In this way, Su Muyao opened shops and factories within three years, and most of the farmers near the capital became her employees.
This was the day Longyuan was returning to the capital in triumph, and Su Muyao was waiting at the city gate early in the morning.
I had promised Long Yuan that I would greet him at the city gate when he returned, and of course I had to keep my promise.
A group of people approached from afar, with a handsome young boy sitting on a tall horse at the head of the procession.
Su Muyao looked at the little boy she hadn't seen for several years, who had now grown into a handsome young man.
Although she is only 15, she looks to be at least 1.8 meters tall.
Xia Xia exclaimed excitedly from the side, "Little Princess, look how much more handsome His Highness the Crown Prince has become these past few years!"
Su Muyao nodded.
Just then, Long Yuan looked up and saw Su Muyao standing by the city gate.
Just then, he saw a beautiful young girl looking at him. Her baby fat was long gone, replaced by fair skin, a straight nose, and an exquisitely beautiful face full of gentleness.
A pair of peach blossom eyes gazed at him with such deep affection.
She wore a bright red long dress that accentuated her curvaceous figure.
In reality, Su Muyao's figure was far from curvaceous, but in Long Yuan's eyes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and he felt that the girl in front of him was like a fairy.
As Su Muyao talked to Xia, she glanced at the handsome man out of the corner of her eye as he slowly drove towards her amidst the cheers of the crowd.
If Su Muyao could hear the Crown Prince's true feelings, she would definitely call him a narcissist.
Just then, a woman next to Su Muyao shouted loudly, "Your Highness, look here!"
The Crown Prince was looking at Su Muyao, and the woman beside him thought that His Highness had feelings for her, otherwise he wouldn't keep staring at her.
Even the beautiful woman next to the girl thought so, after all, her daughter was one of the most beautiful women in the capital.
Not only that, she was also known as a talented woman in the capital.
Thinking of the Empress's promise to hold a banquet for His Highness the Crown Prince today, she was fortunate that her husband had just been promoted a few days ago.
Although this official position wasn't very high, it was just enough to qualify for attending the banquet.
Xia kept pouting, but what she was thinking was that the Empress had openly and secretly wanted the young princess to marry the Crown Prince as his principal wife more than once.
Moreover, His Highness the Crown Prince showed great concern for the young princess before he left, and over the years he has maintained correspondence with her, reading only her letters.
What's wrong with that woman next to me? She's really deluding herself.
Su Muyao thought the women's behavior was quite normal, after all, Long Yuan was the crown prince and had an exceptionally handsome appearance.
Most importantly, it's quite normal for someone who has repeatedly achieved military exploits to have many admirers.
Soon, Long Yuan rode his tall horse past Su Muyao and waved.
Su Muyao nodded as well.
Long Yuan then rode his tall horse further into the city, while the woman beside the girl looked at her daughter with suspicion.
"What's the story with Yu Rou? How do you know the Crown Prince?"
Yu Rou also looked puzzled. Although she was indeed beautiful, she had never seen anyone like her before.
But why would His Highness the Crown Prince stop in front of her and greet her? Could it be that her appearance has captivated His Highness the Crown Prince?
Looking around, there was a young girl and a maidservant, and further to the side were an old couple. To his right was the main road.
His Highness the Crown Prince was obviously greeting him; otherwise, why would he greet a girl who was only ten years old?
Next to the girl was a girl dressed as a teenage maid, but she looked quite ordinary.
If it weren't for the fact that she was wearing the finest fabric, she would probably be lost in a crowd.
"Princess, it's time for us to go."
Xia urged them on from the side, mainly because the Empress said she wanted to host a welcome banquet for His Highness the Crown Prince, so a special banquet was arranged.
Look at my little princess's simple and plain outfit. I'll have to dress her up again when we get back.
Especially considering that there isn't even a hair ornament on her head, it's understandable that she dresses simply on a daily basis.
No sooner had Su Muyao left than the lady beside her pulled her daughter back to the mansion.
Upon returning home, she saw her husband tidying up his official robes.
"Master, this is incredible! Our daughter has actually caught the eye of His Highness the Crown Prince."
The man addressed as "Master" widened his eyes: "What did you say?"
After saying that, he looked at his daughter and saw her shyly lower her head.
I've always known that my wife never speaks carelessly. Could it be true?
"Master, don't you believe me? I saw it with my own eyes. His Highness the Crown Prince walked up to our Yu Rou and waved his hand. There was no one else around!"
The maid next to Yu Rou nodded in agreement. "Yes, Master, His Highness the Crown Prince did wave to Miss and even smiled at her!"
Yu Rou gave her maid a reproachful look, then turned away angrily and went back to her room.
Upon hearing this, Lord Sun's eyes widened, and he froze on the spot. If what his wife said was true, wouldn't he be a member of the royal family in the future?
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince's father-in-law realized that he couldn't just sit there and not take a bite; he had to go and do his own makeup and dressing up, so as not to hold his daughter back.
Before leaving, he turned to his wife and said, "Go and pick out a nice outfit for Rou'er. Dress her properly so she can come with me to the banquet later."
Which mother doesn't love her child? Especially Rou'er, who is her first daughter.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
After Su Muyao returned to the manor, she was also subjected to all sorts of fussing by Xia Xia. She was constantly being made to try on this outfit or that outfit, almost to the point of trying on every single one of them.
In the end, Xia couldn't find anything that satisfied her.
Su Muyao chose one that she liked very much, both in terms of its pattern and style.
Xia felt that none of the clothes were quite right for her young lady.
In his eyes, his little princess was a perfect little person.
In the Imperial Garden of the palace, Li Yujia, relying on her mother's favor, acted arrogantly and domineeringly in the mansion.
Moreover, her mother often said that the Imperial Concubine was her aunt and that she would definitely recommend her to His Highness the Crown Prince in the future. Although she could not become the principal wife, she would be more than qualified to be a concubine.
Therefore, Li Yujia always believed that she was the only choice to be the Crown Princess.
Even if she couldn't become the Crown Princess because of her background, she could still be the Crown Prince's concubine.
With her captivating beauty, she believed that even if the Crown Prince had a principal wife in the future, she would have a way to step over the Crown Prince's principal wife to rise to power.
Hearing that the Crown Prince had returned today, I came early with my mother to pay my respects to my aunt, the Imperial Concubine.
From a distance, Li Yujia saw the Crown Prince passing through the Imperial Garden on his way to the East Palace. In a panic, she rushed towards the Crown Prince.
The prince dodged the affected woman in front of him with a quick movement, only to see her fall to the ground, accusing the young man with a wronged look in her eyes.
"Ouch, someone's sprained their ankle, could you help them up?"
Shadow One, standing next to Long Yuan, shuddered violently.
Li Yujia naturally saw it too, but she harbored resentment in her heart, thinking that she would make this guard pay when she became the mistress of the Crown Prince's residence.
