Traveling back and forth from ancient times to the present, the prince pursues love in the modern ti

"Your Majesty, Miss Xia is back!" Chief Steward Xu paused after saying this and looked up to see the emperor's reaction!

When the emperor saw that Xu Mingyuan stopped talking, he shifted his gaze from the memorial to Xu Mingyuan.

"But what's wrong?"

After a brief thought, Xu Mingyuan decided to report the news to the emperor truthfully.

"Your Majesty, according to a witness, at the beginning of the afternoon, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince was seen carrying a girl in strange clothes out of the First Prince's bedroom.

Although I haven't seen that girl's face, the only one who can be close to His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is Miss Xia!"

"How long has Xia Youan been gone?" The emperor asked in a light tone, as if he was recalling this question.

"Three whole years!"

"If I remember correctly, she was captured by the eldest prince and taken to the palace and disappeared, right?" The emperor confirmed with Xu Mingyuan.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Three years later, he reappeared at the place where he disappeared. The Seventh Prince even arranged people to wait there. Is there something wrong with the eldest prince's bedroom, or is there something wrong with Xia Youan himself?" The emperor murmured, thinking carefully about the key.

"How many people saw it?"

"Your Majesty, only two eunuchs saw it, and they've already been dealt with!"

Xu Mingyuan felt that this matter was suspicious and that someone would inevitably target Miss Xia. So he dealt with the person in advance to prevent others from knowing that Miss Xia had appeared from the eldest prince's palace.

If it is really found out that there is something fishy going on with Miss Xia, she may be in danger again.

With the Seventh Prince's current temperament and methods, if something really happens to Miss Xia, the palace will probably have no good life!

"After tomorrow's morning court session, summon Xia Youan to see me!"

"Here!"

Xia Youan opened his eyes, feeling refreshed. He'd slept for almost fifteen or sixteen hours, completely slumbering away the fatigue of the last few days. He felt comfortable stretching when his arm suddenly struck Chu Moyuan.

He turned his head and saw Chu Moyuan beside him. At this time, Chu Moyuan also opened his eyes.

The two looked at each other for two seconds, and Chu Moyuan took Xia Youan in his arms, "Are you awake?"

Xia Youan blinked, "Why didn't you leave?"

"Why are you leaving?"

"Men and women are not allowed to kiss each other!"

"I'm still a child, what does it matter? Xia Youan! Don't be so dirty!"

"How are you small? You're already 16!"

"Humph! You know I'm 16, not young anymore? You're being hypocritical! You scumbag!"

"Uh~Chu Moyuan, you're at it again!"

"What's wrong with what I said? Didn't you say last night that I was still a child, a child you raised with your own hands?"

Xia Youan: "Okay, okay, okay, I can't argue with you, so I'll just stop talking, okay?"

Chu Moyuan quickly backed down and stopped making unreasonable demands. What a silly girl, she was successfully led astray by him again!

Qingying was standing outside the door. When she heard the sound coming from inside, she smiled like an aunt.

What did I say? These two are a good match, right? Back then, Miss Xia refused to admit that she also liked the Seventh Prince.

Look, the two of them are so affectionate so early in the morning!

tsk tsk~

Xia Youan had no idea that Qingying had already imagined a big drama in her mind because of Chu Moyuan's staying overnight.

Chu Moyuan doesn't care what others think of them.

"Get up when you've slept enough. After breakfast, I guess your father will send someone to invite you over!" Chu Moyuan patted Xia Youan's back gently and reminded him.

Xia Youan looked at him suspiciously and asked, "How did the emperor know I was back?"

"This is the imperial palace. There are the emperor's spies everywhere. Plus, I brought you back yesterday, so it was inevitable that someone would see us!" Chu Moyuan explained.

Then he continued, "After three years, you've reappeared where you disappeared. Father must have become suspicious. If he asks, there's no need to answer this question."

Although he may have confirmed it, as long as it is not from your mouth, let him guess whatever he wants."

"Okay, I get it! My dad also asked me to bring a box of wine to the emperor, and I was planning to deliver it to him today!"

"My future father-in-law is so thoughtful that he even sent gifts to my in-laws in advance!" Chu Moyuan said lightly.

Xia Youan: “…”

Haha, Xia Youan was speechless, as long as you are happy! I won’t bother with children!

"Don't worry when you go there. Just be yourself. Be the same as you usually are. There's no need to pretend!" Chu Moyuan was afraid that Xia Youan would feel uncomfortable when she saw the emperor, so he explained to her in advance.

He didn't know that this girl who might seem unnatural in his eyes had already become a close friend of his father 9 years ago, and they were just short of becoming sworn half-siblings!

"Don't worry, I won't treat myself badly!" Xia Youan promised.

After getting up, Chu Moyuan asked someone to bring in water for washing.

Xia Youan looked at Qingying who came in with a basin with excitement.

What's wrong with this girl? Why is she so excited?

How could she know how Qingying, whom she hadn't seen for only three days, had been through the past three years? Xia Youan was completely unable to empathize with everyone's reactions when they saw her!

"Your Highness, Miss, please wash up!"

"Qingying, I brought gifts for you all. Come to me for them later! And by the way, find some packaging boxes. I want to give gifts to Xiaoyao Palace, Censorate and other families. Find a few more!" Xia Youan instructed.

Because she brought so many things, inspired by Brother Peng, she opened all the gift boxes.

It doesn’t matter for our own people, but it’s better to package it when giving it to outsiders.

Due to limited transportation conditions, she couldn't bring too many heavy things, but she still brought some small things like a small mirror, lipstick, lip balm, hand cream, snacks, etc. for everyone she knew.

What matters is the thought!

"Thank you, young lady! I'll get it after you finish washing up." Tears welled up in Qingying's eyes, but she forced herself to hold them back.

After breakfast, Xia Youan and Qingying began to pack the gifts to be sent to several mansions.

The Censorate, also known as Xie You's home, was filled with two men's and women's watches, two sets of cosmetics, and some miscellaneous small items.

The Duke of Song's mansion, Song Jinbao's home, contained one watch each for men and women. Considering the large number of women in his household, they also contained more cosmetics and other miscellaneous items. Because the Duke of Song's family often traveled for business, they were given a telescope to help them detect any incidents along the way.

That’s very thoughtful!

In addition to one watch each for men and women, a set of cosmetics and some small gifts, the Xiaoyao Palace also prepared an electric shaver for King Xiaoyao and a box of chocolates for Chun'er.

The General's Mansion prepared two men's watches, one women's watch, a set of cosmetics, and some small gifts. They also gave him a telescope, because they have so many generals!

Chu Moyuan’s gift had already been given last night.

The gifts for Chu Linzhou, Shan Ronghao, Xie Youzhi and Song Jinbao will be given to them individually after we meet them.

Let them enjoy the privilege of being in her place!
