Yuan Yao was unaware of what had happened at Qianhua Palace.
After leaving Yuehua Palace, she gave a few instructions and then, together with Yun Chan and Huai Yao, headed towards Yong'an Palace.
Looking at the palace path covered with white silk ribbons, Huaiyao slowed her pace, feeling somewhat sad: "Yuan Xiaoyao, if only we hadn't grown up yet."
I haven't married into the Northern Barbarians, my elder sister hasn't married into the Western Hills, and Feng Xun hasn't become the Crown Prince yet...
If we could go back a little further, that would be even better.
You were just over three years old then, tiny and soft...
Everyone is still here, and every day, besides going to school, they gather at Si Shi Chun and Qian Hua Palace...
In the sweltering summer, we'll go to the East Lake Palace to escape the heat, catch crabs by the river, and pick mushrooms in the mountains...
At that time, the Emperor and His Highness were in their prime...
If only time could turn back!
Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao stood still.
Childhood memories flooded back to me.
Yes, if only time could turn back, wouldn't that be wonderful?
Back then, all my friends were still around.
But back then, she always wished time would pass faster.
Her father was too tired; she just wanted to grow up quickly so she could take him away as soon as possible.
Now that she's truly grown up, her father can finally rest, but she's begun to miss her childhood days...
At that time, Feng Xun had not yet returned to Xiqiu to become the crown prince.
Huairou and Huaiyao often came to visit her.
Xie Zhi and Lin Xuan were always inseparable. Xie Zhi always had a bright smile, revealing a set of white teeth, and he would call Lin Xuan "Little Yao" this and "Little Yao" that...
But in the end, they left her...
Suddenly, the strands of hair that had brushed against her cheek were brushed aside.
Yuan Yao looked up.
The person beside her was a head and a half taller than her, and beneath the silver mask, a pair of bright and beautiful eyes.
His voice, though cool, held a gentle quality: "I'm here."
Yuan Yao smiled faintly.
yes.
Although everyone has gone their separate ways, Yun Chan is still by her side.
He was like a shadow, always by her side.
She could always see him whenever she turned her head or looked up...
Moreover, she also had her father with her.
Heaven has been kind enough to her!
She should have died from that lightning strike fifteen years ago...
In this life, she was the one who was picked up.
Since it was adopted, it should be content to grow up in love and happiness!
With that thought, Yuan Yao's inner conflict was resolved.
She smiled gently at Huaiyao and teased, "Huaiyao, if you weren't grown up yet, wouldn't you not see Haolie for a while? Would you be willing to let that happen?"
Huaiyao paused for a moment, her face flushed slightly, and she snorted, "So what if I can't see him? It's not like I can't live without him."
Besides, with you and my elder sister by my side, it doesn't matter whether he's here or not!
"Really?" Yuan Yao teased her deliberately, "If you don't marry Hao Lie, you can only marry someone from Da Qi!"
At that time, you will be confined to the princess's residence every day, spending your entire life with a boring consort who even speaks in a pedantic manner..."
"I can train him!" Huaiyao said. "If he dares to quibble over words and act pretentious in front of me, this princess will break his legs!"
puff……
Yuan Yao continued, "Since you're willing to part with Hao Lie, then what about Xiao Mu Si?"
"If you can't marry Haolie, you won't be able to have Xiao Musi."
Little Musi...
Thinking of her adorable son, Huaiyao frowned: "Okay, I admit it. If I had to choose again, I would still choose to marry into the Northern Di."
I don't regret marrying Haolie.
She married for love, and she also married for freedom.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao took Huai Yao's hand and said, "Huai Yao, time cannot be reversed, so you must strive to live this life well."
Huairou and Fengxun will be happy, and you and Haolie will be happy too.
Since life is happy, then move forward with confidence and boldness.
Don't dwell on the past too often; otherwise, you'll only create more regrets.
"And what about you?" Huaiyao frowned at her. "Yuan Xiaoyao, will you find your happiness?"
“My happiness…” Yuan Yao turned to look at Yun Chan and said with a smile, “It seems I’ve already found it.”
Huaiyao: "..."
She pursed her lips and looked at Yun Chan, who was standing next to Yuan Yao and whom she had selectively ignored: "Hey, Yun Chan, although I've never really liked you since I was little, and I always thought you were cold, you have to treat Yuan Yao well!"
There are plenty of men in this world who love Yuan Xiaoyao. If you don't treat her well, plenty of men will cherish her like a precious jewel!
Yun Chan smiled slightly: "The princess is right."
Huaiyao snorted and asked, "Then when are you going to marry her?"
Marry Yuan Yao?
Yun Chan's ears turned slightly red as she looked at Yuan Yao's face.
Yuan Yao: "!!!"
Why did we suddenly start talking about marriage?
She's only fifteen!
Although in ancient times, women could legally marry when they reached marriageable age and men could legally marry when they reached adulthood, this is still too young!
Looking at Yuan Yao, whose face was as red as a cherry, Yun Chan smiled and said, "Marriage is a major event in one's life."
If she's not mentally prepared, I won't rush her.
Yuan Yao: "..."
She coughed lightly and continued Yun Chan's words: "Although Father faked his death, as his daughter, I still have to observe three years of mourning for him!"
Let's talk about this in three years!
Three years?
Huaiyao exclaimed in surprise, "Yuan Xiaoyao, you'll be eighteen in three years!"
Moreover, Yun Chan was already twenty-three years old at that time!
Yuan Yao found it quite amusing upon hearing this.
She looked at Yun Chan and blinked: "Yun Chan, are you in a hurry to get married?"
Yun Chan: "..."
He pursed his lips: "No rush..."
"Of course I'm anxious!" Huaiyao frowned and snorted coldly, "Yun Chan, you should pay a little more attention!"
Once Qian Sui leaves, Yuan Xiaoyao will also have to leave...
"If she falls for someone else in the future, you'll be in for a world of trouble!"
Yun Chan: "..."
He looked at Yuan Yao: "Would you make me cry?"
Yuan Yao: "..."
She was both amused and exasperated: "No!"
"You promise?" Yun Chan asked.
Yuan Yao nodded: "I promise!"
Yun Chan looked at Huai Yao, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Yuan Yao said she won't fall for another man."
"In this life, she will marry no one but me."
Yuan Yao: "?"
Yun Chan's skin is getting thicker and thicker!
However, she felt a strange sweetness in her heart...
Yuan Yao picked up her snow-white mourning clothes and cleared her throat: "Alright, I have important business to attend to today, you two are not allowed to hold me back!"
Huaiyao raised an eyebrow at Yunchan: "Yuan Xiaoyao is shy."
"Huaiyao!" Yuan Yao stamped her foot: "Are you still going to Yong'an Palace or not?"
"Go, go!" Huaiyao followed her, "I need to go and observe mourning for my father!"
After saying that, Huaiyao took Yuanyao's arm and strode forward: "Your legs are short, so if I hold your arm, we can walk faster."
Yuan Yao: "?"
She retorted irritably, "Where are my legs short?"
Huaiyao replied, "You're short in every way, especially compared to Yun Chan! Tsk, Yuan Xiaoyao, in front of Yun Chan, you're just a little white kitten..."
A white kitten?
Yuan Yao pursed her lips: "What about Yun Chan?"
Without a second thought, Huaiyao replied, "The White Tiger!"
White Tiger?
When the White Tiger was mentioned, Yuan Yao suddenly stopped in her tracks.
"What's wrong?" Huaiyao stopped and looked at her.
Yuan Yao looked at Yun Chan with difficulty: "Yun Chan, is there any news about Tang Yuan?"
Yun Chan paused for a moment, then shook her head.
Yuan Yao felt as if she had been doused with a bucket of ice water, chilled to the bone: "The glutinous rice balls are already four days late..."
"Could something have happened to it?"
