The Royal Family's Little Darling: The Princess Mother’s Everyday Life Raising Her Kids

[Cute Kid + Everyone's Darling + Mother-Daughter Love]

Princess Zhuyang, Zhu Yun, married at seventeen, was widowed at eighteen, and at nineteen was forced by the entire court to "recuperate" at the princess's residence outside the capital, on the grounds that "a widow's seclusion brings trouble."

They called it recuperation, but it was basically house arrest.

She thought the rest of her life would be nothing but long nights by a solitary lamp, until one night, when she found a dirty little bundle of joy in the back garden.

The three-and-a-half-year-old child looked up at her with grape-like eyes and called her "fairy mother." Her heart, dead for three years, melted in an instant.

From then on, the princess's residence changed completely:

Burning the Grand Tutor's beard? The old man teased her first!

Fishing out the koi in the imperial garden? She wanted to nourish Mother's health!

Making the Crown Prince cry? He called her an orphan!

The whole capital waited to see how the princess would discipline the wild little girl, but instead

The Empress Dowager held her close and doted on her, the emperor chased after her with gold ingots, and the Crown Prince ran after her, calling, "Wait for me, little sister!"

Then, at a palace banquet, the little girl ran straight into the emperor's arms and called out sweetly, "Uncle."

The emperor stared at the child's face, his voice trembling. "Royal sister, this child… looks exactly like Xiao Yan."

Zhu Yun's expression changed drastically.

She thought she'd found a poor little orphan, but it turned out the child was connected to the astonishing deception behind that "death in battle" three years ago.

And when the mysterious person who had always protected the mother and daughter from the shadows slowly removed his face covering, her eyes reddened:

"You… you're still alive?"
