Seeing Yuan Ying wake up, Wan Qiu couldn't help crying and said, "Princess, you finally woke up. We have been worried about you for these days."

Yuan Ying looked at Wanqiu's red and swollen eyes, his heart was filled with emotion, and he said softly: "Wanqiu, you have worked hard these days."

Wan Qiu burst into laughter and said, "As long as you can wake up, it will be worth it no matter how hard it is."

Murong Xuanyi glanced at Jiang Chong, who was smiling like a child, and said, "Wait until the princess recovers, then you can arrange the wedding."

Jiang Chong knelt down excitedly to express his gratitude: "Thank you very much, sir. I will work harder to repay you for your kindness."

Wanqiu stood aside, lowering her head in shame, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

Yuan Ying also smiled and said, "Jiang Chong, you must treat Wan Qiu well in the future."

Jiang Chong quickly responded, "Don't worry, Princess. I will definitely treat Wan Qiu well."

Yuxi winked at the servants in the room, and they all knelt down, their faces filled with sincere joy, and shouted in unison: "Congratulations to the princess for waking up. May the princess be in good health and live with the prince forever!"

Murong Xuanyi smiled and looked at everyone, and said loudly: "Today everyone is celebrating together, please stand up, I will give everyone a reward."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Everyone smiled happily, their voices filled with irrepressible excitement, and they responded in unison.

When Su Meiniang heard that Yuan Ying had woken up, she led two nurses and hurried over with half-year-old Panpan and Qiqi in her arms. Along the way, Panpan and Qiqi opened their big round eyes, and seemed to have sensed this unusual atmosphere, and were unusually quiet, without crying or making a fuss.

As soon as Su Meiniang entered the room and saw Yuan Ying really sitting there, her eyes instantly turned red. She hurried forward and said with a sob, "Xiaoying, my child, you are finally awake."

Yuan Ying looked at Su Meiniang and stretched out her hand to pull her over, saying, "I'm sorry to have worried you, Master."

The two children were babbling beside them, as if they were also expressing their joy of reunion with the adults.

The nurse smiled and said, "Princess, look at these two little darlings. They are usually very naughty, but today they are very well-behaved. It seems that they know you are awake and are very happy."

Su Meiniang raised her hand slightly and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. Then she carefully took the child from the nurse and brought him to Yuan Ying. Her face was full of love and emotion, and she said softly:

"Little Eagle, look at these two children. Before we knew it, they are already over half a year old. The elder sister's nickname is Panpan and the younger brother's is Qiqi, which were given by the prince."

Yuan Ying gently touched Panpan and Qiqi's pink little faces, her eyes full of love, and said with a smile: "Panpan, Qiqi, mommy hug you."

Panpan and Qiqi seemed to understand Yuan Ying's words. They waved their little hands, made happy noises, and rubbed against Yuan Ying's arms.

Yuan Ying held the two children steadily in his arms and rubbed their foreheads affectionately. Everyone in the room looked at this scene with smiles on their faces, filled with warmth.

Murong Xuanyi walked forward, gently touched Panpan's head, hugged her and said, "Yan'er, our family will be together forever for the rest of our lives."

Yuan Ying nodded and said, "Well, we will accompany Panpan and Qiqi as they grow up, watch them get married and start their own families, and share all the happiness and well-being in this world."

Yuan Ying leaned in Murong Xuanyi's arms, looking at the two children in his arms tenderly, his eyes full of longing.

Murong Xuanzhou heard the report from Prince Jing's Mansion that Yuan Ying had woken up, so he led a group of imperial guards and eunuchs and rushed to the palace from the palace. He did not inform anyone, and as soon as he stepped into the gate of the palace, he walked straight to the room where Yuan Ying was.

As soon as he entered the room, Murong Xuanzhou's anxious expression instantly turned into joy. He took a few steps forward and said loudly, "Fifth sister-in-law, I finally woke you up."

As he said this, he turned to look at Murong Xuanyi standing beside him. The two brothers smiled at each other, their eyes filled with relief for having survived the calamity.

Afterwards, he signaled the eunuchs behind him to place the many rewards he had brought in the house, including medicinal herbs, silks, jewelry, and so on.

Yuan Ying looked calm, with a distant and polite tone, and said softly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."

Murong Xuanzhou waved his hand hastily, with a sincere smile on his face and a look of intimacy in his eyes. He said gently, "Sister-in-law, you seem distant if you are so polite. When there is no one around, just call me by my name. It will sound more intimate that way."

Yuan Ying smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I understand your intentions, but there is a difference between the emperor and his subjects. This rule cannot be violated, even when no one is around."

Murong Xuanzhou raised his eyebrows disapprovingly, took a step forward, and said earnestly: "Sister-in-law, in my heart, you are not only my sister-in-law, but also my respected elder sister. Those red tapes are for others to see. Why should we be bound by them when we are family?"

Yuan Ying raised his eyes, looked at Murong Xuanzhou's sincere expression, and shook his head gently: "That being said, there are so many eyes watching me inside and outside the palace, I can't give others a chance to talk about me."

Murong Xuanzhou frowned slightly, as if he wanted to persuade her again. Murong Xuanyi beside him smiled and patted his shoulder, saying, "Xuanzhou, just follow your sister-in-law's lead. As long as our friendship is there, the name is just a token."

After hearing this, Murong Xuanzhou sighed helplessly, but soon regained his hearty smile: "Well, since Fifth Sister-in-law insists, I won't force it. I just hope that in the future, you don't be too formal with me."

Yuan Ying nodded gently, with a gentle smile on his face: "Of course, no matter what we call each other, the affection between us will not change, so don't worry."

Murong Xuanzhou nodded, his eyes fell on Panpan and Qiqi, his eyes full of love, he smiled and teased the two children, and said: "Panpan and Qiqi, these two little guys are getting cuter and cuter, they will definitely be blessed in the future."

Yuan Ying looked at Murong Xuanzhou teasing the children, and his smile deepened. He said softly, "I hope it's as the emperor said. I just hope they can grow up safely without any illness or disaster."

Murong Xuanzhou stood up and responded with a smile, "With the love of my fifth sister-in-law and fifth brother, and being born in this palace, they will surely have a smooth and worry-free life. When the two children grow up a little more, I will personally issue an edict to make Panpan a princess and Qiqi a prince, so that they can live a life without worries."

Yuan Ying shook his head. Although he still had a gentle smile on his face, his tone was firm. He said softly, "Xuan Yi and I only hope that they can grow up freely and safely, and live an ordinary but comfortable life."

Murong Xuanzhou was slightly startled, as if he didn't expect Yuan Ying to refuse, but he soon smiled and persuaded: "Fifth sister-in-law, you are being too formal. Panpan and Qiqi are royal blood, and they are so well-behaved and cute. It is only natural to give them titles. Besides, this is just my love for them. How can I say whether I can afford it or not?"

Murong Xuanyi on the side also nodded and agreed: "Xuanzhou, the children are still young, let them grow up without worries for now."

Murong Xuanzhou frowned, thought for a moment, and sighed helplessly: "Forget it, since my sister-in-law and brother insist so much, I won't mention it for now. I was just so happy looking at these two little guys, and I always wanted to give them the best, so I didn't think it through."

He paused and changed the subject, then continued, "Fifth sister-in-law has woken up. This is a happy event for the people of our city. During the days you were in a coma, the people were spontaneously praying for you, hoping that you would recover soon. Now that they heard that you have woken up, everyone in the streets and alleys is very happy."

When Yuan Ying heard this, he was deeply moved and said, "I never thought that I would make the people so worried. I am really ashamed."

Murong Xuanzhou hurriedly comforted her, "Fifth sister-in-law cares about the people and often does many good things for them. Naturally, everyone hopes that you will be safe and healthy."

Murong Xuanzhou did not stay here for too long. After exchanging some greetings, he said goodbye and returned to the palace.

After Murong Xuanzhou left, Murong Xuanyi hugged Yuan Ying and said softly: "Yan'er, you don't have to be so distant from Xuanzhou. Just treat him as your younger brother."

Yuan Ying smiled and responded, "Xuan Yi, when people get along with each other, it is better to keep a proper distance. No matter what he was like before, he is now in a high position. He will change slowly after being an emperor for a long time. He needs to consider the whole country. If we are still as close as before, there is no guarantee that there will be a rift one day."

It is not uncommon to see this in books or on TV. No matter how good the relationship was in the past, it is nothing but a passing cloud in front of the supreme imperial power.

After listening to Yuan Ying's words, Murong Xuanyi pondered for a moment, patted Yuan Ying's hand, and said in a steady tone with some emotion: "Yan'er, you are right, I didn't think it through. It is true that keeping a proper distance is a good thing for us and Xuan Zhou."

Yuan Ying looked at Murong Xuanyi with satisfaction and nodded.

Outside the palace, after the news spread, people gathered one after another. Although they did not dare to break into the palace rashly, they all gathered at the door, with joyful smiles on their faces, and talked to each other.

"Master Yuan has woken up. This is really a great thing. We can still be cared for by Master Yuan in the future."

"Yes, Lord Yuan has a kind heart. I hope Lord Yuan will have a smooth life in the future."

The guards of the palace looked at this lively and warm scene and did not drive the people away. They just maintained order and occasionally chatted with the people to share the joy.

In the days that followed, Anyang, Dong Qingqing and Qin Zhichu often came to accompany Yuan Ying. The people also spontaneously sent some of their own local products and handmade items to the palace to express their gratitude. The entire palace was immersed in this deep warmth.

With everyone's care, Yuan Ying recovered day by day. Then Prince Jing's Mansion began to arrange the weddings of Jiang Chong and Yun Jiu.
