Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart



"That's right. Today is the annual Temple Festival, which is a huge celebration. The crowd was equally large last year. People were lining up to leave the city before the sun was even up," Yuan Xin explained. She added, "Yaoyao, please bear with this and wait with us here."

"Don't feel bad about this, Aunt Xin. I'm fine with that. There's nothing wrong with waiting," Yaoyao said, not minding the situation at all.

Yuan Xin rubbed her head. "You silly girl. What an understanding person you are."

"The one who is understanding is you, Aunt Xin," Yaoyao blinked and said.

Yuan Xin was surprised and asked with a smile, "Why would you say that?"

"You're the Princess Consort Rui, Aunt Xin. You have a special privilege. If you wanted to get ahead of the line, they would open the way for you, but you didn't choose to do that. Isn't that being an understanding person?" Yaoyao said.

Yuan Xin sighed. "It's because there are too many people here and we're not the only noble family in the capital city. If we used our special privileges, others would follow suit."

"Aunt Xin is really considerate of the common people," Yaoyao said admiringly.

She had noticed that there were many horse-drawn carriages belonging to nobles and officials behind the Prince Rui Mansion carriage. They were all waiting quietly probably because they were not brave enough to pass a carriage belonging to Prince Rui Mansion.

If Prince Rui Mansion's carriage had used their special privilege and left the city first, these nobles would probably follow their example and it would be unfair to the commoners who were waiting patiently to leave the city.

If they had to give way to every noble, the commoners lined up at the front could only silently accept this and allow the nobles to pass.

Aunt Xin understood this, which was why she would rather wait than use her special privilege. She did not want to be the one to encourage this habit and cause such unfairness to the people.

From this, one could tell that Aunt Xin had the people's welfare at heart.

Yuan Xin smiled and said, "It's just a short wait. Besides, we can sit comfortably in the carriage."

It was at that moment that Hexin, who was sitting next to the window on the other side, turned to her and said, "Mother, Youyou is coming over."

Not long after, Yuan You's voice was heard calling out from outside the carriage, "Aunt Yuan Xin."

Yuan Xin quickly pulled up the blinds. "You're here, Youyou. Get in."

Yuan You boarded the carriage with the help of the servants.

When she entered the carriage, Yuan You was pleasantly surprised to see Yaoyao sitting next to the window. "Big Sis Yaoyao, what are you doing here?"

"I heard that the Temple Festival in the Yan Kingdom is a really big celebration, and I wanted to see it for myself, so here I am." Yaoyao smiled and held Yuan You's hand. "Come on and sit down."

As she watched three young ladies who were similar in age chat happily with each other, Yuan Xin felt as if she had also become a teenager.

Sigh, how nice it was to be young!

As the girls chatted away in the carriage and told interesting stories of what happened in the previous Temple Festivals, the bustling noise continued outside the carriage as the commoners lined up orderly and waited their turn to leave the city.

Hidden among the crowd were two common-looking young men. They may look ordinary, but they were anything but. The man standing at the front had eyes that flashed bright with a cunning glint, which instantly warned others not to cross him.

At that moment, they looked like two of the many commoners waiting in line to leave the city and did not stand out at all.

The man standing at the front suddenly turned around.

His gaze fell upon the Prince Rui Mansion's carriage not far away and he suddenly paused.

At that exact moment, the corner of the carriage blind was lifted. The girl sitting next to the window had an exquisite face and the man's keen eyes noticed her.

"Bada, I think I just saw a familiar face," the man mumbled after a while.
