Chapter 531: Chapter 530: Having a granddaughter, and a grandson…_1
 

“Jinfeng, Jinming, go and play in the yard after you finish eating, don’t pester your sister.”

The Old Lady loves her granddaughter. Once she had a granddaughter, she immediately put her grandsons to the back of her mind.

“Oh…”

Little Twelve, Little Thirteen, the two little ones feared their grandmother.

The moment their grandmother’s eyes sharpened, they dared not cause any trouble. They pouted pitifully and, with their heads down, they ran out of the chamber.

“Grandmother, it’s almost time for the sixth hour. It’s time for Qingluo to go and meet Xuan’er at the palace gate. I won’t be able to have breakfast with you.”

Seeing her two younger brothers pitifully leaving, Lin Qingluo felt a moment’s softness and almost promised them.

But then she thought again, the two youngsters were just too young.

She needs to take care of Xuan’er and can’t spare the time for them. What if something happens? How could she explain to her family who are fighting a bloody battle at the border?

“Ah woo.”

When she returned from the Old Lady, Baoya was already waiting in the chamber. Seeing the young master, Baoya affectionately rubbed against her wrist.

“Is Xuan’er ready? What time shall we meet at the palace gate?”

Lin Qingluo is ready to go and can leave at any time.

“Xuan’er has left Serene Snow Pavilion, he is almost at the palace gate.”

Baoya’s soft and mellow baby voice came clearly to her ears.

Lin Qingluo nodded: “I see, you go back to him first, we will follow.”

“Ok, Baoya will wait for the master at the palace gate.”

Once again, the soft and mellow baby voice travelled clearly to her ears.

Lin Qingluo smiled, lifted the curtain, and stepped out of the chamber, heading quickly towards the front courtyard.

Lin Jinyun, Lin Jinlong, Wang Meng, all wanted to follow when they heard that she was leaving the city.

Lin Qingluo happily agreed, went to the stables, and took out Lightning and Yellow Jujube.

The four people and five horses left the backyard of Duke Zhen’s residence, passed through three narrow lanes, and arrived at the south gate of the Imperial Palace.

The Little Prince had already arrived. Surrounded by a group of attendants, he was waiting at the front gate.

When they heard the hooves, they turned to look, and seeing Yellow Jujube, the Little Prince’s eyes lit up with joy as he ran to meet them.

“Little Prince.”

The attendants rushed after him, fearing that the Little Master would get hurt at the palace gate and that they would be blamed by the Empress and lose their lives.

“You all go back, no need to follow.”

The Little Prince pouted his cheeks, clearly impatient.

“Little Prince, you are going out of the city alone…”

The attendants, fearing the Empress’s authority, dared not oppose the Little Master, yet they feared he might get harmed. They were caught in a dilemma and couldn’t voice their concerns.

“Xuan’er, come, let sister help you onto the horse.”

Lin Qingluo also did not want a large group of people to follow. She decisively dismounted and urged the Little Prince.

“Um um, okay.”

The Little Prince’s eyes sparkled. He grabbed the reins, used them to help him climb onto the horse’s back.”

“Ah woo.”

Baoya promptly jumped onto the horse’s back and comfortably lay down in front of the Little Prince.

“Yellow Jujube.”

Yellow Jujube turned its head around, its big eyes twinkling and affectionately rubbed against the Little Prince’s hand.

“Yellow Jujube, I missed you so much.”

The Little Prince hugged the horse’s neck, his forehead against the horse’s head, sharing an intimate embrace with Yellow Jujube.

“Ah woo.”

Squeezed in the middle, Baoya felt uncomfortable and protested with a tender cry.

“Xuan’er, sit tight, let’s go.”

Lin Qingluo swiftly mounted her horse, patted Lightning on the head, and with a neigh, Lightning sprayed a puff of air from his nostrils, raised his front hooves and galloped away.

“Yellow Jujube, let’s go.”

The Little Prince let go of the horse’s neck and grasped the reins. Yellow Jujube neighed and dashed with all four hooves, chasing after Lightning.

Black Wind would not be outdone and quickly galloped to catch up.

Lin Jinyun and Lin Jinlong, the two brothers, brought up the rear, running at the very back.
