Yan Nangui listened to her chatter all morning.

“You’re really making a scene. Go find your father. If he agrees, let him stay in the palace.”

The seventh princess then went to the Beichen Palace to find her father again.

"Father, Father, let my younger brother come to live in the palace... let my younger brother come to live in the palace..."

Shu Chengfeng sighed helplessly, "What's so good about him? He's Daya's second son, he doesn't seem like much. How did he end up being liked by my daughter?"

The father is already starting to feel unhappy.

"Father doesn't love me anymore, sob sob sob..."

...The father couldn't take it anymore: "Alright, alright, go back to your studies. Your father will issue the decree."

The seventh princess cheered and jumped up to kiss her father, the emperor. She was stopped and had to go back to her studies.

Since Shu Chengfeng had already promised his daughter, he still asked Yunji to go to the post station to deliver a message: "Since you're coming in, let those children come in and stay for a while."

“Then everyone will be happy, at least the Crown Princess of Mengzhu Kingdom will be happy. Our Sixth Prince has been worried sick lately,” Yun Ji said with a smile.

"That's no use. Can we expect the Sixth Prince to marry her?" Shu Chengfeng shook his head. "Give the order that Daya's son should not lead the Seventh Princess astray."

Daya's second son was accompanied by his elder brother and third brother when he entered the palace.

There was also the Crown Princess of Mengzhu Kingdom, and Wei Xiao's second son.

Wei Xiao has also returned to the capital. This second son is born out of wedlock, but he is very favored.

He came in with Daya's eldest son.

A line of children stood in the Beichen Hall. Shu Chengfeng thought for a moment and said, "Since we're going to live in the palace, the girls can stay in the Liaohua Pavilion, and the boys... can stay in the Yuanxing Tower."

The children expressed their gratitude, and everyone was very happy.

Being able to live in the palace, even for a period of time, would be very good.

Especially for someone from a small country, what an honor!

When I go back, I can say that I lived in the Dayan Imperial Palace.

Yan Nangui also instructed his people: "Take good care of her, don't be too restrictive, just keep the major rules in mind. Since the Crown Princess is living in Liaohua Pavilion, which is considered part of the inner palace, be careful when His Majesty goes there, and don't let any rumors spread."

It's not a pleasant thing to say. Although Shu Chengfeng would never have such thoughts, the child is already ten years old.

What if someone with malicious intent says something inappropriate?

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. It is true that Liaohua Pavilion is in the inner palace, but it is at the very end. His Majesty will only pass by there on his way to Ruining Palace. Just have people prepare in advance to avoid it. Besides, since His Majesty has arranged for her to stay there, if you want to go to Ruining Palace, you can take the other way, Qingning Pavilion is also fine," Jiangxiang said.

"Yes, it's good to be prepared," Yan Nangui said.

"What about Wei Xiao's son?" Yan Nangui had a deep impression of Wei Xiao.

After all, he was Shu Chengfeng's bodyguard, and had even gone out with her before.

"They say he's good-looking. He's born out of wedlock; his aunt passed away, so he's very favored. He's ten years old this year," Yuanhua said.

"Yes. Make sure the people at Yuanxing Tower take good care of them. The children from outside aren't used to the food, so try to cater to their tastes. But they'll only stay for a month or two, so don't let them get too thin. Tell Consort Jia that she can see her nephews whenever she wants, without any restraint."

"Yes, Your Majesty, please rest assured."

After class, the Seventh Princess pulled the Sixth Princess along and headed to Yuanxing Tower.

She ran in and bumped into someone, causing the Seventh Princess to fall to the ground.

The main problem is that the people inside also escaped... so the servants were caught off guard.

A chaotic scene ensued, but thankfully the Seventh Princess was unharmed, though her hair was askew. She angrily demanded, "Who are you?!"

The man hurriedly said, "This humble citizen, Wei Huan, has offended the princess. Please forgive me."

"Hmph!" The Seventh Princess put her hands on her hips: "You're bad!"

"Uh... I know I was wrong." Taking advantage of his height, even with his head down, Wei Huan could clearly see the girl's face. Wow, she's so beautiful!

"Are you laughing at me?" the Seventh Princess asked angrily.

"No, no, how could I, a commoner, dare to say that?" Wei Huan really wanted to laugh; this little girl was just too adorable!

He followed Wei Xiaochang to Menghaijiang, where had he ever seen such a lovely child?

The Seventh Princess snorted again before going to find Sodo.

Sodo has big eyes, so he looks very well-behaved, and Princess Seven likes him because he's so cute.

He kept calling him "little brother," making Sodo blush.

The envoy from Gan Gong Kingdom arrived last; the eldest prince from back then ultimately failed to ascend the throne because he was killed by his own brother for rebelling.

Whether it was a genuine rebellion or a public declaration after a failed attempt, he was dead nonetheless.

The current King Gangong is the seventh brother of the eldest prince from back then. These are his sons who have come.

Thinking back to that rough-looking man with a square face, Yan Nangui sighed. But then again, back then, Shu Chengfeng was still a prince whose position wasn't entirely secure.

Now, the brothers who fought for the throne back then are either dead or imprisoned, so aren't they all the same?

Therefore, Shu Chengfeng, not wanting to treat them poorly, also sent the eldest and third princes of the Gan Gong Kingdom to stay at Yuanxing Tower.

There should have been a second prince in the middle, but he died of illness.

Nowadays, everyone living in Yuanxing Tower is incredibly precious, and no one dares to treat them poorly.

The group of children got to know each other quickly within a few days.

After getting used to being around big-eyed cutie Sodo, he's become a foodie.

They can eat you out of house and home. They have an enormous appetite.

She's only a month younger than the Seventh Princess, but she can really eat!

Especially when it comes to meat, he can eat more than several children.

But they're children of the grasslands, so they probably started eating meat right after weaning, so they're not worried about indigestion.

This child does have some royal blood from the Dayan Dynasty, and he is indeed good-looking.

However, it gradually became apparent that the Seventh Princess was now arguing with Wei Huan every day. It was a one-sided argument.

Wei Huan always defered to the Seventh Princess.

The problem is, if they're going to argue, fine, but these two kids are always hanging out together...

Anyway, the palace has been really lively lately.

Soon it arrived at the Empress Dowager's birthday.

The weather was nice on September 11th.

Because this year is a big birthday celebration, arrangements were made well in advance to hold a banquet in the Taichen Hall.

It's perfectly normal for a state banquet to be held here.

On this day, all the envoys were dressed in their finest attire.

And everyone noticed that Consort Duanyi was sitting in the Empress's seat today.

Even if the court officials had ideas, they naturally couldn't bring them up at the state banquet.

Even the Empress Dowager couldn't bring it up.

Yan Lingyun returned to court today, while Yan Nanxu remained in the north.

Looking at Yan Nangui in that position, Yan Lingyun knew that she was truly not far from becoming Empress.

Everyone offered their birthday wishes to the Empress Dowager, who smiled.

For her, this scene was only ever seen when she was crowned empress.

At that time, she was only crowned empress in Fengxiang Palace and was not qualified to come to Taichen Palace.

The grand banquet was jointly organized by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites. Yan Nangui didn't offer any specific suggestions, but she did manage a lot of personnel changes within the palace.

Those of high rank were required to attend today, but of course, Consort Ke Hui, who was ill, did not come.
