The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 1167 - 990, You Have to Cover Me

On the day Xiao Moreng arrived, Daohua sent the meals directly to Laiyi Hall to ensure he could rest well without the need to travel back and forth.

Nanny Fan’s smile deepened upon seeing that all the dishes were plain and easy to digest, good for recuperating.

Although the Prince hadn’t fallen ill on the journey from Beijing to Xiliang, the long carriage ride had still affected his appetite significantly.

Now that he had just arrived in Xiliang, it was not suitable to eat food that was too greasy.

After a bath, Xiao Moreng came out to find that Nanny Fan had already set the table with food, most of which were his favorites, which made his lips involuntarily curl up into a smile.

While attending to Xiao Moreng’s meal, Nanny Fan said with a smile, "On the way here, this old servant was worried that Your Highness might not get used to living in the Prince Residence. But now, seeing the Princess Consort has taken care of everything for Your Highness, it seems I was worried over nothing."

Xiao Moreng arched his eyebrows, a childlike pride in his tone: "Auntie has always been good to me since I was young. I remember when I played at the Four Seasons Manor as a child, Auntie would always make me delicious food personally."

Nanny Fan, hearing Xiao Moreng’s fondness for the Princess Consort and knowing the Princess Consort’s affection for the Prince, was secretly pleased. In Xiliang, the Fourth Prince Residence lacked connections, but with the Princess Consort’s care and protection, she felt much more at ease about the Prince’s wellbeing.

After dinner, Xiao Moreng went to rest. He got up early the next day, moved his body around in the courtyard, and after washing up, he stepped out of the courtyard towards the main building.

Not long after he stepped out, Xiao Moreng saw a small boy with a fierce look, dressed in short robes and shorts, rushing towards him at high speed.

The boy was fast, not because he knew martial arts, but because he was standing on something Xiao Moreng had never seen before—a thing that was carrying the boy swiftly towards him.

Xiao Moreng’s personal eunuchs, Little Fuzi and Little Shunzi saw someone charging straight at their young master and hurriedly stood in front of Xiao Moreng to protect him.

"Zii~"

The anticipated collision did not happen. Daozi performed a beautiful emergency brake two to three meters away from Xiao Moreng, stopping the skateboard firmly in its tracks.

Daozi hopped off the skateboard, his round eyes curiously examining Xiao Moreng in front of him.

Xiao Moreng recognized Daozi’s identity. The only child daring enough to dash about in the Prince Residence like this was his cousin, who had been named and appointed Princely Heir by the Imperial Grandfather at birth—there was no other who dared to do so.

Daozi tilted his head, sizing up Xiao Moreng, "My mother says, you are my brother?"

Xiao Moreng nodded with a smile.

Daozi’s eyes lit up, "The brothers in other families would always protect their younger siblings. Would you do the same? If I were bullied, you would stand up for me, right?"

Xiao Moreng said with a smile, "Of course I would."

Having received the answer he wanted, Daozi’s eyes crinkled with satisfaction, and he reached out to pinky promise with Xiao Moreng.

Looking at the chubby little hand before him, Xiao Moreng felt a sense of novelty.

He himself had a legitimate younger brother, but the brother was only three years old and Xiao Moreng, occupied with his studies, had moved to the front residence early on, seeing his brother only during greeting and meal times, seldom playing together.

There were half-brothers in the residence, too, but he rarely interacted with them.

Although Xiao Moreng was the legitimate eldest son of the Fourth Prince Residence, having grown up to this age, he had not truly experienced the joy of being a big brother.

Now, an unexpected request from a cousin to be looked after piqued his interest immensely.

Xiao Moreng smiled and stretched out his hand, making a pinky promise with Daozi.

After the promise, Daozi’s eyes beamed with joy, "Mother said, brothers fight tigers together and fathers and sons join forces in battle. I’m the eldest in our family, with no one to look after me. I’ve always felt somewhat weak and alone, and just as I felt this, you arrived."

As he spoke, he patted Xiao Moreng’s hand.

"Since you are my brother, you must protect me well."

Xiao Moreng found Daozi to be very amusing and laughed as he asked, "You’re the Crown Prince of the Prince Residence, who would dare to bully you?"

Daozi wrinkled his bun-like face and cast a you-don’t-understand-the-perils-of-this-world glance at Xiao Moreng: "Plenty of people bully me; it’s simply impossible to guard against them all."

"Niudan from Daoxiang Village dares to let his cattle chase me, Goudan dares to set his dog on me, even Little Cuihua dares to have her geese peck at me. Tell me, isn’t my situation pitiful?"

Xiao Moreng was a bit stuck, Niudan, Goudan, Little Cuihua? Who are these people?

Daozi had a servant fetch the skateboard car and directly grabbed Xiao Moreng’s hand, "You want to meet my mother, right? Come on, I’ll take you to her."

Xiao Moreng looked at Daozi with a bit of amusement, this little cousin sure is familiar!

"What’s this?"

When Daozi saw that Xiao Moreng was eyeing the skateboard car, he generously offered, "Want to try it? This is the skateboard car my mother made for me, it’s so much fun. Considering you’re my elder brother, I can lend it to you to play with."

With that said, he stood on the skateboard car and began teaching Xiao Moreng how to ride it.

...

Meanwhile, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang, having dressed and freshened up, were sitting in the room waiting for Daozi to bring Xiao Moreng over so they can all head to Nanshan Hall for breakfast together.

Xiao Yeyang checked the sky, "Why hasn’t he come back yet?"

Daohua laughed and said, "Last night, I told Daozi about Moreng staying in the Residence. Daozi seemed happy to know he had a new elder brother. But he also said he wanted to test this brother to see if he’s up to snuff before deciding how to interact with him."

Xiao Yeyang was a bit speechless, "Look at him showing off, not much in size but certainly full of tricks."

At that moment, Daozi’s robust call could be heard from the courtyard.

"Mother, I’ve brought Fourth Brother back."

Daohua smiled at Xiao Yeyang, "He’s called him ’brother’; seems like the inspection’s passed." With a laugh, she went out of the room.

Daozi ran over with a beaming smile, "Mother, Fourth Brother is so awesome, he learned to ride the skateboard car after just one lesson."

Daohua patted her son on the head, "Then you’ll have to learn a lot more from Fourth Brother from now on."

The reason he’s called Fourth Brother is because Xiao Moreng happens to be fourth in age among the imperial grandsons.

Daozi nodded vigorously with a laugh.

At that time, Xiao Moreng stepped forward to greet Daohua and Xiao Yeyang, "Greetings to Uncle and Aunt."

Daohua said with a smile, "Let’s go, we’ll all head to Nanshan Hall together."

Upon hearing this, Daozi immediately ran to grab Xiao Moreng’s hand and began dragging him out of the courtyard, "Off to meet our esteemed ancestor."

Once they were outside the courtyard, Daozi handed the skateboard car to Xiao Moreng, "Fourth Brother, your turn to ride."

Xiao Moreng had never ridden a skateboard car and was enjoying himself immensely. He didn’t refuse, but as he took the skateboard car, he saw his little cousin say seriously:

"Fourth Brother, now that you’ve ridden my skateboard car, you have to cover for me in the future, no going back on your word."

Xiao Moreng nodded with a smile once again.

Watching this scene, both Daohua and Xiao Yeyang found it somewhat laughably exasperating.

Xiao Yeyang couldn’t help but laugh, "This little rascal sure knows how to make a deal, so young and already looking for a backer."
