"You're completely healed in less than a day!" Ye Miaoyun was very surprised. After a while, she said, "Mother knows that you are not ordinary people. Mother just didn't expect Chengshuo to be so powerful that he could protect you. My daughter has good judgment."

Good taste?

Ye Xianya was slightly taken aback. Just as she was about to say something, she heard her maternal grandmother Hua's voice again.

"Xianya, are you going out anytime soon?" Every time you go out, your mother worries terribly!

If Xianya were an ordinary girl, even she, the old lady, would be worried.

The emperor issued an imperial edict, and the rules restricting women were not as numerous as before, but it was certainly not safe for young women to go out.

Fortunately, her daughter Xianya was no ordinary woman and had the ability to protect herself.

Hua felt that her daughter sometimes worried too much.

Perhaps it's because I think too much during pregnancy!

"I probably won't be going out anytime soon!" Ye Xianya turned her head and smiled.

She had calculated that Jiang Yi would not dare to consume human souls for the time being.

That Hetu won't dare to appear again anytime soon.

She's not stupid; she knows Hetu is going to deal with her, and since she's no match for him for the time being, she'll naturally avoid him.

"That's good. Your mother is not young, and this pregnancy has been quite difficult for her. I can only feel at ease if you are there when she gives birth," Hua said quickly.

As her granddaughter's abilities grew, Hua's trust in Ye Xianya became somewhat blind.

It seems there's nothing that my granddaughter can't do.

Just like the old man said, praying to gods and Buddhas is not as good as praying to their family's fairy bud.

Although she agreed with it, she still went to the Buddha to pray for her daughter.

Get a few more, just in case!

"Grandmother, don't worry. I will definitely be there when Mother gives birth." Ye Xianya said with a smile, "Since Mother became pregnant, I have been giving her pills made from spiritual herbs and fruits every now and then. These pills not only make Mother healthy and ensure a safe delivery, but also make the baby in her womb very healthy. The baby will be much stronger and smarter than ordinary children when it is born."

These are all foundations laid in the womb.

It would be very easy for her younger brother to embark on the path of cultivation in the future.

Of course, he was going to inherit the throne, so he could just practice martial arts casually to keep himself healthy.

Not everyone in this world wants to cultivate to become an immortal. After all, this path is very difficult, and a slight mistake can lead to the destruction of one's soul, leaving no chance for reincarnation. Being a mortal and living a peaceful life is a kind of happiness.

Just like Ye Xianya's family, none of them suggested that they cultivate together with her.

"How have you been these days, cousin? Are you settling in well at the Hanlin Academy?"

"My mother told me that my second and third cousins ​​went to study at the Imperial Academy."

Ye Xianya turned her head and started chatting with her two aunts.

Ye Xianya's eldest cousin, Ye Qingze, passed the imperial examination this spring and entered the Hanlin Academy.

My second cousin, Ye Qinglin, and my third cousin, Ye Qingyan, went to study at the Imperial Academy.

All three cousins ​​took the imperial examination route.

In fact, my second cousin, Ye Qinglin, had been very interested in fortune telling and talisman drawing, but unfortunately, after studying it for several months, he had no clue whatsoever and hadn't even gotten started. So, he listened to his grandfather and continued his studies to pursue the imperial examinations.

"Qingze has become a lecturer, and with the Emperor's protection, he is also very promising. Everyone in the Hanlin Academy treats him very well. Qinglin and Qingyan are also doing well at the Imperial Academy. Your maternal grandfather said that their studies have improved and they can participate in the imperial examination next time!" Zhou said with a smile.

This is a life she never dared to dream of before.

All of this was brought about by Xianya and her daughter, and Zhou was extremely grateful.

She and her second sister-in-law haven't been managing Taoyuan Residence much lately, leaving it to their husbands.

The two women are quite skilled at needlework, and lately they've been making a lot of children's clothes, especially cotton-padded jackets.

Miaoyun's baby was expected to be born around the eleventh month of winter. The weather in the capital was cold, and even though there was an underground heating system in the palace, the baby would still need a padded coat.

The children in the palace certainly didn't lack these things, but they still wanted to do their part.

After having lunch with them, Ye Xianya returned to her residence, Liuyun Palace.

During her absence, Shen Furong was particularly bored and trimmed all the flowers and plants in Liuyun Palace. However, her skills were mediocre, and the trimming was not very good. She just asked the eunuch in the flower room to help her replace some of them.

Upon seeing Ye Xianya return, Shen Furong hurriedly ran to greet her.

"Princess, you're finally back."

"I've been back for two hours, and I've been in Mother's bedchamber the whole time." Ye Xianya rubbed her forehead. "I'm sorry, Furong, I should have sent someone to call you."

"When I see you now, it's the same for me." Shen Furong didn't know how much longer she could serve Ye Xianya. The only thing she was sure of was that she would grow old slowly. As a cultivator, the princess aged slowly and had a long lifespan. She couldn't stay by the princess's side forever.

Shen Furong also longed to cultivate Taoism and wanted to stay by Ye Xianya's side for a long time, but unfortunately she didn't have much talent.

These days, Ye Xianya is not around. She tried the cultivation method that Ye Xianya had instructed her to use before, but to no avail.

If she still hasn't made any progress in a few years, she'll give up and, as the Empress suggested, find someone to marry and live an ordinary life.

However, Shen Furong was particularly interested in what was happening outside and kept pestering Ye Xianya with questions.

Ye Xianya then told her everything.

After resting on the soft couch for a while, Ye Xianya got up.

“I haven’t been in the capital lately, so I’m sure there are a lot of people who want me to tell their fortunes. Give out more number plates today!” Ye Xianya said as she put on her coat.

"Isn't the princess going to rest today?" Shen Furong asked, somewhat surprised.

Her master only just returned to the capital today, and he's already going out to tell fortunes?

"I'm not tired," Ye Xianya said.

She was no ordinary person, and Zhengzheng was carrying her on the way, so she was in very good condition.

She and Zhengzheng had obtained many spiritual herbs and fruits in Flying Snow Valley, and they had eaten too much. So far, they had not yet absorbed all the energy from them. In the past few days, Ye Xianya had been feeling very full and could not eat anything.

After tidying herself up, Shen Furong quickly accompanied Ye Xianya out of the palace.

...

After many days, Ye Xianya returned to the mansion for the first time.

For her, the princess's residence was just a place to stay casually.

To her surprise, Qi Chengshuo was still staying there.

"Aren't you going back to the Prince's Mansion?" Ye Xianya asked with some surprise as she looked at Qi Chengshuo, who was accompanying the Grand Elder to enjoy tea and discuss cultivation.

“The Prince’s mansion is not as safe as your Princess’s mansion.” Qi Chengshuo poured a cup of tea for Ye Xianya: “Moreover, I have many matters of cultivation to ask the elders.”

Ye Xianya, however, was somewhat skeptical.
