Chapter 342 Aunt
Chapter 342 Aunt
What aunt? Who is the aunt?
Are you calling me?
The two children, a boy and a girl, saw that Xiaocao'er didn't respond, so they called out again, "Auntie Xiaocao'er, nice to meet you."
After saying that, the two of them bowed to Xiao Cao'er.
Xiao Cao'er then realized that she was being called, and quickly responded, "Hello, may I ask who you are? You called me aunt, maybe you recognized the wrong person?"
"No mistake."
"Yes, I'm not wrong."
"I just heard that my aunt was coming to my grandparents' house for a banquet, otherwise we would have come a long time ago."
At this time, the old lady of Duke Liu's mansion came over with a group of old ladies.
They walked up to the two children, knelt down and bowed.
Seeing this, the others also knelt down and said, "Greetings to the prince, greetings to the princess."
When Xiao Cao'er heard that they were the prince and princess, and saw everyone kneeling, she was thinking about whether she should kneel down as well, but the little princess held her hand, and she took the opportunity to bow to the two nobles.
"Please don't be so polite, everyone. I am here in disguise to look for someone. I have nothing else to do. Please do as you please." The eldest prince said to everyone.
There are currently three princes and one princess.
Now these two are the eldest prince and the princess, and the other two princes are still young.
At this time, Qi Xingyun, who was in the front yard, also rushed over after hearing the report.
At this time, everyone was watching operas and listening to music, so there was no separation between male and female guests.
When Qi Xingyun arrived, he saw the two of them sitting on Xiaocao'er's left and right. Lu, Lu Ling'er, Su Yuwei and others formed a semicircle around them.
"Aunt Xiaocao'er, I heard from mother that she got a set of checkers from you before?" asked the little princess.
Xiao Cao'er was about to answer when she saw Qi Xingyun and Zheng Huaming coming over.
When the eldest prince and the princess saw this, they stood up and saluted Qi Xingyun and said, "Greetings to the Imperial Uncle. Hello, Imperial Uncle. Hello, Uncle Zheng."
"Brother Xingyun, Brother Huaming." Xiao Caoer called.
"Why did you two come out of the palace?" Qi Xingyun asked, touching their heads.
"My dear uncle, we came out to look for Aunt Xiaocaoer." The eldest prince replied.
"Uncle Royal, we are here to play with Aunt Xiaocaoer." said the little princess.
Qi Xingyun looked at Xiaocaoer, as if asking Xiaocaoer: Is what they said true?
Xiao Cao'er blinked her eyes, as if answering Qi Xingyun: I don't know, when did I become their aunt, do I have such ability?
They call me aunt, so doesn’t that mean I am the emperor’s sister?
"Uncle Royal, we heard that Aunt Xiaocao gave a set of checkers to our mother. We wanted to ask where she bought it. We also want to buy one set, not two." said the little princess.
Everyone around pricked up their ears to listen to them.
Everyone heard the two noble ladies call Xiaocao'er aunt, and also heard Yang Xiaocao'er call Prince Yun brother Xingyun.
This was a very serious name. Everyone was frightened and was trying to remember whether they had said anything rude to the girl from the Yang family just now.
The ones who were most frightened were Hu Yingxue and Wang Shuyao. They didn't expect that the village girl they looked down upon would be called aunt by the prince.
Mrs. Lu felt that the way they addressed each other was a bit confusing. Prince Yun was older than Zheng Huaming.
Xiao Caoer calls Zheng Huaming brother because of Damao. But calling Prince Yun brother seems wrong, doesn't it?
No one cared what Lu was thinking.
The main focus is on Xiaocaoer and the little princess.
"Yes, I got it by chance some time ago. It may not be sold outside yet." Xiao Cao'er answered truthfully.
"Ha, it's not sold." said the little princess with a disappointed look on her face.
"Do you like to play?" Xiao Caoer asked.
The eldest prince and the little princess nodded together and said, "I like it, but there is only one set that we both want to play with, and there are not enough to share."
"It's just right. I brought a checkers here today. I was thinking that if I was bored at the party, I could take it out and play with it. But I haven't had the chance to play it yet." Xiao Cao'er said and asked Yuexi to take out the checkers from her backpack.
"Wow, that's it, so beautiful!" The little princess' eyes lit up when she saw the checkers.
The eldest prince's pretending to be serious face gradually began to crack, and his eyes began to sparkle.
Because checkers are made of glass, and glass was very precious in ancient times, these checkers also appear very precious.
"Crown Prince, Little Princess, do you know how to play?" Xiao Cao'er asked.
"Not yet." The little princess picked up a glass ball and looked at it from left to right, seeming reluctant to let it go.
Qi Xingyun saw that they would not be able to learn it in a short time, so he simply said, "Let's go back home first."
The guards and eunuchs who followed the prince and princess out breathed a sigh of relief. It was much safer to go back to Prince Yun's Mansion than here.
There is a banquet going on at Duke Liu's Mansion. There are too many people and it's noisy. I'm afraid something might happen, so it's better to go back to Prince Yun's Mansion as soon as possible.
Qi Xingyun took the prince, princess and Xiao Cao'er onto the carriage of Prince Yun's Mansion, while Zheng Huaming said goodbye to Liu Guogong behind.
When Mrs. Lu, Lu Ling'er and others saw them leave, they also said goodbye.
Just like that, the autumn banquet at Duke Liu’s mansion came to an end.
This was the first time Xiaocaoer attended such a banquet since coming to the capital, and also the first banquet since traveling through time.
