Yunniang also tried to persuade them, but seeing that the two were determined, Aunt Xu realized that she couldn't argue with them both, so she had no choice but to give up in the end.
However, she secretly vowed to be more attentive and better to her two children in the future.
When Aunt Xu returned home, Yunniang personally saw her to the door. Seeing that Han Luoxue hadn't followed, she whispered a reminder: "Aunt Xu, you must never call him 'Chen boy' again. It's not appropriate!"
Aunt Xu was taken aback. They used to call each other that, so why did it suddenly seem inappropriate? But since that's what they said, she believed there must be a reason.
"So how should I call you from now on?"
Seeing that Aunt Xu hadn't pressed the issue, Yunniang was relieved. Sometimes, it's better not to be too serious; sometimes it's better to be a little oblivious.
"There's no need to shout anything deliberately; his identity is somewhat special."
Special? Aunt Xu frowned. She didn't know what kind of identity would qualify someone as special.
However, she knew that Yunniang wouldn't harm her, and she would definitely be more careful with her words in the future.
"What about Xueya?"
Since we can't address Chen boy directly anymore, shouldn't we also be careful about Xue girl's side?
"Xue'er is fine, so please do whatever you like."
The news that the new emperor is about to ascend the throne is being spread throughout the capital. People here know this too, but no one would have guessed that the person about to ascend the throne is the ugly man they used to think of, Han Yuchen.
Once Han Yuchen ascends the throne, her daughter will be...
The thought still makes Yunniang a little hesitant to believe it. After all, she was just a village girl back then. Thinking back to Han Luoxue's childhood, who could have imagined she would one day become an empress?
"Mrs. Han!"
Aunt Xu hadn't left yet when a carriage pulled up in front of them. A woman who looked to be in her forties or fifties stepped out. She was dressed elegantly, and it was clear at a glance that she was no ordinary person.
Following the old woman were four or five women under the age of twenty.
Yunniang was also startled and asked in confusion, "Who are you...?"
"Hello, Madam Han. We were sent by the Old Madam to take your measurements and have clothes made for you!"
Yunniang instantly understood their meaning and hurriedly said with a smile, "Yes, Xue'er is still inside. I'll take you there now!"
The old woman smiled kindly. Aunt Xu was secretly surprised to see guests and quickly took her leave.
Goodness, Han Mingyuan's family is getting more and more powerful. Look at the status of his family members! That old woman just now, she looks extraordinary, but from what she said, she's just a servant?
If even the servants have this kind of demeanor, I wonder who their master is.
Yunniang wanted to lead the person into the house, but the old woman did not follow. Instead, she returned to the carriage and asked, "Madam Han, may we drive the carriage in?"
Yunniang nodded hurriedly. She wanted to go over and open the gate, and the four maids had indeed come forward to help.
Yunniang was secretly suspicious. Judging from these people, they didn't seem to be from the old lady's side. When the old lady came that day, there wasn't such a grand procession.
When the carriage arrived in the courtyard, the old woman carefully jumped out of the curtain and helped the people inside out.
At this moment, Yunniang realized that the person who had come was actually an old woman.
The old lady looked quite old, but she was elegant, graceful, and had an extraordinary air about her.
When her gaze fell upon them, she didn't say a word, yet it sent a shiver down their spines, even giving them an urge to kneel down.
"And you are?"
Yunniang didn't react for a moment. Han Luoxue, who was inside the room, also heard the commotion and hurried out. Seeing the people in the courtyard, she was also stunned. She had never seen these people before; had they come to the wrong courtyard?
When Han Luoxue came out, the old lady also looked up at her.
Although she knew that Han Ruxue was just a village girl, she was still deeply shocked when she saw her appearance.
This Xue girl is so beautiful! It turns out her investigation wasn't entirely accurate. She's clearly one of the most beautiful women in the world. No wonder Ouyang Zhen fell for her at first sight!
So many noble ladies in the capital city, yet none of them could rival this village girl in beauty. Moreover, Han Luoxue doesn't look like a village girl at all; her demeanor is elegant and her behavior is proper. No one would doubt that she is a lady from a respectable family.
"I am Zhen'er's grandmother!"
Both Han Luoxue and Yunniang were shocked upon hearing this. They both knew Ouyang Zhen's true identity; if this old woman claimed to be Ouyang Zhen's grandmother, wouldn't she be the current Empress Dowager?
Good heavens, how is this possible? They've only been back for a day, and first the old lady of the General's Mansion came looking for them. In less than a day, the Empress Dowager actually came in person.
Han Luoxue didn't think she had that much influence; she figured the Empress Dowager was just here to see the child.
"Grandmother, let me help you inside!" Since she is Ouyang Zhen's grandmother, Han Luoxue's manners must not be neglected.
The Empress Dowager looked at the poised and generous Han Luoxue with a satisfied expression, and patted Han Luoxue's arm, saying, "Child, you've worked hard!"
A woman, starving, ran away to hide somewhere and secretly gave birth to her child. The hardship she endured is unimaginable, and the Empress Dowager felt quite sorry for this woman.
"Grandmother, Xue'er isn't tired!"
Han Luoxue helped the person inside, with Yunniang beside her, carefully accompanying her. She had never imagined that one day she would see the Empress Dowager so closely. It was something she had never dared to dream of before.
As soon as the two entered the inner room, Zhuangzhuang woke up. He opened his mouth but before he could even cry, he heard footsteps and immediately shut his little mouth. His two big, black, gem-like eyes rolled around, and when he saw Han Luoxue, his excited little hands started grabbing and grabbing.
Looking at the incredibly lively little guy, the Empress Dowager's heart melted completely. She placed a finger in the little boy's hand, and he gripped it tightly. The Empress Dowager laughed heartily, "Look at him! He's such a young child, yet his little hands are so strong!"
Granny Qin smiled broadly, for this was the Crown Prince's child, and the Empress Dowager had been eagerly anticipating his arrival for a long time.
However, she had always hoped for the former crown prince Ouyang Fu, but unfortunately, Ouyang Fu was disappointing and never had a child.
No one expected that Ouyang Zhen, who had always kept quiet, was actually so capable in secret.
"Oh..." At that moment, Mengmeng woke up as well. The Empress Dowager looked at Mengmeng, and her smile became even brighter:
"Oh my, this is Mengmeng! Look at those long eyelashes!"
"Your Majesty, the young master looks just like you, almost exactly the same!"
