As the three masters were talking, Ah Xiu saw Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing coming from afar. Following behind them were several maids and guards, each carrying either food boxes or boxes of various wrapped snacks.
"Masters, His Royal Highness Prince Rui and Princess Rui are here."
The Empress Dowager asked with a smile, "Is there anything to eat?"
"Yes, there are many." A Xiu answered with a smile.
Eunuch Mo waved his hand quickly, and a group of palace maids and eunuchs followed him out to greet them.
Concubine Ling glanced outside and said, "Listen, that girl is Kexin. Think about it, which of the other princes' consorts would come to see us like this?"
She had no children in the palace, and her only hope was that Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing would ascend the throne of empress in the future.
In this way, her later years should be more comfortable than they are now.
The Empress Dowager was deeply touched and nodded repeatedly: "Speaking of the younger generation coming to the palace to visit me, it is only Shu Yun's two children."
After all, among the royal grandchildren, none of them have any blood relationship with her.
"Isn't it enough that Wen Yu and Fu Ning have come to see you?" Empress Dowager Yun said to the Empress Dowager with a smile.
The Empress Dowager was not angry, but smiled and said, "Isn't that all thanks to you? You are Wen Yu's grandmother, and I am a wild one."
This wild remark made Empress Dowager Yun and Concubine Ling burst into laughter.
Several maids nearby couldn't help laughing.
Empress Dowager Yun shook her head and laughed, "You are the legitimate grandmother, how could you be wild?"
"That's true." The Empress Dowager smoothed her silver hair. "By the way, look, is there a little bug flying around my head?"
As they grew older, their eyesight wasn't very good, so Empress Dowager Yun and Concubine Ling came closer to take a look.
The Queen Mother took the opportunity to peek at the cards in their hands.
The two of them reacted and quickly sat back in their original seats.
Empress Dowager Yun: "You are already over eighty years old, why are you playing tricks like this?"
Concubine Ling: "That's right."
At this moment, Eunuch Mo had already met Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing.
"Your Highness, Princess."
He led the group to pay their respects.
Yan Funing nodded, and told Caiyu and Caishi to go to the Queen's Palace to deliver the dishes. She said to Eunuch Mo, "The rest of these are all for Grandmother and the others."
"That's great." Eunuch Mo ordered his men to take all the things from Fu Xi and the others, and then raised his hand to invite them, "Your Highness, Princess, and the Queen Mother have been waiting for a long time."
Everyone went into the house.
At this moment, the Empress Dowager and the others no longer played mahjong.
The three of them greeted the young couple and asked them to sit down with a smile.
Yan Funing agreed and said to Ah Xiu, "Mammy, there are a few medicinal dishes that need to be warmed in the small kitchen."
Ah Xiu said she was leaving.
"My dear child, let me tell you, here is the oldest one who is craving for snacks." Empress Dowager Yun pulled Yan Funing to sit next to her and nodded towards the Empress Dowager.
"Being able to eat is a blessing." Yan Funing said with a smile, "Grandmother doesn't look old at all."
The Empress Dowager smiled as she listened and spoke frankly, "It's true that I'm greedy, but so are they. I wasn't greedy originally, but wasn't it them who made me that way? Besides, every time Shu Yun sends something, it's not tasty, and she claims she made it herself. Didn't anyone remind her that she's not cut out for cooking?"
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
Empress Dowager Yun held onto Yan Funing's hand tightly, fearing that the Empress Dowager and Concubine Ling would snatch her away. She turned to ask Fu Ciyi, who was sitting on the other side, "How did Wen Yu get free today?"
Although he often came to the palace, he never came to see the three of them as often as he did to see Fu Ning.
Fu Ciyi nodded: "I just happened to be free, and I just happened to be going to the palace to talk to my father about something."
As they were talking, a loud voice came from outside: "The Emperor has arrived, the Empress has arrived."
Not long after, Long Yi brought Qiao Wanyou in.
Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing quickly stood up and saluted.
Long Yi raised his hand to indicate that the formalities were excused, and he took Qiao Wanyou with him and called out, "Mother, Mother."
"Sit down, sit down," the Empress Dowager said with a smile, "Why are the Emperor and Empress here?"
"I heard that the young couple had come to the palace and were staying with the Queen Mother, so I came here with the Emperor." Qiao Wanyou followed Long Yi and slowly sat down.
Empress Dowager Yun looked at her son and said, "Wen Yu just said that he wanted to discuss something with you, the emperor, his father. Why don't you and your son go and do it, and we women can just have some snacks and chat?"
The delicious food is lined up in several rows. It’s not good to just look at it, you have to put it in your mouth.
Unexpectedly, Long Yi grabbed a handful of candied fruit, threw one into his mouth, found it delicious, and gave half to Qiao Wanyou.
Then he spoke: "Well, Wen Yu wants to talk to me, then go ahead."
The Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager Yun and Concubine Ling looked at each other.
Wow, I thought men didn’t like snacks, especially emperors, but I didn’t expect the man in front of me to be the same as them.
Why do you only distinguish between your own wife and forget about these "old ladies"?
Yan Funing noticed the expressions of several people.
She pursed her lips and smiled slightly, then stood up and personally filled a fruit plate with various snacks, then put out a two-pronged fork and brought it to the table.
Seeing that his father had no intention of going out to listen, Fu Ciyi took out the secret letter from his sleeve pocket and said, "Grandmothers can also listen."
He presented the secret letter to his father.
"Beiqi didn't expect that we had a response, so we won the first battle."
When Long Yi heard this, the remaining candied fruit in his hand instantly lost its fragrance. He put it on the table and took the secret letter to examine it carefully.
After a moment, he laughed out loud: "Okay!"
Qiao Wanyou finally realized, "So the battlefield Bei Mo and Ali went to was the battlefield with Bei Qi?"
"That's right, mother." Fu Ciyi nodded.
