Different from Pei Yuan's constant turmoil, Duanmu Rong and Zhao Youheng's journey down to Hangzhou can be described as extremely leisurely.

Unlike Duanmu Rong who stayed in Ten Thousand Flowers Valley all the year round and barely left the valley, Zhao Youheng traveled all over the Western Regions for so many years, and the Central Plains also traveled everywhere.

When walking through some towns that Duanmurong has never been to or heard of, Zhao Youheng can even introduce the situation to Duanmurong, and lead her through the streets and alleys, looking for delicacies hidden in certain corners, Take Duanmu Rong to discover the "surprise".

What's more, Zhao Youheng still has properties under the names of certain towns - some of these properties are under the name of Zhao Youheng, the heir of Prince Taiping, and some are under the name of Gong Jiu, a man of the rivers and lakes.

Duanmu Rong and Zhao Youheng were served in every town where Zhao Youheng's industry existed.

At this time, Duan Murong only needs to be responsible for eating, drinking and having fun with Zhao Youheng, and by the way, enjoy Zhao Youheng's smooth performance in the transition between the two identities of "the silent and cold prince of Taiping" and "Gong Jiu with a weird personality" , and make sure to bring Zhao Youheng, who doesn't know his way, back to his place of residence after going out.

At that time, Duanmurong just felt that Zhao Youheng, who was the "Gong Jiu", had a weird temper.

When she finally realized what kind of person "Gong Jiu" was, it was too late.

In the Western Regions, his identity is Zhao Jiu, a Mingjiao disciple.

However, in the Central Plains, his identity is - Gong Jiu.

As for the identity of Zhao Youheng, the son of Prince Taiping, if he hadn’t remembered his surname Zhao, he would occasionally inspect the properties under his name when he returned to the Central Plains—although the properties in certain towns would always be inspected by him more than three times accidentally, And it caused some stewards to panic, maybe he didn't even know where the palace gate opened.

and many more!

It seems that even if Zhao Youheng still remembers his surname Zhao, he doesn't know where the palace gate opens? !

Thinking of this, Duanmu Rong recalled the days he had spent in the palace, and suddenly remembered that he still had the title of county lord.After she swallowed the food in her mouth, she tugged at Zhao Youheng's sleeve and asked, "Speaking of which, it seems that the crown prince...has ascended the throne?"

The year before last seemed to have changed.

It's a pity that because she stayed in the valley all the year round, she also knew about it from the letter sent by her father Duanmuqi. As for when the crown prince ascended the throne... Duanmurong had already forgotten.

Thinking of the prince who dumped all the responsibility on Zhao Youheng back then, Duan Murong couldn't help wondering what the other party would look like after ascending to the throne.

"Tell me, prince... oh no, does the emperor still remember you?"

Withdrawing his gaze from the window, Zhao Youheng was holding the teacup, and he wiped the tea leaves with the lid with his eyes downcast.After taking a sip of the tea, he put the teacup on the table, then Zhao Youheng raised his eyes to look at Duanmu Rong, gave her an "en" and nodded lightly.

"Then..." How is the relationship between you now?

Without waiting for Duanmurong to ask the question, Zhao Youheng shook his head at her first, "It's all in the past."

Yes, it's all over.

He is no longer the Zhao Youheng who expected King Taiping to notice him, even if he caused a lot of trouble for the other party, and the other party is not the one who will throw the responsibility on him when things happen, but there are good things I will definitely share it with him, and the first thing that comes to mind is his prince Zhao Youyun.

Time is ruthless, and things change.

Thinking of the mutual testing when contacting Zhao Youyun in recent years, Zhao You's eyelashes drooped slightly, covering the changing expression in his eyes, "However, if you want to know his situation, I can tell you about it."

"En?" Blinking her eyes lightly, Duanmu Rong subconsciously smiled at Zhao You, "You say it, and I'll listen."

"Xiao Wangsun from the Valley of the Kings has become his master. He is very talented in swords. If he is not the third emperor, he will be well-known in the world as a first-class master."

While Duan Murong was waiting for Zhao Youheng's next words, Zhao Youheng kept his mouth shut.

Duanmu Rong couldn't help poking Zhao Youheng, "And then?"

"Nothing."

Duanmu Rong: "...?"

After confirming that Zhao Youheng really didn't intend to continue talking, she couldn't help pouting her lips, "What is your status now? The prince or Gong Jiu?"

"Gong Jiu." Zhao Youheng slightly tilted his head, "Why do you ask this?"

"Since you are not the taciturn, noble and glamorous prince of Taiping, can't you say something more?"

Turning his gaze, Zhao Youheng raised his head with his expression unchanged, and slightly hooked his lower lip towards Duanmu Rong, "No."

Duanmu Rong: "..." Zhao Youheng made her curiosity about the current Holy Majesty suddenly disappear. She put her elbows on the table and looked at him with one hand resting on her chin, "Then eat quickly, after eating Let's go shopping."

Dispelling Duan Murong's attention from the emperor, and instead making him pay attention to him, Zhao Youheng's lips twitched slightly, smiled and nodded to Duan Murong, "Okay."

...

After Duanmurong and Zhao Youheng left Wanhua Valley, they walked and stopped all the way. When they arrived in Hangzhou, Duanmurong's sister-in-law Yaoyue was about to give birth.

Duanmuqiong received a reply from Duanmurong and found that her suggestion was very reasonable.So when faced with Yaoyue who started to throw temper tantrums because of her pregnancy, Duanmuqiong not only "couldn't fight back when beaten or scolded", he even worried that Yaoyue's hands hurt.

Because of Duanmuqiong's tolerance, Yaoyue tried her best to control her temper.

In the process of mutual tolerance, the two parties discovered a different side of each other, and their relationship took a step further.

Although Yaoyue gained weight due to her pregnancy, the gentle color that gradually spread from the corners of her eyes and brows due to her long pregnancy has a different kind of charm.

Anyone who sees Yaoyue can't deny that Yaoyue whose face has become round and even has spots under her eyes is not a beauty, but anyone who sees Yaoyue can't believe that she is the lord of Yihua Palace, Yaoyue .

When Duanmurong saw Yaoyue, she almost didn't recognize that she was her sister-in-law, not the cold beauty in her impression at all.Even the Duanmuqiong next to him who looked at Yaoyue and suddenly laughed so hard that his teeth could not see his eyes, she... almost didn't recognize him.

—I just couldn't see it.

In the days that followed, Duanmu Rong realized that it was no longer an unsightly problem.

Duanmuqiong's attitude towards Yaoyue like a princess, and the behavior of the two of them looking at each other and laughing as soon as they meet each other... Duanmurong couldn't help but look at Yaoyue whose expression was still cold but whose temperament was extremely gentle. I couldn't help but tucked up my collar, and suddenly felt a little cold.

Standing in the pavilion, looking at Duanmuqiong, who was holding Yaoyue in the garden not far away, and stopped to admire the flowers from time to time, Duanmu Rong couldn't help pulling the sleeve of Zhao Youheng who was standing on the side, "Ah Jiu, you Do you feel a little cold?"

Because Zhao Youheng ranked ninth, and he asked Duan Murong to call him Gong Jiu, Duan Murong finally compromised and called him "A Jiu".

Duanmurong tugged at his sleeves, and Zhao Youheng slowly opened his eyes and shook his head at Duanmurong.

Unable to get Zhao Youheng's approval, Duanmu Rong couldn't help pouting her lips.

Not far away, Duanmu Qiong was asking Yaoyue which flower he thought was the most beautiful, and after Yaoyue pointed out which flower was the most beautiful, he bent down/body and picked off the valuable purple peony that had only bloomed for a few days .

After looking around at the purple peony in his hand and making sure that there was no imperfection in it, he handed the flower to Yaoyue, "For you, my dear madam."

"In my heart, you are the most beautiful 'Purple Peony'."

Duanmu Qiong's eyes were serious and his expression was serious, as if what he said was a matter of course.

Looking at Duanmurong, Yaoyue couldn't help but bend her eyes, revealing a shallow smile that could clearly feel the joy in her heart.

With Yaoyue's acquiescence, Duanmuqiong inserted the purple peony he picked by himself on Yaoyue's temple.

In the pavilion, just in time to hear the conversation between Yao Yue and Duan Muqiong, Duan Mu Rong who saw their movements: "..." Sure enough, it was really cold.

Duanmu Rong gathered her collar again, at this moment, she had the same feeling as Pei Yuan not long ago.

Cold, really cold.

This situation continued until sister-in-law Yaoyue gave birth to a child.

No, it shouldn't be said that way, it should be said that it is better than the original state.

Although it still made Duanmurong feel a little hurt, but at least not to the point of being blind.

Over the years, Duanmuqiong has been seated as the magistrate of Hangzhou, but his attitude towards Yaoyue has never changed.

Even if he had been close to Yaoyue Cheng for nearly ten years before he had a child, even if he gave birth to a daughter, Duanmuqiong was still the "silly boy" who fell in love with Yaoyue at first sight back then.

His love for Yaoyue made his younger sister Duanmu Rong's teeth ache.

Yaoyue gave birth to a daughter who looked very similar to her, but unlike her, this little girl loved to laugh.

She can laugh when there are people, and also when there is no one, and even gives people a feeling of enjoying themselves, and when she laughs, she looks very much like her aunt Duanmu Rong.

Because of this, even Zhao Youheng who didn't like children hugged her.

When the child was full moon, the smile in the corner of his eyes never diminished. Duanmuqiong gave a banquet to the guests and named his daughter Jin.

"Jin" in "Huaijin Holding Yuxi②" carries the best wishes from parents to their children.

On the day of the full moon ceremony, Duanmu Rong also helped entertain the guests.

As the host family, and also as the younger sister of the prefect of Hangzhou, even if Duanmurong is not a good dancer, she has not been embarrassed by others.

Being praised by everyone, she knew a lot of changes in Hangzhou over the years from the chats of others, and was fortunate to know the recent situation of people who had met once.

Mrs. Hua's niece has never been able to find a chance to marry into the Hua family. She couldn't wait any longer as she got older, and finally married a squire under Mrs. Hua's "matchmaking".

Although life is comfortable, but because of the "conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law", when she is outside, she will always express that Mrs. Hua has harmed her. If Mrs. Hua hadn't "intervened", she would not have lived such a miserable life.

After coming and going, the cold-hearted Mrs. Hua was unwilling to take care of her niece, which made her life at her husband's house even worse.

As for the merchant woman who once troubled her, she left Hangzhou with her family a few years ago because her family offended the powerful.

The women chatted about their parents, envied the "love" between Yaoyue and Duanmuqiong, and lamented the personnel changes in Hangzhou over the years.

Listening to everyone's conversation, Duanmurong couldn't help but feel lucky that she was born in Duanmu's family and that her future husband is Zhao Youheng.
