594 The Emperor Who Dotes On The Eggs (2)
“Fortunately, I still have you.” Helian Beiming stroked the little snow fox on his lap.
The little snow fox rolled its eyes.
If you have the ability, take off your claws first!
… .
The Queen Manor was not far from the palace. They arrived in a carriage in ten minutes.
Originally, Nangong Li wanted to humiliate Yan Jiuchao. He did not open the main entrance of the Queen Manor for him and let him enter from the corner door. But since Eunuch Wang came on the orders of the Emperor, this humiliating plan could only die in the womb.
The main door opened and the group entered the manor openly.
The Queen Manor occupied an extremely large area, even bigger than the Helian family’s east and west manors combined. Its scenery was even more top-notch and pleasant. It was said that every blade of grass, tree, brick, and tile here was built according to the Prince Consort’s preferences.
This made Yu Wan think of the Young Master Manor in the Capital. However, the Young Master Manor was not Yan Jiuchao’s permanent residence after all. It was not so big or luxurious.
The three little black eggs adapted to their environment immediately. They were not reserved at all when they came to an unfamiliar manor. They carried small bags, puffed up their chests, and strode on the small path!
Those who didn’t know better would think that they were the little masters of the manor.
“May I know where Your Highness is? I’ll go greet her.” Eunuch Wang asked.
Nangong Li’s eyes flashed and he said politely, “Mother has been repenting these few days. There’s no need to greet her. If there’s anything, Eunuch Wang can just tell me.”
“Ah.” Eunuch Wang nodded. It was a polite greeting in order to better settle the Prince Consort. He did not care where the Prince Consort stayed in the past, but in the future, it was not the Queen Manor who had the final say.
Eunuch Wang walked past the venue and asked, “Prince Consort has to recuperate carefully. I’m afraid the original courtyard is a little inappropriate. Please find another quiet courtyard for Prince Consort, Princely Heir, and the others.”
This went against Nangong Li’s original plan. If Eunuch Wang did not make this trip, he could have arranged for the Prince Consort to stay in his courtyard and give Yan Jiuchao a small room. However, he had no choice but to prepare a separate courtyard for the Prince Consort.
“The Queen Manor is so big, there’s no lack of a quiet courtyard or two, right? It’s best if it’s spacious enough. The children have to stay there too,” Eunuch Wang said as he looked dotingly at the three valiant little black eggs. How was the Emperor asking him to come to make it convenient for Princely Heir? He clearly couldn’t let go of these little fellows.
With this, the inferior courtyard was no longer presentable.
Nangong Li gritted his teeth and pointed to a courtyard in the east. “I wonder what Eunuch Wang thinks of this place?”
Eunuch Wang did not answer. Instead, he turned to look at Yan Jiuchao. “Princely Heir Yan, what do you think?”
Yan Jiuchao did not answer. He only looked at the three little fellows’ little bald heads. The three little black eggs did not even look at them as they strode over.
Such a small courtyard! Are they raising chicks?
Eunuch Wang smiled faintly. “Then please find another courtyard, Your Highness.”
The corners of Nangong Li’s mouth twitched.
The group walked forward for a while more. Nangong Li pointed at a spacious courtyard on the right and said, “This courtyard is where I used to study. The environment is quiet and very suitable to live in.”
The three little black eggs snorted and walked over. They despised it!
Nangong Li’s face darkened.
The Prince Consort was still in the carriage, guarded by Yu Wan and Old Cui.
What Nangong Li was indignant about was whether they were choosing a courtyard for the Prince Consort or for these little fellows.
Nangong Li suppressed his anger and said to Eunuch Wang, “Forgive me for being blunt, but my father’s illness needs to be recuperated. The children are noisy, and I’m afraid it’s inconvenient with them by his side.”
Eunuch Wang widened his eyes and said, “Are they noisy? They haven’t said a word since they entered the manor!” Instead, you were chattering all the way! Like a sparrow!
Nangong Li fell back in anger.
Nangong Li wanted to arrange for them to stay in the courtyard closest to him and the Queen, but the three little fellows just didn’t like it. He had seen rude people before, but he had never seen such rude people. Whose house was this!!!
The three of them walked quickly and left them far behind. After circling around again, they finally found a courtyard they liked. There were swings, ponds, fish, and colorful flowers in the courtyard. The eyes of the three little black eggs suddenly lit up!
At this moment, Yu Wan came over.
“Do you want to go in and take a look?” Yu Wan asked.
The three of them nodded adorably.
Yu Wan was actually not picky about the courtyard and could stay anywhere. However, since the Emperor had given them the right to choose, they did not have to be hypocritical and polite to the people from the Queen Manor.
Yu Wan stepped into the courtyard with the three little fellows. She planned to take a look first. If it was really suitable, she would stay there. Unexpectedly, just as she crossed the threshold, a sharp voice came from behind.
“Who is it! Stand there! Who allowed you to barge into my courtyard?”
The three little black eggs had already run to the backyard. Yu Wan was glad that they did not hear her. She gestured for Zi Su and Fu Ling to follow them.
Zi Su and Fu Ling walked in.
The Little Commandery Princess widened her almond-shaped eyes. “Are you deaf? Can’t you hear me? Come out!”
Zi Su and Fu Ling ignored her and went to look for the little masters.
The Little Commandery Princess was furious. She ran over angrily, wanting to see who dared to be arrogant under her nose, but she realized that it was Yu Wan. She frowned. “It’s you? How did you enter the Queen Manor?”
Yu Wan dusted her wide sleeves indifferently and said, “Of course I walked in. Are you blind? Can’t you see?”
The Little Commandery Princess still did not know what had happened in the court, nor did she know that Yu Wan was the daughter of the Helian family. She even thought that she was that ignorant peasant woman from the countryside.
Hearing Yu Wan ridicule her like this, she was immediately furious. “Who do you think you are! How dare you speak to me like this! Do you believe that I’ll chop off your head!”
Yu Wan smiled faintly and said, “Who do you think you are? If you have the ability, come and chop me up. If you can’t, you’re a grandson.”
“You, you, you, you, you…” The Little Commandery Princess stuttered in anger!
Yu Wan looked at this relatively quiet courtyard and turned around with a smile. “Your courtyard?”
The Little Commandery Princess was stunned and did not understand why she asked this. However, she did not take it to heart and said proudly, “Yes, it’s new! Are you envious? A country bumpkin like you has never seen such a good courtyard in your life, right? That’s true. I heard that you grew up in the market and were lucky to enter the Helian family. But you went to the Helian family to be their daughter-in-law, not their biological daughter. How could they really treat you like a treasure?
“I’m different. I’m my mother’s daughter, the little commandery princess of the Queen Manor. Only I’m worthy of such a good courtyard.”
She spoke a lot. The words went in from Yu Wan’s ear and went out from the other. She only remembered the first sentence.
Yu Wan muttered, “In that case, no one has lived here before?”
The Little Commandery Princess snorted in disdain. “I already said that it’s new! Other than me, who would dare to stay in it!”
Yu Wan nodded in satisfaction. “Alright, I want this courtyard.”
The Little Commandery Princess widened her almond-shaped eyes.
Yu Wan looked at the guard guarding her. “Go and inform Princely Heir Yan and Eunuch Wang that we’re staying here.”
The Little Commandery Princess was dumbfounded. “W-what Princely Heir Yan? What Eunuch Wang? What are you talking about, country bumpkin? This is my courtyard! Who allowed you to stay?!”
Yu Wan smiled gently. “I’m staying here.” With that, she crossed the threshold. “Fu Ling, see the guest out.”
“How dare you?!” The Little Commandery Princess rolled up her sleeves and walked forward, wanting to pull Yu Wan’s hair.
In the end, Fu Ling picked her up like a chick and threw her out of the courtyard!
