The butler rushed over and almost fell to the ground. He whispered into Lian Yan Qing's ear with a trembling voice, ”Master, the Emperor, the Emperor is here!”

What?

When Lian Yan Qing heard this, he suddenly stood up. Why would the Emperor come at this time? His heart skipped a beat. 'Is it because of what happened to Princess Thirteen just now?' No, impossible? How could he have gotten the news so quickly? Besides, even if it was a princess with golden branches and jade leaves, it was still nothing …

He didn't have time to think as he quickly walked out. However, before he could reach the entrance of the residence, he saw the emperor hurrying over with Xiao Zhenhai behind him. He was stunned and immediately knelt down.

”The emperor has arrived. I welcome you from afar, this humble subject …”

”Where is Yao'er?” However, Zhou Chengdi didn't wait for Lian Yan Qing to finish, and he immediately walked inside the mansion and asked with a deep voice.

”Princess, she …”

”Father?”

Zhou Chengdi's steps faltered, and he saw his favorite daughter, Princess Thirteenth, Feng Ziyao standing right under the red lantern. In her hand was a lantern riddle, and she wore a cloak embroidered with rain and peach blossoms, like peach blossoms in March. She looked delicate and gentle as she stared at him with her phoenix eyes, exuding an expression of excitement.

Everything was fine, nothing was wrong!

He was stunned.

The official accompanying her was also stunned. He suddenly turned to look at the pale-faced Lian Shiya! What was going on?

Imperial Concubine Fu suddenly saw that even the emperor had a surprised expression on his face. She had returned to Ning, so why did the emperor arrive so easily? The emperor dotes on Yao'er, but not to such an extent.

”Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!” All of a sudden, everyone kneeled down and shouted loudly. The Emperor suddenly arrived, and the entire Prime Minister's Mansion seemed to be facing a great enemy.

Princess Thirteen quickly walked in front of the Emperor, knelt down on one knee, and said, ”Tang Yao'er greets you, Imperial Father. Imperial Father, why have you come?”

Imperial Concubine Fu also walked over quickly. ”Your Majesty, you …” This concubine was truly caught off guard, you actually came. ”

Zhou Cheng Emperor had already suppressed the astonishment on his face and lightly glanced at the Duke of Xiao. He reached out to help the thirteenth princess up and touched her forehead. He then said lovingly, ”Imperial Father is missing Yao'er, so I've come to see you.”

Feng Ying Yao gave a delicate smile and threw herself into Zhou Chengdi's arms, saying, ”Zhuo Yao'er is here, and she misses father all the time.”

”Your majesty, this humble subject is also missing Princess Yu.” Xiao Zhenhai said.

Zhou Chengdi did not reply, but held Feng Ziyao's hand and asked her if she and Imperial Concubine Shu were well at the Prime Minister's Mansion.

”Imperial Father, mother and concubine are very good here. I like this place.” Thirteen's reply was very gentle and obedient.

”Your Majesty, the banquet is currently going on. Please take a seat.” When he heard Princess Thirteen say that she liked the Residence of Prime Minister, he felt a weight in his heart.

”It just so happens that I'm hungry too.” Zhou Cheng Emperor held Feng Changyao's hand, while on the other side, he snuggled up against Imperial Consort Su. They walked together to the most honorable table seat, and sat down. Everyone was overwhelmed by the presence of the Emperor.

To the side, Lian Yanqing's torch-like gaze turned towards the Duke of Xiao. His lips curved into a mocking smile as he said, ”General Xiao is free. I heard that the Fourth Prince just came yesterday to propose marriage. Congratulations!” ”Since you're here, have a good drink with the emperor.”
