Ning Yuyuan was the only person she didn't know, but for some reason, she felt a strange sense of familiarity with Ning Yuyuan. Perhaps it was because she was Ning Ci's granddaughter, and that blood-related kinship made her feel a sense of warmth.
Just as Ning Ci was about to answer Ning Yuyuan's question, he was interrupted by Yuwen Li's inquiry. Just as he was about to respond to Yuwen Li, his attention was drawn to the conversation between Chu Chenxiao and the others.
She has an easygoing personality. Although the situation before her left her somewhat bewildered, she decided to make the best of it. Besides, there were many people she cared about and knew well here, including her close friends, daughter, and granddaughter, which made her feel incredibly happy.
She looked around at everyone, her gaze gentle as water, and finally settled on Yin Yuyao, saying softly, "Yao, you've lost weight."
Yin Yuyao was already in tears when she saw everyone, and hearing Ning Ci's words, she was overcome with grief.
Seeing this, Ning Ci and Yuwen Li quickly went to her side and skillfully comforted her, one on each side.
Chu Yanxi and Chu Qiaoling's attention was also drawn to the three of them. They knew Yin Yuyao, but were not very familiar with the other two. However, they could guess their identities from their actions.
For a moment, the spacetime rift became exceptionally quiet.
Ning Qianyun stood in the middle of the crowd. As a key figure connecting the two dynasties, she began to explain to everyone.
She first looked at Ning Ci and the others from Rongchao, her tone tinged with emotion: "Mother, Aunt, Empress Dowager, these are people from Yechao. Yechao is a new dynasty established after the fall of Rongchao."
Then, she introduced them one by one: "This is Chu Qiaoling, the founding emperor of the Night Dynasty, and also my mother in the Night Dynasty. This is Chu Yanxi, the second emperor of the Night Dynasty, and my elder sister in the Night Dynasty. This youngest one is Chu Chenxiao, the new emperor of the Night Dynasty, and my niece. Mother should know them all."
After introducing the people from Yechao, Ning Qianyun turned her gaze to Chu Qiaoling and the others, and said with a smile, "Mother, sister, and Xiao'er, you don't know that I am from Rongchao. Due to some reasons, I became Xixi's host, and thus gained many relatives."
Chu Qiaoling and Chu Yanxi were indeed completely unaware of this, but Chu Chenxiao understood in her heart. However, she did not speak and listened quietly to Ning Qianyun's account.
Ning Qianyun continued to introduce everyone: "This is my mother, Ning Ci, in the Rong Dynasty. This is Yuwen Li, whom I consider an elder in the Rong Dynasty; I call her Aunt. As for the Empress Dowager, you all know her; I am her daughter."
After this introduction, the people from Rongchao and Yechao had a basic understanding of each other.
Only Ning Yu stood aside, watching everyone with curiosity.
She only knew Ning Ci, Yin Yuyao, and Chu Chenxiao. It was only through Ning Qianyun's introduction that she learned the identities of the others.
It turns out that the beautiful woman beside my grandmother was actually my grandmother's dearest friend.
The two dashing women beside Chu Chenxiao were actually the two former emperors of the Night Dynasty.
What surprised her most was that the beautiful woman who introduced the situation to everyone was actually her maternal grandmother's daughter, the aunt who only existed in her memory.
She was shocked to learn that her aunt had different life experiences in two different dynasties.
Seeing that everyone was gradually getting to know her, Ning Qianyun turned her gaze to Ning Yuyuan, her eyes softening, "You are my mother's granddaughter? Then you are my niece."
After saying that, she gently took Ning Yuyuan's hand, looked at it carefully, and her eyes were full of tenderness.
Ning Yuyuan tilted her head slightly, looking at Ning Qianyun with curiosity and affection in her eyes. "Aunt, all of this is so wonderful. I never thought there would be such a day, to be able to meet you and Grandmother, and to meet so many people I've never met before."
Yin Yuyao had gradually calmed down. She gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar faces around her, and sighed, "Although the world changes and dynasties rise and fall, the friendship between us has never changed. To meet again in this parallel universe is a blessing from fate."
Yuwen Li gently patted Yin Yuyao's shoulder and said with a smile, "Yes, Ayao. We have gone through many twists and turns, but we have still been able to reunite. In the days to come, we must support each other and overcome difficulties together."
Ning Ci nodded slightly, her gaze sweeping over everyone before finally settling on Ning Yuyuan. She asked, "How have you been since I left, Yuyuan? How are your parents?"
Upon hearing her grandmother's question, Ning Yuyuan's eyes reddened slightly, and she said softly, "Grandmother, after you left, I was initially very unsettled and often confided my feelings to your portrait at night. My parents... also missed you very much. However, the world is unpredictable, and later our family encountered some misfortunes. Fortunately, everything has gradually calmed down. Now that I can see you here, Grandmother, I feel as if I am in a dream."
Ning Ci felt a pang of pain in her heart. She raised her hand and gently stroked Ning Yuyuan's cheek, her eyes filled with tenderness. "It's Grandma's fault for not being able to stay by your side. From now on, with Grandma here, I will never let you suffer again."
Seeing this, Yin Yuyao stepped forward and took Ning Ci and Ning Yuyuan's hands, saying softly, "The past is the past. It must be a blessing from heaven that our family can be together in this parallel universe. Let's cherish the present and face everything unknown together."
Yuwen Li nodded in agreement, "Ayao is right. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are in this parallel universe, as long as we work together, we will definitely find a way out."
Ning Ci nodded before replying to Yuwen Li, "Many things happened after I left the palace, and I will tell you about them slowly in the future. It's so good to see you all alive and well now."
Yuwen Li's eyes reddened slightly. She gently patted Ning Ci's shoulder and said with emotion, "Yes, Ci, I thought those days would be our last goodbye. I never thought we would meet again. You must have suffered a lot along the way. With me here, I will never let you face things alone again."
