The empress dowager had a smile on her face as she said, "Since you've come, hurry up and invite him in."

"Yes, Esteemed Empress Dowager."

Hua Yuan was extremely familiar with the empress dowager's palace. However, this time, she had used a new identity and her mood had drastically changed.

Once upon a time, when she set foot here, her identity was that of the Empress Dowager's niece. When she came back today, she was the empress dowager's granddaughter-in-law. Such a change in status, made Hua Yuan always have some illusions that things are different.

"Grandson (granddaughter-in-law) pays respects to Royal Grandmother. Royal Grandmother Wan-Fu Jin'an."

"Okay, okay, okay. Get up, get up!"

Afterwards, she instructed the palace maid to pass the items she had prepared earlier to Hua Yuan. The empress dowager pointed to one of the items and said, "This is the map of a hundred sons and one thousand grandchildren.

Hua Yuan blushed and didn't take up the topic. On the other hand, Jun Yuqing's face was very thick as he said, "If Esteemed Empress Dowager is too concerned, your grandson will definitely work hard and try his best to get you to carry his great-grandson as soon as possible!"

Hua Yuan's face had originally turned red, but after hearing Jun Yuqing's words, his mood turned even worse. She blushed as she glared at Jun Yu Qing fiercely! He didn't even look around to see where he was and how he could actually talk according to his own personality! What if he didn't want to talk to the man in front of him anymore?

The empress had already been sitting there for a long time without seeing anyone greet her. She was so angry that she wanted to smash her entire being into the palace! At least he managed to suppress the anger in his heart. Then, with a fake smile, he said, "In the blink of an eye, Xiao Qi has grown to be this big. Although the things that the Queen Mother has prepared are not precious, it is still the Queen Mother's kind intentions. "

Jun Yu Qing frowned in disgust, while Hua Yuan looked on in bewilderment.

Why did Jun Yuqing's disgust towards the Empress grow even deeper? She could even see the killing intent in his eyes! Thinking of Jun Yu Qing's mother, Hua Yuan suddenly felt that he had truly figured out the truth.

It was said that Jun Yu Qing's mother was a concubine at the time. At that time, the empress had already given birth to her eldest son, but the emperor had never made up his mind to make the empress's heir a crown prince. Later on, when Jun Yuqing and his mother were pregnant, the Emperor had been so drunk and happy that he had even said things like "if I were a boy, I would become the crown prince!"

And because he had been drunk, he did not know what was going on, so he did not keep his mouth shut. The empress had known about it at the first possible moment.

He had given birth to his first son, but the emperor was still unhappy about making him the crown prince! This made the empress's entire body burn with fury! He had poisoned Jun Yu Qing's mother like that!

Of course, this was only the version that Hua Yuan heard later. Hua Yuan wasn't sure about the details, but he knew that the empress had a deep grudge with Jun Yuqing!

She shifted her position towards where Jun Yu was sitting, then reached out her hand to tug on his hand, telling him to control his emotions and not to suddenly go berserk.

When Jun Yu Qing sensed the warmth of Hua Yuan's small hand, she immediately sobered up.

The empress dowager and empress then asked a few more questions before bringing the two back.

Hua Yuan did not stay at the palace to eat. On her way back, she sat on the carriage and fell asleep. He curled up into a ball in Jun Yu Qing's arms. His breathing was shallow, and Jun Yu Qing seemed to be holding a rare treasure along the way.

When the carriage had arrived outside the Su palace, Jun Yuqing looked at Hua Yuan sleeping soundly, and decided to not wake her up. Instead, he took them out of the carriage and carried them into their room in front of everyone in the manor. He even carefully placed the person on the bed and tucked them in before leaving.

Before leaving, he even instructed Bai Qin, "If the wangfei wakes up, the first thing she does is notify me."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

After that, Jun Yu Qing went to his study.

By the time Hua Yuan woke up, it was already past lunchtime. As soon as she woke up, Bai Qin sent someone to inform Jun Yuqing. She just found out that her young lady did not get up, and the prince also did not eat breakfast. Just thinking about it made him extremely moved.

When Hua Yuan was fully dressed, Jun Yuqing had already arrived. Seeing the gentleness in Hua Yuan's eyes, he said, "Are you hungry? If you are hungry, get someone to prepare a meal right now. "

Hua Yuan asked in surprise, "Eh, have you never eaten before?"

"I've been waiting for you. If you hadn't accompanied me to eat, I would have felt that it was a bit tasteless."

Hua Yuan felt that ever since she was married to this person, she had been teased by him every day. Furthermore, the teasing methods she used only increased with every passing day. When he had not come into contact with this person, he felt that this person's personality was cold and aloof. However, only after coming into contact with him did he know that this person was hiding his teasing nature.

Hua Yuan was at a loss for words. At the same time, she instructed, "Then let's set the table."

During dinner, Hua Yuan recounted what she had said to him that day in the Imperial Garden. After she finished speaking, she turned to Jun Yuqing and asked, "Tell me, what should we do now?"

Jun Yu Qing laughed: "What do we do? You never need to worry about these things. These are all things that I should trouble myself with. You, are responsible for enjoying this wonderful time, do you understand? "

Hua Yuan nodded, indicating that she understood. However, she still wanted to ask and take a look before deciding.

After all, he was in the center of seizing the throne. Even though Jun Yu Qing didn't have much hope of knowing where he stood. However, the power he wielded was impressive. This was the power every prince was fighting for when they took over the throne!

Originally, the power of Jun Yuqing could not be underestimated. Now that he was married to Hua Yuan, both the Duke of Ling's estate and the Xiang Residence had been imperceptibly added to his power. There weren't many people who were jealous enough to try and fool Jun Yu Qing!

Now that the two of them were in the middle of such a storm, how could they not be harmed at all? Would he really be able to enjoy the world that Jun Yu Qing had propped up for him, regardless of everything else?

Of course it was impossible!

After dinner, the two of them took a walk in the back garden.

Jun Yu Qing hugged Hua Yuan and said in a low voice: "Iris, do you still remember that time I went to the West Mountain to kill bandits?"

At that time, their relationship was already quite good. Hua Yuan had even given him a lot of pills and such. Hua Yuan was very pleased with her safe return.

But wasn't this matter a long time ago? Why was it suddenly mentioned again?

Hua Yuan inclined her head, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"There is a small gold mine west of the hill where the bandits are. "Later on, I left my trusted aide there to guard the mine. A few days ago, news came from my trusted aide, he even found some iron ores over there!"

Hua Yuan was about to faint from the news!

This damned gold mine!

Did that mean that she, Hua Yuan, was also someone who could own an entire gold mine? Originally, he had already seen it from the family background that Jun Yu Qing had handed over to him. But now, he was adding on a gold mine that was shining with a golden light. He simply wanted to blind her!

Hua Yuan asked, "Then the current gold mine and the iron ore discovered afterwards, who is the more valuable one?"

Moreover, these two ores would be his personal possessions in the future!

Seeing Hua Yuan's golden eyes, Jun Yu Qing patted her head and smiled lovingly.

As if she knew what Hua Yuan was thinking, she said, "This mountain is indeed your personal product!"
