"Greetings to the Empress Dowager, grandson..." Xie Yayuan was helped up before she could finish speaking.
"You don't need to be so polite. You're not an outsider. You're pregnant, so you should be careful. No need for formalities." She didn't insist that she bow.
"Thank you, Empress Dowager!"
"No need to thank me, sit down and eat. I don't have many rules here, just like before. If you feel uncomfortable, just pretend I'm not here."
"My granddaughter-in-law didn't feel uncomfortable at all; on the contrary, she felt at ease." She had a good impression of both empress dowagers, so she didn't feel uncomfortable seeing them again.
"I'm glad you're not uncomfortable. Let's eat. Where are the princes? I haven't seen them before." Aren't there three great-grandsons? Why aren't they here?
"My granddaughter-in-law was worried that they were too noisy, so she asked the nanny to serve her dinner. She will come to pay her respects to you later."
An Shuyi nodded, "Okay, let's eat!" Since the Empress said to make noise, then they should make noise. She shouldn't take it upon herself to have her three great-grandchildren come over.
Her eldest great-grandson is only six years old, and her youngest is just over one year old. They are both at an age that dogs and cats find annoying, and she is also afraid of noise.
After the meal, several great-grandchildren came to pay their respects. They originally wanted to give her a small gift, but found that they didn't have anything suitable, so they each gave her a bunch of grapes.
Although she took it out in front of Xie Yayuan, she wasn't afraid of what others might say. Besides, she wouldn't be staying for long, at most a few days, before she had to go back. But she didn't take it out in front of the children.
"Mother, what is this? It looks like grapes, but it doesn't look like them," Wenshan asked.
Looking at such a huge thing, he even wondered if his mother was really a deity, otherwise how could she have such a thing?
An Shuyi explained, "These are grapes, just bigger. After we left this world, we went traveling and happened to enter a small world where things were especially big."
"I have another ginseng here, Yan Zhen, keep it safe. Its medicinal effect is ten times that of other ginsengs, so use it sparingly." After saying that, he took out a ginseng from the warehouse.
"Because there are no suitable boxes, you can only put it anywhere. You can find someone to make a box to store it. You can't find someone to make one. You have to do it yourself. Put it in the sun to dry. That's the simplest way."
There are many methods for processing medicinal herbs, and they are quite complicated, but Yan Zhen didn't know them. The palace was full of eunuchs and maids, so he could only use the simplest method.
"Grandma, you should keep it. We can find ginseng here, we don't need any!" Yan Zhen declined, refusing to take it.
This ginseng is so big, it must have been hard to find. How could he take Grandma's things? He took a lot before, and he's taking more now. He's really shameless.
"Here you go, just take it. When I get back, I can find more. There are many ginsengs like this in that small world. You can use it if you need it in an emergency." After saying that, he placed it directly in his hand.
"Thank you, Grandma!"
"No need to thank me. When your father and the others come tomorrow, just let me know and I'll go to rest."
"good!"
After seeing their mother leave, Wenshan and Wenshi also left and went to the palace arranged by Yanzhen to stay. In principle, men like them should not live in the palace, but there were no other concubines in the palace, so they were not afraid of offending anyone.
The next day, An Shuyi got up early. After the palace maids served her breakfast, she was about to go to the Imperial Study when a eunuch came to report that the Emperor Emeritus was requesting an audience. Knowing that it was her eldest son who had come, he let him in, and she sat in the room to wait.
"Mother!" No one was seen, but the voice was heard first. Soon, Lin Wenyi appeared at the door, followed by Mu Tou and the others.
"Mother?" Looking at the person in the room, she called out again as if she couldn't believe it.
"What? Does becoming younger mean I'm no longer your mother? Come in and sit down!"
Lin Wenyi strode forward, wanting to hug her, but his mother was too young, and he hesitated.
An Shuyi hugged him, then let go. "I am your mother, don't worry, it's not fake. Are you all alright?"
"Everything is fine, Mother, don't worry!" She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"That's good, Huahua, come to your mother's." Last time they left, they didn't say goodbye to this daughter, they only left her a letter.
Lin Ruohua stepped forward and hugged her mother. "Mother, I thought I would never see you again in this life. I never thought I would see you again."
Five years ago, my mother left a letter saying that she and my aunt were not from this world and that they were leaving. She asked my aunt to take care of herself, but I still couldn't accept it, and so my mother left.
What she didn't expect was that her mother would return a few years later. Although she had become younger, she still recognized her at a glance.
"I never thought we'd meet again. How are you? Is Yanbo treating you well?"
"My daughter is doing very well, my husband is also very good, he is devoted to my daughter, and my children are all sensible." She has been very happy in her life.
She has a loving mother, aunt, husband, and family, which is something no one else can compare to.
"As long as they're doing well!" After saying that, he looked at his other sons, Mu Tou, and the other clansmen.
She hadn't expected so many people to come. It seemed that she and Huahua were very important to them, and their hard work had paid off.
She asked them to sit down and inquired about their lives one by one. She also recounted her experience of returning to the modern world to them. Although they were all minor matters, they enjoyed listening to her story.
The conversation lasted until dark, perhaps because she was afraid that Ruohua would suddenly leave. Ruohua stayed by her side to sleep that night, and they continued to talk together on the second and third days.
On the fourth day, when they sat together talking, they felt pain in their bodies and their souls being torn apart. Fortunately, everyone was there. "I'm leaving now. Take care of yourselves."
"This time I may really never come back, so don't think about me coming back. Just live your lives well."
Everyone nodded, and Yan Zhen said, "Grandma, please take good care of yourself and don't get hurt again."
"Yanzhen is right, Mother. Don't get hurt anymore. Live well over there and don't worry about us. I'm so proud to be your son. Thank you!"
"Okay, I'll be fine, and so will you." After saying that, her soul was pulled and then fell heavily. She opened her eyes and saw Hua Hua and Yu Bai looking anxious.
"Finally back! I thought I'd never see you again. Hua Hua, can't you stop pinching your waist? It hurts so much!"
Lifting up the clothes, the waist was immediately turned blue, even tinged with purple; how heavy-handed must that have been?
Xia Hua showed no remorse whatsoever, and instead said matter-of-factly, "I won't press the key point. You can come back, and Yu Bai is reluctant to press the key point, so I'll have to take your place."
"At first, I felt like I was pulling your soul back, but then suddenly it wouldn't come back, so I had to use more force." When she was pinching, she felt her soul being pulled back, but then suddenly it would come back, so she had to use more force.
Perhaps because the pain was so intense, and because Shushu had guessed that this was the way to return, the soul was able to return without resistance; otherwise, she would have had to be pinched.
