Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Yao'er? It's a nice name." Defang nodded, "But why didn't the lonely king hear that Shan En has a granddaughter?"

"The little one doesn't know too well," Baili said, "but Jingwu brought this child up this morning and said it was my sister's child."

"Isn't Jing Wu's younger sister Jing Yan?" Defang looked at Yao'er and asked, "Yao'er, you said you came to the mansion to eat, so don't your mother and father give you food?"

Yao'er lowered her head when she heard this, but Baili said, "My lord, kid, you just want to eat something delicious, am I right, Yao'er?"

Yaoer nodded, and Defang smiled and said, "That's what Baili said, hehehe, kid, come here, get some refreshments."

After a while, the waiter brought the snacks, and Defang said, "Come on, you all come and eat." A dozen children ran over to eat, but Yaoer didn't move. Seeing this, Defang asked, "Yaoer, why don't you eat?" Do you want to eat?"

"I haven't worked yet, so I can't have a snack."

"Work?" Defang laughed, "You don't need to work as a child."

Yao'er shook her head, "If you're not doing something, you can't just take other people's belongings, and you can't just eat other people's food."

Defang looked at Yao'er, feeling a little different in her heart, so she said, "Baili, give each of these children [-] yuan, and give them a pair of jade bracelets, and take them home with some snacks."

"My lord," Baili said, "then you don't want to choose anyone?"

"It's her." Defang pointed to Yao'er

After all the children left, Defang took a piece of snack and said, "Yao'er, you can eat it now. After you finish eating, the lonely king will take you to see His Highness."

Yao'er watched Defang take the dessert, then knelt down respectfully, "Thank you, my lord."

"Get up quickly." Defang helped Yao'er up, "you are a child who knows how to be courteous. The lonely king believes that the little highness will like you very much. I will ask the maid to take you to wash and change clothes."

"Thank you, lord," Yao'er saluted, and after the maid combed Yao'er, Defang led her into the hall, "Ma'am, look, the lonely king has found a playmate for Yiyi."

"Little servant knocks on your mother" Yao'er knelt down and saluted

"Playmate?" Concubine Di led Yiyi to Yao'er, "Get up first, let Ben Gong see you"

"Yes, ma'am" Yao'er stood up, Concubine Di looked at Yao'er and said, "What's your name? Which family's child are you from?"

"Ma'am," Defang said, "her name is Yaoer, and she is Shan En's granddaughter."

"Oh? Shan En's granddaughter?" Concubine Di looked at Yao'er, "Well, no wonder you feel different when you look at this child."

"Madam also feels the same way." De Fang laughed, "I felt different when I saw this child. It seems that our guards have been together for a long time, and we will feel close to their children when we look at them."

"That's how it is." Concubine Di nodded, "It's beneficial, Yao'er will play with you in the future, and you can be an older brother."

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Yiyi was very happy, and stepped forward and said, "Yao'er, my name is Yiyi. Let me be your brother, okay?"

"Young servant dare not, Yao'er must do what His Highness orders."

"I don't want you to do anything, I want you to play with me and study together, okay?"

"Yao'er" Defang knelt down and said, "You can do whatever your Highness says, you can play with him if he wants to play, and if he wants to be a brother, you should be a sister."

"Yes, my lord." Yao'er nodded, Yi Yi took Yao'er's hand, "Father and Queen Mother, my child wants to play with Yao'er in the garden."
