During Yuan Yun's postpartum period, she was naturally attended to by the maids in the mansion. Park Yoo-hee also took leave to take care of Yuan Yun and Zhao Changli at home.
However, Park Yoo-hee mainly takes care of Jo Jang-rye. She has given birth to a child and has personally raised Jo Jang-pu since birth. She is experienced and the most suitable person to take care of the child.
Chunqin usually has a lot of things to do, and now that the third generation of the Zhao family has been born, with various expenses in the household, she is even busier than before.
During this period, Yang Cai'e was very considerate and took extra care of Yuan Yun.
Every day, the first thing Yuan Yun sees when she wakes up is Yang Cai'e, and the last thing she sees before she closes her eyes when she goes to sleep is also Yang Cai'e.
The two sisters have gotten along very well during this time.
One afternoon, Qiu Shu quietly brought in a bowl of sweet porridge.
Yang Cai'e put her index finger to her lips and said softly, "Leave it there. I'll feed her when my sister wakes up."
After Qiu Shu put down the sweet porridge, she didn't leave. She leaned close to Yang Cai'e's mouth and said, "Zhou Nuo is outside. She wants to see the young mistress."
Yang Cai'e frowned slightly and said, "My sister is sleeping and does not receive guests."
“Let her in…” Yuan Yun suddenly said.
"Ah, sister, you're awake!" Yang Cai'e quickly went over to help Yuan Yun.
Yuan Yun leaned against the headboard and said, "Acheng has already brought Zhou Nuo home, so she can't really be considered a guest."
As she spoke, Yuan Yun looked at Qiu Shu and said, "Please invite her in."
“Yes…” Qiu Shu glanced at Yang Cai’e and quickly turned to leave.
A moment later, Zhou Nuo walked in carrying a gift box.
She was dressed as before, as if she were a martial arts practitioner. She walked up to Yuan Yun, bowed deeply, and said, "This commoner, Zhou Nuo, greets Your Highness, the Princess!"
“We’re family, there’s no need for this.” Yuan Yun raised her hand.
Upon hearing the words "family," Zhou Nuo remained calm, while Yang Cai'e frowned, somewhat displeased.
Zhou Nuo put down the gift box and asked, "Your Highness, how are you feeling?"
Yuan Yun smiled and said, "With Sister Cai'e and Youxi taking such good care of me, I'm naturally fine. Zhou Nuo, let me ask you, how is my emperor brother?"
Zhou Nuo said, "Your Majesty is in good spirits."
Yuan Yun asked, "Do you still often lose your temper?"
Zhou Nuo thought for a moment and said, "The Emperor I saw didn't seem to lose his temper much; he seemed to be in a good mood."
Yuan Yun nodded and said, "There have been many happy events in Dajing recently, so he should be in a good mood!"
Zhou Nuo remained silent.
Yuan Yun looked Zhou Nuo up and down and said, "I know about what happened between you and your brother. Zhou Nuo, I know you feel wronged. It's not easy for you and your brother. You have to consider the big picture, remember the Emperor's grace, and make yourselves comfortable. It's really difficult."
Zhou Nuo said honestly, "I don't mind suffering a little, I just don't want my brother to put himself in danger."
Yuan Yun said, "Acheng admires Zhou Chuan very much. I often hear him talk about the things he and Zhou Chuan went through together. I think that going to the Western Regions is not a bad thing for Zhou Chuan."
“Zhou Chuan is a man with ideals and ambitions. You are right that going to the Western Regions is risking his life. But if he can return calmly, he will be completely transformed, like a newborn.”
“Zhou Nuo, even A-Cheng has confidence in Zhou Chuan, so you should have even more faith in your brother.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Nuo suddenly knelt down, tears welling in her eyes, and said, "Your Highness, I have often heard the people of Jing Kingdom speak highly of you, and I have often heard Zhao Cheng mention your virtues. I used to disagree, but now I admire you. You are indeed a very special woman!"
"Not really, I'm just a few years older than all of you."
Yuan Yun changed the subject and asked, "Has your father discussed your future with you?"
Zhou Nuo shook his head and said, "Not yet."
Yuan Yun thought for a moment, then turned to look at Yang Cai'e and said, "Cai'e, go and tell Mother to come over later."
Yang Cai'e understood what Yuan Yun was trying to do and advised, "Sister, you're still in your postpartum period..."
Yuan Yun interrupted, "My parents are both low-key people, and it's even more to their liking that all the happy events happen at once."
"I understand." Yang Cai'e took a deep breath and looked at Zhou Nuo with a complicated expression, knowing that the matter was irreversible.
If Yuan Yun doesn't agree, Zhou Nuo might not even be able to get in the door.
But now that Yuan Yun has accepted Zhou Nuo and has high hopes for Zhou Chuan, Zhou Nuo will inevitably become one of the sisters.
But at the same time, Yang Cai'e thought of something, and her face inexplicably lit up with joy.
"Cai'e, go now. Zhou Nuo, feed me the porridge."
"yes."
"yes……"
Following Yuan Yun's instructions, Yang Cai'e went to find Mu Zhaojun, but instead of returning directly, she went out of the mansion to find Dong Hua.
Zhao Cheng's business in Yanchuan City was inseparable from Dong Hua, and Dong Hua had to go to Dong Ji Trading Company almost every day.
Yang Cai'e had only taken a few steps out of the mansion when a carriage stopped, and Donghua emerged from it.
"Winter painting."
"elder sister!"
"Why are you back so early?" Yang Cai'e grabbed Dong Hua's hand.
Dong Hua said, "I heard that Sister Chunqin was vomiting badly, so I came back to see her."
Yang Cai'e asked doubtfully, "Chunqin vomited a lot? How come I didn't know?"
“I ran into Xia Qi on the street; she told me about it.”
"Then I need to tell you something right away." Yang Cai'e pulled Dong Hua into the mansion, and the two walked to a corner of the front yard.
Donghua asked suspiciously, "What's wrong, sister? Why are you being so mysterious?"
Yang Cai'e looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping, and then said, "The Princess has agreed to let Zhou Nuo in."
Dong Hua said dismissively, "This is something anyone could have guessed. Zhou Nuo was appointed by the Right Prime Minister, and the Eldest Princess certainly wouldn't embarrass the Right Prime Minister. So she might as well take the initiative to bring them together and let Zhou Nuo owe her a favor."
Yang Cai'e said in surprise, "Wow, you little rascal, you've become more and more shrewd in business these past few years, you even thought of this."
Donghua reminded her, "Sister, I know you don't like Zhou Nuo, but you can't trip him up in this matter, or you'll get yourself into trouble!"
"What are you thinking! The Princess has instructed me that her bottom line is family harmony. How could I possibly do anything reckless?"
"So what do you want to do?"
“Sister…you’ve been with A-Cheng the longest. Let’s not talk about Chunqin for now, but the Princess and I entered the family before you, and now it’s Zhou Nuo’s turn soon. Aren’t you worried at all?”
"Why should I be in such a hurry? I..."
Halfway through her sentence, Donghua immediately realized what she meant and exclaimed in surprise, "Sister! You want me and Master to..."
Yang Cai'e immediately covered Dong Hua's mouth and frowned, saying, "Keep your voice down!"
Dong Hua tried her best to keep her voice down, saying, "How can this be?!"
"Why can't we do that?"
Yang Cai'e said earnestly, "You're not young anymore, and you can handle things on your own with Acheng in the business. Take advantage of Zhou Nuo's arrival to get things done with Acheng. Your parents prefer to keep things low-key, so having all the happy events happening at once is what they want. Now is the perfect time!"
"Sister, in this mansion, only the two of us sisters can truly trust each other!"
