Song Yuanbao thought for a while, and made up his mind and looked at Zhao Xi, "Your Highness is sure that you really want me to come up with a reason to convince you?"

Zhao Xi's expression did not change, he just looked at him.

That look was clearly what he wanted to say.

Song Yuanbao coughed and said seriously, "Our family has an ancestral skill that can show people's faces."

"oh?"

Song Yuanbao looked straight at Zhao Xi's face, and for a while, "I looked at the image below the palace and found a secret."

Zhao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, "But it's okay."

Before Song Yuanbao could speak, he changed his subject, "If you are wrong, you will try to get married tonight."

Song Yuanbao deliberately kept it a secret, "What I saw is the unknown secret of Your Highness. Don't you mind telling it in front of the servant?"

Zhao Xi's pupils shrank a little, and Song Yuanbao continued to speak loudly, "Of course, if Your Highness thinks I'm making a fool of myself, then I'll say it now."

He cleared his throat and was about to open his mouth.

Zhao Xi frowned and waved his hand to ask Sanbao to take his men to retreat.

When the only two of them were left in the hall, Zhao Xi sat more straight and upright, Leng Rui's eyes swept on Song Yuanbao's face, and for a long time, he spit out a word "Say!"

Song Yuanbao shook his head and said, "Based on his face, I can infer that His Highness has a 'hidden disease' in sleep."

Zhao Xi frowned even more ugly, and a little danger popped out of his slightly narrowed eyes, "Did you speculate?"

"Well, I've said I'll see my face."

As soon as he saw Zhao Xi's reaction, Song Yuanbao knew that he didn't believe it, and hurriedly said, "But don't worry, your highness, I only know this, and outsiders will never know about it."

Looking at his proud look, Zhao Xijun's face was tense, "Nothing nonsense!"

Song Yuanbao didn't want to do something like exposing others' shortcomings, and he was forced to do it.

Afraid that Zhao Xi was really angry, Song Yuanbao pretended to be relaxed and said, "If your highness is anxious to let the palace maid serve him, then I will have a trial marriage tonight."

Zhao Xi pinched his eyebrows and didn't even give him one of them, "Go out!"

Song Yuanbao quit the main hall very consciously, and then he was busy selecting palace maids.

Sanbao's father-in-law reported Song Yuanbao's updates to Zhao Xi in a conscientious manner.

Zhao Xi heard that the little bastard was really choosing a palace maid to try out the marriage tonight. He ordered Sanbao's father-in-law to "kill all the palace maids back."

When the Sanbao father-in-law went out, Zhao Xi threw another copy of the "Avatamsaka Sutra" to him, "Give this to Song Hao, you will not be allowed to sleep until you copy it!"

Song Yuanbao knew that if Zhao Xi had done it himself, he would definitely have no choice. It was completely expected that he would copy books. Anyway, he was used to it, so he didn't think anything was wrong. Just as the father-in-law Sanbao was about to take those palace maids away, Song Yuanbao looked reluctant to leave, "Have you said when will you compensate me for my beautiful wife next time?"

Sanbao replied to him, "Or, Young Master Song knelt down and begged Your Highness. Maybe he would let go of his mouth and keep it all for you. They would serve you as you want."

Song Yuanbao “…go out!”

——

West of the city, Kangding Bo Mansion.

Mrs. Kangdingbo was pruning the freshly bloomed crabapple branches in the garden.

Seeing Chu Lu coming, she stopped her movements, "What's wrong?"

Chu Lu answered truthfully, "Madam, the fifth girl is still the same as she likes to be alone. She doesn't like to pay attention to her when she talks to her."

Yao asked, “Have she eaten all the food she sent?”

"Eat half."

"That's good." Yao breathed a sigh of relief, "She has no memory. Everything in our house is unfamiliar to her at present. It's normal for her to be unfit for a while. Don't force her first, and give her some time."

Chu Lu thought of something, hesitated for a moment, and said, "The fourth girl went to play with her before."

"What are she going to do?" Yao had no good feelings for the concubines in the mansion.

"Miss Four beat me out as soon as she entered. As for what she said to the fifth girl inside, I don't know."

After putting down the flower cutters, Yao personally went to Li Huairu's yard.

The little girl was standing in the veranda, looking up at the blue sky, and even Yao was unaware of it.

Afraid of scaring her, Yao first whispered a few words to Chu Lu when she approached her adopted daughter.

When Li Huairu heard the sound, she pulled her eyes back from a distance, turned her head and saw that it was Yao. She grinned and shouted, "Mother."

"How does Ru'er feel today?" Yao asked with concern.

Li Huairu nodded, pointed to the sky above her head, and said, "It was sunny today."

Yao asked her, "Do you like this new home?"

"like."

He said he liked it, but did not show the ecstasy and satisfaction that a six-year-old should have.

Yao sighed slightly and looked at Chu Lu, "Go to the kitchen to bring the fifth girl's medicine."

Before Chu Lu left, Li Huairu said, "Mother, I have already taken the medicine."

Seeing that Yao was suspicious, she added, "I just drank it."

Yao stepped forward and looked at her with kind eyes, "Child, you have chosen a new home, so you have to learn to adapt. If you forget what you used to, don't be afraid. From now on, you will have a pair of parents who love you, and a prince and brother. We are all your family, do you understand?"

After saying that, he gently embraced Li Huairu into his arms.

Listening to Yao's gentle words, warm ripples appeared in Li Huairu's heart, sucking her nose, and focusing her head, "Yes."

She is only six years old, without the worries of adults, without memories, and not thinking so much. The reason why she is taciturn is that she has not adapted yet. At this time, whoever can warm her will show special dependence on whom.

Soon, Li Run's voice came from the end of the corridor.

"Mom, I made an appointment with my friend to go out for a trip today. I'm here to say goodbye to you."

Upon hearing this, Yao slowly let go of Li Huairu and turned his head to look at his son.

Li Run wore a green robe, half a bunch of black hair, and on her fair face, she was the unique childishness of a young man.

At the age of ten, he is not too tall, but among his peers, he is already outstanding enough.

Only one of the four sons was left. Yao trained him to be gentle and polite, and he was as humble as a jade at a young age.

"Your sister said just now that it's sunny today." Yao said, "It's indeed a rare day of outing."

After pausing, thinking of his adopted daughter, he said to Li Run again, "Run'er, take your sister with you?"

"She?" Li Run looked surprised.

It’s not that I was unhappy, but this sister who came halfway through gave him a bit cold and not very humane. Since I entered the mansion, I could count the words I said with my fingers. I am afraid that even if I want to take her, the other party may not appreciate it.

"What's wrong?" Yao looked at him.

Li Run said, "It's okay to bring the fifth sister with you, but you have to ask her for your opinion first?"

Yao looked down at Li Huairu, his voice softer, "Ru'er, do you want to go out for an outing with your prince's brother?"

Li Huairu raised her head and faced the young prince's clear eyes. She didn't know what "outing" meant, but she almost didn't hesitate and nodded, "I want to."

The voice also has the tenderness of a six-year-old girl.

Li Run obviously didn't expect her to agree. She was stunned for a moment, but couldn't say anything to refuse.

Yao patted him on the shoulder, "Don't be standing there, hurry up and ask someone to prepare more food."

After Li Run left, Yao took Li Huairu's little hand and went back to the room. He specially picked a light yellow dress to change it for her, then combed her personally, and finally put on beads.

The little girl's skin is not white, but after Yao's hands dressed up, she suddenly looked pretty and cute.

Li Huairu looked at herself in the bronze mirror and could hardly recognize her that she was so hungry that she sneaked into the carriage and stole food.

Since her adopted daughter entered the mansion, Yao has been keen on dressing up the little girl. She always likes to clean up her beautifully if she has anything to do.

Looking at the adopted daughter's little face from the bronze mirror, Yao smiled with satisfaction and told her, "The place your prince's brother is going to be a little far away today. You will always follow him later, do you know?"

"I understand." Li Huairu nodded vigorously.

Yao finally heard the little girl's desire and excitement about going out to play from these three words, and smiled with relief again.

Soon, Li Run was ready and came to the inner courtyard to pick up Li Huairu in person.

Yao handed the person to him, "I asked your father to arrange a guard to accompany you. You have to take good care of your sister along the way and can't let her have anything to do, have you heard?"

"Don't worry, mom, it's not the first time I've been outing for a walk."

Li Run promised her mother and reached out to Li Huairu.

Li Huairu hesitated for a moment and handed him his little hand.

Li Run led this suddenly extra sister and walked towards the carriage step by step.

The little hand wrapped in his palm was soft and seemed to have no strength.

One is ten years old and the other is six years old. The two of them stand together, and there is a clear difference in their body shape, which makes the girl look particularly petite.
