A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles

Xiaosuisui was sulking angrily in the courtyard.

She felt that her Eighth Uncle was going to have an Eighth Aunt, and in the future, her Eighth Uncle surely wouldn’t love her as he used to.

All along the way, his heart and eyes were full of his future Eighth Aunt, boo hoo hoo...

Even though children’s tempers come and go quickly, and no matter how jealous she was of the future Eighth Aunt, when her Eighth Uncle called her to help with applying medicine to the future Eighth Aunt, she still obediently went.

In the evening, General Liu sent someone to invite Ji Youze to the banquet held for Xiaosui.

Originally, Ji Youze, being an official from the capital, was to be given a welcoming banquet by General Liu, and just having a few local officials and gentry from Yanhui City accompany him would suffice.

However, he also brought along a little child, whose identity was not simple and was actually a Princess.

If they were to follow their usual customs, it certainly wouldn’t do, as having a little child among so many men wouldn’t make sense?

It just so happens that this little child possesses an extremely noble identity!

Thus, they invited several gentry and significant officials of Yanhui City along with their families.

The female guests were led by General Liu’s wife, separated from the male guests by a screen.

Xiaosuisui was placed directly in the seat of honor.

When all the women saw this, they couldn’t help but be surprised by this little child’s identity, examining her closely with inward astonishment.

This little child, from her clothing to the pearl flowers in her hair, everything was of the finest quality, and those delicate and beautiful facial features, her lively big eyes, what kind of family could raise such a child?

To top it off, none of the guests had taken their seats yet, and the little girl was seated in the place of honor, with everyone’s eyes on her, yet she wasn’t the least bit shy.

This kind of child is likely extremely rare in Yanhui City.

"Why are you all looking at me like this?"

Sensing everyone’s gaze, Xiaosuisui asked.

A beautiful woman in her mid-thirties or so came up to Xiaosuisui, covering her mouth with a handkerchief, coughed, and quickly knelt in front of Xiaosuisui.

Seeing the general’s wife’s actions, everyone was taken aback, momentarily confused, and looked at each other in dismay.

They didn’t know what was going on!

"This humble wife, Liu Liu Family, pays respects to Her Highness, Princess Chang Rongshun, long live Your Highness!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was astonished and hurriedly knelt behind Liu Liu Family in succession.

"Long live Her Highness, the Princess!"

Seeing this scene, Xiaosuisui calmly said, "Please rise! My Eighth Uncle said we are here for official business, and I must not put on airs. I appreciate your thoughtful arrangements for today’s welcoming banquet, but there’s no need to do so in the future. We’re going to be staying in Yanhui City for quite some time."

"Oh!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Liu couldn’t help but cough again.

Xiaosuisui handed her a bottle of medicine pills, "This is for your cough, take one!"

Madam Liu was caught off guard, surprised that the Princess was so approachable and even gave her a medicine pill for her cough. She had previously worried, having heard that the noble ladies in the capital were pampered, and children of five or six were the most unruly and stubborn. Little did she expect the Princess to be so polite and composed, and so down-to-earth.

"Just take it! You don’t have much time left, and even if I gave you a pill to bring the dead back to life, it would be of no use, but this cough and pain-relieving pill can make you feel better during this time!"

Xiaosuisui’s words were like a thunderbolt, leaving everyone’s minds buzzing.

"How...how does the Princess know...cough cough cough!"

"Stop talking, take the medicine! I’m hungry, it’s time to eat."

Xiaosuisui handed the pill to Madam Liu and then started to eat.

At the Ji Mansion, Xiaosuisui always wolfed down her food, but here she was very disciplined.

Nanny Zhang always said that as Princess Chang Rongshun, her manners in public represent the Royal Family’s dignity.

It didn’t matter if others didn’t recognize her, but once she revealed her identity, she must pay attention to her etiquette.

The commotion amongst the female guests was noticeable, and the male guests also heard it; everyone was astounded to find out a Princess from the capital was in Yanhui City!

"Oh, General Liu, why didn’t you inform us that distinguished guests from the capital were here? Should we not pay our respects to such esteemed visitors?"

Yanhui City, being at the border and remote, and impoverished, regarded any outside wealthy merchants as big figures, let alone esteemed visitors from the capital.
