The powerful princess arrives with a space warehouse

Chapter 1006 You're finally back!

As evening fell, the Prince Jing's mansion was shrouded in twilight. Not only were the lanterns outside the main gate lit early, but the glass lanterns along the paths and corridors in the courtyard were also lit. This was at the behest of the head steward, who had already received the message from Chu Feng's messenger.

When Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao returned from the palace, it was already completely dark, but the dim yellow lights along the way illuminated the blue bricks and gray tiles, adding a touch of warmth to their journey.

The servants in the Prince's mansion were overjoyed to see the Prince and Princess return. The maids of Yunqing Courtyard, where Ouyang Yunyao had previously lived, were especially delighted.

Although Ouyang Yunyao now lives in Chenfeng Courtyard with Chu Chenjing, the maids and servants still live in Yunqing Courtyard when she is not in the mansion.

In fact, Ouyang Yunyao had long planned to expand Chenfeng Courtyard. She had always wanted to demolish the wall of a small, vacant courtyard next to it and connect it with Chenfeng Courtyard.

In this way, the newly incorporated room in the courtyard can be converted into her and Chu Chenjing's bedroom. The original bedroom in Chenfeng Courtyard was next to Chu Chenjing's study, which was inconvenient for them because he often had to discuss matters with others.

This adjustment ensures that those who come to report or discuss matters with Chu Chenjing will not be disturbed. However, due to recent busyness, this matter has been temporarily put on hold.

When Ouyang Yunyao returned to the manor, Xiao Cui was the most excited. As soon as Ouyang Yunyao and the others arrived at the entrance of Chenfeng Courtyard, Xiao Cui excitedly ran over. Upon seeing Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao together, she quickly bowed and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness."

Then she excitedly exclaimed, "Your Highness, you're finally back!"

Ouyang Yunyao looked at Xiao Cui who had come up to her and teased, "Cui'er, you're not excited to see me, are you? You're excited to see Wei Lei, aren't you?"

"Pfft!" The people walking behind Ouyang Yunyao all burst into laughter at her words. This made Xiao Cui and Wei Lei, who was also walking behind, blush with laughter. Xiao Cui stamped her foot shyly and looked at Ouyang Yunyao, saying, "Your Highness, you're always teasing me." Then she ran into the courtyard.

As Ouyang Yunyao and Chu Chenjing entered Chenfeng Courtyard, the steward came in and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, dinner is ready."

"Alright, let's go to the dining room now." Chu Chenjing waved to the butler.

As soon as they entered the dining room and sat down, Xiao Cui thoughtfully instructed the chubby girl to bring ginger soup, saying, "Your Highness, Your Highness, please have a bowl of ginger soup to ward off the cold."

She then made Mei'er, Xiao Lü, and the returning guards and secret agents drink a bowl of wine.

"Cui'er, you are so thoughtful." Ouyang Yunyao praised with a smile.

Chu Feng took a sip of ginger soup and teased Wei Lei, "Wei Lei, are we benefiting from your success?"

Dinner ended quickly amidst everyone's laughter and conversation.

After dinner, Ouyang Yunyao went back to his and Chu Chenjing's bedroom first.

The room was very warm. Xiao Cui had already set up two braziers of charcoal fire, and the heater was burning brightly.

Although the New Year had passed, it was still winter, and this winter was exceptionally cold; the cold wind was still howling outside the window. If it weren't for the brazier, the room at night would have been like an ice cave.

As soon as Ouyang Yunyao stepped into the room, she felt the chill outside disappear. Looking at Xiao Cui busily tidying the bedding, she smiled and teased, "Hey, it's only been a few days, and our Xiao Cui has become so thoughtful!"

"Haha, yes, Xiao Cui has become sensible," Mei'er and Xiao Lü teased Xiao Cui, and the maids laughed and joked.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Cui immediately seized the opportunity to plead, "Your Highness, you must take me with you next time you go out!"

After a while, Ouyang Yunyao asked about Xia Yan, Xia Fei, and Xing'er, the current situation of the school, and the operation of the hot pot restaurant.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, everything is fine!" Xiao Cui quickly replied.

Upon hearing this, Mei'er and Xiao Lü pleaded, "Your Highness, Xiao Lü and I will go tomorrow morning."

Ouyang Yunyao looked at the two of them and said, "You two take a day off tomorrow and come over the day after."

“Your Highness, we’ve rested until today. We’re not tired. Mei’er and I will go over tomorrow.”

Ouyang Yunyao thought for a moment, then asked, "Aren't you all really tired?"

“Your Highness, we’ve rested for so many days, we’re not tired at all,” Mei’er said.

"Alright! Let's go take a look together tomorrow."

"Your Highness, we can go there ourselves. You should rest tomorrow."

"It's alright!" Seeing that the night outside the window was getting darker, Ouyang Yunyao said to the three of them, "It's cold at night, so you don't need to guard this place anymore. You three should go back and rest early. We'll go to the school together tomorrow morning."

Just then, Xiao Cui remembered something and quickly said, "Your Highness, the hot water is ready and it's warming on the stove. Let us fetch the hot water for you so you can bathe and then rest."

"Are you crazy!" Ouyang Yunyao said with a smile. "I'll just take a bath in my space later." Nowadays, Ouyang Yunyao has long referred to the Qiankun bag as her space to the others.

"Oh, right! Your Highness! Your space is warm, and it's not cold at all when you take a bath!" Xiao Cui suddenly realized and nodded her little head quickly.

"That's right! You guys should go and get some rest too!"

"Yes, Your Highness, please go in and take a bath. We'll be leaving now." The three replied in unison. Just as they were about to turn and leave the room, Ouyang Yunyao called out to them, "Wait!"

"Is there anything else, Your Highness?" The three stopped in their tracks, and Xiao Cui asked.

"Remember to add an extra brazier in your room. It's windy and especially cold tonight," Ouyang Yunyao instructed.

Mei'er quickly waved her hand: "Your Highness, we are not cold, a pot of charcoal fire is enough."

“Listen to me, it’s really cold tonight. We need to heat up an extra pot to warm things up, okay?” Ouyang Yunyao said, emphasizing her words.

Looking into the princess's concerned eyes, the three felt a surge of warmth in their hearts. After a moment of hesitation, they replied in unison, "Yes, Your Highness!" With that, the three left the room and slowly closed the door behind them.

After the three left, Ouyang Yunyao didn't rush into the space to bathe. She walked to the soft couch by the window and sat down. She picked up a book she usually read from the small bookshelf next to her and started flipping through it. She was waiting for Chu Chenjing to come over so they could bathe together in the space.

On the other side, in the study of Chenfeng Courtyard in Prince Jing's mansion, the candlelight flickered, illuminating the figure of Chu Chenjing sitting at his desk.

Upon his return to the manor, both the steward and the commander of the manor's secret guard battalion reported to him about his situation during his absence.

Chu Chenjing listened attentively, occasionally nodding and asking a few questions. Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the study, followed by Han Fengli's familiar voice: "Ah Jing, you're finally back!"

It turned out that as soon as Han Fengli heard the news of Chu Chenjing's return, he quickly finished his dinner at his own residence and rushed over.
