"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, something happened! Something terrible happened!"
Zhou Sisi heard Song Ziyu's loud voice from a distance. She turned around and saw this guy riding a horse and galloping towards them from a distance.
Today was the day she went to the farm to check on the harvest of American ginseng this year, mainly because there was a bumper harvest of the crop, and she had to keep an eye on it so that the farmers could hurry up and harvest it and pack it and send it to the Northern Dynasty.
I’ve only been here for a short while, how come this guy is already chasing me!
"What are you yelling about! Who is your sister-in-law? Are you itching for trouble, little brat?" Qiao Yuyi immediately stood beside his aunt, like an old hen protecting her chicks.
"Stay away! Something really big has happened!" Song Ziyu pushed Qiao Yuyi, who was standing in front of Zhou Sisi, to squat.
"You dare to push me! Aunt, look at him!" Qiao Yuyi stood up from the ground, rubbing his butt, and complained to Zhou Sisi angrily.
"Okay! Why do you two fight whenever you meet? If you keep quarreling, I'll beat you up and you'll behave yourself!" Zhou Sisi glared at him, and Qiao Yuyi immediately stopped.
Song Ziyu also covered his mouth and dared not say any more nonsense. The main reason was that Zhou Sisi beating him was a small matter. He was just beaten up. If his eldest brother and his mother knew about it, he would definitely not be able to escape the mixed doubles match.
"What happened? Why are you in such a hurry? Is there a fire in your house?" Zhou Sisi glanced with disdain at Song Ziyu who jumped off his horse and ran towards her. The boy was sweating profusely. He was always jumpy and could make a big deal out of a small matter.
"Sister-in-law, this is really a big deal. Concubine Yu asked me to inform you!"
"Cousin Lingyun is back and is in the palace right now!"
"Really? That's great. I'll go back after I've taken inventory of the goods here. Go back and tell your brother to find someone to clean up the princess's mansion. Sister Lingyun has been gone for more than two years. I really miss her!"
Zhou Sisi did not lie. After attending Song Tanghui's wedding ceremony, Song Lingyun left a letter and went traveling with Yan He. The letter did not say where she and Yan He went, but she knew that they were very free and easy outside, and she was a little envious.
"Uh! My brother is not in the capital, he went to the pearl farm, and my cousin didn't come back alone!" Song Ziyu didn't know how to start for a moment.
"He must have come back with Yan He! Do you need to tell me? They have a very good relationship!" Zhou Sisi answered casually while flipping through the account book in annoyance.
"Uh! Not two but three. My cousin brought back a baby girl, saying she gave birth to her. My uncle is so angry that he fainted. That's why Concubine Yu asked me to come back and ask you for help!"
"What?"
"Sister Yun gave birth to a baby?"
"You little brat, why didn't you tell me earlier!" Zhou Sisi said and kicked Song Ziyu in the butt.
"Give me the horse!"
"Xiaoyi, I leave this to you!"
"I'll go back first!"
Zhou Sisi threw down the pen in her hand, grabbed the horse that Song Ziyu was riding, jumped on the horse, and rushed out of everyone's sight like an arrow.
"Hiss! My butt! She was the one who told me to shut up!" Song Ziyu rubbed his butt with a resentful look on his face.
"You deserve it! Hehehe!" Qiao Yuyi turned his head proudly and started the work assigned to him by his aunt, not bothering to even look at this big fool.
When Zhou Sisi rode her horse into the palace, others might need to be informed before entering the palace, but she didn't need that at all. The guards in the palace showed her more respect than they did Qiao Wenyuan.
When they saw from a distance that it was Princess Yongjia, they all saluted respectfully. Even if she came on a tiger, let alone a horse, they would not stop her.
When she saw the little girl in Song Lingyun's arms, she immediately laughed. It seemed that what Song Ziyu said was true. The little girl was so delicate and looked exactly like Song Lingyun. It was obvious at a glance that she was her biological daughter.
Moreover, she felt that Song Lingyun's entire temperament seemed to have changed, becoming softer. Perhaps this was the glory of motherhood.
"Give me a hug, you're so cute!"
"What's her name? Sister Yun, Old Man Yan, you two are really quick!"
Seeing Zhou Sisi's delighted look, Song Lingyun directly handed the five-month-old baby in his arms to Zhou Sisi.
"Her name is Song Pingle, and her nickname is Lele!" Yan He replied with a smile. He is now content with having a daughter. Just seeing Ayun and Lele every day is enough for him.
"Song Pingle?" Zhou Sisi looked at Yan He in surprise, then looked at the smiling Song Lingyun.
"Yes! This is Ayun's child, so of course he should take her last name, right? Why are you looking at me like that? Ha! Don't look down on me!" Yan He knew what Zhou Sisi was thinking, and immediately straightened his body proudly.
"Le Le, look at your dad being so cocky, humph! We won't play with him!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! So cute!"
Zhou Sisi held the baby tightly in her arms and refused to let go. The more she looked at the baby, the more she liked it. She even wanted to have a baby.
"Sister! You're back!"
"Show me my niece!"
"Big sister, let me see it! I want to see the baby too!"
Song Xinglan, also known as Zhou Jincheng, ran in with Zhou Yun'an from outside. They also heard the news and knew that Song Lingyun had returned and brought back a little baby. They immediately put down their books and rushed to the imperial study.
As soon as the two came in, they surrounded Zhou Sisi, who was holding the little girl, and scrambled to hold the baby.
"You two, stay away! How can you hold a child with such clumsy hands? You are still a child!"
"Just look at it, don't do anything! Our little Lele's face is so tender, you two little brats can only look at it, understand!"
Zhou Sisi held Xiao Lele in her arms, to make it easier for the two little brats to look after the baby, and then she sat on a chair, letting the two little brats circle around her.
Little Lele was not afraid of raw milk and was blowing bubbles, which made him look even cuter. His big eyes were blinking, which simply melted everyone's heart.
"Ah! This is my little great-granddaughter, come and hug me, you two little brats, get out of my way!"
The Empress Dowager also rushed over from her bedroom upon hearing the news. She had just taken a nap. When she woke up, Nanny Qin beside her told her that the eldest princess had returned and brought a baby with her. The emperor was so angry that he fainted.
She then hurriedly brought people over, and when she saw the adorable little baby, her eyes narrowed into slits with smile.
"This child really looks like you, Lingyun, when you were a child!"
"Here! Little darling, take it! This is a gift from the royal ancestor, take it quickly!"
The Queen Mother took a gold and jewel necklace from Nanny Qin and immediately put it around the baby's neck. I don't know if the baby knew how valuable the necklace was, but he grabbed it with one hand and wouldn't let go, showing a sweet smile that made everyone laugh.
"You must be Yan He!"
After the Queen Mother had finished teasing the baby, she formally looked at Yan He, who was standing aside a little uneasy, and sized him up and down with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Yes! I am Yan He! Meet the Queen Mother!" Yan He didn't know how to salute, and his salute was weird, making everyone around him cover their mouths and laugh.
"I originally thought you were just fooling around, so I didn't care too much. Now that the child is born, don't you have anything to say?"
The Queen Mother looked at Yan He unkindly, as if she wanted to see something from his face.
Who knew that Yan He would kneel down on the ground with a thud. This was the first time that the people around saw Yan He kneeling down, and they were all shocked.
"I, Yan He, swear to heaven that I will only be good to Ah Yun in my life. I will love and respect her, and I will never betray her or deceive her!"
"I was born a worthless person, but it was Ayun who gave me the feeling of home. I will use my whole life to protect them and their daughter. As long as I can do it, I will gladly sacrifice my life for it."
"I also hope that the Queen Mother can help me and Ayun!"
Then Yan He began to kowtow. The Queen Mother gave a look and Nanny Qin stepped forward to support Yan He's body as he was about to kowtow, and immediately lifted him up.
Yan He was also a little stunned. He didn't expect that the old lady beside the Empress Dowager was actually a martial artist. His martial arts skills were not bad either, but he was directly picked up by this old lady. This palace really is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers!
“Okay! Okay! Okay!”
"I don't have anything to say. Just be nice to Lingyun. She suffered a lot when she was little!"
"As long as you two are fine, that's all! Take good care of my little grandchildren, and give me a few more to hug!"
The Queen Mother's eyes were a little red. She stepped forward, took Song Lingyun's hand, and put her hand into Yan He's hand, with a hint of comfort in her eyes.
"Empress Dowager, I heard that His Majesty was so angry that he fainted. What should we do?" Zhou Sisi rolled her eyes and gave Song Lingyun a playful look, then complained to the Empress Dowager.
"Yes! Grandmother, the teacher said in class that we should be open-minded when doing things. Besides, Sister Yun didn't do anything bad. Why is father so petty?"
Song Xinglan knew what her sister wanted to do, so she immediately took over the conversation and spoke seriously, not looking like a joke at all.
"Your father's skin is too tight. I'll ask Nanny Qin to loosen it up for him, and he'll be comfortable!"
"Alright, you two can just chat! I'll go talk to him now!"
"Stay in the palace tonight for dinner! Don't leave! Wait for me to come back!"
After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, she left angrily with Nanny Qin. Before leaving, she took away a feather duster from the imperial study.
Everyone looked at each other and started laughing.
Anyway, I don’t know how the Queen Mother communicated, but for at least three days, Emperor Dayu stood during the morning court session.
