When Yan Wan woke up from her afternoon nap, she was overwhelmed by a huge sense of loss, which made her feel that everything was unreal. She couldn't tell whether she was in a book or in the modern world.
Yan Wan lay on the bed with her gaze blank for a while, then got up and looked around Ji Mohan's bedroom. Just like him, it was lonely and empty, with only necessities such as a bed and a table, and everything else was kept simple.
Yan Wan decided to renovate the house, since she would be living there in the future. She got right to it, calling on Li Dong and Li Xia to help with the renovations.
"Winter Solstice, Summer Solstice, quickly bring me my personal belongings. My things haven't been moved to another room yet."
“Miss, no, the Prince’s Mansion has not arranged a new place for you. You should be living with the Prince.” Li Xia said with a sly smile.
"Okay, let's pack quickly and put away my personal belongings, clothes, and everything else," Yan Wan said happily.
She suspected that her feeling of emptiness just now was because Ji Mohan's room was too empty. How could her own room, which she had decorated to be so fragrant and soft, have such a feeling?
Yan Wan and her group were enthusiastically renovating Ji Mohan's house and courtyard, while the two hidden guards in the shadows were caught in a dilemma.
Xiao Wu: "We're just going to watch the prince's bedchamber being ravaged by the princess... Won't the prince be unhappy when he comes back?"
Xiao Liu: "Fifth Brother, but the Prince and Princess are husband and wife. What if the Prince is willing?"
The two of them murmured together for a while, and their little actions caught Li Xia's attention. She went over and told Yan Wan.
Just then, all of Yan Wan's small belongings had been settled, leaving only a few large items that she and her maids couldn't lift. She was about to go to Uncle He to ask a few servants to come and help when Li Xia came over and told her that there were hidden guards in the tree.
That's perfect, saves me the trouble of making the trip myself.
Yan Wan slowly approached the tree where Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu were sitting. This action alerted the other guards hiding in the courtyard. What happened? Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu had been discovered?
Xiao Wu: "Has the princess discovered us?"
Xiao Liu: "Impossible, Fifth Brother, we hid very well."
"Hello, friends in the tree, come down and help me!" Yan Wan greeted them with a smile.
"What should we do? Fifth Brother, should we go out?" Xiao Liu asked hesitantly.
"What do you think! She's a princess!" Xiao Wu said, exasperated.
After she finished speaking, two men in black appeared in front of Yan Wan and respectfully bowed, saying, "Your subordinates greet Your Highness."
"Wow, hello there! Can you help me move some things? I'll treat you to something delicious later." Yan Wan sized up the two people who had suddenly appeared; they must be the bodyguards described in the book.
“Yes, Your Highness,” Xiao Wu said in a muffled voice.
I thought the princess wanted to ask about the prince, but it turned out she just wanted the two brothers to help move things.
Your Highness, do you know what a secret guard is? (Very loudly)
Hidden in the shadows, Xuan Yi watched with exasperation as Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu were discovered by the princess's maid. He plotted to give them extra training!
After Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu helped Yan Wan move her things inside, they saw that the prince's bedroom was unrecognizable. The two thought in despair, "We're doomed. Will the prince kill us when he comes back?"
"You two come out and eat something," Yan Wan called from outside the door.
Yan Wan asked Li Xia to bring her homemade taro milk tea and spicy shredded beef jerky to thank the two of them.
"Your Highness, there's no need for you to be so polite. This is what I should do," Xiao Liu politely declined.
Xiao Wu stared intently at the shredded beef, its aroma was irresistible, it smelled so good, he really wanted to eat it!
"It's nothing, it's nothing. This is just to thank you for your help. Please eat."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Xiao Liu looked at the princess's sincere face and did not refuse again.
The group ate and chatted. Yan Wan asked a question, and Xiao Wu answered. The two chatted enthusiastically, and Xiao Liu couldn't stop them. He almost said, "Fifth Brother, are you preparing to eat your last meal?"
"So, do you guys carry out some very dangerous missions?" Yan Wan asked curiously. Family members, bodyguards, and they're alive! Who wouldn't be interested!
"Sometimes, I guess. Last time I went on a mission, I almost didn't make it back," Xiao Wu said with a smile, seemingly unconcerned.
"Your Highness, how is this taro milk tea made? It tastes so good!" Xiao Liu quickly changed the subject, afraid that Fifth Brother would say something he shouldn't.
"This is a drink I came up with in my spare time, and there are also many delicious snacks. I'll invite you to eat them after I've made them," Yan Wan said, following up on Xiao Liu's topic.
"Wow, Your Highness, you're amazing! This spicy shredded beef is so delicious! I've never eaten anything so good before," Xiao Wu said as she ate, seemingly unable to stop.
Yan Wan looked at Xiao Wu, who was talkative and a foodie, and said with a smile, "If you like it, I'll pack some more for you later so you can eat it slowly when you get home."
"Really? Thank you, Your Highness."
Watching Xiao Wu eat and take things from the shadows, the brothers felt a mixture of envy and jealousy. Their own failure was terrible, but their brother's success was heartbreaking! They decided that Xiao Wu would treat his older brothers to the beef jerky he brought back later!
Military camp outside the city.
"Your Highness, are you returning to the palace today? Don't leave your little darling wife alone in her room," Li Shang said with a cheeky grin.
"Are you free? We're short-handed in the northern desert." Ji Mohan glanced at Li Shang and said.
"Oh, Your Highness, I just heard some news from the Han Prince's residence. Don't you want to hear it?"
"What?" Ji Mo asked coldly.
"Of course it's your little fiancée. I heard she's completely transformed your courtyard. Hahahaha, and your bodyguards too..." Li Shang said vividly. Suddenly, Ji Mohan got up and walked out.
"Hey, Your Highness, I haven't finished speaking yet, where are you going?"
"Return to the residence."
Li Shang watched with a smile as his friend mounted his horse and rode away in the distance. Just a moment ago, he seemed indifferent about whether he would return to the manor or not, but as soon as he heard about his little wife, he couldn't wait to go back. This sister-in-law really knows how to handle things.
wrong.
Li Shang hurriedly followed, determined to join in the fun.
I hope Ji Mohan won't get angry and throw this delicate little girl into the dark dungeon! That would be so interesting, hehe.
Prince Han's Mansion.
Yan Wan stood at the entrance of the Prince's Mansion waiting for Ji Mohan, with Uncle He also waiting beside her.
"Your Highness, why don't you go back to the manor and wait? The Prince might be back very late," Uncle He advised, looking at the Princess who was sitting on the threshold, resting her chin on her hand.
"No, Uncle He, he said he would come back and have dinner with me."
Uncle He: I remember the prince didn't agree this morning! Or am I just old and remembering wrong?
Uncle He was helpless?
Uncle He sighed
"Uncle He, you go ahead and do what you need to do. I'll wait a little longer; he'll definitely be back." Yan Wan felt embarrassed to keep Uncle He waiting with her.
"It's alright, Your Highness, this old servant will wait with you."
What Uncle He didn't say was that the prince had never returned from the military camp this early before, so it seemed the princess's wait was in vain.
well!
No, Uncle He felt like he was seeing things. Otherwise, how could he see his lord returning?
wrong!
