“It appeared in the space when I was teasing Yue Xiyuan before,” Yan An secretly told Gu Yanan. “When the two of us do this, something will randomly appear in the space.” Yan An touched his thumbs together, hinting to Gu Yanan.

"What? You..." Yan An was afraid that the people outside would hear and damage her image, so she immediately covered Gu Yanan's mouth, "Keep your voice down!"

Gu Yanan nodded, and Yan An let go of her hand. "You said you flirted with Yue Xiyuan? Tsk tsk tsk~" Gu Yanan looked at Yan An meaningfully. "I didn't expect that you, a perpetual bachelor, would be so extraordinary when you make your move."

Gu Yanan raised an eyebrow. "Well done, little girl, you've learned a lot from me."

"...You're overthinking it. We don't even have that now." Yan An pointed to her small mouth.

"Huh? You didn't get any of that? Then what were you flirting with? Hurry up and pounce on him. Maybe you'll get some other modern things. I've been missing modern things for so long: computers, TVs, potato chips... Before, I could still fight wars, but now the Moon Kingdom is powerful, and the three kingdoms are afraid of it. We can't even fight anymore. But it's okay, because it's the common people who suffer in wars."

Gu Yanan poured herself another glass of wine. "Let me tell you, those two brothers are really cowards, so serious and so easily teased. I peeked at Yue Yufeng taking a shower before, and he got angry and didn't talk to me for several days. The thing is, we were both dating at that time. So petty. He's so handsome and no one can look at him. It's a pity that I only peeked at his upper body, but I have to say, his abs are really good."

Gu Yanan looked up and gestured to Yan An, "Your Yue Xiyuan is much more robust than Yue Yufeng, and might even have a better physique. Little An'an, you're so lucky...hehehe..." Gu Yanan had a lewd look on her face...

"Um...it's nice, I've touched it..." Yan An recalled that day, and the feel was indeed quite good.

"What?" Gu Yanan almost choked on Yan An's words. She had been going in and out of the palace with Yue Yufeng since she was a child, and she even secretly watched him take a bath that time. She didn't expect Yan An to be so much faster than her. She had only been back for a short time.

"Oh, don't make such a fuss. It's just that Yue Xiyuan went to the Southern Border before and was poisoned by a Gu. I went to remove the Gu for him, and then I was so tired that I fainted. I ended up sleeping on the same bed with him, and in my dream I was taking advantage of him, so my hand just unconsciously... you know."

"I understand, I understand, no, I'm so far behind you. I used to be a master of romance, but now... No, I must win over Yue Yufeng this year!"

"Sister Ya Nan, come home with me today. I haven't seen you in so long. I really want to sleep with you, okay?" Yan An said coquettishly, holding Gu Ya Nan's hand.

"Alright, alright, I'll go back with you today. Of course I have to meet An'an's family."

“Alright, it’s settled then. Let’s go see them.” The two of them had been talking for so long that they almost forgot about the three people outside. When they came out, they saw that the Emperor had already woken up, and the three of them were already dressed and soaking freshly picked Tianshan Snow Green tea.

When the Emperor saw Gu Yanan come out, he immediately stood up and took a few steps toward her, saying, "Long time no see!"

"haven't seen you for a long time!"

The two stood there, stunned. The Emperor looked at Yue Xiyuan: Why does she not seem happy to see me at all? Could she be seeing someone else?

Wol Seok-won: You said it's been so long, how am I supposed to respond? Besides, she rushed over overnight, how could she possibly have someone else outside? Don't worry about it, you're not the only one who's been abandoned!

How could Yue Xiyuan have the nerve to talk about Yue Yufeng like that? In all these days, what have you and Yan An done besides hugging and holding hands?

Gu Yanan looked at Yan An: Wouldn't it be embarrassing for me to go there now, considering I deserted six years ago...?

Yan An: ...

The four of them exchanged knowing glances, which puzzled Su Jingzhan greatly.

"An'an, Yanan, Fourth Prince, Jingzhan..." Upon hearing that Yan'an had gone to the morning court at Shou Kang Palace, the Empress Dowager hurriedly rushed to Chengqian Palace. Before even entering the palace gate, she began calling out to the others.

"Oh dear, Sister Ran, please slow down." Jiang Luo helped the Empress Dowager and hurried towards Chengqian Palace.

"Let's go out, my aunt and mother are here." Well, it seems she really can't bring herself to do it with so many people around. Let's talk about it another day. Yan An led the others out of the space in a flash.

"Ah! I just brewed some Tianshan Snow Green tea, and I haven't even had a chance to taste it yet." It's so frustrating not to get to drink the tea that's so close...

"I'll bring you a can next time, okay, senior brother?" Yan An raised his fist, as if to say something like that and he'd hit you.

Su Jingzhan nodded repeatedly. Who would make a fuss when there was tea to drink? "Mmm, mmm, mmm."

The Empress Dowager entered the inner chamber and, upon seeing the Emperor standing there, froze on the spot, dropping the handkerchief in her hand to the ground. "My son..." she cried, tears streaming down her face.

The Emperor knelt on the ground, saying, "It is your unfilial son who has caused the Empress Dowager worry."

The Empress Dowager helped the Emperor up with both hands. "Get up quickly. How can the ruler of a country kneel down so easily? It's good that my son is better. It's good that he's better."

Jiang Luo wiped away the tears from the Empress Dowager's eyes, "On such a joyous day, you mustn't cry."

"I am fortunate to be safe and sound this time, thanks to my fourth brother and sister-in-law for finding the snow lotus from Tianshan for me." The Emperor helped the Empress Dowager sit on the imperial tea bed, took the tea brought by Eunuch Wang, and handed it to the Empress Dowager.

"An'an, is there any..." Gold and silver jewelry could no longer compare to this. The Empress Dowager didn't know how to thank Yan An, and was interrupted by Yan An before she could ask.

“If Auntie considers An’an family, then stop talking about these trivial things. Auntie, you’ve lost a lot of weight these days, and so has Mother. Have you not been eating on time?” Yan’an pouted and said sternly, sounding somewhat like Jiang Luo when she was angry.

"Hehehe, I've eaten, I've eaten," the Empress Dowager said guiltily. "Sister Luo, don't you think so?"

“Yes, Sister Ran is right, we eat on time every meal,” Jiang Luo agreed.

“Princess An, please don’t listen to the Empress Dowager and Madam Yan. They’re lying to you again. They either eat very little or not at all. Yesterday, I asked the Imperial Kitchen to cook some porridge, but I only drank two sips and put it down. I haven’t eaten anything all day.” Rong Mama, who was standing to the side, also noticed that only Yan An could control these two, so she complained to them one after another.

"Hmm? Aunt, Mother, is what Rong Mama said true?" Yan An saw that the two of them were silent and knew that they must not have eaten properly, otherwise how could they have lost so much weight?

Although Yan An had a lot of blood drawn, fortunately she had the water from Tianshan Mountain, and her body was fine now. However, the people in front of her looked somewhat anxious and tired.

"I'm going to the Imperial Study to prepare some appetizing dishes to nourish you. You wait for me." Yan An planned to make some things they hadn't eaten before to whet their appetites, especially since the weather was getting a bit hot.
