He had a difficult delivery and he wished that Your Majesty could be by his side at that time, but Your Majesty was not there.

It was the several pregnant young men who encouraged him. The four of them did not have any tit-for-tat confrontation, as they were all waiting for His Majesty's return.

He gave birth to three princesses, Nangong Ling gave birth to two princesses, Meng Ziyi gave birth to two princesses and one prince, and Ye Daohe only gave birth to one princess.

The children were almost all the same age as each other, and there was only one prince, so almost everyone doted on him.

"Father, father, is the Queen Mother coming back?" Three identical little princesses ran over, looking dirty.

Shen Baiqiu was a little angry when he saw how dirty these people looked. These kids were too naughty and didn't listen at all.

Moreover, they are princesses of the emperor and are greatly doted upon by the ministers. No one can discipline them at all and they are almost lawless.

When Chao Yan went out to fight, the important affairs of the country naturally fell on the Prime Minister and the Minister of Justice. Of course, they were mainly managed by the people in the cabinet.

"Yes, where are you going again? Didn't you go to the academy?" Shen Baiqiu frowned. Were you skipping school again?

He really can't take care of it. Your Majesty, please come back soon.

"Father, no, we didn't skip school, no," the three little kids shook their heads.

"Wait until your queen mother comes back and let her deal with you," Shen Baiqiu threatened. The three little guys snorted coldly and ran away like little cannonballs.

Father keeps saying these things every day. It’s so annoying. When will the Queen Mother come back? They have been born for so long and have never seen the Queen Mother.

But they all knew that the Queen Mother had gone to war and would be back soon.

…

On the day Asagao came back, Kyoto was full of people. Her majestic appearance dazzled many men.

"Is the leader our Majesty?"

"Your Majesty is so handsome?"

"Your Majesty, you are even more handsome than before. I have been to the palace for selection before and have seen Your Majesty from afar."

"No, you went to the palace for the selection? When did that happen? Why didn't I participate in the selection? Is His Majesty still participating in the selection? I want to participate!"

"Your Majesty is so powerful. It only took him five years to defeat the other four countries. Hahahaha, so powerful, so powerful."

"Then from now on, it will only be our Fengyuan Nation!"

"That's right, there is no longer any Beining Kingdom, Xuelai Kingdom, or anything like that. There is only our Fengyuan Kingdom. Long live His Majesty!"

The people lined the streets to welcome him, shouting "Long live His Majesty..."

There were also many brave men who threw their purses at the soldiers.

But no one threw it to Chaoyan, they didn't dare.

That's His Majesty, they don't have that much courage.

All the officials were already waiting for Chao Yan's return at the palace gate.

"Welcome back, His Majesty," they all knelt in unison, and many people who came to watch the fun also knelt on the ground.

"Everyone stand up," Chao Yan said, and was welcomed into the palace. The people stretched their necks to see.

After all, they couldn't see the emperor anymore after he entered the palace. It was so rare to see His Majesty.

They must want to see His Majesty's face.

As soon as I saw it, my goodness, is this our Majesty?

Is the god descending to earth?

So beautiful?

He is fair and tender, tall and majestic, worthy of being their Majesty.

"Your Majesty, during the years when you were away fighting, everything was fine in the country and the people lived and worked in peace. This is all thanks to Your Majesty," the prime minister and other ministers followed behind to report.

"Okay, I'll report all this at the court tomorrow morning," Chao Yan said, saying that she wanted to go back and rest, as she hadn't had a good rest for a long time.

All the officials hurriedly saw Chao Yan off. However, they were too anxious. The emperor had just returned and was not likely to listen to their words. The most important thing was for him to have a good rest first.

In the harem, several young men had been waiting for a long time, as well as several princesses and princes.

"Father, why hasn't the Queen Mother come yet?" asked the little princess Chao Xiaoliu, also known as Meng Ziyi. They had been waiting for a long time.

Early this morning, before dawn, her father couldn't wait to wake her up and wait for her mother to come back.

"Your Majesty, please go and meet these young men. They have been waiting for you in the harem for a long time." When Chief Steward Zhang knew that Chao Yan had returned, he was the first to go to the palace gate to wait.

"Well, go and take a look, and take all the spoils with you." She wouldn't need them anyway, so it would be nice to give them to a few men as rewards.

"His Majesty has arrived!"

Several men looked ahead with excitement and anticipation, and saw Chao Yan wearing armor, an appearance they had never seen before.

"Your Majesty," several men saluted, and the children followed suit, secretly looking at Asagao. Is this maternal love?

It looks so powerful and handsome, even more handsome than my father!

Fathers: ...

"Everyone, stand up," Chao Yan helped a few people up. "Thank you for your hard work. The children are already so big!"

Looking at so many little kids, are they all her children?

Very good, very satisfied.

"Queen Mother?" The little ones looked at Chao Yan curiously.

"Oh, they are all my good children," Chao Yan touched the little heads of several children.

"Your Majesty, you have returned exhausted. Would you like to take a bath and change your clothes first?" Ye Daohe couldn't help but tear up when he saw the blood on his battle robe.

"Okay, go to the Zichen Palace and wait for me," the Zichen Palace is the palace where Chao Yan lives.

"Yes, Your Majesty," several men responded obediently.

Chaoyan naturally went to the Zichen Palace. After changing clothes and washing up, Chaoyan felt much better.

Don’t even mention it. Fighting is not a human thing. It’s exhausting for her.

Several little kids are discussing something.

"The Queen Mother is so beautiful, I like her."

"What's the point of looking good? We are grown women. We need to be as brave as our mother and defeat other countries."

"That's right, the Queen Mother is so powerful. She defeated all other countries. Hahahaha."

"What are you talking about?" Chaoyan saw the kids laughing.

"Queen Mother, Queen Mother, we praise you for your bravery. You are so amazing," Xiao Chao and Xiao Qi said.

"Your Majesty, these are the three princesses born to me, the sixth princess, the seventh princess, and the eighth prince. They haven't been named yet. They are waiting for Your Majesty to come back and name them," Meng Ziyi waved the children over.

"Your Majesty, these are the princesses I gave birth to. The eldest, second, and third princesses, wuwuwu. Your Majesty didn't know about them. They all had difficult births at the time, wuwuwu." Shen Baiqiu started crying as he spoke. Chao Yan hugged her in his arms. "It's my fault, my fault. I should have come back earlier."

"Shame on you, father, shame on you," the three princesses laughed, and Shen Baiqiu's face immediately turned red with anger and shame.

"This is the ninth princess born to me," Ye Daohe said gently. He only had one princess, and he didn't have as many children as others. But now that His Majesty is back, he will have to have more children in the future. Thinking of this, his face turned red.

"Okay, you are all good," Chaoyan nodded. Alas, it was difficult for these people.
