Xiaosuisui lifted her head from the dim sum platter, glanced at Wang Dongxueâs belly, and before saying anything, heard Wang Dongxue scold Ji Youyuan.
"You should admit that your martial arts arenât as good as hers; losing to your own niece isnât shameful!"
Ji Youyuan: "..."
Upon hearing this, Xiaosuisui blinked, and before speaking, saw her uncleâs face suddenly turn red.
"Letâs not worry about taking the pulse for now. Let Suisui take a bath, change clothes, and have something to eat first!"
As Wang Dongxue said this, the voices of Yunxiang and Yun Duo, along with Nanny Zhang, could be heard from outside.
"Madam, Young Master, us servants are here to assist Her Highness Princess Lianchun in bathing and changing clothes."
Upon hearing Yun Duoâs voice, Xiaosuisui instinctively hid behind Wang Dongxue.
"Whatâs wrong?"
Wang Dongxue asked in confusion.
Xiaosuisui timidly poked her head out and looked towards the door, speaking softly.
"Nanny Zhang is really annoying. As soon as I get home, she makes me learn etiquette."
The expression on her face was almost about to cry.
Wang Dongxue: "..."
Ji Youyuan: "..." Even you have times of fear?
That look in his eyes seemed to hold a hint of mischief!
Yunxiang and Yun Duo walked in, just in time to hear what Xiaosuisui said, and couldnât help but smile.
"Rest assured, Princess, Nanny Zhang didnât come. Princess Lianchun just returned from outside, so sheâs still getting used to many things. Nanny Zhang is currently attending to Princess Lianchun!"
Xiaosuisuiâs whole expression lit up with joy upon hearing this.
"Really?
Nanny Zhang went to teach my aunt the rules instead?
Sheâs not going to teach me etiquette anymore?"
Yunxiang and Yun Duo: "..."
"Are you that afraid of Nanny Zhang?"
Wang Dongxue remarked with a mix of amusement and irritation, thinking how bold this little girl usually is, yet she also has someone she fears!
"Nanny Zhang always remembers to teach me rules, doesnât let me go anywhere!"
Ji Youyuan walked over, glanced at her nonchalantly, "Honestly, if she didnât make you learn etiquette, wouldnât you be fond of Nanny Zhang?"
Xiaosuisui giggled, scratching the back of her head.
"If Nanny Zhang didnât teach me the rules, that would be wonderful!"
The little girl giggled, her smile even brighter than the sunshine outside.
"Even if you donât learn now, youâll have to in the future. Youâre the Great Hanâs princess; not learning etiquette is out of the question."
Wang Dongxue held her little hand, guiding her towards the bathroom while advising her.
Xiaosuisui pouted, "But learning rules is so boring!"
"But if you donât learn the proper etiquette, youâll be ridiculed in the future. Do you want to be laughed at, or do you want to be able to walk out proudly, like a proper little lady?"
Xiaosuisui thought for a moment and said, "I donât want to be a lady; I want to be a heroine!"
"?"
"The picture books always say the heroines in the Jianghu are very skilled.
They uphold justice, rob the rich to give to the poor, are beautiful and kind-hearted!"
Wang Dongxue felt like laughing; with your little mouth talking non-stop like this, who knows what the world will be like!
"Forget about robbing the rich and helping the poor, and just aim to be a kind-hearted and beautiful princess."
The maids brought the hot water over and poured it into the bathtub. Yun Duo and Yunxiang quickly said to Wang Dongxue, "Madam, please stay here! The floor is wet, be careful not to slip!"
These two girls, having come from the palace, could think ahead about any situation.
"Iâll leave Suisui to you. Keep an eye on her; children love to play with water. Make sure she comes out if the water gets cold, understand?"
"Yes, Madam, rest assured. We sisters will keep a close watch on the princess and wonât let her play in the water."
Yunxiang quickly replied, taking Xiaosuisui, and started undressing her to place her into the bathtub.
Leaving the bathroom, and just returning to the room, Ji Youyuan came in. Since Xiaosuisui was using the bathroom, he just washed his face simply in the room.
Seeing Wang Dongxue return, he naturally reached out to hold her hand and asked worriedly, "How are you feeling now? Are the two children still causing a ruckus?"
"These past few days have been slightly better, but I canât be sure. I just feel they are moving more. The Second Brother and the imperial physicians said that because itâs twins, they might be fighting, and the umbilical cord might have wrapped around one of the babiesâ neck."
