Ji Qingwu pulled her leg back and said, "Your Majesty, my parents are still at home waiting for me."
Zhao Mingyan wrapped an arm firmly around her waist. "I'll let you go back in a little while."
Ji Qingwu didn't object further. She missed Yuan Heng and Jiu Jiu terribly, and the thought of seeing her two children first was thrilling.
They soon arrived at Zhaoyang Hall.
Ji Qingwu gazed at the familiar palace, looking all around as she stepped out of the carriage, but there was no sign of the two children.
"Where are Yuan Heng and Jiu Jiu?" Ji Qingwu asked anxiously.
Just then, Little Dongzi came out of the hall and immediately knelt. "This servant greets Your Majesty and the Empress."
Ji Qingwu raised an eyebrow slightly. 'Why is he already calling me Empress?' But since no one else was around, she didn't stop him.
Zhao Mingyan said, "Rise. Is everything ready?"
Little Dongzi replied, "As per Your Majesty's command, it was all prepared this morning."
