The 'little raccoon cat' was startled for a moment, then lifted the furry hat on its head, hugged Ming Lanruo's neck tightly with an "ouch", and screamed - "Mother! Mother!!"
Ming Lanruo was so strangled by the little man in her arms that her neck almost broke. She rolled her eyes and quickly pulled him away: "Ahem, cough, cough...slow down, slow down!"
Xiao Xi loosened her hand, raised her head, and kissed Ming Lanruo's face with her soft little mouth. The kiss made Ming Lanruo's anger disappear a lot.
The little man burst into tears, burying his face in her neck with grievance and fear: "Mother, the guards sent by the Queen Mother to pick you up are all dead. They all said something happened to you. Xiao Xi is so scared!"
When her son cried like this, Ming Lanruo was still angry, only helpless.
She hugged the soft little body in her arms tightly, feeling very distressed: "So, why did you sneak out of the palace to find your mother in the middle of the night? It's too dangerous."
"But, Xiao Xi is afraid... I'm so afraid of what will happen if I'm not by your side when my mother needs me. Xiao Xi only has her mother!" Xiao Xi swallowed softly.
Ming Lanruo's eyes were red and she hugged the trembling child tightly in her arms.
Xiao Xi is an extremely precocious child, and a child without a father is more mature. Even though his strength is extraordinary, he is still just a five-year-old baby. How could he not be scared when he sneaks into the woods in the middle of the night?
"I'm sorry, it's mom who makes you worry." She gently comforted the boy in her arms, who was trembling like a kitten.
Mother and son hugged each other for a long time before Xiao Xi calmed down. He sniffed and said, "Mother is fine, where is sister Jinghe?"
Ming Lanruo touched his little head: "We are indeed in danger, so Jing and sister will come back later, don't worry."
Xiao Xi nodded, relieved and curious.
He nestled in Ming Lanruo's arms and pointed at the silent scholar beside him: "Who is he?"
Ming Lanruo said gently: "He is the teacher my mother found for you. You are five years old and it is time to prepare for enlightenment."
Xiao Xi pouted unhappily: "But, mother has always taught me how to read, so I don't need a teacher."
Ming Lanruo smiled and thought he was a child: "Studying and enlightenment are different. You must have a teacher."
Xiao Xi glanced at Scholar Yin unhappily. This person, like the old monster, liked to carry him around, and he couldn't kick him either.
Hmm, disgusting...
He doesn't like him!
The hidden scholar suddenly said: "Young master, please give me the word "hidden" in my name. Can I ask your last name?"
Xiao Xi pouted and ignored him, only looking at Ming Lanruo: "Mother, let's go back to the palace quickly. The Queen Mother and Aunt Tan are so anxious that they sent many people to look for you."
Ming Lanruo nodded: "Okay, let's go."
She had to quickly ask the Queen Mother to retrieve King Qin Shangguan Hongye.
If that guy didn't encounter any ferocious beasts, but encountered the prince's people, his life would be in jeopardy.
When Scholar Yin saw Ming Lanruo leading Xiao Xi towards the side door of the palace, although he was full of suspicion and his eyes were complicated and dark, he could only follow him first.
The guard at the side gate of the palace saw Ming Lanruo taking out the token and immediately reported it.
Not long after, a large group of people came out in a hurry and surrounded Ming Lanruo and several others into the palace.
The Queen Mother hurriedly summoned Ming Lanruo.
She only had time to wash up briefly in the Qingyou annex and briefly tell Scholar Yin: "You stay in the annex for now and watch over Xiao Xi for me. This is the palace. If you go out and get into trouble, I won't be able to protect you."
The hidden scholar nodded politely: "My dear lady, please don't worry."
After Ming Lanruo left with Aunt Tan, Xiao Xi was also carried by the maids to take a bath.
After the cute pink little guy was washed and came out, he quietly walked to sit down next to Xiao Xi and smiled slightly: "Xiao Xi, you haven't told me your full name yet."
He needed to confirm whether he heard correctly just now.
"It's none of your business what your last name is. You're not my father!" Xiao Xi didn't answer.
But he looked at the hidden scholar for a while, and suddenly murmured suspiciously: "Why do you look familiar to me? You seem to look a bit like an annoying guy?" This chapter has been completed!
