night.
Su Renzhong and Duanmu Junyu saw Su Xuening and Su Yun'an off.
As they watched the Xuanwu divine beast fly away, longing was evident in their eyes.
How come the children haven't even gone far yet, and they're already starting to miss them?
Su Renzhong pulled Duanmu Junyu into his arms and comforted her, "If you miss them, we can go see them anytime."
"Mm." Duanmu Junyu nodded silently.
That's true, but parting is always sad.
Thinking of Su Xuening's words, Su Renzhong hugged Duanmu Junyu and coaxed her gently, "When Xiaobao turns one year old, let's go to Dongchu together to celebrate Xiaobao's birthday, and then go back to the Yong'an Marquis's mansion together."
Duanmu Junyu raised an eyebrow: "It has now become the Yong'an Prince's Mansion. I went back to see it when I returned to Dongchu before."
Duanmu Junyu seemed to have mentioned this to Su Renzhong before, and Su Renzhong looked on with anticipation: "Then we should definitely go back and take a look!"
Eastern Chu.
It wasn't until dawn that the Xuanwu divine beast carried them to the Eastern Chu Imperial Palace.
In the capital city, many people, seeing the return of the Xuanwu divine beast, knew that their emperor and empress had returned, and they cheered with joy.
"The Xuanwu divine beast is back! Our Emperor and Empress are back!"
"Great! The Emperor and Empress are finally back!"
"It's been so long since I've seen them, I miss them so much!"
"The Emperor and Empress are like the pillars of our Eastern Chu. With them around, we people have nothing to fear!"
Not to mention the people of the capital were overjoyed at the return of Xuan Yuanzhan and Su Xuening, the officials were also delighted, and many rushed into the palace to see Xuan Yuanzhan.
Mu Lingchen, in particular, rushed to the palace as soon as he heard that Xuan Yuanzhan and Su Xuening had returned.
The Eastern Chu Imperial Palace.
Bai Fuya was overjoyed to see Xuan Yuanzhan and Su Xuening return.
As soon as they landed, she stepped forward and snatched Xiao Bao from Xuan Yuanzhan's hands: "Grandma's darling, quickly give Grandma a kiss, Grandma has missed our darling so much."
Bai Fuya held Xiaobao and kept kissing him, making Xiaobao giggle. It was clear that Xiaobao still remembered Bai Fuya.
To be honest, when they weren't around, Bai Fuya didn't think about Xuan Yuanzhan; she only thought about Su Xuening and Xiao Bao, especially Xiao Bao. She really missed him day and night, and was afraid he would get thinner.
So there's definitely some truth to the saying that grandparents and grandchildren have a special bond.
Seeing that Bai Fuya only had eyes for Xiaobao, Xuan Yuanzhan said helplessly, "You only have eyes for Xiaobao, can't you even see me and Ning'er?"
Bai Fuya ignored Xuan Yuanzhan, holding Xiaobao in one arm and pulling Su Xuening with the other, saying with concern, "Ning'er, you must be tired from the journey back. Come and sit with your mother. Your mother has specially prepared honey water for you."
Bai Fuya didn't know when they would return, but she always had honey water on hand, just waiting for Su Xuening to come back.
"I'm not tired." Su Xuening was also very happy to see Bai Fuya and followed her back to the palace.
Xuan Yuanzhan and Su Yun'an were left staring at each other.
Su Yun'an looked at Xuan Yuanzhan with sympathy.
Well, my brother-in-law's situation isn't much better than his, so wouldn't you say they're in the same boat?
When Mu Lingchen ran into the palace, he saw Xuan Yuanzhan and the others drinking honey water together in Bai Fuya Palace.
Upon seeing Xuan Yuanzhan, Mu Lingchen excitedly ran over and punched him on the shoulder: "You're finally back! I've been waiting for you for ages."
Finally, someone was paying attention to him, and Xuan Yuanzhan was quite happy: "What are you waiting for me for? Why don't you go find your wife when you have time? Have you found one yet!"
Although Xuanyuan Zhan hasn't been back for a long time, he still cares about Mu Lingchen finding a wife.
Speaking of this, Bai Fuya interjected, "Your Aunt Tang and I have found a girl for Chen'er, and we're just waiting for you to come back and bestow a marriage upon them."
Xuanyuan Zhan suddenly realized: "So that's why you were so eager to wait for me to come back. That's easy. Just give me the girl's name, and I'll bestow a marriage upon you both at court tomorrow."
Mu Lingchen blushed slightly at this moment: "I'm not in a hurry."
Seeing his expression, Xuan Yuanzhan understood immediately.
Although it was his mother and Aunt Tang who arranged the marriage, judging from Mu Lingchen's expression, he was clearly very willing.
Previously, Xuanyuan Zhan was worried about his marriage, but now it seems there's no need to worry.
Bai Fuya teased, "Why shouldn't you be in a hurry? Your mother is so anxious, she's waiting to hold her grandson."
Xuanyuan Zhan readily agreed, saying, "Then let's bestow the marriage upon him tomorrow and find the nearest wedding date."
Without further ado, Xuan Yuanzhan was busy with the wedding arrangements for Mu Lingchen that very day.
It turns out that Bai Fuya and Madam Tang arranged for Mu Lingchen to meet Tang Wanru, a girl from the Imperial Censor's Mansion. Tang Wanru was from the same clan as Madam Tang and they were related by marriage.
The Censor's family has a clean reputation, and Censor Tang is an upright and honest official. He only has one daughter, Tang Wanru, and both Censor Tang and his wife's hearts are devoted to this girl.
Having been examined by the Empress Dowager and Aunt Tang, it goes without saying that this girl's character and conduct are excellent.
Xuan Yuanzhan also looked at the girl's portrait. She was quite elegant and refined, and a good match for Mu Lingchen.
Most importantly, Mu Lingchen himself was willing, so Xuan Yuanzhan was naturally happy to make it happen.
That very day, the Imperial Astronomical Bureau was summoned, and they selected the nearest auspicious day, which would be three days later.
Mu Lingchen was dumbfounded: "Isn't three days a bit too rushed?"
Xuanyuan Zhan glared at him: "You're the one who needs to get married, aren't you in a hurry?"
This old bachelor is almost thirty, and I'm worried about him!
One sentence made Mu Lingchen blush.
Well, he was indeed in a bit of a hurry. Three days it is. Anyway, since the matchmaking was successful, his mother had prepared all the wedding items for him. Three days would be enough.
The next morning, during the court session, Xuanyuan Zhan bestowed a marriage upon Mu Lingchen.
When the imperial edict was delivered to the Mu and Tang families, both families were overjoyed.
The wedding date is a bit tight, but fortunately, both families were very satisfied with the couple they had met, so they made preparations early.
Although it was only three days, the two families didn't have to rush around too much.
Three days later, Mu Lingchen got married.
Not only did Xuan Yuanzhan and Su Xuening personally attend the wedding to Mu Lingchen, but Bai Fuya also made an appearance.
Bai Fuya and Tang Shi sat together in the high seats.
If we're talking about a high seat, Bai Fuya is certainly worthy of it.
Of course, it wasn't just because she was the Empress Dowager, but also because when Mu Wenhai was in trouble, it was Bai Fuya who came here to help the Mu family. If it weren't for Bai Fuya, the Mu family would have ceased to exist long ago.
Therefore, Mu Lingchen bowed to the elders willingly.
Of course, when he finally carried the bride back to the bridal chamber, his mouth was practically stretched to the back of his ears in a wide grin.
Seeing how anxious he was, Xuanyuan Zhan couldn't help but tease him again.
I told you this kid was getting impatient!
He only won the heart of his beloved at the age of 30, so it's no wonder he was in a hurry!
Fortunately, he managed to sell the kid without losing money on him, which was a stroke of luck!
