Hua Qingcheng, accompanied by her husband and six servants, chatted and laughed with two pairs of mothers and fathers, her younger brother and his wife, and enjoyed the scenery along the way. They sat in the carriage and moved forward slowly.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was already the morning of August 25th. After several days of bumpy carriage ride, Hua Qingcheng and his party finally arrived at Xuanyi Valley.
From afar, a white figure with white hair and a youthful face, a Taoist aura, stood at the entrance to the valley. The figure looked like an immortal descending to earth. Hua Qingcheng and the others immediately got off the carriage excitedly upon seeing this.
As soon as Xuanming saw Han Yichen, he quickly stepped forward and took his hand, his face full of joy and excitement. He said happily like a child, "Xiao Chenchen, I didn't expect you to be pregnant again! That's great! This time, you have to stay in the valley for a while longer."
Han Yichen gently stroked her belly, which had not yet shown any signs of pregnancy, raised her thin lips slightly, and nodded with a look of happiness on her face.
Upon hearing this, Hua Qingcheng turned her head and looked at Mu Lige. They smiled at each other. Then, she said to Xuanming with a smile, "Don't worry, Second Master. This time, we will definitely stay for a long time. As long as you don't bother us, that's all."
Xuanming was overjoyed when he heard this, and he couldn't stop smiling. He shook his head repeatedly to show that he would not be bored, and welcomed and looked forward to their permanent residence.
Yu Xiaotian asked doubtfully, "Your Majesty, didn't you tell His Royal Highness the Princess and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that we would return to the capital once the pregnancy was stable?"
As Yu Xiaotian finished speaking, everyone had different reactions:
Situ Ye held his forehead with his hand, trying hard to suppress his smile, and said nothing.
Han Yichen narrowed his narrow eyes, his eyes were as charming as silk, his thin lips were slightly raised, and he smiled with a wicked and charming look on his face.
Si Chengfeng fanned himself and smiled, still maintaining his elegant appearance.
Wu Chen couldn't help but give this naive guy a cold look and was too lazy to tell him the truth.
There was a rare crack on Zuo An's usually stern face. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything.
An intoxicating smile appeared on Hua Qingguo's handsome face, and he did not comment on Xiaotian's words.
"Brother, isn't it?"
Seeing that Hua Qingcheng did not answer, and his brothers and brother-in-law all looked at him with an expression that was difficult to describe, Yu Xiaotian then cast a puzzled look at Mu Lige again, his clear peach blossom eyes full of doubts.
Mu Lige glanced at Yu Xiaotian leisurely, then said slowly, "Xiaotian, that's the theory, but... plans can never keep up with changes! Do you... understand?"
Yu Xiaotian nodded, seemingly understanding. After all, wherever his wife was, that was his home. Being in Xuanyi Valley or in the capital city didn't make much difference to him.
Nalan Yunzhi, who saw through the situation but kept silent, smiled. She and her daughter had one thing in common: they both had excellent successors. Therefore, they could live their own lives for the rest of their lives, no longer confined to the golden "cage" of the imperial palace.
Hua Rongsheng and his wife Ye Maochun, who had just arrived at Xuanyi Valley, were amazed by the beauty and tranquility of this valley. They were particularly impressed by the vast fields of medicinal herbs planted there, which they found truly spectacular.
Ye Maochun couldn't help but admire: "Mother, it would be great if you could spend your old age here!"
"Who said it wasn't?" Hua Rongsheng nodded in agreement.
"Qingguo, if mom and dad want to live in Xuanyi Valley for a long time, why don't we settle here in the future?" Ye Ling'er looked at the beautiful Xuanyi Valley and was extremely satisfied.
Hua Qingguo glanced at Hua Rongsheng and Ye Maochun's wife and husband, then glanced at Hua Qingcheng, Mu Lige and others. After a little thought, he smiled and nodded to Ye Ling'er.
At this moment, Feng Lingyan slowly stepped down from the carriage. Duan Yunfei quickly stepped forward and asked with a flattering smile, "Second Young Master Feng, are you thirsty? I brought this especially for you. It's spring water from Pinglan Mountain in Huaqiao Village! Why don't you try it?"
As she spoke, she handed the kettle in her hand to Feng Lingyan.
However, before Duan Yunfei could finish his words, Gong Yang Jiezhen interrupted him, unwilling to be outdone, "Go away, go away! If Second Young Master Feng wants to drink, she should drink the fruit drink I carefully prepared for her!"
As she spoke, Gongyang Jiezhen immediately presented a pot of sweet and sour orange juice to Feng Lingyan, saying softly, "Second Young Master Feng, this is the orange juice I made myself. Please have a taste~"
Seeing how attentive the two were, Nalan Yunzhi's face instantly became extremely gloomy.
She glared at them with gritted teeth and angrily cursed, "Duan Yunfei, Gongyang Jiezhen, I've tolerated you two shameless fellows for a long time! It's fine that you just follow us around everywhere, but now you actually dare to set your sights on my man. This is simply outrageous!"
As his emotions became more and more excited, Nalan Yunzhi's chest began to heave violently.
Seeing this, Feng Lingyan could only shake her head helplessly, sigh softly, and then turned around without hesitation and walked into Xuanyi Valley.
Meanwhile, Nalan Zetian in the imperial palace in the capital had just finished her morning court session. This was her second time presiding over a morning court session as the regent princess.
And Su Muhongming, who temporarily took over his father's position, also stood in the center of the Golden Palace as the Prince of Zhaoyang.
In order to allow his mother to accompany his father and several uncles in Xuanyi Valley to recuperate, Nalan Zetian, with the support of his brother Su Muhongming, handled government affairs in an orderly manner and kept the court in good order.
While Nalan Zetian and Su Muhongming were governing the country for Hua Qingcheng and Mu Lige, they were secretly hoping that their mother, the empress, and their father, the queen, would return to Beijing as soon as possible.
