The Moon is Full in the Traveling House

Chapter 122 Xiao Anning is enlightened

In General Xiao's mansion, Xiao An Ning was squatting in the yard, bored, holding a small branch and carelessly poking at the ant holes on the ground. She teased the ants and muttered to herself, "Little ants, little ants, you are so busy every day, what are you looking for? Are you as bored as me..."

Suddenly, Xiao Tao came running over, panting and shouting, "Miss! Princess Yuehua is here, waiting for you in the front hall!"

When Xiao An Ning heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up. She dropped the branch in her hand and jumped up excitedly, "Yuehua is here? Then let's go over there quickly!" After saying that, she ran to the front hall in a hurry.

In the front hall, Princess Yuehua was sitting at the table with Madam Xiao and Xiao Anya, sipping tea and talking about family matters. Yuehua, you are here. There was a rush of footsteps outside the door, accompanied by Xiao Anning's excited voice. Princess Yuehua put down the teacup in her hand, raised her head and looked towards the door. Xiao Anning was smiling, jogging with Xiao Tao, her face filled with joy.

Mrs. Xiao frowned when she saw this. She was about to say something to blame her, but Xiao Anya quietly pulled her clothes. Xiao Anya said softly, "Mom, An Ning has been bored these days. Please don't argue with her. Fortunately, there are no outsiders here."

After hearing this, Madam Xiao sighed helplessly and shook her head, "You two, father and daughter, are always protecting her, and she is becoming more and more unruly day by day."

At this time, Xiao An Ning had already walked to the front hall and said to Princess Yuehua with a smile: "Yuehua, you finally came to play with me. I have been so bored these days!" Then, she greeted Madam Xiao and Xiao Anya, and sat down without any hesitation, picked up a cup of tea and drank it all.

Princess Yuehua had a faint smile on her lips, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes: "An Ning, the day after tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival! There will be no palace banquet this year, but I still want to come to you. I hope you can come to Shenwei Hou Mansion the day after tomorrow to play with me."

Xiao Anning secretly glanced at her mother's face and found that she did not express any objection. She was delighted and quickly nodded in agreement with a smile.

Mrs. Xiao knew very well that her presence would make the two little girls feel restrained, so she smiled and gave Xiao An Ning a few instructions, then left with Xiao Anya.

After they left, Xiao An Ning and Princess Yue Hua seemed to have turned on some invisible switch. They immediately put their heads together and started chatting happily.

"Yuehua, why don't we go sit in my yard? I have something new to show you." Xiao An Ning said mysteriously, with excitement flashing in his eyes.

Princess Yuehua asked curiously: "Oh? What is it? Take me to see it!" After that, the two of them walked hand in hand towards Xiao An Ning's Ningyuan.

It was the season when the sweet-scented osmanthus was in full bloom. The Ningyuan was full of sweet-scented osmanthus flowers, and the fragrance could be smelled from afar. The rich aroma filled the air, making people feel happy and refreshed.

After entering Ningyuan, Princess Yuehua's eyes were attracted by a large hammock under the osmanthus tree. "An Ning, is this a bed? Is this what you want to show me?"

Xiao Anning nodded, "Why don't you try lying down for a while? It's very comfortable."

"Okay."

Two little sisters lie in the hammock fully dressed. The breeze brings the fragrance of osmanthus, making people feel peaceful and relaxed. Its rope is strong and flexible, and the delicate fabric is soft and comfortable, making people feel as if they are surrounded by a warm force when they lie on it. Looking up, the green branches and white flowers of the osmanthus tree are everywhere. The sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, forming patches of light, like golden raindrops. With the breeze blowing, the osmanthus petals fall like snowflakes, falling on the body, bringing a hint of coolness and sweetness.

"Wow, it's so comfortable! An Ning, how did you come up with this? I've never seen anything like this before!" Princess Yuehua swayed on the hammock with a curious look on her face, feeling very comfortable. She turned her head and looked at Xiao An Ning, her eyes full of curiosity.

Xiao Anning smiled and replied, "This is called a hammock. The last time I went to the Su residence, I happened to see it in the back garden and thought it was very special. At that time, Mr. Su told me that it was called a hammock and that Captain Su designed it himself. Later, Mr. Su found the design and gave me a copy, so I made one too..."

Princess Yuehua widened her eyes in surprise: "Oh? I see! I didn't expect Captain Su to have such a skill! But who is this Mr. Su you are talking about?"

Xiao Anning smiled and explained, "Mr. Su is Captain Su's elder brother."

Princess Yuehua nodded thoughtfully and said jokingly, "So that's how it is. Have you been seeing Captain Su often recently?"

A trace of desolation flashed across Xiao Anning's face: "I haven't seen Captain Su since he officially took office..."

"I remember that Captain Su served under your father. Maybe I'll meet him someday." Xiao An Ning pouted and said angrily, "Hey, last time I just asked about Captain Su, but my father said that outsiders are not allowed to ask about military affairs! Isn't it infuriating? How come I am an outsider?"

Princess Yuehua chuckled and said teasingly, "An Ning, are you angry that your father called you an 'idle person' or are you angry that he didn't tell you the news about Captain Su?"

Xiao Anning thought about it and answered gloomily, "A little bit of both."

Seeing her friend's angry look, Princess Yuehua smiled evilly: "An Ning, it's over, you've fallen in love with Captain Su! My mother said that if a girl falls in love with someone, she will become stupid. No wonder I think you are not as smart as before!"

Xiao An Ning felt a little embarrassed and annoyed when she heard this, and said angrily: "Hey, Yuehua, don't laugh at me!"

After saying that, she quickly pounced on Princess Yuehua, and the two of them immediately started making a scene, and for a moment the yard was filled with laughter.

After playing around for a while, Xiao Anning's cheeks flushed slightly. She looked at Princess Yuehua hesitantly and asked cautiously, "Yuehua, is my performance really that obvious?"

Princess Yuehua's eyes flashed with cunning, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she replied softly: "Well, I think it's quite obvious."

Hearing this answer, Xiao Anning couldn't help but wail and covered her face with her hands, as if trying to hide her shyness and embarrassment.

However, Princess Yuehua suddenly broke the silence with a chuckle. She gently patted Xiao Anning's shoulder and comforted her, "Anning, this is not something shameful. There's no need to be so shy. Besides, I just got out of the house once, so why don't you accompany me around?"

When Xiao An Ning heard this, he was immediately delighted. He quickly put down his hands, raised his head, and a hint of anticipation appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Princess Yuehua smiled slightly and continued, "By the way, I haven't been out of the mansion for a long time. How about we go horseback riding in the suburbs together?"

Xiao Anning's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Great! I also want to go out for some fresh air. Riding horses in the suburbs is the best option."

Princess Yuehua, as the daughter of Marquis Shenwei, had received strict training since childhood, so her riding skills were naturally no problem. Xiao Anning also liked outdoor activities, and the two hit it off and happily decided on the next activity.
