The Prince's Beloved Little Wife

So, Chen Mengyao handed all the various delicacies she had taken out to Xiaobai one by one. After watching it enjoy them, she gently picked it up and left the space together. Back in the real world, she returned to her bedside and sank back into the soft bedding. She casually picked up her tablet, turned on the currently airing TV series, and hugged Xiaobai in her arms at the same time.

Xiao Bai seemed to sense its owner's warmth, curling up in Chen Mengyao's arms, its bright black eyes fixed on the tablet screen, occasionally glancing up at its owner, as if sharing the joys and sorrows of the story. Chen Mengyao watched the TV series while occasionally bending down to stroke Xiao Bai's soft fur, a satisfied and happy smile on her face.

The two of them, one human and one pet, nestled quietly in bed, immersed in the vibrant world of TV dramas on their tablets, creating a warm and harmonious scene, as if time had stood still at that moment.

It wasn't until dinner time that she gently picked up Xiaobai and they went into the dining room to enjoy their meal. The soft lighting on the table illuminated their figures, creating a particularly warm and loving atmosphere. After dinner, she continued to hold Xiaobai as they strolled through the moonlit courtyard, enjoying the tranquility and coolness of the night. A gentle breeze carried the fragrance of flowers, a truly refreshing experience.

After her walk, she took Xiaobai back to her bedroom, gently placed it aside, and sat on the edge of the bed, turning on her tablet and immersing herself in the TV series. When the episode ended, she reluctantly put down the tablet, got up, and went to the bathroom to shower and change, preparing for the day to end.

After bathing, she returned to her bedroom and carefully placed Little White into the warm bed she had prepared. She gently held Little White, feeling its soft fur and warm body, her heart filled with contentment and happiness. In the tranquil night, she slowly closed her eyes and drifted into a sweet dream. She knew that tomorrow morning, she would have to get up early to go to the Grand Tutor's residence to fulfill the long-awaited family reunion.

The next morning, just as the sky was beginning to lighten, Chen Mengyao got up early. She softly instructed Xiaobai, who was beside her, to return to its private space, as she had many tasks to attend to that day and wouldn't be able to look after it properly. Xiaobai seemed to understand its master's meaning, obediently nodded, and then transformed into a ray of light, disappearing into thin air.

Chen Mengyao took out her most comfortable shoes from her spatial storage, put them on, and went to wash up. Then, she quietly instructed her maids to bring her the royal blue dress she had bought the day before. The dress was a deep and elegant color, seemingly containing endless depth and tranquility. The maids carefully helped her change, and Chen Mengyao then went to her dressing table and sat down, her expression serene. She instructed Meixiang to style her hair in the most exquisite way possible, one that would be both dignified and graceful, yet gentle and beautiful.

Meixiang obeyed the order and skillfully began to comb Chen Mengyao's long hair, every movement revealing her respect and care for her mistress. Once the hair was styled, Chen Mengyao asked Meixiang to carefully select a set of jewelry from the pieces purchased the day before, one that best complemented her royal blue dress. The jewelry was dazzling, its brilliance echoing the color of the dress and adding a touch of opulence.

With everything prepared, Chen Mengyao picked up her cosmetics and began meticulously applying makeup. Her technique was delicate and precise, each stroke perfectly highlighting her natural beauty. Soon, a fresh, refined, and radiant look appeared in the mirror.

When Chen Mengyao finished dressing and turned to face her maids, they were all stunned. The Chen Mengyao before them seemed like a fairy descended from heaven, breathtakingly beautiful. Her face was like a blooming flower, bright and delicate; her demeanor was like a gentle breeze, graceful and captivating. The maids were full of praise, their hearts filled with reverence and admiration for their mistress.

Chen Mengyao used her mind to retrieve the strawberries, blueberries, grapes, bananas, and various vegetables that she had selected and stored in the cold storage yesterday, and arranged them one by one on the floor of the room. She then instructed the maids to inform the servants to prepare a carriage and load the fruit and vegetables from the room onto it. The maids obeyed, and soon everything was arranged perfectly.

After all the trivial matters were carefully arranged, Chen Mengyao walked with light and elegant steps to the dining table laden with various delicacies, and began to savor the sumptuous breakfast that had been carefully prepared for her. Every bite of food seemed to tell a story of the warmth and tranquility of home, making her feel exceptionally happy.

After breakfast, she didn't rush to get up, but paused for a moment to carefully groom herself in front of the mirror. Only after ensuring her appearance was impeccable did she set off for the Prince Jing's residence, filled with anticipation and joy, to find her beloved Ouyang Han.

The moment Ouyang Han saw Chen Mengyao, he was utterly stunned by the sight before him, standing frozen in place. Chen Mengyao's hair was styled exquisitely, perfectly complementing the jewelry on her head, as if made in heaven. Her dress accentuated her graceful figure to the fullest, every detail revealing her exceptional taste and elegance.

What's even more impressive is Chen Mengyao's exceptional makeup. From her delicate eyeliner to her perfectly chosen lip color, she looks even more radiant and captivating. Ouyang Han knew that when Chen Mengyao appeared before everyone in this state, she would undoubtedly become the center of attention, stunning everyone's gaze.

Ouyang Han exclaimed sincerely, "Yaoyao, you are absolutely breathtakingly beautiful today, like a fairy who stepped out of a painting. Your outstanding performance today will surely impress everyone present." His words were full of appreciation and pride for Yaoyao. After speaking, he gently took her hand and carefully guided her to the luxuriously decorated carriage in the palace.

The carriage slowly started moving, heading towards the Grand Tutor's residence. Following behind it were a dozen or so other carriages laden with various vegetables, fruits, and exquisite pastries. The carriages lined up in a magnificent display, attracting the attention of passersby.

The onlookers, witnessing this spectacular scene, couldn't help but discuss it with curiosity. They didn't know what had happened or why such a large convoy was passing by. An insider, seeing this, quietly revealed the news: "Today is the auspicious day that the Grand Tutor has recognized the newly appointed county princess as his goddaughter."

This news further fueled the public's curiosity. They speculated about the kind of woman who could have such an honor as to be accepted as a goddaughter by the highly respected Grand Tutor. Some said she must be exceptionally talented, others said she might be incomparably beautiful, and still others guessed that she might have an extraordinary family background.

Filled with curiosity and speculation, people flocked to the Grand Tutor's residence. They longed to see this woman who had caught the Grand Tutor's eye and to see what charm she possessed that had won his favor and affection.

Meanwhile, the Crown Prince and several princes, all dressed in magnificent robes and beaming with smiles, carried their carefully prepared gifts as they prepared to head to the Grand Tutor's residence. Beside them, their wives, adorned in splendid gowns, exuded elegance and grace, while their children, also well-dressed and lively, added a touch of warmth and joy to the journey. The large group, filled with anticipation and blessings, embarked on their journey to the Grand Tutor's residence.

Prince An was especially thoughtful; he specially went to the palace to fetch his younger sister, Princess Yongle, to accompany them. Princess Yongle, dressed in her palace attire, was beautiful and charming, and she was also filled with anticipation for her trip to the Grand Tutor's residence. Meanwhile, both princesses and their husbands had already prepared lavish gifts, ready to travel together. Their carriages were decorated with dazzling gold and jade, showcasing the nobility and grandeur of the imperial family.

The luxurious carriages slowly made their way through the streets, once again causing a stir among the people. They stopped to watch and whisper amongst themselves. An insider revealed that the princes were on their way to the Grand Tutor's family reunion banquet. This news only fueled everyone's curiosity. What kind of woman possessed such allure that she could draw several princes to her side?

Driven by curiosity, many more followed the carriage, eager to catch a glimpse of the mysterious woman. The streets bustled with activity, everyone filled with anticipation and curiosity for the family reunion banquet. Inside the carriage, the princes, princesses, and their wives were filled with joy, looking forward to spending a wonderful time at the Grand Tutor's residence and witnessing this momentous family reunion banquet together.

The Grand Tutor's residence was bustling with activity. The entire Grand Tutor's family rose early to arrange for servants to greet the guests, prepared plenty of pastries and tea, and specifically instructed the kitchen to prepare high-yield grains. Ministers arrived one after another, and the Grand Tutor and his family warmly welcomed them, inviting them to sit and wait. Servants brought them even more pastries and tea. Everyone was curious about this county princess, wondering who it was that such a highly respected figure as the Grand Tutor would adopt her as his goddaughter. Outside the Grand Tutor's residence, a large crowd of curious onlookers had gathered.

Soon after, Prince Jing's ornately decorated carriage and large entourage slowly arrived at the grand gate of the Grand Tutor's residence. Upon seeing this, the servants hurried forward, preparing to receive them with utmost respect. Ouyang Han gracefully stepped out of the carriage first, then gently extended a hand to carefully help Chen Mengyao down, displaying impeccable gentlemanly manners.

Next, he instructed his servants to move the fresh vegetables loaded in the following carriages to the kitchen. He then personally took a detailed recipe from Chen Mengyao, outlining various cooking methods for different vegetables, and solemnly handed it to the servants, instructing them to meticulously prepare the evening's dishes according to the recipe. Furthermore, he specifically arranged for some servants to move the colorful fruits and bring them into the hall for the assembled ministers to enjoy. Upon hearing this, the servants immediately sprang into action. Under the direction of the servants accompanying Prince Jing, the servants of the Grand Tutor's residence methodically delivered the vegetables and fruits to their designated locations.

Chen Mengyao looked around and saw that many people were still gathered around, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She immediately instructed her servants to take out various kinds of pastries and fresh fruits, and handed them to these simple and honest people one by one. This sudden act of kindness instantly ignited the atmosphere, and the people cheered and jumped for joy, their faces filled with happiness and gratitude.

Among the crowd were several elderly men who recognized Prince Jing. Pointing to Chen Mengyao, they whispered to those around them, "Look, that gentle and dignified woman beside Prince Jing is the county princess personally bestowed by the Emperor, and also our esteemed Princess Jing of Dongling Kingdom. It is said that it is she who has spared no effort in promoting high-yield grain varieties, which has greatly improved the harvest of our people. She is truly beautiful inside and out. It is a blessing for our Dongling Kingdom to have such a princess!"

After speaking, the old man took the lead in kneeling down and kowtowing deeply several times in the direction of Chen Mengyao, his gratitude overflowing: "Thank you for the generous gift from Princess Jing, and thank you even more for bringing us high-yield grain seeds, which allow us to live a better life."

Seeing this, Chen Mengyao quickly stepped forward and gently helped the old man up with both hands, her eyes full of tenderness and care: "Grandpa, please get up. This is what I should do. As long as the people can live a peaceful and prosperous life, I will be content."

Touched by Chen Mengyao's humility and kindness, the people lingered, eager to witness the heartwarming and solemn moment of the Grand Tutor's family reunion. So, they selected several representatives, and with Ouyang Han's consent, led them into the spacious and bright hall.

As Ouyang Han led Chen Mengyao into the hall, the assembled ministers rose to their feet, their eyes filled with awe and curiosity, and quickly stepped forward to pay their respects. Prince Jing, Ouyang Han, smiled and gestured for everyone to rise. Then, in a proud yet gentle tone, he introduced Chen Mengyao to the ministers: "This is my Queen Consort, and also the newly conferred title of County Princess. She is not only exceptionally beautiful, but also a hero in promoting high-yield grains and various fresh fruits and vegetables. Later, during the meal, you will be able to taste the dishes she has carefully selected and recommended. As for the fruits, they will be served later by the servants so you can also enjoy them."

Only then could everyone admire Chen Mengyao's attire closely, and the scene before them was undoubtedly a visual feast. Chen Mengyao wore a magnificent gown with a deep and mysterious sapphire blue background, like the most dazzling star in the night sky, shimmering with a captivating and enigmatic light, as if the vast universe had been condensed into this magnificent dress. On this deep blue background, the embroiderers skillfully wove intricate and exquisite gold patterns with unparalleled artistry. Every stitch and thread contained the craftsman's superb skills and boundless dedication, leaving everyone in awe.

These golden patterns are not only lifelike and vivid, but also profound in meaning, brimming with rich cultural heritage. The dragon and phoenix motif is particularly eye-catching; the intertwined dragon and phoenix, so lifelike, seem to whisper ancient legends and blessings, conveying auspicious wishes for good fortune and happiness. The dragon in the pattern soars through the clouds, its majestic presence exuding nobility and majesty; the phoenix, with its wings spread high, is beautiful and vibrant, symbolizing good fortune and peace. The two complement each other, further enhancing the elegance of the garment.

The design of the skirt is particularly ingenious, swaying gently with Chen Mengyao's light steps, like the shimmering surface of a lake, sparkling with a delicate and soft luster. A gentle breeze blows, and the skirt sways lightly, adding a touch of ethereal grace, as if Chen Mengyao were a fairy who had mistakenly descended to the mortal world, captivating all who behold her and immersing them in boundless beauty.

Her makeup was truly unique, as if she had stepped out of a classical painting, skillfully blending modern fashion to create a distinctive look. Her eyebrows were meticulously drawn, retaining a natural, flowing beauty while cleverly incorporating modern elements, resulting in a look that was both classic and fashionable. For her eye makeup, she used delicate colors and subtle blending techniques to make her eyes appear deeper and more expressive. Her eyelashes were meticulously styled, each lash distinct, resembling two small fans, capable of captivating the heart with a gentle flutter.

A light blush was swept across her cheeks, the color reminiscent of peach blossoms blooming in the morning light, adding to her charm and loveliness. Her lip makeup was the finishing touch; she chose a vibrant yet elegant lipstick, and with a gentle swipe, her lips blossomed like flowers, both sexy and dignified.

Moreover, her makeup cleverly incorporated her personal style; from the color combinations to the attention to detail, it showcased her unique aesthetic and taste. This makeup made her stand out from the crowd and become the center of attention.

Everyone secretly pondered: No wonder the usually aloof and indifferent Prince Jing was so captivated by this woman named Chen Mengyao; she truly was a beauty beyond compare, unforgettable at first sight. Chen Mengyao's ethereal beauty, like a fairy stepping out of a painting, left the assembled ministers with a very good first impression, secretly praising her.
