The Pretty Wife of General Jinxiu Huanian

Chapter 133

Yunxi snuggled tightly in the prince's arms, her eyes red and tears welling up in them.

The prince patted Yunxi's back gently with his big hand and said softly, "Xi'er, don't be sad anymore. I will always be by your side."

Yunxi looked up at the prince, her eyes filled with sorrow, her voice choked with sobs: "Prince, I can't let go of this feeling in my heart. I don't know how my relatives are doing now."

The prince frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on Yunxi's face, and his tone was firm: "Xi'er, now that we are here, we must look forward.

I promise you that I will protect you and ensure you live a safe and secure life in this land."

Yunxi sighed softly, exerted a little strength, broke free from the prince's arms, and slowly walked to the window.

The prince stood there, looking at Yunxi's back, his eyes full of pity.

Yunxi placed her hands on the windowsill, staring out the window blankly. The prince couldn't help but follow her, and when he got behind Yunxi, he put his arms around her.

Yunxi trembled slightly, but did not break free. The prince rested his chin on Yunxi's shoulder and whispered softly in her ear: "Xi'er, look at this Marquis' Mansion. Its current peace and prosperity are also due to your contribution."

Yunxi bit her lip and said, "Your Highness, I understand the truth, but I can't suppress my homesickness."

Yunxi's pretty face was slightly furrowed with brows, and her big watery eyes were full of sorrow.

Her little mouth was slightly pursed, as if she had suffered great injustice.

The prince turned Yunxi over, put his hands on her shoulders, and looked at her affectionately: "Xi'er, no matter what happens, I will never leave you.

Even if the road ahead is difficult, I am willing to face it with you."

The prince's handsome face was full of determination at this moment, his sword-like eyebrows were slightly raised, and there was only the shadow of Yunxi in his deep eyes.

His broad palm rested firmly on Yunxi's weak shoulders, as if he wanted to transfer all his strength to her.

Yunxi looked at the prince, and a trace of warmth rose in her heart: "Prince, with your words, I feel much better."

A smile finally appeared on Yunxi's face, like the ice-breaking lake water in spring, slowly rippling out.

She raised her head slightly, and the sadness in her eyes faded a little.

The prince smiled slightly and said, "That's good. Don't let your imagination run wild anymore."

The corners of the prince's mouth rose slightly, and that smile was like the warm sun in winter, making people feel particularly at ease.

At this time, the maid came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Madam, the kitchen has made some new snacks."

The maid lowered her head and stood respectfully aside, with her hands folded in front of her.

The prince said, "Bring it in."

The maid responded quickly, turned around, carefully brought in the snacks, placed them on the table, and then retreated.

The prince picked up a piece of dessert and handed it to Yunxi: "Come, try this freshly made dessert and see if it suits your taste."

There was anticipation in the prince's eyes, like a child waiting to be praised.

Yunxi took the snack and took a bite: "Hmm, it tastes good."

Yunxi chewed it slowly, a look of satisfaction on her face.

The prince looked at Yunxi with eyes full of doting: "If you like it, eat more."

As the prince spoke, he picked up another piece of dessert and handed it to Yunxi's mouth.

Yunxi nodded and took a few more bites of snacks.

Yunxi's cheeks were bulging from eating so much that she looked like a cute little squirrel.

The prince pulled Yunxi to sit down and said, "Xi'er, how about we go for a walk in the suburbs tomorrow to relax?"

The prince held Yunxi's hand tightly, his eyes full of tenderness.

Yunxi's eyes lit up: "Very good."

Yunxi's eyes suddenly lit up, like twinkling stars in the night sky.

The prince continued, "I heard the peach blossoms in the suburbs are in full bloom. Let's go enjoy the view."

Yunxi smiled faintly: "Then I must make good preparations."

After Yunxi finished speaking, she turned around and went back to the house, her steps brisk.

The prince looked at her back, smiled and shook his head.

Yunxi got back to her room and started to get busy. She picked and chose in front of the wardrobe, muttering to herself, "This one is too plain, and this one is too bright."

The maid was helping to advise, and Yunxi picked up one thing and put it down again, struggling for a long time.

"Oh, which one should I wear?" Yunxi frowned, her little face almost twisted into a ball.

Finally, she chose the light pink dress. "Let's go with this one. The prince will probably like it."

The prince, on the other hand, went back to his study to deal with some matters. After finishing, he would think of Yunxi's charming appearance from time to time, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise.

At night, the prince came to Yunxi's room again. Yunxi was sitting in front of the dressing table, in a daze.

The prince walked forward and gently hugged her from behind. Yunxi was startled and said angrily, "Prince, you scared me."

The prince laughed heartily: "I just wanted to give you a surprise."

The two chatted casually, and Yunxi had a smile on her face the whole time.

After an unknown amount of time, Yunxi couldn't help but yawn. Seeing this, the prince said softly, "Go to sleep, Xi'er."

Yunxi nodded obediently and lay down on the bed. The prince carefully covered her with the quilt, kissed her forehead gently, and then left quietly.

The next morning, sunlight shone through the window, casting patches of light on Yunxi's face.

Yunxi woke up slowly, stretched herself, and seemed to be in a much better mood.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she shouted, "Come here, help me wash and dress up." The maids came in one after another, some fetching water, some taking handkerchiefs.

Yunxi deliberately chose a light pink dress and looked at herself in the mirror, asking the maid, "Do you think the prince would like me dressed like this?"

The maid replied with a smile: "Madam is naturally beautiful, the prince will like whatever she wears."

After hearing this, Yunxi blushed.

After packing everything up, Yunxi walked gracefully to the front hall, where the prince was already waiting.

When the prince saw Yunxi, his eyes lit up and he hurried forward to greet her and said, "Xi'er is so beautiful today."

Yunxi smiled slightly: "Your Highness, please don't make fun of me." The prince took Yunxi's hand and said softly: "I'm not making fun of you. I'm speaking from the heart."

The two of them got in the carriage and drove to the suburbs. Along the way, Yunxi looked at the scenery outside the window and chattered non-stop: "Your Majesty, look at that tree, it looks so strange."

The prince smiled and replied, "It's quite strange." Yunxi said again, "Prince, look at that field again. It's so lush and green. It's so beautiful."

The prince nodded: "It looks good, it looks good."

Arriving in the suburbs, Yunxi couldn't wait to get off the carriage. She saw vast expanses of peach blossoms as gorgeous as pink clouds, petals fluttering down in the breeze.

Yunxi ran towards the peach forest excitedly, and the prince shouted from behind, "Slow down, Xier."

Yunxi got off the carriage and walked into the peach forest, where flower petals fell one after another.

The prince followed behind her and looked at her cheerful figure.

I saw Yunxi's petite body running around in the peach forest like a lively little deer.

She was wearing a light pink dress, the hem of which swayed gently with her movements.

The pearls and jade on Yunxi's head sparkled in the sunlight, her pink face was rosy, and her big eyes were full of lively light.

Yunxi plucked a peach blossom and tucked it into her hair. She turned around, tilted her head, and asked the prince with sparkling eyes, "Prince, does it look good?"

The voice was crisp and gentle, with a hint of anticipation.

The prince looked at her with tenderness in his eyes and nodded hurriedly: "She is beautiful, more beautiful than flowers."

Yunxi giggled after hearing this, and her laughter sounded like a string of silver bells, clear and pleasant.

At this moment, a melodious flute sound came from the distance. Yunxi stopped laughing, pricked up her ears, looked around curiously, and said, "Your Highness, this flute sound is so pleasant."

As he spoke, he raised his foot and walked towards the direction where the sound came from.

The prince followed her with a smile and said, "Let's go and take a look."

The two of them walked towards the sound of the flute and saw a young man in white sitting under a peach tree playing the flute.

The young man had a handsome face, delicate eyebrows and eyes, and his white robe fluttered in the wind, giving him a rather immortal air.

When the young master saw them, he quickly stood up and saluted: "Greetings, Your Majesty."

The prince waved his hand and said, "No need to be so polite."

Yunxi looked at the young master without blinking, and praised him sincerely: "Your flute sound is really beautiful."

The young man smiled slightly, revealing his white teeth, and replied, "Thank you, Madam, for the compliment."

The three of them stood under the peach tree and chatted for a while.

When Yunxi was talking, she gestured with her hands from time to time, which looked very cute.

After chatting for a while, Yunxi tugged at the prince's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Prince, let's continue shopping."

The prince agreed with a smile, and the two continued to stroll in the peach forest.

Yunxi pointed at this peach blossom and said it was beautiful, then pulled the prince to look at that one.

The prince accompanied her patiently, with a doting smile on his face all the time.

Before I knew it, the sun was setting and it was already evening.

The prince and Yunxi boarded the carriage and returned to the mansion. In the carriage, Yunxi, still somewhat reluctant to leave, kept telling the prince about what she had seen and heard in the peach forest.

The prince listened with a smile and occasionally responded.

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion and having dinner, Yunxi and the prince went to the courtyard to enjoy the cool air.

Yunxi leaned against the prince, looked up at the stars in the sky, and said softly: "Prince, I am very happy today."

The prince gently stroked Yunxi's hair and said, "As long as you are happy, I will be satisfied."

Yunxi sat up straight, put her arms around the prince's arm, and said coquettishly, "Prince, we must come out to play more often in the future."

The prince nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, whatever you say."

Yunxi rubbed against the prince's arms again and sighed with satisfaction.

Yunxi nodded, a happy smile on her face.
