Ever since Chiyo was brought back by Miyashiro using Impure World Reincarnation, Ei and Chiyo have been inseparable, just like before.
Under Chiyo's subtle influence, Ei's heart, which had been sealed away after enduring much of the world's vicissitudes, gradually began to melt, and the likelihood of other emotions appearing on her face became much more frequent.
Their relationship instantly surpassed that with the Miko, making the Miko feel somewhat neglected.
However, the Miko did not mind this, as her current personality truly did not match Ei's.
If they were together all the time, their relationship might actually suffer; this is what is known as 'distance creates beauty.'
Eula quietly asked, "Senior Chiyo, I heard that childbirth is very painful. Is that true?"
Chiyo replied, "Pain? I don't think I felt any. I just remember waking up the next day and seeing Daoqi had been born naturally.
I immediately ran out to show Daoqi to Ei, Makoto, and Kitsune Saiguu, bragging a bit."
Well, it seems Chiyo's past experience is completely useless now; the physical difference between the Oni race and the human race is simply too vast.
From the few words shared by Ei and Chiyo, everyone present could sense that the young Miko Chiyo had actually retained the Oni race's wild and unrestrained, lively nature.
It was only after experiencing too many people and events that her temperament was slowly worn down.
Little Klee, who was playing nearby, became very excited when she heard about having a baby and said, "Is Sister Shenhe going to have a baby? That's great! Then I can be an older sister!"
Yoimiya, who had been taking care of him, smiled and reminded him, "Little Klee, you won't be an older sister.
The children Madam Shenhe gives birth to are not of the same generation as you.
You should call them nephews or nieces, and they will call you 'Auntie' in the future."
Unexpectedly, upon hearing the term 'Auntie,' little Klee seemed to recall something, and his small face instantly fell: "Au... Auntie? Eh, is that the same as Auntie Huanggu?
Klee doesn't really like that title. Lisa Au... Sister Lisa also doesn't seem to like that title and always asks me to call her'Sister.'
Sister Shenhe, can you have a younger brother or sister for me?"
Hearing little Klee's innocent words, everyone couldn't help but smile, and the courtyard was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Shenhe also unconsciously caressed her lower abdomen, her eyes full of tenderness.
Ganyu quietly reminded, "Shenhe, holding a wedding is a big event.
I think it's necessary to inform Master and the several True Monarchs and invite them over to discuss it."
Ganyu's reminder was very timely, and Shenhe immediately reacted, nodding, "You're right, I should indeed inform Master.
Speaking of which, I haven't contacted Master in a long time; I really shouldn't have."
Yelan chuckled, "This is Madam Shenhe and Regent's big day, so the livelier, the better.
Why not take this opportunity to invite all your relatives and friends from Liyue?
I heard Madam Shenhe still has relatives in Liyue; that exorcist named Chongyun even has to call you 'Little Auntie.'"
Hu Tao said, "That's a good idea.
The Liyue wedding tradition is that the more blessings you receive, the better.
I can contribute our Zhongli from Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
Don't let his youth fool you; his personality is like an old antique, proficient in all kinds of etiquette.
Being a wedding officiant would be no problem for him."
Shenhe, Ei, Sara, Chiyo, Miko, and Ganyu, who knew Zhongli's true identity, all showed strange expressions.
Having Lord Rex Lapis preside over the wedding... this... this idea... is too brilliant!
Shenhe still hesitated slightly, saying, "This... isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Hu Tao generously stated, "We're all friends, what's inappropriate about it?
Anyway, he's either always in debt or on his way to accrue more debt.
I just can't stand his idle behavior, so it's better to let him do more.
Besides, if he doesn't agree, I won't pay his bills, hmph!"
Yelan also seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, what about the Regent's people?
He previously told me he was from some Konoha Village, but I've been in Inazuma for so long and haven't found a village called Konoha Village."
Sara interjected, "Konoha Village? You must have misremembered.
It should be Higi Village, right?
That village was completely destroyed during the Inazuma civil war two years ago due to the conflict and the corrosion of the Tatarigami.
The villagers either died or fled.
Now, the Takatsukasa Family is leading the people in reconstruction efforts on Yashiori Island.
Master once told me that the Uchiha Clan suffered such a great disaster that he is the only one left in the entire clan.
I'm afraid there are no suitable public officials to step forward."
Shenhe quickly comforted, "Sister Sara, don't be sad.
Don't we still have us now? We can definitely make the Uchiha Clan glorious again."
Sara quickly waved her hand, saying, "You are the Matriarch personally appointed by Master, so naturally, you are the most respected in the inner court.
I should be calling you'Sister' instead."
Shenhe expressed her dissatisfaction, "We are all one family; why be so clear-cut?
You are older than me and were ahead of me in that matter, so what's wrong with me calling you'Sister'?
Miko looked at Sara with a mischievous smile and asked, "Oh? Which matter is that?"
As soon as Miko said this, it immediately made Sara recall the events of that night, instantly turning her ears red.
She looked at Miko with annoyance, then told Shenhe that rules cannot be broken.
In large families, harmony, and proper respect for hierarchy are essential conditions for the family's prosperity.
Sara grew up in the Kujou Clan and was naturally very familiar with the intricacies within large families.
Although strict family rules and traditions might lead to a lack of warmth, from a long-term perspective, what hinders the rise of a family's fortune is never poverty, but internal strife.
The saying 'wealthy families last no more than three generations, farming and scholarly families no more than five generations, while families of poetry, books, rites, and music can last for more than ten generations' illustrates this very principle.
At this moment, Miko suggested, "Alright, since the little one's side has no elders, then why not let Ei, as the God of Inazuma, stand in?
After all, strictly speaking, all citizens of Inazuma are Ei's children, so it's reasonable for Ei to step forward."
Miko's suggestion was reasonable and immediately received everyone's approval.
After a moment of consideration, Ei also agreed to the matter.
This means that Miyashiro's wedding will have the Raiden Shogun as the elder and the Geo Archon as the officiant.
Just these two titles alone are enough to shock the world, not to mention a large number of other important figures in attendance.
It can be said that this wedding will become a grand event for Teyvat, and Inazuma will also use this event to re-declare its status in Teyvat, no longer the notorious, obscure, remote small nation it once was.
