Seeing this scene, Ling Wuxiao sighed awkwardly, and Queen Zhou began to wipe her tears again.
Seeing this, Ling Feng hurried forward to comfort him:
"Father, Mother, please don't be impatient. Take your time!"
Queen Zhou covered her face and cried again, muttering,
"We've been looking for him for eight years. During these eight years, I dreamed of meeting him every night. I never thought that when I saw Kang'er again after eight years, the scene would be like this. Oh!"
"Mother, please don't worry. Yicheng has been wandering outside for eight years, so it's understandable that he can't accept his own life experience for a while..."
Seeing this, Luo Lan nodded and said:
"Yes, now that you've found him, there's no need to rush to recognize each other. You've come a long way, so take a rest first."
Ling Yuanxiao looked at Luo Lan with gratitude in his eyes.
"Because we left in a hurry, we estimate that the visiting card will reach the hands of the Emperor of Daning Kingdom a little later than us. Our arrival this time is a bit abrupt. We hope that the Emperor of Daning Kingdom will not blame us for being rude."
Luo Lan was just a little bothered by this matter, but after he said this, she remembered it.
They must have rushed to Daning Kingdom to see Yi Cheng as soon as they received Ling Feng's letter. Even if their visiting cards left at the same time as them, they would only arrive at the Ministry of Rites together with them. After going through layers of review by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, when they finally reached the hands of the emperor, they would definitely arrive later than the time when they arrived at Prince Yu's Mansion.
In this case, we should understand them.
She nodded immediately.
"It's alright. You're both so eager to find your son. The Emperor will understand your feelings. You two can go and rest first. I'll have dinner prepared."
Ling Yunxiao and Queen Zhou saluted together.
"I'm sorry to trouble you."
After saying this, they both turned around to look at Yi Cheng, then reluctantly walked towards the door.
Luo Lan hurriedly asked Agang to arrange for them to stay in the west wing, and she returned to Yicheng's room again.
At this time, Lele, Yicheng and Anan were sitting together talking about something. When they saw her come in, Yicheng looked at her with a face full of grievance.
"Mom, I'm sorry for causing you trouble because of me."
Seeing Yi Cheng's cautious look, Luo Lan pretended to be angry and looked at him.
"Silly child, this is your home. I am your stepmother, and they are your biological parents. How can this be called a nuisance? But you, they came all the way here, and you are so indifferent to them."
Yi Cheng looked up at her anxiously.
"Mother, they are like strangers to me. If I greet them with a smile, they will definitely ask me to follow them back to Dongyang State. I don't want to go. I don't want to leave Daning State. I don't want to leave you."
An An and Yi Cheng also followed suit.
"Mom, is there any way to stop Yicheng from leaving?"
"Yes, it's pitiful for him to return to a strange place alone. We don't want to leave him. Mother, please think of a solution."
Looking at the expectant eyes of the three children, Luo Lan smiled bitterly.
"Yi Cheng is from Dongyang Country, after all. How can I, mother, keep him? Besides, Yi Cheng's parents and brothers have suffered a lot over the years trying to find him. They will be very sad if Yi Cheng treats them so coldly. I am also a mother. My child has been missing for eight years. I can understand this urgency."
Luo Lan's words made Yi Cheng fall into deep thought.
He pinched his fingers and lowered his head.
"Long live the emperor."
The sound of the servants bowing came, and at the same time, Leng Yu strode in. Luo Lan hurriedly stood up to greet him. Yi Cheng, An An, and Le Le hurriedly stood up and bowed.
"Greetings to my adoptive father/my father."
"No need to be polite! Yicheng, I heard your biological parents are here?"
Seeing that he already knew about this, Luo Lan was afraid that he would blame the people of Dongyang for being rude, so he hurried forward to explain.
"They rushed over as soon as they received Ling Feng's letter, even arriving before the visiting card. It's truly pitiful how loving parents are!"
Leng Yu frowned and nodded.
"Well, I already know about this. Since they are here, they are guests. As the host, I have to do my best to be a good host."
Seeing that Leng Yu was not unhappy about their arrival, Luo Lan finally felt relieved.
He looked at the three children again and sighed in realization.
"These four children have lived together for several years, but now they have to separate. You will accompany me to meet the guests from Dongyang State and let them have a good reunion!"
"My husband is absolutely right."
She turned back to look at the three children.
"An'an, Lele, you should persuade Yicheng more. In this life, there will be reunions and separations."
After leaving these words behind, she and Leng Yu walked towards the door together.
When he got outside, Leng Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
"My wife is right. When people come together, they will also be separated. Yicheng is a smart and sensible child. I am reluctant to let him go."
"Yicheng's parents went through a lot of trouble trying to find him. We should be happy for them. Besides, all good things must come to an end..."
"I remember my wife also said that this separation is for the next meeting. Maybe we will have a chance to meet again in the future."
Having said this, he winked cunningly, then walked towards the front yard with his hands behind his back.
His words left Luo Lan confused, but she immediately blinked a few times as if she realized something, then chuckled and quickly followed.
Due to the arrival of the Dongyang people, Luo Lan's plan to go to Prince Ning's Mansion was put on hold. She specifically ordered Acai to say hello to Xingnan so that she wouldn't have to wait anxiously.
To express his welcome to the people of Dongyang, Leng Yu specially asked the royal chef from the palace to come to Prince Yu's mansion to prepare a dinner in the style of a distinguished guest.
There were not many people attending the dinner, only Leng Yu, Luo Lan and their three children, as well as the Emperor, Empress, Ling Feng and Aji of Dongyang Kingdom.
At the dinner table, Leng Yu was the first to raise his glass to express his welcome to the Emperor and Empress of Dongyang.
"Originally, I planned to entertain you two at the palace, but considering your fatigue from the journey, I will temporarily arrange the banquet at Prince Yu's residence. Please do not blame the Daning Kingdom for being slow and inattentive."
Ling Yunxiao raised his wine glass and looked at Leng Yu with gratitude.
"Over the years, Feng'er has often wandered abroad in search of Kang'er, suffering a great deal. Kang'er's mother, the Queen Mother, has also been seriously ill several times because of missing him. Although I, a grown man, have been longing for Kang'er to return home soon, I dare not show it. We never dreamed that Kang'er would receive your protection and be raised so well. This is his blessing. Here, I sincerely thank you for taking care of Kang'er. From now on, Daning Kingdom will be Kang'er's second home. Dongyang Kingdom will have friendly relations with Daning Kingdom for generations. What do you think?"
Ling Yunxiao has already said this, what else can Leng Yu say?
He immediately raised his glass and nodded.
"That's exactly what I was thinking. After drinking this cup of wine, our two countries will become friendly neighbors, and the people of our two countries will live in harmony. Oh, and men and women from our two countries can marry each other. What do you think of this idea?"
