Princess Zhen Guo fell into thought for a moment, "I shall speak of this matter myself, after many years, I’ve not asked the Emperor for anything!"
When the previous Emperor was alive, there was no need for her to ask for anything. He genuinely respected and prioritized his imperial sister in all matters.
As for the current Emperor...
It’s best left unsaid.
Princess Zhen Guo shook her head, thinking of her beloved son’s return today, healthy and safe, which was a matter of great joy, "Issue a command that all servants in the residence be rewarded with three months’ allowance and new clothes made for each one!"
"Grandmother, what about me?" Yuwen Ya asked with a grin.
Princess Zhen Guo smiled, "You too are a great hero, tell me, what would you like?"
"Hehe, Grandmother, then I shall really make a request!"
"I allow you to make a grand request!"
As Princess Zhen Guo finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.
Yuwen Ya thought for a moment, "Then, may your grandson decide on his own marriage matters?"
Princess Zhen Guo paused.
Considering that Yuwen Ya was not the eldest legitimate son of the main branch, and had significant responsibilities, she laughed, "This I grant you. Even if you were to bring home a beggar, we would accept her. But there is one condition, her family must have a clean background. None from a dubious origin, I won’t acknowledge such!"
"A farmer’s daughter, a peddler, or a foot soldier would do?"
"Yes, as long as she’s not from a place of ill repute, whoever you like is fine!"
Yuwen Ya was overjoyed and hugged Princess Zhen Guo’s arm, "Grandmother is the best!"
"Such a grown person, and still acting spoiled!"
The teasing was there, yet so was the barely concealed doting.
All the children were her treasures, despite the levels of affection, they were all dearly loved.
With Prince Yanjun’s safe return, the whole family was overjoyed.
The thank-you gift for Yun Jinnian was already prepared, a large residence with five courtyards abutting a mountain, just including that mountain along with the property was enough.
Princess Jinfeng learned of Chu Yu’s return and was also overjoyed, pulling Chu Yu to look at him over and over again, "You’ve grown taller, and darker, and sturdier!"
"You’ve had a good look? Off you go now!" Chu Yu said disdainfully, striding toward the main courtyard.
Princess Jinfeng followed behind, "Brother, Jinnian has returned, hasn’t he? When can I invite him over to play?"
"Whenever it pleases you!"
"Hehe, then I shall invite her over tomorrow!"
"Not tomorrow, she is tired from the journey. She needs to rest at least until after the Mid-Autumn Festival!"
Princess Jinfeng pouted.
Saying anytime was fine, but even before marrying her, he was already so concerned. Once she was married in...
Nurse Qian and the others escorted Yun Jinnian to the front gate, watching as Yun Jinnian, along with Hemei, Henuan, and Shi Jiayu, disembarked from the carriage.
The gate-keeping page was momentarily stunned before realizing who it was, "This servant pays respects to Fourth Miss!"
Yun Jinnian nodded slightly.
She took fewer belongings with her when she left, and didn’t bring back much either, just three bundles and a medicine chest.
As for valuable items, she had Han Tianci take them back to the Han Family.
After seeing Yun Jinnian enter the gates of the Yun Residence, Nurse Qian and the others drove the carriage back to the palace to report.
Although the mission was deemed successful, Yun Jinnian’s disappearance for several months in Nanjiang was still troublesome to report.
Regarding the matters between Yun Jinnian and Chu Yu, Nurse Qian decided to tell the truth.
Such affairs could not be concealed anyway.
Yun Jinnian entered the Yun Residence, and Shi Jiayu couldn’t help but exclaim, "It’s truly opulent, far superior to any place I’ve seen before!"
"If you like it, you can stay for a few more days!" Yun Jinnian said indifferently, without any additional emotion.
"Hehe, wherever Miss is, that’s where I’ll be!" Jiayu said, laughing cheerfully.
No matter how nice it was, she wouldn’t want to stay without her Miss. In any case, she was determined to follow her Miss for life.
