"Jinshu, how could you make both the cream and the pills so quickly?"
Bo watched the girls applying facial creams excitedly. She was curious about how so many creams and pills could be made so quickly.
Yu Jinshu said, "My dear Concubine Wang, I want to go home early. I stayed up all night last night and worked hard to make them."
Bo looked at Yu Jinshu and asked, "Why did you go home so early? Did something happen at home?"
Yu Jinshu smiled and said, "Nothing has happened at home, but I don't dare to stay in the palace for too long. It's better to go home early."
Bo said, "I've been feeling quite lively lately with you guys at the palace, and my mood has improved a lot."
One girl said stupidly, "Princess Dowager, we will stay here with you for a few more days."
The prince hasn't chosen her yet, and she is unwilling to go home like this.
Bo laughed stiffly. This girl, I'm afraid her brain is not working well! The host didn't invite the guests to stay, so the guests asked to stay.
She said this just as a compliment, but I took it seriously.
These days these girls have been chattering and scheming against each other, making a lot of noise.
Several other girls echoed this, saying that they all wanted to spend a few more days with the Princess Dowager.
Bo still wanted her son to choose one of these girls, so she said casually, "Then you can stay here for two more days."
Yu Jinshu bowed and said, "Princess Wang, I have prepared these creams and pills for them, and then I will go home."
Bo wanted to keep Yu Jinshu, but she was worried about what might happen between her son and Yu Jinshu, so she said, "Jinshu, even if you want to go back, you have to have dinner first."
Yu Jinshu didn't refuse.
Huo Qi did not return for dinner. After Yu Jinshu had a simple meal, he got on the palace's carriage and went home.
After staying in the palace for two days and then returning to the small house in the suburbs, it was like heaven and earth.
However, with her parents and relatives around, she felt warm and had a sense of belonging, no matter how bad the situation was.
In the palace, if she does not get the approval of the Queen Mother, it is no longer her home, but a prison for favors.
It seems that her and Huo Qi's task of having a child is still very difficult.
At night, Huo Qi returned to the palace and wanted to look for Yu Jinshu first, but he felt very disappointed when he heard Yu Yufan say that she had gone back.
It seems that she was scared last night.
The next morning, Bo asked her son about choosing a princess.
"Mother, the Hu people are about to invade. From now on, I will guard the border and will not let a single Hu person enter the pass."
Bo asked worriedly, "When will you come back?"
Huo Qi said, "I'm afraid we'll have to wait until this winter is over."
Bo: "Then I will help you choose a princess, and we will have the wedding in the spring. As for the girl I mentioned yesterday, she's the best among all of them. Although she's not very mature, she's still young. I'll slowly educate her, and she'll definitely become a virtuous wife in the future."
Huo Qi stood up and said, "Mother, even if you marry her, I won't want her. This will ruin her life."
Bo stood up in anger. "Then what are you going to do? Don't marry? Like the monks in the temple, who never marry or have children?"
Huo Qi said, "Mother, please give me some time. I will marry a wife within two years."
Bo choked up and said, "Okay, within two years, if you still can't find a wife, I will help you find one. And..."
She paused, "You must not marry Yu Jinshu."
Huo Qi didn't want to talk much with his mother. He rarely argued with her, and there was no point in talking too much.
Bo watched her son walk out, feeling helpless, and thought it would be better to send those girls away as soon as possible.
As soon as Huo Qi walked out of his mother's yard, he saw the sixteen girls outside.
He was not wearing a mask. He wore the mask for Yu Jinshu. Now that Yu Jinshu knew that he was Abai, there was no need for him to wear it anymore.
The sixteen girls saw Huo Qi's true appearance, and it was exactly like the one in the painting. No, it was even more handsome than in the painting.
This man is so beautiful that it's infuriating.
But just when they wanted to greet Huo Qi, Huo Qi walked around them and left, leaving behind only a heartless back.
The girls were also used to Huo Qi's coldness towards them.
Now that they have seen Huo Qi's true appearance, they are even more determined to obtain the position of Princess of Mobei.
They entered the Queen Dowager's courtyard.
Bo looked at these girls and planned to ask them to leave.
"Girls, the prince will be staying in the military camp on the border. He needs to defend the camp day and night because the barbarians are about to invade. For your own safety, you should return today!"
The girls were dumbfounded when they heard this. They had just seen the prince's true appearance and were about to leave the Mobei Palace.
"Princess Dowager Wang, does the prince have any girl he likes?" One of the girls spoke out boldly.
Bo sighed and said, "The prince is devoted to serving the people and has no thoughts on marriage. I am quite helpless."
This means that the prince doesn't like any of them.
The girls were extremely disappointed.
Bo said, "You should hurry back! If the barbarians invade, Xiyue City will be burned, killed, and looted."
One girl said, "With the prince here, why should we be afraid of the barbarians?"
Bo said, "To be honest, a few days ago, the prince and three of them were on a border patrol when they encountered a hundred barbarians disguised as Han Chinese. The prince's three men were ambushed and all died, and the prince was also seriously injured. Fortunately, he was rescued by Miss Yu. This is why our Mobei Palace treats the Yu family so well."
When these words were spoken, the girls screamed in surprise.
"No wonder the prince values Miss Yu and Master Yu so much. It turns out that Miss Yu is the prince's savior."
Bo said, "That time, more than a hundred barbarians entered the pass to investigate Xiyue City and prepare for the next invasion. Now our people have discovered that they are about to make a move, so the girls should return home early to avoid disaster."
After hearing this, the girls didn't dare to say anything more. After saying goodbye to the Queen Mother, they hurried back to the guest house to pack up.
That day, Yu Yufan followed Huo Qi to the border military camp.
Yu Yufan's foot injury has almost healed after using his sister's magic medicine. He can basically walk normally, but he can't run or jump.
Considering Yu Yufan's foot injury, Huo Qi took a carriage to the military camp.
"Would you like to go home first after you leave town?"
Yu Yufan smiled: "Your Majesty, it is you who wants to go see my sister!"
Huo Qi thought about the tenderness they had shared the previous night, a smile spreading across his face. "This prince will definitely marry your sister."
When Yu Yufan heard this, he was both happy and sad.
It seems that there is a gap between my sister and Huo Qi that cannot be crossed.
In the suburbs where the Yu family members live, Yu Zhongming was directing several strong young men in the clan to build a courtyard wall with stones.
Seeing a carriage approaching, Yu Zhongming guessed that someone had come from the Mobei Palace.
The carriage stopped, and it turned out to be his son and Abai.
But Abai's attire today was different from before. Yu Zhongming looked at the python pattern on Abai's robe and guessed that Abai was the King of Mobei.
Yu Zhongming was about to kneel down, but was helped up by Huo Qi.
"King Kaiyang, you can't do that."
