The prince took them directly to the direction of Jinluan Palace, and the children chattered all the way without stopping.
Although it was their first meeting, Jiang Jingyu often mentioned the prince as his uncle in front of the children in the past few years. The children were not at all hostile to the prince and were very close to him.
The queen who was sitting in the Jinluan Hall was sitting on pins and needles, looking out of the hall. She hadn't seen anyone coming for a long time, and finally she couldn't sit still anymore, so she stood up and walked towards the entrance of the hall.
"Shunhua, wait for me!"
The emperor stood up immediately and strode after the queen.
Although he didn't say anything, he could no longer sit still.
When the emperor chased the queen to the entrance of Jinluan Palace, he saw the prince, Jiang Jingyu and others walking towards him.
The queen's eyes suddenly turned red, and she raised her feet and walked towards Jiang Jingyu who was opposite.
The longing accumulated over the years is out of control.
"Mother."
"Ayu, my Ayu, you are finally back. My mother has finally waited for this day."
The queen hugged Jiang Jingyu and burst into tears, stroking her back over and over again. It wasn't until she felt the real body temperature that she finally believed that she was not dreaming.
Jiang Jingyu buried her face on the queen's shoulder: "Mother, Ayu said that our family will be reunited one day. You see, Ayu didn't lie to you."
The queen nodded, speechless.
Seeing that she was crying more and more fiercely, the prince hurriedly stood up to smooth things over: "Mother, if you keep crying, Xu'er and Xin'er will laugh at you when they see it."
As soon as the sound fell, several children gathered around, ran to both sides and grabbed the corners of the queen's clothes.
"Grandma!"
The child's voice sounded, and the queen hurriedly wiped away her tears. She let go of Jiang Jingyu and looked down at the children.
"Eh, eh!"
The queen held back the tears in her eyes and bent down in front of the children with a look of surprise.
"Grandma, I'm Xu'er."
"Okay, okay, Xu'er!"
"Grandma, I'm Jin'er."
"Oh, Jin'er is so good!"
"Hehehe, grandma, I am Shu'er."
"Oh, that's easy to tell!"
Before Hu Yanxin could speak, the queen put her hand on her shoulder: "Xin'er, grandma finally sees you! I've been talking about grandma all these years!"
Huyan Xin smiled with crooked eyebrows: "Xin'er talks about grandma every day!"
"Grandma, grandma, Zhuer is here!"
Afraid that the queen wouldn't be able to see her, Huyanju, who was held in the arms of the prince, fluttered her calves, opened her arms and leaned towards the queen.
"Oh, little Zhu'er, I miss my grandma so much!"
The queen took Huyanju from the prince's arms, and Huyanju kissed the queen's face.
"Zi'er misses her grandma too!"
The arrival of several children instantly made the originally deserted palace lively.
The emperor did not come forward. He stood at the entrance of Jinluan Palace with his hands behind his hands, looking at the people in front of the palace.
On the surface, he looks the same as usual, but if you look closely, you can easily see the guilt and relief in his eyes.
Compared with the joyful scene in front of him, the emperor standing alone in front of the Jinluan Palace looked a little lonely.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, but it was all his own fault.
It was because he was so incompetent that he couldn't even protect his own daughter.
Just as the emperor lowered his eyes, Hu Yanxu and others who had greeted the queen ran over.
"Grandpa!"
A flash of light flashed in the emperor's dim eyes, and he suddenly looked up at the children running towards him in front.
Are you... calling him?
"Grandpa!"
Several children ran to the emperor and stopped, grabbed the emperor's robe and acted coquettishly at him.
"Does grandpa miss us?"
Several children looked at him eagerly, their big eyes full of expectation.
Seeing the children in front of him who looked a bit like Jiang Jingyu, the emperor felt happy and nodded heavily.
"Think, grandpa thinks!"
"Hehehe, Zhu'er misses her grandfather several times every day!"
"Grandpa, grandpa, and mother said that grandpa made the best slingshots. Shu'er wants the slingshot made by grandpa!"
Hu Yanshu grabbed the emperor's robe and pestered him for the slingshot.
"Then I want a kite! My mother said that my grandfather often made all kinds of kites for my mother when she was a child, and Jin'er wants it too!"
"I want it in the shape of a bunny!"
"Then I want a big tiger!"
The emperor couldn't be happier when he heard Jiang Jingyu mentioned him in front of the children.
"Okay, okay! Whatever you want, grandpa will do it for you!"
The emperor laughed loudly in front of the children. He no longer had the majesty he had just before. At this time, he was just a kind grandfather who loved his grandson.
Jiang Jingyu and the queen walked towards the Jinluan Palace.
After seeing the smiling emperor, he snorted and said to several children: "Grandson, let's go to the palace with grandma. Grandma has a lot of things for you!"
After the queen finished speaking, she took the children away from the emperor without leaving him a single glance.
The prince looked helpless and shrugged at Jiang Jingyu.
"Brother-in-law, this is your first time coming to Dayan. This time, brother will definitely show you the scenery and delicious food of our Dayan!"
The prince patted Hu Yanji on the shoulder and called his brother-in-law smoothly.
Hu Yanji didn't care much. He walked towards the Jinluan Palace with the prince, pausing slightly as he passed in front of the emperor.
She nodded slightly towards him and called out lightly: "Father-in-law."
The emperor looked at him and was slightly startled.
Before he could react, the prince and Hu Yanji continued walking towards the Jinluan Palace.
Only Jiang Jingyu and the emperor were left where they were.
Jiang Jingyu walked over slowly, and the emperor looked at her intently.
Seeing that the daughter he had loved since childhood was now a mother, the emperor was filled with emotions for a moment.
He looked at Jiang Jingyu, his mouth slightly open. He had been holding back a lot of words in the past few years, but he didn't know what to say when he saw her.
It was him, it was he who personally ended the father-daughter relationship between them.
The emperor looked at Jiang Jingyu, his eyes slightly reddened, and his palms covered by the wide sleeves of his robe tightened slightly.
Jiang Jingyu came straight to him and smiled at him: "Father, Ayu is back."
Hearing her voice, the emperor could no longer suppress the emotions accumulated in his heart, and his voice was choked with sobs.
"Just come back, come back. Father, I can't help you."
Jiang Jingyu stepped forward and took his arm, leaning on his shoulder affectionately.
"Father, I have lived a happy life since I arrived in Mobei. The Khan dotes on me and the officials in Mobei respect me. I have not suffered at all. On the contrary, I have found someone with whom I can work together for the rest of my life."
"All of this is thanks to my father's decision, so my father, Ayu has never blamed you."
Listening to her words, the emperor's lips and teeth trembled. He closed his eyes and let his tears fall.
How could he not hear that his daughter was excusing him, asking him to let go of his worries and stop blaming himself for what happened back then.
After not hearing the emperor's response for a long time, Jiang Jingyu raised her eyes and looked at him.
"Father, I have missed you so much these years."
