Taotao called out in a milky voice, "Grandpa."

Jun Moqing looked at Taotao, who was the spitting image of Susu; it was no wonder they were boy and girl twins. He squatted down with Susu in his arms and embraced Taotao, immediately feeling the weight lighten in his arms.

Taotao was lighter than Susu.

Although Jun Moqing often lamented that his daughter had married too early, having grandchildren was still a very happy thing.

Watching this scene unfold, Chu Lingfeng felt nothing but envy, because these were all things he didn’t have.

As soon as Xiao Jinyu learned that the Crown Prince and Crown Princess had returned, he immediately rushed to the East Palace.

When he stepped into the Study Room and saw a room full of people, he was momentarily taken aback.

"Crown Prince Brother, Sister-in-law, you are finally back," he said.

Xiao Jinyu strode forward and approached Xiao Jinyan.

Xiao Jinyan thought back to before his memory loss, in the Military Camp, and realized his younger brother had indeed grown up and was capable of standing on his own. Actually, Jinyu was just too well-protected; he was very smart and highly capable.

"You’ve really impressed your brother this time."

Jinyu felt a bit embarrassed, "Crown Prince Brother, it’s the first time you’ve ever praised me like this."

Jinyan replied, "In the past you did nothing worthwhile, just a playboy all day long; how could the palace praise you? To praise how well you played the role of a spoiled young master so you could continue in that role?"

Jinyu responded, "With Crown Prince Brother in the palace, it’s quite nice to be a carefree prince. But if Crown Prince Brother were in trouble, as a brother, I naturally wouldn’t just watch and do nothing."

Jinyan was very gratified, "The palace has always known that."

That was why he returned from Nanzhao Country; his relationship with his brother had always been good, and that was the reason.

His brother would not be afraid that he would come back and take away the Crown Prince’s position.

Nor would he use schemes against his own biological brother because of the position of Crown Prince.

He felt the same.

If he didn’t know his brother had no interest in the position of Crown Prince, he wouldn’t have fought so hard to compete for it either.

Ye Suhuan observed Xiao Jinyan and Xiao Jinyu, thinking that the most precious thing in the Royal Family was brotherly affection, which Xiao Jinyan had, but he did not.

Lady had always wanted to leave the palace because the Crown Prince and Crown Princess kept coming back, so she had delayed it until now.

Upon hearing the news of the Crown Princess’s return, she couldn’t wait to go to Hehuan Hall.

Seeing the Crown Princess, she excitedly tip-toed over, "Crown Princess, you’re finally back."

Feng Wuyou assessed Lady up and down. She used to be a woman with curves, and now she was almost bony.

"Lady, you’ve lost a lot of weight," she remarked.

Lady had never intended to diet, so the sudden weight loss surprised her as well.

"Without the Crown Princess, I had nowhere to freeload meals, and I couldn’t come often, afraid of being misunderstood," she said.

Ever since Lady had been caught by the Empress once, she had been very cautious. When she was still a Maid of the Crown Prince, she would try to visit as little as possible to avoid causing trouble for Song Qing.

Feng Wuyou asked curiously, "How is the progress between you and Top Scholar Song?"

Lady shook her head helplessly, "There hasn’t been much progress. Now that the Crown Princess is back, I plan to leave the palace, and we’ll see after that."

Feng Wuyou nodded in agreement, continuing to stay in the palace was just wasting her youth.

"Alright, Xun Qingqing is getting married at the end of the year; you should hurry up too."

Lady was somewhat surprised, "Xun Qingqing is getting married? With whom?"

Feng Wuyou said, "With my brother, Jun Wuxian."

Lady looked puzzled, "How did your brother become Jun Wuxian?"

Feng Wuyou briefly explained the situation.

"So, Xun Qingqing will be my sister-in-law in the future."

Lady exclaimed, "That’s amazing."

"I feel the same," Feng Wuyou thought this trip out of the palace was quite fruitful.

"I’ll go find Xun Qingqing when I leave the palace and take a look at her fiancé on the way."

"Of course, my brother is very handsome," Feng Wuyou assured.

Meanwhile, in the courtyard, Jun Moqing released the beast.

Dabai thought it was the largest in the palace, only to encounter a beast more than twice its size, which left it somewhat panicked.

Susu inherited Feng Wuyou’s genes and was braver than the average child. Upon seeing the great beast suddenly appear, she curiously approached and touched its thick thigh.

The beast, trapped in Space, felt like it had been on a long bus ride and was still a bit groggy.

Upon seeing Susu, its eyes widened in disbelief, and it slowly lay down on the ground, staring unblinkingly at Susu with its large eyes.

Susu’s scent reminded it of Xiao Jiu, and since she looked a lot like Xiao Jiu, the beast was not averse to her touch.

Excited, Susu looked up at Jun Moqing, "Grandpa, Huhu is so big."

Upon hearing this, the beast grew excited; it was also being called Huhu.

Xiao Jinyu looked at Jun Moqing and asked Ye Suhuan, who was beside him, "Who is he?"

At this point, Xiao Jinyu was not yet aware that the man was Xiao Jinyan’s rival.

Ye Suhuan did not initially want to engage with Xiao Jinyu but noticed that he was somewhat different from Xiao Jinyan, so he lazily responded.

"He’s Xiao Jiu’s father, the National Master of Nanzhao Country."
