Upon entering the alley, Li Lanzhen saw a group of people standing at the gate of her house.
Once the carriage came to a stop, Han Minghai quickly jumped down and helped Li Lanzhen down with both hands.
Han Yinan and the others immediately ran up and hugged her.
"Grandma, Grandma, you've finally come!"
Li Nanzheng looked at his eldest grandson Han Yinan, who was hugging him, and Gou Dan Han Zhichu.
Looking up, he saw Zheng Sanwang standing behind him, looking helpless, wanting to come up but not moving.
"Sanwang, come here, let Grandma take a look."
Zheng Sanwang ran over happily, stopped in front of Li Lanzhen, and grabbed Han Yinan's shoulders tightly with both hands.
Li Lanzhen opened her arms and hugged him.
Zheng Sanwang's eyes were a little moist. It had been more than four years since he had felt a hug like that of a family member.
He felt very happy at that moment!
Han Shulan and Han Yuemei came over in small steps, "Mother, you've finally come. This time you're not going back."
Mrs. Wu smiled and said, "Sister Lanzhen, you must be tired from your journey. Please come inside."
A group of people surrounded Li Lanzhen, laughing and joking as they entered the room.
There were only two tables in the main room, with tea, melon seeds and snacks on them.
The maidservant quickly brought hot water for Li Lanzhen and the others to wash their hands and faces.
After washing her hands and face, Li Lanzhen felt much better.
Han Shulan brought Xiaobao over and called out to him.
"Xiao Bao, look, Grandma's here."
Xiao Bao still remembered Li Lanzhen. After seeing her, he stood in Han Shulan's arms for a while, then opened his arms, grinned, and drooled, wanting Li Lanzhen to hold him.
Li Lanzhen picked him up and patted his little bottom.
"Oh my, Grandma's little grandson, so cute!" He chuckled.
After kissing for a while, Han Shulan clapped her hands and said, "Mom, I'm holding Xiaobao. You should sit down and rest. You must be exhausted from the journey."
"Sit for a little while, then dinner will be served."
Han Shulan took the baby from her arms, and he started playing with Han Yibo.
When Li Lanzhen noticed that Han Mingxiang was not there, she asked Han Shulan.
"Mingxiang hasn't finished her shift yet."
"Yes, Mother, it will be soon. Please sit down."
Li Lanzhen was indeed a little tired. She sat in a chair, drinking tea, listening to the children chattering in her ear, telling her about the interesting things they were doing at the academy.
Shopkeeper Han Minghai, along with Xue Laohu and Xue Bao, were also chatting on the side.
Li Lanzhen glanced at the sky outside the courtyard, where it was already getting dark, and then she heard Han Mingxiang calling her loudly from inside the courtyard.
"Mother, Mother, Mother, you've come."
As they were talking, the curtain was lifted and a tall figure entered.
Li Lanzhen looked up and saw that it was her youngest son, Han Mingxiang.
Han Mingxiang walked up to Li Lanzhen, put his hands on her, and smiled happily.
"Mother, are you really willing to come? We've all missed you. This time you're coming, you're staying here and you're not allowed to leave."
Li Lanzhen patted his arm, watching him become increasingly composed.
The child has grown up. Without experiencing society, how can one grow?
When dealing with matters in the imperial court, one must be careful in every aspect.
"Okay, Mom will stay a few more days to keep you company and Xiaobao."
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Yuemei next to him started to act coy.
"Mother, won't you spend some time with your daughter?"
Seeing his wife pouting in grievance, Xue Bao stood up to join in the fun, "Mother, where's your son-in-law?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the room burst into laughter.
Han Mingxiang whispered in Li Lanzhen's ear.
"Mother, wait a moment, the Crown Prince and the Princess will be coming soon. They often talk about you. The Princess keeps saying she wants to go back to her home in Peach Blossom Spring and go find you."
Li Lanzhen wasn't there either. They had spent so much time together, and the fact that they missed each other shows that the two children cherish their old friendship.
But after all, they are royal princesses and princes, so it's best not to get too close.
She nodded and said, "Okay, I miss my two children too."
And Su Chen will be coming too, right?
At this moment, the maid came to ask if it was time to serve the dishes.
Han Mingxiang waved her hand, "Wait a moment while the dishes are served."
Everyone assumed he had just returned from work and wanted to talk to Li Lanzhen before having dinner, so they didn't think much of it.
The people inside the house were talking when footsteps sounded in the courtyard.
Li Lanzhen heard that quite a few people had entered the courtyard, and that many of them were highly skilled.
As the footsteps grew closer, Li Lanzhen sensed that there were quite a few people on the roof. She looked up but saw no one.
Royal travel is always the finest!
Hearing footsteps, Han Mingxiang quickly went over and lifted the door curtain.
The Crown Prince and Linglong entered the room, followed by Su Chen.
As soon as the three people entered the room, everyone immediately prepared to kneel down and pay their respects.
The Crown Prince raised his hand first, "This is home, there's no need for formalities. Please make yourself at home."
That's what they say, but we can't abandon etiquette.
The young and old alike clasped their hands and knelt down, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince; greetings, Your Highness the Princess."
Seeing everyone get up, Linglong's expression changed completely. She had been so composed just now, but as soon as she stepped through the door, she immediately revealed her childlike side.
Linglong ran happily to Li Lanzhen and hugged her waist tightly with both hands.
"Grandma, you've finally come! I'm going to Peach Blossom Spring with you this time. The capital city is no fun at all."
The prince stood across the table and nodded to Li Lianzhen, "Auntie, you've worked hard."
Li Lanzhen wondered to herself how the two children's generational ranking was determined.
It doesn't matter, let the children in Peach Blossom Spring call them whatever they want.
When Wu and Han Shulan saw that everyone had arrived, they quickly called the maids and servants to serve the dishes.
Before long, two tables were laden with dishes.
Li Lanzhen sat at one table with the men, while the women and children sat at another table.
Li Lanzhen watched as Su Beisheng helped the Crown Prince sit down and then got up and left. She opened her mouth, wanting to call him.
Then I realized that this wasn't the Peach Blossom Spring.
Forget it, let's just follow the rules. This is the capital city.
The meal was very pleasant, and everyone ate in silence.
They were just talking quietly to the people around them.
The dinner was a great success, with everyone enjoying themselves immensely!
When the Crown Prince left, Li Lanzhen brought out four baskets.
"Your Highness, these are all specialties from Peach Blossom Spring."
Please take this to the Emperor, and please take it to your parents to try.
She brought the Emperor and Empress salted duck eggs, dried chicken, duck and goose, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and vermicelli.
These are all products of this space.
Li Lanzhen thought that since the Emperor had bestowed upon her the title of Yiren and granted her Peach Blossom Spring, she should have shops and estates.
She dared not give them the spiritual spring water from her space, so she had to settle for giving them food from her space instead.
He could at least improve his health; judging from the current situation, Emperor Yuan of Jin can be considered a wise ruler.
The Crown Prince was delighted to see the four baskets of gifts from Li Lanzhen. He accepted them without hesitation and clasped his hands in a fist salute.
"Thank you very much, Auntie."
The guards behind them carried the basket out of the courtyard, and the Crown Prince also left with Princess Linglong, who kept turning back to look at him.
