Rebirth of Her Royal Highness the Princess

The weather in February was still bitterly cold, and there was even heavy snow.

——Hua Xiulan sat quietly in the attic, staring at the falling snow outside the window, as if immersed in her own thoughts. Her eyes revealed a faint sadness and loneliness.

"Princess, I would like to ask for leave and go out of the house." Chuntao said cautiously, with a hint of uneasiness in her voice.

Hua Xiulan turned her head and looked at Chuntao, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes: "Chuntao, what happened?" she asked with concern, her tone full of worry.

Chuntao lowered her head and fiddled with the handkerchief in her hand nervously. After hesitating for a moment, she replied softly, "No...it's nothing serious, Princess. It's just that there are some small things at home that need to be dealt with." Her voice trembled slightly, and she seemed to be afraid to look Hua Xiulan in the eye.

Hua Xiulan looked at Chuntao thoughtfully for a while, and said softly: "Well, in that case, you go. But come back early, I can't do without you." Chuntao nodded gratefully and left quickly. Looking at Chuntao's back, Hua Xiulan couldn't help but feel doubtful.

This girl has always been steady, but today she was acting so abnormally, she must be hiding something from her. She decided to investigate secretly to see what Chuntao had to say.

After Chuntao left, Hua Xiulan called the secret guard assigned by Jun Moli and told him to follow Chuntao quietly and find out the truth of the matter.

After receiving the order, the secret guard quietly followed Chun Tao out of the house. Chun Tao did not notice that someone was following her, and she walked straight to a dilapidated residential area outside the city. The secret guard followed her all the way, and his curiosity grew.

Soon after, Chuntao walked into a simple hut. The secret guard hid outside and observed the movements in the house. He saw Chuntao hugging and crying with an elderly woman, and the two seemed to have a deep emotional entanglement. The secret guard reported what he saw and heard to Hua Xiulan, and she was moved after listening.

It turned out that Chuntao's mother was seriously ill and had no money for treatment, so she had to take leave to go home to take care of her. Hua Xiulan decided to help Chuntao. She took out her own private money and sent someone to invite the best doctor to treat Chuntao's mother.

A few days later, Chuntao's mother's condition gradually improved. Chuntao was grateful and vowed to serve Hua Xiulan more loyally. From then on, the relationship between the master and the servant became closer. Hua Xiulan also won the hearts of the people and her prestige in the Junfu increased day by day.

Jun Moli had not returned home for several days, but rumors suddenly spread in the mansion that he had a mistress outside. For a moment, the entire mansion was in an uproar.

"Who spread these words? Investigate thoroughly for me!" Hua Xiulan slammed the table in anger, her eyes flashing with anger.

"Princess, please calm down. I know I was wrong. It was because I didn't take good care of my daughter. Please punish me." At this time, an old maid suddenly knelt down and admitted her mistake, her voice trembling.

"Mammy, please stand up and talk first. What's wrong with your daughter?" Hua Xiulan asked with a frown.

"Princess, my daughter has been in love with her husband for five years, but she has always been conscientious in fulfilling her duties and has never done anything inappropriate." The nanny answered tremblingly.

"So, was it she who spread the rumor? Or did she want to use the rumor to get promoted?" Hua Xiulan stared at the nanny with sharp eyes, trying to find clues from her face.

"This... I really don't know. Please, Princess, please look into it." The nanny's face was filled with fear and she was trembling all over.

Hua Xiulan pondered for a moment and said, "No matter what, this matter must be thoroughly investigated. If it was really your daughter who did it, I will not let her off easily. But if it was someone else, I will never tolerate it either."

Then, she called the butler and ordered, "Go check who in the mansion has had frequent contact with the outside world recently, especially those servants who like to pass on messages."

The steward took the order and left, Hua Xiulan's face was still gloomy. She knew that if this matter was not handled well, it would not only affect her prestige in the mansion, but also might cause a bigger disturbance.

At the same time, Jun Moli returned home and bought Hua Xiulan's favorite roast chicken and pastries from the largest restaurant in the capital.

Hua Xiulan was anxiously waiting for the results of the investigation in her room. At this time, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door, followed by the voice of the steward: "Reporting to the Princess, it has been found that it was Mrs. Li from the kitchen who colluded with outsiders and deliberately spread rumors."

"How dare you!" Hua Xiulan slammed the table and stood up. "Give this man fifty lashes of the cane immediately and drive him out of the house! Also, pass down the order that if anyone dares to spread false statements again in the future, they will be severely punished!"

After the steward left, Hua Xiulan's mood calmed down a little. She couldn't help but think of Jun Moli, and a sweet feeling rose in her heart. At this time, Jun Moli happened to come into the room with a gift.

"Lan'er, I brought you your favorite roast chicken and pastries." Jun Moli handed over the things in his hand with a smile.

Hua Xiulan took the gift and smiled gently: "Thank you, Mo Li. But something just happened in the mansion..." She told Jun Mo Li about the rumors.

Jun Moli gently held her hand: "Lan'er, you have to believe me." Hua Xiulan nodded, leaned on Jun Moli's shoulder, feeling his warmth.

"There are actually people with such sinister intentions. Fortunately, the truth is now revealed." Jun Moli comforted.

"I just don't know who is the mastermind behind this and why they would make up such a lie to slander you." Hua Xiulan frowned.

"Don't worry, Lan'er. The innocent will be innocent, and time will prove everything. The most important thing right now is to take good care of your health, and leave the rest to me to investigate." Jun Moli said softly.

Hua Xiulan nodded, feeling much relieved.

After the two of them had dinner together, Jun Moli accompanied Hua Xiulan for a walk in the courtyard to digest the food.

The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the two of them, reflecting the figures of a perfect couple.

"Aiya." Along with a tender voice, Jun Yao was carefully carried out by the nurse. The little guy waved his chubby little hands, with an innocent smile on his face.

"Haha, Mo Li, look, Yaoer wants to learn to talk. He's babbling." Hua Xiulan couldn't help laughing, her eyes full of doting and joy. She gently stroked her son's cheek, feeling the soft touch.

"Yao'er, Yao'er, come and let your father hug you." Jun Moli stretched out his arms, took his son from the nanny, and hugged him tightly in his arms. The little guy seemed to feel the warmth of his father and laughed happily.

"Yao'er is already six months old, Lan'er, let's give Yao'er a younger sister." Jun Moli looked at his wife tenderly, his eyes full of expectation and love.

"Ah~ In front of the child." Hua Xiulan glared at her husband coquettishly, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"Nurse, take Yao'er to live in Fengya Pavilion in the West Palace in the future. He should live on his own when he grows up." Jun Moli suddenly turned to the nurse and said.

"Jun Moli, Yao'er is still so young, how can he be left to sleep alone?" Hua Xiulan objected hastily after hearing this. She looked at her son distressedly, not wanting him to leave her so early.

"Don't we still have a wet nurse?" Jun Moli smiled and comforted his wife, "And this will also help cultivate Yao'er's independence."

Although Hua Xiulan felt a little reluctant, she knew that her husband was right. After all, children will eventually grow up and need to learn to live independently.

So she nodded silently to show her agreement.
