The Prince's Beloved Little Wife

Chen Mengyao woke up from her afternoon nap. Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains, dappling her face and bringing a warm, languid atmosphere. She gently rubbed her eyes, stretched, and seemed to have absorbed the comfort of her nap into the movement. Then, she picked up a glass of spring water from the table and took a small sip. The water was clear and sweet, seemingly imbued with the spirit of nature, instantly making her feel refreshed and invigorated.

After tidying up her slightly disheveled clothes and hair, Chen Mengyao eagerly took out the travel plan she had meticulously prepared for herself and Emperor Mingsheng's group. The plan was originally arranged to start domestically, but after careful consideration, she decided to change her strategy and begin this long-awaited trip abroad first.

Her first stop was Egypt in Africa. There, with its mysterious pyramids and ancient pharaoh civilization, Chen Mengyao had always longed to visit that land shrouded in mystery. She imagined herself standing beneath the pyramids, gazing up at their majestic structures, feeling the weight and vicissitudes of history. In Egypt, she also planned to take everyone to visit famous sites such as the Luxor Temple and the Nile River, experiencing the exotic customs and unique cultural charm.

After returning from Egypt, Chen Mengyao will fly to Australia. There, she will find vast grasslands, azure seas, and adorable koalas. She plans to explore Australia's natural scenery and cultural landscapes, hoping they will provide her with a completely new visual and spiritual experience.

Next, Chen Mengyao will travel to the United States. There, she will find bustling cities, advanced technology, and a rich entertainment culture. She plans to visit the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, and Central Park in New York; the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Universal Studios, and Disneyland in Los Angeles; and the Golden Gate Bridge and Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco. The diverse culture and modern atmosphere of the United States will surely broaden her horizons.

Afterwards, they will continue their journey to England, where ancient castles, magnificent churches, and romantic countryside await. She plans to visit Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, and the British Museum in London; stroll through the ancient campuses and riverbanks of Cambridge; and experience Scottish tradition and charm in Edinburgh. England's elegance and classicism will surely captivate her.

After completing her overseas trip, Chen Mengyao will return to Asia to begin her domestic travels. Her first stop is Hong Kong and the nearby city of Shenzhen. There, she'll find bustling shopping districts, modern skyscrapers, and unique Lingnan culture. She plans to rediscover the innocence and joy of childhood at Hong Kong Disneyland; and in Shenzhen, she'll visit Window of the World, Happy Valley, and a folk village to experience the customs and cultures of different parts of the world.

Next, she will travel to Machap and its neighbor, Chulia. There, she will find captivating island scenery, delicious cuisine, and a rich history and culture. In Machap, she plans to visit the Ruins of St. Paul's, the Venetian Macao, and the Machap Tower; in Chulia, she will stroll along Lovers' Road, visit the Fisher Girl statue, and the Old Summer Palace. The unique charm of Machap and Chulia will surely enchant her.

Afterwards, Chen Mengyao will travel to Hainan Province, Fujian Province, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and the Inner Mongolia grasslands. There, she will find the mystery of tropical rainforests, the beauty of islands, the vastness of deserts, and the expanse of grasslands. She plans to enjoy the sun, sand, and seafood on the islands; visit Gulangyu Island, Wuyi Mountain, and Tulou in Fujian; admire Tianchi Lake, Kanas Lake, and the vineyards of Turpan in Xinjiang; and experience the vastness and magnificence of the Inner Mongolia grasslands.

Finally, she will return to Meizhou and Chaozhou in Guangdong Province, where the rich Hakka and Chaoshan cultures thrive. In Meizhou, she plans to visit the Ye Jianying Memorial Hall, Yan Nanfei Tea Plantation, and Lingguang Temple; in Chaozhou, she will savor authentic Chaoshan beef balls, beef hot pot, and Kung Fu tea. The simplicity and warmth of the Hakka and Chaoshan people will make her feel truly at home.

If time permits, Chen Mengyao plans to visit other cities in Guangdong Province, such as Qingcheng and Zhongcheng. If time is tight, she will return directly to Guangzhou to end this month-long trip. Regardless of the outcome, she believes it will be an unforgettable journey, bringing her endless laughter and memories.

She meticulously recorded every detail of her carefully planned trip, including the destination of each stop, the expected length of stay, the attractions she wanted to visit, and even the daily itinerary. Her neat and strong handwriting revealed her anticipation and excitement for the trip. After completing these records, she didn't stop for a moment and immediately moved on to the next preparation—searching for famous hotels and unique restaurants in each location.

She knew that although the intelligent robot Lingyue accompanied them, providing convenient navigation and various practical information, she still believed that making some plans herself would allow her to better control the pace and details of the entire trip. While Lingyue was intelligent, it could never completely replace human thought and feeling. She hoped that through her own efforts, she could make the trip even more perfect, filling every moment with surprise and beauty.

She turned on her computer, her fingers flying across the keyboard as web pages scrolled by. She meticulously studied hotel reviews, locations, and amenities for each destination, striving to find the best value and most suitable accommodation for her family. At the same time, she didn't forget to search for local restaurants, hoping to savor the most authentic cuisine and experience the flavors and cultures of different places.

During this process, she also took Lingyue out of her spatial dimension and communicated with her from time to time, asking specific questions or seeking more advice. Lingyue was always able to give quick and accurate answers, providing her with a lot of useful information. Even so, she still insisted on making the plans herself, because she enjoyed the process of preparing and planning personally, which filled her with even more anticipation and excitement for the upcoming trip.

Time slipped by unnoticed, and evening arrived in the blink of an eye. Standing by the window, gazing at the gradually fading scenery, she felt a sense of peace and contentment. She knew that once Emperor Mingsheng and her parents returned that evening, they could officially begin preparations for their trip. Her heart swelled with excitement and joy, as if she could already see them laughing and enjoying their journey.

After dinner, the family sat together, and she began to report her plans to them. She opened her notebook on the table, pointing to the itinerary and hotel booking information, explaining every detail in detail. Emperor Mingsheng, the other empresses, her parents, and her sisters listened with great interest, nodding in agreement from time to time. Seeing Chen Mengyao's meticulous preparation for this trip filled them with pride and satisfaction.

"It seems you are well prepared," Emperor Mingsheng said with a smile. "We just need to follow your plan."

Hearing Emperor Mingsheng's words, a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She knew that this trip was not just a simple outing, but also a beautiful memory for her whole family. She hoped to make this trip even more unforgettable and meaningful through her own efforts.

Over the next period of time, they busied themselves packing and preparing their belongings. She carefully organized every piece of clothing and personal item that needed to be brought and placed them in her suitcase. There was no need to bring too much else, as she had everything she needed. At the same time, she reminded her family of things to pay attention to and items to prepare, especially their ID cards and passports, to ensure they could depart smoothly.

During this process, she also sent WeChat messages to several drivers, asking them to pick them up from the villa the next day to go to the airport. The drivers quickly replied, indicating that they understood her arrangements and promising to arrive on time. This made her feel very reassured and satisfied, because she knew that with the help of these drivers, their trip would be more convenient and smoother. Next, Chen Mengyao also booked hotels at their destination in advance, reserving several different types of rooms according to each person's requirements.

Night fell, and the entire villa was enveloped in tranquility. She lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Her heart was filled with anticipation and longing for the upcoming trip, as if she were already on that distant and mysterious land, experiencing different landscapes and cultures. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and immersed herself in this beautiful imagination.

The next morning, she woke up as the first rays of sunlight streamed into the room through the curtains. She quickly washed up, dressed neatly, and prepared to greet the new day. She went to the window, drew back the curtains, and looked out at the bright sunshine and fresh air, her heart filled with joy and exhilaration.

A short while later, the drivers arrived as promised. They politely knocked on the villa's door and greeted her and her family with smiles. After she loaded her luggage into the car, she and her family got in. As the car slowly started moving, they embarked on their journey to the airport.

Throughout the journey, she chatted with her family and enjoyed the scenery outside the window. She frequently checked her phone for flight information and weather conditions at their destination, ensuring everything was under control. At the same time, she remained attentive to her family's needs and feelings, making sure they had a comfortable trip.

Finally, after a long drive, they arrived at the airport safely. She helped her family check in and through security before heading to the departure lounge. Looking at the excitement and anticipation on their faces, she felt a deep sense of satisfaction and happiness. She knew this trip would be a cherished memory for the whole family, one of the most precious experiences of their lives.

During the long wait, time seemed to slow down and feel heavy. But she didn't feel bored or impatient, because she knew that every wait was for a better encounter and a better beginning. She sat quietly in the waiting hall, sharing stories and feelings with her family, savoring this rare tranquility and warmth.

Finally, it was time to board. They followed the flow of people slowly to the gate and boarded their flight to their destination. On the plane, she watched the city shrink and the scenery recede into the distance outside the window, her heart filled with curiosity and longing for the unknown world. She knew this trip would be a completely new journey of exploration and discovery; they would meet different people, experience different things, and feel different cultures. And all of this would become the most precious treasures and memories of their lives.

As the plane slowly landed at its destination airport, she knew their journey had officially begun. She led her family out of the airport terminal, welcoming this unfamiliar and mysterious land. She took a deep breath, immersing herself in this new atmosphere, feeling the call and anticipation from afar. She knew this trip would be an unforgettable adventure and challenge; they would measure this land with their own footsteps and experience its beauty and wonder with their own hearts.
