"Aunt, we are just here to play. You don't have to worry about us. I...I can just play by myself." Wen Zhimiao said to Qi Guyu again.

Qi Guyu thought about it and felt that it made sense.

She spoke to her sister-in-law and asked the servants to disperse, leaving only some people who were usually responsible for playing with her.

"This...what if something happens to the princess?"

"It's okay, I'll watch from the side. And I'm not dismissing everyone. It seems that Your Highness doesn't like being watched by too many people. If that makes Your Highness uncomfortable, wouldn't it be more troublesome if he goes back to complain to the Empress Dowager?" Qi Guyu explained to his sister-in-law.

The other party thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he nodded and said, "Then it's all up to you. His Highness will be left to your care."

Qi Guyu told her not to worry too much.

After the elders in the family had left, Qi Linglang also relaxed and took Wen Zhimiao and the others out to play as usual.

She took Wen Zhimiao and others to her own courtyard.

The yard looks renovated and there is a small children's playground inside.

Wen Zhimiao did nothing else that day but played happily with Qi Linglang and the others. Besides Qi Linglang, there were a few older men in the Qi Mansion, who looked to be about seven or eight years old.

Wen Zhimiao was forced by her elders to come and play with them, but she didn't want to pay attention to them. She just said that she only wanted to play with her older sister.

The Qi family had no choice but to call all the girls over.

Qi Guyu was observing from the side and felt that this little prince was indeed different from the others.

This little prince is not as spoiled as his peers, and he doesn't put on airs when dealing with girls.

But it’s different towards boys. She has a cold face, is very arrogant and doesn’t want to talk to them.

Of course, if the other person is very polite, she will also be more polite. Although she will not be close, she will not be rude.

Unfortunately, there is only one boy in the entire Qi family who can get a little good treatment from her, and that is her third brother's youngest son. Because her third brother is not at home all year round and is always hanging out outside, this little nephew is taken care of by her third sister-in-law.

The third sister-in-law comes from a scholarly family, and her knowledge and cultivation are far beyond what her uneducated third brother can achieve.

The son she raised is completely different from her third brother.

This young prince was only kind to this one boy, and he was cold and indifferent to everyone else.

Qi Guyu looked after the children in Qi Linglang's yard.

Wen Zhimiao played for the whole day and even had lunch at Qi Mansion.

For the next half month, Wen Zhimiao played around in the homes of these three people. Qi Guyu would occasionally take on the role of Qi Linglang's guardian and accompany her.

Gradually, Wen Zhimiao and Qi Guyu became familiar with each other. They called each other "little aunt" every day. Who couldn't love her?

Every time Wen Zhimiao saw Qi Guyu, he would give her some small gifts. They seemed to be small gifts, but they were very thoughtful.

Sometimes Qi Guyu always felt that compared to the gifts from Wen Zhimiao, the gifts that Xiao Yuanju occasionally gave him were really not thoughtful.

Moreover, Wen Zhimiao's completely unguarded attitude towards Qi Linglang made Qi Taihong unable to figure out what Su Qingluo was thinking.

That day, Wen Zhimiao brought Shi Wanyue and others to Qi Mansion to play. When they arrived, Xiao Yuanju happened to be a guest at Qi Mansion.

Qi Linglang is six years old now, and she is very curious. She has heard that her aunt might get married to this man, so every time she sees Xiao Yuanju coming, she will curiously follow and peek.

A few good friends are here today, and a few little kids want to go too.

Wen Zhimiao saw Xiao Yuanju gave Qi Linglang a hairpin.

According to what Yun Zhou had found out, Xiao Yuanju bought it from a jewelry store in Xuandu City. He didn't put much thought into it, he just asked the store owner which one was the best-selling and most expensive one recently.

That hairpin is very nice, but it's not made with enough care.

Moreover, Wen Zhimiao followed secretly all the way and found that Xiao Yuanju didn't care much about Qi Guyu at all. He seldom praised him or flattered him. This was a common problem of the cold male protagonists in ancient Chinese novels, who didn't talk much.

Qi Guyu also has a common problem among ancient women, especially those from noble families, which is that she likes the other party to ignore her.

Even felt that he was different.

He would be extremely happy if the other party gave him a little sweetness. Sometimes Wen Zhimiao would wonder what was the difference between this and Miss Baizhou?

Although Qi Taihong is an ambitious man, he still loves his daughter very much, right? He doesn't treat her badly.

She could understand Qi Guyu's arrogance, but she couldn't understand why he was so cautious in front of Xiao Yuanju.

A few little brats followed him all the way, and Qi Guyu had actually discovered them a long time ago.

Xiao Yuanju also noticed it, and he looked curiously at the exquisite and beautiful little person in the corner.

"I heard that His Highness Yuan Zhao has been coming to the mansion often to play with the young lady recently?" Xiao Yuanju asked tentatively.

The sound was loud enough for Wen Zhimiao to hear.

As soon as he asked, Wen Zhimiao knew why he came here today. He probably heard that she often came to play, so he wanted to start with her to get close to her mother.

After all, the news from Yun Zhou showed that this bastard was still thinking about her mother.

It's just that her mother always handled official business and never summoned him privately.

As the newly crowned top scholar, he has not yet been officially granted an official position.

After all, this process is rather complicated. Not only him, but many of those who passed the exam this year have not yet been officially granted official positions.

"Yes, Your Highness and Linglang have a very good relationship and grew up together. Recently, the Queen Mother allowed Your Highness to leave the palace, so Your Highness would come over to play from time to time." After Qi Guyu finished speaking, he smiled at the hidden little person.

Wen Zhimiao gave her a well-behaved smile in return.

Xiao Yuanju looked at her and felt a little dazed, as if he saw Su Qingluo when she was a child.

"I heard that the little prince was very smart since he was young and could speak before he was one year old. There are many rumors about the little prince among the people."

After hearing his words, Qi Guyu thought for a moment and asked, "Master Xiao, do you want to meet the young prince?"

When Wen Zhimiao heard that, he didn't hesitate at all. He was too lazy to do anything and just walked out.

The little man looked up at Xiao Yuanju.

"Are you the new top scholar? Linglang's future uncle?" Wen Zhimiao looked at Xiao Yuanju with an arrogant look.

When she asked this, Xiao Yuanju and Qi Guyu were both a little embarrassed for a moment.

Although everyone with a certain status in Xuandu City knew that the two were in contact, it was still a bit embarrassing to be said so bluntly.

Qi Guyu, standing beside him, didn't know how to answer, and his fair little face turned a little red.

Xiao Yuanju bowed to Wen Zhimiao first: "Your Highness, your humble servant Xiao Yuanju greets you."

"I am indeed this year's top scholar. How did Your Highness know about this?"

"Of course I saw her in mother's study. The top three new graduates will go to meet mother. Am I surprised to see you?" Wen Zhimiao put on the airs of a princess and looked at Xiao Yuanju as if he was a fool.

"I am short-sighted. I didn't notice that Your Highness was also in the study." Xiao Yuanju apologized.

Wen Zhimiao waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. You haven't answered my question yet."

"Are you my aunt's future husband?"
