Chapter 956 The Strength is You
"It was no joke. Her Majesty was dignified and elegant throughout, and all the officials congratulated her loudly."

"Humph."

The Empress Dowager was in a dilemma and turned her eyes to Ling: "Don't cry, you might as well let Lihui work harder. If he becomes the crown prince, your position will not be low in the future."

Ling had no choice but to say yes while wiping her tears.

The Yan family returned to the Duke's Mansion.

Yan Cheng immediately told his wife Hong Qingyi the news that Qiao Wanyou had been crowned queen.

"Really?" Hong Qingyi was delighted. "This is really good news. I have to go to the palace to see her and congratulate her."

"Let's go later. If you have anything to say, let Ci Yi take it in."

"Why?" Hong Qingyi was puzzled.

Yan Cheng said in a gentle voice: "The new emperor is celebrating a festival with our Yan family. If you rashly enter the palace, you might cause trouble for the queen."

Hong Qingyi nodded and said, "Yes, yes, it's not easy for the Queen to be caught between our Yan family and the Emperor."

On the other side, Fu Ciyi also returned to his new mansion.

As soon as he entered the mansion, Yan Funing, accompanied by Eunuch Song, came to greet him.

"The princess has been waiting for Your Highness, saying that today's morning court session is important." Eunuch Song said with a smile.

Yan Funing nodded: "How is it, husband?"

"Mother is the queen." Fu Ciyi said with a smile.

Eunuch Song smiled and congratulated: "Congratulations, Your Highness, and congratulations to the Crown Princess!"

Yan Funing nodded and said to Fu Ciyi, "Mom has everything she needs, so I thought we should send her some gifts."

"What do you think I should give you?"

"There are still many oranges on the orange trees in the Fu Mansion. Let's pick some and send them to mother."

"Very good." Fu Ciyi said gently, "I'll go back to my room and change clothes first."

I have to change my official uniform.

"Eunuch Song, please go and do your thing. My husband and I will go out later." Yan Funing gave the order as she walked.

Eunuch Song said he would step down.

On the way back to the main courtyard, Fu Ciyi asked her, "Do you have anything else to say?"

"Well, I want to send some to the Concubine Tai as well."

"Okay, it's up to you."

The couple returned to their room, and after Fu Ciyi changed his clothes, they both went out.

When I returned to the Fu Mansion, I could hear the sound of martial arts practice coming from inside.

Seeing that there were more people than when they lived in Prince Jin's Mansion before, Yan Funing looked at Fu Ciyi beside her with a puzzled look.

The man said gently, "It takes a lot of time to go back and forth to Nanshan. Nowadays, there are not many people staying in Nanshan. They only go there when they want to take a hot spring bath. It is also inconvenient to live in the caves, so I let them all live here to avoid leaving the house abandoned."

"Okay, but if you do that, won't that expose your strength?" Yan Funing asked in confusion.

"Do you think my strength is limited to these people?"

"Then..." She whispered, "You'd better not tell anyone. The more people know, the more danger there is."

Fu Ciyi smiled and said, "My greatest strength is you, don't you know?"

Yan Funing giggled when she heard this.

When the men saw their master coming back, they all greeted him.

Fu Ciyi raised his hand to signal them to continue, then he took Yan Funing's hand, and the two of them went to the main courtyard.

There were indeed quite a few oranges hanging on the branches.

Fu Ciyi picked a lot of them and threw each one into the bamboo basket she was holding.

Yan Funing complained that she was tired: "It's too heavy. I can't lift it if you keep throwing it around like this."

"Put it on the ground." said the man.

"But I want to pick them too." Yan Funing put the bamboo basket on the stone table.

Fu Ciyi heard this, washed his hands, bent down and picked the person up vertically: "Can I pick it this way?"

"I picked it, I picked it." She giggled, and while laughing, she imitated him and threw the fruits into the basket.

The bamboo baskets were neither too big nor too small. When both baskets were full, the couple went to the palace.

When we arrived at the palace, it was time for dinner.

When the young couple arrived, Nanny Li asked them to sit in the side hall. Without thinking much, the two of them went there with the basket of oranges.

After sitting for a while, Nanny Li came to call them for dinner.

"Where's my mother?" Yan Funing asked casually, "What happened today?"

Nanny Li smiled and said, "Your Highness the Third Prince, Your Highness the Third Prince's Consort, don't ask anything. If you ask, the Empress and the Emperor will probably give you a brother or sister."

Fu Beimo also happened to come over: "My brother and sister-in-law have me and Yuan Lian, why do they need brothers and sisters?"

Following behind him was Meng Li.

Meng Li searched everywhere for Fu Nanyao.

"What brothers and sisters?" Fu Nanyao lifted her skirt slightly and came over.

When Meng Li saw her, he immediately stood beside her.

Just when everyone's faces were full of confusion, two people came out from the main hall of the bedroom, one was Long Yi and the other was Qiao Wanyou.

Several people greeted each other: "Greetings to the Emperor, and to the Empress!"

Meng Li: "Greetings to His Majesty, and to His Majesty the Queen!"

"Everyone, get up." Long Yi was in a good mood. He turned around and held Qiao Wanyou's hand. "Wanyou, the children probably came to celebrate for you. Can I leave one for you?"

I've told you to do it day and night.

They were preparing to have lunch and then continue their work.

Nanny Li’s words were so clear just now, how come they couldn’t hear them?
How could these kids be so tactless?
Qiao Wanyou nodded: "Let's all stay for dinner."

Soon, lunch began, and until it was over, the only sounds were those of bowls, spoons, and chopsticks.

"Mother, my husband and I picked some oranges for you. Please try some, and Father should try some too."

Yan Funing signaled Fu Ciyi to take the bamboo basket over.

"Okay, everyone try it." Qiao Wanyou said, and gave an orange to everyone present.

Long Yi ate the orange and said "hmm", but showed no intention of leaving.

Seeing that he still didn't leave, Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing winked at Fu Nanyao, Fu Beimo and Meng Li.

Then all five of them left.

Walking on the deserted path outside, Fu Beimo lowered his voice and said, "Bah, shameless! He is already old, and he is still giving us brothers and sisters."

"Be careful with your words." Fu Ciyi reminded him, "We are in the palace now."

"I know, brother." Fu Beimo was dissatisfied, "We came here to celebrate with mom today, but we were kicked out before we could say a few words."

Meng Li walked beside Fu Nanyao and asked: "Have you found life in the palace comfortable, Princess?"

Fu Nanyao shook her head: "The bedroom is too empty. I feel cold and scared when I sleep."

Hearing this, Meng Li pursed his lips.

"Brother and sister-in-law, Beimo Ali, why don't you come over to my place and sit for a while." Fu Nanyao invited, "At least we can get together."

"Alright." Yan Funing nodded, "But my husband and I have to go somewhere first, and then we'll go to your place, okay?"

"That's fine." Fu Nanyao turned to look at Fu Beimo and Meng Li, "You guys follow me first."

Meng Li happily agreed.

The two young men followed Fu Nanyao.

Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing left the palace, took another basket of oranges from their carriage, and quietly ran to the cold palace.

When the two arrived at the cold palace, Concubine Yun was sitting in the corridor, basking in the sun with her eyes closed.

Ah Xiu was overjoyed when she saw them coming. She squatted down and called softly, "My Queen, the Highness is here."
