Yun Tang was still dressed as a teenager, and he and Yun Xuanmo both wore blue clothes. After packing up, they went out together. When they learned that their third senior brother had also gone to the Central Palace, they hurried over.

The palace was very lively at this time, but this kind of liveliness was more like homely. The palace servants looked at the few people from outside who had no official positions or titles, but they did not dare to disrespect them at all.

Even the Empress, who is the mother of the country, dared not neglect these common people in the slightest, because they were all the Emperor's junior brothers, and she didn't even dare to call herself "this palace" in front of them.

What's more, the emperor was also present, so the prince could only stand.

When Yun Tang and Yun Xuanmo came over, the scene became even more lively.

"Master, you're back!"

Princess Mingxi and the others came over immediately. They were overjoyed to see Yuntang coming back, but when they saw Uncle Nine, they were a little reserved and shy and quickly bowed.

"Uncle Nine, you're back." Only Princess Mingyue had a bright light in her eyes, and she came over with a happy face to greet Yun Xuanmo.

Yun Xuanmo was stunned for a moment when he saw the girl rushing up to him and bowing. Then he remembered something and smiled, "Are you Mingyue? You've grown up so much."

This sentence, which is often said by elders, immediately made the entire palace quiet.

Princess Mingyue looked at Yun Xuanmo with embarrassment and a sense of grievance, and reminded him, "Uncle Ninth Master, I'm seventeen, and I'll be eighteen in another six months."

She is only two or three years younger than Uncle Nine, right?

Yun Xuanmo smiled awkwardly, but did not continue to exchange pleasantries. Instead, he pulled Yuntang, who was surrounded by several little princesses and chattering, out and took him to Queen Xu to pay his respects.

"I'm glad you're back, Ninth Junior Brother. I didn't see you when Xiao Tang'er came to my place last year, and I'm a little uncomfortable with it."

Empress Xu smiled and motioned for them to excuse themselves, but she was actually making fun of herself.

In the past, when Yuntang came to the Central Palace to play, Yun Xuanmo would take her back to Qingfeng Palace.

Therefore, when the grown-up Yuntang came to the Central Palace alone to pay a visit to her sister-in-law, and her speech and behavior were like those of a grown-up girl, she was really not used to it.

After Yun Xuanmo got into trouble, he was hidden in the basement of Yunshang Temple. Only people from Yunshang Temple and Qingfeng Temple knew about it. Even the Qinglong Guards were not clear about Yun Xuanmo's situation.

Empress Xu naturally did not know the truth. She just thought that Yun Xuanmo had been on a mission outside and had not returned to the capital for a long time. Princess Mingyue was worried about her Ninth Uncle but could not find anyone to ask, so she finally asked Yun Tang.

Yun Xuanmo dealt with the situation with a few meaningless explanations, then quickly pulled Yun Tang to sit next to him.

However, Xiao Beichen spoke up at this time: "I have also met your sister-in-law, so hurry to the Duke of Wei's Mansion to wish the elders a happy new year."

They arrived first and are still sitting here. In fact, they are waiting for Yun Tang and Yun Xuanmo to come. They still have to go to the Duke Weiguo’s Mansion and the General Jingbei’s Mansion in the morning. How can they delay any longer?

"Why is Your Majesty in such a hurry? It's a rare occasion that my fellow apprentices come to the palace, so why don't you have a home-cooked meal here at noon?" Empress Xu looked at Xiao Beichen with a smile and suggested.

Xiao Beichen shook his head: "Let's wait until Master arrives to discuss the daily routine. They have other things to do."

"During the New Year, I should go and pay New Year's greetings to the elders of my fifth senior brother's family. My fourth senior brother is still in the northern border and it is inconvenient for me as a senior brother to leave the palace. Of course, I should go and pay New Year's greetings to my junior brothers when they come."

After he said this, Empress Xu felt it difficult to continue trying to keep him, and she couldn't express her grievances.

"Che'er, you can go with us and wish the elders a happy new year on behalf of your father." Xiao Beichen instructed the Crown Prince Xiao Che again.

"Father, let's go too. Brother Lin Haoran is not here today, so we are free." Xiao Ye spoke quickly.

Xiao Jian and Xiao Hong, who were following him, also nodded quickly, looking excited about going out of the palace to play.

"Didn't you just go there? If Haoran and the others aren't coming, you don't have to practice martial arts? Are you practicing martial arts for Haoran and his brother to see?" Xiao Beichen's face darkened, staring at these naughty boys.

"We want to practice our skills in front of Junior Master-Uncle..." Xiao Hong muttered softly.

Xiao Beichen choked.

Yun Xuanmo smiled and said, "Your junior master has mastered the basic skills since he was three years old. Can you practice for her?"

Xiao Hong was stunned.

Xiao Ye's face suddenly turned red and his expression became a little stiff.

Xiao Jian looked at his Ninth Uncle in disbelief. Was he being laughed at by his Ninth Uncle or by his Junior Uncle?

Han Wenyi looked at Yun Xuanmo and Yun Tang, pursed her lips with amusement, and finally looked at Wang Kun inquiringly, and Wang Kun nodded.

Wang Kun stood up and saluted, saying, "Third Senior Brother, Third Senior Sister-in-law, let's go and pay our respects to Grandfather Lin and Grandmother Lin first."

Among the brothers' families, the oldest and most senior ones were the old Duke Weiguo and his wife. They also followed Yuntang in calling Lin Grandfather and Lin Grandma.

After that came the fourth brother’s parents and the fifth brother’s parents.

Eighth Senior Brother’s parents were in the Southern Territory, and they often visited each other there. Others would also occasionally visit the Lan family.

Apart from these elders, there is no other family in the capital city who needs them to visit.

Even though Yuntang had just returned to the Yong'an Marquisate, they had no plans to visit him.

They had already heard about Yuntang's life experience and some things that happened when he returned to the Marquis' Mansion, and they looked down on people like Princess Kangning.

Seeing that they were about to leave, Empress Xu quickly had someone bring a few lucky bags and said with a smile:

"You married people but you didn't bring your children to the capital for us to see. My sister-in-law has also prepared some New Year's gifts, so I can only give them to you."

Lan Jue smiled and said a few polite words before accepting it. He went north alone, leaving his wife and children in the southern border.

Wang Kun and Han Wenyi were a married couple. They sent their child to the Lan family, and at this time they politely accepted the child.

Afterwards, Empress Xu held two lucky bags and looked at Yun Xuanmo and Yun Tang, saying with a smile, "You two are the youngest, so Third Sister-in-law has prepared some for you as well."

Yun Xuanmo felt a little embarrassed when he saw this, but Yun Tang, just like when he was a child, happily walked forward, clasped his fists and bowed, then quickly took the two lucky bags.

"Ninth Senior Brother, I'll keep yours." Yun Tang tilted his head and smiled playfully.

Yun Xuanmo nodded lovingly, and the matter was resolved.

Empress Xu looked at the scene which was similar to the previous one, but there was a gleam of understanding in her eyes, as if she had discovered some secret.

Although she, as the queen, could only behave as an ordinary housewife in front of the Taoists of Qingfeng Temple, she really liked Xiao Tang'er very much. If it weren't for the difference in seniority, she would have wanted to adopt her as her adopted daughter.

Therefore, she was very dissatisfied with what Princess Kangning did. She felt very happy when the emperor did not allow Princess Kangning to enter the palace for the annual banquet in the palace.

Years later, Princess Kangning once handed in a sign wanting to enter the palace to meet her, but she directly refused to see her on the grounds that "recovering from illness is more important."

Watching the group of people leave, Yun Xuanmo didn't speak to her anymore. Princess Mingyue looked gloomy, with an unconcealable disappointment in her eyes.
