Cuiyun, as she exited the palace gate, ran into Qin Jingmu and Qin Jingtai, who were returning.
"Greetings, Your Highnesses"
"Is Aunt Cuiyun going out?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Is Mother Consort in the palace?"
"Her Majesty is in the palace with..."
"Brother, let's go inside and find Mother quickly!"
As soon as Cuiyun finished speaking, Qin Jingtai hurriedly pulled Qin Jingmu towards the palace.
"Aunt Cuiyun, my brother and I will go find Mother Consort now."
Cuiyun stood behind, watching Qin Jingmu and Qin Jingtai run towards the main hall, smiled, then turned and walked out of the palace gate.
"Haha, Yuanyuan, are you serious?"
"Sister Jiaojiao, it's true! My grandmother laughed out loud when she saw the portrait Cuiyun brought back last time, praising the two princes for being funny and lively."
"They also say that the two princes are so handsome at such a young age; I wonder how many young girls they will bewitch in the future."
"Jingtai wouldn't dare to mess with a young girl; he's just a fool. But Jingmu is another story."
Qin Jingtai, who had just reached the palace gate, heard his mother call him stupid and ran straight into the main hall.
"Mother, how can you call me stupid? I'm smarter than my elder brother. You can ask him if you don't believe me."
Yang Jiaojiao looked at Qin Jingmu behind Qin Jingtai and saw Qin Jingmu agreeing with someone with a complicated expression, "Yes, you are the smartest. Among Father's children, you are the smartest, aren't you?"
Hearing Qin Jingmu's words of agreement, Qin Jingtai looked at Yang Jiaojiao with pride, "Mother, did you hear that?"
"I heard you, I heard you! You didn't even greet your aunt! You really need to be taught a lesson!"
The two immediately turned to face Yang Yuanyuan, saying, "Greetings, Auntie. Please forgive us for not greeting you earlier."
"Alright, you two boys, doesn't your aunt know?"
Yang Jiaojiao turned her gaze to Qin Jingmu, "Why are you here?"
"Mother, Jingtai and I are preparing to formally become disciples of Commander Zou Heng. We have come to ask for your permission." Qin Jingmu stood before Yang Jiaojiao, bowing respectfully as he spoke.
Yang Jiaojiao didn't react much after hearing this, saying, "It's up to you who you choose to be your master."
"On the condition that you don't cause me any trouble!!!!!!!!! I'm already broke!!!"
Yang Jiaojiao suddenly unleashed a lion's roar, startling Qin Jingmu and Qin Jingtai so much that they trembled.
"Yes, Mother."
"You two get out! Seeing you reminds me of how you two brothers squandered all my valuables!!!"
"Sigh, those two spendthrift sons, my heart is starting to ache again."
Yang Jiaojiao clutched her chest, pretending to be out of breath.
Qin Jingmu and Qin Jingtai hurriedly left. As they reached the palace gate, they heard Yang Jiaojiao's voice, which sounded mocking and gloating.
"Oh, by the way, I have some good news for you."
"By now, everyone in Guangchen's group should have a copy of the portrait of you hanging upside down from the tree."
"Sigh. Now that my two sons are celebrities, I, as their mother, am under so much pressure... Hahaha."
"No need to thank Mother~ Mother should help her son make a name for himself... Hahaha"
Standing at the door, Qin Jingtai was dumbfounded. Qin Jingmu looked at Yang Jiaojiao with extremely complicated and indescribable feelings, then covered Qin Jingtai's mouth before he could speak, and pulled him away.
"Sister Jiaojiao, look, I almost forgot about the important matter."
Yang Yuanyuan patted her head and said, "Granny Lu."
"Young Miss," the nanny who had been called stepped forward.
"Granny Lu, please open the lid."
Upon hearing Yang Yuanyuan's words, Granny Lu opened the lid in her hand, revealing the flowers inside.
Yang Jiaojiao quickly stepped down, exclaiming, "What kind of peony is this? It's so beautiful!"
Yang Yuanyuan walked up to Yang Jiaojiao with a smile, "Sister Jiaojiao, do you know the name of this peony?"
"I know?" Yang Jiaojiao pointed to herself, then looked at Yang Yuanyuan.
"Yes, Sister Jiaojiao."
"Could this be... Wei Zi Mudan?"
"good"
"Yuanyuan, did you really find it?"
"To be honest, Sister Jiaojiao, my grandmother happens to have a pot of Wei Zi Peony."
"So this pot of purple peony flowers belongs to your grandmother?"
"Yes"
Upon hearing this, Yang Jiaojiao immediately said, "Yuanyuan, take these flowers back to Grandma. I can't accept them."
Upon hearing this, Yang Yuanyuan also started pushing it forward, saying, "Sister Jiaojiao, you can accept it without worry."
"Well, when Grandmother found out that His Majesty asked you to help find them, she was overjoyed. She even told me to make sure to give the flowers to you so that you, my sister, could give them to His Majesty."
Upon hearing this, Yang Jiaojiao felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude towards Yang Yuanyuan, but she didn't know how to express it. She hadn't been entrusted by His Majesty to find Wei Zi Mudan; she had been punished by His Majesty by being forced to give up a pot of Wei Zi Mudan.
It seems that her mother and the others had told Yuanyuan everything, but unexpectedly, Yuanyuan covered for them, thus obtaining this pot of Wei Zi Peony.
"Thank you, Yuanyuan..."
"Sister Jiaojiao, what are you saying? There's no need for such formality between us."
Later, Yang Jiaojiao let Yang Yuanyuan stay at Liuyun Pavilion for lunch before releasing her from the palace. Meanwhile, Granny Lu remained in the palace until she had taught the palace staff how to care for Wei Zi Mudan before leaving.
In the afternoon, Yang Jiaojiao, accompanied by Cuiyun, Granny Lu, and Wei Zimudan, arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
At this time, Qin Jue had just returned to the palace with Xiao Xi'er. He had just put Xiao Xi'er on the bed and finished changing his clothes, preparing to take a nap with her, when Sanhezi came in to announce that Yang Jiaojiao had arrived.
