An inexplicable panic crept into my heart, and even Zhizhi and Taotao, who usually stayed by my side, were nowhere to be seen.

Mingyue called out, "Taotao, Zhizhi? Where are you?"

"Grandmother? Uncle? Aunt? Brother Huan?"

It was so quiet all around that only her voice could be heard. Mingyue felt a little uneasy and could even hear panting coming from all directions.

She stood up and planned to take a look at the scene outside. She pulled out the hairpin on her head so that she could be on guard if there were any bad guys.

At this moment, someone was stepping on the snow, getting closer and closer. Beads of sweat flowed down Mingyue's forehead, and her heart beat faster.

The moment the footsteps stopped, she silently said to herself, "All the bad guys, go away! Go away! Go away! Go away!"

The next moment, she seemed to fall from a great height. When she woke up again and opened her eyes, she saw the carriage again, and in her hand was still holding the Heyue hairpin.

Before she could calm down for a moment, the sound of "crunching" snow was heard again outside, but this time, there was no fear in her heart.

The curtain of the car was opened with a loud noise. The light was a bit dazzling. Before Mingyue could come to her senses, she was hugged tightly in someone's arms. "Mingyue!"

A familiar warm fragrance hit her face, and before her mind could process it, her body had already reacted and she hugged the man back, "Mother!"

"Eh!"

The person who came was Jiang Mengrou, whom I hadn't seen for a year.

Mingyue's nose was sore and tears fell. She was so afraid that this was all a dream. But the real touch and warm breath told Mingyue that this was not a dream. It was her real mother who appeared in front of her!

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly. The father and his two sons outside the carriage also had red eyes. Minghao, who had not been seen for a long time, has now grown into a big boy.

He shed his childish fat and gained dark skin, with a pair of determined eyes that were bright and sharp.

In just one year, the little boy who used to play catch with cats and dogs had grown up. However, the snot bubbles that kept expanding and shrinking from his nostrils revealed that he was still the same crybaby boy, without a single change.

When the mother and daughter's crying gradually subsided, the father and his two sons rushed in. The small carriage was filled with the joy and tears of the family reunited.

Not far away, Yuan Tianzhen and the Queen Mother huddled together tightly, wiping each other's tears with handkerchiefs, leaving Jiang Hetang alone in the carriage, crying but not letting himself make a sound.

Huan Ge'er looked at Mingyue's carriage, then at his tearful grandmother and mother, and finally shook his head. He resigned himself to his fate and chose to sit in front of Jiang Hetang's carriage, holding Liuliu to guard the door for him.

The snow was getting heavier. Eunuch Su patted his thigh and sighed. He couldn't bear to break the warm moment of reunion after a long separation, but he still stepped forward to remind them, "Your Highness, Little Princess, the snow is going to get heavier. Let's hurry to the Golden Summit."

"Her Majesty the Queen, Her Majesty the Empress, please get in the car quickly, it's going to snow heavily."

She quietly poked her head out of the window of Jiang Hetang's carriage and threw a snowball in. "Your Majesty, quickly wipe it off and apply some snowflakes on it. Your eyes are swollen."

Jiang Hetang angrily threw the curtains away and put the snowflake-wrapped silk on his eyes. When Huan Ge'er came in, he pretended not to see him and leaned against the wall of the car with his eyes closed.

After arriving at the Golden Summit, everyone gathered together. There was no crying anymore, but instead a joyful atmosphere.

"Mother, look, these, these, these are all the wonderful treasures I bought."

“And this, and this…”

Jiang Mengrou watched her little daughter chattering away introducing things to others, with a smile on her lips but tears in her eyes. A year, a whole year, and as a mother, she had missed her daughter's precious year.

She scratched her fingers hard and swallowed the sourness. She had clearly prepared herself mentally before coming here and must not cry again.

The bright moon was like a happy butterfly, flying around the Golden Summit with its family all afternoon.

At dinner, the whole family finally sat together for dinner after a year. During the meal, they talked about happy events, especially the interesting things that happened when Minghao first went to Minzhou.

"Hahahaha, this kid caused trouble for me on the first day he went to Minzhou. He had a fight with the local bully and tried to imitate him by floundering in the water. Luckily, I arrived in time and he just choked on some water. Otherwise, I don't know how serious the consequences would be." Zhao Yunshan started to scold his son for his mischievous behavior after drinking.

Zhao Minghao's head was about to crawl under the table. "Dad, Dad, Dad, please stop talking. I can swim now. Wasn't that little bully also confiscated along with his father?"

Everyone laughed out loud, Minghao is really everyone's happy fruit~

We talked a lot until late at night, but most of them only reported good news and not bad news.

At night, Mingyue snuggled in her mother's arms with a small pillow in her arms, with her father on the other side, and her two brothers slept on the floor.

Looking back, it was Dad who was kicked out of bed and had to sleep on the floor. Now my eldest and second brothers have grown up, and it is not appropriate for them to sleep in the same bed with female relatives, but since we are finally together, it is still okay for them to sleep in the same room.

The five of them fell asleep while chatting in the dim candlelight, just like before.

Zhao Minghao and his father snored one after another, but the other three were not awakened. They must have been very tired.

"Father, where did this monster come from?" A small bright yellow figure stood in front of the Kunlun Mirror.

"Why do you care about it? It's just lost by your sister again." The man was wearing a bright yellow brocade robe and looked like the little boy. At this moment, he held his chin and looked lovingly at the sleeping face of the person in the mirror who was breathing regularly.

"But my sister is just an ordinary baby now, not much older than me!" The little figure stamped his feet anxiously, "What should I do if there is a next time?"

"Don't worry, besides you and me, there must be many people protecting her." The man stretched lazily, "You stay here and watch over her. Father will go and rest for a while."

The little boy gritted his teeth. It was the same again. He said the same thing last time, saying to let nature take its course. Humph, if he hadn’t intervened, who knows where his sister would be begging for food now!

The man walked out, but his back seemed to have eyes, and he saw everything the little boy did. He shook his head. This kid thought it was his own credit, but it was all thanks to his sister.

Alas, there's nothing we can do about it, this kid is just lucky.
