The Pretty Wife of General Jinxiu Huanian

Chapter 134 Memories of the Past

On this day, golden sunlight shone through the window lattice and shone brightly into the house.

Yunxi was wearing a light blue dress and sat quietly opposite the prince.

Yunxi raised her jade hand, took a sip of tea, and slowly said, "Your Majesty, when I think back to when I first came to this ancient time, I really feel like I was dreaming."

After saying that, she sighed softly and frowned slightly.

The prince nodded slightly, his eyes filled with deep emotion, and said, "Yes, when you first entered the Marquis' Mansion, you walked so lightly and cautiously, which really made people pity you."

As he spoke, he reached out and patted Yunxi's shoulder.

Yunxi smiled bitterly, a smile tinged with bitterness. "That Marquis's wife is really not a good person. She always makes things difficult for me. And that legitimate daughter is so arrogant and domineering. When I think about it now, my heart still beats fast."

As she spoke, she stroked her chest with her hand.

The prince held Yunxi's hand tightly, his tone firm and powerful, "Fortunately, my Yunxi is very intelligent. You have handled all those difficult problems skillfully."

Yunxi's eyes softened. "I still remember when I first showed off my medical skills and treated the people in the Marquis' Mansion. At that time, everyone looked at me with eyes full of surprise and disbelief."

The prince smiled and said, "That's why you caught my attention."

The prince raised his sword-like eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a somewhat unruly smile. "Yunxi, I'm used to seeing those women in the Marquis' Mansion who are coy and pretentious. You are so different, how can I not pay attention to you?"

After saying this, he crossed his arms over his chest, his aura seemed to fill the entire room.

Yunxi's face flushed, like the first peach blossoms in spring. She bit her lip slightly and said coquettishly, "Then I accidentally saved the prince. It was a fate that I never thought I would have."

When the prince heard this, a soft light instantly shone in his eyes. He took a step forward, took Yunxi's hand, looked at her affectionately and said, "I was injured and unconscious at the time. The moment I woke up and saw you, I knew you were my destiny.

Your caring eyes and gentle gestures are like a stream of clear water, flowing straight into my heart."

Yunxi lowered her head slightly, twisting the corner of her clothes with her fingers, and continued, "Later, there were constant disturbances in the Marquis' Mansion, and conspiracies and plots followed one after another."

Upon hearing this, the prince frowned and snorted coldly, "Those who harbor evil intentions will not be easily forgiven by this prince.

If they dare to play tricks under my nose, I will make them know what regret is! "

As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves, and his menacing look made people dare not look directly at him.

Yunxi gently patted the prince's hand and said softly, "Fortunately, I was smart enough to see through it and escape danger.

Later, the things I experienced together with the prince were dangerous, difficult, but also sweet."

The prince sighed and said, "Yes, if I hadn't intervened in time, who knows what would have happened at the palace banquet.

I still remember those guys trying to embarrass you, but you remained calm and handled the situation with ease, truly making me proud."

A hint of determination flashed in Yunxi's eyes as she raised her head and looked at the prince. "As for the power struggle in the court, Your Majesty and I will work together to deal with it. It's really thrilling every step of the way."

The prince stood up, walked to the window, looked out, and put his hands behind his back, "Fortunately, everything is over now, and we can finally have a happy ending after all the hardships.

Back then, we lived in fear and had to be cautious with every step.”

Yunxi walked over to the prince and stood shoulder to shoulder with him: "When the prince went to war, I worried day and night, hoping that the prince would return safely."

The prince turned around and embraced Yunxi in his arms: "This prince knows your feelings, so I fight hard every time to kill the enemy, just to return to you as soon as possible."

Yunxi raised her face, her eyes filled with tenderness, "Your Highness, you are away at war, and I am worried about you day and night at home. Every time I hear news from the front, my heart jumps into my throat."

As he spoke, he reached out and gently stroked the prince's chest.

The prince held Yunxi's hand tightly and said, "Don't be afraid, my beloved concubine. I fought bravely on the battlefield and never retreated. I just wanted to finish the battle quickly and come back to be with you and the child."

Yunxi looked up at the prince and said, "I still remember your joy when I was pregnant."

The prince grinned, his face brimming with happiness. "At that time, I was so happy that I didn't know what to do. I ran all over the mansion, giving orders, afraid that there would be any mistakes and that I would treat you and the child unfairly."

Yunxi smiled and said, "After the child was born, the mansion was filled with laughter and joy. Those days were truly wonderful."

The prince nodded, his eyes softening. "That's right. The cries and laughter of the little ones have made this mansion bustling with activity. It makes me feel at ease just watching them."

Yunxi sighed: "It's just that occasionally when I think of my life before I traveled through time, I still feel a little emotional."

The prince patted Yunxi's back and said, "My beloved, let the past be the past. We are in this mansion with children and a stable life. What else can we be dissatisfied with?"

Yunxi leaned gently in the prince's arms: "Your Highness is right, I should cherish the present."

At this time, the maid came in and reported: "My Lord, Madam, there is someone outside the palace who wants to see you."

The prince frowned, "Who?"

The maid replied, "It's a woman who claims to be acquainted with the lady."

Yunxi asked doubtfully, "Do you know me?"

The prince said, "Go and see."

The two walked hand in hand to the front hall. As they walked, the prince said to Yunxi, "My beloved, don't worry. I am here."

Yunxi nodded slightly, with a hint of uneasiness on her face.

When I arrived at the front hall, I saw a woman in plain clothes standing there.

Yunxi and the prince came to the front hall and saw a woman in plain clothes standing there.

When the woman saw Yunxi, she excitedly stepped forward and said, "Sister Yunxi, do you still remember me?"

The woman was wearing plain clothes, had a thin figure, messy hair, and a weathered look on her face.

She widened her eyes and looked at Yunxi with anticipation, her hands unconsciously clenching the corners of her clothes.

Yunxi looked at her carefully and suddenly realized: "So it's you, Xiaoyu."

Yunxi's face showed a look of surprise. She hurried forward to hold Xiaoyu's hand and looked her up and down. "Oh, it's been a long time. You look like you've suffered a lot."

Xiaoyu's eyes were filled with tears: "Sister Yunxi, I haven't seen you for many years. Are you okay?"

Tears welled up in Xiaoyu's eyes, her lips trembled slightly, and her voice was choked with sobs. "Sister, I've been thinking about seeing you again day and night."

Yunxi held Xiaoyu's hand and said, "I'm fine. How about you?"

Yunxi looked concerned, her brows slightly furrowed, her gaze fixed on Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu sighed: "I've had a pretty rough life these past few years."

Xiaoyu lowered her head, her eyes dim, and she sighed heavily, looking as if a heavy burden was weighing on her heart.

Yunxi asked, "What happened?"

Yunxi asked anxiously, her eyes wide open, her expression full of anxiety and worry.

Xiaoyu narrated the story: "After I separated from my sister, I married into a family. However, that family treated me very badly and my life was extremely miserable.

The mother-in-law who is in charge of the household finds fault with me all day long. She either complains that my cooking is not good or that I don’t wash clothes cleanly.

I work from dawn to dusk, yet I never get a good look from him. That man is also a loser, he only listens to his mother and always beats and scolds me."

When Xiaoyu said this, tears couldn't stop flowing down her face, her shoulders shrugged, and she cried so sadly.

Yunxi said angrily, "How could this be?"

Yunxi was so angry that she stamped her feet, put her hands on her hips, and her face flushed red. "This family is too much. How could they treat you like this!"

Xiaoyu continued, “Later, I couldn’t stand it anymore, so I ran away and wandered around.

During the journey, we slept in the open air and sometimes we couldn't even have a hot meal.

I really didn’t know what to do, but luckily God helped me meet my sister again.”

Xiaoyu wiped her tears with her sleeves and looked at Yunxi pitifully.

Yunxi looked at Xiaoyu distressedly: "So what are your plans for the future?"

Yunxi patted Xiaoyu's shoulder gently, her eyes full of tenderness.

Xiaoyu looked at Yunxi and said, "Sister, I have nowhere to go. Can I stay at the Marquis' Mansion for a few days?"

Xiaoyu had a pleading look on her face, waiting for Yunxi's answer eagerly, her hands tightly grasping Yunxi's arms.

Yunxi looked at the prince, and the prince nodded.

Yunxi said, "Of course you can, just stay here with peace of mind."

Yunxi smiled and said to Xiaoyu, then took her hand, "Don't worry, in this mansion, your sister will take care of you."

Xiaoyu burst into tears of gratitude: "Thank you, sister, thank you, Your Majesty."

Xiaoyu quickly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, "Sister and the prince are so kind and generous. Xiaoyu will never forget them."

After Yunxi arranged for Xiaoyu to stay, she returned to the room with the prince.

The prince said, "This woman has a pitiful life story. You must take good care of her."

Yunxi nodded: "I understand."

From then on, Yunxi took even more care of Xiaoyu. Although Xiaoyu's appearance was not outstanding, her eyes and eyebrows showed a stubbornness and tenacity.

When Yunxi sat and talked with her, Xiaoyu always kept her head down, twisting the corners of her clothes nervously with her hands, and occasionally looked up at Yunxi, her eyes full of gratitude and dependence.

Yunxi, always with a gentle smile on her face, asked Xiaoyu softly, "Xiaoyu, do you feel better today?"

Xiaoyu nodded quickly and said in a small voice: "Sister, I'm much better now. Thank you for your concern."

But there were always some restless servants in the mansion. One day, Yunxi was passing by the garden when she heard a few maids whispering together.

"What's the background of Xiaoyu? She doesn't look like someone who would be a worry-free person."

"Who said it wasn't her? Why did Madam bring her back? Who knows what kind of trouble will happen in the future."

When Yunxi heard this, she was so angry that her face turned red. She rushed over and shouted, "Shut up!

Xiaoyu is my friend. If anyone dares to talk nonsense again, watch out for your skin!"

The maids were so frightened that they trembled all over and quickly knelt down, begging for mercy: "Madam, please calm down. We will never dare to do it again."

Yunxi glared at them with a stern look in her eyes: "Remember this! If I hear such words again, you will be in trouble!"

While Yunxi was busy dealing with the servants who were gossiping, the news from the court had caused panic in the Marquis's Mansion.

The prince received urgent news about the unstable situation on the border and paced back and forth in his study, his brows furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly.

When Yunxi heard the news, she rushed over. Seeing the prince's appearance, her heart was in a knot.

"Your Highness, what should we do?" Yunxi looked worried.

The prince stopped, looked at Yunxi, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that I will go to war again."

When Yunxi heard this, tears welled up in her eyes. She tugged at the prince's sleeve, her voice trembling, "Prince, be careful on this trip."

The prince reached out and patted Yunxi's hand, comforting her: "Don't worry, I will definitely return safely."

Before leaving, the prince held Yunxi's hand tightly and repeatedly reminded her: "Please take care of the affairs of the mansion."

Yunxi nodded heavily, her eyes full of determination: "Don't worry, Your Majesty."

The prince led his troops and marched to the border. Yunxi stood at the gate of the mansion, watching the prince's retreating figure, unwilling to leave for a long time.

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Yunxi took care of Xiaoyu while worrying about the prince.

She was busy during the day and tossed and turned in bed at night, unable to sleep, hoping that the prince would return victorious from the battle as soon as possible.

As the days passed, Yunxi prayed every day that the prince would return victoriously as soon as possible.
