Chapter 734 Who is leaving again?
Returning to Prince Li's mansion, Baili Moqing exuded pride and joy.
The maids and servants who had recently entered the mansion had always been in awe of Baili Moqing, because he was usually very serious. Except for the princess and the little princess, the prince had never smiled at anyone else.
But what happened today?
The prince was actually smiling the moment he entered the room! Even his voice was filled with laughter.
"Uncle Zhang, give orders to all servants: this month's wages will be doubled!"
Uncle Zhang and Madam Wang were both stunned for a moment, and looked at Shu He who was walking behind them with puzzled expressions, "Princess, this is..."
My monthly salary just doubled yesterday, and it doubled again today? Isn't it too easy to make money from His Royal Highness Prince Li?
Yesterday was the wedding of the prince and princess. It is understandable that the monthly salary was doubled for such a happy occasion, but why is it doubling today?
Shu He smiled and said, "Madam Wang, Uncle Zhang, didn't you see where Yi'er is?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the two of them immediately looked at the sleepy Xiao Yi'er in Baili Moqing's arms, and immediately understood, "The prince and Xiao Yi'er have reconciled?!"
Shu He smiled and nodded.
Madam Wang clapped her hands, filled with excitement. "That's wonderful! This is such a joyous occasion!"
Uncle Zhang was also very happy. "No wonder the prince is so happy! Madam, let's make some more delicious food today. Make something that Yi'er and the prince like. We have to celebrate today!"
While the preparations were going on here, Yi'er took Baili Moqing to see Wuwu.
This was the first time she formally introduced her father to Wuwu.
Although Baili Moqing didn't like this big tiger very much, after all, it was raised by Yi'er herself, so he could only love the tiger as well.
Kyoto is a bustling city after all and is not suitable for large animals to live in. Shu He wanted to send Wuwu away, but Yi'er was reluctant to do so. She asked Wuwu, and it didn't seem to want to leave either.
So, in the end, Shu He let Wuwu live in the palace.
Baili Moqing specially had the rockery in the backyard of the palace expanded and surrounded it with an iron fence to make a temporary home for Wuwu.
After I finished watching Wuwu, Xuanfeng came to report that the Third Princess and Princess Yong had arrived and were here to say goodbye.
When Yier heard the farewell, her eyes couldn't help but turn red again.
"Who's leaving again?"
She had just made good friends, good brothers and good sisters in Kyoto, why was someone leaving again?
Sister Arou is gone, Uncle Beiji and Uncle Zhenli are gone, even Sister Ziyuan and Brother Zile are gone. Wouldn’t Yier be lonely to death staying in Kyoto alone?
Shu He's guess was correct. It was the Third Princess who came to say goodbye, and Princess Yong accompanied the Third Princess.
"Sister Ziyuan, can you please not leave? Yi'er can't bear to leave you!"
Yi'er held Ziyuan in her arms, and the two children cried like crazy, unable to bear to part.
The third princess Baili Ruyun felt very sad when she saw the two children being so close.
"This capital isn't our home anymore. Ziyuan and I can't stay here forever. We still have a lot of things to take care of in Yifang City. Ziyuan's father has been looking forward to our return to see my sister and the seventh brother's wedding, but it's actually already past due."
"I just didn't expect that Yi'er and Ziyuan could develop such a deep bond in such a short time."
Although Shu He did not have such deep feelings for the third princess, she was Baili Moqing's sister after all. It was a rare relationship between siblings where there was no conflict of interest between them and they could still care about each other. Shu He still cherished this friendship.
"Third Princess, even if you have a fiefdom, this is Kyoto where you grew up, and you have several brothers and sisters here. This is your home!"
"Whenever you have time, write a letter to the emperor and come back anytime to see him."
Baili Ruyun was moved and held Shu He's hand, sighing: "Women like you are rare in this world. It is the Seventh Brother's luck to meet you."
"To be honest, I'm ashamed to say that I believed the rumors outside and thought you were immoral and had a prejudice against you. That's why I treated you poorly when we first met. I hope you will forgive me and not blame me."
"Third Princess, please don't say that! I was indeed 'notorious' in Kyoto before. The fact that you chose to wait and see me instead of speaking harshly to me is enough to show that you are a very rational person!"
"It's rare that you can be so rational when dealing with a stranger with such a bad reputation!"
The Third Princess nodded, feeling very relieved. "The longer I know you, the more I understand why Old Seven, who never likes women around, is so fond of you. You are truly worthy!"
"The royal family has little affection. Once power struggles arise, the ugliness of human nature is fully exposed. This is why I asked my father to allow me to go to Yifang City and defend it."
“It’s small, but it’s more humane and freer.”
"Sister Ah He, Sister Si Nian, if you have the chance, I really hope you can go to my fiefdom and have some fun, so that I can also show my hospitality as a host!"
There were tears in the corners of Xu Cinian's eyes, and her plain and gentle face was full of reluctance.
"Third Princess, if you have the chance, Ah He will definitely go and take a look at your fiefdom! I'm also looking forward to seeing what the free land you've been talking about will look like!"
Baili Ruyun was very happy and immediately asked his servants to bring in a lot of gifts.
"Third Princess, what are you doing..."
One after another, there were more gifts than she had given at the wedding yesterday!
"Most of these things are the precious things you sent to my house that day."
"I'm going back to Yefang City this time. Although I have the protection of the royal guards, with so many valuables, I don't know for sure if some people will have evil intentions."
"It's too dangerous for me to carry these things. After thinking about it, I think it's better to return them to you."
Shu He's expression changed, and he said seriously, "No, how can we take back a gift we've given away? Princess, this..."
"Sister Ah He, listen to me!" Baili Ruyun grabbed her hand and interrupted her. "You're alone in Kyoto, and it's already difficult to survive. The Seventh Brother is being watched by the Eighth and Ninth Brothers. Who knows what other forces may be operating in secret?"
"You keep these things, whether for self-defense or for emergencies, it will be better than keeping them with me!"
Shu He wanted to say something, but she blocked his words, "Be obedient, this is my sister's kindness, you must accept it!"
Seeing her determined expression, Shu He had no choice but to agree.
"When will my sister leave?"
The third princess looked at the sky and said, "Let's go tomorrow morning."
Shu He fell silent, his face full of worry and concern.
"Sister, there is one thing Ah He needs to tell you."
