The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Yun Mujiu finished his martial arts training and went out with some freshly made snacks from the kitchen.

She walked to a small courtyard and called out, "Tao Tao!"

A little girl in pink clothes rushed out immediately. She was only four years old, with two little buns on her head that swayed as she ran.

Taotao's face was full of smiles, and the little girl hugged Yun Mujiu's thighs.

Yun Mujiu half bent over, pinched the little girl's chubby face unceremoniously, and said with a smile: "Taotao, how come you run so fast?"

Tao Tao smiled brightly, "Sister Princess, you haven't come to see me for a few days. I miss you."

"I miss you, too. Sorry, I've been too busy these days and haven't had time to see you." Yun Mujiu picked up Taotao and walked into the house.

"I brought you some freshly made snacks, they're still warm."

Tao Tao clapped his hands, his expression excited: "Thank you, sister Princess! Tao Tao knows that sister Princess is busy, I'm glad you can come and see me when you are free, because I am thinking of you."

Children are the most innocent. They can see and feel whoever is nice to them.

She still remembers that in winter, her brother Suixi held her in his arms and asked for help when she had a fever, but no one was willing to stop and help them.

Only Yun Mujiu's carriage stopped, and Yun Mujiu came down to treat her personally and gave her a sum of money. Without Yun Mujiu's help, the two siblings would not have survived that winter.

Therefore, in Taotao's heart, Yun Mujiu is obviously a very important person, as close as a family member.

Yun Mujiu had just picked up Taotao when two people in the room heard the noise outside and ran out.

They both shouted in surprise, "Princess!"

Yun Mujiu nodded to them respectively, "Suixi, Fusang, how are you these days?"

Suixi's smile was bright, with a hint of boyish shyness.

"Everything is fine. I have learned a lot. I will strive to become the princess's secret guard as soon as possible."

Fusang is a naturally dull person, but when she saw Yun Mujiu, she smiled from the bottom of her heart.

"Princess, Suixi and I have been practicing martial arts hard recently and have made great progress. We have also started learning calligraphy from the teacher you arranged. The teacher said that we have good intelligence and can learn quickly!"

Yun Mujiu praised: "Great! You don't need to put too much pressure on yourself, just do your best."

Everyone entered the house, and Yun Mujiu took out the snacks from the food box and shared them with Taotao, Suixi and Fusang.

While chatting and laughing, Yun Mujiu learned about Suixi and Fuso's improvement progress and also tested their homework.

What she wanted was to train some people to be around her. They should not only be strong in martial arts, but also be good in other aspects.

Tao Tao didn't understand the conversation, so he just ate snacks obediently nearby, glancing at Yun Mujiu from time to time.

When Yun Mujiu was speaking, he noticed Tao Tao's gaze and smiled back.

She actually likes children. Children are pure and innocent, without so many twists and turns. When getting along with them, her whole soul is like being washed by spring water, becoming healed and warm...

Yun Mujiu personally thinks that except for naughty children, all other children are cute.

Tao Tao swallowed a mouthful of pastry and suddenly said, "Sister Princess, my brother and sister Fusang are both learning to read. When can I learn too?"

Yun Mujiu asked with amusement: "Are you so eager to learn at such a young age?"

Tao Tao blinked, puzzled: "What does studious mean?"

"It means that I like to study, just like Tao Tao likes to eat snacks."

Tao Tao said, "Oh," and said, "I want to learn, is that okay?"

Suixi looked at his little sister helplessly, thinking Taotao was being naughty. "Taotao, don't bother the princess."

Tao Tao pouted: "Brother, I really want to learn."

Yun Mujiu flicked the bun on Taotao's head with his fingers and said, "Suixi, Taotao should be serious. She is almost old enough to go to school and can start learning to read and write."

Yun Mujiu said again: "In a few days, I will ask the teacher to arrange a course for Tao Tao and teach him some simple things."

Suixi thought about it and agreed, nodding to Yun Mujiu: "Thank you, Princess!"

Yun Mujiu suddenly thought of a question and looked at Suixi. "Your last name is 'Sui', and your sister's name is Taotao. Is Taotao a nickname?"

If she hadn't suddenly arranged a teacher for Tao Tao, she wouldn't have thought that the inconsistency between the surnames of Suixi and Tao Tao would be a problem. She had always understood Tao Tao as a nickname.

Suixi was stunned for a moment, then stood up and walked to Yun Mujiu, then leaned close to Yun Mujiu's ear and whispered, "Princess, Taotao is the name I gave her, and I picked her up."

Now it was Yun Mujiu's turn to be completely stunned.

Suixi was only 17 years old, still a helpless little boy, but he had the courage and kindness to adopt a strange little girl. What's more rare is that Suixi always regarded Taotao as his own sister and treated Taotao very well.

Yun Mujiu nodded, knowing that Suixi didn't want Taotao to know the truth, and said vaguely: "Taotao is a really cute name. Taotao will learn to write his own name soon."

Tao Tao smiled when he heard Yun Mujiu mention him. "Yeah! I still have to learn many other characters, and study with my brother and sister Fusang!"

Yun Mujiu rubbed Tao Tao's head and said, "Yes."

Fusang had sharp ears and had just heard Suixi's whisper to Yun Mujiu. She walked up to Taotao and imitated Yun Mujiu to rub Taotao's hair. Her phoenix eyes under her bangs were cold and tender.

Tao Tao raised her hand to express her dissatisfaction, "Sisters, my hair is going to be messy."

Suixi joined in the head-rubbing action, which made Taotao even more dissatisfied.

Looking at such a cute child, Yun Mujiu laughed happily. Suixi and Fusang also laughed. Taotao was finally infected by the laughter and smiled with pouting lips, looking both funny and cute.

After Yun Mujiu went out, a deep meaning appeared in his eyes.

Looking at Suixi behind him, he asked, "Do you want to inquire about Taotao's background? I can help you."

Judging from their physiognomy, Suixi and Taotao cannot be seen as siblings, as none of their facial features are alike.

Suixi hesitated for three breaths, then gritted his teeth and said, "Let's check it out. We can't let Taotao not know her true life experience. When the time is right, I will tell her how I found her. No matter what, I will treat her as my own sister."

"Okay, there's no rush for this, let's investigate slowly..."

At noon, the sun was shining brightly and the Herbal Hall was bustling with people coming and going.

Wanyan Gu stood at the door of Herb Hall with his arms folded across his chest, staring straight at the plaque hanging high up.

"Heh! Is this the Herb Hall?"

Wanyan Gu had slightly curly hair tied into several braids, and her clothes had an exotic style, which attracted the attention of people nearby.

Meng Ninglang had just arrived at the Herb Shop, thinking that he had time to help Yun Mujiu check out the shop. He followed everyone's gaze and looked outside the door, frowning.

He recognized Wanyan Gu. Some time ago, Wanyan Gu and the prince fell into the lake, causing a big commotion. He was among the crowd of onlookers and watched the scene of Wanyan Gu and the prince being salvaged ashore.

Why did Wanyan Gu come to Herb Hall for no reason?
