Seeing him like this, everyone couldn't help but find it amusing.

Shangguan Xingyan gently patted Xiao Jing'er's shoulder and said softly to Xiao Jing'er, "Xiao Jing'er, come quickly and greet your maternal grandfather and grandmother! Didn't you always say you wanted to meet them?"

No sooner had she spoken than a clear, pleasant voice suddenly rang out from behind Shangguan Xingyan, as melodious as an oriole leaving the valley—"Grand... grandmother~"

Hearing the voice, Liu Jin abruptly turned around, her gaze like a torch falling upon that small figure.

Only to see Xiao Jing'er blinking a pair of watery big eyes, standing there timidly, both hands tightly clutching Shangguan Xingyan's sleeve.

Seeing Xiao Jing'er like this, Shangguan Xingyan hurriedly scooped Xiao Jing'er into her arms, then strode toward Liu Jin.

Xiao Jing'er seemed frightened, her body trembling, her little face buried deep between Shangguan Xingyan's neck like an ostrich, not daring to lift her head.

Shangguan Xingyan patted Xiao Jing'er's back to comfort her while softly coaxing, "Xiao Jing'er, don't be afraid, come, turn your head, look at your grandmother." Saying this, she carried Xiao Jing'er to Liu Jin's side.

Looking at this exquisite little one before her, Liu Jin's heart was full of joy.

She gently stroked Xiao Jing'er's hair and said in a gentle voice, "Xiao Jing'er, don't be afraid, I am your grandmother. Grandmother specially came to visit you today, and brought you a very fun gift!"

While speaking, Liu Jin slowly reached into her bosom and carefully took out a small exquisite gold ingot. Though not large, the gold ingot was extremely exquisite, flashing with dazzling light.

When Liu Jin handed the gold ingot to Xiao Jing'er, it was just the right size, as if tailor-made for Xiao Jing'er.

Xiao Jing'er happily took the gold ingot, her eyes wide and round, staring at it unblinkingly. Shangguan Xingyan seized the opportunity and quickly handed Xiao Jing'er to Liu Jin.

Surprisingly, this time Xiao Jing'er did not cling tightly to Shangguan Xingyan refusing to let go as before.

It turned out that the little one's small hand was holding a small exquisite gold ingot! Because her attention was completely attracted by this cute little gold lump, when she realized she had been handed to someone else, her body stiffened a little, but she still obediently called out, "Grandmother... thank you."

Looking at the innocent Xiao Jing'er before her, Liu Jin's face bloomed with a kind and doting smile. She softly replied, "Oh my, my good grandchild, why are you being so formal with grandmother?"

Hearing this, Xiao Jing'er finally lifted her head, her gaze gradually falling upon Liu Jin.

Just this one glance, and he immediately let down all his guard and vigilance. The reason was none other than Shangguan Xingyu looked too much like Liu Jin!

Except for a few fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, the two were simply as if carved from the same mold.

After all, Liu Jin, once honored as the mother of a state, took great care in maintaining her appearance; now even though she had entered middle age, she still had graceful bearing and outstanding demeanor. If she stood side by side with her daughter Shangguan Xingyu, others might mistake them for a pair of sisters!

At the moment Xiao Jing'er gazed at Liu Jin, an indescribable sense of closeness surged in her heart.

She couldn't help but move closer to Liu Jin, then pressed her tender soft cheek lightly against the other's face, and softly said, "Grandmother's cheeks are so cool~ Jing'er will help warm them up!"

These sweet, almost squeezable soft childish voices were like heavenly music, so pleasant that they almost melted Liu Jin's heart.

Xiao Jing'er was born with an exquisite appearance, her eyebrows and eyes quite similar to Shangguan Xingyan in her youth.

The saying goes, "A nephew resembles his maternal uncle," so it must be so. It's just that Shangguan Xingyan had been extremely mischievous since childhood, while this little one before her was soft and cute like a glutinous rice ball, especially her coquettish and spoiled manner, which was very much like Shangguan Xingyu when she was young.

Such a well-behaved and lovable appearance made Liu Jin love her dearly, and she couldn't help but lightly kiss Xiao Jing'er's tender cheek, softly saying, "Yes, it's windy and cool outside, let's go back to the carriage."

The carriage Shangguan Peilin rode was not very luxurious, but the interior space was quite spacious and comfortable.

Seeing this, Liu Jin turned to Princess Consort An and said, "Princess Consort, why not let Xiao Jing'er ride with us? I still want to hold her more."

Princess Consort An happily said, "Very good, very good! It just so happens that Yu'er can also go over, and you mother and daughter can take this opportunity to chat. Get on the carriage quickly, don't delay the time; we can reminisce slowly after returning home."

Shangguan Xingyu had originally hoped to ride in the same carriage as her mother, but out of propriety didn't know how to bring it up.

Hearing Lady Shangguan mention this matter proactively at this moment, it was like a pillow sent when sleepy; she hurriedly replied, "Thank you, Mother Consort! Then the children will go wait on the carriage first."

After speaking, they turned and walked toward their respective carriages. At the same time, after An Wang and Shangguan Peilin briefly exchanged a few words, they likewise returned to their own carriage compartments.

The other family members also followed closely and boarded their own carriages; the entire procession was orderly.

The procession led by An Wangfu set out. When they reached the city gate, the soldiers responsible for guarding saw the An Wangfu carriage and, knowing its noble status, dared not stop it, and without hesitation let it pass.

Thus, the procession entered the city without obstruction and drove straight toward An Wangfu Di.

Upon arriving at the gate of An Wangfu, An Wang and his An Wangfei immediately leapt down from the carriage shaft and quickly walked to the front of the carriage Shangguan Peilin rode to wait.

After Shangguan Xingyu waited for the carriage to stop steadily, she lightly lifted the carriage curtain to look outside, and saw this scene. She said somewhat embarrassedly in a soft voice, "Father, Mother Consort, you have waited long." Princess Consort An comforted her, "Family doesn't speak of two families."

After speaking, Shangguan Xingyu nimbly leapt down, then immediately reached out with both hands, preparing to lift Xiao Jing'er out of the carriage.

But at this moment Xiao Jing'er tightly clung to Shangguan Pei's beard and refused to let go, curiously asking, "Grandfather, why is your beard so long?" That tender clear voice was like heavenly music transmitted into everyone's ears present, causing a warm current to surge in people's hearts.

Shangguan Pei looked at the cute grandchild before him and softly said, "When you grow up a little, you will also grow a beard. Then you can keep it, and be like Grandfather, keeping a long beard!"

No sooner had the voice fallen than Liu Jin also followed and got down from the carriage, her face beaming with a happy smile.
