Chapter 59 She is the poorest person in the world!
After all, they are children and cannot hide completely, so one or two of their movements were caught by others.

Zhao Wanyu couldn't help feeling annoyed.

Damn it, how could I forget that this kid is shy.

"Nangong Yan, take your hand away. Xiaoliu is shy. If you scare her, I won't forgive you!"

There was no trace of anger on Nangong Yan's face. He lazily withdrew his hand as he was told, and when no one was paying attention, he made a face at Xihe.

The little girl huddled in Zhao Wanyu's arms, extremely shocked.

How old is this Susu?
Xihe had just finished her meal and couldn't eat anything, so Zhao Wanyu carried her to the teahouse nearby to sit for a while.

"Aunt, are you leaving soon?" Xihe suddenly remembered what Emperor Jingyuan said in Shoukang Palace.

Zhao Wanyu nodded, "Yes, we will leave in a few days. Liu Yuan is already on his way back to Beijing, and someone has to take over the border affairs."

"Then we won't be able to catch up with the Lantern Festival." Xihe said a little disappointedly.

Zhao Wanyu smiled and kissed the little girl's cheek, and then coaxed her to smile, "I can't make it in time, but it doesn't matter. As long as the intention is there, it's Lantern Festival anytime."

Her brother is here, Xihe is here, and all the people she cares about are in the capital.

This is the most comfortable year she has had in recent years.

Zhao Wanyu and Emperor Jingyuan had originally planned to leave after the Lantern Festival. But who could have thought that the Queen Mother would suddenly come back, not only to cause trouble for Concubine Chen in the harem, but also to secretly contact the generals of the previous dynasty, hoping to support another Liu Yuan.

How could Emperor Jingyuan agree to this? So Zhao Wanyu had to go to the border in advance to stabilize the situation.

As long as she has complete control over the border, it will be useless no matter who the empress dowager wants to stuff in in the future.

"When will you come back next time? I'll pick you up in advance!" Xihe said in a deep voice.

Zhao Wanyu calculated in his heart, "If there is no special event or special decree, it should be next year's New Year's Eve."

The snack in Xihe's hand fell onto her skirt with a plop. The little girl counted the time with her fingers, but one pair of hands was not enough. The more she counted, the more confused she became. "Hmm~ It will take a very long time."

This year's Chinese New Year just ended.

"It's okay. A year goes by quickly. When little aunt comes back next time, our Xiaoliu will be one year older." Zhao Wanyu was reluctant to let her go. "Besides, Xiaoliu can write to aunt. I'll leave a private guard for you to deliver letters. Okay?"

When she heard that she could write letters, Xihe's mood improved a little. The little girl curved her eyebrows and whispered, "Then my aunt, please write me many letters! I will also send you some fun things!"

Zhao Wanyu nodded with a smile and hugged the little girl tighter, "Okay, Auntie will definitely write more!"

The little girl felt full after drinking two sips of tea. She touched her belly and nestled in the eldest princess's arms, not wanting to move at all.

Zhao Wanyu was afraid that she would have indigestion, so he took her to the jewelry store across the street to have a look. The two of them were left in the teahouse, staring at each other.

Nangong Yan poured tea on his own. Perhaps the gaze from the other party was too intense, making it impossible to ignore it. "That's enough. You're like a fighting cock! I owe you money, is it that serious?"

From the moment they met, this wolf cub had been watching his every move. Even guarding a prisoner wouldn't be done this way.

"What on earth do you want to do?" Xiao Mingxuan didn't take the cup of tea. His cold eyes seemed to contain ice. "I told you not to touch her! Why do you have to go against me?"

Nangong Yan withdrew his hand in dismay, took a sip of tea with a smug look on his face, and then slowly said, "Why are you so anxious? When did I say I came here for that little girl?"

The little girl was indeed interesting, but she was far from being something worthy of Nangong Yan’s personal action.

Xiao Mingxuan relaxed his expression, glanced at the two people in the jewelry store opposite, and asked, "Princess Yuanyang?"

Nangong Yan raised his eyebrows and did not comment.

"Zhao Wanyu..." Nangong Yan looked at the woman in red not far away with a playful smile on his face, "Don't you think she's a very interesting person?" Xiao Mingxuan said "Oh" and replied lightly, "No."

Nangong Yan choked, then laughed, "Boy, can't you put your eyes on someone else besides that little princess?"

"No." Xiao Mingxuan blurted out without thinking.

While Nangong Yan was looking at Xiao Mingxuan, the other party was also looking at him.

He suddenly asked abruptly, "Have you thought it through? There's no reason to get off my pirate ship once you've boarded it."

The other party delivered the agreed token half an hour ago, which is why Nangong Yan was sitting here.

Xiao Mingxuan responded calmly, "Well, I've thought about it."

Or maybe he had no choice at all.

Nangong Yan suddenly laughed out loud. His laughter was crazy, but there was no tenderness in his eyes. "Xiao Mingxuan, how about we make a bet?"

Xiao Mingxuan frowned, "What bet?"

Nangong Yan let out a sigh of relief, stopped laughing, looked steadily at the person opposite him, and said word by word: "I bet that one day you will die because of the word love."

I bet... you and Zhao Xihe will fight to the death for the rest of your lives!
Xiao Mingxuan's fingertips trembled slightly, and after a moment he said coldly: "This is not your business. If it's her, I'm happy."

From the moment he made his intentions clear, Xiao Mingxuan had already thought of the worst possible outcome.

When he has taken revenge, he will comfort his mother's spirit in heaven.

If nothing happened, he would be willing to lie to her for the rest of her life and protect her from worldly affairs.

If she was exposed, he would spare her life and make an appointment for the next life in the underworld.

Nangong Yan looked at the other person deeply and said nothing.

He had seen such a determined look in the eyes of many people.

Everyone thinks they have everything planned out, but they forget that things are unpredictable.

Xiao Mingxuan, will you be the one to break free from the cycle of reincarnation?

Zhao Wanyu thought everything was suitable for Xihe, so he bought a whole box of them.

"Aunt, my head is so heavy!" Xihe supported her little head, fearing that her neck would be broken.

Zhao Wanyu laughed dryly and glanced at the girl's hair full of jewelry. "It's a bit too much."

"Aunt, that's enough. These are enough for Xihe to use for a very long time!" The little girl shook it slightly, and the hairpins and rings made crackling sounds.

"Okay, that's all for now." Zhao Wanyu waved his hand and asked people to pay the bill.

Xihe looked at the list handed to her as if an egg was stuffed in her mouth.

So expensive!
Zhao Wanyu didn't think it was a big deal. She enjoyed a double salary and didn't have much to spend. She had saved a lot over the years. When she went to the border, she would have no place to spend it, so she might as well give it to Xihe.

"It's okay, it's nothing, auntie has money!"

The wealthy princess paid the bill without blinking an eye.

Xihe looked at the box of banknotes eagerly, pursed her lips helplessly, and thought to herself: "Forget it, she is the poorest in the world, and the gift she gave to little brother is still something she used to have."
