For years, she had been sleeping in the Moonflower Palace.
She had long been accustomed to the large bed in the Moonlight Palace and to her father's soft, fragrant embrace.
Now, suddenly we have to sleep in separate beds...
Suddenly, it hit me hard...
Looking at the dazed little dumpling, the Ninth Prince reached out and patted her little head: "What's wrong? Are you reluctant to leave your father?"
“Mm.” Yuan Yao nodded.
"You little dumpling..." The Ninth Prince chuckled, "I'm only thinking about your reputation. How could I bear to do this to you?"
Yuan Yao rested her head on the Ninth Prince's lap and said matter-of-factly, "Since Father is reluctant to let her go, then don't let Yao'er sleep alone."
Yao'er doesn't care about reputation anymore!
"The only person Yao'er cares about is her father!"
Furthermore, who in the world doesn't know that the Nine Thousand Years Old is a eunuch?
What could possibly happen between them, father and daughter?
She's only seven years old!
What's going on in these people's heads?
Speechless...
Looking at his beloved daughter, who was acting all high and mighty, the smile on the Ninth Prince's face widened.
He patted Yuan Yao's head: "Alright, I was just teasing you."
Before you come of age, you may sleep in the Moonlight Palace for as long as you wish.
Is it the coming-of-age ceremony?
She's still many years away from reaching marriageable age!
Yuan Yao happily hugged the Ninth Prince's arm: "Father, you have to keep your word!"
"Of course." The Ninth Prince raised his hand and gently tapped the tip of her nose.
Yuan Yao was relieved and happily picked up her chopsticks to serve food to the Ninth Prince: "Father, please try some..."
Upon returning to Daqi, the Ninth Prince resumed his busy schedule.
Every day, there are endless official documents to read and government affairs to handle.
During this time, Yuan Yao paid her respects to the Emperor, Empress, and Consort Lin...
After touring the palace, she left and went to the Four Seasons Spring.
The weather is hot, and business is booming in Sishichun.
Two years ago, Yuan Yao specially bought the land on both sides of Si Shi Chun and expanded Si Shi Chun.
Unfortunately, the restaurant was still packed with customers.
The carriage stopped outside the Four Seasons Spring Gate.
As soon as the carriage came to a stop, Tangyuan jumped off and shook his fur.
Upon seeing the glutinous rice balls, everyone in the four seasons of spring exclaimed in surprise.
"Aww..."
Tangyuan lowered her voice and called out softly.
Hearing the sound, a worker poked his head out from the door.
Upon seeing Yuan Yao, he exclaimed happily, "Princess?! The Princess is back..."
The noise was so loud that many people peeked out to see what was happening.
Shopkeeper Bai was busy calculating with his abacus when he heard this. He forgot all about the accounts, threw down his abacus, and strode out of the shop.
Upon seeing Yuan Yao, Manager Bai exclaimed with delight, "Princess, what brings you back?"
He really didn't hear a thing!
Yuan Yao said happily, "Uncle Bai, I came back the day before yesterday!"
Yesterday, I was busy paying my respects to the Empress and Consort Lin, so I only left the palace today.
Shopkeeper Bai carefully examined Yuan Yao: "The princess has lost weight."
You've lost weight?
Yuan Yao smiled, her eyes narrowing: "So, have I grown taller?"
"Too high!" Manager Bai nodded.
Yuan Yao smiled happily.
The other staff and guests also laughed and said, "The princess has not only grown taller, but she also seems to have become more beautiful!"
Yuan Yao was overjoyed.
She went upstairs, ate a lot of desserts, and then went to Baiweilou for a stroll.
Baiweilou's business is not bad either.
I chatted with the shopkeeper for a long time, and by the time she left, it was already evening.
A horse-drawn carriage stopped outside Baiweilou Restaurant.
The carriage curtain was lifted from the inside.
A woman dressed in a gorgeous lake-green dress, adorned with pearl hairpins, lifted the curtain, her eyes slightly red: "Princess..."
Upon seeing the woman, Yuan Yao exclaimed joyfully, "Sister Danqing!"
Danqing stepped down from the carriage, and a maidservant helped her up, saying, "Madam, please be careful..."
Danqing stepped down from the carriage and eagerly grabbed Yuanyao's hand: "Princess, was your trip smooth?"
"It went smoothly!" Yuan Yao said with a smile, "Father went to the Xiqiu Palace to pick me up!"
Danqing nodded, relieved, and said, "I've been worried day and night for the past month or so."
Fortunately, the princess and the prince have returned safely.
As she spoke, her eyes grew even redder.
Beside her, a maid hurriedly said, "Madam, the sun is too strong. You are already in poor health, so it's not advisable for you to be in the sun for too long."
Danqing said helplessly, "Why are you being so delicate? I'm just sunbathing! Don't you dare tell the adults!"
The maidservant chuckled and withdrew.
Is your body heavy?
Yuan Yao's gaze traveled down Dan Qing's face and landed on her lower abdomen.
Upon closer inspection, she noticed that Danqing's lower abdomen was already slightly swollen.
Even Tangyuan walked over to Danqing and gently rubbed its fluffy head against Danqing's lower abdomen.
His icy blue eyes were filled with doubt and curiosity.
Danqing lowered her head and said with a smile, "Tangyuan, how come you've grown so much again?"
Yuan Yao stared wide-eyed for a long time before exclaiming in surprise, "Sister Danqing, you...you're pregnant again?!"
She's only been away from Beijing for a month and a half!
Unexpectedly, Danqing is pregnant with her second child!
Danqing's face gradually turned red, even her neck became red.
She said with a hint of annoyance, "It's all Zheng Kuo's fault that I'm like this!"
Is it Lord Zheng's fault?
Yuan Yao chuckled and said, "Lord Zheng, you are truly in the prime of your life!"
Danqing's face turned even redder, and she said with slight anger, "Yimo is still so young, and Yihe is busy with this year's palace examination."
He's shameless, he's made me so tired I don't even have the energy to take care of Yimo and Yihe!
"puff……"
Yuan Yao found it hilarious.
She looked at Danqing with a mocking smile: "If you really blame Lord Zheng, I'll have my father punish him after your child is born."
"What do you think? Let him be stationed at the border for three to five years, so you can have some peace and quiet, okay?"
Danqing: "..."
Danqing, supporting her lower back, said, "Well... let's forget about it. Yimo is still young..."
Yuan Yao almost burst out laughing.
She could see happiness on Danqing's face.
He was clearly enjoying himself, yet he blamed Lord Zheng.
Lord Zheng is so wronged!
Yuan Yao looked at Danqing's round, fair face and said with a smile, "I've heard that a woman becomes more beautiful when she's pregnant with a daughter."
I can tell you look much healthier than before I left Beijing, and your skin looks better too.
"This baby is definitely going to be a girl, right?"
"Really?" Danqing looked at Yuanyao with delight.
Yuan Yao blinked: "If you don't believe me, go ask Lord Zheng!"
Danqing blushed again: "I don't want to ask him! If I do, he'll definitely say I look good all the time..."
Yuan Yao felt like she'd been force-fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of
It is too sweet!
toothache!
Yuan Yao smiled and said, "Sister Danqing, now that you are pregnant, it is not convenient for you to go out for long."
Another day, I'll come to the Minister's residence to visit you and Yimo.
Danqing glanced at the sun and said gently, "Alright."
Danqing glanced at her reluctantly: "Then I'll head back to the manor first?"
"Go back!" Yuan Yao waved with a smile.
Danqing then boarded the carriage.
Soon, the carriage drove away from Golden Goblet Street.
Yuan Yao smiled and shook her head, preparing to return to the palace.
Just then, another carriage arrived and stopped not far from her.
Looking at the carriage, Tangyuan stood close to Yuanyao and made a low sound: "Aww..."
It is on alert.
At that moment, a slender, white hand reached out from the carriage.
Immediately afterwards, the carriage curtain was lifted, revealing a familiar face.
Yuan Yao paused for a moment, then asked, "Yun Chan?"
wrong!
He is not Yun Chan.
Yun Chan's hands were covered in wounds and calluses.
The person in front of me had hands that were white and delicate.
He is Yun Chan's stand-in!
