Started as a poor little girl

Wei Lingheng did not talk about any key issues, but just chatted about trivial things.

They spoke freely about a wide range of topics, from the unpredictable weather to trivial family matters.

From the heavy work pressure to the ordinary daily details, every topic is filled with ease and joy.

Xiao Jinnian thought Wei Lingheng would ask about something related to Lulu, but surprisingly, he didn't mention a word about Li Lulu.

Xiao Jinnian couldn't help but feel surprised. He thought Wei Lingheng would be concerned about Li Lulu's recent situation and might even ask him to return Li Lulu.

However, Wei Lingheng seemed to have no interest in her.

After the chat, the two returned to their respective residences. Xiao Jinnian specially escorted Wei Lingheng to the Wei residence.

After watching him get off the car, he walked into the mansion gracefully without showing any sign of abnormality.

Xiao Jinnian sat alone in the carriage, lost in thought, pondering the reasons behind Wei Lingheng's actions today. What exactly did he want to do?

Once upon a time, they were as close as brothers, but now their friendship is drifting apart because of Lulu.

In fact, Xiao Jinnian didn’t care about this. After all, he had already got the Lu Lu he had always dreamed of, and everything else became insignificant.

Among his best friends is the honest and lovely An Yi! He will never betray him.

At this moment in Prince Jin's Mansion, although Li Lulu has become a high-ranking princess, she still maintains the good habit of being self-reliant.

She looked up at the sun and figured it was time to prepare dinner, so she walked into the kitchen herself, ready to show off her cooking skills.

As soon as she stepped into the kitchen, the kitchen maids and cooks were terrified and knelt down and kowtowed, "Greetings, Princess."

"Everyone, get up! Go about your own business." Li Lulu was still not used to her new identity. Now people kneeled down when they saw her, which was really unbearable for her.

She likes to cook a delicious meal for herself because in this era, she can't make the taste she remembers.

"The princess and the prince have a very close relationship, which is really enviable." Yue'er looked at the princess with a smile on her face.

The cook and the chef also echoed: "Yes! The princess and the prince are simply a couple from heaven."

Nanny Qin looked at Li Lulu with a smile on her face and nodded repeatedly with satisfaction.

Nanny Qin was the personal maid of the late Queen, the Empress Dowager, and was deeply respected by the Emperor and Prince Jin.

As the sun sets, its afterglow shines on the earth, giving the whole world a golden hue.

Xiao Jinnian hurried back to his mansion, thinking about his wife.

As soon as he entered the palace, he looked everywhere for his beloved wife.

After asking the housekeeper, I learned that the princess was busy in the kitchen.

Xiao Jinnian couldn't wait to stride towards the kitchen. As soon as he reached the door, he saw Li Lulu busy in front of the stove.

He walked up to her quietly and hugged her gently from behind.

At that moment, he felt the warmth and deep love coming from her.

Even if this was just a beautiful fantasy, he was satisfied.

After hugging each other for a moment, the two sat down at the table together and began to prepare dinner.

Xiao Jin picked up the kitchen knife with familiarity and started cutting the vegetables with skill.

Today, his knife skills are so superb that people can't help but admire him.

Li Lulu was in charge of cooking, while Yue'er and Nanny Qin helped her.

The princess and Prince Jin worked together perfectly, like a pair of dancers with perfect rapport, and every movement was so natural and smooth.

While making dinner, they talked and laughed, discussing the trivialities of life.

Laughter and joy echoed throughout the kitchen, making the already warm atmosphere even more harmonious.

At this moment, Li Lulu seemed to have forgotten all her worries and troubles, and was completely immersed in this happiness and warmth.

In this kitchen full of the smell of smoke, they rediscovered the deep understanding between each other and the warmth of home.

After a busy period, the sumptuous dinner was finally served on the table.

The two sat side by side, savoring the delicious food that they had prepared together.

Every dish not only satisfies the taste buds, but is also full of endless affection and warmth.

As Xiao Jinnian chewed the food in his mouth, he seemed to be able to feel the deep love blending into it, making their hearts even more closely connected.

At this moment he felt extremely happy. This sweet life after the wedding was really intoxicating.

After dinner, the two moved to the courtyard, sat on the stone benches, and chatted and laughed.

However, Lulu did not ask him why he went out today, which made Xiao Jinnian feel a little disappointed.

Didn't she care about her whereabouts? Just as his thoughts were racing, a jade hand gently waved before his eyes.

"Brother Jinnian, are you exhausted? I called you several times but there was no response. Are you feeling unwell?"

Li Lulu looked worried and reached out her hand to touch his forehead.

Xiao Jinnian held Lulu's little hand tightly, grinning foolishly, thinking to himself that he had indeed been worrying too much.

Lulu cares about him so much, how could she be indifferent?

"It's okay, I just suddenly remembered some trivial things and got distracted for a moment." Xiao Jinnian explained softly.

Li Lulu nodded slightly to show her understanding: "Oh! That's good that nothing happened." Her eyes were as gentle as water, full of concern.

In any case, even if her feelings for him were not love, there must be an element of family affection in it!

After all, Li Lulu always regarded Xiao Jinnian as her own brother, and he was indeed a very outstanding brother.

However, if she wants to regard him as her husband, it will probably take some time to slowly adapt to this new role.

"Oh, by the way, Lulu, the day to return to our parents' home is in three days, let's take our parents back to Datan Village together!

This way, I can go back home to visit my eldest brother, second brother, grandfather, and my lovely nieces and nephews."

Xiao Jinnian believed that the so-called return visit should mean going to Lulu's home in the real sense, rather than going to the palace villa.

Li Lulu was very happy to hear this proposal, but she also had some concerns.

Because I have never heard of going to such a faraway place to return home, and Brother Jinnian is a prince, so is it appropriate to do so?

"Brother Jinnian, the journey is too long. Will it be..." Li Lulu was interrupted before she could finish her words.

"It's okay. Since we are returning home, we should return to our real home, right? Although I married you, I didn't confine you here. We can stay at home for a while longer."

Xiao Jinnian hoped that Lulu could stay in her hometown for a while longer so that she would be in a happier mood.

Li Lulu nodded slightly and said, "Okay, then I'll stay a little longer."

Xiao Jinnian slowly loosened his grip on Lulu's hand and whispered softly, "It's getting late, my beloved, please take a bath and rest early."

"Yes, Princess. I will arrange it right away." Yue'er was standing not far away. When she heard that the princess was going to take a bath, she hurriedly turned around to prepare.

Soon, everything was ready. Yue'er came to summon the princess to go to the bathroom, while Xiao Jinnian stayed in the yard, standing like a sculpture.

After she left, Xiao Jinnian's sharp eyes like a hawk swept over the guards and ordered coldly: "Hurry up and prepare the staff and carriage for the return in two days."

"Yes, sir!" After receiving the order, the subordinates left like the wind to do their work.

"Madame Qin, you are the backbone of the mansion and have rich experience. Please help me prepare the items for the return visit."

Xiao Jinnian turned his head to look at Nanny Qin who was waiting quietly on the side, and his voice was as sweet as a clear spring.

Xiao Jinnian confidently handed over many affairs of the mansion to Nanny Qin.

After making all the arrangements, he returned to his room like a graceful gentleman. What caught his eyes was Li Lulu, who was as pretty as a lotus emerging from water. Her skin was as delicate as snow, and her eyes were as bright as stars, which made his heart beat faster.

Her inky black hair fell behind her like a waterfall, and her white veil clung to her body. Her beautiful back, as white and delicate as the first snow, was faintly visible in the mist, revealing her perfect curves.

Xiao Jinnian swallowed his saliva inadvertently. His eyes were a little dazed, and he looked at her straight as if attracted by a magnet.
