Yan Jiuchao deliberately changed the topic. He bowed and put on his shoes. “The remaining princes are about to be conferred the title of prince. Prepare the congratulatory gifts first. When the imperial edict is issued, send them the congratulatory gifts.”

“What about you?” Yu Wan asked, holding her cheek.

Yan Jiuchao paused.

Yu Wan looked at his back and said, “They’ve already been conferred a title. His Majesty won’t leave you behind. Are you still planning to refuse this time?”

Others could not ask for the title of prince, but he had rejected it time and time again. He did not even want the position of prince. Those who knew said that he was angry with the Emperor, but those who did not know would think that he had gone crazy.

Yan Jiuchao did not say anything.

Yu Wan got off the bed and found a set of clothes for him to change into. “Yan Jiuchao, have you… never been able to accept your father’s death?”

Yan Jiuchao paused and said, “I’ll consider it.”

Yu Wan was stunned for a moment. When she realized that he was referring to considering inheriting the throne, Yu Wan shook her head. “There’s no need to force yourself. It’s fine even if you don’t inherit it. I’m marrying you, not your throne.”

Yan Jiuchao muttered, “Princess Consort Yan has a salary.”

Yu Wan’s expression turned serious. “Think about it thoroughly!”

Yan Jiuchao: “…”

As the wedding date of Prince Cheng and the princess of Xiongnu approached, the Capital gradually began to be under martial law. It was said that the envoy of Nanzhao would arrive in the Capital soon. In two to three days, it would probably not be easy for the commoners to enter and leave the city. Yu Wan decided to bring the little fellows back first.

“Young Madam, the snacks are ready.” Zi Su walked in with two large food boxes.

“Is it from Zhouji?” Yu Wan asked.

Zhouji was a famous snack shop in the Capital. Its osmanthus cake was very good. Yu Wan accidentally tasted it and felt that the children should like it, so she asked Jiang Xiaowu and Jiang Hai to buy a few boxes.

“The satin and calligraphy are also prepared.” Zi Su got someone to carry a few large boxes in. The satin was for the Yu family, and the calligraphy was for Little Bruiser. She hadn’t been back for so long, so she wondered how that little fellow’s homework was.

Yu Wan smiled when she thought of her brother.

“What is this?” Yu Wan’s gaze landed on the innermost box.

Zi Su was puzzled. “Young Master asked the Shadow Guard to bring it over. He said that it was some… sword. I don’t understand either.”

It must be for her father. Yu Wan smiled. “Just keep it. By the way, the Empress asked someone to send a box of rouge powder a few days ago. Did you put it in it?”

“Here, Young Madam.” Zi Su opened the second box and took out an exquisite mahogany box.

Yu Wan did not know if the rouge was good, but this box was really beautiful.

“Where’s your Young Master?” Yu Wan asked again.

Zi Su closed the box. “Young Master has entered the palace. Is Young Master also going to Lotus Flower Village today? Do you want to send someone to ask him?”

Yu Wan said, “There’s no need. I’ll go back myself.”

It was not like the return of the bride to her maiden family. It did not matter if Yan Jiuchao went or not. Moreover, the Imperial Court has been very busy recently. It was said that the Honglu Temple did not have enough manpower. The Emperor had actually dragged Prince Cheng, who was about to get married, to make up the numbers.

Of course, Yan Jiuchao was not busy with this. He used the excuse that the Eldest Prince was seriously injured and could not take office to shamelessly snatch Zhou Huai’s case. A person who had not even been an official for a few days actually went to the Dali Temple to review the case. There were enough memorials to impeach him, but the Emperor turned a blind eye and let Yan Jiuchao cause trouble in the Dali Temple.

Yu Wan thought of something and asked, “Did Young Master drink the medicine before he left?”

The remaining poison in his body had yet to be cleared, so he had to recuperate for at least three to five months.

Zi Su said, “I did. According to Young Madam’s instructions, I saw Young Master drink it with my own eyes.”

“That’s good.” Yu Wan nodded. There didn’t seem to be anything else to remind her. “Stay behind and let Fu Ling and Ban Xia accompany me back.”

“Yes.” Zi Su agreed and turned to call Ban Xia and Fu Ling.

Yu Wan originally wanted to bring Yu Song along, but the directorate’s monthly examination was coming soon, so Yu Song had to study. After breakfast, Yu Wan brought Fu Ling and Ban Xia into the carriage back to the village.

Yu Wan was a little excited. She calculated carefully. She had not seen her sons for half a month. She did not know how they were doing. Did they eat well? Did they lose weight again?

This was the most worrying thing. Thinking of the few times the little fellows had lost weight, Yu Wan regretted it very much. She shouldn’t have left them in the countryside for so long. She should have brought them along and fed them well.

As she was thinking, the carriage entered the village.

“Madam, which family is it?” Jiang Xiaowu asked. He and Jiang Hai had never been here before, so he didn’t know where the Yu family was.

“The one in the west.” As soon as Yu Wan finished speaking, she pointed at the Yu Family’s old residence. “I’ll go to Uncle’s house first.”

“Aye!” Jiang Xiaowu raised his horsewhip and stopped the carriage in front of the Yu Family’s old residence. The villagers had all gone to work in the workshop, so the old residence was empty. Fu Ling alighted from the carriage first and helped Yu Wan and Ban Xia down.

“Who’s here?” Aunt’s voice came from the kitchen.

“It’s me, Aunt.” Yu Wan smiled and entered the central room.

“Ah Wan?” Aunt hurriedly put down her half-washed clothes and walked out anxiously. “It’s really you! I thought I heard wrongly!”

“Aunt.” Yu Wan walked forward.

Aunt grabbed her hand excitedly. “They went to the workshop. The children are in the backyard!”

Yu Wan quickly went to the backyard and looked for a long time, but she did not recognize her sons. “Uh… where are they?”

“Here! Here!” Aunt patted the shoulder of the little fellows who were squatting on the ground and playing with water. “Dabao, your mother is here!”

Dabao turned around in a daze.

Yu Wan was stunned.

Soon, Er’bao and Xiaobao came out of the kitchen with a handful of rice in their hands. They were going to feed the wild fish in the basin.

Yu Wan was in a mess.

These-these three fat little fellows were really her sons?!
