In the early morning, when the sky was just beginning to turn red, the news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had returned to Yuncheng safely spread, and the Crown Prince's party, led by the He family, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, the news that the prince himself brought back a princess shocked people and made them at a loss as to what to do. Who was He?

In Kunning Palace, Empress He's graceful face showed fatigue. She rubbed her brows and told the maid, "Please invite the prince and He to come to me."

Her tone was heavy. The prince's return was a happy event, but where did this He come from? How could the prince's marriage be so hasty?

He Yue was brought back to the East Palace by Ning Rushong and directly placed in the Changxin Hall where the prince was.

In the west pavilion of the main hall of Changxin Palace, He Yue sat upright with a heavy expression on her snow-white face and her heart beating fast.

She was still staying in a small country village last month, but now she was in the magnificent and elegant East Palace. She couldn't help but feel nervous. She folded her hands on her handkerchief and stared at the peach blossom embroidered by Xia Suling with her eyes lowered.

The palace maids around He Yue were carefully selected by Xiao Guanzi. The two senior palace maids who served her closely were named Xiao Nuan and Xiao Hong. Xiao Guanzi also personally reviewed the other second- and third-class palace maids one by one.

"Yueyue." Ning Rushong stepped into the west pavilion, lifted the double curtain, and walked in front of He Yue.

He Yue raised her eyes to look at Ning Rushong. He was standing in the dignified and cold hall. His aura could no longer be concealed. She finally saw the towering Cangshan Mountain through the clouds.

Ning Rusong waved his hand, and the palace servants all bowed and left in an orderly manner. He spoke to her in his usual warm voice, "Yueyue, although you just arrived at the Eastern Palace today, don't panic. You can order anyone around in the Eastern Palace, and no one dares to mess with you."

From the moment He Yue agreed to his marriage, he never called her Miss He again. The word Yue Yue always sounded gentle and tender when it came out of his mouth, and his clear and deep voice was full of affection. She just thought that he heard Xia Suling calling her that, so she followed suit.

"You and I will be a loving couple, and there is no need to follow any conventional etiquette. Your Highness and the Crown Princess are for outsiders to see." Ning Rusong leaned down, put his arms around her, and thought for a while, "You can just call me by my name."

He was born in September, and he still has two months to go before he is crowned, and he hasn't even taken a name yet.

He Yue felt a little more at ease, raised her hand to her chest, and told the truth, "I was very panicked. I didn't know any rules, and I was really laughed at."

Her pretty and bright face showed a bit of weakness, and the huge sense of separation and absurdity made her inevitably feel timid.

Ning Rushong held her face with his hands as gently as possible, and rubbed her cheek in a soothing manner, "Yueyue, what rules do you need to know? Others can only bow to you when they see you. As for father and mother, I will not let you meet them alone. You just need to follow me and bend down. I will take care of everything."

Their eyes intertwined. He Yue could see the sincerity and tenderness in his eyes, but she felt that he was still Mr. He from Lijia Village, nothing had changed.

He Yue felt the warmth of Ning Rushong's hand. It was actually a little cold, but her heart felt warmed. She raised her hand and placed her own hand on the back of his hand.

"You are bored staying in the East Palace. If you want to leave the palace to look for Xia, it's up to you. Just live a comfortable life." Ning Rusong tried her best to dispel her worries. "Do you still remember the imperial manor I told you about?"

He Yue nodded, her eyes bright and clear, "Remember."
