Situ Ye and Tian Ji enjoyed a delightful conversation in the study of the Charity Bureau, which lasted from the afternoon until sunset, seemingly oblivious to the passage of time. As night fell, the two concluded their long conversation, still reluctant to leave, and each set off on their own journey home.
That evening, Tianji rushed back to the Xiangjun Mansion without stopping. Upon entering, he eagerly shared his upcoming journey with his wife, Lü Furong. However, Tianji chose to conceal the true purpose of his trip—to serve as the commander of a private army—and simply mentioned that Situ Ye had some assets in Youzhou that needed his personal care.
After hearing this, Lü Furong acted very understandingly: "My husband, a real man should have lofty ambitions and conquer the world. Now Zheyi and I live and work here in peace and contentment, and we have a prosperous life. You don't need to worry about anything. Just go ahead and do what you should do!"
In reality, Lü Furong had long known Tianji's true identity, but over the years, the couple had kept it a secret, never broaching the heavy and sensitive subject. She knew her husband was no ordinary man, and that one day he would soar above the heavens like a dragon emerging from the sea or an eagle flapping its wings.
Because of this, when faced with her husband's sudden decision to leave the capital and travel to Youzhou for a period of time, Lü Furong did not object, but instead offered full understanding and support. She believed Tianji would achieve great things on his journey, and was willing to quietly wait at home with her daughter Zheyi for his return.
"Arong..." Tianji was deeply moved by his considerate wife. He hugged his childhood sweetheart tightly and promised her that he would return safely.
After Tianji spent two days at home with his wife and daughter, he set out on a journey north to Youzhou on the morning of the tenth day of the second lunar month, under the pretext of going out to take care of business.
At the same time, a carriage from the General's Mansion in the east of the city was also rumbling on the official road, heading towards the imperial palace in the city.
"Xiao Yunyun, do you think our Xiao Jin great-grandson and Xiao Jin great-granddaughter will look more like their mother or their father?" In the carriage, Mulan Jin was extremely excited and asked his old wife beside him questions from time to time.
Feng Jingyun tried hard to suppress his inner excitement, but he remained calm and composed. He said slowly, "Isn't it obvious? The child either looks like his mother or his father, or both."
Feng Cailan, who was sitting by the window with Feng Qiyan on the left, also responded seriously, "Mother is right. I guess the young master and young lady either look like the Crown Princess, or the Crown Princess, or both."
As for Yu Jingyang, who was sitting opposite Feng Cailan, he just smiled and said nothing, occasionally whispering a few words to Feng Lingyan, who was wearing a veil beside him.
Along the way, the carriage was filled with a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere, like the warm sunshine in spring, warm and pleasant.
The group soon arrived at the gate of the palace. Today was the ten-day holiday for the Imperial College, so Hua Qingcheng, who did not go to school, rode Xiangyun horse and went to the gate of the palace to greet them in person.
Under the guidance of Hua Qingcheng, the Feng Mansion's carriage drove straight to the East Palace.
Yu Jingyang helped Feng Lingyan out of the car, while Feng Cailan slowly helped the two old people down.
"We're finally here." Mulan Jin, who has white hair and a youthful face, could not hide her excitement.
"Yeah." Feng Jingyun also nodded slightly.
The Feng family followed Hua Qingcheng's footsteps and entered the gate of the East Palace. They went straight to Lingkun Courtyard.
Along the way, Mulanjin and Feng Jingyun were whispering about the great-grandson and great-granddaughter of Xiao Jin who were about to meet. Yu Jingyang and Feng Lingyan of Dai Muli walked in the middle, listening to the two of them talking quietly, while Feng Cailan followed behind them silently.
At the end of the Chen hour, the Feng family and Hua Qingcheng finally arrived at Lingkun Courtyard. At this time, Mu Lige was half lying on the couch in the hall, supported by Shu Mo and Li Xiang. Situ Ye and Wu Chen were holding a child each, and were waiting for the arrival of the Feng family together with Han Yichen, Yu Xiaotian, Si Chengfeng, and Zuo An.
As soon as the Feng family walked into the hall, Mu Lige, who was sitting on the couch, was about to stand up and greet Feng Jingyun, Mulanjin, Feng Lingyan and others, but was stopped.
"My dear grandson, you are still in confinement after giving birth. Lie down and rest quickly, and take care of your body first." After Mulan Jin exchanged a few words with Mu Lige, her eyes were attracted by the two little guys in Situ Ye and Wu Chen's arms.
"These are my great-grandson and great-granddaughter!" Mulan Jin smiled happily and walked forward briskly.
Situ Ye and Wu Chen carefully handed the little daughter and the little son to Mulan Jin and Feng Jingyun.
"What a cute little guy!" Mulanjin and Feng Jingyun looked at the delicate little person in the cradle, their hearts almost melted, they couldn't let go, each of them hugged one, smiling from ear to ear.
Feng Cailan nodded seriously and said, "Your Highnesses are indeed good-looking."
"Grandma, Grandpa, my nephew and niece look so small!" Feng Qiyan blinked her watery eyes, looking at the two babies with admiration.
Yu Jingyang rubbed his daughter's head lovingly: "Silly child, when you were little, you were like nephews and nieces, and you grew up slowly to be as big as you are now."
Everyone started praising him. For a moment, the hall was filled with laughter and joy.
Mulanjin teased the child for a while, then cast his gaze on Yu Jingyang's belly. He pondered inwardly that his daughter was so absorbed in state affairs that, even with a virtuous husband by her side, she had no time to care for them. As a result, the Feng Mansion had only had one granddaughter, Feng Qiyan, for many years, which was indeed a bit too lonely. He secretly made up his mind to ask Feng Cailan to work harder and have more children while Yu Jingyang was still young...
