Travel through space and help the prince’s husband in construction

The kitchen of the Xiao Mansion was bustling with activity and filled with laughter. The return of the Di daughter was undoubtedly a great joy, and everyone in the mansion was immersed in joy.

Miss Di hasn't been home for a long time, and everyone missed her very much. Today, Miss Da not only came back, but also brought a lot of precious ingredients.

The ingredients were of premium quality, and the chefs decided to go all out to create two tables of sumptuous meals.

Everything in the kitchen is carried out in an orderly manner. Picking vegetables, washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, and preliminary processing are all done by dedicated people.

Finally, the various dishes are assigned to different chefs to cook. Some quick stir-fry dishes are handed over to the second chef. And those large dishes that require careful preparation and focus on color, fragrance, taste and shape are cooked by the chef himself.

When the kitchen was almost done preparing, the Duke returned from the court with his son and grandson. As they had important matters to attend to today, they were busy until mid-afternoon before returning home.

The news of Xiao Yunyan's return reached them before the four grandfathers and grandchildren left the palace.

At that time, their personal attendants had been waiting outside the palace gate. Madam Xiao sent someone to pass on the message, asking the Duke, the Crown Prince, and the two young masters not to go anywhere else after the court session and to return home quickly. The eldest daughter was back, and the family had a reunion dinner together.

Therefore, when the four grandfathers and grandchildren of the Xiao family just came out of the palace, the attendants could not wait to tell them the good news.

When the four heard this, happy expressions immediately appeared on their faces. They hurriedly got on the carriage and urged the coachman to speed up.

The Xiao Mansion was not far from the imperial palace. Normally it would take an incense stick of time to get there, but today it only took half an incense stick of time to reach the gate.

Xiao Yunhan and Xiao Yunji jumped off the carriage first, and then carefully helped the Duke get off.

Xiao Zhengyang is now sixty-four years old, but his body is still very strong. Thanks to the various precious elixirs provided by Xiao Yunyan to nourish his body, he now looks like a middle-aged man in his forties, radiant and energetic.

Although his two grandsons diligently helped him get out of the car, the old man just put his hands on their arms and jumped down easily.

Then, Xiao Siheng, the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion and Xiao Yunyan's father, also jumped off the carriage with the help of his two sons.

The four people of three generations, old and young, hurriedly moved towards the mansion. On weekdays, they would wait for their family to remove the threshold and let the carriage go directly into the second courtyard.

But today was a special day, and they were eager to return home as soon as possible to see Yan'er, whom they hadn't seen for more than half a year. The four of them quickly strode towards the main hall.

Xiao Yunyan was delighted when she saw her grandfather, father, and two brothers. The four of them were also very excited.

Because they haven't seen Xiao Yunyan for a long time, they really missed this girl.

Grandfather Xiao Zhengyang immediately strode over, grabbed Xiao Yunyan's shoulders, and looked left and right.

There is no big change in my granddaughter. If there is any change, it is that she has become more confident and has a stronger aura than before. She no longer has the childish and weak appearance of a little girl.

Xiao Zhengyang laughed out loud. This was the state a woman from the Xiao family should be in.

Xiao Zhengyang then remembered that he had to perform the etiquette between a monarch and his subjects for his granddaughter. After all, his granddaughter was now the Crown Princess, and the etiquette between a monarch and his subjects still had to be observed.

Xiao Yunyan immediately stopped her grandfather from performing the ceremony, saying, "We are all family members at home, there is no need to perform the ceremony of monarch and subject." Then, Xiao Yunyan performed the ceremony of the younger generation to her grandfather and father, and also performed the ceremony of the same generation to her two brothers.

Xiao Siheng looked at his daughter, his eyes revealing a complex expression of both heartache and love. He also walked over to look at his daughter carefully, and found that the aura revealed in her eyebrows and eyes was not something that an ordinary woman in the world could show.

Even though Xiao Yunyan's aura was very restrained, Xiao Siheng commented that even the most noble woman in the world, the Queen, did not have the aura like Xiao Yunyan.

He knew that his daughter was no ordinary person, so he did not find it strange, but he felt infinitely proud in his heart.

The two brothers also looked at their sister from head to toe with loving eyes. They were amazed that their sister was getting more and more beautiful and more and more like a monarch.

Everyone sat down again, and Xiao Yunyan asked about the health of her grandfather and father. Both of them laughed and said, "Since we have Yan'er's miraculous medicine, we have become the envy of others.

Although other ministers in the court can also buy elixirs from the pharmacy under your name, after all, those elixirs are in limited supply and not so easy to buy.

Thanks to Yan'er, our Xiao family can always take those extremely precious elixirs, so you don't have to worry about our health, which is naturally much better than that of others."

Xiao Yunyan nodded continuously. The greatest blessing is for the whole family to be healthy.

The three siblings also greeted each other and asked about their recent situations. Then the topic turned to the court. Xiao Yunyan asked, why did they leave the court at this time today?

When talking about things in the court, Xiao Zhengyang and Xiao Siheng first sighed, and then a solemn look appeared on their faces.

Seeing this, Xiao Yunyan's heart tightened, realizing that something must have happened again. After all, just the day before yesterday, the eight treasures came back to the palace together and enjoyed a reunion dinner with her and Li Mohan.

At that time, at the banquet, the children did not mention any thorny issues in the court.

On the contrary, they comforted their parents and told them not to worry about the affairs of Beichuan State. Because now, not only are there eight babies taking turns to govern, but there are also great-grandfathers, grandfathers and uncles to assist, and ministers in the court to discuss together.

In this way, unless an extremely serious situation occurs, Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan usually don't need to worry too much.

However, today the four important officials of the Xiao family in the imperial court behaved so strangely. It must be that something major happened suddenly.

Xiao Yunyan was extremely anxious and couldn't help asking, "What happened?"

Big brother Xiao Yunhan told him what happened in the court today.

Just as the court was about to end, news suddenly came from the palace gate that an urgent memorial had been received from eight hundred miles away.

The messenger rode at top speed and was exhausted when he arrived at the palace gate. It was only when two imperial guards guarding the palace supported him all the way that he was escorted to the court.

Because the content of the report was too urgent and serious, the messenger insisted on meeting the emperor in person. In addition to the memorial, he also made a secret oral report.

Ping An and Ru Yi were in the court at the time and they asked the messenger to secretly report the message in the small study behind the main hall.

When Ping'an and Ruyi came back, they also looked solemn.

Xiao Yunyan was also shocked when she heard this! Something that could make Ping An and Ruyi look solemn must be no small matter.

When Xiao Yunhan reached this point, he turned his head and looked at his grandfather and father. They nodded and allowed him to tell them the contents of the memorial.
