Chapter 177.2
The three children got onto the Jin Wang Manor carriage. This was probably their first time riding in someone else’s carriage, so Xuan Ge’er was interested in everything. He started feeling around the carriage. Even the big soft cushion that Xiaobao used to sit on, he wanted to pull up to play with.
Unfortunately, neither Xiaobao nor Yan Ge’er wanted to get up after sitting down on it. Xuan Ge’er could only reluctantly come over, and throw himself onto the cushion. He sighed: “It’s so soft. I’ll ask my mother to make one for me when I go back. “
He only said this because Xiaobao had said his mother arranged for someone to make this cushion for him. He had to compare everything with others. Fortunately, Xiaobao was not a real child. Otherwise, the two would definitely fight.
Once they arrived at Jin Wang Manor, Xiaobao asked Yan Ge’er to stay. He couldn’t deal with Xuan Ge’er alone. Yan Ge’er agreed and asked the people of Qing Wang Manor to go back to share the word. Then he entered Jin Wang Manor together with Xiaobao and Xuan Ge’er.
Huahua not only welcomes Jin Wang, but it also knows to greet Xiaobao.
It seemed to know when Xiaobao would come back, so it would squat on the steps in front of the courtyard and wait for him to arrive. As soon as Xiaobao arrived, it stuck itself to him.
“Meow.”
This wasn’t a cry of happiness, but Huahua expressing its fury at seeing a stranger.
“Ah!” Xuan Ge’er refused to admit that he was frightened and took two steps back to cover up his fear. He pointed at Huahua and then asked Xiaobao, “Why does your cat look so much like a leopard cub? “
Huahua was a civet cat. At first glance, it may look like a leopard cub, but it wasn’t, which Xuan Ge’er soon realized. “It’s not a leopard cub. I’ve seen a leopard cub before. Some time ago someone gave one to my dad. They don’t look like this. This cat is really fat!”
Although Xuan Ge’er said it with a serious face, he still didn’t dare to get close to Huahua, and just stood there talking to Xiaobao from a distance.
Xiaobao couldn’t help but laugh. Yan Ge’er also had a smile in his eyes.
At this time, Yaoniang came outside.
“The servants told me that you were back. Why didn’t you come inside? Oh, Xuan Ge’er is also here! Come in, come in. Xiaobao has mentioned you to me several times.”
This wasn’t the first time Xuan Ge’er saw Yaoniang, but it was the first time for them to meet in this situation. She was his good brother’s mother and had appeared during a time of crisis. Xuan Ge’er behaved himself extremely well, and hurried to Yaoniang’s side, avoiding Huahua who had been staring at him.
He was a little hesitant about how to greet her, but when he heard Yan Ge’er call her Fifth Aunt, he immediately followed suit.
“Fifth Aunt, let’s go inside.” Xuan Ge’er took the initiative to grab Yaoniang’s hand.
Yaoniang froze for a moment, before nodding quickly and assenting. She then dragged Xuan Ge’er inside first.
Behind them, Xiaobao and Yan Ge’er were almost doubled over laughing. They could see why Xuan Ge’er was acting like this. This child was terrified of Huahua.
Xuan Ge’er was actually afraid of cats. This contrast with his usual lawless behaviour amused them to no end.
The three children first went to the main room to pay respects to Jin Wang. However, because of how cold Jin Wang was, the children couldn’t enjoy themselves with him, so Xiaobao led Xuan Ge’er and Yan Ge’er to the east wing.
After his many visits, Yan Ge’er was familiar with everything, but it was Xuan Ge’er’s first time here.
Everything in Xiaobao’s room was novel to him, even though there was nothing that he hasn’t seen before. Later, Xiaobao found out from Xuan Ge’er that everyone in Lu Wang Manor was very uptight around him. Everything was even more orderly for Consort Lu, no matter whether it was what she ate, drank or wore. No matter where she goes, there would be a large number of maids and mamas following her. It was extremely rare for her to enter the palace with only two people by her side. Because of this, Consort Lu often argued with Lu Wang.
So given Xuan Ge’er’s experience, it was unbelievable for servants to withdraw and for the maids and mamas to leave after bringing up a plate of desserts and fruits. Xuan Ge’er didn’t know that Xiaobao actually didn’t like being surrounded by people. He had put in a lot of effort to live like this now. Only by not making any mistakes could Yaoniang and the maids feel at ease.
What Xuan Ge’er liked wasn’t the objects in Xiaobao’s room, but the atmosphere.
Yan Ge’er felt the same way.
Although the two of them were still young, they were actually very sensible. Who would want to have someone beside them yelling no at them whenever they tried to do something?
As for Xiao Xizi, after receiving a message from Lu Wang Manor, he was no longer in a panic. Now, he was sitting in the break room with the young servants drinking tea and chatting.
His Highness was right. Nothing big would happen to the young master in Jin Wang Manor. Even if something did happen, it would be the responsibility of Jin Wang Manor. In fact, Xuan Ge’er was much safer in Jin Wang Manor than in the palace. If Jin Wang were to let someone else’s child get into an accident while in his home, he would become the biggest laughing stock in the capital.
When it was time for dinner, the meal at Jin Wang Manor was praised by Xuan Ge’er again.
He said he ate a lot, several times more than he normally would when he was being chased and fed by the maid.
After dinner, the three children went back to the room to continue to play. When the people from Lu Wang Manor finally arrived to urge Xuan Ge’er to go back home, he was still unwilling to leave. Since it was already very dark, Yan Ge’er planned to spend the night at Jin Wang Manor instead of going back. Anyway, it wasn’t his first time. Because of this, Xuan Ge’er has been reluctant to leave. He even proposed to stay overnight at Jin Wang Manor as well.
Xiao Xizi had a bitter face. “Young master, this is impossible. Her Highness will not agree.”
Xuan Ge’er stood on the Kang with his hands on his hips. “I don’t care. No matter what I won’t leave.”
