Zhu Wuhuan couldn't help but smile as he watched the children having fun.
What lovely children.
Xiao'er and Aqiong are still too lonely. They should have more companions to play with.
When I get back to the palace, I'll pick some playmates for these two kids. I'll pick them from the families of the ministers who are loyal to her. They have to be good-looking, have good character, and be gentle...
In the afternoon, Zhu Wuhuan left with his children and Feng Yushu, who was reluctant to leave.
The children who were left behind in the village ran after the carriage crying, choking and shouting as they ran—
"Sister, you have to come back to see us! We miss you!"
"Aunt Wu, we will be good!"
"Xiao'er, Aqiong, we'll come back and play with you!"
"Sister, Aunt Wu, brothers and sisters, you must think of us every day when you go back, wuwuwu... Don't forget us..."
"We'll be scared... wuwuwu..."
Zhu Wuhuan and the other three children in the carriage leaned against the window and looked back at the children who were running away crying.
She waved to them.
"Be good, go back, don't run, be careful not to fall."
The carriage was moving faster and faster, and they could not catch up. They stood not far away, wiping their tears and looking at the carriage sadly, crying like little tearful people.
Zhu Wuhuan leaned against the wall of the carriage until he could no longer see them.
She sighed. When adults fight for power, the innocent children are the ones who get hurt.
"Aunt Wu, please don't be sad. It would be our fault if we made you sad—"
Feng Yushu heard Aunt Wu sigh, wiped her tears, and hurried to comfort Aunt Wu.
Aqiong and Xiao'er also hugged their mother's arms and comforted her cutely.
With the comfort of his three children, Zhu Wuhuan quickly adjusted his mood and asked Feng Yushu about some trivial matters in life with a smile.
In the evening, the group returned to the city.
The carriage drove straight towards the street where the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was located.
Feng Yushu's princess's mansion was located not far from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.
When they arrived at the Princess's Mansion, Zhu Wuhuan said, "This will be your Princess's Mansion from now on. Not far away is the Zhenguogong Mansion. If you have any problems, go to the Zhenguogong Mansion to find Fifth Aunt's parents and brothers. Oh, by the way—"
She smiled at Feng Yushu and said, "Isn't Fifth Aunt's second sister-in-law, Princess Feng Yao, your cousin? Whether from Fifth Aunt's side or your Fifth Uncle's side, she is your relative. If you have any problems, go to her. If she can't solve it, go to Fifth Aunt in the palace, okay?"
Feng Yushu looked at the words "Princess Anle's Mansion" written on the plaque, and her eyes became slightly moist.
Her fifth uncle and fifth aunt conferred the title of Princess Anle on her.
She is no longer a sinner, she is a princess.
No more guards would break into her room in the middle of the night to commit adultery with her, and no one would try to take her to Yanliu Lane to engage in the dirty sex trade...
She regained her freedom and her dignity.
She looked at Zhu Wuhuan with tears in her eyes, "Aunt Wu, I understand. Thank you."
Then she lifted the curtain and stepped out of the carriage. She lifted her skirt and knelt respectfully on the hard bluestone slabs, kowtowed three times solemnly and performed a great salute.
"I, the sinner Feng Yushu, bow down to thank the Emperor and Empress for their kindness. I will remain loyal to them for the rest of my life and will never have second thoughts!"
She looked up at the mother and her two children in the carriage with a firm look in her eyes.
Every word she spoke was sonorous and resounding. "I swear that if I, Feng Yushu, dare to have second thoughts in this life, I will be struck by lightning and will be condemned by heaven and earth!"
Zhu Wuhuan looked at the child and said softly, "Okay, Aunt Wu knows your determination."
She gestured for Feng Yushu to stand up, "Hurry up and get into the mansion to familiarize yourself with it. Rest for the night. Tomorrow the palace will issue an imperial decree to confer you the title of Princess. You just need to be prepared to receive it."
Feng Yushu thanked him and stood up.
Zhu Wuhuan urged her to go in. "Go ahead. There are more than a dozen maids, eunuchs, and guards carefully selected by Aunt Fifth from the palace. You can use them first. If you need more manpower in the future, you can go find a human trafficker to buy them yourself."
Feng Yushu nodded with tears in her eyes, "Okay, thank you for taking so much trouble for me, Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu."
Zhu Wuhuan laughed and said, "Silly talk! Since you call us Fifth Uncle and Fifth Aunt, shouldn't you be so bothered? Go ahead. Fifth Aunt will also be returning to the palace soon. Otherwise, your Fifth Uncle will be waiting anxiously."
Feng Yushu thought of her fifth uncle who would rather run into her dagger in order to gain her sympathy, and couldn't help laughing, "Fifth uncle should be anxious. Fifth uncle cares about fifth aunt the most."
Aqiong and Xiao'er squeezed their little heads out and raised their hands, saying, "Father also cares about Xiao'er and Aqiong. Cousin, we are also Father's treasures!"
Feng Yushu smiled, "Of course, you are also Uncle Wu's sweethearts and precious flesh and blood. He treasures you the most."
The two children smiled at her happily, waved goodbye to her, and asked her to come to the palace to play with them often in the future.
She agreed to all of their requests, then bowed and respectfully saw the Queen off.
After the carriage and the guards following behind had all left the Princess's Mansion, Feng Yushu turned around to look at her own Princess's Mansion, and her eyes couldn't help but reveal the innocence and happiness of a girl.
She put her hands behind her back, tilted her head back, and looked at the plaque of the Princess's Mansion, turning around and around. The more she looked, the happier she became, and the smile spread from the corners of her mouth to her eyes.
Then, just when she was happy, she suddenly heard the horse sneeze.
She suddenly turned her head and looked in the direction of the sound.
At the corner on the right, a man and a horse were quietly stopped there. The horse was sneezing, and the man on the horse was holding the reins and looking at her with a smile.
She looked at the man sitting on the horse with his back straight and was stunned.
He was a very handsome young man. He was wearing a black robe and had a knife on his waist. He looked like he had just returned from the military camp.
His handsome figure sitting on horseback was just like the time when she was escorted out of the capital by the Duke of Zhenguo and secretly saw him climbing onto the horse through the small window of the carriage.
So beautiful, so chic and neat.
The only difference is that he was a teenager back then. Now he is a grown man with sharp features and a calm temperament. He is no longer the boy who was helpless when his younger brother pulled his clothes.
"Don't you recognize me?"
On horseback, Zhu Chunjun saw the little girl staring at him blankly without going up to say hello, and he couldn't help but laugh.
Feng Yushu finally came to her senses.
She put aside her chaotic thoughts, smiled brightly, and trotted forward, then bowed respectfully, "Master! Shu'er greets you!"
Zhu Chunjun chuckled. "What do you mean by calling me Master? I was just ordered to teach you and your sister martial arts for a few months. Then, when something happened, I left immediately. Look, how could there be such a dishonest Master in the world?"
Feng Yushu looked up at him and smiled, her eyes full of joy. "No, you are the best master. You left for the sake of family and country. How could you not be devoted?"
