The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 1166 - 989, The Sense of Familiarity Remains Unchanged

Chapter 1166: Chapter 989, The Sense of Familiarity Remains Unchanged

"Moreng, do you still remember me?"

Daohua smiled as she looked at Xiao Moreng, the legitimate eldest son of the Fourth Prince. It had been several years since they last met, and the once baby boy had now grown into a refined young man.

Xiao Moreng quickly stepped forward to greet them: "Moreng pays his respects to Uncle Prince and Aunt Princess."

Xiao Yeyang smiled and nodded his head, while Daohua went forward to help him up: "Good child, stand up. You must be exhausted after the journey, aren’t you?"

Because they once saved Xiao Moreng, the Fourth Prince Residence maintained good relations with them, and she was quite fond of the boy.

Xiao Moreng looked at his aunt, who seemed almost unchanged from his memories, and smiled as he shook his head: "Replying to Aunt Princess, I am fine, but some of my younger brothers are indeed a bit tired."

Daohua had Xiao Moreng sit down, and ordered the maids to serve fruits: "You didn’t pick the right time to come. June and July are the hottest months in Xiliang. Did you suffer any heatstroke or illness on the way?"

After all, he is the son of a Prince, so pleasantries must be exchanged.

Hearing this, Xiao Moreng couldn’t help but make a comment in his heart.

When to come, and whether to come at all, was not decided by the Fourth Prince Residence. His father and mother did not want him traveling in the heat, but when other uncles and aunts chose this time to come, what could he do?

If the Fourth Prince Residence did not follow along, they would certainly be criticized for lacking filial piety.

Though these thoughts filled his mind, Xiao Moreng was extremely respectful in his response: "With the Imperial Physician accompanying us all the way and regularly drinking herbal decoctions to ward off the heat, we did not suffer from heat illness."

Daohua nodded with a smile: "That’s good to hear. You have no idea, when I received the letter from your Imperial Grandfather saying you would be coming, I was a bit worried. The journey from Beijing to Xiliang is long and arduous. Thankfully, you have arrived safely."

"By the way, how are your father and mother? Are they well?"

"Thank you for your concern, Aunt Princess. Father and mother are both very well."

Daohua made conversation with Xiao Moreng about light, everyday matters, which helped to ease the nervousness he felt upon his initial arrival at the Prince Residence.

Indeed, within just a short time, Xiao Moreng seemed less tense and more relaxed.

Xiao Yeyang quietly observed Xiao Moreng, noticing that although the eldest legitimate son of the Fourth Prince was young, his manners were already impeccable.

Other families sent their younger legitimate sons, the intention being obvious. Only the Fourth Prince sent his eldest legitimate son. freewebnσvel.cøm

According to Daxia’s laws, the eldest legitimate son is to inherit the family assets, which shows that among all the Princes who sent their sons here, the Fourth Prince’s heart for venerating the old lord seems to be the most sincere.

Because of this, Xiao Yeyang felt an increased sense of fondness for Xiao Moreng.

After Daohua and Xiao Moreng had exchanged enough pleasantries, Xiao Yeyang finally asked: "You’re eleven this year, aren’t you?"

Xiao Moreng nodded: "Yes, Uncle Prince."

Xiao Yeyang: "You look quite sturdy. Have you been practicing martial arts?"

Once again, Xiao Moreng nodded. Before coming, his father had told him that this Uncle Prince was highly skilled in martial arts. While in Xiliang, in addition to paying respects to the Duke, he should seize every opportunity to ask the Prince for guidance.

With his father suffering from ear problems, the future of the Fourth Prince Residence rested on him. Possessing excellent martial skills was beneficial and harmless, no matter what he might do in the future.

"Replying to Uncle Prince, I have been practicing martial arts since the age of five and have learned Internal Martial Arts."

Xiao Yeyang laughed and said: "I can tell your father has been very diligent in teaching you. Now that you are in Xiliang, you must not slacken your efforts. Martial arts training requires persistence, and you must not interrupt it. If you have any questions in the future, you can come to ask me."

Xiao Moreng’s face lit up with joy, and he quickly stood up to bow: "Thank you, Uncle Prince, I will remember your teachings."

Daohua interjected with a smile: "All right, there’s plenty of time for that in the days to come. Let’s not rush and discuss it later. Moreng must be tired from the journey. Let him go and freshen up."

Xiao Moreng also wanted to rest but did not forget the purpose of his visit to Xiliang, hesitatingly he said: "Thank you for your kindness, Aunt Princess, but should I not first pay a visit to the Duke?"

Daohua smiled and said, "There’s no rush, the old master is still in quiet recuperation, and at this time every day he takes a little nap. Today you should rest first, and by tomorrow’s breakfast, you will be able to meet everyone."

Xiao Moreng no longer said much, "Thank you, auntie, for resolving my confusion. I will listen to auntie."

Daohua liked obedient children, and her smile brightened, "The courtyard you’ll be staying in has already been tidied up. From now on, live well within the residence and, should you need or lack anything, just tell your auntie. Treat this as your own home, and please don’t be reserved."

Xiao Moreng smiled and gave a bow, "Thank you, auntie, for the trouble you and Uncle Wang have taken for me."

Daohua chuckled, "You child, you’ve become so much more polite since you were little."

When Xiao Moreng heard Daohua mention his childhood, a hint of shy smile appeared on his face. He was an adult now, how could he cling to his auntie like when he was little?

Daohua didn’t dwell on other matters and had Guyu escort Xiao Moreng to Laiyi Hall.

...

Laiyi Hall.

Looking at the lush small bamboo grove inside the courtyard, Xiao Moreng was quite pleased.

Seeing this, Guyu smiled and said, "The Princess Consort said that His Highness liked bamboo since he was a child, so she specially tidied up this bamboo-planted courtyard for His Highness."

After hearing this, a joyous expression crossed Xiao Moreng’s face, "Auntie actually remembers this, she has really put in a lot of effort."

Guyu replied, "If His Highness lives comfortably, our Princess Consort will be happy too."

After leading Xiao Moreng into the main room, Guyu excused herself.

Once only the people from the fourth Prince Residence were left in the room, Xiao Moreng relaxed, stretching his body and sitting in the chair.

The nanny who came to attend to him hurried forward and poured a cup of tea for Xiao Moreng, "Your Highness, the hot water is ready, would you like to take a bath?"

After taking a few sips of tea, Xiao Moreng spoke, "No rush." He then looked around at the people in the room—these were the eunuchs and maids who served him closely.

"Nanny, have all the others been arranged properly?"

Compared with some of his other cousins, the number of servants he brought this time was not too many, but together with bodyguards, the number was not small either.

Nanny Fan smiled and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, everything has been arranged. The location of Laiyi Hall where we are staying is good, adjacent to the front courtyard. The bodyguards are staying in the courtyard there, just a wall away from us."

After hearing this, Xiao Moreng nodded, "Auntie has taken a lot of trouble." His mind eased somewhat as well.

On their journey here, they had received news that Uncle Wang and his family were reluctant to have them stay at Weiyuan Prince Residence, and because of this, he was quite worried all the way.

Other cousins had relatives in Liangdu, but he had none.

However, it was a relief that upon seeing each other again, his auntie was still as kind to him as she was in his childhood, and he could still feel closeness from her. Although Uncle Wang seemed a bit more stern, he didn’t feel afraid.

They were as familiar to him as he remembered them to be.

Nanny Fan nodded in agreement, "The Princess Consort’s arrangements are indeed well-considered." In the courtyard, aside from the servants sweeping and guarding the gate, the Princess Consort had no intention of interfering with the young master’s daily life, which brought her much relief.

Before coming here, she had been worried that the Princess Consort would manage the young master, making it difficult for the servants. Now it seemed they had overthought it.

Xiao Moreng thought and then said, "We’ve come to the Prince Residence and have already disturbed Uncle Wang and auntie. In the future, you must not cause any trouble in the residence. If I find out, I will punish severely without mercy."

The people in the room quickly nodded in agreement.

From the age of five, the fourth Prince began to personally teach Xiao Moreng about the ways of the world. In the Prince Residence, nobody dared to be duplicitous with him due to his young age.
