After Huanbi was reborn, she became the prince's favorite

Early the next morning, while Yu Shan was still sleeping, Prince Guo and A Jin went to the street to buy things they would need in the next few days. They said they were buying things for the two of them, but in fact about 90% of the things were bought for Yu Shan.

Seeing that he could no longer hold A Jin, the prince still refused to stop and continued to walk forward.

As they walked, they came to a small courtyard. They looked inside through the wide open door. The scenery was pleasant and warm. The prince was very satisfied with the courtyard and sent A Jin to inquire about it.

Who knew that this yard was going to be rented out? Upon hearing this, the prince immediately paid a deposit and took A Jin on the carriage back to the inn.

That afternoon, the three of them moved into the small courtyard and decided to spend the rest of their days there.

At Yushan's suggestion, Ajin was responsible for purchasing daily necessities, while she and the prince were responsible for sweeping, cleaning, and arranging items.

The three of them were busy for five days before they finally settled down the courtyard. Looking at the tidy yard and house that they had tidied up with their own hands, the prince felt that Yu Shan had a charm that attracted him even more.

So that night, Prince Guo seemed to have forgotten his own tiredness, and ignored Yu Shan's pleas for mercy. The candlelight in the room flickered all night long.

Yunnan's climate is like spring all year round. Even as the year draws to a close, it is still warm and very comfortable.

On this day, two letters arrived from the capital. One was from Zhen Huan asking about Yu Shan's recent situation. Her heart was full of concern and longing. Zhen Huan also mentioned that Yu Rao and Shen Beile were in love with each other and their wedding was scheduled for May next year. She hoped that Yu Shan could go back then to help her buy things for Yu Rao's wedding.

Looking at the emperor's letter, it was also full of longing for life in Yunnan. The emperor hoped that Prince Guo could return to Beijing to accompany him as soon as possible, but in the end he did not issue an edict. The prince thought about it and still believed that it was more important to accompany the person he loved, so he wrote a letter to express his intention.

The Spring Festival of the Baiyi people is more exciting and interesting than that of the Manchus. Coinciding with the Great Qing Dynasty this year, during the New Year days, the prince and Yushan joined the crowd every day in singing and dancing, and went from house to house like flowing water to eat, drink, and celebrate. They were as happy as gods. Although they fell exhausted on the couch at dusk every day, they felt endless satisfaction and pleasure in their hearts.

After the New Year, the prince sent A Jin back and left Yunnan with Yu Shan alone, heading to Guilin, Guangxi.

The prince paddled a bamboo raft on the water. In the distance was the Guilin landscape that looked like an ink painting. The prince stopped what he was doing, helped Yu Shan up, and hugged her tightly from behind, saying:

"As the ancients said, Guilin's landscapes are the best in the world. I vowed since I was a child that one day I would visit this place with my beloved. Now my dream has finally come true."

Yu Shan raised her head and kissed the prince's cheek sweetly. Rather than saying that she helped Yun Li realize his wishes, it would be better to say that Yun Li gave up his noble life to accompany her through mountains and rivers.

After staying in Guilin for more than a month, it was already February. Yu Shan suggested that it was time to go back and help her elder sister prepare Yu Rao's dowry. However, the prince disagreed and insisted on taking her around Lingnan and visiting Jiangnan.

After the prince's coaxing and acting cute, Yu Shan finally softened her heart and accompanied her to the south of the Yangtze River in spring.

"Others went south of the Yangtze River, but we went from Lingnan to Jiangnan. However, the spring scenery in Jiangnan is really beautiful."

Yu Shan was holding an oil-paper umbrella and walking side by side with the prince on the street.

Yunli nodded, watching the raindrops falling down the umbrella, took out a bunch of flowers from behind and handed them to Yushan, saying with a smile: "If you go to Jiangnan to catch spring, you must live with spring."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yu Shan knew that the prince would never be willing to leave unless he stayed for a month or two.

"Yunli, we agreed to stay here for only seven days. We still have to go north for some time."

"But this place is so beautiful, Yushan. We have finally come here, and my mother has always been fascinated by Jiangnan. Let's stay a little longer and see and eat everything we should see and eat. If my mother asks about it when we go back, we can explain it to her."

Yu Shan was about to retort when the prince grabbed her and ran forward. By the time she reacted, the two of them had already entered a houseboat.

"Why did you bring me here?" Yu Shan was puzzled.

Yunli didn't want to hear her say that she was in a hurry to go back, so he had to divert her attention and said:

"The painter here learned from Ding Guanpeng and is best at painting portraits. Since we are here, why not ask the painter to paint you and me in the painting together?"

After the prince finished speaking, he started chatting with the painter. Seeing her like this, Yu Shan understood that this guy must have made arrangements in advance, but he still pretended to have just discovered it. He seemed to be asking about her opinion, but in fact he had already made up his mind.

Unable to persuade Prince Guo, the two ended up living in Jiangnan for a month, eating all kinds of delicious food and seeing all kinds of beautiful scenery. The prince also learned a few Jiangnan musical instruments and practiced them for her from time to time.

Seeing that it was already the end of March, and Yu Rao's wedding date was getting closer and closer, Yu Shan was anxious and insisted on going back with the prince:

"If Your Majesty still wants to travel, please do so. I will return no matter what. As the second daughter of the Zhen family, how can I care about my own freedom and happiness and ignore others when my sister is getting married?"

When she was in the Zhen Mansion, Yu Rao was young, but she always liked to stick to her. Whenever she got something delicious or fun, she would come to play with her and Liu Zhu. Others didn't know, but she knew that this was her own sister, and she naturally cared about her very much.

The prince pulled her to the window. Outside, a bright moon was shining in the sky, making the ground bright and shiny.

"Such a spring night is not found in the capital."

"No, then no. There is still a lot of time to come. We can come out again."

The prince knew that he could not convince her, so he smiled mysteriously, "Yushan, are you worried about the marriage between Yurao and Shen Beile? If I have prepared your gift, can you have fun for a while with peace of mind?"

Yu Shan lowered her head, looking a little depressed. It was already such a late hour and Yun Li was still joking with her. She pouted and said nothing.

If he teased her again, she might get really angry. The prince gently hugged her and asked with a smile, "Do you know why I sent Ah Jin back to the capital?"

"Why?" Yu Shan looked at her, fluttering her big eyes.

"Shen Beile is getting married, so as his elder brother, I naturally have to offer him a great gift. You are both his sister-in-law and his sister-in-law, so a gift is also indispensable.

I know that you three sisters have a deep bond, so I asked Jin to start making preparations early on. By now, everything should be ready."

Yu Shan smiled happily. It turned out that the prince was not as playful and irresponsible as she imagined. She pretended to be angry and patted Yun Li's chest, "You have prepared it a long time ago. Why do you have to hide it from me? You waited until I got tired of you before telling me. Is this your style?"

The prince was frightened by her words and quickly apologized, explaining: "I swear to God, I really didn't mean that. I just felt that your life was hard before, and I wanted you to relax more. I see that you look much younger these days than when you were in the palace."

Really? Yu Shan touched her cheek doubtfully. No matter whether it was true or not, how could a woman not be happy to hear such words?

The prince nodded seriously and said, "You are already very beautiful, why should I make up those nonsense to deceive you? Well, let's play for another half a month and return before the wedding. If you need anything by then, I will accompany you to search all over the capital, okay?"

Well, since the prince has promised, let’s go north and play for a while.

The two men left Jiangnan by boat, wading through water and hurrying along the way, taking in the scenery along the way. It makes people sigh at the vastness of the Qing Dynasty, with its vast territory and rich resources. Wherever they went, there were often breathtaking sights.
