Nangong Jiu pointed backwards.

Nangong Yunsheng squatted down and clapped his hands at Nangong Jiu.

"Xiao Jiu'er, you are doing great. You are walking more and more skillfully. You can walk here with just one hand.

Come, let Xiao Wang go and come to Uncle."

"Doudou..."

Nangong Jiu raised his hands, took one foot high and one foot low, and stumbled towards Nangong Yunsheng as if he was drunk.

Seeing that he was about to fall, Nangong Yunsheng quickly caught him.

He praised: "Xiao Jiuer, you just walked a few steps by yourself. It won't be long before you can run around."

[Yes, uncle, mother said she would come to say goodbye to you first, and then go to the door to wait for Uncle Hao. ]

"Okay, Jiuer, go out and play. It's not as safe outside as in the mansion. You must listen to mother and don't run around."

[Don't worry, uncle, I'm very good! ]

Nangong Yunsheng touched the two little tufts on Nangong Jiu's head and said, "Well, our Jiu'er is amazing!

But when you deal with bad guys, be careful not to hurt yourself."

Nangong Jiu nodded his little head like a chick pecking at rice, and took out two little birds folded out of paper from his small pocket.

[Uncle, after we leave, if you encounter any major problems that you cannot solve, let the bird fly away.]

Nangong Yunsheng looked at it with a curious look on his face, turning it over and over again: "Is this the paper you asked for two days ago?"

[Yes! You write your things down and send them out, and I will be able to receive them.]

Nangong Yunsheng accepted it carefully and kissed Nangong Jiu's face.

"Jiuer went out to play, but she was still thinking about us!"

[Of course, we are a family! ]

"Yes, we are a family!" Nangong Yunsheng kissed Nangong Jiu's forehead again before handing him over to Nangong Honglie.

[Grandfather, my mother and I are going out to play with Uncle Hao, take care of yourselves! ]

Nangong Honglie nodded: "Jiu'er, take care of yourself and your mother!"

Nangong Jiu said goodbye to every relative earnestly.

Finally, he reached the old lady's arms. Nangong Jiu stretched out his hands and hugged the old lady's neck tightly.

The little mouth puffed for a long time before it uttered two words.

"Pig..."

The old lady opened her toothless mouth and laughed so hard that she fell backwards.

"Oh... Jiu'er is calling Grandma, right? Well, Great-grandmother understands!"

An old man and a young boy kissed each other on the face.

The old lady took out a small paper bag from her bosom and showed the snack bars inside: "My great-grandmother left this for Jiuer."

Nangong Jiu grabbed one in each hand and chewed it with his eight small teeth, making a "crunch, crunch" sound.

At this time, Nangong Yunxue came to the main courtyard carrying a bag.

"Grandfather and grandmother, father and mother, brother and sister-in-law, it's almost time for us to leave. His Highness said he would come to pick us up at the end of the day.

Please take care of yourself at home, and we will write to you often."

Chu Ruoyan said reluctantly: "When you go out, take care of yourself and don't try to be stubborn..."

"Don't worry, mother!"

Nangong Honglie asked: "Where are you going first?"

“We plan to go to Jiuer’s fiefdom first and see what the situation is before deciding on the next direction.

His Highness said that if conditions permit, he can take us to see my grandfather and his family."

Chu Ruoyan's eyes suddenly turned red: "Okay, okay! I haven't seen my father and brother for several years.

Your grandfather is not in good health. If you can go, please give them my regards."

"Grandfather is not in good health? Then I will discuss with His Highness and find a way to go see him.

Don't worry, mother, grandpa will be fine."

"Okay, okay! Be careful when you're out!"

Nangong Yunxue nodded and squatted in front of the old man and the old lady: "Grandfather and grandmother, take care, we are leaving!"

The old man waved his hand: "Go!"

Nangong Jiu stuck to the old lady's face again, then climbed onto Xiao Wang who was lying on the ground, and walked towards the gate of the mansion first.

The whole family accompanied him to the gate of the mansion to see him off.

At the end of the Chen hour, Liu Hao's carriage stopped at the gate of the mansion on time.

Liu Hao got off the carriage politely and greeted everyone one by one before picking up Nangong Jiu and getting on the carriage with Nangong Yunxue.

Before getting on the carriage, Xiao Wang ran to each person, sniffed and licked them, and then stopped to look into the distance before jumping onto the carriage.

Nangong Yunxue held Nangong Jiu in her arms and sat by the window, waving to everyone.

The carriage started slowly and headed towards the city gate.

Royal study room.

Emperor Dong Ling picked up a memorial, looked at the hourglass, and then looked out the window: "By now, Hao'er and the others should have left the city, right?"

"It should be. His Highness said that we will set off at the end of Chenshi."

"In fact, I envy him for being able to live the way he wants.

I am not so lucky. I am locked up in this imperial study every day, with endless things to do and endless memorials to read."

Eunuch Wei smiled and said, "Your Majesty can also grant yourself a leave occasionally to go out and escape the summer heat or something."

"Forget it, there will be another mess when I come back.

I hope he and Xue'er can have good news about their marriage when they come back from their trip this time."

"Your Majesty, rest assured. They have recently come to the palace. I have seen that Madam Xue and His Highness are very close and their relationship has made great progress."

"That's good! If Xue'er can let go of the past and live a good life with Hao'er, it will be a good thing."

Emperor Dongling said as he took the memorial reviewed by Liu Xuan and flipped through it: "Xuan'er is doing things more and more properly. I am very pleased."

"The Fifth Prince has regained his loyalty, and his military and literary skills are no less than those of the Second Prince."

"Well, what has Old Four been doing in his spare time lately?"

"His Highness the Fourth Prince is eager to go to his fiefdom. He occasionally meets friends in his spare time, but spends most of his time in the mansion."

Emperor Dong Ling nodded and praised: "The fourth child's talent is mediocre, but the fact that they are obedient makes me very satisfied.

I will choose a suitable fiefdom for him so that he can live comfortably for the rest of his life."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Emperor Dongling said nothing more and buried his head in reviewing memorials.

Noon.

Emperor Dongling got up and went to the imperial kitchen to have lunch.

Because he was in a good mood, he even ate more food: "Well, this food is good, it suits my taste."

The head chef of the imperial kitchen laughed so hard that he couldn't stop smiling: "Your Majesty, this dish is somewhat related to Princess Dingguo."

"Oh? Tell me."

"A few days ago, Princess Dingguo entered the palace, and the Queen Mother specifically asked me to prepare a dish that Princess Dingguo could eat.

The servants made a basket of crab roe dumplings for the princess, who liked it very much.

Today, the servants have slightly changed the ingredients according to the emperor's preferences."

"Hahaha... you guys are so thoughtful, so I'll give you a reward! By the way, send some to Kunning Palace."

"Yes, thank you Your Majesty!"

Emperor Dongling returned to the imperial study in a good mood.

As soon as he sat down, a manager from the clan affairs office came running over to report.

"Your Majesty, the Third Prince bit his tongue and committed suicide. When we found him, he was already beyond saving."

Emperor Dong Ling frowned.

"Didn't he survive seventy-two tortures?"
