Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai became even more curious about what was going on and what good news could possibly be related to her. She quickly asked, "Third Sister, what good news do you have? Don't keep it from me, tell me quickly!"
Seeing that she was like this, Third Sister simply stopped keeping her in suspense and pulled out a letter from under the basket, still with a smiling face.
Seeing her like this, Xu Yuehuai's eyes lit up with joy. It must be Qi Guze, it must be Qi Guze's letter.
"This is the prince's letter, isn't it?" Xu Yuehuai rushed over immediately, eager to see the contents of the letter.
Third Sister originally intended to give her the letter, but seeing her like this, she thought she would tease her on purpose. She quickly held the letter high and teased her, "Weren't you indifferent to the Prince before? Why are you in such a hurry now? Could it be that you changed your mind after going to Mingyue?"
After being reminded by her, Xu Yuehuai realized that her reaction was a bit too much, and quickly said coquettishly, "Look at what you've learned from them, you're even starting to do bad things."
“Your Highness and Lord Pei are currently working hard in Mingyue to improve relations between the two countries, so naturally I’m eager to know what happens next.” She withdrew her hand and sat back down.
Seeing this, Third Sister quickly smiled and handed the letter to her: "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore, take a look."
Xu Yuehuai was incredibly excited, as if her heart had leaped out of her chest, as if she had already seen Qi Guze, whom she had been longing for day and night.
The situation in the Mingyue Kingdom was changing rapidly, and she was afraid that Qi Guze might encounter some accident. Fortunately, there was Jinshu.
[A-Yue: I am well. I wish to develop the animal husbandry industry in Mingyue, and form an alliance with the Central Plains by bartering fruits and vegetables. I wonder how you have been lately? I miss you dearly.]
Xu Yuehuai read the letter and learned that he was doing well, so she put the letter down. When she saw that he wanted to ask her how she was, she couldn't help but feel even happier, yet also a little shy.
"Well, what did the letter say?" Third Sister knew it must be good news since she hadn't said anything after reading the letter.
"He said he's doing well in the Underworld Moon Kingdom and is preparing to develop the cattle and sheep industry there so that we can form an alliance." Xu Yuehuai quickly stopped imagining and answered when he heard San Niang ask, but he didn't quite express his joy.
Later, realizing that Third Sister didn't understand, she said, "It means that the Mingyue Kingdom and the Central Plains are exchanging goods. They raise cattle and sheep while we grow vegetables and melons. Once this trade route is completed, the Central Plains and Mingyue will no longer be at war."
Third Sister was finally cleared up. Hearing that there would be no more war, she smiled knowingly: "So that's how it is. The Regent is really talented to come up with such a method. If we really don't have to fight anymore, then we'll have a good life."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"In that case, we must have a proper celebration tonight, for the Regent and for you." Third Sister was overjoyed and then prepared to cook.
Under Xu Yuehuai's guidance, she has become quite skilled at cooking these days. If anything happens, she won't necessarily have to rely on Xu Yuehuai. Besides, many people in Chang'an City also prefer Third Sister's cooking.
Xu Yuehuai was overjoyed. After thinking for a long time, she smiled and said, "I also want to write him a reply."
She muttered something under her breath and went back to find paper and pen to write.
As Xu Yuehuai read the letter Qi Guze had written, she wrote back to him, her words filled with longing.
They've been through so much together; it would be a lie to say they have no feelings for each other.
Xu Yuehuai replied happily, saying that things were going well in the capital. Then, thinking about the matter of the Duke of Zhenguo, she paused and didn't write anything. She wanted to wait until things were settled before continuing. Then she remembered Aqi's matter, which she needed to tell him.
[Your Highness: I am well in the capital, please do not worry. I have also discovered that Ah Qi may not be the real Crown Prince, and that he may be colluding with the Marquis of Ningyuan and the Underworld Moon. Since you are in the Underworld Moon, please be careful.]
After writing the letter, she was generally happy and went out to find Third Sister.
She was almost done preparing dinner, so Xu Yuehuai called over Anan: "Anan, go to the post station and mail this letter for me."
Seeing that Xu Yuehuai was so happy and had even sent a letter, Anan knew what was going on and, imitating San Niang, teased, "Manager Xu, is it for the Regent?"
"Huh?" Xu Yuehuai was taken aback at first.
How did he know before I even opened my mouth?
Then she saw that both Third Sister and Anan were secretly laughing, but she wasn't annoyed: "You're getting more and more ridiculous from Third Sister."
"I'm not joking, Manager Xu. When the Prince returns, will he marry you?" Anan asked sincerely.
Xu Yuehuai was stunned for a moment, then pinched his nose and said, "Children shouldn't worry about adult matters. Hurry up and deliver the message. If you come back late, Zhao Ping will have eaten all these good things."
Anan quickly stuck out his tongue and ran away.
After Anan went out, someone followed him.
Everyone enjoyed dinner that evening, and Xu Yuehuai was finally able to get a good night's sleep. Although the mystery of her origins had been troubling her for the past two days, the news of Qi Guze made her happier than anything else.
Perhaps because she had been exhausted for several days, or perhaps because she had finally settled down and slept soundly, Xu Yuehuai slept until the sun was high in the sky.
Everyone was genuinely happy to see her like this, so naturally they didn't bother her.
It was only early morning that someone from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion arrived.
The maid had already heard that Xu Yuehuai might be the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, so her attitude became more polite: "Hello, Third Madam. The flowers in my garden are in full bloom today. My mistress has specially invited Manager Xu to come and enjoy the flowers together. She probably won't be back until after dinner."
"This..." Third Sister hesitated for a moment.
Seeing this, the maid assumed they looked down on the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and immediately became arrogant: "Third Sister, please don't think our Duke of Zhenguo's mansion is too small. Many people want to climb up to our Duke's mansion, but they can't."
Seeing that the person was getting angry, Third Sister quickly smiled and said, "Miss, don't misunderstand, I'll go and call her right away."
Helpless, San Niang could only wake Xu Yuehuai up. Xu Yuehuai was still muttering in his sleep, as if he had returned to his own time.
"Ah Yue, wake up! The Duchess of Zhenguo has sent someone to invite you to admire the flowers." Third Sister knocked on the door and came in to call her.
Xu Yuehuai originally wanted to stay in bed, but upon hearing the words "Duke of Zhenguo," she instantly woke up. The Duchess of Zhenguo was inviting her to admire the flowers?
She sat up with a jolt, blinking her big, puzzled eyes as she tried to process what had just been said.
