Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

"Huai'an, why don't you eat? Don't you like this dish?"

Seeing Huai'an in a daze, Cheng Xile asked him in confusion.

Huai'an found his voice again and asked him with difficulty, "Do you usually eat like this?"

Cheng Xile chuckled, "We usually eat very quickly, but we don't fight over food like we are doing now. We are so excited now, simply because we are tired of eating dry food on the road. We haven't eaten oily food in a long time."

Huai'an said, "Why do you eat so fast? Sister Fuling said that chewing slowly is good for your health."

"It's impossible to chew slowly when marching and fighting. Just fill your stomach. The faster you eat, the better. This way you can eat more dry food than others and have more time to prepare."

Huai'an was still puzzled, "But you are not soldiers, you are growing children."

"Children of the Cheng family are born for the battlefield. Even though we are just children now, in the future we will all fight to protect the Yuan Dynasty like our great-grandfather, grandfather, and father did."

Ever since they could remember, they had been taught to defend the Yuan Dynasty.

This is the duty of the military generals and also the duty of the Cheng family.

Huai'an couldn't help but praise, "Your Cheng family is amazing!"

Cheng Xile straightened his chest proudly, "Of course, there is not a single coward in our Cheng family army."

Although he is not yet an official member of the Cheng family army, one day he will be as powerful as his great-grandfather.

"Huai'an, you eat too," Cheng Ping'an on the other side put a greasy chicken leg into Huai'an's bowl.

"Thank you," Huai'an thanked sincerely.

Cheng Ping'an chuckled, holding the bowl and wiping the oil stains from his mouth with his sleeve.

Huai'an: "..."

I suddenly don't feel like eating this chicken leg.

Cheng Anle, who was sitting across the table, was already half full and his eating speed slowed down.

He lowered his voice and asked Huai'an slyly, "We want to go treasure hunting in the back mountain tonight. Do you want to come?"

"Treasure hunt in the back mountain? What is that?"

Cheng Anle chuckled, "It's very fun."

Cheng Xian disagreed, "Huaian is only four years old, his aunt won't let him go with us, let's wait until next time."

Cheng Pingan also nodded, "I also think it's not appropriate to bring Huai'an to tonight's event."

This group of people have always been free-range and are used to living in the wild in the northwest. As long as there is no danger, the adults will not restrict them too much.

But Huai'an is obviously a good boy and is well protected.

If they get hurt while following them, won’t the aunt skin them alive?

After hearing what they said, Cheng Anle also hesitated, "Huai'an, you are indeed a little young, how about you just pretend that I didn't say anything?"

Huai'an looked at Cheng Xian, then at Cheng Anle, and finally said in a clear voice, "How about you tell me how to play the treasure hunt in the back mountain first?"

"After dark, we split into teams and went into the mountains to look for treasures. The team that found the most treasures wins, and the winning team can ask the losing team to agree to three requests. These requests include but are not limited to taking the blame, taking the blame, and being punished. Of course, the prerequisite is that you cannot kill or set fire to anything that violates the law or family rules."

Huai'an was shocked when he heard this, "Do you guys do this often?"

"Before, we always went into the mountains to hunt, or went out of the city for patrol. Anyway, the rules are the same."

"Won't your parents worry about you?"

"Well, it doesn't matter. We all grew up in the mountains."

"At first, the adults took us into the mountains to familiarize us with the route, but later we went on our own. It was so much fun."

"Yes, my father told me that they and my aunt, your mother, played like this when they were little."

Huai'an was tempted when he heard that his mother had played like this when she was a child.

At this time, Cheng Anle said again, "Huai'an, don't worry. We have already visited the back mountain in advance. As long as we don't go deep into the mountains, there will be no danger."

Huai'an thought for a moment and said, "I'll discuss this with my mother and then get back to you, okay?"

"Okay," Cheng Anle agreed readily.

"If your aunt agrees to let you stay, you can go to the back mountain with us tonight. If not, then you can come and play with us tomorrow."

Huai'an nodded seriously, "Okay!"

After dinner, the adults chatted for a while. Meng Yunshang saw that Old Madam Cheng looked tired, so she took the initiative to say goodbye.

Cheng and Meng Jinyou also stood up.

Huai'an gently pulled Meng Yunshang's sleeve, "Mom, I have something to tell you."

Meng Yunshang didn't think much about it and readily agreed, "Okay, let's go back to the carriage and talk about it."

"If you don't want to talk in the carriage, then go over there and talk."

Huai'an pointed at the big tree in the yard, and at the same time pulled Lu Chenxiao's sleeve, "Father is coming too."

Meng Yunshang and Lu Chenxiao looked at each other and let Huai'an pull them under the tree.

"Go ahead, father and mother are listening."

Huai'an tugged at the corner of his clothes and told the truth, "Brother Anle and his friends want to go treasure hunting in the back mountain tonight and asked me to go with them. Mother, can I go?"

"Treasure hunt in the back mountain?"

Familiar words, not difficult to understand at all.

Meng Yunshang immediately understood what he meant and chuckled, "Baby, do you really want to go?"

Huai'an nodded, "They said it was very interesting. Huai'an was curious, so he wanted to follow and see."

Meng Yunshang looked up at Lu Chenxiao, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"Childish!" Lu Chenxiao was a little disgusted.

Huai'an retorted, "Brother Ping'an said that my mother often played such games when she was a child, so she is not childish at all."

Lu Chenxiao was suddenly speechless.

He could dislike his son for being childish, but he could never say in front of Shang'er that she was also childish when she was a child.

"Mom, Huai'an has never played with so many people. I really want to try it."

"The treasure hunt will end very late. Will you still have the energy to make it back to the palace by then?"

"Can I sleep with my brothers?"

Meng Yunshang was stunned. This was the first time the little guy asked to stay overnight outside.

She was shocked.

Just as she was about to ask him if he was scared, she heard Lu Chenxiao readily agree, "Sure! You can sleep in the general's mansion tonight."

Meng Yunshang: “…”

Don't you dare to answer faster!

Huai'an didn't understand his father's dark thoughts, and asked happily, "So, did father agree to let me go to the back mountain to look for treasure?"

"Xuanwu and Xuanqi will stay and protect you in secret. You are not in danger, they will not show up."

Huai'an thought about it and nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll do as my father says."

"Then mother asked Dangui to go back to the mansion to get your change of clothes."

"Thank you, my understanding mother."

Lu Chenxiao snorted.

Huai'an understood immediately, "Thank you too, father."

"If you dare to get yourself hurt, you won't have such an opportunity next time."

Parents' understanding is based on their children's safety.

"Okay," Huai'an nodded happily.

"Huai'an!" Cheng Anle and Cheng Xile called him quietly in the corridor.

Huai'an looked up at Meng Yunshang, and the meaning of his question was very obvious.

Meng Yunshang chuckled, "Go ahead."

"Thank you, mother. I'm going now."

The little guy ran towards Cheng Anle and the others happily, and even when he was still quite far away from them, he cheered happily, "My mother promised me to stay."

"Wow, that's great!"

"Hurry, hurry, you're the only one missing."

Looking at the excited figures of the little ones, Meng Yunshang couldn't help but smile.

"Shang'er also loved playing treasure hunt games with Cheng Yao and the others when she was a child?"

Meng Yunshang nodded, "It's not just the treasure hunt game. I will participate in all their activities."

Lu Chenxiao sighed softly and said sourly, "Why didn't I think of visiting the General's Mansion at that time?"

That way, he could have gotten to know her earlier.

"I was very naughty when I was little. If the prince really came to the general's mansion at that time, I'm afraid he would be scared away by me."

Thinking about myself as a child, I was so idle that even the dog in the general’s mansion was annoyed by me.

Meng Yunshang couldn't help laughing out loud.

When Lu Chenxiao met her smiling eyes, his heart suddenly softened like a pool of spring water.
