Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart



Not long after everyone had settled down in North Garden, Yuan Xin rushed over to the place.

"Mother, what are you doing in the Palace?" Hexin stood up immediately with astonishment when she saw her mother.

"Aunt Xin." Yaoyao was surprised as well.

Yuan Xin had come over in a hurry. After she had regained her composure, she smiled and tugged on Yaoyao's hand to say, "I heard you're returning to Great Shang tomorrow. It pains me to see you leave, so I asked for His Majesty to let me into the Palace to chat with all of you." Her gaze swept around the area as she spoke and she frowned when she did not spot Long Yin. She asked, "Where is Yin'er, by the way? Why don't I see him?"

"Big Brother is taking his bath. Have a seat first, Aunt Xin," Yaoyao said and quickly got Ling'er to serve tea.

Yuan Xin had gone to the Palace at Beitang You's request. She had entered the Palace only after the Palace banquet had ended.

"Alright," she answered naturally.

It was only after they had chatted for a while that Long Yin finally walked in from outside, looking damp.

He had changed out of his black, form-fitting clothes and was in a comfortably loose white robe. His dark hair fell over his back and it softened his usual sharp, intimidating aura. He looked more carefree and casual than usual.

Yuan Xin was taken aback when she saw the dashing young man walking in.

She always knew that he was a good-looking child, but she had never expected he could look so attractive when he was relaxed.

If she was ten years younger, she would have been mesmerized by this boy.

Yuan Xin could not help feeling that this child had inherited the good looks of both Lu Liangwei and Long Yang.

She was not the only one. Even Hexin and Yuan You looked at Long Yin in a daze when he came in. They thought to themselves at the same time, 'Crown Prince Long is really handsome!'

"Aunt Xin." Long Yin stepped inside and gave a light nod to Yuan Xin, who was seated.

Yuan Xin snapped out of it and nodded back at him with a smile. "Yin'er." She knew his temperament well. He was not easy to get close to and he was being cold not because he did not want to see her. It was just the way he was.

Long Yin swept his gaze around and noticed the two ladies staring at him in a daze, but this did not bother him.

He pulled up his robe slightly as he sat on a chair.

"Is there something you want to talk about, that you'd come to the Palace so late at night, Aunt Xin?" he asked politely.

Yuan Xin smiled. "It's not very important. It's just that I heard you will be leaving tomorrow, so I took a trip here to discuss something with you."

"What would that be?" Long Yin asked.

"Next month would be your mother's birthday. I initially wanted to celebrate the occasion with her personally, but I'm getting old and my body might not be able to take such a long journey. So, I'm planning to let Xinxin follow your party to Great Shang and wish your mother a happy birthday on my behalf." Yuan Xin voiced the excuse she had come up with earlier.

When they heard her words, Long Yin and Yaoyao had the same thought—Aunt Xin was only in her thirties. That was not very old. Also, she looked quite healthy, so how could her body not be fit for the journey?

Despite their doubts, both siblings did not reveal anything about it.

Hexin looked at her mother suspiciously as well.

She was quite surprised by her mother's sudden decision but she did not question her in public.

"Great Shang is a little too far from the Yan Kingdom. I would worry if Xinxin traveled there on her own. As all of you are on your way back, it would be great if you could bring Xinxin along with you. I had no idea that you were in a hurry to leave and planned to set out tomorrow. I'm not done preparing your mother's birthday present. I might need to trouble all of you to wait another two days. Would it be alright if you leave only after I've got everything prepared?" Yuan Xin tried to negotiate this as she looked at Long Yin and Yaoyao.
