On the day of the Spring Festival, all the shops were closed from the entrance of the Prime Minister's Residence to the main street of the palace. The idle people avoided them all while guards stood by the side of the road.
From the beginning of the morning, Lian Yan Qing had led the mansion's brothers and nephews to welcome them outside the True Sun Sect while his mother and her family waited outside the gates of the mansion.
All of them were wearing apparel, and no one dared to make a sound in this quiet place.
All the way from Chen to Shen, a group of imperial bodyguards had suddenly arrived on horseback and stood at both sides of the gate to Zhengyang Street. Dozens of eunuchs and palace maids had rushed over and stood at both sides of the gate.
After a while, they finally saw a golden palanquin.
Yes, ma'am." The crowd quickly knelt down to greet her, and when the mama Wan bowed and lifted the curtain with a jade pole, a dignified woman appeared in their eyes. She wore a phoenix coronet, embroidered with golden clouds and phoenix inscriptions, had a lush green pearl on a peach blossom, and was adorned with a pearl bird of paradise on her crown. A pair of golden phoenixes hung on either side of her crown. Ming Zhu had fainted, the jade was glowing, and even Shufei was a top beauty.
The young girl she was holding was snow-white, with a pair of almond eyes that were filled with intelligence. She was dressed in a red embroidery pink and blue peach collar gown, a lotus root veil dress, and a chignon. She wore a long lock on her chest.
In comparison to Princess Eleven and Feng Lingyue, she was quiet and obedient, and her degree of being spoiled in front of the Emperor far surpassed that of Princess Eleven and Feng Lingyue. Unlike Princess and Feng Lingyue, she was quiet and obedient, and her degree of being spoiled in front of the Emperor far surpassed that of Princess Eleven and Feng Lingyue.
If she was a son, she would probably be the most highly regarded one.
In his previous life, Imperial Consort Su did not have a prince, and instead had a blessing in disguise. Feng Qianyue did not settle this matter with her, and it could be said that she had a peaceful life, and when Feng Yunyao was sixteen years old, the Emperor personally arranged for her to marry the son of the Pingyang King, and the Prince of Pingyang had a peaceful and happy life. Because of this, Feng Yu was happy and content, thinking about it, the Emperor had long anticipated that the competition between princes would bring calamity upon others, so he had arranged this for Feng Yunyao.
Lian Shiya stood next to Lian Ruyue. Looking at the luxurious clothing Princess Thirteen wore, he couldn't help but feel envy in his heart. As a girl, who wouldn't want to be doted on by the world's most powerful person? She looked at Lian Meng Yue, thinking that her marriage father would also think of ways to give her the best in the future, while she, Shi Ya, was fighting for everything herself.
When Imperial Concubine Fu saw the people kneeling on the ground, she released Thirteenth Princess Feng Wu Yao's hand and quickly walked over. She personally bent down to help her mother up and said, "Madame, please rise quickly."
"Many thanks to esteemed wangfei." Even his mother stood up and looked at her niece who had grown up by her own hands. Tears welled up in her eyes; this was the first time she had returned to Ning province after being put in the palace for so many years.
She then said to Lian Yanqing, "Please rise."
"Thank you, esteemed wangfei." Lian Yan Qing stood up and bowed as he stood in one of the books.
Lian Shufei looked into the crowd and saw Ding Xing's people. She could not help but nod in satisfaction. "Everyone, please rise."
"Thank you, esteemed wangfei." The crowd then obeyed his orders and moved to the sides.
It had been many years since Consort Su had returned to the manor. She raised her head to look at the manor's plaque. The last time she had left the manor, she had also turned her head to look at it. It had been more than ten years since they parted.
"Mufei." Princess Thirteen, Feng Yu, walked over leisurely and called out in a soft voice.
"This is your mufei's home." Upon returning to the Prime Minister's Estate, Consort Su actually felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders.
"Empress, Princess, everything in the estate has been prepared. Please follow this humble subject in." Lian Yanqing said from the side.
"Come, let's go in." Madam Su extended her hand towards Feng Changyao, who placed it in her palm and pulled her hand into the mansion along with her. The rest of the servants respectfully followed behind.
Entering the mansion, they saw many buildings and courtyards along the way. It was a pleasant sight to behold, with winding paths that lead to tranquility and prosperity everywhere. As she walked, she even improvised a poem.
When they reached the Inner Mansion, Imperial Concubine Su said to Senior Servant Wan, "Senior Servant, I wish to speak with my family. You can bring the others down."
"Yes, Empress." Thus, Lian Yanqing, Lian Yanfeng, Lian Yan Tao, and the rest of the palace maids and servants who came with Imperial Concubine Su were all sent to settle down. The Residence of Prime Minister had a very high standard of welcome for Imperial Concubine Fu, even the servants had the same.
After everyone had gone down, Consort Su opened her mouth to let everyone take their seats. The First Madam, Second Madam, Third Madam, Fourth Madam, and all the other young ladies in the rooms took their seats in groups. Lian Yue sat opposite the First Madam, with Consort Su in the center, and his mother's seat beside her.
At this time, Imperial Concubine Su pulled up Thirteenth Princess' large clothes and knelt down solemnly in front of her mother. Her mother was greatly alarmed and wanted to kneel down in a flurry. The others also followed suit.
Imperial Concubine Su held her mother's hand, preventing her from kneeling down. She pulled Princess Thirteen along and kowtowed to her, saying:
Now that there are no outsiders present, they are all our own people. If it weren't for Aunt treating me as if I were her and taking care of me by her side, as well as having all kinds of masters nurture me, I definitely wouldn't have been like today. Before I entered the palace, I would have kowtowed and said my goodbyes.
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. She held Princess Thirteen's hand and kowtowed three times to her mother, as per the rules of the young generation.
"Grandmother." Feng Ziyao called out, her voice gentle and melodious, extremely pleasant to the ears.
"Good, good, good. Quickly get up. Since we are family, there is no need for you to be a stranger." His mother raised her old hands to wipe away the tears in her eyes as she hurriedly helped Imperial Concubine Su and Princess Thirteen to their feet.
This Shuangfei had kowtowed to her mother in front of everyone. She had truly given them a huge amount of face, but she had also shown more and more about being her mother … "Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu!
"There's no need to be so reserved. There's no outsider here right now, so we can speak as we please. Before I went back to my parents' home, I told the emperor that I wanted to reminisce about old times with my family." Imperial Concubine Su said as she sat down. In front of these women, she no longer called herself Consort and appeared much closer to them.
