I am Yuan Niaoniao

"Niao Niao, wake up, Niao Niao." Chen Shaoyi called softly to the person who was still sleeping in his arms.

Yuan Niao Niao rubbed her eyes, frowned, opened her eyes, and looked at Chen Shaoyi: "What's the matter?"

"It's getting late, you should get up, wash up, and prepare to go home." After saying this, Chen Shaoyi kissed Yuan Niaoniao's red lips again. He looked at Yuan Niaoniao lovingly, as if he could never kiss her enough.

"Okay, stop playing around." Yuan Niaoniao gently pinched Chen Shaoyi's handsome cheek and pushed it aside, then slowly stood up and rubbed her limbs that were a little sore and swollen from maintaining the same posture for a long time. "What's going on? Are you feeling unwell?"

Seeing this scene, Chen Shaoyi asked anxiously, and quickly reached out to help Yuan Niao Niao massage her feet to relieve fatigue.

"Hmph! It's all your fault. Things will get better if we sleep separately for a few nights." Yuan Niao Niao's face turned red with embarrassment, and she tapped Chen Shaoyi's strong chest with her fist coquettishly.

After understanding the reason, Chen Shaoyi blushed, but pretended to be calm and got off the bed and said, "Then change your clothes quickly, so as not to keep your mother-in-law waiting for a long time." After that, he turned around to get clothes and handed them to Yuan Niaoniao. After Yuan Niaoniao put on her underwear, he opened the door and called Dongxue to help Yuan Niaoniao dress up. He got up first and asked the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

"Princess, you are ready to dress up." Dongxue skillfully put Yuan Niaoniao's black and shiny hair up, then carefully picked up a delicately made kingfisher crown and gently put it on her high bun. Then, she took out two hairpins inlaid with round pearls from her dressing box and inserted them on both sides of her bun, making her look more noble and elegant.

After finishing all this, Dongxue helped Yuan Niaoniao out of the room. At this time, Yuan Niaoniao was wearing a gorgeous palace dress embroidered with delicate patterns. This dress not only showed her noble status as a princess, but also revealed an indescribable beauty and majesty.

When she arrived at the yard, Dongxue saw Chen Shaoyi standing there waiting, so she called to him softly, "Your Majesty, the princess is ready and can leave."

Hearing the voice, Chen Shaoyi turned around and looked at Yuan Niao Niao with love. He stepped forward and took Yuan Niao Niao's hand, saying, "Niao Niao, let's go greet our father and mother first. Then we'll set off back to Yuan Mansion."

"Okay." Yuan Niaoniao nodded slightly. She was wearing formal clothes and had to be careful not to lose her manners at all times. She still couldn't get used to it for a while.

"Father, Mother, please have some tea." Niao Niao stepped forward to pour tea for Chen Yuheng and Mu Liuli. Then she bowed and stood beside Chen Shaoyi.

"Okay, mother knows you've been well behaved. It's getting late, go back quickly and don't waste time." Mu Liuli was very satisfied with her daughter-in-law. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her. She looked at her son and said, "Shao Yi, hurry up and go back with Niao Niao first."

"Okay, your daughter-in-law will take her leave first." Yuan Niao Niao nodded and was led by Chen Shaoyi to leave and get on the carriage back to Yuan Mansion.

When I got off the carriage, I saw Yuan Xixi waiting at the door.

"Sister!" From a distance, she saw the carriage of Prince Chen's Mansion coming towards them. When she saw Yuan Niao Niao getting off the carriage, she excitedly shouted, "Brother-in-law!"

Chen Shaoyi smiled and nodded to his childlike sister-in-law.

"You are still so impulsive, like a girl." Yuan Niaoniao pinched Yuan Xixi who threw herself into her arms.

"My sister was taken away by the prince, leaving Xixi alone at home. Xixi is so lonely!" Yuan Xixi hugged Niao Niao tightly. After all, she had a good relationship with Niao Niao since she was a child. Now she is the only one left in the mansion, so she can't help feeling lonely. "Oh, by the way, come in quickly, look who's here." As soon as she said that, she pulled Yuan Niao Niao inside.

"Cousin." Sun Jinzhi stood up happily when he saw Yuan Niao Niao coming in, and then changed the topic: "Sun Jinzhi greets His Royal Highness Prince Chen and Princess Chen."

"Jinzhi! We are all family, no need to be polite!" Yuan Niaoniao was also surprised to see Sun Jinzhi. "You are back! Time flies, a year has passed in a flash." Looking around, Yuan Yunfei was not there. "Where is my aunt?"

"My mother went to Jingzhou with my father. Yesterday, the emperor suddenly issued an order that my father had to take up the post of Jingzhou prefect. He left in a hurry and didn't have time to come and say goodbye. He asked me to come and tell grandpa!" Sun Jinzhi said with anger in his eyes. "It must be because of my return!"

"It's none of your business, don't blame yourself." Han Junwu came for the Yuan family. The marriage between the Yuan family and the Prince Chen's Mansion was a fact, and there would definitely be more targeting and conspiracy. But I didn't expect him to act so quickly. He transferred both the aunt and the son-in-law away. He picked the weak ones.

"Niao Niao, you're back." Yuan Wuhe's voice rang out, "Prince Chen is here too, please take a seat quickly."

"Just call me Shaoyi, grandpa." Chen Shaoyi also imitated Yuan Niao Niao's awkward manner and called out.

"Haha, how could I be so worthy as to have Prince Chen as my grandson!" Yuan Wuhe laughed when he heard this. Niao Niao really had a sharp eye and chose a good husband.

"If you don't admit it, then I will!" Chu Rong also followed out.

“Medicine Master” Chen Shaoyi bowed slightly towards Chu Rong respectfully.

"Just call me Master like the little girl." Chu Rong said with a smile: "It would be a waste if we don't take advantage of this opportunity!"

"Master!" Yuan Niaoniao shook her head with amusement. This master is just a naughty old man.

"Okay, Shaoyi, from now on, follow Niao Niao and call me master."

"Hahahaha" everyone burst into laughter.

After Bai Yue'e drank the tea offered by Chen Shaoyi and Yuan Niao Niao, they started another casual chat about family matters.

"In the future, come back to Yuan Mansion more often." Bai Yue'e said reluctantly while patting the back of Yuan Niao Niao's hand. Although she wanted to see her daughter get married, she felt reluctant to let her daughter go when she really got married.

"Madam Yuan, don't worry, I will bring Niao Niao back on time." Chen Shaoyi said as he put down the teacup in his hand.

Bai Yue'e nodded with satisfaction when she heard this. She felt relieved to have such a son-in-law. "Go home after lunch."

"Okay." Yuan Niaoniao and Chen Shaoyi nodded at the same time.

Liu Chen Shaoyi chatted with everyone, while Yuan Niao Niao took Sun Jinzhi for a walk in the yard: "Jinzhi, you should have trained in Jinluan Valley for two years. It's only been more than a year now, why are you back?"

"It was the Valley Master who asked Jinzhi to come back. In the past year, I shortened two years of hard work to one year of hard study. I didn't dare to rest every day. I only slept for three hours before getting up to practice. The Valley Master knew that I cared about my family, so he helped me to learn and achieve more quickly. I lived up to the Valley Master's expectations and came back after passing five tests."

"The fifth level test, the Valley Master is really thoughtful. Of course, your talent should not be underestimated. After all, it is rare to have such an achievement. I heard that most of the disciples who came out of the retreat only passed the third level test." Yuan Niaoniao nodded in approval. It was a wise move to send Sun Jinzhi to train. Now he is almost a fifth level disciple of Jinluan Valley. Even if she is not in the Yuan family now, she can be more at ease with Xixi and Jinzhi. "Then if you have no plans for the time being, come to the Yuan Mansion to stay temporarily. You are the only one left in the Sun Mansion now, so you might as well come and accompany Xixi."

"My mother also told Jinzhi the same thing. If my cousin cannot always guard Yuan Mansion, Jinzhi will of course guard Yuan Mansion." Sun Jinzhi said firmly.

"Okay, now that my cousin has married the Prince of Chen, the palace will definitely regard us as a thorn in their side. Starting today, pay more attention to everything around Yuan Mansion, for fear that it will launch a sneak attack at any time. You must be prepared. Many things happened during your absence this year. I believe your aunt has also told you about it. If there is anything you don't understand or want to do, remember to discuss it with Xixi first. Yuan Mansion depends on you." Yuan Niaoniao said slowly. Since she was married, it would be difficult for her to guard Yuan Mansion all the time, so the two of them were her only hope.

"Okay, Jinzhi understands." Sun Jinzhi nodded. He would never have thought so much in the past. Since his cousin suggested that he go out for experience, he really understood and realized what the world needs and what he needs to do. He also admired and trusted his cousin more. Without her suggestion, he would not be who he is today.

"Okay, let's go in and have dinner, I think everyone is waiting for us," Yuan Niaoniao looked at the time. It was already noon.

"Okay." Sun Jinzhi nodded and followed Yuan Niao Niao's footsteps back to the hall.

During the meal, Yuan Xixi wanted to stick to Yuan Niao Niao so much that she would touch her palace dress and admire her, and then hold her hand to eat. It was not until Bai Yue'e got up and tapped her forehead twice that she would sit up straight and eat.

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Do you want to change your clothes? Let's go out for a walk." Chen Shaoyi saw that Yuan Niao Niao was sitting very straight, not moving or talking much. She was not like this usually. He knew that this palace dress must be making her uncomfortable.

"But if we go back home now, it will be dark again." Yuan Niaoniao said with a bitter face, "Don't we have to go to the palace for dinner tonight? I'll be patient for a while." There is a family dinner in the palace tonight, and Prince Chen, as Han Junwu's brother, will naturally attend. Then, as his daughter-in-law, she cannot escape it either.

"If you don't want to go, we don't have to go." Chen Shaoyi said seriously. He never gave face to Han Junwu. If Yuan Niaoniao hadn't insisted on going today, he wouldn't go!

"Well... okay, but we still have to go." Yuan Niao Niao sighed secretly in her heart. Although she didn't want to go from the bottom of her heart, considering that Prince Chen and his wife were going, if they didn't follow, what if Han Junwu detained Prince Chen in the palace without any warning under any pretext like last time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Listen to me, Niao Niao, don't worry too much." Chen Shaoyi seemed to sense her inner uneasiness and comforted her softly. Then he walked to sit behind Yuan Niao Niao, stretched out a pair of warm and generous hands, gently placed them on her shoulders, and began to knead them, trying to help her relieve her tension.

As Chen Shaoyi's fingers moved, Yuan Niao Niao felt the muscles in her shoulders gradually relax, and her tense nerves also felt a little relieved. She closed her eyes and enjoyed this moment of tranquility and comfort.

The palace banquet was about to begin, and Chen Shaoyi led Yuan Niaoniao to arrive at a leisurely pace. Everyone cast their eyes on the two of them, and saw that Yuan Niaoniao had a graceful figure and a pretty face, and her every move showed her elegant temperament.

After reaching the center of the hall, Yuan Niaoniao stopped and bowed towards the throne above: "Your Majesty, the Empress, are greeted by your humble servant." Her movements were standard and her manners were dignified and graceful, without any impoliteness, as if she had rehearsed them countless times.

"No need to be polite, please take a seat." Han Junwu said with a smile on his face while sitting on the dragon throne. He looked quite amiable, like a kind elder, but only Yuan Niao Niao knew that this emperor was not as simple as he seemed.

After hearing Han Junwu's words, Yuan Niaoniao bowed again, and then slowly sat down with Chen Shaoyi. After sitting down, she lowered her eyebrows and looked very obedient and gentle. However, in her heart, she had already rolled her eyes at Han Junwu - this hypocritical behavior was really unbearable!

From the moment Yuan Niao Niao stepped into the hall, countless pairs of eyes were staring at her.

Jin Jingni, who was also wearing a formal palace dress, forced herself not to look at Chen Shaoyi and Yuan Niao Niao. After all, Han Junyi had already warned her, so she dared not act rashly again.

Qingxin and Yuan Niaoniao had a secret eye contact, and Yuan Niaoniao secretly left the hall when no one was paying attention and walked towards a crowded place.

After a while, Qingxin turned around and said to Han Haotian: "I feel a little unwell. I'll go out for some fresh air and come back later."

Han Haotian didn't think much about it. He just thought that she was pregnant, which was why she had such a reaction, so he nodded in agreement.

Qingxin also slowly walked towards Yuanniao's direction, and when they were about to pass by each other, they quickly exchanged things and then went their separate ways.

Yuan Niaoniao put her things away and walked back. At this time, Han Junyi's voice sounded behind her: "Princess Chen."

Yuan Niao Niao turned around and looked at him in surprise: "I wonder what the prince Yi wants?"

"This is your thing, right?" He stretched out his hand, and in his palm was the earring that he had lost not long ago.

Yuan Niaoniao looked at Han Junyi in a strange way. Although she recognized that it was her earring, she didn't want to admit it because there were so many people around. She didn't know what his purpose was or whether there was any conspiracy. So she shook her head and said, "It's not mine. Prince Yi, ask someone else." Then she turned around and left in a hurry.

Han Junyi was left holding the earring in a daze, wondering what on earth was he doing?

Yuan Niao Niao walked back to the hall quietly, and sat down beside Chen Shaoyi in silence. This trip really exhausted her. Not only did she successfully pass the information to Qi Zhiying, but she also successfully completed the exchange of items with Qingxin.

Chen Shaoyi noticed that Yuan Niaoniao had returned, and he immediately filled a glass of fruit wine for her and said softly, "Come, try it, I promise you will like it."

Yuan Niao Niao raised her head, looked at the gentle smile in Chen Shaoyi's eyes, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously. She stretched out her delicate hand, carefully took the wine glass, and responded softly: "Okay." Then, she raised her head and drank it all without hesitation.

As soon as the glass of fruit wine went down my throat, the first thing I felt was a hint of sweetness, like a stream of clear water flowing through my throat. Then, a mellow aroma of white wine surged onto my tongue, bringing a long and wonderful aftertaste. Yuan Niao Niao couldn't help but close her eyes, savoring this unique taste, with a satisfied smile on her face. "You still understand me!"

"Of course." Seeing the satisfied expression on her face, Chen Shaoyi also felt satisfied.

Jin Jingni saw this scene clearly, and she couldn't help but feel angry. She tightly grasped the wine glass in her hand and filled it with wine one after another, as if this was the only way to vent her inner dissatisfaction and resentment. She kept muttering, "What's so great about it..."

All of this was seen by Zhen Luoyi who was standing by. She frowned slightly and felt very worried about Jin Jingni's self-indulgence.

After the banquet, Zhen Luoyi summoned Jin Jingni to her palace to give her a lecture.

"Jingni, I don't mean to blame you, but if you drink and have fun without restraint like this, what will happen if it affects your ability to have children in the future? Besides, you are now a princess, so you should be more careful about what you say and do, and know when to stop!" Zhen Luoyi advised earnestly. "Besides, you and Jun Yi should hurry up and have children, and you must not lose to the prince and his friends!"

"Your Majesty is right. Jingni will pay attention to it." Jin Jingni pretended to admit her mistake, although her patience was almost at its limit.

"Well, go back." Zhen Luoyi saw that the words had been made clear enough, so he let her go back.

"Jingni will take her leave first." She bowed and turned to leave Zhen Luoyi's palace.
