Fu Xiaoyu felt a pang of heartache. Yes, she was thinking of him, she had him in her heart, and he would have to treat her even better in the future.
He stepped forward, put his arm around her shoulder, and gently comforted her, "He must be happy for you in heaven. You've found such a wonderful partner, he'll be happy for you too."
Cui Yulu, who was originally crying, was actually amused by him.
"Your Highness, how can you be so frivolous? This is clearly a very sad matter, how can you speak of it so lightly?"
"Isn't that simple? I have this ability to simplify complex things, and you're only just realizing it?"
The two men burned the things they had brought for Xu Zhengfan. After they finished doing all this, the servants prepared food for them.
"Did you prepare all of this?"
"Yes, you've slept for so long, I was worried you'd be hungry when you woke up, so I had them prepare some food. Eat up, and after you're done, I'll take you to a better place to catch fireflies."
After the two had finished their meal, the servants drove the carriage to another place, where the forest was unusually quiet.
All that could be heard was the rumbling of wheels.
"How did Your Highness settle the mother and her two children?"
"Don't you trust me to do things?"
"But if you're willing to listen, I'm willing to tell you."
Fu Xiaoyu then told her about arranging for a doctor to treat the mother and her two children, as well as the subsequent arrangements. Cui Yulu leaned on his shoulder and nodded in satisfaction.
"Don't worry, I guarantee that the mother and her two children will be healthy. Whether they eat coarse food or rich food in the future is none of our business."
"Your Highness is the most reliable person, so I trust you completely. I was just bored in the carriage and thought I'd chat with you about something, which led me to this question."
Fu Xiaoyu gently patted her shoulder and told her, "We'll be there soon. If you feel tired, lean on my shoulder and take a nap."
"Are you really planning to raise me like a pig, where all I do is eat and sleep?"
"I'd like to raise you into a little pig, eating and sleeping, you'd be so cute and adorable."
Cui Yulu gently punched his chest, then turned her head away shyly.
"I don't want to be a fat woman."
As they spoke, the coachman stopped the carriage, and the servants quickly brought lanterns to light their way.
"You don't need to follow me, just rest here."
Cui Yulu took a lantern and instructed the servants to rest there.
"There are also some fruits and snacks in the car, please share some."
The servants were overjoyed to hear this and quickly thanked the princess.
"We thank Your Highness and Your Highness."
Cui Yulu waved her hand somewhat shyly, as she was still a little embarrassed to be called a princess since she wasn't married yet.
"Oh dear, please get up. Don't call me that. I still..."
"What are you still talking about? You are already my queen, it's just a formality that's missing. Don't worry, I will definitely give you a grand wedding ceremony in the future."
Cui Yulu didn't say anything more, but looked at him and let him hold her hand as they walked to the place where the fireflies gathered.
There were indeed many more fireflies here than in the place Xu Zhengfan had found.
"When did Your Highness discover this place?"
“I discovered this place the first time you went to catch fireflies with Xu Zhengfan. But back then, you ignored me, so I caught fireflies here by myself, thinking I could give them to you later.”
Cui Yulu lowered her head and chuckled softly; it felt so good to be remembered like this.
He quickly caught a bag of fireflies and handed it to her.
"So, do you like it? This is the result of my many practice sessions, so you have to give me some praise."
Cui Yulu chuckled as she accepted the bag of fireflies, finding them quite adorable as they twinkled like little stars.
"I have to say, you're amazing! I admire you so much."
As she spoke, her eyes sparkled as she looked at Fu Xiaoyu, her face filled with admiration and respect.
"Have you really let go of Han Yu'an in your heart?"
Why are you suddenly asking this question?
Cui Yulu didn't understand why this man was suddenly brought up when things were originally going well.
Now, when she talks about Han Yu'an, she feels no emotion whatsoever.
"Does Your Highness want me to have it, or not?"
Fu Xiaoyu pretended to be angry, pinched her chin, looked into her eyes and said seriously, "Of course I hope that my princess only has me in her heart."
"If so many princes still don't believe me, then I think our wedding doesn't need to continue."
Seeing that she was angry, Fu Xiaoyu quickly coaxed her gently, "I was just bored and asked casually. It's all my fault for being so talkative and asking that question."
He took her hand in his and whispered comfortingly, "Don't worry, I promise I won't ask you those questions again. I trust you completely."
Cui Yulu pulled her hand away from his and said angrily, "Since you don't trust me, how about I take you to the Han family tomorrow and explain this matter clearly?"
Fu Xiaoyu stood behind her, chuckling to herself, but when she turned around, her expression turned serious again.
"Since Your Highness wishes to do so, then we will go to the Han family tomorrow to make things clear."
After this incident, Cui Yulu lost the desire to appreciate fireflies.
On the way back, she became much quieter, staring out the window without saying a word.
Fu Xiaoyu naturally knew what she was thinking, but he didn't say anything more and said he would resolve everything tomorrow.
Cui Yulu tossed and turned until late at night, unable to sleep, thinking about what Fu Xiaoyu had said that day. If this matter wasn't resolved, it would always be a thorn in their side.
It's better to wait until tomorrow morning and get up early to go to the Han family to resolve this.
Lost in thought, she lost track of time before she gradually drifted off to sleep.
Fu Xiaoyu, who had been waiting outside, only left to go back to her own room to rest after hearing the even breathing sounds coming from inside the house.
Lin Yun shook her head helplessly as she watched this scene. It was truly an eye-opener to see the prince so attentive to a woman for the first time.
The next morning, before the rooster had crowed three times, Cui Yulu got ready and jogged over to knock on Fu Xiaoyu's door.
Fu Xiaoyu usually goes to bed late, but he has never had the habit of staying in bed. Cui Yulu knocked a few times, but there was no response from the room.
"I knew you were lazy. Get up now. Today I'm going to prove to you that there's no one else in my heart."
As she spoke, Cui Yulu knocked on the door a few more times.
Are you saying I'm lazy?
Fu Xiaoyu, who was already dressed, stood next to Cui Yulu, looking at her with a light smile.
Now it's clear who's lazier.
"Hehe, so Your Highness gets up so early. I underestimated Your Highness. I was wrong."
