Another carriage drove out of the darkness. Fu Qiujin resisted the urge to get up again, afraid that his fourth brother would tease him, but he still couldn't escape it.

"Qi Jin, this time it's your little sister. Why aren't you getting up?"

Meng Yan gently nudged Fu Si Jin with her elbow, signaling him to stop teasing Qi Jin. Didn't he see that her face was already red?

The carriage stopped at the door, Fu Jiujiu got out first, followed by Atu Xiu and Namur, and Cui Mamá was the last to come out.

The Fu family hurried to bow, but before they could finish, Ah-Tu Xiu stopped them. “Uncle Fu, Aunt Fu, you don’t have to be so polite. We’ll see each other every day from now on.”

"Father, Mother, the princess said we don't need to bow, so no need to bow. No need to be polite." Fu Jiujiao looked at her somewhat embarrassed parents and said.

"Right, right, right. It's really not necessary. If you see me, just pay your respects. I would feel too embarrassed to stay here. I should just go back to the palace."

Then, let's do as the princess says," Tian Guihua said with a smile.

This little princess is so beautiful, radiant and lovely.

Fujujiao introduced each person in her family to Artou one by one. "This is my third sister-in-law, Princess Pingyang."

"Well met, sister-in-law," said Athos. "I passed General de la Fère on the way here."

How is he?

"That's good, he asked me to tell you not to worry about him and just focus on taking care of the baby."

Jiang Yao nodded. "Thank you, Princess."

"My fourth brother, you've met him. This is my sister-in-law. The little chubby guy in her belly is my nephew, Wupang, whose full name is Meng Tianrui!"

"My seventh older brother, you've met him too."

Atuxiu nodded, "Four Golden Brother, Four Sister-in-law good."

When it was Fu Qiujin's turn, she smirked playfully, "Can you ride a horse?"

Fu Qijin's face was flushed red, just like a little girl who had been teased, "I... why should I learn."

“Oh, he's so handsome, just like your fourth aunt and your fourth brother. He even resembles you.” Attu Xiu laughed, but then she realized something, “Wait a minute, your fourth brother’s surname is Fu, why is his surname Meng?”

"Because my fourth sister-in-law's surname is Meng!"

"Aren't you people from the Li Chao all surnamed after your father?" Athos expressed great surprise!

"It doesn't matter if you take your mother's surname, all of them are my fourth brother and sister-in-law's children anyway,"

"That's right, you have a good family." Athus smiled, and his wounded heart recovered a little.

"Princess, let's go inside first. Let's see if your room is satisfactory, and tell me what's missing," said Tian Guihua.

"Satisfied, as long as I can play with Fu Xiaoniao, I don't mind."

As for the name "Little Bird," the Fu family wasn't surprised, because just moments ago, Fu Si Jin had already told everyone about Princess Ming Yue.

Fu Baiman burst into laughter. "Your Highness, you're right! On the day our little Jiejie was born, a beautiful bird landed on the tree in front of our house, and that's how she got her name."

At that time, he really wanted to name his daughter Fu Xiaoniao.

"Really?" Attu Xiu was very surprised and happy, "Uncle Fu, then let's go together."

"That's right, I think Fu Xiaoniao sounds nice too."

Attuh was very pleased after seeing his room. "Thank you, it's right next to the little bird's room, so I can just step out and go into her room."

"We certainly can't take credit for this, it was my seventh younger brother's idea," Fu Sijin said.

"Fu Qijin, thank you so much, I'm very satisfied with your arrangement."

"Don't mention it." Fu Qijin smiled.

"Father and mother, brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, it's getting late. You all should rest."

Then we won't disturb the princess's rest. What would you like to eat for breakfast tomorrow?" Tian Guihua asked kindly.

Artorius shook his head, "Anything goes, anything is delicious, but now... the birds..."

"Okay, I'll go get Grandma Cui to make you some small wontons."

"Wonderful!" Athos exclaimed, "I'll go too. When I've learned, I'll go back to the North and make it for Madame de Treville."

Tian Guihua's eyes flashed a glimmer of surprise. Really good, this child is truly kind.

She has no airs of a princess, nor is she pretentious. She's also caring and has even learned to cook for her sister-in-law.

"Alright then, we won't disturb you. After eating, don't sleep right away, or your stomach will feel uncomfortable."

"Okay, thank you aunt. You're so kind."

After the Fu family left, Fu Jiujiu took a few people to the kitchen.

In the blink of an eye, Fu Chi-Chi noticed that two people were missing from the house.

"Smoke and rain, what about Xia? What about Namur?"

Yān Yǔ looked around, "My lady, I was just busy making dumplings and didn't see."

"We're here, oh my, you ambushed us."

What's going on?

Fu Jiujiu and Atuxiu hurried outside to take a look, and they discovered that two young girls were sparring in the open courtyard.

"This is called not fearing deceit in war. Come again!" Nian Xia blinked, her movements agile, gaining the upper hand.

Namu is also a person who refuses to give up, she's not weak either. The two of them spar back and forth with each other.

Athos and Porthos glanced at each other, then sat down on the threshold to watch the two men spar.

In the kitchen, Cui Mama and Yan Yu had finished wrapping the wontons and cooking them. They called the two little girls over to eat.

“Princess, I’m hungry too,” Namu panted, running in with sweat dripping from his body.

"Namu, you've lost." Athos shrugged.

Namu wiped the sweat from his face, "That doesn't count, I lost because I smelled the fragrance. Nianxia, let's duel again tomorrow."

Nianxia looked at Xiao HunTun expectantly, "Alright, let's race again tomorrow. Your Highness, I won today, so is there a reward?"

"What else is in the pot?"

Fuju knew that these little gluttons would definitely want to eat too, so she asked Cui Mama to pack a lot.

Yān yǔ gave Niàn Xià a bowl of congee and sprinkled it with a few chives.

"Grandma, you're not eating?" Arthur noticed that Grandma Cui hadn't eaten.

Imperial Nanny Cui shook her head, "Princess, you are all still children, it's time to grow your bodies. This old servant is already quite old, eating this will cause indigestion."

"This is so delicious, you really don't want to try even a little bit? Eating a small amount shouldn't be a problem, right?" Atushi asked again.

"If you find it tasty, eat more. Chew slowly and take your time. I'm just a servant, I can't compare to you."

"The county lord's family is very kind to this old servant. This servant has a share of all the delicious food."

"Well, I know, little birds are so kind and good, her parents must be good people too."

"Grandma, you must be tired too. Why don't you rest first?"

"Alright, then this servant shall return first." Cui Mama knew Fu Jiujiu's temperament, so she did not decline.

However, common servants wouldn't be treated this way. How dare they sleep before their master?

"Remember to light the incense I gave you for calming purposes!"

"Got it, eat quickly. It'll get cold if you don't." Grandma Cui smiled and left, but couldn't help but glance at the little dumpling one more time.
