"Aaaaaaah!"
"emperor?"
"Your Majesty the Empress?"
"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!"
"Someone, go and report this immediately!"
"Our Emperor and Empress have returned!"
The palace maids in the Cold Palace saw Guan Zhiyue and Li Qiji, who were dressed very strangely and were soaking wet.
But the fact that it finally appeared was the greatest comfort to them!
"This servant greets Your Majesty and Your Majesty the Empress."
"Your Majesty, you've finally returned!"
Guan Zhiyue and Li Qiji were somewhat bewildered. She asked, "Has something happened in the palace?"
Shi Zhu nodded vigorously and said directly, "Yes, Chief Steward Hua discovered that His Majesty and Empress are missing. We've been searching for you for a whole day and night."
"Your Majesty, where have you been? You're all soaking wet."
Guan Zhiyue understood, glanced at Li Qiji, and gestured for him to explain!
Li Qiji did not explain, but said directly, "Serve the Empress to bathe and change her clothes."
Rosamund Kwan: ....
Although she was speechless, she still needed to take a shower, so she obediently stopped arguing with him.
She went to the bathroom first, and Li Qiji followed her into the bathroom next door.
Back at the Golden Palace, everyone was on tenterhooks after hearing that the Emperor had returned.
He finally relaxed and continued to report on today's events as if nothing had happened.
Li Qishang was misled by the civil and military officials, who said that the Emperor suddenly wanted to test the Crown Prince's professional abilities today.
Therefore, he will not attend court today. All officials should discuss their questions or matters that they are unable to decide in court first.
The ministers initially refused, arguing that the emperor hadn't abdicated yet.
The crown prince began to preside over state affairs, and at the very beginning, the ministers and the crown prince even had a brief struggle for power.
It seems the Crown Prince does possess some ability, so the dissenting voices are gradually diminishing.
Li Jingyu moved to Hua Quan's side, raised his hand to cover his lips,
Then he asked, "Eunuch Hua, have Father Emperor and Mother Empress truly returned?"
Hua Quan said in a low voice, "Yes, I'm back. Your Highness, don't worry. Now you can just focus on dealing with these ministers."
After court, you can go and pay your respects to the Emperor and Empress.
Li Jingyu nodded in understanding, and then joined the ministers in the discussion.
Seeing that none of the ministers had any intention of bullying the Crown Prince, Li Qishang stretched his arms leisurely.
He shook his leg before saying, "Sigh, as expected of Xiao Yue'er's child, she is so insightful at such a young age."
"Old Duke, your family has raised a fine daughter!"
Li Qishang looked at Guan Hongsheng, who was standing to the side, his eyes filled with affection.
Guan Hongsheng laughed, stroked his beard, and then said, "Hahaha, Your Highness is too kind. But I do have two wonderful daughters!"
After saying this, he gave Li Qishang a meaningful look.
Li Qishang understood, so he dropped his nonchalant attitude and clasped his hands in a salute to Guan Hongsheng.
"Yes, Father raised two good daughters."
What was happening in the corner went unnoticed by anyone, because the ministers were all discussing matters with the Crown Prince.
Their observations and the prince's novel ideas.

Leisurely clouds and reflections in the pool, the sun shines slowly; seasons change and stars shift, how many autumns have passed?
It is now September 20th of the 30th year of the Zhenggan era.
This is the 30th wedding anniversary of the Emperor and Empress.
"My husband, you have so many gray hairs on your head!"
Li Qiji plucked a brightly blooming rose and placed it in Guan Zhiyue's hair.
He tenderly took her hand and walked step by step toward Changlan Palace.
"We're all getting old, and naturally, gray hair is starting to creep all over our heads."
Although Guan Zhiyue was drinking water from her own space, and even using water from her own shop,
Things like pearl powder, but now it seems that time really does take its toll.
No one can escape aging; it's a normal natural process.
Wrinkles are still visible on her face.
The two of them slowly arrived at Changlan Palace.
They walked hand in hand into the main hall.
A young eunuch followed Hua Quan and loudly announced into the room, "The Emperor has arrived! The Empress has arrived!"
The ministers are all getting old, and some of them, even older ones, will be resigning after attending this wedding anniversary celebration.
If this is Guan Zhiyue's intention, then every time she sees these people, it might be the last time.
They took this opportunity to get everyone together.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Empress, may Your Majesty live ten thousand years and Your Majesty the Empress live a thousand years."
Li Qiji led Guan Zhiyue to the high seat, and after slowly sitting down, he said, "My beloved ministers, rise."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Qiji stood up, waved his hand, and said directly, "Today is the 30th anniversary of my marriage to the Empress. I would like to take this opportunity..."
I have gathered all my beloved ministers together. Some of you are retiring and returning to your hometowns. I wish you all good health and peace.
Everyone raised their wine cups, took a sip of the imperial wine, and then began to eat heartily.
Once they started talking, they began to recount all that had happened over the years.
Guan Zhiyue is now in her forties, while Li Qiji is even older.
I'm already fifty-one this year.
In the twenty-fifth year of the Zhenggan era, the patriarch and matriarch of the Guan family passed away one after another, and death began to slowly approach them.
In the twenty-seventh year of the reign of Emperor Zhengde, Xin Peilin, who is now the Princess Consort, and Prince Li'an passed away in the same year.
Every day is a subtraction, and no one can be sure when they will leave this world; life and death have become the norm!
"Let's raise our glasses and drink this toast together, wishing each other health and happiness!"
Guan Zhiyue stood up from the high platform and raised the white jade cup to the ministers and their families below.
The ministers and their families also sighed with emotion.
He echoed, "May everyone be safe, joyful, healthy, and live a long life!"
He tilted his head back and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, not leaving a single drop.

"Mother, you will surely live to be a hundred years old. Yuanyuan wants you to live to be a hundred years old."
Li Jingnuan is already a ten-year-old child. I don't know if it's a coincidence or fate.
Li Jingyuan was able to enter her weight loss space so naturally, something that she and Xiao Tuantuan had never been able to understand.
Afterwards, Guan Zhiyue was on tenterhooks for a long time, but seeing that nothing happened, she let down her guard.
"Oh my, our Yuanyuan is so adorable! Alright, then I'll take your good wishes and wish you a long and healthy life!"
Guan Zhiyue reached out and hugged Li Jingyuan in her arms. The ten-year-old little dumpling had been spoiled by her nine older brothers and had become a chubby little boy.
"Yuanyuan, although our name is Yuanyuan, we can't be Yuanyuan."
You need to be a healthy girl; you're really gaining weight.
Suddenly, something seemed to flash through Guan Zhiyue's mind.
A space for weight loss?
Round, is it round now?
Could these be related?
In an instant, she seemed to understand something. She smiled and kissed Li Jingyuan on the cheek, her face filled with a doting smile.
