As for the others, Yun Muyou really looked down upon them.
Mrs. He and the second Wang madam were chatting cordially, inevitably discussing their children’s marriage prospects. Both were interested, quickly understanding each other’s intentions, and Mrs. He became increasingly enthusiastic towards the second Wang madam.
Yun Zihan watched, slipped away quietly, and went to see Aunty Cui.
The procession stopped at the entrance of Capital City, and upon seeing Chu Yu, the guards hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "This one greets Your Highness Prince Rui!"
Chu Yu glanced at him indifferently and rode into the city.
After entering the city, they went their separate ways.
Prince Yanjun naturally returned to Prince Yanjun Residence, Yun Jinnian to the Yun Residence, and Chu Yu to Prince Rui Residence. Qian Momma and her group were to escort Yun Jinnian back to Yun Residence first, then return to the palace to report, while Elder Mu and Elder Tu had intended to follow Yun Jinnian back to the Yun Family. Yun Jinnian denied their company, instructing them to go with Han Tianci to the Han Family instead.
Prince Yanjun Residence
The princess had been waiting in the hall early on, with several marquesses sitting to the side, and their wives were so nervous that they hardly dared to breathe, let alone those of the younger generation.
The children were still young, and the princess did not want to frighten them, so she had the nannies take them away.
Princess Yanjun held the Buddha Beads, incessantly twirling and reciting prayers, with Song Momma standing by her side, also with a composed expression.
A voice rang out, and someone rushed in, "Your Highness, Prince Rui and his party have entered the city!"
Princess Yanjun took a deep breath, "How many carriages?"
"Go and check again..." the princess started to say but then waved her hand, "Never mind, don’t go. I will go to the gate myself and wait!"
Princess Yanjun’s stern gaze silenced the marquesses immediately, and they had no choice but to follow the princess.
To the gate to wait together.
Until two carriages came clattering along, Princess Yanjun tightly grasped Song Momma’s hand.
The carriage stopped, and Yuwen Ya alighted, standing by it, waiting for Prince Yanjun to disembark.
Watching him in white, floating down ethereally like a celestial being.
The princess’s eyes instantly reddened.
She stumbled forward a few steps, and Prince Yanjun quickly descended from the carriage and ran to Princess Yanjun, kneeling heavily, "Your son pays his respects to you, Mother. I have returned late!"
"Not late, not late, it’s good you’ve come back, it’s good you’ve come back!" Princess Yanjun said, already in tears.
She knelt down and embraced her youngest son, crying profusely.
Prince Yanjun’s eyes were also red.
At the end of his journey, it was only his mother, powerful and esteemed, who truly wished for his well-being.
The marchionesses immediately rushed to comfort her.
"Mother, our fifth brother has returned, it is a time for joy. Shall we go inside and talk?"
Upon hearing this, Prince Yanjun also hurriedly comforted her, "Mother, the sun is strong outside, let us talk inside. Your son has many things he wants to discuss with you!"
"Good, good, good, let’s go inside and talk at leisure!"
Princess Yanjun allowed Prince Yanjun to help her into the Princess Residence, not heading to the inner yard but sitting directly in the hall.
In a gentle voice, she asked, "Has the poison been cured?"
"All cured, your son is now as healthy as a normal person. Mother, please be at ease!"
"That’s good, that’s good!" Princess Yanjun said and finally broke into a smile, "Jinnian’s merits are indelible, I must reward her handsomely!"
Turning to her eldest son Marquess Zhongyi, "Is the residence you were tasked to prepare ready?"
"Replying to Mother, it has been well-prepared. However, we may need the Emperor’s consent for the mountain behind it!" Marquess Zhongyi spoke, pausing slightly.
