“Tartan.”
Yelu Hongyi and Zi Song appreciated each other and didn’t think of hiding anything. When Zi Song asked, he told the truth.
“Tartan? My aunt is in Tartan.”
Yun’ er looked at Yelu Hongyi excitedly. She didn’t expect this young hero to be her uncle’s clansman. I heard from Imperial Mother that Uncle was the hero who saved Aunt and created a good marriage back then!
“Your aunt?”
Yelu Hongyi heard Yun’ er’s words and looked at her. His smile was very gentle. “You can tell me your aunt’s name. When I return to the country, I will take good care of her.”
Yelu Hongyi was rarely so enthusiastic. He hit it off with these two brothers, and helping to care for his relatives was just a small matter for him.
“My aunt? My aunt doesn’t need you to take care of her. Do you want to be an official? If you want to be an official, I’ll let my father… Write a letter to Auntie!”
Yun er raised her small face proudly. Her aunt was the empress of Tartan. When she returned to the palace, she would tell her father to write a letter to her aunt, asking her to give this young hero an official position.
“Oh? Brother, is your aunt that powerful?”
Yelu Hongyi raised his eyebrows. Why didn’t he know who in Tartan was so capable? How could he casually arrange an official position for someone?
“Anyway, don’t worry about it. Just tell me if you want to be an official or not. If you want, I’ll help you.”
Yun1 er said confidently as she looked at Yelu Hongyi with big eyes.
“…. Haha, alright, then I’ll have to trouble you, brother.”

Yelu Hongyi’s eyes flashed with coldness. He wanted to see who this brother’s aunt was.
“This meal is on me. Which relay station is Brother Yelu staying at? I’ll send someone to deliver the letter to you tonight.”
Yun’ er saw that Yelu Hongyi wanted to be an official and smiled happily. She immediately asked him which station he was staying at.
“I haven’t booked a courier station yet!”
Yelu Hongyi hesitated for a moment. After entering the city, they came to the restaurant to eat and then proceeded to find the relay station.
“How about this? After dinner, Zi Song and I will take you to the courier station.”
Seeing that Yelu Hongyi didn’t book a courier station, Yun’ er became concerned. Yelu Hongyi was a guest from afar, and she was the host.
“Ha, thank you.”
Yelu Hongyi agreed without batting an eyelid. He wanted to see where these two brothers would arrange for him.
After dinner, Yun’ er and Zi Song had Yelu Hongyi wait for them in the restaurant. The two siblings took the waist token and went directly to the royal relay station. This relay station only received officials from other counties. Ordinary people were not qualified to stay.
Seeing Yun ‘er and Zi Song take out the waist tokens of the princess and prince, the station chief did not dare to be negligent. He quickly packed two rooms and waited for the distinguished guests to move in.
Yun’ er complained that the mattress they laid was too thin and ordered him to add three layers of mattresses. After adding three layers of mattresses, she still complained that it was not enough and asked him to lay a blanket before he was satisfied. The post station chief followed suit with a bitter face. This standard was enough to entertain foreign envoys. What kind of distinguished guest did the princess want to entertain?
After making arrangements, Yun’ er and Zi Song returned to the restaurant to pick up Yelu Hongyi. Yelu Hongyi was drinking tea and waiting on the second floor. The two siblings had also settled the bill for the restaurant. This touched him, but he also wanted to know who their aunt was.
Yun ‘er went upstairs and smiled like a flower as she called out to Yelu Hongyi,
“Brother Yelu, please follow us.”
Yelu Hongyi saw Yun ‘er’s smile and was stunned momentarily. He realized that this brother looked a little like a girl.
“Brother Yelu, let’s go. The courier station has been arranged. You must be tired from the journey. Rest early. We will come to see you at night.”
Zi Song went over to pull Yelu Hongyi over. Zi Song was someone who liked to befriend others. Today, when he had a temper clash with Yelu Hongyi, he wanted nothing more than to become sworn brothers with him.
The people brought by Yelu Hongyi wanted to stop him from leaving with Yun’er and Zi Song, but Yelu Hongyi only gave them a cold look, and those people didn’t dare to make a sound. They silently followed beside him, their hands vigilantly holding the hilt of their swords.
When the group arrived at the royal relay station, Yelu Hongyi stopped and looked at Yun’ er and Zi Song suspiciously,
“This is the royal courier station. Only royal officials can stay here.”
“You know quite well! No one else can stay, but you can stay because you’re our good friend.”
Yun’ er smiled. She didn’t expect Yelu Hongyi to know this was the royal relay station.
“May I ask how the two brothers can enter and leave the royal courier station as they please?”
Yelu Hongyi saw that she admitted that this was the imperial relay station, so he cupped his hands and asked calmly.
“Because we…Aiya…Forget it; I won’t hide it from you. We are princes, so it’s easy to arrange for people to stay at the relay station.”
Yun’ er wanted to lie to him but later felt she shouldn’t lie to her benefactor, so she told the truth. However, she didn’t tell the whole truth. She didn’t expose her identity as a girl.
“You are princes?”
Yelu Hongyi was shocked. At the same time, joy flashed in his eyes.
Then we are relatives. My mother is the princess of your Great Tang.” Yelu Hongyi was a month younger than Yun’ er and Ziqi. He had never met his cousins before. The sudden intimacy that they felt when they met was born spontaneously. This might be their blood relationship!
“You are…Are you my cousin?”
Yun’ er had never thought Yelu Hongyi was her aunt’s son. Her beautiful eyes looked at Yelu Hongyi excitedly.
“Then you don’t have to stay at the relay station. Come with us back to the palace to see Father.”
“Cousin, Father will be happy that you’re here. Let’s go back to the palace ” Zi Song happily pulled Yelu Hongyi. He had wanted to become sworn brothers with him, but there was no need for that now. They were brothers, and they were even blood-related!
“Alright, alright, let’s go back to the palace.”
Yelu Hongyi was overjoyed; he was still worried about how to send the invitation to the palace. Since his cousins led the way, it would be easy.
“Princess, princess, you’re not staying?”
Seeing that they had left, the station chief hurriedly chased after Yun ‘er.
“No, my cousin is here. Take him back to the palace.”
Yun’ er waved her hand without turning her head. She was so happy that she forgot to hide her identity as a girl.
“Are you my girl cousin?”
Yelu Hongyi asked from the side. He said she looked like a girl, but he didn’t expect it to be true.
Yes, Father and Mother are not allowed to reveal their identities. Cousin didn’t mean to hide it from you.”
Yun’ er nodded in embarrassment. Who asked her not to tell the truth?
“I understand, I understand.”
Yelu Hongyi smiled. His smile was very clean, like a gentle breeze blowing over. Yun’ er was mesmerized by it. This was the first time she saw a boy smile more beautifully than a girl.
Xiao Zeyu was very happy to know that his nephew had come to see him. After the court session, he rushed to the inner palace. Before he even entered the house, his voice came into the courtyard,
“Where’s Li’er? Where’s Li’er?”
The last time he saw his nephew, he was still in swaddling clothes. After more than ten years, he could not recognize him anymore.
“Uncle.”
Hearing someone call his nickname, Yelu Hongyi kneeled on the ground excitedly to welcome his uncle.
“Get up, let uncle take a look.”
Xiao Zeyu used both hands to help his nephew up. Seeing his face, Xiao Zeyu’s eyes reddened. This child was like a replica of Yeluchun. Even his temperament was very imaginable.
“How are your parents?”
Xiao Zeyu’s voice trembled. He missed his sister so much. They had been exchanging letters all this while, and Xiao Ying always said that everything was fine and that he didn’t need to miss her!
But how could an older brother not miss her?
“They… Not good!”
