Song Yuli and Nangong Yu waited in the shade for a while, and then they saw a white girl wearing a blue and white dress with her hair tied up high running over.
"You must be Mr. Nangong Yu and Ms. Song Yuli."
Surprisingly, the girl's Mandarin was very fluent.
Nangong Yu nodded: "We are."
The white girl, breathing softly, stood respectfully to the side, gesturing for the two to leave.
"I was sent by the Empress Dowager to welcome you. Please follow me."
...
Along the way, the white girl was not in a hurry. She would stop at each place they passed and explain things to them.
Half an hour later, the white girl led Nangong Yu and Song Yuli to a castle in the center of the palace.
The white girl pushed open the heavy door and led Nangong Yu and Song Yuli inside.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Nan and Miss Song have arrived."
As soon as she finished speaking, an elderly woman with silver hair turned around from the window.
The moment Song Yuli saw her, he felt that she was indeed worthy of being Nan Yizhong's sister. The two not only looked somewhat alike, but even their overall demeanor was similar.
Upon seeing Nangong Yu and Song Yuli, Nan Fangying's somewhat cloudy eyes immediately brightened: "Ayu and Ayu's wife are here."
Nangong Yu never treats his own family members coldly.
So, he took Song Yuli's hand and, with a smile on his face, went to Nan Fangying's side again: "Grandma."
"Hey, hey."
For someone who doesn't know how long they have left to live, what could be more joyful than seeing their loved ones far away in China?
Nan Fangying's eyes gradually blurred: "The last time I saw you, you were just a seven or eight-year-old child. Now, you're about to become a father."
Nangong Yu smiled and pushed Song Yuli, who was beside him, forward: "Grandma, this is Song Yuli, your granddaughter-in-law."
Nan Fangying wiped her eyes: "Yes, I know, your grandfather told me."
Song Yuli pursed her lips, her body tense, and she tried her best to soften her voice: "Grandma."
Nan Fangying looked Song Yuli up and down, but didn't show any excessive closeness to her. She just smiled and nodded, "Hmm, Ayu has good taste. She's a good one."
Song Yuli smiled politely but didn't say anything.
Nan Fangying didn't mind Song Yuli's quietness. She looked at Nangong Yu and said, "Yu, are you planning to stay in Diaz for a few days this time?"
Without hesitation, Nangong Yu replied, "After we register our marriage, I will take her around Diaz for about three or four days."
Upon hearing this, Nan Fangying subconsciously frowned: "Three or four days is too short."
Nangong Yu said helplessly, "Grandma, I still have to work in China, so I can't stay here for too long."
Nan Fangying frowned, still somewhat unwilling.
Nangong Yu also pursed his thin lips and remained silent.
Neither of them was willing to give in.
Song Yuli, who was ignored by them, became even quieter.
After a long pause, Nan Fangying relented: "On Saturday, there will be an engagement ball at the palace for the king's son, who is also your cousin. You should at least attend the ball before you leave."
Nangong Yu knew this was probably her bare minimum, so he had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Upon seeing this, Nan Fangying beamed with joy: "You can stay in the palace for the next few days."
Nangong Yu shook his head and refused: "No need, I've already booked a hotel, so there's no need to trouble you, Grandma. It would be too much trouble for you."
