Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Thankyou for your trouble, Auntie,” Guoguo said as she stood up.
“Your father…” Gu Wanning hesitated momentarily before finally asking, “How is he doing now?”
Guoguo was stunned momentarily before replying, “Father is very well. However, he couldn’t handle the fatigue of traveling, so he didn’t come over. He did ask us to tell you that he’s safe, though.” After saying that, she shot a warning glance at her two younger brothers. Their parents were no longer the same as before. They couldn’t be affected by any karma, so it was better not to involve them again.
“Yes, Father’s body can’t take the dry weather up north,” Chenchen chimed in in agreement.
“It’s good to know you’re all still alive. It puts me at ease,” Gu Wanning sighed in relief. “But you won’t be staying this time, will you?”
“No, we mainly came back to see everyone,” Guoguo explained. “After that, we need to go back to keep our parents company.”
“Speaking of keeping your parents company,” Gu Wanning continued, “you’re not young anymore. You should be thinking about starting a family, right?”
“There’s no rush,” Guoguo replied dismissively.
“You’re already in your twenties! If you don’t get married soon, you’ll be considered an old maid,” Gu Wanning teased. “There are many talented young men in the capital now. Would you like your aunt to help you find someone?”
Guoguo shook her head firmly. “Forget it. I’m actually quite envious of the monogamous relations.h.i.+ps they have in other places. If I can’t find someone truly compatible, I’d rather not settle for anything less.”
“What about you two?” Gu Wanning turned her attention to Chenchen and Third Fatty.
“We’re still young. We don’t need to think about that yet,” the two brothers declared in unison.
According to their extended lifespans, they were still considered young by cultivator standards. They weren’t interested in being tied down so early. Moreover, with their status, even if they didn’t actively seek out cultivators, any potential partners would need to have spiritual roots. The thought of being abandoned by someone incompatible halfway through a relations.h.i.+p was simply too sad.
Seeing their resolve, Gu Wanning didn’t press the issue further. However, she couldn’t help but worry about her cousin and his wife. With their particular preferences, she wondered when they would ever find suitable partners and have grandchildren.
The conversation then s.h.i.+fted to the situation at sea and the current state of affairs on other continents. Learning that no country could currently compete with the Great Ming brought a smile to Gu Wanning’s face. At least the empire would be free from external threats for the foreseeable future.
Just as everyone was engrossed in conversation, Eunuch Qian hurried in. He bowed and announced, “Miss Guoguo, Young Masters Gu, the Emperor has requested your presence.”
“Thankyou, Eunuch Qian,” Guoguo acknowledged as she stood up.
Gu Wanning also rose to her feet with a smile. “The Emperor misses you all dearly. You should head over now. Remember to come by my place for lunch at noon.”
“Sounds good, Auntie. We’ll be there shortly,” Guoguo replied. After saying goodbye to her two younger brothers, she followed Eunuch Qian towards the Emperor’s study.
Upon entering the room, they immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
The Emperor, holding a teacup, set it down and quickly rose to greet them. “Welcome back! Please, make yourselves at home. If you’d like a specific type of tea, I’ll have someone prepare it.”
Hearing this, Guoguo discreetly retrieved two cups of tea from her purse and handed them to Eunuch Qian. “We actually brought our tea, Uncle. Why don’t you try some and see if you like it?”
“Well, then I’ll gladly accept your hospitality today,” the Emperor chuckled. “But if I enjoy it, you’ll have to give me some to take home.”
“Of course,” Guoguo laughed in agreement.
A moment later, the rich aroma of freshly brewed tea filled the room.
“Even without tasting it, I can tell it’s good tea,” the Emperor remarked, sniffing the air appreciatively.
“I’ll give you two packs later,” Guoguo promised.
After the tea was served, the four took a cup of tea. The Emperor then sent the palace servants out and asked, “How are your parents?”
“Have they recovered their G.o.dly states?”
