As Uncle Han recounted the story vividly, Han Luoxue could almost picture the events of that time.
A cold and aloof man, a woman lying on the ground with a nosebleed—the scene was so beautiful it was almost unbearable to watch.
"Your Highness, don't worry, I will keep an eye on the Prince for you."
Uncle Han did not forget to express his loyalty to Han Luoxue.
Han Yuchen proudly raised her head before letting go of Uncle Han's arm: "Alright, go back and rest!"
After saying that, he took two steps forward, pulled Han Luoxue into his arms, and said softly, "Why did you suddenly come to the capital? You didn't even tell me. I would have sent someone to pick you up!"
"Han Yuchen, let go! Have you ever hugged her like this before?"
Even though she knew that Han Yuchen couldn't possibly have anything to do with that woman, Han Luoxue still couldn't help feeling jealous.
They were engaged for so many years, and regardless of their feelings for each other, that is an indelible fact.
"No! Absolutely not!" Han Yuchen assured him firmly. Only then did Han Luoxue believe him, her body going limp in his arms.
Seeing the two embracing each other tenderly, Uncle Han quietly stepped back and closed the courtyard gate. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, and Prince Zhen must be very busy tonight.
Do you still remember Du Linlang?
Han Luoxue was carried back to the room. She was a little embarrassed and her little face was tightly huddled in the man's arms.
"Ah, I remember!"
Back in the room, Han Yuchen was reluctant to let go, so he simply held her in his arms, and the two snuggled together on the soft couch.
"Their family has moved to the capital. I guess the merchants in Yongyang are uneasy after my grandfather came back. I heard that several large families have moved back."
"Sister Linlang wants to continue her previous business, and she also wants to expand it. I think that business is quite profitable, so I agreed to come and help her open the shop."
"Brother Chen, I disguised myself when I came to the General's Mansion, so I shouldn't cause you any trouble, right?"
Han Luoxue asked tentatively.
"No, it's alright!"
"The reason we didn't let you come to Beijing with us, and didn't reveal your identity, is mainly because of your current health condition. Xue'er, this is our first child, and whether it's a boy or a girl, I don't want anything to happen to him. Can you understand how I feel?"
"After the child is born, I will definitely win you back in style with the regalia of a crown princess!"
Han Yuchen solemnly promised.
There are still more than four months until the baby is born, and everything in the capital will be settled. He will clear all obstacles before bringing Xue'er and her baby over.
"Okay, I'll wait for you!"
"Has the little one been behaving well lately?" Han Yuchen gently placed his hand on Han Luoxue's lower abdomen. It had been more than a month since he last saw her, and her belly had grown quite a bit bigger.
“She’s been very well-behaved. My appetite has always been good. The child hasn’t been too fussy either. When we came to the capital, Sister Linlang was considerate of my health and didn’t travel very fast, so I didn’t suffer much.”
"I estimate that I can go back in about a month."
Han Luoxue had watched many palace dramas before and knew how cruel they were. For example, the famous struggle for the throne among the nine princes was truly a bloody and brutal affair.
Even if she were alone, she wouldn't be afraid; she could face it together with Han Yuchen.
But now that she's pregnant, she'll wait until the baby is born safely before coming to stay with her.
As for the baby, if all else fails, she'll leave him with his parents; the child's safety is more important. Although she also hates to be separated from her child.
"A month? Then you should stay at the General's Mansion!"
Han Luoxue has been in the capital for so long, and the people in the General's Mansion wouldn't feel at ease if she stayed outside.
"That won't do, I don't think it's appropriate."
The General's Mansion belongs to the Prince of Zhen's faction, so many people are definitely watching it. Coming over once or twice is fine, but if a strange woman suddenly comes to stay permanently, especially if she's pregnant, anyone with a brain would be suspicious.
"Where would you like to stay?"
Hearing that Han Luoxue didn't plan to stay here, Han Yuchen frowned unhappily.
"Living at the Du family's house isn't convenient, so I want to find my own courtyard!"
"There's no need to look for a courtyard anymore. Zhou Jie will help you pick one out later."
The Zhou family has many unused courtyards, and he also owns several villas not far from the capital. However, his brothers are all aware of his properties, so it's not convenient for Xue'er to move in right now.
"That works too. By the way, are there any plots of land for sale in the suburbs of Beijing? Something a little further from the capital would be fine, and a larger area would be good too."
“Mountains are fine too. We can build an orchard and plant all kinds of fruits. If it’s not too far from the capital, we can hold a fruit-picking festival when the fruits are ripe. We can open a restaurant at the foot of the orchard, and it would be even better if there were hot springs at the foot of the mountain.”
Han Luoxue couldn't help but linger there when she thought of that scene.
Various fruits are planted on the mountain, with different varieties that can be picked three times a year. After picking the fruit, you can eat at the foot of the mountain or at the top, enjoying farm-style dishes and the delicacies of the mountains.
After dinner, you can check into the hot spring resort at the foot of the mountain. There are hot springs there, so you can soak in them after dinner and chat. It's a life that even the gods wouldn't trade.
Han Luoxue was certain that if her plan succeeded, she would make a fortune in the future.
"I hadn't noticed that. I'll have them keep an eye on it later."
"The place you mentioned that is close to the capital and has many mountains is even easier to explain. Didn't Father Emperor say last time that he wanted to reward you with the title of County Princess?"
Han Yuchen gently sniffed Han Luoxue and said softly, "Tomorrow I'll have them send over a map of the capital. Just tell me which place you want, and I'll reward you with it."
