"We're here."
There was light at the exit.
Yan Ruyu tightened his grip on Zhao Shuning's hand.
Outside, it was a whole new world.
Inside the Yun Dynasty.
All the envoys were standing on both sides of the road. As soon as Yan Ruyu and the others appeared, someone immediately came forward to greet them.
"Greetings to the Third Prince."
"Greetings to the First Prince."
"Greetings to the Eldest Princess."
Standing at the very front was a handsome and elegant man. Zhao Shuning recognized him. He was Feng Jin, the youngest child of the Feng family.
"Brothers are here."
Feng Jin's voice was extremely gentle. He had met Yan Ruyu the previous time, but this time was different. This time, even Feng Zhan and Feng Lingtong had come.
"Sister." Feng Jin bowed obediently to Feng Lingtong.
After the six of them stood still.
Zhao Shuning looked at this land and felt as if she had been here before.
"Feels familiar, doesn't it?" Yan Ruyu smiled softly.
"Yeah."
"The geographical structure here is exactly the same as that of the Qingyun Kingdom."
"Ah?"
Yan Ruyu said, "Generally speaking, our plane and the plane you're from are actually two parallel worlds."
Zhao Shuning couldn't understand, and Yan Ruyu couldn't make her understand everything at once. He just lovingly stroked her head and said with a smile, "I'll tell you slowly later."
The three of them looked at the land beneath their feet and sighed deeply.
The moment Feng Zhan saw Feng Jin, he naturally let go of Shi Jiu and walked over to hug Feng Jin, then quickly let go.
"Xiaojin. Let big brother take a look. Have you changed?"
"Second brother."
"Your second brother is still as unserious as ever."
"Sister."
Feng Lingtong nodded slightly.
Then she said, "Xiaojin, this is Su Mu."
The gentle and jade - like man stepped forward. Although Su Mu and Feng Jin were from two different planes, there were too many similarities between them.
Su Mu bowed, and Feng Jin returned the courtesy.
Both of them were extremely refined.
"And this is?"
"Xiaojin, I'm Shi Jiu. When I met you, you were still very young. Now, you probably don't remember me."
Feng Jin quickly bowed.
"You must be Little Aunt. I've often heard Father, Mother, and Second Brother talk about you."
Mentioning Feng Zhan, Shi Jiu's expression seemed to change a bit.
But Feng Jin didn't pay much attention. Anyway, he didn't connect Little Aunt with Second Brother.
Zhao Shuning said, "Xiaojin, we meet again."
"Third Sister - in - law."
After they greeted each other, Feng Jin led them on the way to the imperial mausoleum.
Zhao Shuning still remembered.
That road was very long.
They walked for a very long time.
As the leaders, Feng Lingtong and Feng Zhan walked in front, and the others followed behind.
Zhao Shuning could see and clearly feel that most of them were in great grief at this moment.
Zhao Shuning was also infected by this atmosphere. She always felt a soreness in her eyes.
Those who could raise four such outstanding children must not be ordinary people.
It was just a pity. They never got to enjoy the blessings brought by Feng Buran, the imperial teacher for a thousand years. They didn't achieve immortality and passed away early. She herself never got to meet them.
After walking for an hour.
They finally arrived at the imperial mausoleum.
Yan Ruyu stood aside, secretly clenching his fists, which showed that his heart was also greatly agitated at this moment.
Looking at Feng Zhan again, he had completely put away his usual carefree personality.
As the eldest son, he should be the first to pay homage.
Feng Zhan knelt in front of the memorial tablets.
His expression was extremely grief - stricken.
"Mother, Father, your son came back late. It was only after Buran told me that I knew you had passed away."
Feng Jin sighed.
Back then, the incident had happened suddenly. Second Brother had disappeared for no reason, and Sister had also disappeared out of thin air not long after their parents' funeral.
All that was left were Feng Jin and Feng Buran guarding the imperial mausoleum.
So, the most unwilling and guilt - ridden one should be Feng Zhan.
Zhao Shuning was a bit touched.
She looked at Yan Ruyu beside her.
She gently held the five fingers in his sleeve.
Knowing that Zhao Shuning was trying to comfort him, Yan Ruyu lowered his head and returned a smile.
"I'm fine."
Although he said so, Zhao Shuning could still feel Buran's disappointment.
"Buran, it's okay. If they are in the afterlife, they probably don't want to see you like this."
"It's all right."
After Feng Lingtong finished her worship, it should have been Yan Ruyu's turn.
But at this moment.
Shi Jiu stepped forward first.
"Little Aunt."
"I also want to pay homage to my sister." When her sister passed away, she wasn't in this world to see her for the last time.
"Little Aunt, you are of the same generation as my mother. You can't kneel to her. If my mother knew, she probably wouldn't want you to."
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't asked A Zhan for help, A Zhan wouldn't have missed seeing my sister for the last time."
Feng Zhan's expression was a bit painful.
But he still said, "It's all in the past. If my mother were still alive, with her personality, even if you didn't say anything, as long as she knew I could be useful to you, she would have sent me to you."
Zhao Shuning looked at Yan Ruyu.
Yan Ruyu nodded.
It seemed that if Buran's parents were still alive, they really would have done such a thing.
Zhao Shuning couldn't help but sigh in her heart. What kind of extraordinary people were Buran's parents? Otherwise, how could they always refresh her understanding?
When Zhao Shuning first arrived in the Yun Dynasty, she was extremely cautious, very well - behaved, and put away her usually lively personality. She quietly accompanied Yan Ruyu.
After Shi Jiu finished her worship.
Yan Ruyu held Zhao Shuning's hand and walked in front of the memorial tablets.
"Father, Mother, this is Ning'er, my wife."
Hearing the word "wife" from Buran's mouth, Zhao Shuning was in a daze for a while.
Yan Ruyu said, "Now I've brought Ning'er here to pay homage to you. It's been a thousand years. Your son is unfilial. The affairs in the Nine - Continent Continent are really too complicated, and it's extremely difficult to open the plane tunnel. If it weren't for Little Aunt's arrival, we probably wouldn't have been able to come back to see you this time."
"Father, Mother, from now on, you don't have to worry about us. I will do my best to take good care of Sister, Brother, and Xiaojin."
Buran knelt down and kowtowed three times.
Zhao Shuning quickly did the same.
After Yan Ruyu and Zhao Shuning finished their ceremony, Feng Jin also stepped forward to pay homage.
Then the four of them gathered together again and kowtowed again.
Just when the atmosphere was tense and sad.
There came a rustling sound from behind the memorial tablets.
The few people quickly stood up and warily looked towards the imperial mausoleum behind the memorial tablets.
"Look at you. You don't even know how to take care of the children. Look how sad these kids are."
The familiar voice, like a sound from the heavens, made the four people on the scene tremble suddenly.
Then they heard someone behind the memorial tablets reply, "You were just too busy playing pai - gow with A Cha and the second brothers before. Didn't you also forget you had four children?"
"A Li, don't talk nonsense. You know very well that a woman's memory will decline greatly after giving birth. It's excusable that I forgot."
The four people on the scene were shocked.
Could they really forget such an important thing as giving birth to four children?
Then there came a man's nice and doting voice.
"Do you still remember the rules of pai - gow?"
"Of course. At the beginning of pai - gow—"
The woman's voice disappeared.
