The Eldest Daughter Returns with Power

"Miss, you've been in the manor for so many days now, and the Third Prince stays here with you every night except for official business. The other concubines in the manor are practically dying of jealousy," Xiangling said while massaging Su Ning'er's legs. Su Ning'er narrowed her eyes slightly, a smug smile appearing on her face: "Hmph, let them be jealous all they want. I'm a woman of substance; I can keep the Third Prince by my side, and it's not just my beauty that's keeping him." As she spoke, she gently stroked her cheek, a hint of confidence flashing in her eyes.

Xiangling continued, "Miss, you must seize this opportunity and try to conceive as soon as possible. Once you give birth to the young prince, your position will be even more secure." Su Ning'er nodded, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes, "Yes, I also hope to give birth to an heir for the Third Prince soon. However, this matter cannot be rushed; it depends on fate." After speaking, she picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and smiled slightly, revealing a sense of confidence and composure.

"Miss, you must be careful of those concubines. They will definitely try to frame you and make you lose the Third Prince's favor," Xiangling warned. Su Ning'er sneered, "Don't worry, I'm not so easy to bully. If those concubines dare to lay a hand on me, I will make them pay the price." As she spoke, a ruthless glint flashed in her eyes.

Just then, an announcement came from outside the door: "The Third Prince has arrived!" Su Ning'er quickly rose to greet him, a joyful smile on her face. The Third Prince strode in, dressed in a magnificent robe, exuding elegance and extraordinary handsomeness. His gaze fell tenderly on Su Ning'er, filled with a hint of doting affection.

Su Ning'er was overjoyed and quickly curtsied, saying, "This concubine greets the Third Prince." Her voice was clear and melodious, full of respect and joy. The Third Prince strode forward, helped Su Ning'er up, and said with a smile, "There's no need for such formalities in front of me." His tone was kind and gentle, making one feel warm.

Seeing this, Xiangling tactfully withdrew and closed the door behind her. The room was now empty except for the two of them, creating a warm and intimate atmosphere. The Third Prince took Su Ning'er's hand and sat down beside her on the bed. His gaze was fixed on her as he softly asked, "How have you been today?" Su Ning'er nodded slightly and replied shyly, "I'm fine, but I miss Your Highness a little."

The Third Prince smiled and reached out to pull Su Ning'er into his arms. Su Ning'er leaned against his chest, feeling his warmth and heartbeat. She closed her eyes, savoring this moment of happiness and peace. The Third Prince gently stroked her hair and whispered, "I missed you too." The two embraced like that, their breaths mingling, as if time had stopped.

After a while, the Third Prince slowly released Su Ning'er, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes. He said softly, "Ning'er, the situation in the court has become increasingly complex recently, and I need to act more cautiously." Su Ning'er raised her head, looking at the Third Prince, her eyes full of worry. She held his hand tightly and said, "I understand, Your Highness is working hard for the great cause. No matter when or where, I will support Your Highness."

The Third Prince looked at Su Ning'er with emotion, his heart filled with gratitude and love. He gently kissed her forehead and said, "With you by my side, I feel incredibly at ease. I'm just afraid I'm making you feel wronged." The two embraced again, quietly enjoying this rare moment of peace.

Su Ning'er gently shook her head, looking firmly at the Third Prince, and said softly, "I don't feel wronged at all to be able to stay by Your Highness's side." Her voice was gentle yet firm, as if expressing the loyalty and love deep in her heart.

The Third Prince held Su Ning'er tightly, feeling the warmth of her body, his heart filled with emotion. He looked at her intently, his eyes shining, and said earnestly, "When I achieve my great goal, I will certainly not let you down." His tone was firm and powerful.

Upon hearing this, Su Ning'er's eyes welled up with tears. She nodded slightly, her eyes revealing her dependence on the Third Prince, and softly replied, "This concubine believes in Your Highness."

Just then, a gust of wind suddenly swept in from outside the window, causing the curtains to flutter. The Third Prince slowly stood up, walked to the window, closed it, then turned back to Su Ning'er and embraced her once more. The night had deepened, and the flickering candlelight illuminated their intertwined figures, a scene of warmth and tranquility.

Su Ning'er nestled in the Third Prince's arms, enjoying the tranquility. After a while, she softly spoke, "Your Highness, I have a request." Her voice was gentle, tinged with anticipation.

The Third Prince looked down at her and asked with a smile, "Go ahead and say it." His fingers gently twirled a strand of Su Ning'er's hair.

Su Ning'er raised her head, looking at the Third Prince with eyes full of tenderness. She said softly, "Your Highness wishes to accompany me back to the General's Mansion. My parents are not in the capital, but I grew up under the care of my grandmother and aunt. I have been away from home for a long time and miss them dearly. I wish to go back and visit my grandmother." Her words revealed a deep longing.

After speaking, Su Ning'er quietly lay in the Third Prince's arms, her small hands gently stroking his chest, as if waiting for his response. The Third Prince felt her movement, and a doting smile appeared on his lips. He gently stroked Su Ning'er's hair and said tenderly, "Okay, I promise you."

Upon hearing this, Su Ning'er's face was filled with joy: "Thank you, Your Highness. I knew Your Highness would agree." Her eyes sparkled with a bright light, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a hint of smugness.

"You little vixen..." A deep, husky voice echoed from inside the room, tinged with doting affection. His gaze gently fell upon Su Ning'er, a smile playing on his lips. "Your Highness," Su Ning'er's shy voice rang out, filled with tenderness and affection. Her eyes shimmered like spring water, her cheeks flushed, like a blooming peach blossom.

As the night deepened, their affection grew stronger. They slept in each other's arms, their breaths mingling, as if the whole world had shrunk to just the two of them.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window into the room. The Third Prince and Su Ning'er rose early to prepare for their return to the General's Mansion. Su Ning'er had dressed herself carefully, wearing a light blue dress that billowed in the wind, making her look like a fairy descending to earth. Her face radiated a happy smile, and she was breathtakingly beautiful. The Third Prince looked at Su Ning'er, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes. He personally draped a white cloak over her shoulders, saying gently, "It's windy outside, don't catch a cold." Su Ning'er nodded, her eyes filled with gratitude. Afterward, they sent someone to the General's Mansion to inform them that the Second Miss was returning that day.

Throughout the journey, Su Ning'er was in exceptionally high spirits. She frequently glanced out the carriage window, her eyes filled with anticipation. The Third Prince held her hand tightly the entire time. Finally, they arrived at the General's Mansion, where everyone had been waiting for a long time. Su Ning'er's grandmother and aunt came out to greet them, their eyes filled with joy and excitement. Su Ning'er threw herself into her grandmother's arms, tears streaming down her face. "Grandmother, I'm back!" she choked out. Her grandmother gently patted her back, comforting her, "It's good you're back, it's good you're back." Su Ning'er looked up at her grandmother's kind face, her heart filled with gratitude.

Afterwards, Su Ning'er exchanged a few more pleasantries with her aunt. Her aunt took her hand and asked with concern, "Ning'er, how have you been these days? Have you suffered any grievances?" Su Ning'er shook her head and smiled, "No, the Third Prince treats me very well, and I'm very happy." Hearing Su Ning'er say this, her aunt nodded in relief.
