Tinglan Courtyard.
The Grand Dowager, who had been longing for a reunion for a month, finally saw the young couple again. She was as excited as a child: "Qianqian! My great-granddaughter-in-law! You're back!"
"Great-Grandmother."
"Great-Grandmother."
The two of them paid their respects as juniors.
The Grand Dowager pinched Meng Qianqian's cheeks, then Lu Yuan's: "Oh dear, why have you both gotten thinner? Is the food in the Imperial Palace not tasty?"
Meng Qianqian smiled lightly: "It's because we missed Great-Grandmother too much."
"What about the baby?"
Bao Shu patted herself.
Meng Qianqian quickly picked up the little one and kissed her chubby little face: "Of course we missed you, baby."
Bao Shu had many nicknames: Treasure Piggy, Zhaozhao, Baby...
The Grand Dowager was adept at spreading affection equally. Seeing that Bao Shu was hogging her mother, she pulled her great-granddaughter-in-law aside, asking countless questions to ensure he didn't feel neglected.
