"My son is honest, he canāt tolerate any injustice, and he detests the bullying of common people, which is good. Your intentions in handling matters are correct, but your methods are not. Now youāre still young, and others might praise you for being brave and resourceful. However, when you reach eighteen or twenty and act this way, your opponents will point out your overstepping as a flaw to attack you, understand?"
"Understood!" Yangyang raised both hands to assure, "I wonāt be so reckless in the future."
"As long as you understand." Ye Ziāan sighed again, "I have told you many times, consider everything thoroughly before acting, and the premise must be not to harm yourself. Only when one has protected oneself can one have the ability and experience to protect others. Remember your fatherās words."
"I will definitely remember."
"Alright, itās getting late. Go back and rest with your brother." Ye Ziāan ruffled his hair, "I have some ointment; Iāll send it to you later."
"Dear Dad, my leg doesnāt hurt, I was just pretending earlier."
"Use it so that your leg wonāt bruise by morning."
Yangyang chuckled again at his words, "Dear Dad, you must be the best dad in the world!"
After speaking, he took Lele by the hand and was about to dash off. When he reached the door, he turned back and winked at Yang Chuxia, "Mom is also the best mom in the world!"
"Dad, Mom, Iām heading back now." Lele took the opportunity to say goodbye to his parents.
"Ah!" Yang Chuxia sighed, "Every time we talk to him, he assures us so well, but when it comes to the moment, he completely forgets."
Ye Ziāan comforted her, "Donāt worry, we will guide him slowly. His problems arenāt major. If he were truly a domineering playboy, then you should cry."
"Youāre right." Yang Chuxia got up and took his arm, "Letās go back and rest too."
"We should retire early; tomorrow we have to attend the palace banquet." Ye Ziāan held her hand and said, "Youāve been away from the Capital City for a year; you should also pay your respects to the Empress."
"I understand."
The next day
Due to Ye Ziāanās enthusiastic company the previous night, she got up a little late.
Originally, she planned to enter the palace in the morning, but it seemed a bit late now.
She had to wait until the evening banquet, entering the palace a bit earlier to visit the Empress.
"Mom, Father and my brother have already gone to the palace." Seeing her come out, Lele, who was waiting outside, approached and said, "Dad said he would take my brother to admit his mistakes."
"Yes, I know." Ye Ziāan told her about this last night.
"Then Mom, please eat first. Iām going to the study room."
"Go ahead." Yang Chuxia hugged him, "Donāt read for too long, remember to balance rest and work."
"I understand."
After Lele left, Yang Chuxia ate something, and before long, Dongyang arrived with Chengcheng, saying they wanted to attend the palace banquet with Yang Chuxia.
Yang Chuxia naturally agreed; she, too, didnāt want to meet the Empress alone.
At 3:00 p.m to 5:00 p.m, Yang Chuxia and Lele changed into new clothes and went to the palace with Dongyang and Chengcheng.
At the palace gate, they encountered some familiar faces and exchanged pleasantries before entering the palace.
As they neared the inner court, Yang Chuxia parted ways with a few other ladies and went with Dongyang to see the Empress.
This made many people envious, for not everyone could have an audience with the Empress. Even though they could see her at the palace banquet, seeing her there was different from a private audience.
"Doesnāt it seem like you donāt want to leave, being away for a whole year?"
