One year later, in Gu Luobing's home in the newly built Imperial Capital Star.

Two women were fighting over a watermelon; they were none other than Gu Luobing and Lu Yulan.

"How much longer are you going to stay here? You've eaten all the watermelons I grew."

Lu Yulan pretended not to hear, took another bite of the watermelon core with her spoon, let out a long sigh, and then gave Gu Luobing a smug smile.

"I'm doing this for your own good. You're planning to conceive with Professor He, and besides, I'm the one who provided these watermelon seeds."

Upon hearing this, Gu Luobing's bad mood returned. "Can we please not bring this up again?"

It's all Lu Yulan's fault. After waking up, she did nothing but become interested in pharmacology. She traveled all the way back to Rose Star to become Lao He's apprentice.

They're always coming up with weird and wonderful ideas, like motherwort, goji berries, and cold-related ailments...

Ironically, Old He actually succeeded in his attempt, and he grew quite fond of his apprentice, Lu Yulan. The two of them were eager to improve the woman's conception rate.

Then Gu Luobing became one of the first experimental guinea pigs. Of course, the herbs were all confirmed to be harmless and even very nourishing.

Now, whether Gu Luobing is pregnant or not is another matter, but her body is getting bigger and bigger.

Seeing that Lu Yulan was still slim, she realized that her own belly was practically growing into a swimming ring.

"Let me tell you, if you give Lao He any more tricks, I'll cut ties with you and send you straight to Lu Yuanhong."

Lu Yulan chuckled and looked at Professor He who was walking over. "I'm sorry, it's too late."

"But don't worry, this time it's not food, it's exercise, which can help you lose weight."

As Lu Yulan spoke, she blinked, and Gu Luobing felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end.

"What have you done? How did I end up as a friend of yours?"

Watching Gu Luobing reluctantly being dragged away by Professor He to begin the baby-making plan, Lu Yulan lazily stretched and looked at the soft golden sunlight shining down outside.

"What a beautiful day."

A beautiful day begins with shopping. Just as I stepped out of Gu Luobing's house, I saw a strange little guest.

"Sister Lan?"

Sophia wanted to rush forward, but Lu Yulan took a step back. She still got goosebumps just thinking about Su Guo, even though she knew the little princess hadn't done anything wrong and had been persistently trying to play with her all year.

Lu Yulan was still somewhat resistant.

Seeing Lu Yulan back away, Sophia kicked He Yu, who was standing next to her. It was all that stinky man's fault; he had such a poker face and scared Sister Lan.

"Sister Lan, let's go shopping."

Seeing Sophia's little actions, Lu Yulan felt somewhat helpless, always feeling that He Yu was taking the blame for her.

"Sister Lan, there are so many new clothes at the mall lately, let's go buy some!"

The little princess has a very sweet tongue, and even Lu Yulan, who still has a little shadow in her heart, is not very able to resist it.

The two people walked ahead, while He Yu followed behind, carrying the bag.

Lu Yulan quietly asked, "Why are you carrying crane feathers again?"

Sophia wrinkled her nose. "It's not that I wanted to take him on. My mother said I should learn some things about being an heir. The imperial tutor she found drove me away because of me, so he volunteered himself."

Speaking of this, Sophia got angry. This person clearly knew that she and Sister Lan had a good relationship and wanted to take advantage of her proximity.

"Ignore him, he's not interested at all."
