Chapter 2084: Chapter 66: Homecoming

The unification of the two countries, the revival of countless endeavors, the recognition of merit, the establishment of a national name, the implementation of new governance—everything is progressing in an orderly manner.

With the consultation of the court, the national name was established as Great Yan, and the following year was set as The First Year of Kaiping. Beiyan Capital was named Yan Capital, Nanyue Changan was named Changan County, and Prince Qianxin was bestowed the title of Prince of Changan County.

Everything has been decided, only waiting for the return date.

In September, Wufu and Ah Jiu received many old friends from their maiden days at the Princess Mansion before their departure, including Master Gui, Young Master Jun, Jin Yu, and Guan Chuying from Changping Guan.

The people gathered together, exchanging toasts.

Master Gui also achieved considerable merit during the Beiyan campaign and was conferred the title of Marquis of Boping by Ah Jiu, and would accompany them to settle in Beiyan.

As for Young Master Jun and Jin Yu, these two contributed significantly in terms of finance and received titles without actual power, as Marquis Qiyang and Marquis Zhongping, respectively, thereby entering the ranks of nobility.

For many such people, even Zhou Xueli, who did not rank highly, was given the title of County Magistrate for his merit in saving the Princess Consort, giving Princess Consort Wufu’s maternal family a respectable status.

As for Wufu’s close brother, Changsheng, he long received an honorary fifth-rank position as a blade-wielding guard, while Hua Wushuang requested nothing.

"Nanyue still needs stabilization, once everything is on track, I will host a banquet and await your arrival." Wufu raised her cup to Wen Congrui.

Wen Congrui raised his cup and drank it all in one gulp.

He did not know if he would ever leave Nanyue in this lifetime, but if the opportunity arose, he would not refuse to see the broader world.

The birth of the new nation welcomed fresh blood. He eagerly anticipated how Great Yan, under Ah Jiu and Wufu’s leadership, would advance—certainly no longer resembling the previous state of decay and corruption.

Wen Congrui felt a fervor surging within, smiled, and said, "I shall certainly not fail the holy mandate."

This was not only their invitation but also his own aspiration; a new Yan nation, a new political scene that would likely be more promising and moldable than before.

Wufu squinted and smiled, feeling only delight from inside out.

"See you again in the Capital." She stood up and raised her glass to everyone present.

The old rules were shattered, new rules were being born, a new era was about to commence, their journey had just started.

The moon and stars shone brightly; Wufu stood under the corridor watching the dazzling night sky, her lips slightly raised.

Suddenly, her shoulders felt a weight, a cloak draped over them, and her waist was embraced by hands. Wufu chuckled softly, "Did he fall asleep?"

Ah Jiu rested his chin on her shoulder and nodded.

"Unexpectedly waited until he turned one year old before returning, the Royal Mother might complain until she’s tired of it." Wufu laughed.

Ah Jiu said, "Going back and hearing the grandson speak, she will only be delighted."

Wufu chuckled lightly, "During the ceremony..." Little Bun actually grabbed Nanyue’s Jade Seal.

"Let’s talk about it later." Ah Jiu pondered for a moment and asked, "Wufu, what path do you wish him to take?"

"His path is his own, however he wishes to proceed, it’s up to him. I will only teach him survival and the principles of being human, nothing else." Wufu looked at the countless stars and said, "As a mother, I only wish for him to grow up safely and become a dignified person."

Regardless of whether he becomes king or emperor, she doesn’t care. What her son decides for his future will be his own discernment.

Ah Jiu embraced her and said, "Then we won’t intentionally guide him."

"Mm."

"Tomorrow, we return home."

"Yes, finally we can go home!" Wufu leaned against his chest, her heart joyous.

Two set off, three return—quite good, indeed very good.
