Jiang Mingyue glanced at her surrounding . It was nighttime, and she stood at the pavilion, waiting for her husband . Her lips curved into a smile as Mingyue heard the familiar footsteps . She turned around and met with Yang Yun's gentle and doting gaze .

"You're here early," Yang Yun approached Mingyue and grabbed both her hand . A frown appeared on his face when he felt her cold hands . "I know that you're staying in the palace to look after the princess, but please take care of yourself, too when I can't be by your side . "

Mingyue laughed . "I know . It's just that," she paused and lowered her gaze . "I miss you . So I came over a bit earlier . "

Yang Yun chuckled at Mingyue's words . He pulled her towards his embrace and let her head rested on his chest . His grip on her hands tightened as he tried to keep her warm . "I miss you too," Yang Yun said with a sigh . "I should have come over earlier . "

Mingyue stayed in her husband's arm for a while and suddenly giggled .

"What is it?" Yang Yun asked . He pulled away to look at Mingyue's face .

"Sneaking to meet you at night like this, don't you feel like we're having an affair?"

Yang Yun's face darkened . He raised his hand and flicked Mingyue on her forehead . "What affair? We're married . "

Mingyue pouted as she rubbed her forehead . Yang Yun had controlled his strength as he was afraid to hurt her, so her forehead was not as painful .

"Does it hurt?" Yang Yun started to panic when he saw Mingyue's aggrieved expression . He cursed himself for not being gentler with her and helped Mingyue to rub the painful area .

"It doesn't hurt so much," Mingyue said after a few seconds pa.s.sed .

Yang Yun stared at his wife with a sigh . The two of them chatted briefly before Yang Yun untied the bag around his shoulder . "Grandfather sent a few pills and medicinal herbs for the princess . I also prepared a few snacks for you just in case if you get hungry in the hall later . Everything should be inside this bag . "

Mingyue peeked into the bag to ensure the herbs she need were all inside the sack . Only then did she look at the snacks that Yang Yun had prepared for her . With one glance, Mingyue could tell that the snacks were from Yan Zifu's place . "Yang Yun, you are so good to me . " Mingyue wrapped her arms around her husband's waist .

Yang Yun chuckled at her coquettish act and pinched her nose softly . "You should go now . The princess will be worried if you leave her side for too long . " His gaze softened when Mingyue nodded absentmindedly . "Don't be sad . we'll see each other again after a few days at the hunting ground . "

The couple parted after a while . Yang Yun headed out of the palace and headed towards the camp while Mingyue made her way to the banquet hall . The lively sound of music and laughter could be heard as Mingyue approached the building . Mingyue paused when she met a eunuch at the intersection .

The eunuch stopped when he saw Mingyue and greeted her . "Physician Jiang . "

Mingyue nodded . She let the two men advance and glanced at the man behind the eunuch . Mingyue frowned as she thought that the man looked familiar face . Her eyes widened as she recalled seeing the man's portrait on Her Highness' candidates list before . "Isn't this is prince number five?" Mingyue whispered to herself .

Prince number five, however, seemed to hear her voice as he turned around and raised his brow towards Mingyue .

Mingyue immediately lowered her gaze and found her way into the banquet hall . She found the Crown Princess and stood behind her . "Your Highness . "

The Crown Princess smiled when she saw Mingyue . "You're back . "

"Grandfather prepared a new batch of pills for you," Mingyue reported . "You should consume it when we return to your palace . "

Princess Lingchen nodded . A slight frown appeared on her face at the mention of her grandfather's new pills .

Because of her condition, Han Zhenting had prescribed a new pill for her to eat . Although the pills were beneficial and not as bitter as drinking a medicine, eating the pills were painful as her body would feel both hot and cold at the same time .

The princess turned her attention to the dancing girls at the center of the hall . After a while, she leaned back and whispered to Mingyue, "It took you a long time to come back . I hope you had a fulfilling meeting with Captain Yang Yun . " Princess Lingchen glanced at Mingyue with a teasing smile .
