The hero fell for the cannon fodder maid.

It was the height of summer in July, with scorching sun and shady green trees. Last night, while people were fast asleep, refreshing rain and dew fell, covering the ground with countless raindrops. The moment the sun rose, the rain and dew were evaporated by the warmth, leaving only cool air spreading over the outskirts of the capital, adding a sense of comfort to passers-by.

Xiao Wanyue was awakened by He Jingming next to her. She stirred her body, turned over, and continued to sleep, mumbling, "Baby, don't move. I'll sleep for a while."

He Jingming's shaking hand stopped in mid-air. The moment before, he was still marveling at how well-behaved and cute Xiao Wanyue was, but the next second, reality slapped him hard in the face.

What "baby" was Xiao Wanyue talking about? Who was this person? Why was he worthy of her unforgettable love? She even called his name in her dreams. These two words sounded so intimate.

Could it be that his Yue'er has never cared about him and only has disgust towards him?

The color of his eyes changed, turning blood red. What he hated most was betrayal. Did his Yue'er betray him?

No, it's impossible. How could his Yue'er betray him? He must have misheard and was overthinking it.

He suppressed the anger in his heart and gently shook Xiao Wanyue's shoulders.

Xiao Wanyue: "Are you annoying? I want to sleep. Just let me sleep for a while, okay, He Jingming."

She just thought that it was the pet cat she kept at home in her bed. Usually when she was at home, the baby liked to come to her room and sleep with her. Every time it wanted to go out, it would wake her up. She didn't react for a while, so she acted coquettishly and said, "Baby, don't move."

If He Jingming heard it, he would be unreasonably jealous. She never thought that the male protagonist in a book would be such a jealous person.

If she doesn't explain, she might get one step closer to the chains. Don't think she doesn't know, this guy is a complete lunatic.

You can't afford to offend him, but you can still coax him.

She lay motionless on the bed, covering her head with the quilt to prevent He Jingming from noticing anything unusual.

When He Jingming heard Xiao Wanyue say this, his whole body trembled. He knew that Yue'er cared about her.

He said, "Yue'er, get up quickly. It's time for us to go back to Beijing."

After shaking gently again, Xiao Wanyue slowly climbed out of the quilt, opened her sleepy eyes, and looked at He Jingming with an unhappy face. She had to act like she was in a good mood after waking up.

Xiao Wanyue rubbed her eyes and said, "Hold me up, and put clothes on me. I don't want to move."

He Jingming's eyes flashed, and his face flushed a little. He forced himself to be calm and asked, "Do you really want me to put it on for you?"

Xiao Wanyue nodded.

He Jingming carried her to the carpet and made her stand. He put on a goose yellow cross-skirt and pearl embroidered shoes for her, then led her to sit in front of the dressing table. He gently combed her long hair that was like a waterfall, and casually tied a bun for Xiao Wanyue, inserted a black jade hairpin, and then went to get some water to wash her hands and face.

Why is it a simple bun? He learned it from Xiao Wanyue when she was doing her hair bun. He only knew this simple hairstyle. He only knew how to do men's buns and had never done women's. In the future, he would only do Xiao Wanyue's hair bun.

Xiao Wanyue finally opened her eyes. This man was too meticulous. He took care of her from the moment she got up, dressed, and combed her hair. He also combed her hair into a bun, which looked pretty good. It must be nice to have such a man treat her so well.

He Jingming wasn't bad looking, but she had her own concerns. It wasn't that she had no feelings for him. He had already become a part of her life.

After washing up and leaving the room, the people next door had packed their bags one after another, waiting for the order.

He Jingming took Xiao Wanyue's hand and went downstairs. When they got outside, the carriage was already ready. He Jingming asked Xiao Wanyue to get in first. She only then noticed that He Jingming was wearing a dark gold-threaded python robe, which looked very noble. His aura instantly rose, strong and domineering.

After she sat down in the carriage, He Jingming also came in. She originally wanted to be with Zheng Tiaodi and Zhao Jingyu, but unfortunately, they all had their own homes to go home, but she was the only one who had to go to the palace. Why couldn't she go home?

Everyone who was traveling with them got on the carriage. Zhao Jingyu was riding in the same carriage with Zhao Jingzhi. Zhao Jingyu's eyes were all bruised. She had not slept well all night and didn't know how to face her parents when she returned home.

I hope they won’t punish her. Oh, I really want to go to the palace with Xiao Wanyue so that she won’t have to worry about being punished. Copying the “Nu Jie” is so uncomfortable. Can I not copy it this year? Oh.

She sat obediently in the carriage and dared not do anything.

Let’s talk about Zheng Tiaodi. She was alone in a carriage and was very bored. She could only sleep in the carriage. Her cheap cousin told her that her parents and brother were coming to pick her up at the city gate, so she had to sit in a carriage alone.

She really wanted to ride in a carriage with Xiao Wanyue. How nice it would be so that she wouldn't be bored alone. However, she still felt a little guilty. It was her fault for running away without saying goodbye and getting caught by human traffickers. It was embarrassing just thinking about it.

She caused her family to worry in vain. If she hadn't run away on her own, she wouldn't have suffered so much. Their family was originally going to return to the capital, but she couldn't enjoy the blessing of having a horde of servants.

And there was Meng Yinzhou. She hadn't even developed a good relationship with him yet, and he left like that.

Meng Yinzhou was a candidate who was going to take part in the autumn examination. She should be able to see him again in the capital. She had finally found a man who was very compatible with her, and she also wanted to have a sour love affair with him.

The carriages left a long line, and Zhou Ze and Zhou Mu followed closely behind. They still had to go back to the Lin Mansion to pack up and see their parents and relatives.

He no longer used the name Zhou Ze and changed back to his original name. Originally, Zhou Ze was the name of one of his brothers. Later, he died in the battlefield, so he returned to Liujia Village under his original name.

Zhou Ye is also his good brother, and is the biological brother of the original Zhou Ze, although they are half-brothers.

Zhou Mu is a good boy. He is the son of a good brother. He has made an indelible contribution to their return this time. He wants to take him to meet his parents.

Zhou Mu naturally obeyed. He had his own selfish motives, and now he also saw the situation clearly. The emperor liked Xiao Wanyue, and Xiao Wanyue's best choice was also the emperor.

His love for Xiao Wanyue was just his wishful thinking. Xiao Wanyue never knew that she only viewed him as her brother as a younger sister.

He didn't want to add to her troubles. Perhaps letting go was the best option. He should understand that guarding her from afar was the best protection for her.

After going through so much, he knew that Zhao Chengyi was a person worthy of trust, and he would be the first to rush to the front whenever Yue'er was in danger.

What he is worried about is whether Zhao Chengyi will be good to Xiao Wanyue?

Will he let her down? If so, he will definitely grab her back at all costs.

He will always be her brother.

After sending his uncle home, he went home. His mother and father should have also come to the capital. Now their family should be reunited.

Xiao Lingqing was silent all the way and no one knew what he was thinking.

The capital city was right in front of us, and carriages and horses were galloping on the official road. When we were about to reach the city gate, we saw a group of people waiting at the door from afar.

When Zheng Tiaodi stuck her head out, she saw her parents waiting at the door. Her heart ached and she cried because she missed home.

In addition to the Zheng family, Prince Rui's family was also there.

As for the Xiao family of Zhennan Palace...
