Returning to Feilong Palace, after sitting for a moment, a eunuch approached Leng Yixuan and said something to him. Upon hearing this, Leng Yixuan's face lit up with joy, and he immediately turned to Xin'er with a smile.
"Xin'er, my father and mother are here! Come, let me take you to meet them!"
As Leng Yixuan spoke, his handsome face was filled with excitement and eagerness.
In contrast to Leng Yixuan's enthusiasm, Xin'er felt her heart tighten at the news. The pounding of her heart grew intense, as if it were about to leap out of her chest.
After all, this was her first time meeting Leng Yixuan's father, the Empress Mother. Moreover, they were not ordinary people; if they were just commoners, Xin'er might have felt a bit more at ease.
But the thought that they were a prince and princess made Xin'er feel overwhelmed with anxiety. Her entire body seemed to tense up in response.
Her delicate face was flushed with panic.
After sensing her unease, Leng Yixuan paused for a moment. His expression softened as he took Xin'er's hands in his own, bringing them to his lips for a gentle kiss before speaking.
"Xin'er, don't be nervous. My father, the Empress Mother, won't bite! Look at you; you're so scared that your face has gone pale. Besides, apart from my father being somewhat stern, my mother is very cheerful. Once she meets you, I’m sure she will like you very much."
"Really!? Your mother will really like me!?"
Hearing Leng Yixuan's words calmed Xin'er's previously anxious heart. However, it seemed she suddenly thought of something and asked.
"What if your mother likes me, but your father doesn't!?"
Thinking of this, Xin'er was almost brought to tears.
"Um, I think I won't meet your father, Empress Mother. I'm afraid..."
"Hehe, my little fool, that won't happen. My father will definitely like you too. Besides, as long as my mother likes you, my father will love you by extension."
Just thinking about her loving parents brought a warm expression to Leng Yixuan's face.
After all, how many people born into royal families truly feel happy?
Most powerful men have multiple wives and concubines, with children everywhere, engaging in open and covert struggles that turn a household into chaos and unrest.
But his parents were not like that.
Since childhood, Leng Yixuan had watched his father cherish his mother as if she were a treasure. Years had passed, yet his father's love for his mother remained unwavering.
Even they, as children, had to take a backseat.
Thus, Leng Yixuan had always envied his parents and vowed from a young age that he would find a Favorite Woman just like his father did.
After all, to love someone means to give them happiness, doesn't it!?
Leng Yixuan thought to himself, gazing at Xin'er with eyes so gentle they seemed capable of shedding tears.
Noticing Leng Yixuan's tender gaze, the originally flustered Xin'er couldn't help but blush.
Her previous unease quickly faded away.
She chose to believe Xuan's words.
Moreover, if his parents truly did not like her, then no matter how many difficulties lay ahead, she was unafraid. Regardless of wealth or illness, she would stand by Xuan, unwavering and loyal!
With this thought in mind, Xin'er looked at Leng Yixuan with an unwavering determination.
Clearly, Leng Yixuan enjoyed the way Xin'er looked at him. A smile crept onto his lips as he turned to her and said, "Come, my father and Empress Mother are in Wanquan Pavilion. Let's go greet them now."
"Okay."
...
Wanquan Pavilion was situated on the lake of Azure Water Serenity.
At this moment, it was morning. The lake sparkled under the sunlight, and a gentle breeze rippled across the water.
Outside Wanquan Pavilion, flowers bloomed in abundance and the grass was lush, making the entire pavilion look like a beautiful painting.
Leng Yixuan led Xin'er to the entrance of Wanquan Pavilion. From a distance, two elderly maids standing outside spotted Leng Yixuan and immediately rushed inside to announce his arrival.
Before long, a graceful and elegantly dressed woman emerged from Wanquan Pavilion.
The woman appeared to be in her twenties, her hair styled in an elegant updo.
She wore only a delicate jade hairpin, exuding an air of nobility and grandeur.
Her features were exquisitely sculpted like fine jade, especially her large, round sparkling eyes that captivated anyone who met her gaze!
As the beautiful woman stepped out of the Pavilion, a tall man followed closely behind her, walking beside her.
The man was imposing, dressed in a Black Python Robe that accentuated his authority and nobility.
His face seemed chiseled by a master sculptor, with distinct features that were strikingly handsome.
Upon closer inspection, one would notice that this man bore a resemblance to Leng Yixuan, sharing about fifty to sixty percent of his facial features.
Seeing this, Xin'er was momentarily taken aback, already suspecting the identities of this stunning pair.
She was also surprised to realize how young Leng Yixuan's mother appeared.
If it weren't for the slight resemblance she shared with Xuan, and if Xuan hadn't mentioned anything about having an aunt or sister, she would have certainly thought that this woman was Xuan's older sister.
While Xin'er was observing the beautiful couple inside the Pavilion, those within noticed Leng Yixuan and their gazes quickly shifted to Xin'er.
The man and woman were initially taken aback but soon the woman's face lit up with overwhelming joy.
Once Xin'er and Leng Yixuan entered Wanquan Pavilion and the eunuchs and servants had paid their respects and withdrawn, Leng Yixuan turned to his mother and smiled.
"Father, Mother, this is Xin'er, the one I mentioned in my letter. Xin'er, come greet my father and mother!"
Hearing Leng Yixuan's words, Xin'er immediately bowed respectfully to the Prince Rui and Consort Rui before speaking.
"Xin'er pays her respects to Prince Rui and Consort Rui."
"Haha, we are all family here; there is no need for such formality."
Hearing Xin'er’s delicate voice, tinged with a hint of shyness and nervousness, Leng Yixuan's mother, Le Yao Yao, reached out her hands and grasped the young girl's small hand tightly. Yingying smiled.
It was clear that Le Yao Yao was very pleased with her son's choice.
Before them stood a girl whose face resembled the full moon of autumn, with exquisite features and a graceful stature. Her skin was as smooth as fine jade, as if she had stepped out of a painting.
Most striking were her clear and beautiful eyes, which revealed her pure-hearted nature at first glance.
Seeing this, Le Yao Yao was naturally overjoyed.
Her gaze towards Xin'er sparkled with excitement, as if she were looking at gold.
This made Xin'er feel quite embarrassed; her fair and lovely little face turned rosy under Le Yao Yao's intense scrutiny, adding a touch of color to her cheeks.
Noticing this, Leng Yixuan couldn't help but smile and said, "Mother, please don't look at Xin'er like that. She’s shy and easily embarrassed."
"Ha ha, my dear child, you’re so sensitive! Just listen to how sweetly she speaks. It seems raising you without your mother has made you overly protective! I’m merely admiring my future daughter-in-law," Le Yao Yao replied, feigning a sorrowful expression while her smiling eyes betrayed her true feelings.
Leng Yixuan could only shake his head helplessly at her words.
Upon hearing Le Yao Yao's comment, Xin'er felt her previously anxious heart finally relax, replaced by overwhelming joy.
Could it be that Xuán's mother actually considered her to be... the future daughter-in-law!?
Oh my! Did this mean that Xuán's mother accepted her!?
"Is this really too easy?!"
It turned out that she was still extremely nervous and scared. After all, Xuan was not an ordinary person; his family was filled with nobility and royalty. Accepting a girl like her, who had no status or identity, as a daughter-in-law was no small feat!
She had thought that Prince Rui and Consort Rui would dislike her because of her background, but it seemed she had been overthinking it.
As Xin'er pondered these thoughts, Leng Yixuan, as if reading her mind, smirked and spoke up.
"Haha, I told you my father and mother would definitely like you. You were so scared back then."
"Xuan..."
Hearing Leng Yixuan say this in public made Xin'er feel shy and flustered. Her face turned so red it seemed like it could bleed.
The crowd erupted in laughter once again.
Later, after Xin'er and Leng Yixuan sat inside the Pavilion, Xin'er chatted with her future mother-in-law for a while when suddenly the sound of children's laughter filled the air.
Upon hearing this, Xin'er couldn't help but look up.
She saw several elegantly dressed, exquisitely beautiful children playing and chasing each other under the watchful eyes of a few Palace Maids, hurrying towards Wanquan Pavilion.
Xin'er focused her gaze and noticed that among these children, the oldest looked to be around eleven or twelve years old, while the youngest appeared to be only seven or eight.
Each one looked as delicate as celestial beings, charming enough to win anyone's affection at first glance.
Upon seeing them, Xin'er immediately recognized that these four children were Xuan's younger siblings.
"Father, Empress Mother, greetings!"
"Ha ha, you little rascal, where have you been causing trouble again? Look at you all sweating from playing; be careful not to catch a cold."
Upon seeing her mischievous children, Le Yao Yao's face was filled with affection. She held one child in her left arm and another in her right, while cradling Old Five in the middle.
In the end, Fourth Brother was left out, gazing up at Le Yao Yao with a pair of beautiful eyes that resembled hers, looking pitifully at her.
"Mother, what about me!?"
The little boy spoke with such sorrow that his delicate little face, smooth and plump, resembled a meat bun, making one want to take a bite.
Although he was just a nine-year-old boy, he had a feminine appearance; if he wore a dress, one would surely mistake him for a little girl!
Le Yao Yao felt a headache coming on as she looked at Fourth Brother's pitiful expression after hearing his words.
