A smile appeared on Yueyuqian's face.

She had finally reunited with her daughter and couldn't bear to hand her over to anyone else. If she found out that her daughter had already married, she would definitely not be able to accept this fact and would probably go crazy on the spot.

Thank goodness! Thank goodness my daughter isn't married yet!

"What did you say your name was?" Yue Yuqian stared at Jing Qingyun, her expression extremely complicated.

She only remembered that her son called him brother-in-law and her daughter called him Xiaoyunzi, but she had overlooked his name.

Jing Qingyun was extremely nervous, but his expression remained neither humble nor arrogant as he smiled and replied, "Replying to Aunt Yue, my name is Jing Qingyun."

"Jing Qingyun?" Yue Yuqian murmured. The name sounded so familiar; she felt like she had heard it somewhere before.

Yueyu Qian's eyes lit up, her gaze becoming intense. "I remember now, the famous general of the Northern Qi Kingdom is named Jing Qingyun. Could you be that young and promising general?"

Jing Qingyun nodded with a smile, "Yes, Aunt Yue, it is indeed me."

"Well done, young man, you're quite impressive." Yueyu Qian's eyes were full of admiration. "Hmm, to achieve so much at such a young age, it's no wonder my Weiwei likes you. You two are quite a good match."

Jing Qingyun: ...The surprise came like a tornado. (?ˉ??ˉ??)

He should be considered to have passed his mother-in-law's test!

Seeing that Jing Qingyun's ears were almost completely red, Yue Yuqian couldn't help but laugh. The more she looked at this son-in-law, the more satisfied she became.

"Weiwei, you have great taste!"

Sheng Lingwei proudly tilted her head back, "That's right, Mother, don't you even know whose daughter I am?"

Yue Yuqian smiled, her eyes crinkling, and took Sheng Lingwei's hand, offering her earnest advice.

"I won't pry into what you two have been through. As long as you like each other, I won't object to you being together, but..."

Sheng Lingwei and Jing Qingyun exchanged a glance, their hearts pounding with nervousness.

"But you are still young and cannot get married and have children yet. You have to wait until you are eighteen years old, when your body will be fully developed."

Sheng Lingwei breathed a sigh of relief; she had thought her mother was going to say something earth-shattering.

It turns out they didn't want her to get married too early.

Yueyu Qian sighed and continued, "Weiwei, this is for your health. If you don't want to, I won't object to you getting married so early."

Jing Qingyun was so nervous that her palms were sweating, and she wanted to shout: "I will obey my mother-in-law's orders!"

Sheng Lingwei was both amused and exasperated. "Mother, I will listen to you. Even if you hadn't reminded me, Xiaoyunzi and I had already discussed it. We will only get married when I turn eighteen."

"That's good, that's good!"

Yueyuqian was overjoyed and patted Sheng Lingwei's little hand affectionately.

"Weiwei, your mother is very pleased that you and Qingyun are both people with your own opinions and know how to keep your distance. But your mother still wants to remind you that before you get married, you must not do anything inappropriate. At most, you can hold hands, hug, and kiss. You must not cross the line in any other way."

Jing Qingyun and Sheng Lingwei: "..."

The two parties involved were so embarrassed that they wanted to bury their heads in the ground.

My mother-in-law is a woman who doesn't speak up easily, but when she does, she's amazing! They all have to admit defeat!

Rong Momo couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, "Your Majesty, after so many years, you are still the same as before, not at all like a stranger." She can say anything.

Yueyu Qianfa laughed, "Suhua, don't think I don't know you're teasing me. To be honest, your outspoken nature is quite to my liking now."

She likes to make friends with people who are straightforward, honest, have sound values, and can take a joke.

Of course, the prerequisite is that they have to be good-looking.

There's no way around it, she's a sucker for good looks, she just loves looking at pretty people, it makes her want to eat!

Rong Momo chuckled and beckoned to Bai Ji and the other three, "Come over here and pay your respects to Her Majesty."

"Yes, Granny!"

Baiji, Baizhu, Chuanwu, and Chuanqiong were overjoyed. With blushing faces, they quickly knelt down in front of Yueyuqian to pay their respects.

"No, no, no, you don't need to kneel, get up quickly."

Yueyuqian hurriedly stepped forward to help the four of them up, her eyes filled with smiles. She patted each of their shoulders and said, "You've all worked hard these past years."

"Your Majesty, it's not hard work at all, we're not tired at all." Bai Ji and the other three shook their heads repeatedly, their eyes filled with tears.

It would be strange if it wasn't tough!

Yueyu Qian's eyes were filled with gratitude. She knew very well that her daughter had been able to live safely in the Northern Qi palace all these years thanks to Rong Momo and the others.

Thinking of this, Yue Yuqian looked at the five people, her tone extremely serious.

"Suhua, Bletilla striata, Atractylodes macrocephala, Aconitum carmichaelii, Ligusticum chuanxiong, thank you for your contributions over the years. I am deeply grateful. If you have any needs or conditions, please let me know and I will fulfill them for you."

The five women, including Rong Momo, felt flattered and immediately shook their heads.

"Your Majesty, please don't say such things again. We are willing to give and would never dare to ask for anything in return. Besides, if it weren't for you back then, we would have died hundreds of times over."

Yueyuqian shook her head, her expression serious.

"One thing at a time. I am deeply grateful for your protection of Weiwei. As her mother, I only want to repay you properly."

Knowing their own low status, Bai Ji and the other three all looked at Rong Momo, hoping she would speak on their behalf.

Rong Momo: (￢_￢) She doesn't want to be a mouth double.

Her mistress is good in every way, except for one thing: once she's made up her mind, nothing can change it.

Rong Momo spread her hands, her tone full of helplessness, "Your Majesty, you want to repay us, but we don't have anything we want!"

The princess has never mistreated us. Whether it's food, clothing, shelter, or training our supernatural abilities, we always receive top-notch amenities and lack absolutely nothing.

They lack nothing in terms of spirit, material possessions, or knowledge.

To put it bluntly, even if they made their requests, the Empress might not be able to fulfill them.

Of course, she wouldn't dare say that out loud.

This is difficult. Yue Yuqian pursed her lips, her eyes filled with a hint of helplessness as she looked at her precious daughter.

Sheng Lingwei's eyes flickered.

At that moment, she suddenly felt taller and bigger, and hugged Yueyuqian with a grin.

“Mother, what Rong Mama and the others said is right. I have everything here, and they don’t lack anything at all. In addition, I am extremely protective of my own people and would never let my people suffer any grievances.”

So you don't need to dwell on the matter of repaying her. Your daughter is taking care of everything; she has her own opinions.

Yueyuqian nodded obediently, "Alright then! My darling daughter, Mother will listen to you."

Sigh, as her daughter grows up, she, as a mother, becomes increasingly useless.

As for her son, well, he'll be raised by his father, there's no need to interfere too much. She still prefers her sweet and soft daughter.

Nangong Zichen: (╥╯﹏╰╥)?

Is this what they mean by "a daughter is a treasure, a son is just a weed"?

Waaah, I feel so bad, I want to cry t﹏t!
