Cheng Yue was just about to kneel at Sister Gong's reminder when Empress Dowager Fu embraced her, crying out with affection and endearment, calling her "my flesh, my liver, my Yueyue." The others began to cry as well.
Pan Yue couldn't remember the Empress Dowager, her maternal grandmother, but she felt the embrace was exceptionally warm, the scent extremely familiar. Distress welled up inside her, and she began to cry plaintively in the Empress Dowager's embrace.
After a while, Empress Dowager Fu, holding Pan Yue's face, said, "My poor Yueyue, in the years you were away, I nearly cried my eyes blind. You've finally come back. Even if I die now, I can go to Zi Yang in peace..."
Pan Yue cried, "Although Yueyue can't remember you, looking at you makes my heart feel warm. Yueyue likes you, likes you so much..."
Hearing this, Empress Dowager Fu cried out even more affectionately.
