Leng Yu came in front of everyone, dismounted, and Luo Lan also came to him with the children.
Leng Xi, along with Yu Qiaoqiao and Xiaobao, walked up to him and saluted him, looking as if nothing had happened.
"Good morning, Fourth Brother, Good morning, Fourth Sister-in-law."
Everyone clasped their fists and shouted in unison:
"Greetings to Prince Yu."
Looking at the calm Leng Xi, Leng Yu nodded and waved to everyone, saying, "Everyone, please excuse your formalities! It's getting late, let's go into the palace!"

After Leng Yu took the imperial edict, the emperor looked at him, covered his mouth and coughed lightly, then said earnestly:
"Yu'er, I have sat on this throne for over forty years. I am tired. In these years, as the regent, everything you have done has made me very satisfied. I also think you are a grateful person. Therefore, I am passing the throne to you. But I have a request. In front of so many people, you must promise me that after you ascend the throne, you will treat Yu'er well.
