“Ah! Princess Consort!” A guard recognized Yu Wan. This guard bowed to Yu Wan. When the others heard him call her Princess Consort, they also turned around and bowed respectfully.
“Rise,” Yu Wan said.
“Thank you, Princess Consort!” They agreed in unison.
Then, the guards saw the little boy held by Yu Wan. The child was about seven or eight years old, and his eyebrows were a little similar to the Princess Consort. His facial features were exquisite, and his eyebrows were cold. He was very obedient as he stood beside the Princess Consort, and the way he looked at the Princess Consort was also very cute. However, when the other party looked at them, his gaze was not so gentle.
Even Yu Wan didn’t notice that Little Bruiser’s gaze had changed. He was no longer the silly boy who was running around the hill. The calmness between his eyebrows made people feel that he was a little inhospitable.
Only in Lotus Flower Village, only in front of his family, was Little Bruiser himself. And when he arrived at the palace, he was the Helian Ting who could not embarrass his sister, father, and mother!
“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and greet the Commandery Prince of
Nanzhao,” Eunuch Qin said arrogantly as he alighted from another carriage.
That’s right, they had long heard about the Princess Consort’s background. She was not a village girl from Lotus Flower Village, but the Commandery Princess of Nanzhao. She also had a younger brother from the same mother. So the little boy in front of them was her younger brother. No wonder they looked a little similar.
Everyone quickly bowed to Little Bruiser.
Little Bruiser looked up at Yu Wan. His eyes became as clear as spring water again. Yu Wan nodded at him encouragingly.
Little Bruiser grabbed his sister’s hand tightly and looked at the guards in front of him. He said neither servile nor overbearing, “Rise.”
It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous. After all, no one had bowed to him. However, it was not to the extent that he was too nervous. He was more concerned about his performance and whether his sister was satisfied.
“Ting’er did very well.” Yu Wan smiled and patted his little head.
Of course, she wouldn’t call him Little Bruiser in front of outsiders. Thinking of how the Matriarch still called her grandfather, Yu Wan couldn’t help but think that a few years later, when her brother would become famous, there were people who said—”Bruiser! You’re finally back—I‘
That scene… was really too beautiful to look at.
On the way to the Fengshai Palace, Little Bruiser talked about naming the baby. “Sis, is it a younger brother or sister?”
Yu Wan said, “She’s not a younger brother or sister.”
“Ah!” What kind of monster was that?! Little Bruiser was dumbfounded!
Yu Wan tapped his forehead. “It’s your nephew or niece!”
He was already so old, why couldn’t he differentiate between seniority?
“Oh,” Little Bruiser said calmly. He asked, “If he’s my nephew, can I call him Dog Egg?”
Yu Wan:
Yan Xiaosi : “…”
When Yu Wan arrived at the Fengshai Palace, she realized that Han Jingshu had also come. It turned out that the Empress had not only summoned her today, but also Han Jingshu.
Han Jingshu was Worthy Consort Xu’s daughter-in-law. The Empress had worked hard to maintain her image as a virtuous and magnanimous mother.
Han Jingshu was wearing the crown princess consort’s court dress, and Yu Wan was wearing the court dress of the regent consort. In terms of rank, the two of them were both first-grade consorts, but in terms of power and status, the crown prince who was controlled was far inferior to the regent who held real power.
Han Jingshu also saw Yu Wan and Little Bruiser. No one told her that Yu Wan would enter the palace today, nor did anyone tell her who the little boy beside Yu Wan was. However, she was smarter than the guards guarding the door and guessed the other party’s identity after thinking for a while.
Han Jingshu walked forward and bowed slightly to Yu Wan. “Princess Consort.”
Yu Wan’s current status was slightly inferior to the Empress. Other than the Empress, anyone who saw her had to bow.
Yu Wan did not put on airs and accepted her bow openly. Then, she introduced her, “This is my younger brother, Helian Ting. Ting’er, this is the Crown Princess Consort.”
“Greetings, Crown Princess Consort.” Little Bruiser cupped his hands and bowed.
Han Jingshu nodded slightly and said politely, “So it’s the Commandery Prince of Nanzhao. Nice to meet you.”
Yu Wan thought to herself that the people in the officialdom knew how to put on a show. How could they have a nice meeting with Han Jingshu? Han Jingshu’s husband had been pestering her several times. Not long ago, he had even played tricks to sow discord between her and Yan Jiuchao. How deep was Han Jingshu’s understanding to think that she was happy to see her?
However, this time, Yu Wan might have really misunderstood Han Jingshu because the way Han Jingshu looked at Yu Wan was indeed filled with kindness..
