Chapter 729: Chapter 728: So Happy as if Having the Whole World!_1

She’s darkened?

How has she not noticed herself?

Su Pan’er faces them, her face imbued with a delicate and dignified smile as she bows modestly: "The Empress Dowager overpraises me."

Patting Su Pan’er’s hand gently, the Empress Dowager exudes a maternal air: "Why do you still refer to me as the Dowager? Your mother is my close blood sister - call me Aunt and let me hear it!"

"Pan’er wouldn’t dare!"

Su Pan’er hurriedly agrees, dipping her head in reverence.

"What wouldn’t you dare? Are you implying that calling me ’Aunt’ somehow disrespects you?"

Although the Empress Dowager delivers this with a smile, Su Pan’er feels her eyelids twitch in response!

She quickly complies and softly addresses her: "Aunt."

"Very good, very good!"

The Empress Dowager chuckles, her eyes crinkling with glee, holding her hand warmly: "Look at my marvelous niece. Knowing your return today, I made sure to prepare a few little things for you. You may use what’s useful and re-gift what’s not."

Turns to Nanny Ruan beside her: "Servants, bring my gifts."

Nanny Ruan quickly commands the Palace Maid to deliver the gifts.

Lifting the heavy brocaded velvet covering on the tray reveals all manner of eyecatching gold, silver, jade, Pearls Agate and other rare treasures beneath - their dazzling brilliance nearly blinds Su Pan’er.

Observing the empress dowager, who is beaming with delight, Su Pan’er quickly kneels, prostrating herself in gratitude.

"Pan’er thanks Aunt for her reward! Long live the Empress Dowager!"

"Stand stand, no need to kneel at every turn. Makes you seem boneless. Come, sit by your aunt and we can have a good chat."

The Empress Dowager’s approachable demeanor encourages her incessantly.

Su Pan’er obligingly steps forward with a smile, the two engaging in amiable conversation. The Empress Dowager mostly discusses affairs related to the river; Su Pan’er naturally focusing on positives, glossing over the rest with pleasantries.

Seeing the Empress Dowager sizing up Su Pan’er, Mrs. Hwa, wife of State Duke Hwa, diplomatically excuses herself to submit a mandate to His Majesty and makes an early departure.

When the time seemed right, the Empress Dowager gives the order to dismiss everyone else, leaving only Su Pan’er behind.

Once everyone has departed, the Empress Dowager gradually withdraws her joviality.

She scrutinizes Su Pan’er with a discerning gaze.

Su Pan’er sits there, demurely observing and listening with a faint smile, picture perfect as a Home Beauty.

"This round has been a resounding victory, the nation celebrates. To secure this triumph was no easy feat—MHM, it was hard fought. Likewise, neither was it for my son, the Emperor!...As for me, it was hardest of all."

"My son is my flesh and blood, my highest hopes have always been pinned on him since he was a child. He has never disappointed me."

"He now holds the reins of power and is often toiling over state affairs, engrossed with his work. Seeing this distresses me greatly. You being his cousin, can convey the messages to him —national affairs are important but his health is of even greater priority..."

The Empress Dowager had many things to say, the topic always circling back to Qin Feimo. Su Pan’er quietly listened to her, without uttering a word.

Truth be told, she very well comprehended the underlying intention behind the Empress Dowager’s lengthy sermon!

She had earlier heard about this from Qin Yi. Ever since an ominous rumor started circulating, relations between the Empress Dowager and His Majesty had strained. Given the Empress Dowager’s current behaviour, she probably had the intention of relaying her counsel to His Majesty through Su Pan’er.

Su Pan’er couldn’t help but feel amused, considering she hadn’t even seen His Majesty since her return. How exactly is she supposed to advise him?

"I am truly worried, alas..."

The Empress Dowager sighed deeply. Seeing Su Pan’er’s indifferent expression, she sighed again, a harsh flash in her eyes.

Then, stepping forward to take Su Pan’er’s hand, she broke into a smile: "Look at me... I’m so worried about His Majesty’s health that I could go on and on about it, forgetting that today is a day of great joy. We cannot be troubled over such trivial matters."

With a soft laugh, Su Pan’er gently withdrew her hand and replied softly: "You joke too much, aunty. Even the smallest matters concerning His Majesty are of great importance. But I’m just a nobody, and I’m helpless to ease your worry. I’m really very anxious..."

"What a phrase, ’I’m really very anxious.’ I..."

The Empress Dowager’s expression changed, about to reprimand, when she was interrupted by the distinctive, shrill voice of the eunuch from outside.

"Your Majesty, the banquet in the palace has begun. His Majesty invites Your Majesty to grace us with your presence!"

The Empress Dowager wanted to say more but realized now was not the time. So, she reluctantly set off for the Imperial Garden with Su Pan’er.

When Su Pan’er arrived with the Empress Dowager, civil and military officials were already seated in order, with a table laden with food and wine.

And her seat was at the head of the officials’ wives, next to the Empress Dowager.

Through a screen of purple-colored glazed wood with embroidered dragons chasing double phoenixes, Su Pan’er could peer through a gap and see Qin Yi, who was distinguished and handsome. He was standing there, talking eloquently with his hands clasped together.

His appropriate smile, his handsome features, his low and deep voice with its perfectly timed cadences, all revealed his extraordinary momentum, causing Su Pan’er to watch him intensely!

This is her man, Su Pan’er’s man! The man who she was willing to bear an extraordinary baby for! The man she would walk through life with!

He’s so dazzling, so outstanding, a hidden dragon in a deep abyss. Gold or an extraordinary baby is not something ordinary, and once they encounter wind and rain, they would become dragons!

The life path that belongs to him has now begun, and no one can stop his momentum to fly high!

He is a true hero!

And she, she will stand by his side!

She will be his wife, fighting alongside him!

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Su Pan’er’s mouth. It was enchanting. Her eyes were filled with mesmerizing halos. She looked beautiful to an unreal extent!

Yet, she was so happy as if she owned the whole world!

Ye Han was sitting next to Qin Yi, listening carefully to Qin Yi recounting his capture of Zhou Zhenchao. Casually glancing back, he happened to catch Su Pan’er’s gaze on Qin Yi.

The longing, admiration, confidence, and happiness in her eyes were so touching that he couldn’t help but tremble!

A heart-wrenching pain spread out from the bottom of his heart—ripping him apart. He hurriedly covered his chest, suppressing the pain within him.

His eyes, however, seemed to be glued to Su Pan’er’s, knowing full well that continuing to look would only intensify his heartache, yet he couldn’t bear to look away for even a moment!

As Qin Yi, who was explaining something, unintentionally glanced back, he also caught Su Pan’er’s gaze.

At that moment, he paused and gave her a slight smile.

That caused Su Pan’er to swiftly look away as if she had been burnt. She hurriedly covered her face with her hand, feeling her cheeks flush. However, realizing that her action was inappropriate, she quickly dropped her hand and dared not look up again.

Because of this, she missed the amused look in Qin Yi’s eyes.
