You died to save me, I promise you a lifetime

Fighting against the Prince's Mansion.

Lunch time.

In the dining room, there was a table full of delicious dishes, and two maids stood beside it.

Manager Qu invited Zhao Jingchen, Mu Yunge, Shang Jue, Li Mingzhao and the four maids from the east, south, west and north to take their seats.

"The two maids invite Miss Mu and several other girls to try their cooking. If you like it, please come often and let them cook for you."

Mu Yunge took the lead in thanking the two maids: "Thank you for your hard work, both maids!"

The two maids waved their hands in delight, "Young ladies, please have a try! The other girls have some too. Manager Qu has sent some to them."

"Thank you, the two maids and Chief Manager Qu!"

Zhao Jingchen gestured for them to sit down: "If you want to thank them, just eat more. If you like the food, they will be happy."

Manager Qu introduced the dishes one by one, "This one is steamed jade fish, the two in the middle are lotus-pocket pork tenderloin and cherry meat, and the one over there is called Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix..."

Mu Yunge praised, "These dishes are so exquisite, they don't feel like dishes, but more like intricately carved decorations."

The two maids were so happy that their dishes received such high praise that they couldn't stop smiling.

"Miss Mu is truly beautiful and sweet-spoken. We old slaves are grateful for your compliments!"

Zhao Jingchen explained, "These are the two maids' specialties. Come and try them. Eat whatever you want and however you want. Don't be restrained."

Annan looked at Mu Yunge, then at the dishes, and a little claw almost popped out of his throat.

Seeing her little expression, Mu Yunge smiled and said, "Eat, the two maids worked hard to cook, so eat more and don't leave any leftovers. That's the best way to thank them."

The two maids nodded vigorously, their faces full of wrinkles from smiling, and greeted the maids from all directions.

"That's right, everyone, eat quickly! In the palace, there are no rules to follow. Eat and drink your fill. We are martial artists, so don't be like those spoiled girls who eat like cats.

When she was in the palace, the eldest princess often ate rice and drank soup from large bowls."

"Then I'm not welcome!"

Annan picked up a piece of cherry flesh with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. "Mm, it's so delicious! Miss, please eat quickly!"

Zhao Jingchen picked up a piece of pork tenderloin for Mu Yunge and said, "I really liked this dish when I was a kid. Try it."

After tasting it, Mu Yunge praised it highly, "Madam's cooking is really delicious. This is the first time I've tasted such beautiful and delicious dishes."

Shang Jue laughed as he ate, "I'm really taking advantage of Miss Mu and the girls today. The two maids haven't cooked for a long time, but their cooking skills are still as good as they were back then."

The two maids smiled in silence. Chief Manager Qu defended himself, "Young Master Shang is exaggerating a bit. Last year, on the prince's birthday, the two maids even cooked the dishes themselves."

Shang Jue pondered for a moment before nodding repeatedly, "Look at my memory. I miss the maids' cooking so much. One day without seeing you feels like three autumns. One year without seeing you feels like so many autumns."

Mu Yunge caught another piece of information from Shang Jue's jokes.

"When is Zixuan's birthday?"

Manager Qu glanced at Zhao Jingchen and answered quickly.

"It's the Full Moon Festival in August. Your Highness will be twenty-four this year. Other young men of the same age have children running around everywhere. This worries me so much!"

Manager Qu's words made Mu Yunge and the maids from all directions feel a little embarrassed, and they didn't know how to respond.

Li Mingzhao was the quickest to react, and he said jokingly with a smile, "Manager Qu, Shang Jue and I are about the same age as the prince. Why don't you worry about us?"

"Go away, you are a fool, you deserve to be single." Manager Qu took advantage of the situation and scolded with a smile.

"Why should I be without a wife? Manager Qu, why do you look like that stepmother on the stage?"

"Puch"

Annan laughed and the atmosphere went from awkward to relaxed.

The guests and hosts had a great time during the meal, chatting and laughing.

In the blink of an eye, the day passed quickly and the women's team returned to the general's mansion in the evening.

When the old man heard that they had returned, he immediately asked someone to call Mu Yunge over.

"Ge'er, you are a filial son. When you find something good, you still remember to send it back to grandpa to taste. The cake is delicious and grandpa likes it very much."

Zhao Yunge immediately remembered the scene of eating pastries in the morning. As soon as he mentioned it, he arranged for someone to deliver the pastries to the general's mansion.

This action was as heartwarming as the time he came to save her in the past.

"As long as Grandfather likes it!"

The old man nodded repeatedly, "Tell me about what happened last night."

"Grandfather, everything went smoothly last night. The secret guards of Prince Zhan's palace were much stronger than we expected. Nearly two hundred Dragon Shadow Guards were eliminated, and nearly fifty were captured alive.

The emperor is speechless and swallows the bitter pill. We have already avenged half of our revenge.

Besides, it didn’t take us long to find evidence in the palace.”

The old man was delighted: "Great, great! This way, we have complete control of the initiative. Even if the princess doesn't come back, we can still win."

“Well, now we just have to wait for that bastard who has a blood feud with us to make his next move.

We want him to climb high and fall hard, to make him think he has succeeded, only to miss out on that position, to let him taste the bitterness of killing and destroying his heart, and to let them fight each other.

The old man slapped the tea table beside him. "Alright, let those who have harmed us and done evil things be punished, and let Dayan be peaceful again!"

At the end of their conversation, Mu Yunge said happily, "Grandfather, Anbei may have found her relatives. The palace's chief steward Qu said that Anbei looks a lot like the eldest princess's husband."

"What?" The old man was so surprised that he almost jumped up.

"Yeah, now that you mention it, it does look a bit like it!

Wasn't that girl Anbei taken in at the border? If she is the eldest princess's granddaughter, then her deceased mother must be the lost little princess, right?

"From the current situation, everything matches up, so it's very likely."

"That's great! Miss Anbei has found her family, and the eldest princess is pregnant too. Everyone is happy!"

Mu Yunge nodded, "One of the aunts beside the eldest princess has already gone to welcome her. Everything will be decided after the eldest princess returns."

The old man nodded repeatedly in approval, unable to contain his joy.

He treated the four girls, Dongnanxixixi, and the girls in the women's team as his own granddaughters. When he was at the border, he even personally took care of their food and daily life for a period of time.

Now that his family is reunited, he is happier than anyone else.

"Great! I didn't expect that the frail An Bei would be the most likely to find her family. Think about how she was back then, so thin and small, and she almost died several times. How pitiful."

"Yes, she was afraid that we would reject her because she was too weak, so she often hid her illnesses and insisted on training with us..."

The grandfather and grandson recalled the years on the border and the difficult growth process of Xiao Anbei.

What the grandparents and grandchildren didn't know was that An Bei, who was leaning against the wall outside the door, had already burst into tears. The young lady's family gave her much more care and meticulous attention than her other sisters.

It can be said that without them, I would not be who I am today.

In this life, they are my closest family members. No matter what the outcome, I will never be separated from them.

When going to bed that night, An Bei took the initiative to ask: "Miss, I will accompany you tonight!"

Mu Yunge was a little puzzled: "Is it your turn to be on duty tonight?"
