In the majestic palace, civil and military officials came to welcome them. When they entered the palace, An Tingyu saw the Queen Mother and Concubine Feng sitting on the left and right under the dragon throne, as if they had been waiting for them long ago.
In the palace, Concubine Feng looked at An Tingyu's stunning beauty, and a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes, but she hid it well and did not show it.
She had heard from Feng Beijian a long time ago that An Tingyu was actually very beautiful and that the birthmark was fake, but hearing it and seeing it with her own eyes were different in terms of astonishment and shock. No wonder her silly brother was so obsessed with her. But even so, she would never allow it. A faded woman like An Tingyu was not worthy of entering their Feng Mansion.
"Empress Dowager, confer the title of Imperial Concubine on you!" An Tingyu simply said this, without kneeling or bending down, just standing there proudly.
"Child, come here!" The Queen Mother waved to her with rare tenderness.
An Tingyu was a little depressed, but she still walked over. The Queen Mother looked her up and down, and after a long moment she breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that she is really not hurt!"
"Yeah!" An Tingyu responded lightly. Although it was critical at that time, there was a waterfall under the cliff, and she was well protected by Mo Youcan, so she was not hurt at all.
"Don't do anything so dangerous next time. You're a girl, and the military camp is dominated by men, not to mention the plague. What you're doing is..."
"Empress Dowager, I have returned safely!" An Tingyu interrupted her. The Empress Dowager opened her mouth and seemed to want to say something, but in the end she swallowed the rest of the words.
"Sister An, you should call me Mother. Since we are already siblings, then my Mother is naturally Sister An's Mother as well. Mother, isn't that right?"
The Queen Mother did not speak. She just looked at An Tingyu expressionlessly, and it was impossible to tell her emotion.
"Your Majesty, although Miss An has been canonized as a princess, she is still a canonized princess. It may be against etiquette to call her mother. Aren't you making things difficult for Miss An?" At this time, Concubine Feng spoke with a faint smile, but as soon as she finished speaking, she was met with two cold stares, one from Long Xunyi, and the other was from the empress dowager.
"Call me whatever you want!" said the Queen Mother.
Tonight's banquet is said to be a welcoming banquet, but in fact it is also a New Year's Eve banquet, because today is the last day of the year and tomorrow is New Year's Day. However, the banquet had not started for long when An Tingyu asked to leave. Firstly, it was because she did not like this kind of complicated banquet, and secondly, she missed home. She had been away for several months and now she just wanted to go home. Moreover, Mr. An did not follow her into the palace, so she wanted to go back and stay up with him to celebrate the New Year's Eve.
"Sister An!"
Not long after An Tingyu walked out of the Golden Palace, Long Xunyi's voice came from behind.
"Little Yunxi, this is the New Year's money given to you by your royal uncle. Grow up healthy and don't let your mother worry too much, otherwise your royal uncle will beat you!" As soon as he walked in, Long Xunyi first smiled at little Yunxi in An Tingyu's arms, and took out a red envelope for little Yunxi.
Hearing this, An Tingyu smiled slightly, "How old is he? How can he understand what you are saying?"
"How could I not understand? Look, little Yunxi is winking at me! How adorable!" Long Xunyi teased little Yunxi, adding, "Little Yunxi looks like you! But luckily, it's a boy. Otherwise, she would definitely be a worry when she grows up. I'd have to worry all day about some brat abducting her."
"My royal brother, do you need to pay attention to your image?" An Tingyu pointed to the side, motioning him to look. Following An Tingyu's gaze, Long Xunyi turned back and saw that the guards on the side were staring at him in amazement, as if they were all saying: Is this person their wise and mighty emperor?
Long Xunyi cleared his throat uncomfortably and said, "I am acting as a wise ruler. A wise ruler should live in harmony with the people of the world."
The guards looked at each other, as if to say, is that so?
But since Long Xunyi had said that, they did not dare to refute him and could only say: "Your Majesty is wise!"
On the side, watching the idiot Long Xunyi, An Tingyu couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Haha, my royal brother! You really are a wise ruler!"
