The Prince's Beloved Little Wife

After returning from Prince Jing's residence, the Crown Prince and his entourage rested for a full day until they were fully recovered and full of energy. The next morning, the Crown Princess and the other princesses unanimously dispatched their most trusted attendants, carrying carefully prepared spiritual spring water, to their maternal homes. These attendants carried exquisite bottles and jars filled with the legendary spiritual spring water, each drop seemingly containing endless mystery and power.

Before the attendants departed, the Crown Princess and the princesses specifically instructed them that this spiritual spring water was extraordinary, containing a remarkable power, which His Highness Prince An had obtained by chance during a rare opportunity. They earnestly instructed the attendants to convey the preciousness and wonder of this gift to their families. It was said that for those with profound inner strength, drinking this spiritual spring water could further enhance their power, allowing them to reach a higher level of cultivation; even those suffering from minor ailments could recover quickly and be cured instantly upon drinking it, as if it possessed the magic of bringing the dead back to life.

Even more remarkably, this spiritual spring water is an exceptional beauty and skin-nourishing choice for women. It can rejuvenate the skin, giving it a youthful glow and ensuring a lasting youthful appearance. Therefore, the Crown Princess and the princesses specifically instructed that this precious treasure be used only by their own families and should never be revealed to outsiders to avoid unnecessary trouble and conflict. After all, this is a rare treasure with immeasurable value.

The Crown Prince and Prince Wen kept only a portion of the spiritual spring water for their own use, placing the rest on the carriage to be presented to their father, mother, and concubines upon entering the palace. At the same time, the medicinal herbs they had gathered at Prince Jing's residence were also loaded onto the carriage, intended to be sent to the Imperial Hospital where the physicians would carefully process them into pills and powders for unforeseen circumstances.

Just as the Crown Prince and Prince Wen were preparing to enter the palace, they suddenly received a message from Prince Jing's secret guards. The message informed them that their younger brother and sister-in-law/third sister-in-law would be hosting a family reunion banquet with the Grand Tutor at his residence the following day. Upon hearing this, they immediately pledged their attendance and support, vowing not to allow anyone to offend her. After all, she was the apple of their royal family's eye, and they could not afford to let anything go wrong with her.

Afterwards, they quickly entered the palace and hurried straight to the Imperial Medical Academy. Upon arrival, they took out the carefully prepared precious medicinal herbs and neatly arranged them before the imperial physicians. Chen Mengyao had meticulously written the name and effects of each herb on the top of each box so that the physicians could easily understand them.

Upon seeing these rare medicinal herbs, the imperial physicians were astonished. Some of these herbs they had only read about in ancient medical books, always believing them to be legendary, never expecting to see so many in person. Just as they were about to inquire about the origin of the herbs, His Highness the Crown Prince spoke up: "These were all gathered by Prince An from afar in a mysterious Valley of Medicine Kings. These herbs are extremely precious; you must be extremely careful in processing them into pills and powders, and not waste a single drop."

The imperial physicians nodded repeatedly, solemnly agreeing to the Crown Prince's request. To thank them for their hard work, the Crown Prince specially brought out some precious spiritual spring water, smiling as he said to them, "This is also divine water found by Prince An; its effects are extraordinary. A sip when you're tired will not only quickly relieve fatigue but also eliminate some minor ailments. To thank you for your hard work in preparing the medicine, I'm giving you some as a reward. If the pills and powders you make are of superior quality, I will reward you even more handsomely."

The imperial physicians were moved to tears upon hearing that such fine spring water was being offered to them, and they all said, "Your Highness, please rest assured, we will do our utmost to fulfill your trust." The Crown Prince and his entourage nodded with great satisfaction upon hearing the physicians' assurances before turning to leave.

After leaving the Imperial Medical Academy, they went to Emperor Mingsheng's study. Each of them carefully selected several bottles of spiritual spring water to present to the emperor. Inside the study, they recounted everything that had happened at the villa, including helping Chen Mengyao upgrade her space. When they spoke of the upgraded functions of Chen Mengyao's space, they became especially animated, particularly the most advanced features, which left everyone in awe.

Finally, they mentioned that Chen Mengyao would be holding a family reunion banquet at the Grand Tutor's residence the next day. Emperor Mingsheng was overjoyed upon hearing this, feeling that Chen Mengyao was truly a rare treasure, that his son was incredibly fortunate, and that their Dongling Kingdom was extremely lucky to have such a blessed person. When he learned that his son had chosen the Grand Tutor as his daughter-in-law's godfather, he felt even more that his son was exceptionally clever to have such a high-ranking official as the Grand Tutor as his wife's godfather. Therefore, he immediately decided that he would also bring the Empress to support Chen Mengyao the next day. Actually, he had a small selfish motive in mind: he wanted to take this opportunity to have Chen Mengyao show him the changed space.

The princes were overjoyed to hear that their father was also going. After exchanging a few more words with Emperor Mingsheng, they each took some spiritual spring water to find their mothers. When all the concubines heard their sons say that Chen Mengyao's space had become so powerful after its upgrade, they were all speechless with astonishment. They all begged their sons to find an opportunity to bring her to the palace to see her. The princes nodded helplessly, then each made an excuse to slip away.

Since returning from Prince Jing's residence, the little princess had indeed followed Chen Mengyao's instructions, spending as much time as possible reading the books. She discovered that the knowledge within was truly profound and extensive, greatly benefiting her. She couldn't help but admire her third sister-in-law, Chen Mengyao, even more, feeling that her sister-in-law was incredibly thoughtful. After all, she had never met any men other than her imperial brother, and without reading these books, she might have been easily deceived. Therefore, she decided that the next time she saw Chen Mengyao, she would definitely thank her properly.

Meanwhile, she also learned from her mother that tomorrow was the big day for Chen Mengyao to recognize her relatives. She decided to go out of the palace to see the excitement. So, she used all her charm to beg her crown prince brother and all her brothers to take her out. They couldn't persuade her otherwise, so they reluctantly agreed to come and pick her up the next day. The little princess then happily returned home and began to think about what gift she should give to her third sister-in-law.

Upon returning to their residences, the other princes eagerly informed their wives of the news. The wives, upon hearing this, were all exceptionally excited and rushed to their respective storerooms to carefully search and select the most precious and exquisite gifts, intending to present them to that special person—Chen Mengyao.

However, Chen Mengyao, who was sitting comfortably in her room, was completely unaware of all this. She held a tablet computer in her hands, browsing various information on the screen with a focused and relaxed expression. Time passed quietly, and before she knew it, it was almost noon. Her stomach began to rumble, reminding Chen Mengyao that she needed to eat to replenish her energy. So, she slowly stood up and walked towards the dining room.

Entering the dining room, a table laden with delicious dishes was neatly arranged, their aroma filling the air. Chen Mengyao sat down with delight and began to feast. After devouring the food, she patted her slightly bulging belly contentedly, then returned to her previous seat, continuing to immerse herself in the wonderful world presented by her tablet.
