Chapter 349: The Princess's Whims
Chapter 349: The Princess's Whims
The guests presented their gifts, offering abundant gifts to the Prince Qi's Manor, or rather, to little Sui Sui, as a sign of respect.
Princess Qi watched this scene unfold with a sense of relief.
These people remembered the favors Sui Sui's family had shown them in the past.
Her brave act of saving someone had not been in vain.
Princess Qi had no intention of letting go of Sui Sui's hand, holding onto her with one hand while holding onto Feng Xuanrui with the other.
Feng Xuanrui, concerned about Sui Sui, quickly released his mother's hand and turned to hold Sui Sui's hand instead.
Princess Qi allowed his action, her expression softening even further.
More and more guests arrived, and Princess Qi busied herself with socializing and hospitality.
During her interactions, she made sure to introduce her little county princess.
Sui Sui had grown accustomed to her full name, or rather, she had memorized it.
She now had a given name, a title, and many, many names.
And with them...
Came an abundance of love.
Sui Sui felt content and obediently allowed her mother to lead her, introducing her to different people.
Among these guests, some were gentle and loving, some had scrutinizing gazes, some were slightly cold, and others were overly enthusiastic.
Regardless, Sui Sui greeted everyone with good manners.
Her cousin had instructed her, reminding her that as the host, she must be gracious and polite to the guests.
As long as they didn't show any disrespect, it wouldn't do for her to display her likes and dislikes so openly.
Although Sui Sui didn't fully understand, she remembered her cousin's words, and the system was also there to prompt her.
While the system wanted to spoil the child, it also understood that too much indulgence could be harmful.
Sui Sui had a long life ahead of her in the capital, and she would encounter many people along the way.
Thus, there were many things she needed to learn from a young age.
Fortunately, Sui Sui was receptive to this, which brought the system some peace of mind.
Several children had come today, and as the banquet progressed, they grew restless and began to wander off in small groups to play.
Seeing that most of the children had left to enjoy themselves, Princess Qi finally relented and allowed Sui Sui to join them.
She could always protect this child, but Sui Sui also needed her own space and friends.
So, no matter how reluctant Princess Qi was, she knew that sometimes she had to let go.
Thankfully, with Feng Xuanrui and the others watching over Sui Sui, Princess Qi could feel somewhat relieved.
Shen Huatang and Liu Hemeng each held one of Sui Sui's hands as they walked forward.
The manor was spacious, and children could be seen playing in various areas.
After asking for Sui Sui's opinion, they set off to find Ying Zhi.
At that moment, Ying Zhi was keeping Feng Youdan company, and Feng Youdan...
Was pestering Lu Yinxiao.
Usually, Feng Youdan wouldn't dare bother Lu Yinxiao, and she wouldn't even dare to look directly at him.
But!!!
Feng Youdan had heard that her second brother was ill!
They, as outsiders, had no way of knowing the details of his condition.
So, mustering her courage, Feng Youdan stopped Lu Yinxiao, hoping to get some information about her brother from him.
"Third Brother, please, tell me, how is Second Brother doing? Is he feeling better? How's his leg...?"
"Third Brother, Third Brother, don't leave! Please!"
"Third Brother, say something, please, Third Brother!"
......
The proud little princess had lowered her stance, but it was to no avail as Lu Yinxiao remained silent.
Sui Sui happened to stumble upon this scene.
Feng Youdan was seething, looking ready to explode.
Lu Yinxiao wasn't staying silent on purpose; he had explained the situation from the beginning, but Feng Youdan simply wouldn't listen.
At that moment, seeing the young girl's face puff up like a balloon, he sighed helplessly, "Your second brother is truly fine. He's seen a physician, taken medicine, and is just resting his voice. It's not something that will heal immediately."
These words Lu Yinxiao had spoken once before, and he had no desire to repeat them.
However, he didn't want to upset the young lady and had to consider Feng Youdan's identity as a princess, so he ultimately compromised and spoke up.
Upon hearing that her second brother was ill, Sui Sui quietly asked, "What's wrong with second brother?" After asking, she realized that she should have addressed Lu Yinxiao as 'fourth brother' out of respect for her other brothers.
But, her mother had said that she could call him however she pleased, and it truly didn't matter.
However, now that she had already called him that, Sui Sui had no intention of changing it.
The little girl's round, black eyes sparkled with curiosity as she looked at him, and Lu Yinxiao nodded slightly, feeling a bit uncomfortable, "He's fine, just resting his voice. He's already taken medicine."
After answering, Lu Yinxiao didn't forget to express his gratitude, "Thank you, Mingxi, for your concern."
Lu Yinxiao had given a similar explanation twice already, and he had no desire to repeat himself.
However, Feng Youdan still didn't believe him, plucking up the courage to tug on Lu Yinxiao's sleeve, refusing to let go, "Third brother, please, tell me more. I'm still worried about second brother. How is he feeling? How's his leg...?"
"Third brother, don't leave! Please!"
"Third brother, say something, please! Third brother!"
......
The proud little princess had lowered her stance, but to no avail, as Lu Yinxiao remained silent.
Sui Sui happened to stumble upon this scene, and Feng Youdan was seething, looking ready to explode.
