Harem Daily Life

While He Jin'an was still feeling the pinch, Hua Yurong said again, "Young master, you have three younger sisters at home?" She remembered the day of the engagement. The Empress had three daughters and four sons. Two princesses had already married, and there was a little princess being raised by her side. The two princesses who were with He Jin'an on the day of the Lantern Festival should be the other two princesses raised by other concubines.

He Jin'an had a bad feeling, but he still nodded and said, "There's also my sister Min'er, my sister Nuo'er, and my cousin Yanran who was originally with my grandmother."

Hua Yuerong pointed to a jade hairpin with a golden sparrow design, a gold-inlaid jade lotus hairpin, and a pink jade bell hairpin in the shop, "Pack these three up as well. I met my three younger sisters the other day and thought these three items would suit them very well. Please help me give these gifts to them."

Hua Yurong showed no favoritism; not only did she buy expensive gifts for He Qian, but the other three items she chose were also quite pricey.

The shopkeeper beamed with joy; today he had met an extremely distinguished guest!

He Jin'an smiled helplessly. Luckily, he had plenty of money, otherwise it wouldn't be enough to support his future princess.

Jing Yuwei had originally intended to ridicule them, but in the end, she only caused them to lose money, which made her very unwilling. After leaving the Zhenbaozhai shop, she felt completely deflated and dejected.

"It's getting late, let's head back soon." He Jin'an said this to He Qian. After accompanying her out and spending so much money, He Jin'an lost all interest in continuing to shop.

Seeing that Jing Yuwei's complexion was also not good, the Crown Prince of Han nodded and said, "Very well, Miss Fourth is tired, then I will escort Miss Fourth to the carriage."

They each got into their own carriages. He Xiaoliu clung to Hua Yurong and sat in the Hua family's carriage.

Upon seeing that his younger brother was there, He Jin'an abandoned his own carriage and followed him in a few strides.

Jing Yuwei: "..."

The only failure in his life should all be attributed to Prince Jin, which is truly infuriating!

"Brother, let's see Miss Hua off. We rarely get to know a merchant's daughter like Miss Hua. I'd really like to see where the Hua family lives."

The Crown Prince of Han felt this was inappropriate, so he made up an excuse to escort the Fourth Princess and followed along.

He Jin'an was greatly displeased to see two tails following behind the carriage.

"Let her follow if she wants. My Hua family's house isn't something to be ashamed of. Let her look if she wants," Hua Yuerong said nonchalantly.

He Jin'an, however, thought a step further than her, considering that some people should be arranged to protect the Hua family.

"Well, I feel really bad that you spent so much money today. How about this, I'll send someone to deliver some silver notes later as a way of making up for it," He Jin'an said solemnly.

Hua Yurong blinked and tilted her head: "Didn't we agree that I would take care of you? And also support your three younger sisters and two younger brothers. What, you don't need me to support you anymore?"

He Jinan: “…”

Seeing the girl's teasing look, he raised an eyebrow: "Then thank you Yue Rong for taking care of us. I was too narrow-minded." Consider the subsidy money as a deposit and keep it with me for now. In the future, she will be in charge of the entire Jinwang Mansion, and it will all belong to her in the end anyway.

He Jinan stopped worrying about it. He hadn't expected that after only three meetings, they would already be able to share their assets equally.

Hmm, it seems like our relationship has gotten a step closer.

He Xiaoliu ate a candied hawthorn: "I don't like that Miss Jing. She never looks down at me. Humph, I'm clearly very cute."

Hua Yuerong found it somewhat amusing that a little girl, barely taller than her calves, would care about such things. However, she disliked Jing Yuwei's overbearing manner and nodded in agreement, "I don't like her either. Fortunately, I don't need to have much contact with her." After saying that, she glanced at He Jin'an, "Young Master, you must have liked Miss Jing before, right? At least, you had a good impression of her."

He Jin'an's heart skipped a beat, and he silently glanced back at Hua Yurong: "I haven't seen her many times either. I saw her once at the New Year's banquet, and then again at the Lantern Festival and today. All in all, I've seen her three times, and I've seen Yurong three times as well."

Hua Yurong narrowed her eyes... So, if those things hadn't happened at the Lantern Festival that day, would Prince Jin have succumbed to Miss Jing's advances?

The thought of that possibility, that she might never have had any entanglement with He Jin'an at all, filled Hua Yurong with lingering fear. To be fair, Hua Ruyan's elaborate scheme to steal her marriage, which provoked her to tear up the engagement in anger, now seemed like a good thing, didn't it?

"Ahem, don't overthink it. Even if I see her a few more times, it won't change anything. There's absolutely no possibility between us." The things that the Han Prince's Mansion did have been investigated and reported one after another. No one can predict what their final outcome will be. He Jin'an is not a person who acts impulsively. Since he knows that the Han Prince's Mansion is untouchable, he naturally won't recklessly tie himself to the Han Prince's Mansion just because Jing Yuwei is beautiful.

Hua Yurong glanced at the street scene outside. They were almost at the Hua residence. She mustered her courage and asked, "Miss Jing is so beautiful, yet the Prince doesn't even notice her. How did I, with only above-average looks, manage to catch the Prince's eye?"

Hua Yurong stared at He Jin'an with her big, round eyes, wanting an answer.

"I don't know either. Maybe it's because you were fearless that day and tore up the marriage certificate with your bare hands, which was very cool; maybe it's because you were calm and collected and punished the evildoers; maybe it's because you acted impulsively and dared to arrest someone for engagement on the street; or maybe it's because my sisters like you too."

He Jin'an smiled and said, "In the crowd, I can't help but look at you. I take your words to heart. When you stood in front of me and asked me if I would be engaged to you and said you would take care of me for the rest of my life, I took it to heart. I think that in this world, no one else but my family would say such things to me. I admit that I was moved at that moment."

Hua Yuerong bit her lip: "Has it nothing to do with my appearance?"

He Jin'an looked at her face and smiled, "That's partly true. You just happen to catch my eye. You're not stunningly beautiful at first glance, but the more you look at you, the more beautiful you become."

Unexpectedly confessed to, Hua Yuerong's face flushed red again.

"Ahem, Sixth Brother is still here, Your Highness should speak more prudently." Hua Yurong turned her head away, fanning herself wildly with both hands behind her back to He Jin'an. Her heart was pounding and her face was burning.

He Xiaoliu, who was called out, was used to it: "Tch~ Father often praises Mother to her, saying that she is beautiful here and there, beautiful everywhere. I'm immune to mindless praise. Sister Hua, you don't need to be shy. My second brother only praised you once, so you should calm down."

He Jinan: “…”

Hua Yuerong: "..."

The two exchanged a glance, their ears turning red, and remained silent.

"Um... I'm not very knowledgeable, what is immunity?" Huayue asked shyly.

"Um...this..." Little baby He Xiaoliu could say the word but didn't know its meaning, and looked at his second brother with a pleading look.

"Perhaps it's just a matter of getting used to it, and becoming indifferent to everything," He Jin'an explained. Any unfamiliar words that came out of Xiao Liu's mouth were new words he had learned from his mother.

The carriage stopped in front of the Hua family's house. He Jin'an got off and helped Hua Yurong down from the carriage.

Not far away, watching their reluctant farewell, Jing Yuwei almost vomited blood.
