"Greetings, Imperial Uncle." Xiao Yanchu bowed.
Ignoring Xiao Yanchu, the Prince of Lin'an looked at Su Ruojin and asked, "Where's the baby? Bring him here so I can see him."
Su Ruojin smiled and turned around to take the little bundle of milk from the wet nurse's hands. "Grandpa Xiao, this is Nian'er. Would you like to hold her?"
"Oh, alright, come here, little Nian'er, let Grandpa give you a hug."
Nian'er cooperated perfectly, as if she understood that the Prince of Lin'an was calling her, and suddenly grinned.
That smile melted the heart of the Prince of Lin'an.
The sons of the Prince of Lin'an all died on the battlefield, leaving no descendants. Seeing this little one now truly breaks his heart.
Su Ruojin didn't urge him. As long as the old man was willing to hold her, she let him hold her. Anyway, Nian'er was very well-behaved in Grandpa Xiao's arms, without crying or making a fuss.
She walked towards Lu Hong and Xing Qin, saying, "Prime Minister Lu, General Xing, you've come all this way, thank you for your trouble."
Lu Hong smiled and said, "I'll come even if it's from far away for Princess Leyang's full moon celebration."
In fact, Yuan Hong wanted to come in person, but Lu Hong stopped him, saying that a monarch should not leave lightly.
Yuan Hong couldn't persuade him otherwise, so he had to agree to let him come in his place.
Xing Qin bowed to Su Ruojin and said, "Greetings, Princess Le'an."
Su Ruojin quickly stepped aside to avoid the bow, saying, "General Xing, you are my elder, and I cannot accept this bow from you."
Xing Qin knew that Su Ruojin was saying this based on Xing Yue's side of the calculation.
Xing Yue is Su Ruojin's fifth sister-in-law, and I am Xing Yue's father, so I can be considered Su Ruojin's elder.
Xing Qin understood that Su Ruojin's attitude also showed that Xing Yue was highly valued in the Su family.
Xiao Yanchu chimed in, "General Xing, we're all family, there's no need for such formalities."
"Father!" A woman's voice suddenly rang out.
Xing Qin looked in the direction of the sound and saw her daughter looking at her with red eyes.
"Yue'er." General Xing Qin called out, and Xing Yue quickly walked over, with Su Yiting following closely behind to protect her.
"Father!" Xing Yue was about to kneel down when General Xing grabbed her arm. "Yue'er, you're not feeling well, why are you doing this?"
"Fifth Brother, take General Xing and Fifth Sister-in-law over there for a while." Su Ruojin knew that General Xing and Fifth Sister-in-law rarely saw each other and had a lot to talk about, so she asked Su Yiting to take the two of them over.
"Alright, alright. Father-in-law, let's go talk over there. Yue misses you terribly..."
As Su Yiting spoke, he led Xing Qin and Xing Yue to a quiet place so that the father and daughter could have a proper chat.
"His Majesty has arrived." The announcement from the gatekeeper suddenly silenced the once bustling courtyard for a moment.
Then an elderly person and a child came to the door.
Upon seeing this, everyone immediately knelt down, saying, "Your humble servants (your wives and daughters) pay their respects to Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor!"
Who else could it be but Xiao Bingyi?
Xiao Yanchu and Su Ruojin went to greet them, "Master (Sect Leader Qin), what brings you here?"
Su Ruojin knew that according to the rules of Qingyue Mountain, one could not leave the mountain until one had completed one's studies.
Qin Buyu laughed and said, "After Yi'er found out that Xiao Jin had a little sister, he was so excited that he ran all over the mountain. Every Qingyue Mountain disciple he met would tell them that he had a little sister."
He keeps telling me he'll definitely come to see his sister when she turns one month old. He even offered to learn the Green Mountain Sword Technique ahead of time in exchange for being able to attend her full-month celebration.
Xiao Yanchu was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.
Others may not know, but he knows very well that although the Green Mountain Sword Technique is one of the basic sword techniques of Green Mountain, it is also the most difficult sword technique to learn.
However, once this sword technique is mastered, learning other sword techniques from Qingyue Mountain will be much easier.
It took him half a year to master it back then. The fact that Yi'er is here today means that he has already mastered the Green Mountain Sword Technique. This speed is no less than his back then.
"This child only sleeps for two hours a day to attend this banquet, and practices swordsmanship under the waterfall every day. It must have been tough on him," Qin Buyu said.
Hearing this, Su Ruojin felt very sorry for Yi'er and reached out to take his hand. "Xiao Bao, come here, I'll take you to see the little sister."
Unexpectedly, Yi'er took a step back, avoiding her hand.
