The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1166

Chapter 1166: Chapter 989, The Sense of Familiarity Remains Unchanged

"Moreng, do you still remember me?"

Daohua smiled as she looked at Xiao Moreng, the legitimate eldest son of the Fourth Prince. It had been several years since they last met, and the once baby boy had now grown into a refined young man.

Xiao Moreng quickly stepped forward to greet them: "Moreng pays his respects to Uncle Prince and Aunt Princess."

Xiao Yeyang smiled and nodded his head, while Daohua went forward to help him up: "Good child, stand up. You must be exhausted after the journey, aren’t you?"

Because they once saved Xiao Moreng, the Fourth Prince Residence maintained good relations with them, and she was quite fond of the boy.

Xiao Moreng looked at his aunt, who seemed almost unchanged from his memories, and smiled as he shook his head: "Replying to Aunt Princess, I am fine, but some of my younger brothers are indeed a bit tired."

Daohua had Xiao Moreng sit down, and ordered the maids to serve fruits: "You didn’t pick the right time to come. June and July are the hottest months in Xiliang. Did you suffer any heatstroke or illness on the way?"

After all, he is the son of a Prince, so pleasantries must be exchanged.

Hearing this, Xiao Moreng couldn’t help but make a comment in his heart.

When to come, and whether to come at all, was not decided by the Fourth Prince Residence. His father and mother did not want him traveling in the heat, but when other uncles and aunts chose this time to come, what could he do?

If the Fourth Prince Residence did not follow along, they would certainly be criticized for lacking filial piety.

Though these thoughts filled his mind, Xiao Moreng was extremely respectful in his response: "With the Imperial Physician accompanying us all the way and regularly drinking herbal decoctions to ward off the heat, we did not suffer from heat illness."

Daohua nodded with a smile: "That’s good to hear. You have no idea, when I received the letter from your Imperial Grandfather saying you would be coming, I was a bit worried. The journey from Beijing to Xiliang is long and arduous. Thankfully, you have arrived safely."

"By the way, how are your father and mother? Are they well?"

"Thank you for your concern, Aunt Princess. Father and mother are both very well."

Daohua made conversation with Xiao Moreng about light, everyday matters, which helped to ease the nervousness he felt upon his initial arrival at the Prince Residence.

Indeed, within just a short time, Xiao Moreng seemed less tense and more relaxed.

Xiao Yeyang quietly observed Xiao Moreng, noticing that although the eldest legitimate son of the Fourth Prince was young, his manners were already impeccable.

Other families sent their younger legitimate sons, the intention being obvious. Only the Fourth Prince sent his eldest legitimate son.

According to Daxia’s laws, the eldest legitimate son is to inherit the family assets, which shows that among all the Princes who sent their sons here, the Fourth Prince’s heart for venerating the old lord seems to be the most sincere.

Because of this, Xiao Yeyang felt an increased sense of fondness for Xiao Moreng.

After Daohua and Xiao Moreng had exchanged enough pleasantries, Xiao Yeyang finally asked: "You’re eleven this year, aren’t you?"

Xiao Moreng nodded: "Yes, Uncle Prince."

Xiao Yeyang: "You look quite sturdy. Have you been practicing martial arts?"

Once again, Xiao Moreng nodded. Before coming, his father had told him that this Uncle Prince was highly skilled in martial arts. While in Xiliang, in addition to paying respects to the Duke, he should seize every opportunity to ask the Prince for guidance.

With his father suffering from ear problems, the future of the Fourth Prince Residence rested on him. Possessing excellent martial skills was beneficial and harmless, no matter what he might do in the future.

"Replying to Uncle Prince, I have been practicing martial arts since the age of five and have learned Internal Martial Arts."

Xiao Yeyang laughed and said: "I can tell your father has been very diligent in teaching you. Now that you are in Xiliang, you must not slacken your efforts. Martial arts training requires persistence, and you must not interrupt it. If you have any questions in the future, you can come to ask me."

Xiao Moreng’s face lit up with joy, and he quickly stood up to bow: "Thank you, Uncle Prince, I will remember your teachings."

Daohua interjected with a smile: "All right, there’s plenty of time for that in the days to come. Let’s not rush and discuss it later. Moreng must be tired from the journey. Let him go and freshen up."
