Fu Ciyi called out, "Mother."
Qiao Wanyou smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry, not at all."
Long Yi understood what his wife meant and smiled to smooth things over: "We will have a family dinner at noon and a palace banquet in the evening."
It was soon lunchtime, and the Cheng Palace, the Shi family, and the Yan family were all invited.
Before lunch started, Shi Yangyang told the Yan brothers that she had seen Yan Yan'er on the street.
Yan Funing also said: "Yes, we saw it together."
"Sister Yingying and Pang Anmeng were there at the time, but Yan Yan'er didn't seem to recognize us." Shi Yangyang added.
Yan Xinghe and Fu Ciyi looked at each other.
"What's wrong?" Yan Funing asked puzzledly.
Fu Ciyi explained, "Actually, I had already sent people to investigate her, and we discovered that she had lost her memory. By then, the Cai family had already been dealt with."
When he mentioned the Cai family, Yan Funing heard the hidden meaning and wanted to tell her that it was Cai Mushi who killed her in her previous life, not Yan Yan'er, so she did not do anything against Yan Yan'er.
But Yan Xinghe also spoke up: "I'm investigating too. Your Highness's people found out first and gave me the information. I was the one who asked Your Highness to let her go."
"I see." Yan Funing smiled.
"I hope my sister won't be angry?" Yan Xinghe was a little uneasy.
Yan Funing smiled and shook her head: "No, it's all in the past."
After all, Yan Yan'er has lived in the Yan family for so many years with her identity. As the brother who once loved his sister the most, it is understandable that he feels sympathy for her.
Furthermore, Yan Yan'er lost her memory.
At this time, the loud voice of Cheng Wang Long Ye was heard: "I really didn't expect that my kid could do something so fancy while carving wood."
He was unique in being a prince with real power, and like the Southwestern Prince's Palace, he received many rewards.
What is even more gratifying is that the youngest son, Long Xu, was appointed as the imperial weapon forger. If he needs assistance from the six ministries, this kid can enter and leave the six ministries freely.
When his eldest son inherits the title, he won't have to worry about his youngest son having no future.
"That's because my nephew is smart." Long Yi was very happy.
Ultimately, it is the daughter-in-law who is smart, but the fact that she was able to raise a child like Long Xu also shows that Long Xu is capable.
They came with the Empress Dowager and the others.
Everyone took their seats.
Lunch will begin soon.
At the banquet, the Empress Dowager heard that Long Chi'an had been promoted from Prince of Chi to Prince of Chi, and she praised him sincerely: "The Emperor is benevolent."
The honor was increased, and the entire Shi family was filled with gratitude.
Long Shuyun said, "Thanks to the Crown Princess, Chi An's cough has completely healed."
My son is in very good health. I believe it won’t be long before he finds a princess to give her a grandchild.
Long Yi's smile widened when he heard this: "Now the rivers and seas are peaceful and tranquil. Come, let's raise our glasses."
But then an untimely voice came from outside the palace. It was Concubine Ling's voice: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask for a mercy. Please let Li Hui out!"
Their good mood was immediately disturbed, and Long Yi said in a deep voice: "Li Hui and his wife, if you are obedient, you will be released; if you are not obedient, you will remain locked up."
"Empress Shufei, please go back."
Eunuch Han quickly asked the person to leave.
The atmosphere in the hall was restored.
Long Yi raised his glass: "Come on!"
Everyone also raised their glasses.
--
Time flies so fast, and it’s the end of the year in the blink of an eye.
On New Year's Eve, a palace banquet was held in the imperial palace.
Delicacies, fine wines, music, singing and dancing, and constant laughter.
Many people rushed to toast the prince and his wife.
Whenever someone toasted him, Fu Ciyi would drink it. When someone toasted Yan Funing, he would help drink it on their behalf.
Suddenly, the palace maids came in one after another, and the trays on them were all filled with fish.
When she smelled the fishy smell, Yan Funing suddenly felt nauseous and couldn't help dry-heaving.
Someone had just toasted her, and Fu Ciyi was drinking on her behalf. At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the couple.
Seeing this, Qiao Wanyou was delighted, but she was also worried that her daughter-in-law was unwell, so she hurriedly asked, "Where is it that's bothering you?"
Fu Ciyi quickly stroked his wife's back and brought her a glass of fruit drink.
Yan Funing drank it and finally felt better: "Mother, I am fine."
After hearing this, Qiao Wanyou confirmed it.
My daughter-in-law is very capable and naturally knows her situation. If she doesn't tell me now, it must be less than three months.
She thought so, and Hong Qingyi thought so too.
So after the palace banquet, the two mothers held Yan Funing on the left and right.
"Yes?" they said in unison.
Yan Funing blushed slightly: "It's only been a month, I just found out about it."
"Okay, okay!" Qiao Wanyou happily hugged Hong Qingyi, "We're going to be grandmothers!"
Hong Qingyi smiled: "Your Majesty, please be more reserved."
Fu Ciyi, who was talking to someone nearby, hurried over upon hearing this and stared into Yan Funing's eyes.
As if asking, is it true?
In just a moment, Yan Funing's earlobes turned red and she nodded.
Fu Ciyi picked her up and spun her around.
"Oh, put it down, put it down."
Qiao Wanyou hit her son hard on the back.
Hong Qingyi couldn't help but complain: "You two are the same, hugging people whenever you feel happy."
--
The following year, second half of the year.
The fetus in Yan Funing's belly is full-term.
As his wife was about to give birth, Fu Ciyi became more and more nervous. Firstly, he was worried about his wife, and secondly, he was afraid that his wish of having a daughter would not be fulfilled.
On the day of delivery, Fu Ciyi was extremely nervous.
The female members of the family, led by the Empress and the Duke's wife, were all waiting for news in the East Palace's bedrooms.
Outside the house, Fu Ciyi paced back and forth.
The men accompanied him.
Yuan Yi, Yan Honghou and Jin Lingcen, who had already arrived, tried to persuade him but it was useless, so they handed the task to Long Chi'an, Yan Xinghe, Yan Bojian and others.
