"As people grow up, they often end up far apart. When you were young, your companionship with Luming was rely the affection between siblings. As adults, siblings naturally have to part; it’s not that you broke your promise, just that we’ve all grown up." An Youyou advised, "In any case, Sister Anqi, you mustn’t hesitate any longer. The less decisive you are, the more my brother thinks there’s still a chance between you two. If this drags on, the ones hurt will be you, my brother and the Imperial Uncle."
Anqi nodded, silently nodding.
"Don’t worry, I will definitely settle things with my brother for you. If worse cos to worst, I won’t rush to leave the palace with Father and Mother. Once you marry the Imperial Uncle, I’ll stay in the Imperial Palace to accompany my brother more, and I’ll leave only after he truly lets go of you. After all, I’m just an idle person." An Youyou said hurriedly.
Anqi looked at An Youyou, truly moved by Youyou.
Youyou’s own emotions were clearly still a ss, yet she was wholeheartedly considering others.
An Youyou naturally noticed Anqi’s mood and smiled slightly, "What can I say, we are the best sisters in the world?!"
"Yes." Anqi tightly held onto An Youyou.
Youyou is the kindest and most wonderful person in this world.
If An Ji misses out on Youyou, it would truly be An Ji’s greatest loss!
...
Half a month later, An Ning and Xiao Jinxing returned to the Imperial Palace.
The children were all very happy, and the family enjoyed a banquet.
"Who would have thought An Ji would so quickly quell the internal strife in Beiyuan Country and beco the Emperor." An Ning couldn’t help but exclaim.
Truly, the younger generation is remarkable.
Back then, when Xiao Jinxing handed over power to Luming, An Ning was quite reluctant and felt Luming was too young to govern a country, yet the result completely exceeded her expectations. Luming was even more outstanding than she thought. The sa with An Ji, when An Ji left, An Ning also had concerns, but Xiao Jinxing resolutely told her that An Ji could manage.
In judging people, Xiao Jinxing’s insight was indeed exceptional.
"Thanks to the Empress Dowager’s kindness towards An Ji, the Supre Emperor’s guidance, and Luming’s great support, and..." An Ji seed to glance at An Youyou.
An Youyou looked down, savoring her drink.
During als, An Youyou mostly focused on eating, barely letting other matters affect her.
"Without all of you, An Ji wouldn’t be here today. An Ji toasts to you." Saying this, An Ji stood up and raised his glass.
Others cheerfully toasted with An Ji.
"When does An Ji plan to return to Beiyuan Country?" An Ning casually asked.
"After a few days, it’s Pri Minister Song’s daughter’s tenth birthday banquet. Pri Minister Song specially sent an invitation to , requesting my attendance. As he is my ntor, I cannot refuse, so I plan to decide on returning to Beiyuan after attending his daughter’s birthday banquet."
"Hmm." An Ning nodded, also considering certain things.
Having received Luming’s letter inviting them back, An Ji wanted to et them. Truthfully, An Ning was very aware of the main purpose of this return.
As the family dined together, it was naturally an atmosphere of joy.
After the dinner.
An Ning and Xiao Jinxing returned to their chamber.
Then, away from Luming’s knowledge, they summoned An Ji, Anqi, and An Youyou.
"An Ji, do you still plan to take Chaoyang away?" An Ning asked sternly.
"Replying to the Empress Dowager, An Ji has returned this ti to take Chaoyang away." An Ji respectfully said, "A few days ago, I went to Prince Jing Mansion, t with Chaoyang, and realized she wholeheartedly wishes to return to Beiyuan Country. Moreover, the marriage between her and Prince Jing is rely a na. An Ji promised her I would bring her back, and I ask the Empress Dowager to fulfill this."
They had clearly just finished dinner, and An Youyou had eaten quite a lot. Yet sitting now in her father and mother’s chamber, she continued to snack on pastries.
Of course, she heard An Ji’s words but didn’t react much.
"Anqi, what about you?" An Ning asked Anqi, "Are you sure you want to be with Jinyu?"
Anqi felt sowhat shy, and also a bit troubled.
She really didn’t want to hurt Luming, but recalling Youyou’s advice to be decisive, she firmly nodded, "Mother, the one I like is Xiao Jinyu, I want to marry him."
An Ning ultimately sighed.
She glanced at Xiao Jinxing beside her.
Xiao Jinxing appeared indifferent, as if unconcerned.
Feeling An Ning’s gaze, he promptly sat up straight.
