The little princess was two years old before she was formally given a name: Su Xiaoxiao.
When Gu Bailu heard this name, she almost fell out of the peach tree.
It was the season for peaches, and the peaches she planted were full and juicy.
Su Shenfan was really unreliable. He actually gave his daughter such an earthy name1.
But Gu Bailu thought that Su Xiaoxiao was very good. At the very least, she lived the life she wanted and didn’t feel wronged because of her status.
Gu Bailu didn’t tattle on her to Su Shenfan either.
Naturally, the little princess grew up happily. Perhaps it was because of her name, but she wasn’t as fat as Bu Yaolian. On the contrary, the older she got, the more petite she became. She was so beautiful that many young masters in the world drooled over her, and Su Shenfan itched to lock her in her room and not let her out.
So, after the little princess turned fifteen, Su Shenfan felt that he couldn’t let his daughter be stolen by a man, and he moved with Bu Yaolian and Su Xiaoxiao to become neighbors with Gu Bailu.
Gu Bailu and Feng Qingtian had been living in seclusion in the mountains for a few years, and did their own farming.
Gu Bailu was happy to have a neighbor. The main point was that she liked Bu Yaolian and Su Xiaoxiao.
It was just that Su Shenfan had become even more annoying over the years. He kept a constant eye on his two women, afraid that other people would have designs on them.
Bu Yaolian, in particular, had changed after giving birth to Su Xiaoxiao. Not only was she no longer fat, she also slimmed down and was as beautiful as a flower.
More than ten years had passed, and she was even more beautiful than when Su Shenfan had first met her. Needless to say, Su Shenfan was extremely worried.
“Your Shao Zun is becoming more and more clingy,” Gu Bailu joked with Bu Yaolian.
If Bu Yaolian didn’t go back after fifteen minutes, Su Shenfan would definitely come over to look for her.
Bu Yaolian smiled. “It isn’t easy for Shao Zun. Everyone looks like they want to steal his daughter.”
“Xiaoxiao grew up well. Even I want to make her my daughter-in-law.”
Speaking of, it was strange, but she and Bu Yaolian didn’t have any more children after over a decade.
They weren’t taking contraceptives and they were still in very loving relationships. There was nothing wrong with their bodies, but they never got pregnant again.
That was why children were rare at home.
Su Xiaoxiao was really pretty. Gu Bailu felt her mood lift every time she looked at her.
It was a pity that Su Xiaoxiao didn’t want to marry into the imperial palace. Gu Bailu’s son, Feng Ya, was currently the little emperor, and his body wasn’t his own.
Thinking about him, Gu Bailu felt that it wasn’t easy for this child.
“I couldn’t be any happier if she became your daughter-in-law. I think only your family would be worthy of Shao Zun’s baby girl.” Bu Yaolian was more than willing to let Su Xiaoxiao marry Feng Ya.
However, Su Xiaoxiao didn’t want to marry into the palace.
Besides, she had grown up with the twins. They were childhood friends, and they didn’t have any romantic feelings for each other.
Feng Ya also treated her more like a sister.
“What use is it if we’re willing? The kids don’t like each other.” Gu Bailu shrugged.
The relationship between the two families was good to begin with. Since the children didn’t have those sorts of feelings, there was no need to force it.
