Chapter 245: Daoist
"Miss Qi, please wait a moment!"
Nanny You glanced at Wei Qiqi, her gaze sweeping over Yuan Bao’s little face, then turned and entered the guest room.
Yuan Bao remained obediently silent.
However, the feeling inside was quite unpleasant.
This house seemingly belonged to their family.
But just now, Yuan Bao clearly felt that the others were the hosts and she was the guest.
Nonetheless, Yuan Bao didn’t make a fuss.
After all, this house originally belonged to Wei Wushang, and when they sold it to her little uncle at such a low price, they owed them a favor in the first place.
Moreover, the person she was about to meet was the Eldest Princess, the Emperor Xia’s own aunt.
After a while, Nanny You came out from inside and indicated that Wei Qiqi could take Yuan Bao in.
"Thanks for the trouble, Nanny!"
Wei Qiqi politely bowed to Nanny You in gratitude before leading Yuan Bao into the guest room.
Yuan Bao followed Wei Qiqi into the guest room and quickly took in the situation inside.
Her grandfather and grandmother were there, along with her second aunt and third aunt.
However, they were all seated in less prominent positions.
Sitting in the primary seat was a stately woman who appeared to be only around forty years old.
As the Eldest Princess of Daxia, of royal descent, pampered from a young age, even as she aged, she had access to various beauty products and supplements. Having never experienced the hardships of life, she naturally appeared quite young.
Alright, Yuan Bao actually didn’t know the Eldest Princess’s age.
However, by estimation, even if she wasn’t fifty, she wouldn’t be far from it. After all, her granddaughter was about the same age as her little uncle.
"Mrs. Zeng, this is Jiaojiao!"
Upon arriving, Wei Qiqi had already greeted and paid respects to Old Yuan and others; this was their second meeting, so she only gave a simple greeting, then introduced Yuan Bao to the Eldest Princess.
"Mrs. Zeng, Jiaojiao is here to wish you a Happy New Year! I hope the new year brings you happiness, all your wishes fulfilled, and everything goes as you desire!"
Yuan Bao stepped forward, respectfully greeted, wished a Happy New Year, and said pleasant things.
At that time, wishing a Happy New Year was usually just a simple phrase, "Happy New Year."
But now, when Yuan Bao said so many nice things, it immediately brought a broad smile to the Eldest Princess’s face.
"Good, good!"
The Eldest Princess, hearing Yuan Bao’s string of blessings, was smiling broadly with delight.
She casually waved her hand, and a nearby nanny immediately stepped forward, took out a delicate wooden box from her sleeve, and handed it to Yuan Bao.
"Good child, this is a New Year’s gift from Mrs. Zeng, take it!"
Seeing Yuan Bao looking at the wooden box without taking it, the Eldest Princess chuckled.
"Thank you, Mrs. Zeng!"
Yuan Bao immediately accepted the wooden box and kowtowed to the Eldest Princess once more.
Although she didn’t know what was inside the wooden box, with such a fine box, whatever’s inside definitely wasn’t haphazardly chosen. After all, this gift was from the Eldest Princess.
"Mrs. Zeng, I’ll take Jiaojiao out to play now!"
Seeing Yuan Bao had finished paying respects to the Eldest Princess, Wei Qiqi was about to take Yuan Bao and leave.
With all the elders here discussing matters, it was best for the younger generation to keep some distance.
"No rush, no rush!"
The Eldest Princess smiled slightly, "Stay here and chat with Mrs. Zeng for a while!"
"Wait till your little uncle and the others return, and then you can go play!"
As soon as the Eldest Princess finished speaking, Wei Wushang and Yuan Yindi entered the guest room in succession, followed by a Daoist in a robe.
