The little Fubao in the deserted village made all the dignitaries in the court go crazy with envy

A carriage took advantage of the night and sent the woman back home safely.

It was late at night and the whole town was shrouded in darkness.

The carriage stopped in front of Zeng's house.

Zeng Ruyu got off the carriage and stood quietly beside it for a moment. Finally, she couldn't help but ask the young man driving the carriage.

"If I force you to marry me tonight, what will you do?"

Before Lin Jiang opened his mouth to answer, the woman's voice in the car sounded first, "Girl, a forced melon is not sweet. You are beautiful and capable of managing a household. As long as you behave yourself after marriage, you will definitely get what belongs to you. The past is gone, so why not cherish the one in front of you. There are too many things that cannot be achieved in life, and only by being content can you be happy."

The carriage turned around, and Lin Jiang looked at the woman who was still standing there in a daze, and said, "I do everything I want to do. If I don't want to, no one can force me to do it."

The Lin family is kind, but also stubborn.

Never do anything unclear and never suffer any injustice.

The sound of horse hooves soon faded into the night.

Zeng Ruyu stood there for a long time before going into the house in a daze.

After this farewell, we will never see each other again.

After leaving the town, Xu Enhui simply lay down on the chair and dominated the world.

"She came here in the middle of the night with an intention. She probably wanted to be seen by others, so that you can't wash yourself clean even if you jump into the river. You are so kind that you sent her home and protected her reputation, fearing that she would be criticized. Tsk, I don't know whether to say you are kind-hearted or a pushover." Her eyelids were shaky and she tried to find some random topic to talk about.

Zeng Ruyu shamelessly came forward to show her weakness, and even made it clear that she was only waiting for Lin Jiang to say a word, and then she would break off the engagement and not marry.

If Lin Jiang had wavered even a little, the outcome would have been different.

Outside the car curtain, a man's gentle voice floated in, "The world is especially harsh on women. It's already hard for women to survive, why bother making things difficult at the last minute? You also said that the past is over, and in the future, just be happy on your own."

Xu Enhui opened his eyes, tilted his head, looked at the man's back through the car curtain, and the corners of his lips curled up a little.

Being open and honest, standing tall and upright, is nothing more than this.

"Watch the road carefully and don't drive the carriage into the ditch. It doesn't matter if I fall, but I'm afraid my grandfather will spit all over you tomorrow and humiliate you."

When the man spoke again, his voice was filled with a smile, "Okay."

After a feast, the sun rises.

The villagers of Yuxi Village quickly returned to their normal daily lives.

Working in the fields and coming home to eat, this is their life.

Ordinary and down-to-earth.

The prince lived in the village, so after Cui Jing delivered the imperial edict, he naturally did not go anywhere else and settled down in the Yan family yard.

After waking up and tidying up my appearance, I went to the study to pay my respects.

He slapped himself all the way to the study. The wine in Yuxi Village was too fragrant, and there was an old man named Xu who was trying to get him to drink as if in revenge.

The father-in-law got drunk and for the first time in his life he got up later than his master.

"Your Highness has lived here for more than a year. Although the Emperor and the Empress have never urged you to return, they miss you very much every day. Now that Your Highness is in good health and his whereabouts have been revealed, it is time for you to return to the palace." After paying homage, Cui Jing tentatively brought up business.

This time, in addition to delivering the imperial edict, he also received an order from the emperor, which was to bring the crown prince back to the capital. Otherwise, there would be no need to mobilize five hundred Yulin guards.

Hearing what he said, Madam Du was moved.

Life in Yuxi Village was peaceful and comfortable, so she naturally liked it here.

But she also wanted to go back to the palace.

She served the queen when she was still a little baby. Although they were master and servant in name, the nanny treated the queen as her own daughter and loved her dearly.

It's been over a year since we last saw each other. How could I not be worried about you?

The Empress was used to having her serve her, and she didn't know whether the new person around her was useful in the past year or so.

Moreover, His Highness will inherit the throne in the future, so he should return to Beijing to build up his own network of contacts. It is impossible for him to stay in the countryside forever.

Yan Changqing tilted his head. Next to the desk was a west window, and sunlight was already pouring in.

On the other side of the window, at the end of the bluestone path, is the hanging flower gate leading to the front yard.

When his friends came to see him, they came from that place, swaggering, laughing, and being innocent and carefree.

"Mammy, let's have a small banquet at noon and invite Baixiang, Xiaosong, Xiaobai, Duobao, and the children in the village... We must say goodbye properly."

"Okay, I'll prepare it right away. I know what the kids like to eat!"

Nanny Du was delighted and immediately turned to the kitchen. When she reached the door, she remembered something and smiled as she reminded him, "Your Highness, but the children may not be willing to come. Duobao said angrily last night that she would ignore you in the future. Only Baixiang insisted that 'Your Highness' was a nickname, and calling him the Crown Prince was another matter. But she was also angry, and she didn't come to look for delicious food today."

"..." Yan Changqing said awkwardly, coughed to clear his throat, and stood up, "I'll go and invite them."

An old man who had strolled over from outside the door at some point snorted coldly through the window, "It's nice to say you're invited, you're good at flattering yourself, but you're obviously going there to apologize and coax people."

Yan Changqing again, "..."

This time, sir, I am holding a grudge.

I'm afraid it will take a very long time for me to calm down.

Yan Changqing stood up and bowed respectfully, not wanting to offend the teacher in the slightest.

Last night, the gentleman was holding a jar of wine in the bamboo pavilion and cursing the moon. He kept cursing until the moon hid in the clouds and fell into a deep sleep.

My voice is still hoarse when I speak now.

Xu Hanzhang also found that his voice was hoarse, his old face became darker, and he squinted at people with his hands in his pockets, "Hmph!"

Everyone retreated, not daring to fight him.

In the Lin family yard, Bai Xiang had stayed in bed all morning. He just got up and squatted under the eaves of the kitchen to rinse his mouth.

"No~"

"No time no time~"

A strange sound came from outside the door.

Bai Xiang turned his head while gargling his mouth and saw a hand stretched out from the door frame of his yard, waving, and the sky-blue brocade sleeves swayed in the air with the movement.

The hand was still twisting a piece of dragon beard candy between two fingers.

In a moment, the handsome face of the young man poked out of the door frame, his eyes curved, and he spoke in a whisper, "Bai Xiang, do you want some dragon beard candy?"

Bai Xiang wanted to laugh, and almost swallowed the water in her mouth, so she quickly spat it out.

The boy over there has already changed the things in his hands. The dragon beard candy has turned into Ruyi cake, then into stuffed dates, chestnuts, pineapple cakes...

Bai Xiang's saliva was overflowing, and he tried hard to swallow, "..."

She put down the water scoop, ran to the door frame, raised her little head and looked into the boy's eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, brother, why don't you come in? Why are you whispering? Do you have another secret to tell me? Give me the food first!"

The girl said that she didn't need the boy to give it to her and reached into his sleeve pocket skillfully.

Yan Changqing's eyes became more crooked, and he let the little girl take out the food, all of which were brought for her, "Come in later, otherwise the elders may be uncomfortable. ...Are you angry with me?"

"I was angry yesterday, so I'm not angry today!" There are so many delicious foods, so many! Oh my, I can't finish them all!

Bai Xiang was so happy that he was flying, he didn't even remember to be angry.

The adults in the Lin family poked their heads out to take a look and then retracted them, smiling as they continued to busy themselves in the main room and the kitchen, fulfilling the prince's wish of coaxing the baby.
