In Prince Xuan's mansion, after settling the two little ones, he simply washed his face without bathing or changing clothes, and returned to the Prime Minister's residence in such a disheveled state. After all, he had to look like a person who was in trouble and was taken in by the villagers.

Liu Jingcheng sat opposite Fu Tingxuan calmly on the surface, but he had no intention of paying any attention to Fu Tingxuan. Inwardly, he was happy and anxious, waiting for the imperial edict to come as soon as possible. He wondered if the edict had specified the wedding date. If not, he would discuss it with Prime Minister Hua, the sooner the better.

We need to prepare more betrothal gifts, as that is for Hua Xiyu's face. Yes, betrothal gifts, we need to ask Butler Lin to come and arrange them quickly.

In addition to Chunliu, the people who followed Hua Xiyu back to the Prime Minister's Mansion included two little maids. Unfortunately, there were no useful little maids in the palace. Caiping and Kouer, who served in Jingxiyuan, were only responsible for cleaning and making the beds.

Suddenly I realized that there are many things that need to be arranged quickly, otherwise I won’t be able to make it in time for the wedding.

Fu Tingxuan waved his hands in front of Liu Jingcheng and said, "What are you thinking about? You are so engrossed."

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, he asked the kitchen to prepare wine and food and placed them in Yuefeng Pavilion. That place was the most suitable for night talks, where one could talk without having to worry about being overheard. It was the most romantic place to drink some wine, listen to the sound of wind chimes, and look at the lotus flowers in the pond. It was a pity that the lotus flowers were already withered.

Gu Wuhuan heard the rumors on the street and hurried to the palace after returning from a medical visit. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted hurriedly, "Uncle, cousin."

Liu Jingcheng's busy thoughts were awakened by the shouting, "What are you screaming about?"

Fu Tingxuan interrupted Gu Wuhuan and asked him to lend a hand and go to Yuefeng Pavilion.

"Your cousin is sick again and is in a daze. Don't disturb him. Come with me to Yuefeng Pavilion to have a couple of drinks. I'm not on duty today."

Gu Wuhuan pushed him away and said, "Who wants to drink with you? My cousin has encountered a major event in his life."

"What big event can he have? No matter how big it is, it can't be as important as what happened to me. Let me tell you, I found a miracle doctor to treat my injuries."

"Tsk, who doesn't know a miracle doctor?" Gu Wuhuan sneered, walked past Fu Tingxuan and went into Liu Jingcheng's room.

In the room, when Gu Wuhuan saw Hua Xiyu wearing women's clothes, his eyes lit up. It turned out that Lin Da was so beautiful in women's clothes. No wonder his cousin liked her so much.

But this won’t work. The eldest daughter of Washington is back again. The Queen will not give up and will definitely grant the marriage. What can I do?

"Uncle, no matter how important the matter is, please put it aside for now. The eldest lady of Washington has been found again."

"Are you talking about me?" Hua Xiyu turned around and looked at Gu Wuhuan. While they were still not able to react, he took Chunliu's hand and walked out of the palace.

Fu Tingxuan stared at Hua Xiyu's back and sighed, he couldn't find her anywhere. When he turned around, he found that she was hiding in Prince Xuan's palace.

"Prince Hong, I want to ask you for someone." Fu Tingxuan stared at Hua Xiyu who was walking away, but spoke to Liu Jingcheng.

Liu Jingcheng didn't hear what Gu Wuhuan and Fu Tingxuan said at all. He held her hand and walked her to the gate of the mansion. He watched her get on the carriage and didn't look back until the carriage left the corner of the street and disappeared.

Gu Wuhuan and Fu Tingxuan just looked at him like that. They seemed to have fallen in love with this girl.

"Cousin" Gu Wuhuan is anxious. Lin Da's temper does not make her willing to be someone's concubine. Isn't cousin anxious at all?

Before they got an answer, the eunuch from the palace arrived to announce the imperial decree.

When Dequan saw Fu Tingxuan, he gave him a sly smile, and the meaning was very clear, "See, your trip was not in vain."

Fu Tingxuan suddenly realized that Dequan had always known who the miracle doctor was and where she was, but he just didn't tell him. This old eunuch was so mean.

"Prince Liu Jing received the order"

Yiqi drove the carriage towards the Prime Minister's Mansion and happened to meet the Prime Minister's Mansion's carriage in Dexianli Lane. Hua Xiyu got off the palace's carriage and got on the Prime Minister's Mansion's carriage. In this way, the Prime Minister personally took him back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

When everyone in Liushuang Court heard the news that the eldest lady had been found, they were extremely happy and they were busy arranging and packing up. Qingxing had been waiting at the gate of the mansion early. When she saw the carriage arrive and watched the young lady get off, she hurried forward to support her. When she saw Chunliu, it took her a moment to react and she quickly greeted Chunliu, "Aunt Chunliu."

Chun Liu smiled. When she left, the little girl was only about ten years old. Now that she has grown up, it is a little hard to recognize her.

Hua Xiyu went to Liushuang Courtyard familiarly, "Miss is back, Miss is back"

Someone was constantly making announcements at the door. Hot water had already been prepared in Liushuang Courtyard. Blue Grass, Purple Teng and Red Plum were all busy with their own matters. Aunt Bai and Aunt Zhang had also been waiting there for a long time.

The young lady's return this time was different from the previous times. This time, the Prime Minister went to pick her up personally and sent her to the gate of Liushuang Courtyard in person.

After Hua Xiyu finished taking a bath, Lancao was still responsible for dressing the young lady as before, but this job seemed to be snatched away by the aunt who followed the young lady. Except for Qingxing, they were all servants bought back by the Prime Minister's Mansion later. None of them knew Chunliu and only thought she was the peasant woman who took in the young lady.

Hua Jiayi was almost mad. How come that idiot came back? Why didn't she die? She was so mad, so mad that even smashing two sets of teacups couldn't make her feel better. She could only let it go.

Hua Hongyan heard that his sister had returned and wanted to go see her. She must have suffered a lot outside over the past half month.

Prime Minister Hua then asked Butler Xu to arrange for the family to have dinner together tonight, and the family sat down to prepare for dinner.

After Hua Xiyu took a bath, changed his clothes, and dressed up, he was led by Qingxing to the dining room, and the family sat down to have dinner.

Hua Xiyu was wondering what kind of performance she should perform in order to satisfy everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Her sister hoped that she was a fool, her stepmother hoped that she could not bear children, and she had passed the test of her biological father, but what about the others.

Didn't she grow up in Shuiyue Temple and have no upbringing? So be it. Anyway, she certainly hadn't been educated in the rigid etiquette of the ancients, so she couldn't pretend to be one. Shuiyue Temple could successfully cover up these shortcomings.

So after sitting down, she looked at everyone, and when she saw others picking up chopsticks, she picked up the chopsticks without hesitation and prepared to eat. Playing roller skating with the two little ones in the afternoon had consumed too much energy, and if she wasn't in a hurry, who would be willing to come back with an empty stomach?

Her performance was exactly like that of a stage-frightened fool who had never seen the world. This made Hua Jiayi very satisfied and also made Liang Yuejiao feel more at ease.

The prime minister kept picking up food for his daughter, telling her to eat more, saying that she had suffered outside and that everything would be fine when she returned home, and that her father would protect her in the future, etc. He completely forgot the family tradition of not talking while eating or sleeping.

Liang Yue is so spoiled. Doesn't the master dislike this eldest daughter? Why does he suddenly take her so seriously and even go to pick her up in person? His attentiveness at this moment seems to be a bit of fawning.

Seeing Hua Xiyu busy eating, Liang thought to herself, how long has it been since she had a full meal? How can she look like a lady from a noble family? Although she is good-looking, she has poor upbringing? Then, looking at Hua Jiayi who is sitting next to her in an elegant and dignified manner, Liang felt relieved all of a sudden.

At this time, the doorman came running in and said, "Master, Master, someone is coming from the palace."

"Why are you panicking?" Prime Minister Hua yelled, but he was happy in his heart. Someone came from the palace at the perfect time. Prince Hong had calculated everything. He didn't have time to say anything and quickly got up and went to the front hall.

"Hua Xiyu, the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Hua Yuwei, receives the imperial edict." The imperial edict was issued to Hua Xiyu, but everyone else in the mansion had to kneel to receive it.

Prime Minister Hua had just arrived at the outer hall and hadn't even stood still when he heard the voice of Eunuch Debao. It turned out that he was here to announce the imperial edict.

At this time, Hua Hongming's carriage had just arrived at the gate of the mansion. Hearing the imperial edict, he quickly straightened his clothes and knelt down next to his father to receive the order.

Prime Minister Hua looked back and saw Hua Xiyu had not come over yet.

"Go and call the eldest lady to receive the order," Prime Minister Hua instructed Butler Xu.

The whole family, young and old, became nervous. They straightened their clothes and hats and knelt down in unison.

Eunuch Debao, who was holding the imperial edict, glanced at the kneeling person and said, "Lord Hua, may I ask who Miss Hua is?" This edict is for Hua Xiyu. Your whole family is kneeling here, but the main person is not here.

Hua Yuwei blushed, turned his head and looked back, then saw the housekeeper leading Hua Xiyu slowly towards the front yard.

"Hua Xiyu, please receive the imperial edict." Eunuch Debao stood high and saw far away. He saw the real master coming and shouted again. Hua Xiyu then realized that this was to receive an imperial edict. She didn't know what the rules were for receiving an imperial edict, but at least she had to kneel. But she didn't want to kneel. She had never kneeled before anyone before. She resisted very much in her heart, but it was ancient times after all, and she had to kneel because of the situation.

She just stared at Eunuch Debao, struggling in her mind whether to kneel or not, while recalling the only costume TV drama she had ever watched, where the eunuchs had scenes and reactions when they received the imperial eunuch. The eunuchs on TV were fake, but now they were real eunuchs. She also subconsciously glanced at Debao's position, thinking that the reason for his voice change was probably hormone imbalance and so on. Just as she was distracted, her height, which was taller than that of an ordinary man, now stood there abruptly like a pole.

Eunuch Debao glanced at her and said nothing. Hua Yuwei turned his head and saw that she was still standing upright. He pulled her hard and made her kneel down. Hua Xiyu was immersed in the incredible scene of receiving the imperial edict for the first time, and was pulled by someone. She was caught off guard and her knees hit the ground hard, causing pain in her kneecaps.

She didn't hear clearly what the imperial edict said. After a lot of incomprehensible nonsense, she heard her name and understood that she would choose an auspicious day to marry Prince Hong on October 9th.

She tugged at Qingxing's clothes and asked in a low voice: "What day is today?"

Qing Xing didn't understand what she meant for a moment. After a moment of confusion, she replied, "Today is the second day of August."

Wouldn't that mean I'll have to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion for more than two months? I won't be able to see my two little treasures for more than two months, which would be a bit unhappy.
