Harem Daily Life

Hua Yurong returned to the mansion happily, but as soon as she entered the backyard, Hua Ruyan blocked her way.

"Oh, I heard that my dear sister went out to eat and shop with her future husband before she was even married? After learning so much about propriety and morality, how come she's still like this? She's always showing her face in public, she doesn't act like a proper lady at all."

Hua Ruyan spoke sarcastically on the surface, but she was furious inside. She really regretted not going with him today, otherwise she would have had the chance to meet the outstanding Prince Jin.

Hua Yurong, seeing her looking like she was about to pick a fight again, gave her a look that seemed to express pity for someone with intellectual disabilities: "Go ahead and mock me. After all these years, I've become immune to it. What other skills do you have besides making sarcastic remarks? I'm in a good mood today and I'm magnanimous, so I won't hold it against you."

After Hua Yurong finished speaking, she walked right past Hua Ruyan, head held high and strode away.

Hua Ruyan stood there stunned for three seconds, utterly bewildered: "What did she just say? What immunity? Could it be that she learned some kind of sorcery or gained some kind of magic?" Otherwise, it would be hard to explain Hua Yurong's behavior of leaving without arguing with her for a few rounds today.

The maidservant beside Hua Ruyan also couldn't hear clearly: "It sounded like something about immunity, or something about immunity, but I didn't hear it clearly."

Seeing her young mistress's furious expression, the maid said, "If I may say something unpleasant, this young lady has already climbed the social ladder. You should coax her a little more, so that she can bring some benefits to the Zhou family in the future." Even the maid couldn't stand it anymore. Her young mistress only knew how to anger the eldest young lady all day long. Things are different now. How come she still doesn't have any sense of propriety?

Hua Ruyan glared at the maid, showing no appreciation whatsoever: "What do you know? You expect me to submit to her, to coax her, to fawn over her? No way!"

Hua Yurong went straight back to her room, closed the door, took off her cloak, and went straight to the bed, rolling around on it with joy.

"Aaaaaah—he complimented my looks! Aaaaaah—"

Outside the door, the maids serving her looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What's wrong, young lady? Should we call a doctor to take a look?"

"He doesn't look sick to me. Let's wait and see."

"Aaaaaaahh ...

"Are you sure you don't want to see a doctor?"

"This...you stay here, I'll go find Madam first." The maid hurried away. Not long after, Madam Hua arrived in a panic, shouting before even reaching the courtyard gate, "My son, what's wrong?"

Inside the room, Hua Yurong was shouting and laughing. When her mother pushed the door open, she was almost scared out of her wits by the scene.

Hua Yurong's hair was askew, her hair was messy, and her mouth was still open. She scrambled to her feet, looking adorably dazed.

Madam Hua rushed to Hua Yuerong's side, asking, "Yueyue, what's wrong?"

Hua Yurong blinked and said, "I'm fine, I'm perfectly fine." Her lips stretched to her ears in a wide grin, and her eyes crinkled with laughter.

"Are you really alright? Then what about your shouting just now..." Madam Hua stared at Hua Yuerong.

Hua Yurong shook her head: "I'm fine, hahaha, Mother, don't worry, hahaha..."

Everyone: "..."

After leaving Hua Yurong's room, Hua's mother looked grave and whispered to the nanny beside her, "Tomorrow, please ask Granny Fang to come again and teach Yurong how to smile. Although her smile is festive, it's too creepy if she smiles for too long." She's like a silly old woman.

The old woman nodded: "You should learn some more. The Lantern Festival will be here soon, and you'll be meeting your in-laws soon."

At the palace gate, the Crown Prince of Han bid farewell to He Qian. The two were still a little affectionate. He Jin'an stood aside, somewhat impatient. Seeing this, Jing Yuwei stepped forward and said, "Brother and the Fourth Princess still have some things to say. I also have a few words to say to Your Highness. Please, Your Highness, let's speak privately."

He Jin'an frowned: "Say what you want to say here."

The palace gates are wide open and bright; there's no need to hide anything from anyone.

Jing Yuwei bit her lip, looking at He Jin'an with pitiful eyes; her look was so endearing that any man would soften. He Jin'an sighed, "Then let's go over there."

The two walked a little further away and stood next to a pillar at the city gate, subtly avoiding the gaze of the passing guards.

"Actually... I'm not an unreasonable person. I was just too sad and angry today, which is why I was a bit aggressive." Jing Yuwei said in a coquettish voice, looking at He Jin'an with pleading eyes.

He Jin'an said helplessly, "Who Miss Jing is has nothing to do with me, and there's no need for me to explain."

"How can it not be related? My anger and sadness are all related to you. Don't tell me you can't see it, can't see how I feel about you!"

He Jin'an took half a step back: "Miss Jing, you'll be misunderstood if you say something like that."

"Hmph, I'm not afraid of being misunderstood. I just... I just hate that I was a step too late and didn't express my feelings to her first." Jing Yuwei took half a step forward, the corner of her dress touching He Jin'an's cloak, and said softly, "Do you dare to say that you have no feelings for me at all? You were clearly mesmerized when I danced at the palace banquet that day."

He Jinan quickly took another step back: "I'm just appreciating the dance, not the person. Miss Jing, please don't misunderstand."

Jing Yuwei was furious, but she was unwilling to give up. She suddenly stepped forward and hugged He Jin'an's waist, pressing her whole body against him.

Yin Jiu's eyes widened; he was ready to make a move, but...

"Bang—" Jing Yuwei was pushed by He Jin'an and fell to the ground.

Yin Jiu silently withdrew his steps; it seemed there was no need for him to take action.

"You pushed me?" Jing Yuwei stared at He Jin'an in disbelief. "How could you push me away?" Jing Yuwei's world collapsed. In the past, whenever she used this trick, none of those princes and noblemen were not delighted and welcoming. She let them taste a little sweetness, and they would take whatever they wanted from her.

Her pond was full of fish, but none of them were as stubborn as He Jin'an.

He Jin'an did not explain. When the maids of the Han Prince's Mansion saw their young mistress fall to the ground, they rushed over to help her up.

"It was my recklessness to cause Miss Jing to fall. I will prepare a generous gift to apologize to Miss Jing another day." After saying this, He Jin'an turned to leave.

As they passed each other, Jing Yuwei went all out and shouted, "I love Your Highness, and even if Your Highness's heart is as hard as a rock, I will not give up."

The patrolling guards all cast gossipy glances his way. He Jin'an clenched his fist and said, "I advise you to turn back before it's too late. Don't waste your time on me anymore. I'm already engaged."

Watching He Jin'an stride away, Jing Yuwei was both anxious and angry. In the end, the Crown Prince of Han couldn't bear to watch any longer and went forward to drag his sister onto the carriage.

"Didn't we agree to take things slowly? Why are you in such a hurry today? There's plenty of time later. I'll help you make another appointment with him."

Jing Yuwei leaned against the window, her breathing rising and falling, her brother's words ignoring her like a passing breeze.

"I can't wait any longer. If he doesn't take the bait, he'll start to favor that woman surnamed Hua. I will never allow my prey to admire someone else, never!"
