Qi Yejing was full and in a very happy mood, so he naturally wouldn't bother with her about this little thing.

The sky turned dim and gradually darkened, and night was about to fall.

They also said goodbye and returned to the palace.

Otherwise it will be too late, the palace gates will be locked, and we will have to go through all this trouble again.

At the time of parting, Mrs. An was reluctant to leave and loaded a lot of things into the carriage, all of which were Yun Zhining's favorite food, as well as the clothes she had made for Yun Zhining, Xiao Pu Tao, Wan'er, and Jun'er over the years.

Although some of the clothes no longer fit her, they were after all a gift from Mrs. An, so Yun Zhining naturally would not refuse.

At worst, I can go back to the Clothing Department and ask Qingqing to revise it.

It can't be wasted.

Yun An also gave her a small bag.

After Yun Zhining opened it, she found a portrait inside. When she opened it, she realized that the person in the painting was her.

There was a box next to it, which contained all the letters he wrote when he missed her, the peace sutra he copied when she was injured and sick, and the prayer book hoping that she would live a long life.

There was also a heavy bag next to it.

Yun Zhining weighed it and said with a smile.

"You didn't put the small stones in the mansion into a bag and asked me to take it back to the palace so that I can take it out and look at it when I miss you and my mother?"

Yun An shook his head and smiled shyly.

"Sister, please open it and take a look!"

"You'll know after reading it."

"Okay, okay, I'll open it and take a look."

When Yun Zhining entered the palace, Yun An was still young, so she always treated Yun An like Little Grape and others. Naturally, she would not refuse his request.

He put his fingers into his pocket and pulled it gently, and the bag opened.

The contents inside also appeared before her.

She only took one look and her heart was shaken.

"An'er, what is this?"

Yun An ruffled his clothes with his fingers and said a little embarrassedly.

"Sister is helpless in the palace, and she has to take care of three children and run things everywhere. She must be stretched to the limit."

"Although this money is not much, it is the result of my hard work over the years. Please use it, sister."

"As their uncle, I didn't even give them a gift. I'm really ashamed. This is my token of my love for them."

"An'er, you..."

Before Yun Zhining could finish her words, Qi Yejing snatched the purse and threw it back into Yun An's arms.

I'm starting to dislike him a little.

"Your sister is now one of the six concubines, and her monthly salary is several hundred taels. Little Grape, Wan'er, and Jun'er also receive about the same amount of money. They have no worries about food and clothing in the palace. Although they have to take care of things during festivals, I will give her something from time to time. She lives a much better life than you."

"Instead of worrying about her, you should worry more about yourself."

"You are now ten years old. How much of the Four Books and Five Classics have you read? How much of the Six Arts have you learned? When can you take the imperial examination? What kind of results can you get?"

"If you were a woman, and you cared about your sister's daily life, I would never say anything, but you are a man, and you have to make achievements in the future. Only in this way can you become your sister's support."

"If you want to prevent your sister from being isolated and helpless, you must become a pillar of the country. Do you understand?"

Qi Yejing's words immediately woke Yun An up, and the expression on Yun An's face became much more serious.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will be more diligent in the future, read more of the Four Books and Five Classics, practice more of the Six Arts of a Gentleman, strive to take the imperial examination as soon as possible, and get a good ranking. Then, I will be a good official, become a pillar of the country, support my sister, and become a backer for Little Putao, Wan'er Jun'er, and my sister's future children."

"This is right!"

Yun Zhining glared at him, then turned around and told Qingzhu to bring the small box she had prepared.

It was filled with gold, silver and jewelry.

Mrs. An felt it was too hot and hurriedly pushed it to Qingzhu, but Qingzhu pushed it back.

"Mother, this is a gift from me, Little Grape, Wan'er, and Jun'er. Please accept it."

"I'm in the palace now, so I can't come to see you often. You must take good care of yourself, eat well, drink well, and sleep well."

"If you encounter any difficulties, please send someone to deliver a letter to me in time. If you are sick or injured, please tell me."

Mrs. An nodded obediently.

Yun Zhining waved her hand.

"Forget it. You are a person who only reports good news and not bad news. I don't trust you."

"An'er, you are ten years old now. You are a big kid now. You should learn to take care of your mother."

"Since my sister is not here, I'll have to trouble you to keep an eye on my mother. No matter if you encounter difficulties, are sick, injured, or have been wronged, you must write to me. I will help you out if I know what's going on."

Yun An nodded and said solemnly.

"Don't worry, sister. I will take good care of mother and will never make you worry again."

"An'er is so good."

Yun Zhining touched his head and smiled with satisfaction.

"But you don't have to be too nervous. Just do your best. No matter what happens, I will stand behind you and protect you."

Father Yun didn't say a word from beginning to end, as if he was an outsider.

But he is not discouraged.

Yun Zhining was angry with him because he sent her to the palace, saved Yun Fulan, and treated her, Anshi and Yunan harshly for so many years, but life is long, and he will slowly make it up.

When her children grow up, those old events will be long gone, and by then he can use a little tricks to make the princes close to him.

When the prince she gave birth to ascends the throne and becomes the emperor of Daye, he will be the emperor's maternal grandfather. It is much more reassuring to entrust some heavy responsibilities to one's maternal grandfather than to others.

He believed that sooner or later he would rise again. By then, he would be second only to the emperor and above everyone else. Who would dare to disrespect him?

Who else?
