After Huanbi was reborn, she became the prince's favorite

Yesterday he ordered delicious food at Juxian Tower, thinking that he had never hosted a formal banquet for Huanbi before, and wanted to make up for it today. He estimated that the food would be almost ready by now. The rain came at a really bad time.

His face suddenly darkened.

At this moment, Huanbi's stomach suddenly started to growl. She felt a little embarrassed and looked up at the prince with a pout.

"No need, let's go directly to Juxian Tower!" Prince Guo lowered the curtain, hugged Huanbi's arm and gently stroked it, "I was so busy shopping and strolling that I forgot it was already lunchtime. Just bear with it for a while, it will be here soon!"

Huanbi nodded obediently.

The two arrived at Juxianlou, and the dishes were served as soon as they sat down.

Huanbi was a little surprised and was about to ask the prince when the boss came over.

"Greetings, Your Highness. All the dishes that Your Highness asked me to prepare have been served. I hope Your Highness will enjoy the meal!" After the boss said this, he glanced at Huanbi and quickly looked away.

Prince Guo smiled indifferently, glanced at the food on the table, and sent the boss away.

"Try this!" The prince said as he picked up a piece of vegetable and placed it in front of Huanbi. She took a bite and found the taste of the dish very familiar, but she couldn't quite remember where it came from.

The prince looked at her expectantly, "How is it?"

Huanbi nodded and tasted the dish carefully. It tasted very much like the dishes her mother often made for her when she was a child. Could this be...

"These are dishes unique to the Baiyi tribe. I specifically found out that there is a Baiyi chef at Juxian Tower. Are they to your taste?"

The prince looked like a child who had done a good deed and was eager to take credit for it, with stars twinkling in his eyes.

Huanbi picked up a piece of vegetable and put it into the prince's bowl. She also took a bite and said with her lips pursed:

"Yunli, you are so thoughtful. I haven't eaten Baiyi cuisine since my mother passed away. Sometimes in my dreams, my mother would cook a table of dishes for me to eat with. I didn't expect that my dream would come true today."

The prince held his hand and made a firm promise, "Huanbi, after we get married, the injustice of your grandfather's family will surely be clear. By then, I will personally take you to the Baiyi tribe. Let's go see your grandfather together, okay?"

"Really? Can I really go back to the Baiyi tribe to see the place where my mother grew up?" Huanbi was surprised and happy. For her, this was something she had never dared to think about.

The prince reached out and gently touched her head.

"You heard me right, Huanbi. I promise you that after so many years, there is no one else in the Bi family except you. I will accompany you to pay homage to your grandparents, okay?"

Huanbi sat opposite him, her eyes slightly red, her shoulders gently shaking, and there was an indescribable softness in her heart.

Regardless of whether the prince can keep his promise and take her back to visit in the future, at least his words today have given her irreplaceable warmth.

Her voice trembled slightly, and every word she said was full of sincerity. "Yunli, it is my blessing to meet you in this life. Thank you for everything you have done for me."

Seeing Huanbi happy, the prince felt more satisfied than if he had won the top spot in the imperial examination. He took good care of Huanbi and asked her to eat more.

"You should eat too. If I eat too much, I will get fat and then I won't look good."

"No way, no matter how tall or short, fat or thin you are, you are the most beautiful and the best in my heart."

After dinner, the two walked on the street for a long time. Seeing that it was getting late, the prince sent her back to the Old Summer Palace and then sent her on a boat. The prince did not turn around and walk back until Huanbi's figure disappeared from his sight.

Ah Jin walked out with the prince, "The prince really has a deep affection for Miss Huanbi!"

"A Jin, you don't understand. When you meet the woman you love, you will naturally understand." The prince patted his shoulder.

Ah Jin nodded, "I don't understand, but there is a thorny matter right now, Ah Jin has to tell the prince."

Prince Guo's eyes were full of vigilance. "What's the matter?"

"The Queen Mother wants the prince to come to the palace tomorrow. It seems that she wants to discuss the marriage with Miss Meng..." Ah Jin's voice was not loud, and there was a hint of worry in his tone.

He had followed the prince since he was a child, and understood that although the prince was usually kind, those were not what the prince cared about. When it came to major events in life, the prince was always a passionate person and would not tolerate any ambiguity.

"I understand. I just need to ask the emperor for permission to marry me, but it will be early." The prince patted his chest gently, reminding A Jin not to worry too much.

Prince Guo came to the palace early the next morning and found the emperor just after the morning court session.

"I asked you to investigate Longkodo's affairs these days. How is your progress?" the emperor asked while flipping through the books on the table.

Prince Guo took out a book from his sleeve, which recorded the evidence of Longkodo and the Tonggiya clan's crimes over the years.

"Brother, I have checked everything out. Everything is here, but..."

"Just what?" The emperor took out a pen and made a few strokes on the memorial before looking up.

"Speaking of which, my brother and I want to call Lord Longkodo our uncle..."

"Uncle? I have always believed that the emperor and his subjects come first, and then the closest relatives. Besides, Longkodo is not the Queen Mother's brother. You have found out a lot of things. It is not that I want to embarrass him intentionally. It is really his own fault. I can no longer tolerate it!"

There was a hint of warning and shock in the emperor's eyes.

Prince Guo folded his hands and said, "I worry too much. I am not as far-sighted as you are when it comes to matters at court."

The emperor's expression changed, and he suddenly smiled and said, "You keep avoiding the affairs of the court! But you can no longer shirk your lifelong affairs."

Prince Guo took two steps back and knelt on the ground. "Today, I came to the palace for my own lifelong event."

The emperor was a little surprised. You know, Old Seventeen had never mentioned marriage on his own initiative. "Have you thought it through?"

"In reply to your Royal Brother, I have a girl in my heart, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to grant me a marriage with her."

It was obvious that he was serious this time, so the emperor asked jokingly, "Which girl is this that could make the elegant and graceful Prince Guo stop and take a look?"

"It's Huanbi!"

"Huanbi?" When the emperor heard the name, he put down what he was holding, his face darkened, and he leaned back in the dragon chair and took a sip of tea.

"Yunli, do you know that I don't allow anyone in the palace to mention her?"

Prince Guo lowered his head, "I know I was wrong. I believe that my brother is clear about what he does. I have been attracted to Huanbi since I met her a few times. Whenever I am with her, I feel very at ease. Traveling, poetry, dance and music can no longer attract me. I just want to be with her for the rest of my life."

The Emperor's eyes softened after hearing Old Seventeen's words. Through Prince Guo, she seemed to see Chunyuan and Huanhuan. Whenever she was with them, she seemed to be able to temporarily forget about any frustrating state affairs.

"You don't mind that Huanbi was born a maid?"

"I only know that she is the only woman in my life, nothing else matters." Prince Guo raised his head and said this.
