The Prince's Beloved Little Wife

After joyfully completing their task of gathering medicinal herbs, the group arrived together at the mysterious spring. The spring was crystal clear, its water rippling, as if concealing endless secrets and magical powers.

Just then, Chen Mengyao closed her eyes slightly, concentrated her mind, and used her unique mental abilities to easily take out a bunch of glass cups from the supermarket.

"Everyone, come and taste the spiritual spring water from this well!" Chen Mengyao greeted everyone warmly with a gentle smile, her bright eyes sparkling with anticipation. She handed out crystal-clear cups to each person surrounding her, the cups seemingly becoming even more dazzling because they contained spiritual spring water, emitting a faint glow.

After receiving the cups, everyone curiously looked at the crystal-clear spring water. The water was as pure as crystal, and when gently shaken, it seemed to contain some mysterious power. Following Chen Mengyao's invitation, they carefully tasted it. Instantly, a sweet and slightly cool spring water slid down their throats, making them feel involuntarily comfortable and pleasant.

Next, Chen Mengyao took out many large porcelain bottles from the supermarket. These bottles were neatly arranged in front of her, and she smiled, indicating that everyone could fill them with spring water and take them home to slowly enjoy this gift from nature.

And she herself didn't forget to enjoy this wonderful experience. She gently picked up a cup, scooped up some more spring water, and slowly brought it to her lips, closing her eyes to savor it. At that moment, her face radiated satisfaction and happiness, as if her entire being had been cleansed by the clear spring, becoming exceptionally peaceful and pure.

Unable to contain their excitement, everyone eagerly reached for the cups, quickly scooping up the full cups of spring water from the well. The moment the cool, clear water touched their lips, a sweet and delicious flavor immediately filled their mouths. This wonderful taste was simply intoxicating, leaving them completely captivated.

"Wow, this is so delicious!" someone exclaimed. The others nodded in agreement, their faces beaming with satisfaction.

However, something unexpected happened. Not long after, the Crown Prince, Ouyang Han, Prince Wen, Prince Duan, and the Ouyang couple, along with Ouyang Yu and Ouyang Shuang, who were practicing martial arts, suddenly felt their internal energy begin to surge uncontrollably. This anomaly initially surprised them, but they quickly realized it might be a rare opportunity for a breakthrough. Therefore, they dared not delay, immediately finding a quiet place to sit, closing their eyes, and beginning to concentrate on cross-legged meditation, circulating their energy and guiding the restless internal energy through their meridians.

Meanwhile, the women also experienced noticeable changes after drinking the spring water. Their minor discomforts and ailments miraculously disappeared. They felt incredibly relaxed, as if all fatigue and pain had been swept away. Not only that, but their complexions became rosy, radiating a healthy and captivating glow. Furthermore, a faint fragrance seemed to linger around them, making them feel refreshed and invigorated.

Chen Mengyao took a deep breath, savoring the wonderful fragrance, feeling as if she were enveloped in a gentle aroma. At the same time, she was pleasantly surprised to find that the fatigue she had accumulated throughout the day receded like a receding tide, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye! At this moment, Chen Mengyao couldn't help but exclaim, "This spiritual spring water is truly miraculous! Just one use has brought such a remarkable effect, instantly restoring my energy, as if I've been reborn. It's even better than that Azure Sea Elixir. That Azure Sea Elixir is so precious; I'll just auction it off or save it for later."

After about fifteen minutes, the group finally stood up slowly. At this moment, they could clearly feel their internal energy flowing like a surging river, much stronger than before. Moreover, the martial arts bottleneck that had been troubling them for so long had suddenly been resolved! This miraculous change filled everyone with excitement.

They felt incredibly relaxed, as if a tremendous burden had been lifted from their bodies, and every cell was brimming with vitality. Even their breathing became exceptionally smooth, and they felt completely rejuvenated, refreshed and full of energy. Even more surprisingly, they could smell a refreshing fragrance emanating from themselves, a delicate and pleasant scent that soothed and delighted them.

"Wow, this spiritual spring water is truly amazing!" one of them exclaimed. The others nodded in agreement, secretly glad that they had helped their wives/sisters-in-law/third sisters-in-law upgrade their spaces, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to obtain such wonderful things.

Thinking of this, everyone's gaze fell upon the empty bottles lying on the ground. Without hesitation, they quickly bent down, picked up the bottles, and carefully walked to the spring, placing the bottle openings against the spring's source to begin filling them with the spring water. Joy and anticipation filled everyone's faces; they wished they could fill all the spring water to take home so their loved ones could also enjoy this miraculous blessing.

The Crown Princess and the other princesses eagerly joined the procession of collecting the sacred spring water. They carefully filled bottle after bottle with exquisite porcelain, afraid of wasting this rare and divine gift, intending to have it delivered to their families to taste this blessing from heaven. However, while passing on this precious gift, they also knew they had to keep its origin a secret to protect their generous sister-in-law/third sister-in-law from any potential danger or disturbance.

Therefore, they gathered together, their brows furrowed, racking their brains. In the end, the sisters-in-law wove a clever lie together, claiming that the spiritual spring water was a "divine water" that the fifth brother Ouyang Yan and the second sister Ouyang Shuang accidentally discovered during their adventures in the martial world. It was both mysterious and legendary. They also informed their husbands, telling them not to let it slip.

After confirming that each bottle of the sacred spring water was properly sealed, filled with their love and blessings for their family, they stopped what they were doing, satisfied. They agreed that if they wanted to taste this nectar from the sacred spring again in the future, they could simply come to their younger brother/sister-in-law anytime. This ensured both the continuous supply of the sacred spring and the preservation of their precious secret.

Chen Mengyao summoned several spacious and sturdy shopping carts with her mind. These carts were not only well-designed but also had extremely strong load-bearing capacity, perfectly meeting her needs. She handed these carts to everyone one by one, gently gesturing for them to carefully place the high-quality medicinal herbs and invaluable spiritual spring water she had meticulously selected onto the carts.

Of course, Chen Mengyao also picked out quite a few good things for herself. Beside her, Ouyang Han was considerately helping her push a shopping cart full of medicinal herbs and spiritual spring water. With Ouyang Han pushing, the shopping cart moved steadily forward, as if even its weight had become lighter.

Everyone cooperated by placing their boxes of medicinal herbs and porcelain bottles filled with spiritual spring water onto the carts. The Crown Prince, along with several other dignified and elegant princes and their consorts, volunteered to push the carts. With upright postures and steady steps, the shopping carts, pushed by them, seemed to transform into small boats laden with their spoils, carrying their joy and satisfaction.

Their faces beamed with the joy and satisfaction of returning home with a bountiful harvest—a heartfelt expression of love for life. They embarked on their journey home, their hearts filled with deep longing and love for their families. This love was so profound and sincere, it seemed tangible, weighing heavily on their hearts, bringing them warmth and a sense of security. They knew that no matter how noisy and restless the outside world might be, as long as they returned to their loving and warm home, all weariness and worries would vanish. Home was their eternal harbor, the refuge of their souls.

Beside the Crown Prince, several princes, and two princesses, each was accompanied by a gentle, dignified, and virtuous lady. Some of these ladies were talking softly, while others gazed tenderly at their husbands, their eyes filled with endless admiration and deep love, as if the whole world had become gentler because of this affection.

However, amidst this warm and harmonious scene, a small figure appeared somewhat lonely. Princess Ouyang Yao pushed a shopping cart alone, walking silently behind them; her small figure stood out conspicuously in the crowd. Perhaps noticing the princess's melancholy, Chen Mengyao gently pulled the princess to her side and teased her with a playful tone, "Looking at you all alone, are you envious of us being a happy couple? Why don't you go and ask your father, the Emperor, to choose a suitable husband for you too!"

Upon hearing Chen Mengyao's words, Princess Chang Le's cheeks instantly flushed crimson. She lowered her head shyly, but couldn't help but let a sweet, slightly bashful smile appear on her lips. At that moment, the little princess's heart was perhaps also filled with longing and anticipation for a bright future.

On their return journey, the Crown Prince and the princes exchanged smiles, having reached a shared decision. They decided to wait until their return trip the next day to bring out these precious medicinal herbs and spiritual spring water to share their joy and harvest with their families. For now, to ensure the safety of these treasures, they decided to temporarily store them in Chen Mengyao's magical space. Chen Mengyao's space could contain everything and protected countless precious items from external disturbances. Storing the medicinal herbs and spiritual spring water there was undoubtedly the safest choice.

So, they carefully placed the medicinal herbs and the spiritual spring water into Chen Mengyao's spatial dimension, as if entrusting a heavy burden of love and responsibility to this mysterious land. They knew that tomorrow, when these precious items appeared before their family, they would bring endless joy and surprise. And for now, they only needed to quietly wait for that moment to arrive, their hearts filled with anticipation and happiness.

Chen Mengyao and her group were immersed in that mysterious and wondrous space for several hours, as if time itself had been gently stretched out there, each moment filled with endless surprises and the joy of exploration. Finally, when they contentedly ended their spatial journey and stepped out of that magical realm back into the spacious and bright hall, they discovered that only a few minutes had passed in the outside world. This wondrous experience made them marvel at the mystery and wonder of time and space.

In the hall, everyone bid farewell, their faces beaming with satisfaction and joy. Each carrying their own experiences of the day, they returned to their rooms contentedly. The Crown Prince and his entourage, upon returning to their rooms, were even more deeply moved. They sat together, excitedly discussing their day's events, as if every detail was worth savoring.

"What a bountiful harvest we've had today!" the Crown Prince exclaimed first. "The delicious food was simply unforgettable. And we've also obtained so many precious treasures—it's an immense fortune!"

The others nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with gratitude and admiration for Chen Mengyao. "Yes, it's all thanks to our sister-in-law/third sister-in-law! She's practically a lucky star who's come to bring blessings to our country!" someone exclaimed excitedly. "She not only let us taste unprecedented delicacies, but also gave us these precious treasures. We will never forget such kindness!"

“That’s right. We must protect her from now on and not let her secret be revealed,” the Crown Prince said solemnly. “She is a treasure of our country, and we cannot let her suffer any harm.”

Everyone nodded in agreement, their hearts filled with gratitude and a desire to protect Chen Mengyao. In this atmosphere, they gradually relaxed, and drowsiness crept in. Thinking about today's gains and future plans, they all wore relieved smiles, finally returning to their rooms and drifting off into sweet dreams.
