After this bloody storm in Kyoto, the imperial palace also underwent a major purge.

These days, the streets of Kyoto are very quiet, and most of the shops on the streets are closed and deserted.

Early this morning, all the exiled people were escorted out of the city, and Kyoto finally returned to its former bustle.

Yunqingyuan, Prince Jing's Mansion

Chu Chenjing had been busy for many days and today he finally had some free time. He took a breath and had some time to accompany Ouyang Yunyao in the mansion.

For breakfast, Chu Chenjing asked the kitchen to prepare many of Ouyang Yunyao's favorite side dishes before Ouyang Yunyao woke up, including stewed cabbage, shredded chicken, braised pork, stir-fried cabbage, meat porridge, bird's nest, and small soup dumplings, waiting for Ouyang Yunyao to wake up.

When Ouyang Yunyao finished washing and walked out of the room, she saw the steaming breakfast that had just been served on the table. Chu Chenjing was sitting at the table waiting for her with a book in his hand.

Ouyang Yunyao was very confused when she saw Chu Chenjing, "Ah Jing, when did you come back? Are you done with your work?"

"I came back at night after finishing my work. I didn't disturb you because you were fast asleep. I can rest for two days and stay with you in the mansion. Yaoyao, please sit down and have dinner."

"Ah! What a rich meal! Did you ask the kitchen to prepare this?" Ouyang Yunyao said as she sat down.

"Well, I haven't been able to dine with you for a while." Chu Chenjing sighed, picking up dishes for Ouyang Yunyao while speaking, and waved his hand for Xiao Cui, Xia Fei and Chu Feng to go down.

Chu Feng: “…” Prince, you are so affectionate, can you consider the feelings of your subordinates?

……

After they had finished their meal, Chu Chenjing took Ouyang Yunyao to the pavilion beside the small lake in the courtyard, where a chess board, cakes and tea were set out.

Seeing this, Ouyang Yunyao teased, "A Jing, it looks like it's really a relaxing day."

"Yaoyao, let's relax today. We will be busy again in a few days. In another two days, we will send Chu Chenlan to the Southern Chu Kingdom for marriage."

"Are you going to deliver it this time?"

"Well, I don't know what's wrong with Nanchu Liang Haobo. On the one hand, he wants to marry Chen Lan, and on the other hand, he is gathering troops at the border. Let's see what agreement he has reached with the second brother."

"I've been thinking about it these past two days, and he came up with this idea just to use this excuse to lure you out of the city.

When the Southern Uncle was plotting a rebellion, if something happened to the Crown Prince and you were not in the city to save Father, he would have gone to rescue Father. If Father was poisoned, then they... would have been the ones waiting behind the scenes."

"Yaoyao, your analysis is correct. It is a really good plan, but what they didn't expect is that my eldest brother is fine, my father was not poisoned, and I did not leave the city."

"This caught them off guard."

"The second son is very regretful now and keeps explaining to his father."

"A Jing! I will go with you to the Southern Chu Kingdom this time."

"Yaoyao, I'm afraid it's not safe to go this time, so you can wait for me in the mansion, okay?"

"It's dangerous, that's why I'm going with you! I also want to visit the Southern Chu Kingdom."

"Okay then!" Chu Chenjing raised his head and looked at Ouyang Yunyao, his eyes full of tenderness.

The two were playing chess and chatting at the same time.

"I want to go tonight and look at the yard where I found the poppies growing that day."

"I have asked people to put that place under surveillance and found that the person living in this yard is Lai Gong. That Liu Qingxiu has also been there several times."

"Oh, it's theirs. It seems that Wanchunyuan is also related to them."

"Yes, I'm checking."

"Is this Lai Gong from Nanchu?"

"Not sure yet, let's go check it out tonight."

"it is good!"

……

The two are playing chess.

The butler led the prince, the princess and their two children, a family of four, in.

"Your Highness, Princess, Crown Prince, and Crown Princess are here." The butler shouted from afar.

"Greetings to the Crown Prince, elder brother and elder sister-in-law." Both of them bowed to the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess.

The servants in other courtyards also bowed.

"Third brother, third sister-in-law, you two are really interesting." The Crown Princess joked.

"Hello, Third Uncle, Hello, Third Aunt!" The prince's two children ran over and saluted sweetly to Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao.

The prince's two children, the five-year-old boy Chu Yunxuan and the three-year-old sister Chu Yunhuan, are both the children of the crown princess.

Ouyang Yunyao had met them several times and liked them very much. The two children were cute and pretty. The little boy acted like an older brother, with a serious face that was particularly cute. The two children's eyes lit up when they saw Ouyang Yunyao.

"Xuanxuan, Huanhuan, Third Aunt is so happy that you are here." Ouyang Yunyao said while rubbing their little faces.

"Third Aunt Huanhuan misses you so much." The little girl said in a soft voice.

"Brother, why are you here? Why didn't you say hello?" Chu Chenjing couldn't understand why he didn't stay at home to rest after finishing his work?

"Third brother, third sister-in-law, sorry to bother you today. Xuanxuan and Huanhuan missed your third sister-in-law and insisted on coming."

"Hahaha, Xuanxuan, Huanhuan, you guys are not missing Third Aunt! You are missing her delicious food, right?"

"No! Xuanxuan just misses his third aunt." The little boy said seriously.

Ouyang Yunyao recalled the day when Prince Guannan rebelled. For the safety of the Queen and the Crown Prince's children, she placed the Queen, Concubine Rong, Concubine Rou, the Crown Princess and her children in the medical station in the space. In the lounge of her own three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment, she set it up so that they could only stay in this room. They could neither see nor go to other places in the space.

Ouyang Yunyao only told them that this was a Qiankun bag given to her by a magical old man. They believed it very much and were very envious.

That day she put a lot of snacks in it, including various nuts, candies, chocolates, etc., as well as fruits and various drinks, and all kinds of novel toys for children to play with.

The two children were so happy to see the food and toys they had never seen before that they didn’t want to come out.

"Okay, okay! Xuanxuan misses Auntie San. You wait, Auntie San will bring you something delicious to eat."

"Huanhuan also misses Third Aunt. Huanhuan likes Third Aunt the most." The little girl hugged Ouyang Yunyao's legs tightly.

"Okay, Third Aunt also likes Huanhuan." Ouyang Yunyao picked up Chu Yunhuan.

Then Ouyang Yunyao took out a lot of toys from the space, including models of airplanes, cannons, tanks, cars, and ships.

The toys she has here are these models and some intellectual toys like the Rubik's Cube. She also has a few boxes of puzzles in her room, which she prepares to play when she has nothing to do.

She also brought out a lot of food and several drinks.

When the two children saw these, they let go of the adults and just played and ate.

The prince had never seen these drinks before. He looked at the various bottles of drinks on the table and felt very curious.

How come these are so exquisite? There is also colorful water inside, which is so beautiful.

He picked it up and looked left and right, but couldn't understand it. "Third sister-in-law, what are these made of?"

"This one is made of glass, and this one is made of plastic." Ouyang Yunyao explained while holding up one beverage bottle after another.

"Is this the Qiankun bag that the magical old man gave you?"

"Yes."

"I wonder where this magical old man is from? There are such good things there."

"He said he came from the other side of the sea." Ouyang Yunyao said nonsense, thinking about it, she really did come from the other side of the sea.

"Is there a continent on the other side of the sea? Are there any countries?" asked the Crown Princess.

"There must be. Those pirates must be from there. I just wonder how far they are from our Yuzhou Continent?" The prince said to the princess.
