"They wouldn’t dare to scold ; I’m their only daughter, and I was born in their old age. My father is too busy spoiling ." Xie Qianyun’s black eyes glinted with mischief, full of pride.
An Youyou was at a loss for words.
Pri Minister Song truly indulged Xie Qianyun, otherwise he wouldn’t have allowed her to play with swords and spears.
"Just pretend you didn’t see ." Xie Qianyun said.
She jumped up suddenly toward a large tree in front of her.
Her nimble body landed directly on a branch, and she stood there before leaping down.
Soon after, the sound of a horse’s neigh and hoofbeats ensued, clearly indicating that Xie Qianyun had left.
An uninterrupted sequence of moves, who knows how many tis she’s sneaked out in this way.
"Pri Minister Song is full of knowledge and talent, mastering everything from music to chess and painting to calligraphy. Yet he has such a carefree daughter." Anqi couldn’t help but sigh, "I wonder if Pri Minister Song feels regret."
Anyone who didn’t know Xie Qianyun would think she would be a well-bred young lady under Song Yanqing’s tutelage.
"There must be so regret." An Youyou said, "But compared to that, making his daughter happy is more important."
"That’s true." Anqi smiled, "If I were him, I’d also let my child choose the lifestyle she likes in the future."
"Tut tut tut, Anqi, you’re not even married yet, and you’re already thinking of having children with the Imperial Uncle..."
"Youyou, I was just saying it casually."
"Don’t be shy, the Imperial Uncle is eager for you to hurry up and have kids—two within three years!" An Youyou teased.
Anqi blushed even more.
The two joked and bantered.
"Youyou!"
From afar, they suddenly heard a sowhat familiar voice.
An Youyou turned her head and saw Wu Huahao striding over.
Wu Huahao was the eldest son of her Imperial Aunt Xiao Hezhen, one year younger than her.
They often played together when they were young in the Imperial Palace. Later, when she left the palace, they’d occasionally et, but the friendship remained strong.
"Why aren’t you coming to play? We’re playing pitch-pot." Wu Huahao approached An Youyou, "Why are you hiding in this corner? Had searching for you for ages."
Although Wu Huahao was younger than An Youyou, being a boy, he was half a head taller than her.
Now, he frowned, evidently a bit displeased.
"I don’t want to play boys’ gas." An Youyou found an excuse to refuse.
"When you made crouch so you could play leapfrog as a kid, you didn’t say it was a boys’ ga." Wu Huahao intentionally said, "I clearly rember how I got this scar in my hair!"
He parted his hair to show her.
An Youyou felt a little embarrassed.
When she was young, Wu Huahao was her pretend pony for leapfrog, but she missed and kicked him in the head. Wu Huahao lost balance and fell directly to the ground, bleeding a lot back then.
This vengeful little rascal.
"Co on, let’s play." Wu Huahao tugged An Youyou’s hand to leave.
"I’m worried I’ll disrupt your ga."
"Don’t worry, I’ve already told them, they won’t treat you like a Princess. You didn’t grow up in the Imperial Palace, so you’re not a proper Princess anyway." Wu Huahao was always easygoing with An Youyou.
"How am I not a Princess? I’m my father and mother’s true child!"
"Yes, yes, the wild Princess."
"Wu Huahao, are you itchy for a beating?!" An Youyou pinched Wu Huahao fiercely.
"Ah, it hurts!" Wu Huahao shouted, "Are you going to murder your husband?"
"What husband? You little rascal know nothing, I’m your sister!"
"My mother said that when I grow up, I’ll marry you. Stop resisting, you’ll be mine eventually..."
"Get lost!" An Youyou kicked Wu Huahao’s bottom.
Wu Huahao clutched his backside.
He’s used to being bullied by An Youyou since childhood.
The two bickered as they left.
Anqi watched their backs, a smile of contentnt on her lips.
She couldn’t help but envy An Youyou’s good relations.
She seed to be able to play with anyone.
Whereas she always felt a bit out of place with them.
They would be more cautious with her.
Of course, Anqi’s personality wasn’t as playful, so she prepared to leave for the tea room to accompany her father and mother. But as she turned, she suddenly saw An Ji.
