Chapter 809: Chapter 809: Thirteenth Luo’s Little Sche
The three little ones were still playing in the courtyard, and the four-year-old, almost five, had boundless energy. The skills they had in being mischievous gave their maids and old won-servants endless headaches.
Fortunately, the three little guys were also sensible, and when they shouldn’t be causing trouble, they were all very obedient.
“Niuniu, Chou Chou, Xiao Xiao, co here.”
Since they had to go out, these three little guys couldn’t be allowed to run wild.
“Mom, do you have any instructions?”
The three little ones gathered around.
...
“Wait a mont, mom has to go out for a bit, and Xiao Xiao, you’re in charge of watching Chou Chou closely, and you mustn’t cause any trouble. This is the capital city, so don’t just run off wherever, and especially don’t shake off your maids and won-servants—the bandits are waiting for their chance. Understand?” Liu Sisi carefully instructed, feeling more and more that it was ti to start enlightening the two younger ones too.
“I know. Mom, don’t worry! I’ll take good care of Chou Chou,” Xiao Xiao promised earnestly.
On hearing this, Chou Chou protested, “Who needs you to watch over ? Also, don’t call Chou Chou, I am your third brother.”
Xiao Xiao did not care much about what Chou Chou said and after giving him a glance, turned back and looked at Niuniu, “Mom, are you planning to take Niuniu with you?”
“Xiao Xiao is really smart, mom didn’t ntion it yet you guessed it already.”
Liu Sisi looked deeply at Xiao Xiao; many tis, his intelligence did not seem like that of a child of his age, which always stirred a peculiar feeling in her heart. And the older he got, the stronger that feeling beca. However, Liu Sisi had never brought it up; he was her son, and whatever his past was, she didn’t care. As long as he grew up safe and sound, that was enough for her.

Xiao Xiao just smiled calmly without clarification, while Chou Chou kept complaining on the side, pouting and unwilling to agree.
Liu Sisi shook her head and, taking Niuniu’s hand, got onto the carriage and went to Prince Luo’s Mansion.
The streets were bustling with crowds, and the noise and cries of the hawkers rose and fell one after the other. They passed two street corners before they turned onto the road that led to Prince Luo’s Mansion. Since it wasn’t a formal visit, Liu Sisi had submitted a visiting card on short notice. Very soon, Princess Consort Luo ca out to greet them.
“Is it really Ruyu who has co? I was just talking about the princess with Thirteen; it seems we really do have a psychic connection! Please, co in quickly.” Princess Consort Luo hurriedly welcod Liu Sisi inside.
“Princess Consort, Ruyu has taken the liberty of visiting today unannounced, I hope the Princess Consort won’t find Ruyu’s lack of formality offensive,” Liu Sisi said politely as she followed Princess Consort Luo into the hall.
“What are you saying? We’re family; there’s no need for talk of taking liberties. Princess, please take the seat of honor.”
Princess Consort Luo had soone bring a chair for Liu Sisi to sit on, then looked at Niuniu beside Liu Sisi, “This must be the eldest of the triplets? It must be hard on you raising three of the sa age at the sa ti.”
“It’s not too bad, there are maids and old won-servants at ho to help, so I don’t feel it’s too tiring.”
Liu Sisi spoke politely and chatted with Princess Consort Luo casually for a while before steering the conversation towards the purpose of her visit. Yet, unsure of how to broach the subject, she found herself hesitating.
Having parted only yesterday, Liu Sisi was paying a visit today, and no one would believe there was no reason for it.
Princess Consort Luo, being a perceptive person, waved her hand to dismiss the servants, “Does the princess have sothing to say?”
“I really do have sothing to talk about.”
Liu Sisi let out a sigh of relief, her face showing a bit of shyness, “It’s really because of your exemplary household managent, Aunt Consort. So many of your young misses have married off, unlike our family—with our bunch of different ages, none of them are quite settled yet, especially Xuan’er, who has been in the capital for a few years now, thanks to Aunt Consort and the Prefecture Princess’s care. This really weights… sigh, on my mind!”
Princess Consort Luo’s heart stirred, and then she smiled, “Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Speaking of which, this is also a fate created by Thirteenth Luo herself. Initially, her throat and eyes were ailnt-ridden, and it was only thanks to your Xuan’er’s escort all the way that she safely arrived in the capital city. This is their destined connection.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Sisi let out a sigh of great relief!
She hadn’t expected that this matter would be so simply resolved! The two exchanged smiles, each seeing satisfaction in the other’s eyes.
anwhile.
As soon as Liu Sisi had just arrived, a clever little maid had run to inform Thirteenth Luo.
“Is it Aunt Liu who has co? Is she alone, or is she accompanied by soone?” Thirteenth Luo hurriedly dressed, casually asking the maid who had co to report.
“There is also a miss with her, young in age, looking about five years old.”
Five years old? That must be Niuniu then.
Thirteenth Luo quickly dressed and hurried to the prince’s mansion’s main hall.
When she arrived, she just saw Eleventh Luo, who had gone to Di Residence with Princess Consort Luo yesterday, had also arrived.
“It turns out sister is here too! It seems our Thirteenth Sister also has very sharp ears.”
Eleventh Luo said while sizing up Thirteenth Luo from top to bottom, her eyes nearly shooting poisonous arrows and about to spew fire.
“Sister Eleven also has sharp ears.”
Thirteenth Luo smiled softly, not caring at all about what Eleventh Luo said.
“Hmph!”
Eleventh Luo huffed lightly, still wanting to say more when, just then, a little maid ca out from inside to announce: “Princess Consort invites the two misses inside.”
Liu Sisi was whispering with Princess Consort Luo. When the sisters entered, the two stopped talking, and naturally, greetings were exchanged anew.
Princess Consort Luo’s gaze fell on Eleventh Luo, showing a mont of surprise and doubt, but in the blink of an eye, it returned to calmness, and she continued to chat and laugh with Liu Sisi.
And Liu Sisi’s eyes could not help but slide towards Thirteenth Luo.
Before she had such thoughts, she didn’t feel much about Thirteenth Luo, but now, looking carefully, Thirteenth Luo was tall and of moderate build, with a cloud bun on her head adorned with various small pearls, and in the middle was a treasure blue three-tailed peacock hairpin. Paired with a perfectly oval face like a lon seed, her beauty dazzled everyone present.
She was wearing an evening cloud blue brocade dress with an auspicious cloud pattern, underneath a moon rose patterned top, with a brocade red flower breastplate snug around her chest, around her waist was a bean green palace fish-shaped rose pendant buckle, and on her feet, light blue embroidered shoes with hundreds of butterflies stitched in gold thread, revealing just a bit of the tip.
At that mont, her slender fingers, like tender shoots, were twirling a silk handkerchief. A gentle smile on her face, she stood gracefully before everyone.
Indeed, she was a top-notch talent! No wonder she was once nearly betrothed to several princes.
After chatting and laughing for a while, the two withdrew once again. Waiting until they were alone, Princess Consort Luo picked up the teacup and took a sip, her face breaking into a proud smile. Her tone carried an undeniable sense of self-satisfaction.
“It’s not for to boast about others, but my Thirteenth Loren has both talent and looks—she has it all. She is no less than that… any of them!”
