Started as a poor little girl

However, his perseverance is as hard as steel and indestructible.

At this time, Yue'er stepped out and prepared charcoal fire, just to dry the princess's wet hair.

Xiao Jinnian moved to Li Lulu's side and gently took the silk towel from her hand, holding it carefully as if it were a precious treasure.

His movements were gentle and delicate, as if he was wiping a unique work of art, afraid of causing even the slightest damage.

Li Lulu did not say anything. She quietly immersed herself in this pampering, like a well-behaved cat, enjoying Xiao Jinnian's service.

Xiao Jinnian carefully let Li Lulu lie on his lap, as if he was protecting a delicate flower.

He massaged her head attentively, his fingers dancing in her hair like light butterflies, bringing her waves of comfort.

This feeling of comfort was like a clear spring, flowing through Li Lulu's body, making her involuntarily indulge in it and gradually fall into a sweet dream.

The moon watched silently from the side, witnessing this heartwarming scene.

She left sensibly, like a petal falling quietly, unwilling to disturb the quiet beauty.

Seeing that Lulu had fallen asleep peacefully, Xiao Jinnian went to take a bath, feeling relieved, to wash away all his fatigue. It was as if he was bathing in the moonlight, washing away his tiredness of the whole day.

After taking a bath, he put on a loose white robe and walked gently to the bed.

Lulu lay quietly on its side, like a blooming flower, exuding charming fragrance.

He lay down quietly and carefully held Lulu in his arms, afraid of waking her up.

He gazed at Lulu's picturesque face, his eyes full of affection.

Leaning forward slightly, he placed a kiss on her lips as gently as if it were a treasure, as if the whole world had stopped for this moment.

Then, just like yesterday, he hugged Lu Lu tightly in his arms, feeling her warmth and softness.

Hugging Lulu, his heart became extremely peaceful, as if he had found the most precious treasure in the world.

At this moment, all the worries gradually faded away, leaving only endless love for Lulu.

He knew that no matter what difficulties and challenges he would encounter in the future, as long as Lulu was by his side, he would be able to face them bravely.

However, at the same time, in the distant country of Dongli, a conspiracy was quietly brewing.

The emperor was furious when he learned that his carefully planned plan to sow discord had ended in failure.

He gritted his teeth as he thought about countermeasures, and finally decided to start a war again.

After careful consideration, the emperor came up with a brilliant plan.

He planned to send Ouyang Qi to lead the army and asked him to take Li Zhenzhu with him to the battlefield.

In this way, at the critical moment, he can use Li Zhenzhu as a bargaining chip to threaten Wei Lingheng.

After all, Li Zhenzhu is Wei Lingheng's cousin. How could Wei Lingheng and the others just watch her die?

Thinking of this, the emperor felt secretly proud and a sly smile appeared on his face.

He believed that this plan would succeed, not only would it undermine the enemy's morale, but it would also allow him to regain control of the situation.

So he immediately ordered preparations for war, as a new storm was about to sweep in...

Time flies, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Xiao Jinnian carefully prepared for the return visit. Not only did he take care of the return gifts, he also arranged the details such as the items needed for the long journey and the guards.

He even sent someone to welcome Yue Xiangmei and Li Qingping to his house. After a sumptuous breakfast, they set off for Datan Village.

Mr. and Mrs. Li Qingping were really surprised when they received the news yesterday.

You know, the other party is a prince of noble status, while you are just an ordinary commoner. There is really no need to go to so much trouble.

At first, the couple did not have much good feelings towards Xiao Jinnian and always thought that he was forcing their daughter to marry him.

However, at this moment, they couldn't help but feel a little bit of goodwill in their hearts.

After all, seeing is believing, hearing is false. Our Lu Lu is a gentle, docile and considerate person.

Seeing how Xiao Jinnian cared for his daughter and did everything himself, even the usually taciturn Li Qingping couldn't help but nod in approval.

If these were all pretended, then they would not be able to hide from everyone's eyes.

Judging from various signs, it is obvious that Xiao Jinnian treats his daughter like this on a daily basis, and it is definitely not something that can be achieved through a temporary show.

Thinking of this, Li Qingping and his wife's attitude towards their son-in-law gradually changed.

After finishing breakfast, Xiao Jinnian gently picked up the handkerchief and wiped the residue from the corners of Lu Lu's mouth gently and delicately.

Lulu couldn't help but blush, after all, her parents were watching her!

At this time, Nanny Qin had already arranged all the complicated and trivial matters before departure, and walked into the dining hall to report to everyone:

"Your Majesty, Princess, Master Li, Madam Li, everything is ready and we can set off at any time."

Hearing this, Li Qingping and his wife seemed a little uneasy.

They are just plain farmers, how could they understand these etiquettes?

Just as he was about to salute in response, Xiao Jinnian, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, quickly supported him.

"Dad, Mom, please don't be so polite. We are a family now, there is no need to be so formal."

Xiao Jinnian's eyes were full of smiles, and his voice was as gentle as jade.

Li Lulu, who was standing by, also tightly held her mother Yue Xiangmei's arm and said with a sweet smile:

"Yes, Dad and Mom, please don't be so reserved in the future, otherwise it will make everyone feel unfamiliar."

Yue Xiangmei patted her daughter's hand gently to show her approval and said softly, "Okay."

Afterwards, the group slowly walked towards the door and boarded the magnificent carriage that had been waiting for a long time.

As the coachman waved the whip, the carriage started slowly, carrying the huge team out of the city gate and moving farther and farther away from the capital.

The wheels rolled, raising a cloud of dust, as if heralding the beginning of a new journey...

Xiao Jinnian took meticulous care of Li Lulu and her family along the way. He not only carefully prepared a variety of delicious food for them to enjoy, but also personally fed his beloved wife water.

During the journey, he thoughtfully massaged her feet to relieve her physical and mental fatigue.

All of this was watched silently by Li Lulu's parents, who felt a surge of warmth in their hearts. At the same time, their opinion of Xiao Jinnian also quietly changed.

Initially, Li Lulu's parents were dissatisfied with this marriage arrangement.

In their opinion, daughters should have the right to choose their ideal husband independently, rather than being forced to submit to a marriage without any emotional basis.

After all, in the Li family, there has never been a tradition of forcing children to get married, and both sons entered the marriage hall through free love.

But now, after witnessing Xiao Jinnian's loving and caring behavior towards Li Lulu.

Only then did they suddenly realize the sincerity, kindness and beauty in their son-in-law's heart.

After a whole month of sleeping in the open and traveling a long distance, everyone finally arrived at their destination - Datan Village.

The eldest brother and his wife and the second brother and his wife, who had been waiting for a long time, specially prepared a table of sumptuous food to welcome their relatives back.

The whole family sat together, chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was particularly harmonious and cheerful.

Li Lulu's family truly felt their daughter's joy and satisfaction, and this emotion made them admire Xiao Jinnian even more.

Li Dashan gently patted Xiao Jinnian on the shoulder and said affectionately:

"Xiao Xiao, you treat our Lulu with great care and consideration. As an elder, I am very pleased. I am very satisfied with you as my grandson-in-law!"

Xiao Jinnian raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a gentle smile and responded:

"Grandpa, Dad, Mom, and Big Brother and Second Brother, please rest assured.

I have a sincere heart for Lulu, and the world can bear witness to my love for her. I will do my best to take extra care of her and give her endless happiness and joy."

Yue Xiangmei also said with emotion: "Jinnian, you are not only a good son-in-law, but also a good husband who is conscientious and responsible.

From the beginning to the end, we have witnessed your meticulous love and care for Lulu. Now, my husband and I can finally rest assured."

After returning to Datan Village, Xiao Jinnian accompanied Li Lulu every day, running around busy, but he did not have the slightest airs of a prince.

Whether it is working in the fields or other farm work, it is no problem for him.

After all, he really couldn't bear to see his wife suffer!

Whenever he saw Lulu working hard in the fields, he would feel pity for her and insist on taking over the work himself.

Whenever he sees Lulu busy cutting grass for the chickens and ducks, he will take the initiative to help.

Sometimes, even the sight of a tiny green caterpillar would scare him so much that he would jump up, but even so, he would continue to do it without hesitation.
