Before Mrs. Cen and Zhang could figure out how to greet them, Xiao Chengji had already approached.

The two of them quickly knelt down and saluted. Xiao Chengji just raised his hand and gestured for them to stand up, then looked in the direction of Yan Yu.

Yan Yu was still teaching Jin Sui'er how to weave the picked flowers into a wreath made of thin willow branches. Her eyebrows drooped slightly, and her eyelashes cast a small shadow on her snow-white face.

When Jin Sui'er first came, she was dark and thin, but now she has grown into a lively girl. She has bright eyes and looks at Yan Yu's belly curiously.

Yan Yu was kicked by the baby in her belly again. She cried out "ouch" and covered her belly with one hand.

Jinsui'er asked, "Princess, do you have a stomachache?"

Yan Yu smiled slightly and let her touch it. Jin Sui'er really felt the fetal movement and her eyes widened immediately: "The young master is moving!"

Yan Yu smiled and said: "In one or two months, you can see it."

Xiao Chengji has been busy recently with various things happening in the capital and he is completely unable to spare the time.

He looked at Yan Yu for a long time. Seeing that the King of Qin was just standing there watching and not speaking, Madam Cen and Zhang, who were standing beside him, did not dare to speak and just watched from the side.

It took Yan Yu a while to realize that someone was staring at her. She had always been stared at since she was a child and didn't pay much attention to other people's looks. She looked up belatedly and saw Xiao Chengji standing on the corridor in the distance.

He was wearing a neat riding suit, and his figure was slender and strong, looking particularly tall and straight.

Yan Yu hadn't seen him for some time. She also knew that Xiao Chengji was busy with court affairs and it was inconvenient for her to stay in Beijing, so she didn't write to disturb him.

After seeing Xiao Chengji, Yan Yu tilted his head and smiled.

When Xiao Chengji came closer, the little girls next to him were so scared that they stood up quickly.

Yan Yu raised his hand and let him pull him up.

"When did His Highness arrive?"

"We left the capital before dawn." Xiao Chengji said, "It's a bit hot here, let's go to the room and talk."

Yan Yu hung the wreath made of willow branches on his head and said, "I thought Your Highness had forgotten me after not coming for so long."

Xiao Chengji took it off and looked at it, then put it back on her head: "I won't forget you. I think about you every day."

Mrs. Cen and Zhang hesitated for a moment and then quietly retreated.

Madam Cen said, "I never thought that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin was so handsome. I used to think that the brothers in our family were the best of the best, but compared to the Prince of Qin, they are nothing."

Zhang smiled and said, "The elders in our family all like handsome and cute younger generations. The Prince of Qin is loved by the Emperor, so naturally he won't be bad. I heard from the Third Master before that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin looks a lot like the Emperor."

The two of them sighed and returned to their rooms.

Yan Yu followed Xiao Chengji back to the room. She asked the maids to prepare warm water. The horse's hooves on the road splashed sand and dust everywhere. He was exhausted from the journey, so she asked him to take a bath and change his clothes.

While Xiao Chengji went to take a bath, Xingwen stood in front of Yan Yu with his hands hanging down and his head lowered, listening to the princess' questions.

Yan Yu had nothing to say. He thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness looks thinner."

Xingwen said quickly: "The princess is not at home, and His Highness has no mood to eat. The servants tried to persuade him, but the master ignored them."

Yan Yu took a sip of the Lingzhi Eight Treasure Tea in his hand to moisten his throat: "Did the Queen Mother cause trouble to Your Highness during this period?"

To be honest, the only people the Queen Mother could really control over the years were women.

The princes left the palace when they reached the age to avoid being bullied by her and rarely went to the harem. When they got married, they usually asked their wives to pay respects and perform filial duties, but they didn't go often.

Whenever the Queen Mother was dissatisfied, she would vent her anger on their wives.

Xiao Chengji is even more stubborn and would never go to their place in his entire life.

The empress dowager could not find out Yan Yu's whereabouts, and was anxious for Yan Yu to appear, so she pretended to be sick and insisted that the princes' wives come to take care of her.

The emperor knew what she was thinking, so he sent Zheng and Xia directly to tell her that the Princess of Qin was not in good health and would pass her illness on to her.

The emperor was weak back then and failed to protect his woman.

His son became tough and the emperor would never undermine his son.

Faced with Xiao Chengji's inhumane and tough behavior, the Queen Mother had no choice but to resort to cunning tactics and asked the Seventh Prince to send people to search everywhere.

As a result, the Seventh Prince spent a lot of time and effort, and consumed a lot of manpower and resources, but all the people he sent out were killed by Xiao Chengji's men.

Xiao Chengji was busy with court affairs, and had to guard against the Queen Mother and the Seventh Prince's shady tricks. He was worried that if he rashly came to Yan Yu's place, the news would leak out and her position would be exposed. It was not until this period of free time, when the people who should be killed had been killed, that he took time off to come and take a look.

Even so, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, he traveled light and only brought a few followers with him.

Xingwen talked to Yan Yu about everything that had happened in the past few months.

Here, Xiao Chengji also changed into casual clothes.

After the maids brought some snacks, Yan Yu asked them to bring a plate of white peach pastry and a plate of bayberry pastry.

Xiao Chengji tasted a little and found it sweet and delicious, quite good.

The weather has been hot recently, and Yan Yu has been taking all kinds of supplements, which has made her body feel a little dry. The imperial physician said that she could eat some cold food appropriately, and it would not do any harm to her body if she did not eat too much.

It happened that the farm here produced goat milk, so Sushan poured the boiled goat milk and essence into a plate, put it in the ice cellar for cold storage, and it had solidified when it was taken out. He then poured jam made from peaches and bayberries in the middle, and garnished it with some fruits and red beans.

The snow-white and translucent crispy mountain is placed in a glass container, and on top of it there are colorful fruits and honey sauce. The light milky aroma is mixed with the fresh and sweet fruity aroma, which is very attractive just by looking at it.

Yan Yu has been fond of eating this recently. When she saw Xiao Chengji eat a little and then stop, she scooped a spoonful of each to eat.

Xiao Chengji took the small silver spoon with hollow carvings from her hand and said, "Just taste a little. Don't eat too much cold food."

Yan Yu was still not satisfied: "The doctor said I can eat it."

"Which imperial physician said that? I'll ask him."

Yan Yu thought about it and decided not to trick the doctor. If Xiao Chengji really called him over to question him, he might scare the doctor to death.

Xiao Chengji had these things taken away and brought up some fresh fruit plates.

Yan Yu hadn't seen him for a long time, and this time she really missed him. She sat on his lap and buried her head in his arms, acting coquettishly.

Xiao Chengji touched Yan Yu's body everywhere and could see that she had been well cared for recently. She looked plumper and her face showed that she was full of energy and blood.

Even in the summer last year, Yan Yu's face was still pale, as if she was out of touch with the world, as if she was afraid that a gust of wind would blow her down.

This year, her face is a little light pink like peach blossoms, and her lips look rosy and lustrous.

It is indeed a remarkable and fulfilling thing that Xiao Chengji has raised his princess so well.
