Fortunately, Wei Xuanning came to pay his respects and relieved her embarrassment. As soon as he came, Madam Wei looked him up and down, as if she was afraid that he had lost weight or something was wrong with him.

Wei Xuanning had gotten used to it over the years. He said to Madam Wei in a soothing tone, "Grandma, don't worry. Your grandson is back safe and sound, and he has also brought you a great-grandson. Have you seen him?"

"Yes, yes, he fell asleep, so he put it behind me to sleep." Mrs. Wei said hurriedly.

"He sleeps for a long time every day." Wei Xuanning complained imperceptibly.

The women were all laughing, so Chen said, "Children grow taller when they sleep more. It's also good for adults to sleep more now. Otherwise, they will cry all day long, and you will have to bear it."

Wei Xuanning seemed to be born with this ability, and could make the female relatives happy just by amusing them.

But it was obvious that the women were concerned about his life, so Chen said to him, "Qingzhou cuisine is not as good as that in Beijing. If you want to eat something, Auntie can ask the kitchen to prepare it for you."

"My aunt still loves me. I just want to eat something light. I can't eat anything with strong flavor." Wei Xuanning acted coquettishly to Chen again.

Chen agreed without hesitation.

Zhou Ziying was smiling faintly throughout the whole process, with the smile never reaching her eyes, as if she was watching a farce.

She even wondered why she had liked a man like Wei Xuanning in her previous life, who always hung around in the backyard and only knew how to coax the elderly. Now she was even telling him jokes that were not funny.

"When we were walking on the road, we saw an old man holding a handful of fried peas in his hand, and he insisted on feeding them to his wife. But his wife tried to shake her hands. Why didn't she eat? Haha, because his wife is a grinning old lady with only one front tooth."

Yurong laughed the happiest and even clapped her hands.

This made Old Madam Wei, who was just smiling perfunctorily, couldn't help but ask Yurong: "Is it so funny?"

Yurong still felt strange and couldn't stop laughing, "Yes, it's so funny, that's how the eldest master is, telling a joke out of the blue is especially funny."

Maybe he was blinded by a ghost. Even Mrs. Wei found it unbelievable.

…

The dinner was very rich, and it was rare for Yurong to enjoy such a feast. She couldn't help but eat an extra bowl of rice. She had been eating in moderation on the road, and the dishes were not tasty anyway. Now that she came across something delicious, she ate a little more.

Back at Wutong Garden, she held her stomach and couldn't help but drink half a bowl of digestive tea.

The baby Duzhi had been taken downstairs. She curled up on the couch, feeling so comfortable that she even stretched out her body. Anyway, she felt much more comfortable now that she was home.

Even though Zhou Ziying's eyes looked a little unfriendly, the other people in the Wei family were very nice to her.

In just one day, everyone in the Wei family who knew that Yurong had returned came to visit her, and Yurong also saw them off with courtesy. Everyone greeted and saw them off in a friendly manner, which made everyone like her.

When Du Zhi woke up, they held her in their arms. The women looked at the pretty Du Zhi and couldn't help but envy her: "Grandma, you are really good at giving birth. Your eyes are so big, like black grapes. Just looking at them makes people's hearts melt."

"I heard the same thing when I was little, but now that I'm older, my eyes aren't that big anymore."

Although she is married and has children, people still have a strange feeling when talking to her. They feel like she is a little girl. Just like now when she said this, everyone looked at her eyes, the standard almond-shaped eyes, like radishes, especially innocent and cute.

Yurong took a ball and played with it, which made the women of the Wei family feel pleasing to the eye.

After resting for a day or two, Yurong sent a letter back saying that she wanted to go back to see her parents.

When Zhu saw Bi Tao, she couldn't help but ask, "How does my grandson look like?"

"She looks exactly like our young lady. She is incredibly beautiful. And she is in good health. She has not been sick during the whole trip."

Zhu chanted Amitabha several times before she heaved a sigh of relief. "I knew that Yurong had always been lucky since she was young. I was worried about her health. How could I feel at ease leaving such a delicate girl in a barren land like Qingzhou? Fortunately, everything is fine now."

She said, "Since Yurong is coming back, and the Dragon Boat Festival is just a few days away, we should go to the palace to pay our respects to the Empress. Why don't I ask the master to tell the Empress to let Yurong go to the palace to pay her respects as well."

Anyway, the Empress likes Yurong very much. If Yurong goes there a few more times this time, the Empress will also pay attention to her.

"That's even better." Bitao was happy for her master.

Bi Tao quickly went back and told Yu Rong the news. Yu Rong knew what her mother was thinking. She was afraid that Wei Xuan Ning would be punished again, so she hoped that she could have a say in front of the empress and could also negotiate for Wei Xuan Ning.

Yurong nodded: "Well, I will go back that day."

After Wei Xuanning returned, Yurong told him, "My mother said that Duanyang is going to the palace to pay respects, and it's a good opportunity for me to go with her. When I married you, the queen gave me dowry. I haven't paid respects to the queen since I got married, so I can take this opportunity to pay respects."

"Okay." Wei Xuanning was a little disappointed.

But he also knew that Yurong was a daughter of the Yang family, and her parents had an extremely close relationship with the empress, so it was natural for him to want to take her with him.

Moreover, the Queen had shown great favor to their family.

Yurong then repeated the embarrassing words she said that day, "I made a mistake in front of my grandmother and aunt, and actually referred to you as Brother Xuanning. They all looked at me like that."

Wei Xuanning couldn't help laughing, "Just call me that, no one will say anything. I often call you Rongrong, but I called you that directly in front of your mother. We are so close. If I still call you eldest master or eldest grandmother like everyone else, it will be strange. I can't say it anyway."

"That's right." Yurong leaned into his arms, "I don't want to leave you for even a day."

Like a little warm bunny, Wei Xuanning couldn't help but say, "You, even if you feed me poison right now, I will eat it willingly."

Yurong couldn't help shaking her head: "Because you are my brother Xuan Ning."

People who are bathed in happiness are always different, and even their complexion is very good. She originally wanted to ask a hairdresser to come over, but she looked good after just a little dressing up, so Yurong asked Lirui to comb her hair.

"Let me do your bun for you."

"No, just wear a lily bun, keep it simple, and choose that light green skirt with silver embroidered butterflies. The green color is just right to get rid of the heat of the Dragon Boat Festival, and it looks refreshing."

Li Rui smiled and said, "Okay, I will make sure to dress you up the best."

After getting dressed, Yurong looked in the mirror. She couldn't help laughing, and ran out with her skirt lifted. Lirui chased after her and asked, "Where are you going? Don't let your hair get messed up."

"I'll go show it to Brother Xuan Ning." Yurong said, turning around.

Wei Xuanning, who was waiting outside, embraced Yurong who was running towards him and even fixed her bun for her, "Why are you so anxious? I'm just outside, I didn't run away."

Yurong smiled and said, "I know."

"Does it look good?" Yurong turned around in front of him.

Wei Xuanning said, "It looks good."

Yurong was very happy. When she saw Zhu on her way home, she looked at her strangely and asked, "Rongjie, are you so happy about something?"

She had never seen her daughter so happy before. She was always indifferent, reading, painting or doing anything else properly. She rarely showed her emotions. Sometimes she even took pride in the fact that no one could guess her emotions. But how could she be so happy now?

Yurong touched her face and said, "No, I just came back to see you."

"You never close your mouth, but you should smile more often, you look better when you smile." Zhu held her grandson tightly and refused to let go, which made Fan join in the teasing.

It was not until someone from the eldest house came to urge them that Yurong followed Zhu into the palace.

When Mrs. Xie saw Yurong's rosy face, which seemed even more beautiful than when she was in the palace, she couldn't help but think of the deceased Yurou, and she was filled with infinite emotion. After all, she was her niece whom she had raised for many years, and Mrs. Xie had just fallen ill, so how could she not miss her?

Zhu knew what she was thinking, but her daughter was not Yurou, and her daughter had also offered a helping hand. It was Yurou's own stubbornness and Xie's rejection to a certain extent that led to the loss of a life. Who could be blamed for this?

The way to the palace was so familiar that Yurong was a little dazed.

The former Princess Han is now the Queen Mother. She wears a bright yellow phoenix robe and sits on a high main seat, looking at everyone, as if she is looking down on all living beings like the Buddha.

"Everyone, get up," said the Queen.

Xie stood up first, and then everyone else stood up together.

The queen saw Yurong at a glance. Although she lowered her head slightly, she looked like a willow branch sprouting in the new spring among the other women of the Yang family. She was refreshing, especially the smile on her face, which was so beautiful that it was beyond words.

But she did not ask Yurong first, instead she chatted with Xie first. Xie was a stubborn and polite woman, who followed the rules of being a woman, and just said, "There is nothing to worry about at home, I just hope that you can serve His Majesty well."

The Third Old Lady was always eccentric, but since her granddaughter Yuwei was not pregnant, she did not dare to visit casually. She just followed Xie to pay her respects. Yulian, on the other hand, was much more lively. She must have often accompanied her mother and grandmother to the palace to pay respects these days, so the Empress was quite familiar with her.

Finally, he asked Zhu and Yurong, "Is this Yurong? Are you back from Qingzhou?"

Yurong said in a serious tone, "To answer the Empress, I have only been back for a few days. Today I come to pay my respects to the Empress. I wish the Empress a long life, good health and happiness."

After saying that, she knelt directly on the cold ground. She knelt down like that. Even Zhu felt the pain and could not help but look at her daughter.

The queen smiled bitterly. This girl knew exactly what she was doing...
