无翼乌工口里番无色无摭挡

Whether Li Hongyuan comes back or not, Jiang Ning doesn’t care.

But thinking about the two children who are still learning to talk…

They should need a father, right?

Jiang Ning said, “Whether the Emperor agrees or not, remains to be seen.”

“Given the current trend, you’ve annoyed the Crown Prince to this point, the Emperor is rather dissatisfied with him, so it’s very likely he’ll agree.”

“That makes sense. After all, distance makes the heart grow fonder, especially given the two sons are causing trouble.”

“Don’t worry, father will also mention it to the Emperor. He would have to consider the kids.” Jiang Yi laughed, “It’s getting late, I should get back.” “Brother.” Jiang Ning called him.

“Is there anything else?”

Jiang Ning looked at him affectionately for a moment then asked, “When will the money be credited?”

“…” Jiang Yi muttered irritably, “Were you born of money? Annoying girl, it will be sent to you once you get back!”

“And my Gucheng…”

“My dear niece, be careful with your words, what’s this ‘my Gucheng’? Even if you make a scene, he won’t protect you without Uncle’s agreement.”

“With Gucheng protecting me, I’m sure to live a long life.”

“…wait a couple of months until your uncle is back, treat him well, he might agree.”

“It’s just an Imperial Guard, would a great general like Uncle be reluctant?” “Gucheng isn’t ordinary, he’s someone Uncle values. Not even Dad was able to have Gucheng follow him as protection when he was assigned to a position outside the city a few years ago.”

“Sounds challenging.”

“Yes, but Gucheng is good at martial arts. If he follows you, Mom and Dad will be at ease. Don’t worry, Uncle will be back after New Year. Gucheng won’t go anywhere.”

The two siblings started plotting against their Uncle in secret.

The entire autumn in Chang’an City was relatively calm, but the Imperial Court was all a buzz.

Because the dispute between the Crown Prince and the Prince of Wei heated up more and more, it even escalated into public confrontation, stopping just short of physical altercation in front of the Emperor.

The Emperor was also annoyed by them and couldn’t help but miss his son who was thousands of miles away.

Jiang Ruobai always mentioned how the young Crown Prince and the young Princess could call for their mother but not their father, constantly agitating the Emperor’s heart.

The Emperor’s heart started to waver.

In the end, it was Jiang Ning’s final push that decided it.

She gave a roast duck to Concubine Jin.

Having finished half of the duck and feeling full, Concubine Jin held the hand of her palace maid and went for a stroll to digest. Along the way, she visited the Imperial Study.

The beautiful and elegant concubine said she missed her son.

The next day, an Imperial Edict agreeing to Prince Yu’s return for the New Year was issued.

By November, Li Hongyuan set off for Chang’an City.

Considering the time, if he travels fast, he should be able to make it home for New Year.

Both children could now walk steadily and clearly call out “Mom”.

When they learned that the Prince of Yu was coming back, the struggle between the Crown Prince and Prince of Wei quietened down.

They suddenly realized that their most outstanding younger brother hadn’t fully removed himself from the power center of Chang’an City.

As long as he wanted to come back, he could return through the influences left behind in Chang’an City.

Concubine Jin, even though she seemed indifferent, she was the mother of the child after all.

As for the Jiang family, needless to say, as the father-in-law of Prince Yu, even if it was for their daughter and grandchildren, they would try their best to bring Prince Yu back.
