New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies

After leaving the Queen, Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei went straight to Chengqian Palace to say goodbye to their mother Yuhe, and also wanted to stay with their mother in Chengqian Palace.

Little did they know that because they got up too early, the Empress Dowager was unable to catch up on her sleep. As a result, after they left, the Empress Dowager went straight to the courtyard of their poor brother Yongqi, and just happened to catch Yongqi who was secretly sleeping in.

So, without the two knowing, they accidentally pitted their brother, causing Yongqi to suffer the wrath of his mother and be punished by squatting in horse stance, under the pretext of learning from his sister Xiaoyanzi how to exercise...

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei had no idea how miserable the seven-year-old Yongqi was. They had already arrived at Chengqian Palace and lay down in their original courtyard to take a nap.

When Xia Yuhe woke up, the two girls came back to catch up on their sleep. She couldn't help but smile dotingly. When she learned that they had just returned from the Queen, she knew that the two girls probably had something to say.

The children had been in Shufangzhai for a few days, and Chengqian Palace was empty, which made her quite uncomfortable. Now that the children were back, she naturally didn't want to wake them up, so she asked the palace servants to be gentle and not wake them up.

They also quietly arranged a small kitchen and asked them to cook some of Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei's favorite meals, waiting for them to wake up so that they could eat their favorite meals.

At noon, when Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei woke up from their familiar beds, they were still a little confused. Looking at the familiar bed curtains and the familiar room, they remembered that they had returned to Chengqian Palace, the home where they had lived for almost ten years.

The voices of Jinsuo and Hongdou were heard at the door, calling the two to have lunch.

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei quickly washed and changed their clothes and went to the dining hall.

Seeing their mother sitting in the main seat as usual, looking at them with gentle eyes, and the table filled with their favorite dishes, the familiar, spontaneous feeling of being home made Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei feel a little inexplicably sour in their hearts.

"Without you here these days, Chengqian Palace has become much quieter."

Xia Yuhe sighed softly while picking up food for her two daughters.

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei looked at each other. Seeing that their mother seemed no longer young, they felt a little sad and felt that their next words would make their mother even more uncomfortable.

Even though they were in the palace, they were still in the habit of calling her mother. They didn't want to see her sad and reluctant expression when she learned that they would be leaving the palace and out of her sight in the next two years.

"Eat? Why are you looking at me?"

Xia Yuhe picked up some food for them, but was a little confused when she saw that they didn't eat.

Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi looked at each other, thought about it, and decided to talk about it after dinner so as not to affect their mother's good mood.

So the two of them smiled and said, "Because you are getting prettier now, mother, we can't help but feel happy when we see you."

Hearing the two girls' teasing, Xia Yuhe's pretty face suddenly turned red, and she couldn't help but scolded, "You two girls, how come your mouths have become so sweet after being away for a few days? Come on, eat, come on."

Even though she expressed disgust, the corners of her lips couldn't help but rise. Her eyes seemed to be filled with stars, shining brightly and looking very beautiful.

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei were indeed dazzled. Yuhe's mother possessed the classical charm of a Jiangnan woman. She had a slender figure and a peerless beauty. Even after ten years, she had not changed much. Instead, she had gained a touch of maturity.

Perhaps because she was protected too well by the Emperor and the others, Yuhe's mother's eyes have always been like stars in the sea, bright and gentle.

Perhaps it was because Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei had returned that Chengqian Palace became as warm and cheerful as before, which also made Xia Yuhe in a good mood and she even ate more at lunch.

After dinner, the two went to the living room and sat down to chat.

Xia Yuhe knew that the two children must have something to tell her. In the past two days, she listened to the palace servants' reports that the two children first went to the Qianqing Palace, then to the Yanxi Palace, and today they went to the Jingren Palace.

If I were to greet them, I wouldn't do it in the afternoon. I guess I had other things to do.

"Come on, what do you want to tell me? I saw you two hesitated many times at the dinner table. If you have anything to say, can't you just speak directly to your mother?"

Xia Yuhe picked up the teacup and took a sip. She believed that no news would make her lose her composure.

did not expect......

"Mother, the Emperor has promised us to venture into the martial arts world. We will set out the day after tomorrow morning. The Emperor said that we should hide our identities and go to the martial arts world to gain experience for two years, so that we can venture into the martial arts world and experience different cultural landscapes."

"Pfft, what did you say???"
