Hurriedly running to the backyard, Zhu Yunwen nodded to Chang Mao, then strode into Chang Lanshi's bedroom, "Grandmother, your grandson has come to see you!"

Chang Lan, lying on the couch, opened her eyes with difficulty, looking somewhat happy. "His Majesty is here?! Help me up."

"Grandmother, it's the youngest grandson, not the eldest grandson!" Although Zhu Yunwen was quite happy, she still deliberately complained, "Grandmother has always been like this! Your eldest grandson doesn't come very often; it's always the youngest grandson who is the most filial!"

Chang Lan recognized the person who had arrived and smiled slightly. "It's Yun Tong? Are you hungry?"

Zhu Yunwen felt a pang of sadness. After he established his own residence, it was actually Chang Lan who had always managed it. While he was out there fooling around, indulging in eating, drinking, and having fun, it was Chang Lan who had been watching over him.

Every time he visited the Prince of Kaiping's Mansion, his maternal grandmother would worry that he was hungry or thirsty, and would constantly bring him the best food and drink. She was always afraid he would be bullied outside, and would repeatedly give instructions to his three uncles...

"Grandson isn't hungry." Sitting on the couch, Zhu Yunwen suppressed his heartache and carefully picked up Chang Lanshi, letting her lean against his chest. "Grandmother, grandson has come all the way from Yingtian Prefecture. Grandmother, you really shouldn't have kept such an important matter a secret. I've suffered a lot on the way here."

Chang Lan forced a smile, her slightly cloudy glasses looking at Zhu Yunwen, "My daughter is here. Why haven't you come to see your mother for so long?"

This made many people uneasy, and the three Chang brothers rushed to the bedside. Their wives and concubines also reacted immediately; those who were qualified knelt inside the room, while those who were not knelt at the door.

Their children were also summoned. Those who disobeyed were given a few slaps, and of course, these children probably knew what was going on, so they all knelt obediently.

Chang Lanshi, who had been in a coma for a long time, woke up and saw Zhu Yunwen with red eyes. "Yunwen, what brings you here?"

"My grandson has been here for several hours." Zhu Yunwen suddenly perked up and said to Chang Lanshi, "Grandmother, I haven't eaten your cooking for so long, I've gotten so thin from hunger."

“Sang is unworthy; she has made our grandson so thin from hunger.” Chang Lanshi raised her hand slightly, touching Zhu Yunwen’s face with heartache. “Our grandson is so thin he’s become unrecognizable.”

Zhu Yunwen nodded excitedly, “Grandmother, my brother has become emperor and has a crown prince, so he doesn’t care about me anymore. My eldest sister is in Yunnan, and she just writes letters to ask about me. My second sister is the same; she has children and doesn’t care about me much anymore. Grandmother, only you care about me and love me.”

“Our little grandson is loved by someone.” Touching Zhu Yunwen’s face, Chang Lan smiled. “Your brother is good. He is the emperor. You have to be considerate of him.”

Zhu Yunwen pretended to be unhappy and said, "Grandmother is just biased. It's always been our elder brother who is better in every way!"

Although Chang Lan was somewhat weak, she still advised, "Yun Teng, you must listen to your elder brother from now on. He cares about you."

Zhu Yuntong, who couldn't help but start to shed tears, nodded, but still said, "Grandmother, your grandson still wants you to take care of him, and still wants the food you make."

"We can't do it anymore." Changlan smiled as she caught her breath, looking at Zhu Yunwen with a hint of longing. "If we see your mother, we'll tell her that her eldest son has become the emperor. Her youngest son is also a prince, living a life of wealth and good health."

“My brother is the emperor, wise and intelligent.” Zhu Yunwen nodded, but still said, “My brother asked me to pass on a message that if my maternal grandmother sees my mother, she should tell her. My brother said that since my father passed away, my mother has not visited him much, and he is unhappy about that.”

Chang Lan smiled and agreed, "Okay, we'll definitely talk to her about it."

Looking at Chang Mao with difficulty, Chang Lanshi said, "You must listen to me and not let your nephew worry."

"Old Chang has been waiting for us for a long time, we miss him."

"Daughter, why don't you come to see me?"

"Our grandson is the emperor."

"Xiaoyu, you mustn't be so arrogant..."

With her eyes closed, Chang Lan seemed to be muttering to herself, expressing some of her innermost thoughts and worries.

Suddenly, a commotion arose, growing clearer and clearer. Even in the backyard of the Prince's mansion, it was the cheers and clamor that had spread throughout the city.

Before Chang Mao could ask any further questions, the servants rushed to the backyard, knelt outside Chang Lan's door, and shouted, "The Great General has achieved a great victory in the northern desert! Thirty thousand were killed in battle! Fifty thousand were captured! The enemy's royal tent and wolf banner were presented! The enemy's Grand Commandant and several commanders of ten thousand were presented! The enemy chieftain Yesu has already escaped!"

Chang Lan suddenly opened her eyes, quite pleased, "Our Xiaoyu has won again!"
