"As long as you don't think that I'm not worthy of you and can't compare to your female friends, you will definitely not lose me." Su Ye smiled faintly and said, "Actually, I am already very happy that you came back to find me. I thought that you would never come back."
Lu Xuan smiled helplessly and gently stroked Su Ye's hair with his left hand. "You are my legitimate wife. How can I not come back?"
"Then, are you still leaving this time?"
Lu Xuan was silent for a while and then said, "I still have to leave. There are more important things that I need to do."
Su Ye was a little disappointed when she heard that, but she also felt a little relieved. She knew that a man like Lu Xuan would never be restricted by a single place. Zhongzhou was a big place for her, but it was still too small for him.
Thus, Su Ye did not ask when Lu Xuan would leave. She knew that she could not make him stay and would not ask him to stay. Every day that she could see him was one more day.
However, it was Lu Xuan who asked first, "Are you leaving?"
Su Ye knew what he was asking. She hesitated for a moment before shaking her head and saying: "I can't leave. The foundation of the Hundred Herb Hall is here, and your Imperial Palace is also here. If you're not here and I leave as well, then no one will take care of this place."
After a pause, Su Ye continued, "I know that all of this is nothing to you, but I still want to help you manage it well. Perhaps … this is the only thing I can do for you."
What a smart girl, Lu Xuan thought to himself.
"Can you tell me something about yourself? I know that your identity is surely extraordinary, and it can be seen from the subordinates you left me. No matter if it's martial strength or brains, that young man called Long Ming isn't someone that an ordinary person can compare to. "
"My identity?" Lu Xuan blinked and said, "I am the Prince of Anping of the Nine Dragons Dynasty. You are the Princess. Don't you know my identity?"
"Hmph," Su Ye snorted and rubbed her head against Lu Xuan's chest to show her displeasure.
Seeing Su Ye acting coquettishly, Lu Xuan couldn't help but burst into laughter and said, "I'll leave you with a little suspense first. Take your time to guess. Tomorrow, I'll bring you to meet a few big shots. You'll know then. "
"Tomorrow? Where are we going? "Su Ye asked curiously.
"Let's go to the Imperial Palace. Remember to dress up nicely. It's a very important person!"
Hearing Lu Xuan's words, Su Ye could not help but feel a little nervous. She asked, "Is this considered an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her in-laws?"
Lu Xuan stroked Su Ye's hair as he looked at her delicate face and said, "You are not ugly."
Even though Lu Xuan did not say it out loud, Su Ye was able to guess who Lu Xuan was going to take her to. Lu Xuan did not deny it either.
Su Ye, who had been snuggling in Lu Xuan's embrace, felt sleepy again. After hearing Lu Xuan's words, she immediately felt sleepy. She sat up straight and looked at Lu Xuan. She said, "I … I'm a little nervous."
"Why are you nervous? You'll meet them sooner or later. One of the reasons I came to the Central Plains was to bring you to meet them."
Su Ye was happy to hear that, but she was also worried. She was happy because Lu Xuan was acknowledging her identity by saying that, and he was not treating her as an ill-fated relationship due to her amnesia. She was worried that Lu Xuan's parents would not acknowledge her.
Lu Xuan did not want to see Su Ye restless either. He immediately changed the topic and said, "When I came in earlier, I saw that someone was making pastries in the kitchen. Did you want to eat it?"
Su Ye nodded. "Yes, that's right. You should try it. The pastries made by the nannies are pretty good. Every day after lunch, I have to eat some pastries before I have the energy to deal with the city's affairs."
After saying that, Su Ye hurriedly stood up. She pushed open the door and shouted, "Xia Cao, Xia Cao …"
After shouting twice, there was a response. A series of hurried footsteps rang out, and the maidservant who had noticed Lu Xuan's presence earlier appeared at the door. "Your Highness, you've woken up earlier than usual today. Would you like some snacks?"
Usually, they were familiar with Su Ye's routine. They would usually wait outside the door before Su Ye woke up. They did not expect Su Ye to wake up so early today, so they did not wait outside the door.
"Yes, go to the kitchen and bring it. That's right, bring an extra portion."
"Oh, okay. Princess, please wait for a moment. I'll bring it over immediately." Although Xia Cao did not know why Princess wanted an extra portion, there was no way a servant would ask her master questions. Su Ye's appetite was probably better today.
Lu Xuan also got up from the bed and sat beside the table. He said, "This maidservant of yours is quite interesting. When I came in earlier, she vaguely sensed my movements. She is suitable for cultivation."
"Is that so? I have not noticed that before. However, Xia Cao's way of doing things is quite to my liking. "
Lu Xuan picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup for himself. Then, he poured another cup for Su Ye. He said, "Later, ask her if she is willing to cultivate. If she is trustworthy, I can give her some pointers. That way, she will not waste her decent talent. Furthermore, it is best if your personal maidservant has some strength. She will be able to help you at a crucial moment." "Of course, Xia Cao is trustworthy.
"Of course, Xia Cao is trustworthy. In the past, when we were still in the Hundred Herb Hall, she was the one who followed me. Since then, she has not changed. This little girl has always wanted to cultivate. She started cultivating when she was still in the Hundred Herb Hall. Unfortunately, she did not manage to achieve much. The Martial Master who taught her said that her aptitude was only average. So, she gave up on that thought. You are the first person to say that her talent is not bad," Su Ye said with a smile as she sat down.
Lu Xuan smiled. Xia Cao's talent was in Soul Power. Naturally, she would not be able to achieve much if she walked the path of Spiritual Cultivation.
"Princess, what are you talking about?" Xia Cao's voice rang out. Su Ye did not close the door, so Xia Cao directly walked in with a tray. When she saw Lu Xuan, her mouth instantly widened. She almost cried out in shock. However, her good manners allowed her to hold it in.
Heavens, a man actually appeared in the Princess's room. This was a huge matter! She absolutely could not call out, otherwise, the Princess's innocence would be completely ruined.
"Y-Y-Y-Princess …" Xia Cao stammered. She did not know what to say at that moment. She even wondered if she would be silenced because she had discovered something shameful.
When Su Ye saw her like this, she immediately felt both angry and amused. She said, "Why are you barking like a dog? Don't you recognize your Highness?"
"Your Highness?" Xia Cao took a closer look and instantly heaved a sigh of relief. Wasn't this the Young Master Lu that she had seen a few times in the Hundred Herb Hall? After that, he became the Prince of Anping. However, at that time, she had not been arranged to enter the Prince's Residence by Su Ye, so she did not have much interaction with Lu Xuan. In addition, Lu Xuan had not appeared for a few years. In her panic, she actually did not recognize him.
"This servant, Xia Cao, greets Your Highness." After confirming Lu Xuan's identity, Xia Cao hurriedly bowed. However, it was not very convenient for her to carry the tray in her hands.
Lu Xuan waved his hand and said with a smile, "No need to be so courteous. Put down the tray first."
Xia Cao hurriedly placed the tray on the table. Then, she could not help but ask curiously, "Your Highness, how did you come in? This servant has been working in the courtyard, but I did not see anyone come in. "
Lu Xuan casually opened the lid of the tray and picked up a piece of pastry. He teased, "Didn't you already notice that someone passed by? The wind even lifted your dress."
Xia Cao suddenly understood. "Ah … So someone really did pass by. That girl, Winter Insect, even said that it was my illusion. However, Your Highness, you really come and go like a ghost."
