"Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness!"

Tang's mother bowed in the direction of the Prince's Mansion, and then, with the help of Aunt Ren and Lin Zao, got into the carriage.

When we arrived at the Prince's Mansion, many ladies and young women were gathered outside the gate and entering. There were also dozens of carriages parked on the open ground on both sides of the gate.

When Lin Zao and his group got off the carriage, the ladies and young women at the door paused and looked at them.

They were all secretly wondering who had arrived. Judging from the style of the carriage, it was the princess's personal carriage. They wondered who the person was and what their attire was.

The gifts were placed in the carriage and then taken inside by the driver.

Lin Zao didn't care what those ladies were thinking behind her back. She walked calmly and straight ahead, leading Tang's mother and the others into the palace.

Leaving the ladies and young women staring at each other in bewilderment, he quickly followed Lin Zao inside.

When the group arrived at the reception hall, the princess was entertaining a highly respected elderly lady with a full head of silver hair.

Seeing that Lin Zao and the others had finally arrived, he stood up and greeted them with a happy expression.

"Come on! We've been waiting for you! Let Tiger Head and Ya Ya go play with Xiao Bao first."

As she spoke, she instructed her maid to take the twins to find Xiao Bao.

Princess Cheng took the help of Aunt Ren to support Tang's mother, then turned to look at the ladies following behind Lin Zao and the others.

"Madam Huang, Madam Wang, Madam Zhang, please have a seat and make yourselves at home."

The ladies quickly and warmly responded, "Your Highness, you are busy, there's no need to specially invite us!"

Princess Cheng nodded and, together with Lin Zao, helped Tang's mother to the seat of honor.

"This...this is improper, Your Highness. We can sit wherever we like in the lower seat!"

Tang's mother was somewhat flattered and wanted to refuse.

"Of course it makes sense! Aunt Tang, don't forget that your son Tang Jian is now a third-rank general! If you don't deserve it, who will!"

Princess Cheng raised her voice, glanced at the people around her, and pointed out Lin Zao and the others' identities to prevent any ignorant fools from causing trouble.

People around looked over with curiosity when they heard Tang Jian's name, as everyone present knew that Tang Jian was General Tang.

Two years ago, during the great battle, he single-handedly turned the tide and defended the border of Ganzhou. At that time, he also saved the life of King Cheng, seriously injured the enemy general, and forced them to retreat hundreds of miles from Ganzhou. Only then did they send people to sue for peace, which brought us the peace we have now.

Tang Jian became famous overnight and became a great hero of the entire Ganzhou Prefecture. He was awarded the title of General of Anbei, a third-rank official.

Lin Zao felt the gazes coming from all directions, but she remained unfazed and let them scrutinize her.

Suddenly, Lin Zao felt a sharp gaze and quickly looked in that direction.

A beautiful young woman stared at her, slightly surprised, before giving her an elegant nod and a smile.

Lin Zao expressionlessly shifted her gaze away from her.

When the young woman saw Lin Zao ignoring her like this, she almost lost her elegant expression.

Seeing this, one of her friends quickly asked:

"Yuechan, what's wrong?"

"I'm fine, I'm just feeling a little unwell."

Yang Yuechan lowered her eyes, concealing her emotions, and answered her friend softly.

Princess Cheng led Tang's mother and Lin Zao to the old lady at the head of the table.

"Old Madam Yang, these are the family members of General Tang that I mentioned to you before, General Tang's mother and his wife. My Yu'er was saved by Madam Tang! Their whole family are benefactors to me and the Prince!"

Old Madam Yang nodded with a smile to Tang's mother and Lin Zao.

"Madam Tang is so lucky; her daughter-in-law seems to be a good one as well."
