"My mother-in-law understands what the princess wants, but she is old and doesn't want to bother anymore. She has lived in this bamboo garden for half her life and is really reluctant to leave."

Granny Hua smiled again and rejected Dongfang Li's invitation.

"Your Majesty, there seem to be two pieces of clothing in the room that have not been packed away. Please go help me tidy them up."

Dongfang Li turned to look at Nangong Xu, who shook his head helplessly, got up and went back to the room to pack the so-called clothes.

"Mother-in-law... So, you have to follow us back to the palace, don't you think so?"

Seeing that the person was gone, Dongfang Li lay down and whispered something in Granny Hua's ear, and Granny Hua's eyes suddenly became brighter.

"Really? Are you telling the truth?"

"Really, it really can't be true anymore. How dare I lie to you about this?"

Looking at Granny Hua's eyes, Dongfang Li knew that it was done.

"Okay, okay, I'll go back with you. Let's go back today. You too. Why are you talking about such a big thing now? The food and accommodation in Zhuyuan are definitely not as comprehensive as the palace's care. After staying here for so many days, I don't know. Nutrition can’t keep up..."

Listening to Granny Hua's whispered complaints, Dongfang Li smiled lightly. This kind of scene was something she had never dared to imagine before...

Here, Nangong Xu and others had just returned to the palace when Xunyang hurried over.

"Have you met the prince, the princess, this... Granny Hua? Why are you here?"

"What? You don't welcome me, an old woman?"

Granny Hua raised her cane angrily and knocked on the ground, but her tone was loving.

"How could it be? It's too late for us to be happy when you come."

Xunyang said, walking to Granny Hua and acting coquettishly.

"Okay, my mother-in-law must be tired all the way here. Xunyang, you can help your mother-in-law go to Dongyuan to rest. I have asked Qiulian and the others to clean up the room."

"Yes, princess."

On the front foot, Xun Yang helped Granny Hua leave, and on the back foot, someone came over to report that Xun Jian and others had returned to the imperial capital and should have entered the city gate by now.

"Your Majesty, go and do your work. We are back. There are still many things that need to be done. Otherwise, your title of regent will be criticized."

"This title is not what I want. Anyone who dares to accuse me must be prepared to bear my wrath."

Nangong Xu was full of complaints when he mentioned the title of regent. He really didn't want to participate in the affairs of the court. Before, it was because of his poor health and lack of motivation. Now that he is in good health, he just wants to accompany Dongfang Li every day. Regarding matters in the court, , and don’t even want to pay attention to it at all.

"Tomorrow, Nangong Hefeng will issue the edict to establish the crown prince. It just so happens that all the things from the mountains have been transported back. Those things should be regarded as our gifts to the crown prince."

Dongfang Li thought of the gold and silver treasures in the cave and couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Ali is willing to give up?"

Nangong Xu held the person in his arms and asked casually.

"Money is something external to the body, and if it is too much, it is just a number. If this dynasty wants to develop, it cannot be just our royal family. The tree is as beautiful as the forest, and the wind will destroy it. The prince has already experienced this once, hasn't he? ?I don’t want our children to go through this again in the future.”

"child?"

This was the first time the two talked about it since they got together, and Nangong Xu was a little surprised.

"What? Your Majesty doesn't want a child that belongs to both of us?"

Dongfang Li raised his head and looked at Nangong Xu with raised eyebrows.

"Of course I want a child, but Ali... I want to have a child later, okay?"

"why?"

Dongfang Li was confused.

"I don't want anyone to disturb our lives just yet."

"Oh."

Dongfang Li responded, lowering his head and no longer looking at her.

"But...he's already here..."

Dongfang Li thought silently in his heart.

"Okay, I'll send Ali back to rest first. I still have to take a look at the things brought back by Xun Jian. After all, the amount is quite huge. We have to settle it down before sending it out."

Knowing that he couldn't be persuaded, Dongfang Li didn't refuse. The two of them walked and chatted until they reached the door of Chaochen Pavilion.

"I have met the prince and princess. Please give my regards to the prince and princess."

Spring Dew, Xia Yu, Autumn Lotus, and Dong Shuang were already waiting at the door.

"Everyone, get up. Is everything going well at home these days?"

"Go back to Princess, everything is fine at home."

"He Yuexuan and April Tower are also developing steadily."

Qiulian and Dongshuang responded one after another.

"That's good, Qiulian, Granny Hua has already lived in Dongyuan. She likes to be quiet and doesn't want to be disturbed. In addition, you can arrange for two more suitable people to take care of her."

"Yes, Princess, don't worry, I will make arrangements right now."

"Ali, go and rest. I'll be right back."

Seeing that Dongfang Li had settled down, Nangong Xu felt at ease to deal with other things.

……

"I have seen the king."

"Well, have they all been shipped back?"

Without Dongfang Li around, Nangong Xu returned to his former cold self.

"Yes, everything in the cave has been transported back."

"Is it still going well?"

"The journey back to the prince went smoothly. Although there were some unsighted people who wanted a share of the pie, they were all solved by our people. Yan Jun also deployed a group of people to follow secretly..."

"Ok?"

Seeing Xun Jian hesitate to speak, Nangong Xu asked.

"Your Majesty, Yan Jun's people... my subordinates feel that everyone seems to have strong comprehensive abilities."

Xunjian gave a very pertinent answer.

"Well, how can the princess's people be incompetent?"

The corners of Nangong Xu's mouth raised, full of a sense of recognition and pride.

"Yes. Your Majesty, are you just leaving these...?"

Xunjian glanced at the boxes randomly placed in the courtyard.

"Well, this is given by the princess. You can have it sprinkled on the box later. This, sprinkle it around the box."

Nangong Xu took out two white porcelain bottles from his sleeves and handed them to Xun Jian.

As soon as Xunjian looked at the bottle, he knew that this was a medicinal powder exclusively developed by the princess. Just a little bit could make a person's whole body rotten, and no medicine could cure it.

"Be careful when using it."

"Yes, Prince, don't worry, my subordinates will know."

Xunjian took the porcelain bottle and tucked it carefully around her waist.

"When the imperial edict comes down tomorrow, half of the things will be sent to the Prince's Mansion, and the other half will be kept. When the new king ascends the throne, he will send them to the palace. A few people will be left to watch in the courtyard these days."

"Yes."

After giving instructions to Xunjian, Nangong Xu dodged and disappeared directly. Xunjian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. The only person who could make their prince so anxious was their princess.

……

The mountain behind the palace.

Dongfang Li looked at the mountain of medicinal materials and was extremely happy.

"Lightning, you have taken good care of the back mountain. When the prince comes back later, he must reward you well."

Dongfang Li squatted half-crouched, stroking Bai Hu Ling's forehead with her slender fingers.

"What did Lightning do? It deserves Ali's praise..."
