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

Chapter 357 Reminiscing about the past

All of a sudden, the children's marriages had been discussed. Seeing their children so close, the elders were filled with joy and couldn't wait to reminisce with their children.

The emperor waved his sleeves and said majestically: "Forget it, today's matter has been decided. You all may leave first!" When everyone heard this, they bowed and took their leave.

First, Fulun smiled and called the brothers Erkang and Ertai over, and they left slowly together; then, Lang Shining also turned around and left with Benjamin. However, Benjamin, who was thoughtful, knew that his fiancée and future father-in-law were not from the palace, and that living here for a long time might cause many inconveniences. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he decisively decided to escort An Qingchen and his daughter out of the palace with his master.

On this side, Concubine Yu and Yongqi, mother and son, walked away together; on the other side, Mu Chenke led Mu Yunzhi and slowly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Not long after, the room, which was bustling with people just a moment ago, was suddenly filled with only the emperor, the empress, the old Buddha, Concubine Ling, Xia Yuhe, Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei and Yongqi.

At this moment, the emperor and others hurriedly pulled Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei to their side and asked about their well-being. As for the fact that Xiaoyanzi had become the leader of the martial arts world, everyone in the room had already heard about it. Now seeing Xiaoyanzi's mature but still playful and cute appearance, Xia Yuhe and others especially felt an indescribable pity in their hearts.

Ziwei's face, which was originally as tender as a petal, was now flashing with a hint of determination, which was very different from the delicate impression she had given people before. Instead, it made people feel that she was filled with an invisible sense of power.

Everyone sat together, telling each other about every little thing that had happened since they separated. Little Swallow, like a chirping bird, excitedly told about the strange and incredible things they had encountered while wandering around. Ziwei, on the other hand, would occasionally interject a few words, making the stories even more vivid and fascinating.

As everyone was chatting and laughing, time passed by quickly. Before they knew it, the sun was setting and a colorful sunset glow appeared in the sky, like a beautiful painting. At this time, someone suddenly realized that it was time to enjoy dinner.

The Empress Dowager, who had been sitting in the first seat and listening quietly to everyone's conversation, broke the silence first and said with a smile: "Let's stay in Jingren Palace and have dinner together today." Hearing this, Madam Rong did not dare to delay and hurriedly ordered the palace maids around her to go to the imperial kitchen quickly and ask them to prepare more exquisite and delicious dishes.

In the spacious and bright dining room, a long mahogany table lies like a winding dragon. The table is filled with a variety of exquisite dishes, which are dazzling and dazzling. These delicacies are not only unique in shape and bright in color, but also exude tempting aromas, like invisible hooks, which make people salivate.

The old Buddha sat steadily at the first seat, and his gorgeous clothes made him look more elegant and noble. At the first seat of the long table opposite him sat the current emperor, who was dignified and showed the demeanor of an emperor in his every move.

At the left of the old Buddha, the dignified and beautiful queen was smiling and talking to everyone; next to the queen sat the gentle and lovely Concubine Ling and the smart and clever Yongqi. Opposite the old Buddha sat the elegant Xia Yuhe, the lively and playful Xiaoyanzi and the gentle and graceful Ziwei.

At this moment, everyone sat together and happily enjoyed the sumptuous meal. During the meal, everyone exchanged a few words from time to time, and the topics mostly revolved around the children's interesting experiences outside the palace. Laughter and joy rose and fell, and the whole dining hall was filled with a warm and lively atmosphere.

The old lady looked at Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei lovingly, and felt distressed when she saw that the two children's originally round faces had become a little thin. She quickly signaled to the palace maids beside her to quickly serve more delicious dishes to the two princesses.

"Come on, good children, eat more! Look at how thin you have become after running around outside for so long! You must nourish your bodies well!" As the old lady spoke, she picked up the chopsticks herself and filled Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei's bowls with all kinds of delicacies.

The emperor and Xia Yuhe kept putting food into the children's bowls, muttering, "Eat more, children!" Their loving eyes never left their precious daughters.

Xiaoyanzi raised her head and looked at the kind and amiable Emperor Father, Empress Dowager, her own mother and the Empress Dowager, her heart was filled with joy. She saw that everyone's face was filled with gentle and caring smiles. It was a wonderful feeling to be loved by everyone. She smiled at Ziwei beside her, and both of them showed unconcealable joy in their eyes.

"Okay, I will eat my fill and grow fat!" Little Swallow responded happily. As she spoke, she began to stuff food into her mouth. Because she ate too eagerly, the food in her mouth was a little hard to chew, but she still mumbled incoherently, and her appearance was really cute, causing everyone present to laugh heartily.

Watching the children grow from small figures to graceful young ladies, time seems to have passed in the blink of an eye. It makes people sigh that time flies, and at the same time deeply realize the preciousness of the moment of reunion. Perhaps it is because of the long separation that the reunion at this moment seems so precious.

At this moment, the old Buddha is no longer the dignified and solemn palace elder, and the emperor is no longer the high and mighty king of a country. They are just like the kind grandmother and loving father in ordinary families, caring for the children. The red tape and rules and etiquette that they strictly abide by on weekdays are all thrown out of their minds at this moment. The only thing they think about is how to give these beloved children more love and care.

Ziwei sat quietly, leaning gracefully beside her mother. Her mother smiled, her eyes full of love and care, and she kept putting all kinds of delicious dishes into Ziwei's bowl with her chopsticks. Every time she put food in her bowl, her mother would ask Ziwei in a soft voice whether she liked the dishes and told her to eat more to supplement her nutrition.

Ziwei felt her mother's meticulous care and love, and a warm current surged in her heart, and her whole body became extremely soft.

Thinking of the days when they were wandering outside, she couldn't help but feel deeply moved. In the past few years, they have been traveling around, relying on their extraordinary martial arts and intelligence to help the weak and uphold justice. During this period, she also encountered countless hardships and obstacles, and even fought life-and-death battles with those vicious rebels and cunning and cruel Japanese pirates.

After going through all kinds of hardships, Ziwei not only improved her martial arts, but also became more mature and stable. However, she was already exhausted physically and mentally due to being in a state of high tension for a long time.

Fortunately, now she is finally able to return home and embrace her family. At this moment, all the pressure and worries seem to disappear in an instant, replaced by an unprecedented sense of relaxation and pleasure. This feeling makes Ziwei intoxicated and unable to extricate herself.

As night fell, the moon was high in the sky, and the water-like moonlight fell on the earth. On a summer night, the breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness. The dining hall in Jingren Palace was brightly lit and lively. The family sat together, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious and warm. The laughter rose and fell, echoing throughout the palace, until the moon rose to the zenith, and this joyful party gradually came to an end, and everyone reluctantly dispersed.
