Xiao Yuxi finished eating the candy in her mouth seriously, completely ignoring what her older brother was saying, and looked up at Feng Yue.

"Godmother, Xixi wants more candy." Little Yuxi snuggled close to Fengyue's face, rubbing against her, and stared at her with her big, expectant eyes.

"I want it." Xiao Yuxi pressed her lips to Feng Yue's, smearing her face with saliva.

Feng Yue couldn't help but laugh out loud. She took out the candy wrapped in candy wrapper from her purse, unwrapped it with one hand, and fed it to her.

"Where did this little glutton come from?" Feng Yue pinched Xiao Yuxi's nose.

Xiao Xian watched this scene with a mixture of envy and thoughtfulness.

If he also had candy...

Would she be just as close to him?

Just as she was smiling, an elderly nanny hurried in and whispered to the Duchess, "Madam, someone from the palace just came. The Empress Dowager has decreed that Miss Cousin must be brought to the Lantern Festival banquet."

The Duchess was slightly taken aback.

Did he catch the Empress Dowager's eye after only two days?

So, what did the monks from the national temple say this time?

In her previous life, the Empress Dowager had reservations about women holding official positions.

In her eyes, the Moon Kingdom already had a female general, and now another female official with no background had appeared, which was simply against the ancestral teachings.

It was only after the master of the national temple gave his verdict that his expression changed instantly.

This life has come much earlier than expected.

"The Lantern Festival banquet? Is that the one Second Sister mentioned?" Little Yu Xi looked up, her face full of anticipation. "Does that mean I can see Big Sister again?"

"Yes," the Duchess said with a smile, gently rubbing Xiao Yuxi's little face, "Xixi will be able to see your big sister again."

Xiao Yuxi's eyes lit up. This way she could find out how her older sister was feeling!

The Duchess paused slightly, a flash of inspiration appearing in her mind, and she suddenly looked at the little boy's face.

Xiao Xian...

She had seen him in her past life.

Beside Yu Xi.

Xiao Xian noticed the Duchess's gaze and looked back at her with some surprise.

Can't he even take a few more glances? (╥_╥)

In her past life, Yu Xi had many powerful figures around her, but Xiao Xian was arguably the only irreplaceable one.

It's good that I'm with her so early now.

Xiao Xian took out a dragonfly woven from grass from his sleeve, held it up with both hands, and handed it to Yu Xi with a slightly flushed face. "This... I made this. I hope you like it."

Xiao Yuxi slid down from Feng Yue's arms, took the dragonfly from his hand, and exclaimed in amazement, "Wow, that's amazing! Thank you, bro!"

Xiao Yuxi hadn't finished the candy in her mouth yet, and her speech was still a little unclear.

Xiao Xian's face grew redder and redder, all the way to the roots of his ears.

He had always practiced martial arts and had never met a girl this old before. Moreover, he had been searching for her for a whole year, ever since he accepted the mission, wondering what she looked like.

He never imagined that she was so small and cute, like the little tiger he had raised when he was a child, so adorable and cuddly.

Xiao Yuxi blinked her big eyes, looking at him with some curiosity, and reached out to touch the back of his ear.

"Brother, why is everything on your body red?"

!!!

Xiao Xian instantly took a step back, his pupils shrinking slightly when he saw her bewildered expression, thus avoiding her hand...

He actually dodged her hand!

These legs are no longer needed...

Xiao Xian felt dejected, but forced a smile. "It's getting warmer today, so I'm wearing too many layers."

Xiao Yuxi nodded, and said earnestly with a candy in her mouth, "Then the pot can take off one of its layers, so it won't get hot."

"Xixi, don't tease your brother. He's just recovered, he can't take off his clothes." Feng Yue smiled and took Xiao Yuxi's hand, pulling her away a little.

Xiao Xian quickly took a few more steps forward, "It's okay!"

Xiao Xian looked at Xiao Yuxi, "You can make a fuss."

He can do anything.

Feng Yue sighed softly and said in a low voice, "Be sure to follow the doctor's orders."

Xiao Yuxi played with the dragonfly in her hand, "Can you make another one for me, Brother?"

She wanted to give one to her older sister.

The eldest sister's palace was completely empty. The pillows there were slippery and hard (made of jade), not comfortable at all. Besides books, the room was filled with tall ornaments, making it feel sparsely furnished.

Unlike her small house, which was crammed full.

The older sister must be very lonely.

She wants to give lots and lots of fun things to her older sister!

"We need to go to the small garden; the grass there is more suitable."

Xiao Yuxi quickly looked up at her aunt.

The Duchess shook her head and said helplessly, "Go."

Xiao Xian would never be like that mischievous Mu Yunchen, who would come back with Xi Xi all dirty.

-

Xiao Yuxi squatted in the flower bushes, watching her brother Xiao Xian squatting down to weave a dragonfly for her.

The two little ones disappeared into the flower bushes.

"Poisoning Miss Biao? I won't do that."

Xiao Xian paused in his weaving, then chuckled and gestured for Xi to be quiet.

Xiao Yuxi obediently covered her mouth with both hands.

"The person who poisoned us last time hasn't been caught yet. If I take action now, wouldn't I be taking the blame for the previous person?"

"I heard your brother is looking for a girl recently? Our Madam said she can arrange a match for him if there are any respectable girls from good families. The magistrate of Yansi County only has one daughter, so if this matter is successful, she will help to bring them together."

"But I heard that the godmother that my cousin has taken in is very powerful. Recently, everything my cousin has taken over has been inspected by her."

"It's alright. Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival banquet. Your father is in charge of the carriages in the mansion. Just put this on the pastry in the carriage. Miss Cousin's favorite is Jade Lotus Cake, and she always finishes this plate of pastries no matter where she goes."

"This medicine takes a long time to take effect, usually around the end of the Lantern Festival banquet. Jade Lotus Cake is served at the Lantern Festival banquet every year. And since this happened in the palace, it must have nothing to do with our household."

"This is a job where I'm risking my life, so I need to get something tangible in return."

"Don't worry, once this matter is settled, you'll definitely get your share of the benefits. Our lady is certainly loaded with money."

Xiao Xian straightened up and coldly stared at their backs, like a lurking lion, ready to pounce.

Xiao Yuxi was a little confused. "Why would they poison Xixi? Did Xixi do something wrong?"

Xiao Xian shook his head, his eyes full of laughter, "They were just joking around. No one wanted to poison Xi Xi, and Xi Xi didn't do anything wrong. Xi Xi, look."

Xiao Xian plucked a few blades of grass, rubbed them together lightly, twisted them tightly, and pulled them back. "If someone bullies you next time, you can strangle that person like this and pull them back. The person who bullied you will never bully you again."

Xiao Xian smiled as he wiped the blood from the finger he was demonstrating, looking at her gently.
