"Although it's spring, the weather is still a little chilly. I'll ask the kitchen to prepare some of your favorite dishes for you. How about you dine with me in the mansion tonight?" Hua Yuxing cordially took Hua Xin into the tea room and gently touched the teapot. "Oh, this pot of tea was prepared for me before, and it's cold now. I'll ask the housekeeper to make you another pot."

"Dad, I just want to drink some warm water, no need to make tea." Hua Xin reminded her father with a smile.

Hua Yuxing nodded and looked at the butler at this moment.

Without Hua Yuxing saying anything, the butler understood and said, "I'll go prepare some warm water. The young lady and the master can chat first." After saying that, he left quickly, his steps as brisk as when he was young.

"Hahaha, you see, after you came back, your Uncle Li was happier than me! He just forgot how old he is. What if he falls?" Hua Yuxing was worried that the butler would be too excited and fall. After all, he was not young anymore.

"Dad, you and Uncle Li are not that old. Don't always think that you are old. In my eyes, you are still young!"

It is true. As the saying goes, men are in their prime at 41, and Hua Yuxing and Steward Li are two flowers in full bloom.

Of course Hua Xin would not say these words out loud.

Hua Yuxing was very happy to hear this, "You are just treating me like a child."

"That only works if Dad is willing to be coaxed by me!"

Hua Yuxing looked at Hua Xin in surprise and said with emotion: "Your mouth has become sweeter after this trip? Did Xuan'er coax you along the way?"

Hua Xin saw that Hua Yuxing was teasing her, but his words were implicitly trying to find out about Hua Moxuan, so she just told him about her experiences along the way.

Of course I won’t talk about the bad things, I’ll just talk about the good things.

Even so, Hua Moxuan still felt it was extremely dangerous.

"You, little girl, barged into someone's palace so brazenly. Aren't you afraid of being mistaken for an assassin?"

Hua Xin comforted him, "Dad, I'm fine in front of you now, right? I told you that my brother is fine, but you asked me to say it. Now that I've said it, you're worried again. Why?"

Hua Yuxing stroked his beard, thinking that it was still his fault?

But he also knew that his child was capable.

"There is one thing you need to know."

Seeing Hua Yuxing suddenly become serious, Hua Xin couldn't help but sit up straight, "Dad, what's the matter?"

"Xin'er, Xuan'er has regained his identity. On the day when the emperor issued the decree, he also announced the obituary of Hua Moxuan's heroic sacrifice. He was rewarded with a lot of things, which I left in his room. If he is free in private, let him come to the mansion and take all the things away!"

After Hua Yuxing finished speaking, Hua Xin shook her head and said, "Dad, the princess's mansion has enough food and clothing, so you can keep this money!"

"If it doesn't work, I'll add it to your dowry. It's all for you guys anyway, and I won't need much. I'll even stay at your place occasionally, so you don't have to worry about my problems."

"Stay for a while? Dad, why don't you stay in the princess's mansion for a long time? Maybe in the future, you will be needed to help take care of the grandchildren, and you will spend less time running back and forth. Don't you think so?"

Hua Xin looked at Hua Yuxing expectantly, with a cunning gleam in her eyes.

Hua Yuxing was ready to refuse after hearing the first half of the sentence, but the second half made him hesitate. He thought to himself that it would be a happy thing if he could see his lovely grandchildren often.

"Grandson? Granddaughter? Could it be..." Hua Yuxing's voice trembled a little, as if he had guessed something.

"Hey, don't be excited, don't be excited, Dad, you must not be excited." Hua Xin hurriedly grabbed Hua Yuxing's hand, fearing that he would have an accident due to being too excited.

"Then, then just tell me whether you have it or not?" Hua Yuxing asked impatiently.

"No!" Hua Xin answered firmly.

Hua Yuxing suddenly became like a deflated ball, completely listless.

"Why would you say these things without me? I'm so happy for nothing."

"Not yet!" Hua Xin blinked mischievously and added.

"What does 'not yet' mean?" Hua Yuxing asked puzzledly.

"After all, I'm going to marry the eldest prince of Western Liao soon. Wouldn't it be a bad thing to announce that I'm pregnant at this time?" Hua Xin explained.

Hua Yuxing finally understood: "So you plan to have your first child with Xuan'er?"

The housekeeper came back at this time and saw the two of them staring at each other as if they were playing a riddle.

"Miss, the warm water you requested."

"Thank you, Uncle Li."

Hua Xin took it with a smile and quickly took a sip.

"Uncle Li, you should accompany my father to live in the princess's mansion in a while!"

"What? No, no, no, I'd better stay at the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

The housekeeper was excited and very grateful to Hua Xin.

"My father needs someone to be with him! Just send someone to guard here, and you should go with my father to enjoy the good life. Isn't Uncle Zhang in my house the housekeeper you found? You can just take this as an exam to see if he is doing a good job."

The housekeeper subconsciously looked at Hua Yuxing, and seeing that he nodded, he hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you for your consideration, Miss. This old servant would like to thank you."

Just then, the doorman came to report that the two princes-in-law, Ye Lansheng and Nangong Ziqiu, had come to the door and said they were here to have dinner with Hua Yuxing.

Hua Xin and Hua Yuxing looked at each other.

"Dad, you called him?"

"No, I was surprised that you came back, so why would you call them in advance? I guess they got the news!"

After Ye Lansheng received the wedding party from Western Liao, he took them directly to the posthouse and then rushed over without stopping.

And Nangong Ziqiu was in the wedding procession, how could she not know?

It was a pity for the others. Not only did they not get to see Hua Xin, but they also had no part in the reunion dinner today.

According to Ye Lansheng and Nangong Ziqiu, Hua Xin would definitely return to the princess's mansion to reunite with them, so they let them go back first.

Now that the two of them came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, they were naturally here to pick someone up.

But she came at dinner time, and the excuse was to have dinner with Hua Yuxing, so should she hide?

"Dad, why don't I hide?"

Hua Xin thought so and asked.

Hua Yuxing coughed dryly and said with a smile: "Don't scare them, just sit still!"

After a while, Ye Lansheng and Nangong Ziqiu came together. When they saw Hua Xin, their eyes lit up.

If Hua Yuxing hadn't coughed to indicate that he was still present, these two would probably have their eyes on Hua Xin!

"Greetings to my father-in-law."

The two of them spoke in unison, as if they had rehearsed it.

"It's rare that you all come together, so please sit down and have a cup of tea! As for dinner, the kitchen is already preparing it."
