Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart



"Mother, I know you're happy to see Big Sis Yaoyao, but can't you invite her in before you continue with your chat?" Hexin looked at her mother from the side and reminded her about this in exasperation as her mother seemed to have forgotten to invite their guest in.

Yuan Xin gave a start when she heard this. "That's right. Just look at how bad my memory is! Come on, Yaoyao, let's go inside." With that, she held Yaoyao's hand and led Yaoyao into the mansion.

"Are Uncle Rui and the others around?" Yaoyao asked casually.

"He went out with Hean," said Yuan Xin. "Hean has been giving us a headache because of his playfulness. He never stops jumping around in the mansion. Your Uncle Rui brought him to the suburbs for horseback riding since he has so much energy."

Beitang Rui and Yuan Xin had a daughter and one son. Their daughter, Hexin, was thirteen this year while their son, Hean, was ten.

Yaoyao could tell that despite her complaints about Hean, she loved him very much.

Time passed quickly for Yaoyao with Yuan Xin and Hexin accompanying her at Prince Rui Mansion for the entire day.

When evening came, Yuan Xin wanted Yaoyao to stay the night at the mansion.

Compared to the Palace, Yaoyao preferred to stay at Prince Rui Mansion because Yuan Xin and Hexin were there to accompany her.

She was about to agree when Chen Jin came in to report, "Princess Yaoyao, His Majesty is here to pick you up and return to the Palace."

Yaoyao was slightly surprised. "He came out of the Palace?"

"Yes," Chen Jin replied.

Yaoyao frowned. "Isn't he busy?"

Yuan Xin gave Yaoyao a strange look when she heard this.

She had never thought Beitang You would leave the Palace to personally pick Yaoyao up.

"Where is His Majesty?" Despite this thought, Yuan Xin still needed to welcome His Majesty as he had arrived at the mansion.

"He is outside the mansion," said Chen Jin.

Yuan Xin pulled Hexin along, intending to welcome his arrival at the door.

"There is no need for the trouble, Aunt Xin. Since he is already here, I'll return to the Palace with him." Yaoyao stood up.

All of them headed to the mansion doors.

Beitang You's personal horse-drawn carriage was parked right outside.

Yuan Xin wanted to kneel in greeting with Hexin, but was stopped by Beitang You. "There is no need for formalities, Princess Consort Rui. I'll be returning to the Palace after I pick up Yaoyao." With that, he turned to look at Yaoyao and reached his hand out to her. "Please get into the carriage, Yaoyao."

Yaoyao had no choice but to go to him. She placed her hand in his palm. "Why are you out of the Palace?"

"I'm here to pick you up," Beitang You spoke with natural ease. He looked at the fair, tender, little hand in his palm and a smile flashed in his eye. After that, he held her hand and helped her into the carriage.

He followed behind her into the carriage.

Yaoyao pulled up the blinds once she got into the carriage and said her goodbyes to Yuan Xin and Hexin, who were standing next to it. "Aunt Xin, Xinxin, I'm leaving for the Palace now."

"Alright. Be careful. Come out of the Palace tomorrow. I'll take you around capital city," Yuan Xin said to her.

"Okay." Yaoyao returned to her seat in the carriage.

As they watched the carriage leave, Hexin hugged Yuan Xin's arm and asked, "Mother, do you think His Majesty harbors intentions for Yaoyao?"

Yuan Xin darted a look at her in exasperation and berated, "Be careful with your choice of words."

Hexin pouted. "There's no one here anyway. Can't I say what I want?"

Yuan Xin sighed. "It looks like His Majesty does have feelings for Yaoyao, but Yaoyao seems to be a little slow when it comes to her feelings. From what I can see, she didn't seem to notice His Majesty's feelings for her."

Hexin nodded. "I feel the same way."

Yuan Xin glared at her. "What do you know when you're still so young?"

"Whatever you know, Mother, I do too," Hexin said with a chortle.

Yuan Xin shook her head. Was her daughter too mature for her age?
