CHAPTER 704: CHAPTER 706: LETTING NATURE TAKE ITS COURSE (2 UPDATES)

Zhengwen and Zhengwu are very well-behaved. From a young age, they hardly ever joked around, always treating Yun Jinnian and Tianci with the utmost respect, never committing the slightest error.

When they went out today, the two of them followed as well, but they sat in front of the carriage with Uncle Cheng, while Hemei and Henuan joined Yun Jinnian and Han Tianci inside the carriage. In the frigid winter month, the two were clad in dark cyan cotton-padded jackets, looking very spirited.

Inside the carriage, Han Tianci sat up straight, feeling uncomfortable from eating too much.

Yun Jinnian looked at him and sighed softly, "Come, let me rub your stomach for you!"

"No, I’m not a little kid anymore!"

Boys and girls should not sit together after the age of ten, and he was already nine years old, which counted as ten.

He could be close to his sister, but he shouldn’t let others gossip.

It was fine for him, but not for his sister.

When the siblings arrived at the entrance of the Princess Residence, Nanny Song and Yuwen Ming came to greet them.

"Sister Ming, Nanny Song!"

Yuwen Ming smiled and took Yun Jinnian’s hand, "Grandmother has been missing you for a long time, follow me in quickly!"

Looking towards Han Tianci, "Is he your brother?"

"Yes, he is!"

"Is he the one called Tiantian?" Yuwen Ming asked, puzzled.

Yun Jinnian nodded, smiling without a word.

Yuwen Ming observed Han Tianci seriously, "He really does have a bit of the family resemblance!"

There were no shortage of boys in the Princess Residence, and when they heard that a boy had arrived, several teenagers eagerly surrounded Han Tianci to talk.

Yuwen Ming led Yun Jinnian through the main gate and into the hall where several Marchionesses were present. Yun Jinnian and Han Tianci bowed to them one by one, and then went together to the Princess’s courtyard.

Haven’t seen her for over a year, the Princess of the state showed little change and seemed to be in good spirits.

Perhaps it was because her most beloved Prince Yanjun was by her side.

"Greetings to Your Highness!"

The Princess burst into laughter, "Dispense with the formalities, please!"

Yun Jinnian rose, followed by Han Tianci.

The Princess looked at Han Tianci, then turned to a few of her grandsons and great-grandsons, "Why don’t you guys go and play with little Master Han!"

Several young lords of the Yuwen family immediately led Chu Yu to the front.

Boys have their own ways of playing.

The Princess beckoned to Yun Jinnian, "Come, sit by my side!"

"Yes!"

Yun Jinnian sat down next to the Princess.

She then asked, "Your Highness, how have you been this past year?"

"Well!"

"And what about the Prince?"

"He’s also doing well, but I still can’t help worrying about him a bit. I’ll call for him in a moment, and you can take his pulse for me!"

"Of course!"

Seeing that Yun Jinnian agreed, the Princess immediately sent for Prince Yanjun.

She then asked Yuwen Ming and several Marchionesses to step down, having a private conversation with Yun Jinnian.

Yuwen Ming was already betrothed, to be married into a prestigious family outside the Capital City, as the principal wife, and in the future, she would have to manage household affairs.

Thus, these days she was learning from the Marchioness and the butler.

Today, as Yun Jinnian came over, it was her responsibility to arrange the lunch; the dishes, desserts, and pastries all required her personal attention, while the Marchioness simply offered guidance.

"Your Sister Ming is already betrothed. She will be the principal wife in the future and will have to take care of all the big and small matters in the house. Now she’s learning from her aunt so that she won’t be flustered when she goes to her in-laws in the future!"

"Sister Ming is betrothed?" Yun Jinnian asked curiously.

"Hmm, she got engaged in June this year and will be married off in March next year!"

"That’s truly a cause for congratulations for Sister Ming!"

The Princess smiled, "What about you? What do you plan to do about your engagement with His Majesty’s son?"

Yun Jinnian was slightly taken aback and after a while, she spoke, "Let nature take its course!"
