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

When the emperor said this, everyone else looked surprised, except for a few ministers who had already argued with the emperor and had to compromise.

Xia Shi and Gu Qingyou had never expected Yuhe to become a noble concubine to bring honor to the family. They just hoped that their daughter would have someone who understood their feelings and that she would no longer bear the label of being pregnant before marriage and being unfaithful.

Now the emperor has come to pick up Yuhe and has canonized her as Concubine He. A concubine is of the first rank, the same level as Concubine Ling and Concubine Yu. This is already a great favor.

The two of them knelt down quickly to express their gratitude.

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei were also extremely shocked, but when they heard that their mother had finally gotten what she wanted and would no longer be ridiculed by others, they were both very happy for her.

At the same time, Xiaoyanzi was also happy for her sister Ziwei, as she finally didn't have to go through so much trouble to find her father.

Just as everyone was discussing, a soft and gentle voice suddenly came from the door, "Your Majesty~"

This call makes the listener feel sad, and no one knows how much grievance and tears it contains.

For three years, she endured the pain of pregnancy alone. After giving birth, she took care of the child by herself and had to deal with the gossip of neighbors and strange looks from others. Just thinking about it makes me recall the tears and sadness that an unmarried woman who gave birth to a child has gone through over the years.

Everyone in the house looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman in a light purple dress standing at the door. The woman had a pretty face, and her delicate eyes were full of surprise, but her eyes were filled with tears, her red lips were slightly parted, and she looked like she was about to cry, which made people feel distressed.

Hongli was quite excited when he saw the woman, who was still as beautiful as a flower, whom he hadn't seen for more than three years. He quickly stood up and took a few steps towards her.

In the end, he was chased away by the two little kids.

The two little guys were so excited to see their mother coming back that they ran to her without hesitation, hugged her thighs tightly, and cried, "Mom, you're back."

Xia Yuhe ignored the hand that Hongli extended to her, and simply bent down and squatted, holding the two children in her arms. However, since it was a bit tiring to hold two at the same time, she decided to just hold one.

As a result, a big hand came over, took Ziwei from her arms, and picked her up.

"Yuhe, I haven't seen you for three years. Are you okay?"

The magnetic and hoarse voice was a little hesitant. When Xia Yuhe saw Ziwei being picked up, she reached out and held Xiaoyanzi in her arms. Listening to the familiar yet unfamiliar voice, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

"I, Xia Yuhe, pay my respects to His Majesty. May His Majesty be blessed with good health and long life."

Thinking that the person in front of her was the emperor, Xia Yuhe knelt down and saluted while holding Xiaoyanzi, but before she could complete the ceremony, the emperor reached out to help her.

"Yuhe, no need to be so polite. I have something to tell you..."

After Hongli helped her up, he looked around and saw that Xia Shi and the others had all tactfully retreated.

Give space to the young couple whom I haven't seen for a long time.

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei were held separately. They looked at each other and struggled to get out of their parents' arms. They didn't want to disturb their parents.

Ziwei was a little greedy for her father's arms, feeling very warm, but there was no need to rush, because her father took the initiative to pick them up. Now that she had a father, she would have many opportunities to be close to him in the future.

Hongli looked at the two little girls who were so tactful, a smile flashed across his eyes, and after putting Ziwei down, he rummaged through his arms and took out an exquisite jade pendant and gave it to her.

He glanced at Xiaoyanzi next to him, and seeing that the two little girls were on good terms, he didn't want to favor one over the other. After thinking for a while, he pulled out a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to her.

Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi received the gifts with smiles on their faces. They ran out of the door hand in hand and closed the door considerately.

For a while, the only people left in the living room were the young couple, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, talking.

Xia Yuhe felt a little lost when she saw the two little guys just leaving her like that, and her heart became inexplicably nervous.

Suddenly, a pair of big hands hugged her directly in their arms, "Yuhe, I'm sorry, I'm late. It's my fault that I couldn't pick you up in time and made you feel wronged."

There was a hint of guilt in the gentle voice, which made Xia Yuhe feel sad. Tears fell one by one, soaking Hongli's clothes. She couldn't help but put her arms around the man's lean and strong waist, hiding in his arms, and releasing all her grievances.

Listening to the suppressed crying in his arms, Hongli felt distressed. It is said that a gentleman's word is as good as gold, and the emperor's word is as good as gold. However, the promise he made was not fulfilled until three years later, which really caused Yuhe to suffer a lot of grievances. He was indeed wrong.

"You, why are you here just now?"

Hongli felt distressed when he heard Xia Yuhe's crying voice. He quickly reached out and patted her on the back. Helplessness was revealed on his handsome face as he thought about how to comfort her.

.........

After Xia Shi and others left the house, they sent someone to take the adults to the prepared yard to rest.

Fulun and others felt that it was still early, so they thought about walking around the mansion and taking in the scenery, or thinking about whether to go for a walk on the street later and buy some Hangzhou specialties to bring home for their wives and children.

At this time, Fulun always felt that he had forgotten something, but he couldn't remember it. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't remember it, so he shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei stood not far from the door with the jade pendants in their hands. They wanted to wait for their mother to come out so that they could greet her as soon as possible.

Gu Qingyou wanted them to leave, but the two little ones didn't want to, so he let them stay.

Outside the reception room, except for a few maids, servants and guards, almost everyone else had left. Only two little guys were chattering not far away.

"Ziwei, the emperor is here to pick you up. Are you and Mother Yuhe going to the palace? Will it take a long time for us to meet each other?"

When Xiaoyanzi thought that it would not be long before Ziwei and Yuhe would follow the Emperor back to the palace, and they would hardly meet in the future, she felt reluctant to let them go. Although she was happy for them, she felt very sad in her heart.

Listening to Xiaoyanzi's muffled voice, Ziwei's heart, which was happy and surprised that her father came to pick her and her mother up, slowly sank. She also thought that if they entered the palace, it would be difficult for them to get out.

Xiaoyanzi is still young. I can't let her leave her parents and enter the palace with me. It's not fair to her.

"I, I don't know. I can't bear to leave you. I want to stay with you, but I also want you to leave with me..."

"But it seems that we don't have the right to choose. When the emperor leaves, you will definitely follow him. By then, it will be difficult for us to meet again."

Little Swallow sighed and looked up at the sky. The sun was dazzling and scorching, but she felt a chill in her heart.

Woo woo woo, my good friend is leaving, I can’t bear to let him go.

After Fulun took a walk around the Xia Mansion, he suddenly remembered that his two silly sons had run to the Xiao Mansion to look for Xiaoyanzi, but Xiaoyanzi was in the Xia Mansion.

"Where's Little Swallow? Where's Little Swallow's sister? Where's Little Swallow's sister who's as old as me?"
