After traveling through time, I was raised by a little brat

After reporting to His Majesty, Dai Qiuhua changed back into women's clothes. She was still in her prime. Before, when she was in the bandits' lair, although she was dressed as a scholar, she looked like she was in her thirties. Now, after dressing up, she turned out to be a pretty beauty.

Without her own residence, Zhu Jiahui couldn't easily accommodate everyone. Returning to Prince Ning's residence was definitely out of the question. Regardless of whether or not to live there, she had already decided to establish a female household, and her family would no longer be her support. She thought about it and realized she didn't have any good friends in the imperial city, nor did she have the money to pay for so many people from the Huimin Navy to stay in an inn.

After leaving the palace, she was at a loss as to what to do. Walking on the street, she heard gossip about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, saying that he was about to get married with the third daughter of the Duke of Tang.

Dai Qiuhua looked at her expression and said, "How about going to find that lady?" After a few months of getting along, Dai Qiuhua had become Zhu Jiahui's military advisor.

When Zhu Jiahui heard this, her eyes lit up: "Yes! How could I forget about this person! She is just a little young. I wonder if she can help." Zhu Jiahui thought about meeting Tang Wenshu at the New Year's Eve banquet. She was still a little kid at that time. She didn't know if she had made any progress after not seeing her for half a year.

After careful consideration, Zhu Jiahui finally made a decision. Dai Qiuhua quickly found a small beggar and asked him to go ahead to the Duke of Tang's mansion to inform them. After all, they were going to the palace to meet the emperor, so they did not bring any other entourage with them. They were still waiting outside the city.

You know, these aristocratic families are always well-informed about news. Just now, the imperial court issued a decree conferring the title of Princess to Zhu Jiahui and promoting her to the rank of Fifth-Rank Pacifier. By the time Zhu Jiahui and Dai Qiuhua arrived at the gate of the Duke of Tang's mansion, the entire mansion had already heard the news.

Madam Wu Yu, the eldest wife, had been waiting at the gates long beforehand, leading a large and impressive group. Clearly, they were fully prepared to welcome the newly appointed pacification envoy. However, Zhu Jiahui completely ignored Madam Wu, who was standing at the front, and instead walked straight towards Tang Wenshu, who stood a little further behind her.

Zhu Jiahui smiled, her eyes fixed on Tang Wenshu, and said, "Long time no see! Don't you plan to invite me to sit in your yard?" Faced with this situation, even though Tang Wenshu was reluctant, due to Zhu Jiahui's extremely noble status, she had no choice but to respond, "Of course you are most welcome. Please follow me." So, Zhu Jiahui followed Tang Wenshu into the yard where she lived in a dignified manner.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Princess Zhu Jiahui walked to a chair and sat down naturally, as if she were at home. Then, she picked up the teapot with ease and filled herself with a cup of steaming hot tea. Her manners were elegant and skillful. She raised her head slightly and said to Tang Wenshu, who was still standing there in a daze, "You're welcome."

Hearing this, Tang Wenshu couldn't help but pout, muttering to herself: "Who is being rude? We don't seem to be that familiar with each other." However, despite thinking so in her heart, out of politeness, she still did not say these words out loud.

At this time, Zhu Jiahui took a sip of the tea in her hand, and then said bluntly: "I have encountered some small troubles recently, and I hope I can get your help." As she spoke, her demeanor was calm, as if the person in front of her had already been her close friend.

Tang Wenshu was a bit bewildered by this sudden request. She was already a little nervous, and now she felt even more uneasy. She stammered, "Ah... Wh-what is it?"

Zhu Jiahui didn't beat around the bush and directly stated her purpose: "Help me find a suitable place to house my Huimin Navy."

Tang Wenshu looked troubled upon hearing this. After hesitating for a moment, he replied cautiously, "But...but I don't have such a spacious courtyard at home."

Hearing Tang Wenshu's words, Zhu Jiahui couldn't help but chuckle. After the ups and downs of the past six months, she was no longer the innocent little princess she once was. She raised her eyebrows and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Who said we should let them live in your house? What a silly girl."

Tang Wenshu's already large eyes widened into a pair of glittering black gemstones. Her delicate face was filled with deep confusion. Her brows furrowed slightly, and her cherry-like mouth formed a small "O" shape. She asked in disbelief, "Isn't that what you just said?"

"Hey, give me two of your properties outside so I can arrange for people to live in them. We will naturally move out after the princess's mansion is built. Of course, you will also get some benefits!" Zhu Jiahui said as she gently patted Tang Wenshu's shoulder.

Hearing the word "benefits," Tang Wenshu's eyes lit up instantly, glittering like stars in the night sky. She jumped twice in excitement, clasping her hands tightly together before her chest, eagerly demanding, "Benefits? What benefits? Will there be lots of delicious food?" Thinking of all that delicious food, Tang Wenshu couldn't help but lick her lips, her lips curling upwards in an innocent smile.

However, she immediately dropped her head like a deflated ball and said dejectedly, "But...but I don't have any property outside."

After hearing this, Zhu Jiahui was stunned for a moment, then sighed helplessly and shook her head gently, saying, "That's right, you are still so young, the Duke's Mansion probably hasn't had time to buy you a property yet."

At this moment, Tang Wenshu's eyes suddenly lit up. She raised her head and said with joy on her face: "But my elder brother has it! I will ask him after he returns home. He will be back after noon today. Calculating the time, today is the Imperial College's holiday!" After that, she began to count on her fingers, looking forward to her elder brother's return with joy.

"There are still two hours left, Shushu," Zhu Jiahui said with a smile, her clear, melodious voice breaking the brief silence in the room. "That's what the prince calls you, right? Tell me, how did you two get together? You know, he's never been interested in women since he was a child!"

Hearing this, Tang Wenshu was stunned. He couldn't help but mutter to himself: This topic is too broad! The relationship between him and the prince is clearly not that kind of relationship. However, facing Zhu Jiahui's eyes full of curiosity and expectation, he didn't know where to start.

Just as this slightly awkward atmosphere continued to spread, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, followed by Pei Qingqing's announcement: "The eldest young master has returned home, he's coming this way!"

Tang Wenshu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, thinking that they could finally stop discussing this embarrassing topic. Zhu Jiahui frowned slightly, seeming a little unhappy about being interrupted, but quickly regained her composure, a faint smile appearing on her lips.
