673. Meet His Mother-in-law Finally (1)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad

In the Fuyan Palace

Having already received the news that Crown Princess Sheng would bring the children over, although no one had clearly informed them if Highness Sheng would definitely also come, everyone in Fuyan palace started to get busy. Dowager Consort Yun, who had always stayed composed, changed quite a few sets of clothes, and kept urging Mammy Wei to prepare more food one could only have a chance to eat in the palace, eagerly waiting for the children.

"They are coming, my lady. His Highness, the crown princess and the little dukes are all here."

Outside the gate of Fuyan palace, three carriages pulled steadily. Yan Shengrui was the first to jump off the little Dumpling in his arms, and then followed by Ling Jingxuan and the little kids. Mammy Wei, who had been waiting outside, saw this scene from afar and rushed back in excitedly. Dowager Consort Yun, who was sitting on the main seat, stood up excitedly, and then seemed to realize that she kind of lost her manner. So she immediately sat back and looked in the direction of the gate frequently. Not only did she want to see her grandsons, but she also missed her son who was not close to her. In the past, every time he came back from a war, even if he was reluctant, he would come here to visit her first. But this time, she didn't see him for almost two years after he came back. She didn't know how he was doing. Now he had his wife and children, he should be living a good life, right?

After a short while, a family of five appeared at the gate of the hall. With a long face, Yan Shengrui holding little Dumpling was obviously not used to facing his mother. Ling Jingxuan, who was next to him, smiled. The two little buns looked around curiously and fixed their eyes on Dowager Consort Yun who was sitting upright on main seat. Their white, tender cheeks flushed inexplicably at the same time. Was that their imperial grandma? She was beautiful!

"Your Highness, long live!"

On the way, the servants and maids knelt on the ground. Yan Shengrui didn't look askance at all. At the same time, Jingxuan looked ahead. When he saw the appearance of Dowager Consort Yun, he suddenly felt strange, then turned to look at his man, and his forehead couldn't help sweating. No wonder his expression was so strange at that time. Dowager Consort Yun looked so... From the way she looked, it was hard for him to believe that she was Yan Shengrui's mother. She was at least in her middle forties, but looked at most in her early thirties. Besides, she didn't wear heavy make-up like other ladies, making her look more gorgeous. She was really worthy to be called the No. 1 beautiful woman in the world. No wonder the deceased emperor favored her. No man could refuse such a beauty.

"Mother!"

Standing in the front of the hall with the kid in his arms, Yan Shengrui called stiffly. In the surprise, Ling Jingxuan sighed helplessly, then walked up and knelt down with the kids, "Your daughter-in-law Jingxuan pays respect to you, mother."

His man showed no manners, so he had to be on his behalf. In such kind of scene, he didn't mind being the thick-skinned one.

"Xiaowu(Xiaowu) pays respect to imperial grandma. May you live long."

The big and small bun looked at their daddy at the same time and then kowtowed to Dowager Consort Yun. Their obedient appearance was so cute. Dowager Consort Yun immediately forgot her son's thing and walked down happily. "Get up. We are family. Save the courtesies. Jingxuan, I'll call your name directly. Thank you for taking care of Yan Shengrui and the children."
