"Master Mu, you don't know how much the Queen Mother and the Princess have missed you during the years you were away. They asked you if you had returned almost every once in a while. Princess Xueyu even went to the Mu Mansion to look for you many times."

Eunuch Shou smiled and said, "Now that you are back, the Queen Mother and the Princess are very happy. They even eat more meals than usual."

After entering Yongshou Palace, he quickened his pace. He knew that the Queen Mother was anxious to see Mu Nanjin, so before entering the hall, he opened his voice and shouted, "Queen Mother, Lord Mu is here."

"She's here, girl Mu is here." The empress dowager, who was already restless, became even more restless when she heard that Mu Nanjin had arrived. She suddenly stood up and walked out of the hall with Princess Xueyu as quickly as possible.

According to etiquette, Mu Nanjin should have gone into the palace to meet the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother couldn't wait any longer, and she wasn't one to care about etiquette, so she came out to greet her herself. The moment she saw Mu Nanjin, she smiled widely: "Mu girl, you're finally back."

Mu Nanjin bowed to them and said, "Greetings to the Queen Mother and the Princess."

"Don't be so polite if there are no outsiders here."

The Queen Mother smiled and took Mu Nanjin's hand and walked into the hall together.

Princess Xueyu snorted awkwardly: "Mu Nanjin, you are willing to come back."

Mu Nanjin told the truth: "I came back because I missed you guys."

"You wanted us to come back earlier, but you made us wait so long that the baby was born."

"Child?" Mu Nanjin was puzzled.

Princess Xueyu said to the maid beside her: "Bring out the little prince."

"yes."

The maid went into the house and brought out a delicate little boy, about eighteen months old. When he saw Princess Xueyu, he called out in a baby voice, "Mother——"

"My little Yaoxing." Princess Xueyu's face radiated the glow of maternal love. She happily took the child and stuffed him into Mu Nanjin's arms: "Son, this is your godmother."

Mu Nanjin took the child, surprise flashing in his eyes: "Your son."

"Of course it's my son." Princess Xueyu said proudly, "Is he handsome?"

Mu Nanjin nodded: "Pretty, but not like you at all."

"You still like to speak your mind." Princess Xueyu glared at her unhappily, "He looks like his father. The two of them are just like they were carved from the same template. They look exactly the same, both in appearance and expression. What do you think? Are you envious?"

Mu Nanjin couldn't help but feel envious when she thought of the group of bastards in Gongbo's mansion.

[I have more sons than you do. If you are envious, you should envy me.]

[And I have daughters. Each of my daughters is as beautiful as a fairy. If you see them, you will be jealous.]

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Princess Xueyu asked again, "Are you envious or not?"

The Queen Mother couldn't help laughing: "Xueyu, you are already a mother, why are you still like a child?"

Princess Xueyu said frankly, "I'm not asking this because I'm jealous of her."

The Queen Mother was speechless: "You are a princess of noble status, you have a husband who loves you, and you have a beautiful child, what else are you not satisfied with?"

"Grandmother, I thought the man I married was handsome enough, but I never expected that her governor is even more handsome. The children she will give birth to in the future will definitely be prettier than mine. I am so angry."

Mu Nanjin: “…”

[My governor...]

The Queen Mother was amused and angry: "How can a little girl like you be so fond of comparison?"

"I'm just competing for fun." Princess Xueyu blinked at Mu Nanjin and said, "Mu Nanjin understands me, right?"

Mu Nanjin nodded.

Princess Xueyu asked her, "Mu Nanjin, you have been away for so many years. Do you have a child with the governor? Why did you take so long to come back when the governor came back?"

"Aren't you married? Shouldn't you have children if you're married?"

【this……】

[It's only been a few years since I left, but the rumors about me and the governor have become so outrageous? ]

The Queen Mother glanced at Mu Nanjin and interrupted the topic by serving the meal: "It's noon now, let's eat first, and we can talk about other things after dinner."

Eunuch Shou turned and walked out of the Taidian.

Not long after, a group of eunuchs came in carrying more than ten dishes.

The Queen Mother looked at Lei Dian Chui who was sitting next to Mu Nanjin and asked, "Girl Mu, I was busy chatting just now and didn't have time to ask you who the young man next to you is?"

Mu Nanjin said: "He is one of my elders."

Princess Xueyu said: "I thought he was your brother, but I didn't expect he is older than you."

"Let's all sit down and eat together."

When the banquet started, the Queen Mother offered Mu Nanjin a glass of wine, probably to thank him for saving her life. After the meal, she also gave him many things to take back.

Mu Nanjin received so many rewards that it would be difficult for her not to return the favor, and she had already prepared gifts for the Queen Mother and the others.

She pretended to reach into her waist, but in fact she took out a white pendant from her space ring and handed it to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, I also have a gift for you. The pendant in front of you contains spiritual energy. Wearing it all year round can prolong your life. In addition, it can also protect your safety."

"This ring must be very valuable, right?"

Although the rings and pendants are not exquisite, one can feel the extraordinary aura.

The Queen Mother hesitated to take it.

"Its value will only be realized if someone can use it. If no one can use it, it is just waste and useless."

After hearing what Mu Nanjin said, the Queen Mother accepted the ring and said, "Thank you, girl Mu."

Princess Xueyu was not as polite as the Queen Mother: "Mu Nanjin, where is mine? Do I have any?"

"Of course you are indispensable."

Mu Nanjin took out a pair of earrings and a jade bottle from his waist and gave them to Princess Xueyu: "These earrings are for you. They have the same function as the Queen Mother's rings. The jade bottle contains the Jade Beauty Pill."

"Jade Face Pill?" Princess Xueyu was very excited.

"Well, I know you gave the remaining Jade Face Pills to your father and mother, so I prepared two more Jade Face Pills for you. You and your husband can each have one in the future."

"Thank you, Mu Nanjin."

Princess Xueyu excitedly hugged Mu Nanjin's neck.

Mu Nanjin's eyes flashed with a smile: "I didn't know you already had a son, so I didn't prepare any gifts for your son. However, there is a talisman paper to keep the child safe."

She took out a large stack of talismans and gave them to Princess Xueyu: "Put one on your son each time. If it is burned, replace it with another one. But if the talisman is burned, it means your son is in great danger."

Princess Xueyu was very cautious about her son's affairs: "Okay, thank you."

Mu Nanjin stayed in Yongshou Palace for another half an hour before leaving.

The Queen Mother was sure that Mu Nanjin had left the palace, and said to Princess Xueyu: "Go to your father and ask for an idle official position, and say that it is for the purpose of listening to Mu Nanjin's voice."

Princess Xueyu: "Ah?"
