with the relocation. Moving into the Prince's Mansion is no small matter, and it took half a month to put everything in place.
Xie Mingxi takes care of all matters in the inner house. After all this trouble, even though Xie Mingxi is smart and capable, she feels quite tired.
Before repairs could be made, Xie Mingxi received a secret report from the capital.
After reading the secret report, Xie Mingxi lost her smile and ordered in a deep voice: "Whoever comes, send a message to His Highness the King of Shu immediately. Ask His Highness to return home immediately. I have important matters to discuss with His Highness."
