“I can’t hide anything from Mother.” Thinking of Song Jingchen, Little Jiajia chuckled foolishly. “He’s very good-looking, but he always likes to pull a long face. He keeps saying that this is against the rules and that it’s inappropriate. I asked him to help me do my homework, but he lectured me and even forced me to practice my calligraphy.” “Then why do you still like him?”

“He’s good-looking.”

Ji Luo held her forehead. Back then, she saved Xuanyuan Ce because he was good-looking.

“Mother, do you believe in past and present lives?”

“Past and present lives?” A complicated look flashed across Ji Luo’s eyes. She tightened her grip on Little Jiajia. “Perhaps.”

“The first time I saw him, I felt that he must be my future husband. So, Mother, you and Father will give birth to another brother or sister for me. Even if I

marry far away, you won’t be reluctant to let me go.”

Little Jiajia’s voice became softer and softer. Ji Luo looked down and realized that the little girl had fallen asleep.

Seeing the smile on her daughter’s lips, Ji Luo shook his head. “Silly girl, no matter how many children Father and Mother have, we can’t bear for you to marry far away.”

Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, five years had passed.

In these five years, Great Xia and the Wu Kingdom sent a peace agreement to the Xuanyuan Kingdom and became affiliated with the Xuanyuan Kingdom.

As for Great Xia, Emperor Chong’an had a sudden illness last year and became a living corpse in bed. With the support of more than half of the ministers in the court, Shangguan Han successfully ascended the throne.

At the same time, Duke Song had also become the popular prime minister of the dynasty, a huge upgrade from a dispensable official of the Ministry of Rites.

It was worth mentioning that the identity of the second prince Shangguan Yu’s biological mother was also exposed in the same year.

His mother was originally the princess of the previous dynasty of the Wu Kingdom, Nangong Xia. The first thing Shangguan Han did when he ascended the throne was to confer Nangong Xia the title of Gentle Empress Dowager. He originally wanted to send troops to attack the Wu Kingdom to avenge her, but Shangguan Yu refused and only focused on assisting his half-brother, Shangguan Han.

On the official road to Chang’an, a carriage drove quickly, stirring up thick dust wherever it passed.

“Sister MO Yuan, how long until we reach Chang’an?” A girl’s pleasant voice sounded in the carriage.

“Princess, the Ten Mile Slope is ahead. We’ll be able to enter the city in half an hour.”

As soon as MO Yuan finished speaking, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Xuanyuan Yijia lifted the curtain curiously and saw a young man standing by the roadside holding a horse.

Her eyes lit up. She quickly got out of the carriage and pounced on the young man.

Song Jingchen’s eyelids twitched. He quickly flew over and pulled the girl into his arms. “Why are you still so rash? What if you fall?”

“Don’t I still have you? Will you let me fall?”

Song Jingchen helped Xuanyuan Yijia stand up. When he met her eyes, his eyes were filled with a smile. He reached out and rubbed her head. “No.” Xuanyuan Yijia also laughed.

“How did you know I would arrive today? I wanted to give you a surprise.”

“In two days, Miss Yuan and Brother Xiao will get married. I figured you would definitely come.”

“Princess, actually, my heir has been waiting for you here for three days. He waits from morning to night every day.” Shi An appeared out of nowhere. Song Jingchen glanced at him. “You talk too much. Who’s your master?”

“Of course it’s you. However, Shi An’s life was saved by the princess. The princess is Shi An’s second parent.”

He was referring to an assassination attempt on Song Jingchen a few years ago.

Shi An had taken a fatal blow for him. Fortunately, he had taken the “One Breath” medicine Xuanyuan Yijia had left for Song Jingchen in time and survived.

Xuanyuan Yijia was stunned. “If I had known that you missed me so much, I would have left a few days ago.”

“It’s all my father’s fault. As soon as I said that I was coming to Great Xia, he cried. I can’t ignore him.”

Song Jingchen found it funny. He got on the horse and reached out to

Xuanyuan Yijia. “Let’s go. Everyone is waiting for you.”

The afterglow of the setting sun softened the young man’s facial features.

Xuanyuan Yijia’s eyes lit up and she placed her hand on his. “Okay..”
