"Mother, Mother, I saw my maternal grandfather and uncle! They are so amazing!" Yun Qingluo said excitedly as she turned to walk back, holding Qian Yue and Ze Yan's hands.
The little girl kept turning her head, wanting to see her maternal grandfather and two uncles one more time, but unfortunately she wasn't tall enough and could only see a sea of people.
Xiao Qianyue couldn't help but feel a little dejected, her little face drooping, looking just like an abandoned kitten.
Yun Qingluo was in a good mood when she saw her family return safely. She looked down at Qian Yue, who was wriggling her little body, and said softly, "Be good, when we get back to the palace, you can take your time to look around. Your grandmother will be there too. Be a good girl and follow your brother."
After Yun Qingluo finished speaking, she glanced at Ze Yan, who was walking on his own to the other side. She originally wanted to hold one of their hands, but the little guy broke free the moment she held his hand, refusing to let her hold his hand anymore.
They said he was grown up and should walk on his own, and as the crown prince of a country, he should walk with dignity.
Yun Qingluo sighed with emotion and said nothing more.
Having been taken to court by Mo Beichen for a while and having reviewed some memorials, I noticed that this guy is becoming increasingly aloof and has lost the cuteness and clinginess he had before his enlightenment.
She's acting like a little adult now, it's heartbreaking.
Mo Beichen had mentioned to her more than once that the child was a bit too precocious.
Back in the palace, once everyone had arrived, the banquet began.
The first grand feast after unifying the Sumeru Continent has begun.
News came from outside the palace that banquets had already been set up among the common people.
The people were all very happy.
Mo Beichen raised his glass, inviting everyone present to join in the celebration.
After a few rounds of drinks, everyone noticed a faint smile on the Emperor's lips, and under the influence of alcohol, they gradually relaxed.
They were exchanging celebratory words with those around them and drinking fine wines from the palace.
"I must say, the wine in the palace tastes just different from the rough wine outside."
"This wine is a bit too smooth; I still miss the strong liquor from the battlefield."
"You big brute, you're complaining about such good wine? Really, you'll only get to drink this once in your life."
"Hmph, it's just not as good as the wine I drank with my brothers on the battlefield. It's no shame they can't have it anyway. What's so great about it? It's nothing special..."
As she spoke, her voice choked up, and her eyes reddened.
Upon hearing this, the people around fell silent, unusually quiet, and stopped making noise as before.
Yes, it doesn't taste good; it's too bitter.
Mo Beichen noticed the quietness of the scene, glanced around, and saw everyone's red eyes, vaguely understanding what was going on.
He raised a glass of wine, stood up, and said, "This glass of wine is to the martyrs who shed their blood on the battlefield, to thank them for guarding our territory and protecting our country."
Upon hearing their king's words, everyone quickly stood up, picked up their cups, and raised them.
Zeyan, who was standing to the side, saw this scene and silently made a mental note of it. As for what he had noted down, only he himself probably knew.
Yun Qingluo had just finished drinking the wine in her glass when she saw the little guy looking thoughtful, and she sighed.
After the banquet.
Mo Beichen secretly sent Yun Qingluo and her two children to the General's Mansion with his imperial guards.
He knew they hadn't seen each other for so long, they must have a lot to talk about, and it was time for him to say goodbye.
However, he couldn't leave himself, as he had to discuss matters with several important ministers.
Now that the world is unified, many laws and regulations need to be adjusted.
Everything is in ruins and needs to be rebuilt.
Fortunately, it was only a matter of time, but time was exactly what Mo Beichen needed most. He needed to take Luo Luo to get treatment; how could he waste time here?
Yun Qing landed at the entrance of the General's Mansion and found that her father, brothers, and mother were already waiting.
"Grandma, Grandma, Yueyue missed you so much!" As soon as she got off the carriage, Qianyue rushed into Yunmu's arms with her short legs.
"Oh, my little darling, Grandma has missed you too. Let me see you. Hmm, our Qianyue is getting more and more beautiful. In the future, she will definitely be a stunning beauty." Yunmu smiled and hugged Qianyue in her arms, saying happily.
Yun's father and the two Yun brothers, who were standing to the side, were a little jealous. Just as Yun Ziyu was about to say something, a small figure appeared in front of them.
"Zeyan greets his maternal grandfather and two uncles. Maternal grandfather, uncles, you must be tired from your journey." Zeyan bowed and respectfully greeted them.
The Yun father and son looked at each other, and the father frowned and glanced at Yun Qingluo, who shook her head helplessly.
She knew that her father wanted to ask Zeyan, a little child, how he had become so mature, making people feel sorry for him for no reason.
Yun's father bent down and helped Zeyan up. "The little guy still remembers his maternal grandfather. His maternal grandfather is very happy. However, according to custom, you are the crown prince, and we should bow to you."
Ze Yan looked up, his eyes calmly fixed on Yun's father. Yun's father was momentarily dazed, thinking he had seen Mo Beichen.
They look so alike.
Zeyan frowned his handsome little brows. "Grandfather, you are too kind to me. My mother is the Empress. Even when she sees my grandparents, she is still just your daughter. And I am just your grandson in your presence."
"Good, good, grandson, you've grown taller, hahaha, that's great." Father Yun patted Zeyan's head happily because of what Zeyan said.
Yun Ziyu immediately popped her head out, squatted down and said, "Zeyan, do you still remember your second uncle? When your uncle came back, he specially found the best blacksmith to make two swords for you, one for you to use now and one for you to use after you come of age. Consider this your birthday gift."
Zeyan was still a child, and when he heard that there were gifts, especially two of the best swords, his little face unconsciously lit up with a smile. "Zeyan thanks Second Uncle."
“Second brother, you’ve just returned and already won Zeyan’s heart. As your uncle, I can’t fall behind. I heard your mother mention in her letter that you enjoy studying the scenery of different regions. You should see all the beautiful landscapes of our country, but you’re still young. So, your uncle has specially found some rare books that record various aspects of mountains, rivers, lakes, and the culture and regions. I think you’ll find them interesting.”
The eldest uncle walked to Yun's father's side, looked down at his nephew, and became more and more satisfied.
Yes, at such a young age, he doesn't show his emotions easily; he certainly has the demeanor of a crown prince and will surely be a good ruler in the future.
Zeyan's eyes brightened even more, but remembering his status, he only bowed respectfully to express his gratitude.
Qianyue stepped out of Yunmu's arms, and Yunmu said at the right moment, "Qianyue also went to see her maternal grandfather and two uncles. They brought you gifts too."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qianyue walked up to Yun's father with her short legs and bowed to the three of them.
The little one's balance isn't very good yet, and he wobbles when he bows, making everyone hold back their laughter, afraid of making the little guy cry.
After the little guy finished bowing, he immediately looked at the three people with an expectant expression.
Yun's father finally couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Good, Qianyue, your manners are very good. Your maternal grandfather has prepared a beautiful dress for you. Let's go in and take a look."
"Yes, hurry inside, don't let my precious grandson get cold," Yunmu said hastily.
After saying that, he stepped forward, picked up Qianyue, and rushed inside, not forgetting to turn back and shout, "Quickly bring Zeyan in too, his little hands are getting cold from standing for so long."
Yun Ziyu scooped up Zeyan and said, "Alright, come on, Uncle will take you on a ride through the clouds." He then hoisted Zeyan onto his shoulders and ran quickly towards the door.
