His image was clearly shattered, but he insisted on talking about being a wise ruler. It really made her laugh to death.

"How dare you laugh? It's all because of you and your son." Long Xunyi glared at her.

An Tingyu chuckled again, and it took a while for her to put away her smile. "Okay, okay, I won't bother you anymore. Come on! Follow me out. You have something to say, right?"

Long Xunyi looked at her, pursed his lips slightly, and then said, "Call her mother! She has always treated you like a daughter, or even more than her own son. If you call her mother, she will definitely be happy."

Hearing this, An Tingyu's beautiful eyes darkened, and she replied calmly, "I know!"

Perhaps, the Queen Mother was just a familiar person to her, but she was different from the Queen Mother, because the Queen Mother's care for her was beyond that of ordinary people. She might not feel much when someone called her mother, but the Queen Mother might be different.

"Okay, let's go back! Put this on so you don't get cold!" Long Xunyi took off his own cloak and carefully put it on her, and said to Leng Li beside him: "Leng Li, take the princess back home."

"yes!"

An Tingyu lowered her head slightly, turned around and left with Xiao Yunxi. Long Xunyi did not return to the Golden Throne Hall until the figures of mother and son disappeared at the end. As he turned to leave, a slender figure walked out from the darkness. Her beautiful eyes were as cold as ice and snow, gloomy and resentful, "An Tingyu, I will never let you go!"

"Your Majesty, there is something I want to say but I don't know whether I should or not." At this time, Meng'er, the personal maid of Concubine Feng, said.

"Speak!" Concubine Feng said coldly.

"Your Majesty, why do you think the Emperor dotes on Miss An so much? Did he already know that Miss An is as beautiful as a fairy? Furthermore, the Emperor's attitude towards little Yunxi is so strange. The little prince is always in his presence, yet he has never been kind to him. However..."

"Shut up! Is this something a servant like you should discuss?" Concubine Feng shouted coldly, not letting Meng'er finish her words. But in her heart, Concubine Feng knew that what Meng'er was talking about was actually the relationship between Long Xunyi and An Tingyu.

In fact, how could she not understand what Meng'er said? Long Xunyi was indifferent to any woman, but he was gentle to An Tingyu. He would not only smile at An Tingyu, but also give his cloak to An Tingyu and put it on her. The same was true of his attitude towards Xiao Yunxi. Compared with his own son, it seemed as if Xiao Yunxi was Long Xunyi's. Whenever Concubine Feng thought of this, her heart felt as if there were thousands of needles pricking her, and she wished she could kill An Tingyu.

Meng'er knelt on the ground in fear. "I deserve to die! But, my lady, I am only worried about you! You saw the emperor's attitude just now. Is that the right expression for a minister, for a royal sister? And think about it! Miss An is now the nineteenth generation of the Nether Palace and has made remarkable achievements. So even if the child has nothing to do with the emperor, who can object as long as the emperor says so? The empress dowager dotes on Miss An, so naturally she won't object. And the civil and military officials, considering Miss An's status, will of course say nothing. If that really happens, will there be any place for you in this huge palace?"

Concubine Feng remained silent, her face expressionless, only her sharp eyes flashed with a cold light.

At Chengxiang Mansion, when An Tingyu returned, Old Master An and An Donglin were already waiting outside the door. They looked at her with smiles, as if they had already expected that she would come back to celebrate the New Year with them.

An Tingyu was stunned for a moment, then walked towards them with a smile...

That night, they gathered together, ate together, chatted together, stayed up together, and welcomed the new year together. It was not until late at night that Mr. An left.

"Father, there is something Tingyu wants to tell you."

"What's going on?"

"She was actually in Yuyan Country. We wanted to bring her back, but she ran away." An Tingyu did not elaborate, but just gave a general idea. On the one hand, she wanted to reassure An Donglin and let him know that An Rongxin was still alive. On the other hand, she did not want to make him sad. If An Donglin knew what An Rongxin had done, he would probably be in trouble again!

Hearing this, Antonlin's deep eyes sank slightly. Although An Tingyu did not explicitly say who she was referring to, he knew that she was referring to An Rongxin.

"Just let her go! There will be no place for her to stay if she comes back. How could the Empress Dowager and the Emperor let her go?" An Donglin sighed and stated the facts.

"But I really wronged you. Rong Xin obviously did so many unforgivable things to you, but because of your father's consideration, you had to let her go." An Donglin said guiltily again.

"Father, it was my own decision to let her go, so please don't say that." An Tingyu whispered lightly. An Rongxin only felt sorry for An Tianyu, not her, An Tingyu. If An Rongxin had offended her, she would certainly not be so easy to talk to. However, precisely because it was not her, and because of An Donglin, she let An Rongxin go. Otherwise, how could An Rongxin live in this world?

"Miss, Prince Jing is here!" At this time, a servant came to report.

An Donglin glanced at An Tingyu and said, "I am tired, so I will leave the New Year's Eve celebration to people of your age!"

"Father, take care!"

An Tingyu was waiting in the hall. Not long after, Jing Aotian came in. An Tingyu raised an eyebrow at him and said, "Why are you here now? I thought you wouldn't come until tomorrow! Is it okay to leave Qingwu home alone?"

Jing Aotian glanced at her, then moved to the side, and appeared in front of An Tingyu next to Jing Qingwu.

"Sister-in-law, Happy New Year!"

"Sister-in-law?" An Tingyu was stunned, wondering if Jing Qingwu had made a mistake. She remembered that not long ago, she was targeting her everywhere and going against her in everything, so why did she change so suddenly?

"Sister-in-law, I'm wishing you a happy New Year! Give me the red envelope!" Jing Qingwu spread her hands towards her.

An Tingyu raised her eyebrows lazily, then handed her a red envelope, but in her heart, she was thinking, this girl wouldn't call me that just for a red envelope, right?

Although she had doubts, An Tingyu did not ask them.

After receiving the red envelope, Jing Qingwu ran away like a crazy girl.

"Sister-in-law?" Jing Aotian winked at An Tingyu with a playful look on his face, "When will you really become Qingwu's sister-in-law?"

An Tingyu glared at him coquettishly, "She's making trouble, so you make trouble too."

"Of course I'm not joking. I'm serious. Will you marry me? Then we can be together forever." Jing Aotian hugged her gently.

"Does this count as a proposal? That's too insincere!" An Tingyu said with a smile.

"Sincerity? What do you require? As long as you say it, I will do it." Jing Aotian immediately promised, with a serious expression, he was almost swearing to An Tingyu.
