The cruel little princess

"Mr. Fu, please feel free to speak!" An Er said with a polite smile on his face and a gentle tone. Although he was a secret guard, his mind was much more delicate than An Yi's.

Although they are all the prince's personal guards, they only need to obey orders when performing tasks without asking any questions.

But the situation this time was a little special. Although he didn't know what confidential content was discussed between the prince and princess and Fu Junhua, he was still keenly aware of the subtleties from the obvious change in the prince's attitude towards Fu Junhua.

When the prince mentioned Fu Junhua before, he just called him by his name "Fu Junhua" in a calm tone, as if he was treating an ordinary person.

However, before leaving, the prince asked his two brothers to send him back to the post station, but he said the three words "Mr. Fu" with a hint of respect.

An Er thought to himself that it seemed that Mr. Fu would become one of their own in the future.

In this case, without involving other issues such as the core secrets of the palace, he was somewhat curious and wanted to hear what was so outstanding about this Mr. Fu that could make the usually cautious prince and the intelligent princess let down their guard towards him so quickly.

"Ah!...That's it!" Fu Junhua looked around a little awkwardly, like a child who had done something wrong and was afraid of being discovered by adults.

Seeing that there was indeed no one else around, he seemed to muster up great courage and boldly put forward his request.

"Second brother, you know that when you picked me up, you carried me on your back.

Actually, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, brother. I am a little afraid of heights!" Fu Junhua scratched his head, a hint of embarrassment flushed on his face.

"But, I also think your Qinggong skills are really exciting!

The feeling of flying in the wind, as free as a bird, is something I have never experienced in my life.

So... um... I want the eldest brother and the second brother to each hold one of my arms when I go back!

This way I can experience it again with a more handsome posture!" Fu Junhua became more and more excited as he spoke, with anticipation glittering in his eyes.

Suddenly, Fu Junhua seemed to remember something and frowned slightly.

When he came, he almost screamed out because of his fear of heights. In order to prevent him from exposing his target, An Yi directly pressed his mute point.

At that moment, he was shocked and scared. Thinking back on it now, he still feels a lingering fear.

In order to convince An Yi and An Er, Fu Junhua raised three fingers to the sky with a serious face and swore, "I will definitely not scream this time!

Otherwise, let me give birth to a child without an asshole!"

Although the oath was a bit vulgar, it fully demonstrated his determination.

An Yi and An Er were stunned at first when they heard this, and then they couldn't help laughing.

They had been secret guards for so many years, but this was the first time they had heard someone make such a strange request.

Mr. Fu is really an interesting person, completely different from those rigid and conservative people.

The two brothers looked at each other, a smile and fondness flashing in their eyes.

Satisfy him! Must satisfy him!

They thought, considering Mr. Fu’s frankness and cuteness, what did this small request matter?

What's more, when they were on missions, they often saw fathers on the street picking up their children and putting them on their necks to play "riding horses"!

At worst, the two of them can just take the kids out for fun out of boredom!

So, An Yi and An Er walked to Fu Junhua's left and right, and held his arms steadily.

Then, the two of them used their Qinggong skills and returned to the post station along the same route like two light flying swallows.

Their figures shuttled through the night at an extremely fast speed, yet they moved very quietly, without making any sound.

Like two black ghosts, they successfully sent Fu Junhua back to his room without alarming anyone.

"Master Fu, my brothers and I will come here every night from now on.

If you have any news, you can tell it orally or in writing.

We will definitely convey this to the prince and princess!" An Yi said, looking at Fu Junhua sincerely.

In fact, this is also a disguised way of guaranteeing his safety.

After all, this is not the royal palace. Although it seems to be calm at the moment, no one can say whether there will be any potential danger.

During the day, there were many people and eyes, so generally no problems would occur. At night, they would come to inspect and if there was anything, they would promptly send a message. If there was nothing, they would just look around to reassure the prince and princess.

Fu Junhua was deeply moved after hearing An Yi's words.

He knew very well that His Royal Highness Prince Jin's arrangements were so careful and thoughtful, and he was thinking of him in every way.

"Then please, brother, thank His Royal Highness Prince Jin for me!" Fu Junhua clasped his fists and saluted respectfully.

"Okay!" An Yi and An Er responded in unison. Before they finished speaking, they flashed and disappeared into the night, as if they had never appeared.

Only Fu Junhua was left standing in the room, staring at the direction they disappeared, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, the warm winter sun shone into the house through the carved windows. Shen Youyou lay quietly on the bed, frowning slightly, immersed in a sweet dream.

Last night she had a very pleasant conversation with Fu Junhua, and they talked until very late without realizing it. The morning sun couldn't wake her up, so she slept in soundly.

It was almost noon when Shen Youyou woke up listlessly. She stretched lazily and got up to wash up with the help of the maids.

After lunch, His Royal Highness Prince Jin Fu Junhua walked up to her with a smile, took her hand, and suggested taking a walk in the mansion to help digest the food.

The palace garden has a unique scenery in winter. Although the flowers, plants and trees appear a little bleak, the rockery and ponds still have charm.

The two walked slowly along the path, talking and laughing, and the breeze blew gently, bringing a special touch of warmth.

Since there was nothing important happening today, Shen Youyou and His Royal Highness Prince Jin were walking and they discussed hiding the news of her pregnancy.

After all, people in the capital have complicated minds, and it is better to have less trouble than more. They hope to make it public when the child is more stable.

But strangely enough, Shen Youyou hasn't vomited since she vomited once when she smelled the fishy smell during the hot pot.

She herself also felt it was a little magical. Touching her belly which was not yet visible, her eyes were full of tenderness and anticipation.

This child is so sensible! He even knows not to make his mother feel bad...

But Shen Zijin in the General's Mansion was not so relaxed.

For some reason, he has been vomiting whenever he smells something fishy lately, and it feels like his stomach is churning.

When it was serious, he would vomit even light porridge and side dishes, and he looked much more haggard.

Shen Zijin was very worried at first. He once thought that he had some incurable disease. Why was he vomiting continuously?

This filled him with worry, and his former carefree and unrestrained demeanor disappeared.

However, he also asked the imperial physicians to take his pulse. Imperial Physician Yang, Imperial Physician Li and even Imperial Physician Xu, the judge of the court, came to help diagnose him. But after taking his pulse, the imperial physicians all confirmed that there was nothing wrong with him and that he had no symptoms.

Shen Zijin found it very strange. After thinking about it, he wondered if it was because he hadn't lived in the capital for a long time, so he was not used to the climate there?

He secretly decided to go find his sister Shen Youyou tomorrow and see if she could help.

On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, the sun was still shining brightly. After Shen Youyou had breakfast in the morning, she decided to go to the herbal medicine shop.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and her herbal medicine shop has been open for more than a year.

Over the past year or so, the shop's business has been booming, which is inseparable from the hard work of the shopkeeper and his staff.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, she still has to give New Year gifts to her employees so that everyone can celebrate the New Year happily.

Originally, His Royal Highness Prince Jin was going to accompany her, but before she left, someone came from the palace.

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict had a serious expression on his face. He said that the Emperor wanted to discuss important matters with His Royal Highness Prince Jin and asked him to enter the palace immediately.

His Royal Highness Prince Jin frowned slightly and asked, "I wonder what the emperor wants? Does the eunuch know?"

The person who came to deliver the imperial edict was not Eunuch Xiao Xizi, but his apprentice, Young Master Xiao Hezi.

Eunuch He said, "Your Highness, I dare not speak rashly about matters concerning the royal family. I only vaguely heard from my master that it might be related to these two princesses who were to be married off..."

Smart people always know when to stop.

His Royal Highness Prince Jin said, "Thank you very much, eunuch!"

Although His Royal Highness Prince Jin was worried about Shen Youyou, he could not disobey the emperor's order.

"Youyou, father has something to do, so I'll go into the palace first. I'll send An Er to protect you, so that you won't be bumped into by any ignorant people..." His Royal Highness Prince Jin gently supported Shen Youyou and slowly walked out of the palace.

"When you go to the shop, you don't have to see patients anymore. Just give bonuses to the guys. Let An Er and the others do any work!" His Royal Highness Prince Jin instructed repeatedly.

"I'll be back soon. If you have nothing else to do, go home and rest early!"

Only after Shen Youyou nodded in agreement did His Royal Highness Prince Jin feel relieved.

So he sent An Er and other brothers to protect the princess, and he hurried to the palace to report.

Shen Youyou looked at Prince Jin's departing back. Although she felt reluctant, she also knew the seriousness of the matter, so she took Chuntao and got on the carriage and set off.
