Chapter 212 Yuzhu Villa
Even if Yuwen You wanted to make Xue Jiaer a concubine, she would not agree.
Because she knew too well the struggles between these women.
There was a time when she and Feng Aoqing watched all kinds of palace fighting dramas crazily.
She knew that if she, a daughter of a merchant, became the Crown Prince's concubine, she would become the target of public criticism.
One woman is not scary, but when all women unite to fight her, that becomes very scary.
She is not actually afraid of fighting, but she is afraid that these people will tie her hands and feet, making it impossible to complete many things smoothly.
What she wanted was such a small identity, so that the women in the prince's palace would think that she was favored by the prince because of her beauty or pity, not because of any other abilities.
Of course, she also needs to wait for an opportunity to let the key figures of Tianyao see her abilities.
On the way back to the capital, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took great care of her.
Such kindness surprised Yuwen You's attendants. They had never seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treat any woman like this. Even the Crown Princess, the daughter of the Prime Minister, had never been treated like this.
When two people are together, they often lock themselves in a private space.
Xue Jiaer was very careful and cautious, afraid that others would discover her secret, but from time to time she wanted to use the things in this space to give His Royal Highness the Crown Prince some small surprises to keep things fresh.
Yuwen You was obviously unable to extricate himself.
The group traveled almost day and night, fearing that something might happen.
Xue Jiaer didn't complain at all. She once traveled with Mo Beiyuan from Lianzhou to the capital. Zhaojing was much bigger, so the distance between the two places was much longer. This little bit of hardship was nothing.
What's more, Yuwen You's journey was well arranged. He rode in a car all the way and never rode a horse. The car was covered with thick cushions.
Yuwen You sat in the car with his eyes closed, resting, while Xue Jiaer was sewing a piece of royal blue brocade carefully.
"Let the subordinates do these things from now on. Be careful not to hurt your hands."
"I want to make it myself for Your Highness. This hot water bag is not something we have here. It would be better to hide it with cloth for you." Xue Jiaer patted the plastic hot water bag at Yuwen You's feet.
"Oh, yes, I took it out just in case I got used to it."
He is a little afraid of the cold, so this hot water bottle is much better than a copper hand warmer.
"We're going back to Beijing soon. If you need anything, tell Yan Qing in advance and he'll go back to Beijing first to make arrangements for you."
"No need. I believe the things in the mansion must be the best from Quan Tianyao, so there is no need to add anything else. And if Your Highness attaches so much importance to it, then I really won't have a good life."
Yuwen You’s face froze.
Xue Jiaer threw the needle away and knelt in front of him.
Yuwen You helped her up, pulled her to sit beside him, held her hand and said, "Only the Crown Princess can't be touched. If anyone else touches you, I will kill them directly."
"I believe that royal marriages are often unhappy, and people often marry relatives rather than the person they truly love. Therefore, Your Highness must not do this. This is a critical time, and you cannot offend these relatives for my sake. You still need them."
Xue Jiaer smiled faintly.
"You also know that I have everything I need. I feel that it is enough for His Highness to protect me from Mo Beiyuan's harm. I don't care about status or glory."
Yuwen You knew her abilities and knew that she could live a good life even without following him. All he could give her was the protection of his status.
If he can give it, any prince from any country can give it.
All he could say was that God had blessed him. Thinking of this, he held Xue Jiaer's hand tightly.
When Yan Qing rode away, she still hadn't made a single request.
Yuwen You and Yan Qing walked aside and gave some instructions.
Yan Qing didn't know why, but he was always polite to Xue Jiaer, even a little too polite. Xue Jiaer could feel it, and of course Yuwen You could feel it too.
Along the way, Xue Jiaer tried to chat with him several times, but he always took ten steps away from her and didn't even say anything except "yes" to her.
Xue Jiaer thought that maybe he saw another side of her at that time, but she was not afraid of Yan Qing and Yuwen You telling her, because even if Yuwen You's love was fake, his need for her was real.
He doesn't have the toughness of Mo Beiyuan, who said that he can fight and win even without Xue Jiaer and Feng Aoqing.
Moreover, he really led the army to the south alone.
Thinking of Mo Beiyuan, Xue Jiaer took a deep breath to relieve the piercing pain.
The two stayed in Zhaocheng outside the capital for another night. When they arrived in the capital, it was already afternoon.
"Your Highness, the capital is so nice! I love it here."
"As long as you like it, it will be Jiaer's home from now on, so naturally you should like it."
In fact, Tianyao's capital is really nice. Except for the lack of fertile land in the territory, they exchange jewelry for cash, so they are very rich. With money, they can naturally buy what they need.
The streets and houses in this capital city are full of luxury, which shows that the people here must be extravagant, which is not a bad thing.
When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returned to the capital, everyone in the Crown Prince's Mansion was extremely anxious and the whole yard was filled with colorful things.
However, Xue Jiaer discovered that all the other carriages in the group went to the main street, but the one she and Yuwen You were riding in turned into the alley.
This is like hiding a beautiful girl in a golden house!
As expected, I didn’t dare to take it directly into the house.
She remained calm and continued to do her needlework, sewing the last few stitches in just the right amount of time.
"Your Highness, we're here." Yan Nan said outside the car.
When Xue Jiaer got out of the car, she saw a villa with a few clumps of purple bamboo outside the gate. It was very quiet and elegant.
The plaque reads: Yuzhu Villa.
"Jia'er, I haven't paid my respects yet. I've thought about it and decided to stay outside first. I'll go and ask my father for help today..."
"Your Highness, let's just talk about business today. We can discuss other matters after you return triumphantly." Xue Jiaer interrupted him.
"Okay, I understand. Remember, no matter what I say about you outside, you don't have to care. That's what I say to others, not my real intention." Yu Wenyou explained.
"Yes, Your Highness, please come to the palace immediately! It's urgent."
"No hurry, let me get you into the house first."
Xue Jiaer followed him into the house.
The servants had already been arranged in the house and were kneeling in the yard to pay their respects.
She saw that most of them were maids, some of whom were strong and powerful, and should be martial maids.
"This will be your future master. You must obey her orders in everything. Her orders are my orders." Yuwen You said to his servants.
"Yes, Your Highness." Everyone kowtowed.
"I'll leave Yan Nan to you. He's good at martial arts and is familiar with the capital. You'll find him useful."
"But how can you survive without your guards?" Xue Jiaer shook her head.
"How can I be without someone to use? I can only feel at ease when he is here." Yuwen You looked at Yan Nan.
Yan Nan hurriedly saluted and said, "I will protect you with my life."
Yuwen You saw that everything was ready, so he left with peace of mind.
He said to Yan Nan who had been sent out, "Do you know how to stop those people?"
"clear."
