New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies

When everyone in the inn heard Xiaoyanzi's angry voice, they all burst into laughter.

I just think this little swallow is so cute.

"What are you laughing at? Don't you think this is too disrespectful to me? You are going too far."

Seeing her friends’ unstoppable smiles on their faces, Xiaoyanzi glanced at them and spoke with dissatisfaction while pouting her lips.

"Ahem, alright, alright, don't be angry, we're not making fun of you. You're really cute like this."

Ertai saw that Xiaoyanzi was about to get angry, so he quickly tried to comfort her with a smile.

Xiao Feng was also afraid that his sister would really be angry, so he quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, my sister is getting cuter and cuter."

Qing'er and others nodded repeatedly.

"By the way, why are you all together?"

Ziwei gently pulled Xiaoyanzi's hand, telling her not to be angry anymore, and then asked Liuhong and the others curiously.

Liu Qing couldn't help but speak, "Because our father became a subordinate of Lord Fucha, Liu Hong and I are currently living near the Xiao Mansion. Uncle Xiao and Auntie Xiao thought we were still young, so they let us live in the Xiao Mansion for a while."

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei nodded in sudden realization, then looked at the other three.

Qing'er touched her nose and said, "Well, originally, Brother Xiao Feng was going to come to my house to find me. He said he wanted to study with me. Liu Hong and the others felt bored in the Xiao residence, so they followed him. As a result, they ran into Er Kang and Er Tai when they went out.

So, they came to me together, and we prepared to go to Xiao Mansion to study together. If we passed by someone selling candy figures, we would go shopping to buy some first, and then go back to study later. "

By the way, speaking of sugar figures, several people were stunned. They had described it for a long time before just to make good-looking sugar figures for Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei. However, in order not to take up other people's space, they were in a hurry to get to the inn and forgot to bring the sugar figures.

"Oh no, Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei, we forgot to take your sugar figures."

Xiao Feng and others exclaimed and prepared to go downstairs to get the candy man.

Xiaoyanzi drank some tea on the table and said calmly, "It's okay, you don't have to eat the candy man."

But I was thinking, "That chubby sugar figure is not me, so it's better not to take it. If I were to make a sugar figure, I would definitely make it exquisite and beautiful. 】

Xiao Feng suddenly heard Xiao Yanzi's inner voice, with a look of panic on his face. He quickly looked at his friends around him, and when he saw that none of them looked like they had heard Xiao Yanzi's inner voice, he heaved a sigh of relief.

But he finally understood in his heart how much Xiaoyanzi disliked the round shape.

When Xiaoyanzi was glad that the sugar man was gone, Xiao Anzi excitedly took out two sugar men he had prepared for a long time. One of them was the slightly round Xiaoyanzi sugar man that Xiao Feng and the others had been describing for a long time.

Xiaoyanzi was stunned. Why was this sugar man bought back?

Qing'er and the others were extremely excited. Ertai took the candied haws from Xiao Anzi's hand, handed it to Xiao Yanzi, and said with a smile, "Xiao Yanzi, Xiao Yanzi, look, this is the candy figure we made carefully for you. Take a look, isn't it cute?"

Xiaoyanzi took the sugar man from Ertai's hand and looked at the round-headed, round-brained and round-body figure in her hand. The color and style of the clothes were very similar to those on Qing'er. She felt like crying but had no tears.

Ertai and the others thought that Xiaoyanzi was moved to tears and was smiling with joy.

Erkang happily brought Ziwei's candy figure to her side and said excitedly, "Ziwei, look, this is what I described and asked the store to make according to your appearance. Is it as pretty and cute as you?"

Ziwei took the sugar figure from Erkang's hand. Although it didn't look exactly like herself, the general shape was similar. She looked at Erkang gratefully and thought to herself, fortunately, her shape was not chubby.

Xiaoyanzi looked at the round, festive little fat baby candy figure in her hand with tears in her eyes. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. But seeing that Ertai and Qing'er were very happy, she put aside her prejudice and observed carefully.

She found this sugar man to be quite cute. After looking at it for a long time, she found it quite pleasing to the eye. She planned to take it back with her when she returned to the palace.

-------

Xiao Mansion.

Du Xueying sat in the room prepared for Xiaoyanzi. Looking at the warm and beautifully decorated house, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Alas, I don't know when Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei will be back. The rooms have been decorated for them a long time ago, waiting for them to come back and live in.

Alas, I wonder if Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei are bullied in the palace? Do they kick the quilt when they sleep at night? Xiaoyanzi likes to toss and turn when she sleeps, and the quilt is always kicked away. I'm really worried that she will catch a cold.

Xiaoyanzi left her parents and only had her godfather and godmother by her side. I don’t know if she will miss home or her parents…”

Gan Ju, Du Xueying's personal maid, heard her mistress chattering about the eldest lady's clothes and toys and expressing her concerns these days, so she couldn't help but step forward to comfort her.

"Madam, you don't have to worry too much. The two young ladies will be well taken care of as princesses in the palace. After all, there are so many palace maids and eunuchs in the palace that they will definitely not let the two princesses suffer any grievances.

Moreover, the Emperor also knew that the eldest daughter's parents were in the capital, and it was impossible for him to prevent the child from seeing her parents. Therefore, the two daughters would definitely come back, but he was not sure when they would come back.

Madam, please don't worry and take good care of yourself. Otherwise, if you are not feeling well, the two young ladies will be worried when they come back."

Hearing Gan Ju's words, Du Xueyin nodded silently, put down the clothes in her hands, sighed, and walked out the door.

As a result, as soon as she walked out the door, she saw a group of people coming towards her, and in the middle were the two little girls she had just worried about. She rubbed her eyes in disbelief, and when she put her hands down and continued to look forward, she realized that she was not seeing things.

Because the people in front of him were still walking towards him, and one of the little girls was calling her mother and laughing as she rushed towards him.

Du Xueyin immediately squatted down with a smile on her face and opened her arms, ready to catch her precious daughter.

"Mom, we're back."

As soon as Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei and others entered the Xiao Mansion, they saw their father getting ready to go out. He was very happy when he saw them.

When she heard that they wanted to see their mother, she volunteered to lead the way and told them how much Xia Yuhe missed them. She always stayed in the yard prepared for her, holding clothes and thinking of her mother.

Xiaoyanzi felt a little sad after hearing this, so she and Ziwei and others ran over here without hesitation, looking forward to seeing her mother as soon as possible.

The moment she saw her mother, Xiaoyanzi was so happy that she left everyone else and rushed towards her mother. Feeling her mother's warm embrace, she couldn't help but smile with her eyes curved and was in a very good mood.

"Mom, we are back."

Ziwei took a few quick steps to her mother's side, bowed slightly to greet her, and appeared to be very well-behaved.

Du Xueyin hugged her precious daughter, then put her down, turned around and picked up Ziwei, laughing and complaining, "How come you become so distant after visiting the palace? You and Xiaoyanzi are both our children. When you go home, don't worry about those rules, just be casual."

Ziwei was caught off guard and picked up. When she heard her mother's words, she couldn't help but chuckle. She put her arms around her mother's neck and nodded heavily, "Yes! Ziwei got it."

When Xiaoyanzi saw that Ziwei was so tall, she couldn't help but reach out to her father for a hug.

Seeing how much his daughter depended on him, Xiao Zhihang couldn't stop smiling and reached out to pick her up without hesitation.

As a result, before he could feel happy, he heard his daughter's cold snort in her heart.

[Humph, I want to be taller than Ziwei!]

When Xiao Zhihang, Du Xueyin and Xiao Feng heard Xiao Yanzi's thoughts, they laughed helplessly. This girl is still so cute.

"Yongqi, Benjamin, meet Uncle Xiao and Aunt Du."

At this time, Yongqi and Benjamin in the team saw that their families were reunited. After looking at each other, they stood up together to greet Xiao Zhihang and Du Xueyin.

After all, when you visit someone's home you have to be polite and call guests.

Xiao Zhihang and Du Xueyin were holding Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei. When they found that the Fifth Prince and Benjamin had also arrived, they quickly put the children down and prepared to pay their respects.

"Uncle, aunt, no need to be so polite. In fact, the two of us sneaked out to accompany Xiaoyanzi and the others home." Yongqi touched his head and smiled awkwardly.

Hearing this, the eyes of the others were attracted to him as if by a magnet.

Their eyes revealed a variety of emotions: helplessness, curiosity, surprise, and disbelief.

Xiaoyanzi's face was filled with astonishment, her eyes were wide open, and her mouth was opened as wide as if she could fit an egg. She was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't help asking, "Yongqi, didn't you say that you had the permission of Concubine Yu to come out? So you sneaked out?"

Benjamin showed a trace of helplessness on his face, glanced at Yongqi, then shrugged his shoulders, opened his hands and spread them out, his voice full of helplessness, "We sneaked out, and it wasn't Yongqi. When he heard that you could leave the palace, he tried every means to go out and play with Xiao Feng and the others.

Then, he took me and sneaked into your carriage. I tried to resist, but the prince had given the order and I was powerless."

Yongqi glared at Benjamin awkwardly. He didn't expect that this traitor would directly tell him the reason for the matter.

Seeing this, the others smiled helplessly.

Xiao Zhihang felt that since the Fifth Prince and his friends were so young and could leave the palace, the Emperor and others must have known about it. After all, as princes, how could they not have the protection of secret guards, so he did not say much.

Seeing that everyone was still standing in the corridor, Du Xueyin warmly invited Yongqi, Benjamin and others to sit in the living room.

Everyone followed, talking and laughing. When they arrived at the reception room, they talked about what had happened recently, and the atmosphere was lively and warm.

Xiao Zhihang and Du Xueyin also looked at the group of children with smiles on their faces. They were very happy. When they learned that Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei were coming back to stay for a while, they were even happier.

Suddenly, there was a noise outside the living room.

The room was silent for a moment, and then the housekeeper Xiao Mu ran in with a happy face and said to Du Xueyin with a smile, "Master, Madam, someone from the Du family is here."

As soon as these words came out, Du Xueyin stood up excitedly, with a smile on her face, "Really? Who is coming?"

"Madam, it's Mr. Du, the old lady and the eldest master's family." Xiao Mu reported with a smile.

Xiao Zhihang and Du Xueyin looked at each other, with joy and confusion on their faces.

Xiao Zhihang said excitedly, "Please come in."

"They're on the way and should be here soon." Xiao Mu responded.

Hearing that her parents and elder brother and sister-in-law were coming, Du Xueying quickly stood up to greet them, and Xiao Zhihang followed them out.

Xiaoyanzi and the others were a little confused, but when Xiaoyanzi heard that her grandparents were coming, she was still very surprised. She had grown up and had never seen her grandparents.

Just as they were about to stand up to greet them, they saw Du Xueying and Xiao Zhihang welcoming the Du family into the reception room, and the two sides exchanged greetings.

Xiaoyanzi took the opportunity to carefully observe her grandparents. She saw that her grandfather was in good spirits, her grandmother was kind and amiable, and her uncle and aunt also looked very kind.

After listening to his daughter's introduction, Mr. Du Chengyu saw that the room was basically filled with royal relatives, so he hurriedly brought his family, young and old, to pay their respects to the prince.

Yongqi knew that his status made these old people too restrained, so he told the elders that he wanted to go out for a walk. After that, he got his uncle's consent, and pulled Benjamin and the others out of the reception room, leaving the space to Xiaoyanzi and other relatives who came from afar.

Most of the children had gone out, and Du Chengyu wanted to see his grandchildren, so he left his own children behind.

Xiao Zhihang felt that he could not neglect his brothers, so he asked Xiao Feng to greet the elders and then go out to entertain his brothers.

Du Cheng and his wife Hua Yan also knew about entertaining the guests, so after talking to Xiao Feng for a few words, they let him go out to entertain the guests.

At this time, there were only Xiao Zhihang and his wife, Du Cheng and his wife, Du Xueyin's elder brother Du Xueyang and sister-in-law Yang Anxia, ​​as well as a half-grown boy and two little kids in the reception room.

Du Xueyang's son, twelve-year-old Du Shaoan, and Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei.

Du Xueying asked her parents to sit in the main seat, and they took Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei to sit in the lower seat, with her brother and sister-in-law sitting opposite them.

Old Madam Du looked kindly at her granddaughter Xiaoyanzi, whom she met for the first time in her life, and Xueyin, who recognized her adopted daughter Ziwei. She couldn't help but wave at them, motioning them to come closer so that she could take a closer look.

"Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei, come, come to grandma, let grandma take a good look at you."

Hearing their grandmother's kind and gentle voice, Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei walked up to their grandfather and grandmother and shouted in unison, "Hello, Grandpa, Grandma."

"Hey, these two good kids are really good-looking and well-behaved."

Du Cheng and Hua Yan were extremely happy to see that their granddaughter was so pretty. As expected, their granddaughter was much more well-behaved and lovely than their grandson.

"Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei, come and call your aunt. Your aunt has prepared gifts for you."
