Because Susu herself would also, after getting tired and eating her fill, she would no longer feel tired.

Feng Qingyan certainly wouldn’t show a displeased face to a child, but since she wasn’t happy inside, she could only force a smile.

The horse carriage traveled at a steady pace.

Feng Qingyan raised her head to look at Jun Moqing and saw him holding Susu. She couldn’t help but ask, "Are you really her grandfather?"

Jun Moqing said, "Why would I lie to you?"

Feng Qingyan didn’t care whether it was true or not. What she cared about was leaving this place.

"I can go back with you for dinner, but after dinner, you must let me leave."

Jun Moqing thought for a while and then nodded in agreement.

"Alright, but you have to let me know where you live."

For the chance to leave, Feng Qingyan nodded in agreement, "Fine."

She didn’t often stay here anyway. Once she finished what she needed to do, she could race away from this place on horseback, and then Jun Moqing wouldn’t be able to find her.

Inside the East Palace,

After waking up from her afternoon nap, Feng Wuyou began to arrange Chun Xi’s dowry. She wasn’t clear about the customs of ancient dowries, so she had to ask Xiao Jinyan to find out.

Xiao Jinyan was considerate and had someone check before making a list for her.

Chun Xi was the head Palace Maid at Xiao Jinyan’s side and was also in charge of managing Hehuan Hall. Naturally, her dowry had to be generous.

After writing the list, he put down his pen and showed it to Xiao Jinyan.

"This should be enough."

Feng Wuyou picked up the list and glanced at it a few times, counted the items, and then turned to look at Xiao Jinyan, "Aren’t these a bit too few?"

Xiao Jinyan thought for a moment and said, "You can add some more jewelry and such."

Feng Wuyou said, "I’ll go to the storage room later to pick some out. It can’t be too shabby."

Xiao Jinyan glanced at the list. For a Palace Maid’s marriage, these dowry items were already considered quite generous.

When it was nearing dinner time, Feng Wuyou had finished selecting jewelry and found out that her father and Susu had not yet returned. "Why are they coming back so late today?"

Taotao ran over, grabbed Feng Wuyou’s hand, and asked, "Mommy, where did Grandpa and little sister go?"

Feng Wuyou said, "They went to the streets and should be back soon."

Taotao immediately felt regretful. "Next time, I also want to go out of the palace and play with Grandpa."

Feng Wuyou encouraged, "Of course, you can. There’s no need to stay in the Study Room all day. At your age, you should play to your heart’s content."

Encouraging her son to play more and study less was probably her exclusive practice?

Taotao nodded his head but thought that he needed to learn martial arts, and Grandpa said learning martial arts would be tough.

"I still need to learn martial arts. I want to be as powerful as Grandpa."

Feng Wuyou pinched her son’s little face, laughing, "With Taotao being so smart and agile, you will definitely be as powerful as Grandpa, and as intelligent and wise as your father. After all, with such strong genes, there’s nothing to fear."

Taotao clenched his little hands into fists, "I’ll work hard."

Feng Wuyou looked at him full of affection, "As long as Taotao is happy, that’s all that matters."

From the time Taotao and Susu were born to now, Feng Wuyou had never spoken a harsh word to them, let alone lost her temper.

No matter if the two little ones cried or made noise, or were mischievous and caused trouble, she always had a smile on her face, spoiling them immensely.

The two little ones were not afraid of Feng Wuyou but were somewhat wary of Xiao Jinyan.

Therefore, Taotao and Susu had more courage than anyone. Even when they did something wrong, they wouldn’t lie but had the bravery to admit their faults.

Feng Wuyou, holding Taotao’s hand, walked out of Hehuan Hall and from a distance spotted a horse carriage approaching, driven by Xue Huai.

Taotao raised his head and asked, "Is Grandpa coming back?"

Feng Wuyou nodded, "Yes, your Grandpa is coming back."

Taotao, upon hearing this, let go of Feng Wuyou’s hand and ran towards the horse carriage.

Xue Huai saw him and immediately stopped the carriage.

Inside the horse carriage,

Susu saw the familiar foliage and trees, pulled down the curtain, and happily walked up to Jun Moqing, "Grandpa, we’re home."

Jun Moqing hugged Susu into his arms, "Yes, we’ll get off the carriage."

As he was speaking, he embraced Susu and stepped out of the carriage.

Feng Qingyan followed them out. It wasn’t her first time at the Imperial Palace; last time, she’d even passed by the East Palace, but she hadn’t expected to arrive here today.

She waited until Jun Moqing got off the horse carriage before she neatly stepped down as well.

Taotao saw this and ran over with his little short legs, "Grandpa."

Feng Qingyan heard him and turned to see a boy who looked exactly like Susu running swiftly towards them.

So the grandson he mentioned, and Susu were boy and girl twins? Quite rare.

Taotao threw himself into Jun Moqing’s embrace and noticed a woman standing next to Grandpa, who looked very much like Mommy.

He’d heard from Susu before about a woman who resembled Mommy a lot, and she was their grandmother.

He let go of Jun Moqing and came in front of Feng Qingyan, lifting his little head, his Phoenix eyes, so much like Xiao Jinyan’s, not blinking as he stared at Feng Qingyan.

"Are you Grandma?"
