Generally speaking, the male and female courtyards should be separated.

However, the courtyard where she lived had three separate courtyards, one of which was prepared for Uncle Yanping.

"Won't your uncle and aunt be angry with you for not spending the New Year in the capital?" Yu Banxia asked, looking at Uncle Yanping.

Uncle Yanping reached out and touched her cheek, his eyes gentle: "Mother knows you exist, and she can't wait for me to bring you back to her so she can see you."

Yu Banxia smiled politely: "Then it's perfect timing to visit your aunt during this trip to the capital to meet the Emperor."

"She must be overjoyed." Uncle Yanping smiled and held her hand.

The two of them just looked at each other quietly.

"Princess, all the wealthy landowners and gentry in the surrounding area have come to pay their respects upon learning of your investiture as a princess."

Yu Zhiyu came personally to report.

Yu Banxia looked at Uncle Yanping, who held her hand and said gently, "I'll go with you to see him."

“Okay.” Yu Banxia nodded, and the two returned to the hall.

The local gentry and wealthy people were talking to Yu Hongwen and Qian Xingzhou.

The women, including Wu, left the hall.

Yu Banxia walked out confidently, led by Uncle Yanping.

"The princess has arrived," Yu Zhiyu announced loudly.

The crowd immediately fell silent, looked at the newcomer, and knelt down.

"We, your humble servants, pay our respects to Princess Yongle and wish her a Happy New Year. We wish her peace, good health, and all the best."

"Get up." Yu Banxia raised her hand slightly.

The gentry and the wealthy man rose.

The local gentry and wealthy people present had all met Yu Banxia before.

It had only been a little over a month since they last met, and he no longer dared to look the princess in the eye.

This woman is truly remarkable.

It is truly admirable that a peasant woman has achieved what she has today in such a short time.

"The man next to me is my fiancé, the General Zhenwei of Southern Jin, and also the heir of the Duke of Ningguo's mansion."

Yu Zhiyu introduced the group of local gentry and wealthy people.

The group immediately knelt down and bowed.

"No need for formalities," Uncle Yanping said.

Yu Banxia looked at everyone and said, "Now that we have exchanged greetings, let my two fathers accompany you all. Please feel more at ease."

After saying that, Yu Banxia and Uncle Yanping left again before they could speak.

The local gentry and wealthy people also breathed a sigh of relief.

The princess and the prince had such a powerful aura that they dared not look directly at them.

Now that Yu Hongwen has re-enrolled in school and his family's financial situation has improved, he is no longer as reserved or afraid of social engagements.

With Qian Xingzhou by their side, both host and guests were delighted.

News of the youngest daughter of the Yu family in Anping Village being granted the title of Princess and the village holding a grand banquet quickly spread.

On the day of my uncle's wedding, people from the entire county came to attend.

Han Yanli's family also arrived at the same time; they were originally scheduled to come on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Han Ziqi told his parents on the first day of the Lunar New Year that he wanted to marry Yu Banyue.

The couple discussed it at home for a long time. It wasn't that they were unwilling, but rather that they felt the Yu family was not a family they could aspire to.

But seeing that his eldest son insisted, he prepared a generous gift and prepared to first sound him out.

If the Yu family agrees, then we will go to propose marriage.

That's why they didn't come until the third year of junior high.

"Master, your disciple wishes you a Happy New Year. May you become more and more beautiful, healthy, safe, and peaceful."

Miao Lan didn't care whether Yu Banxia had accepted her as a disciple or not. Now that she was also learning martial arts, she took it upon herself to call him master.

Yu Banxia smiled and helped her up, giving her a thick red envelope.

"You have such a sweet tongue." Yu Banxia smiled indulgently and tapped her nose.

Miaoyue walked in gracefully and greeted Yu Banxia gently.

"Get up, let me introduce you to my two junior sisters." Yu Banxia helped her up and gave her a large red envelope as well!

Aya and Yao Qianyu approached each other: "Hello, senior sister. I am Aya and this is Yao Qianyu."

"Greetings, junior sisters." Miaoyue smiled gently at them.

Ayali carefully examined Miaoyue, then said to Yu Banxia, ​​"Master, Senior Sister looks somewhat like you."

"Oh?" Yu Banxia raised an eyebrow, looking at her with amusement.

"You two speak in a gentle and soft voice, but Master is different; he has an air of authority."

“Sometimes when he doesn’t speak, he’s even scarier than my father.”

"No wonder Father wants to make you the Empress of the Northern Rong."

Everyone laughed upon hearing Ayali's words.

Han Yanli and his wife were dumbfounded. Had they misheard, or had the girl said something wrong?

The Empress of the Northern Rong?!

"Senior Sister is absolutely right about that. Sometimes when the Emperor stands there without saying a word, he does seem to be filled with a bloodthirsty aura, making people afraid to even breathe."

"But Master's aura was even stronger, as if he were a born superior."

"But Master is also very gentle. He treats everyone equally and never looks down on anyone."

Yao Qianyu praised him from the side.

Yu Banxia smiled and pinched the tips of their noses: "You two little devils have such sweet words."

"Xiaxia greets Uncle Han and Aunt Zhiqiu." Yu Banxia greeted the two.

Startled, Han Yanli quickly stepped aside and hurriedly said, "Princess, you are now the master of the entire Yongle Prefecture, and you are also a princess personally appointed by the Emperor. This humble official cannot accept such a courtesy."

"Uncle Han, are you perhaps looking down on Xiaxia?" Yu Banxia asked with a smile.

Han Yanli quickly waved his hand. Yun Zhi Qiu had figured it out. She smiled gently and stepped forward to hold Yu Banxia's hand.

"Xia girl, you're so thoughtful."

“That’s right. Let’s each talk our own thing. In public, I’ll accept Uncle Han’s greeting.”

"Inside, the reason why my Yueji Rong was able to open up a market in the county was entirely due to the protection and support of Uncle Han and Aunt Zhi Qiu."

"Although I am the master of the Miaoyue sisters, I first recognized them as my uncle and aunt. Let's just talk about our own relationships."

Hearing Yu Banxia's words, the couple felt extremely comforted.

"Uncle Han and Aunt Zhi Qiu came to the Yu family today, not just to pay their respects to me, the newly crowned princess, right?"

As she spoke, she glanced jokingly at her fifth sister, who was hiding next to her mother.

Yun Zhi Qiu's eyes lit up.

"Xiaxia, do you agree?"

"Why would I disagree? It concerns my sister's happiness. Brother Han is a good match for her, and of course I'm willing."

"Besides, Uncle Han and Aunt Zhi Qiu have such good upbringing. Our whole family is at ease with the people you've raised."

When Yu Banxia speaks, she represents the entire Yu family.

Of course, it wasn't her decision-making all at once; it was all discussed with the elders beforehand.

Yun Zhi Qiu was overjoyed to hear this: "Okay, Xia Xia, what do you think of the fifth day of the month? We'll come then to finalize the engagement and discuss the wedding date."

“Excellent,” Yu Banxia replied with a light laugh.

However, she can't participate anymore; she's setting off for the capital to meet the emperor tomorrow.

"Okay, okay." Yun Zhi Qiu was very excited.

Then he walked over to Zhang Wanqing and Fan Cuilan and said, "Now we really are going to be in-laws."

Fan Cuilan had met Zhang Wanqing before, so she was quite comfortable with her daughter becoming her daughter-in-law.

"I'll be entrusting my daughter Yue'er to Sister Zhi Qiu's care from now on."

"Don't worry, don't worry, I will definitely treat Yue'er as my own daughter."

“Cuilan, have you noticed that we even have such a good understanding when it comes to naming our daughters?”

Yun Zhi Qiu smiled happily, and Fan Cui Lan thought about it carefully and realized it was indeed the same character, so she also smiled.
