Early in the morning, Ying Zheng arrived at Consort Shu's palace.

Consort Shu curtsied and said, "Your Majesty, I greet you!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand, "No need for formalities."

Consort Shu asked with some confusion, "Shouldn't His Majesty be preparing to go to the morning court? Why has he come to my humble abode?"

Ying Zheng replied calmly, "It's nothing, I just suddenly missed your lotus seed soup, so I came over."

Consort Shu looked delighted. "Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I will prepare it for you right away."

I thought His Majesty had long forgotten me, but now it seems that His Majesty still cares about me.

Women need to have their own strength to win a man's heart.

Ying Zheng looked around. "Where is Yu'er?"

Consort Shu looked into the inner room. "They're inside."

"I'm going to see her. You go and do your work."

"promise!"

It seems that being able to have a good child is a kind of achievement.

The little one is lying in the crib, showing off his milk.

Gold, silver, jade bracelets, chicken legs, duck legs, and big pork legs.

They're all mine!

Hearing those heartfelt words, Ying Zheng smiled.

What's going on in this kid's head?

He walked to the crib and beckoned to Ying Ziyu, "Drinking?"

Upon seeing Ying Zheng, Ying Ziyu's eyes lit up.

Here it comes, my gold!

Ying Zheng: ...

I am a father, not gold.

【Give it back! Give it back to me! You promised to give it back to me!】

I'll give it back to you. Do you think I'm the kind of person who would covet your little bit of gold?

As he spoke, Ying Zheng reached into his robes.

After fumbling around for a while, he looked at Ying Ziyu and said, "Yu'er, if your father says your gold lock has been broken, how about I get you a new one?"

[Did it fall? That one was special.]

The little guy's eyes have lost their light.

Since birth, he has been absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, slowly recovering his divine power.

That golden lock was blessed by his divine power.

Seeing the little guy's tears welling up and his expression of utter despair, Ying Zheng quickly took out the golden lock, "Here, here, Daddy was just joking with you!"

Ying Zheng gripped the golden lock tightly.

I really hate to part with it!

But isn't it wrong to snatch things from a child?

It's still his own son.

Struggling with his thoughts, Ying Zheng reluctantly put down the golden lock.

The little guy's eyes lit up again.

He held the gold lock in both hands, beaming with joy.

[I'm back!]

My only gold!

This kid isn't as happy to see me as he is to see this golden lock.

Forget it, this little darling is a rare gem, let's just treat him like royalty!

Ying Zheng looked at Ying Ziyu with gentle eyes, "Is your father here to see you specially? Are you happy?"

[You came specifically to see me? Then my gift...]

"This is the third time Dad has come to see you and brought you a gift. See if you like it."

Before Ying Ziyu could cry and demand a gift, Ying Zheng took out a jade box.

Strike first and take the lead.

My dear father! You are so wonderful!

Quick! Let me see what this treasure is!

Ying Zheng opened the jade box. "Let's see the first gift. Oh, it's a gold lock!"

Ying Zheng placed the golden lock on Ying Ziyu's head.

The little guy reached up to hug his head.

[So heavy! You're really my dad!]

Sending love!

Making a heart shape with your hands?

It should mean "happy", right?

Ying Zheng continued reaching into the jade box, "Now let's look at the second gift, oh! It's another gold lock!"

Ying Zheng placed the golden lock to the left of Ying Ziyu.

The little guy tried hard to turn his head to look.

What a huge piece of gold!

Ying Zheng continued pulling out gifts, "The third gift, oh! It's another gold lock!"

Ying Zheng placed the golden lock to the right of Ying Ziyu.

【ah?】

Why are they all gold locks?

Ying Zheng then took out the fourth one, "The last one is another golden lock!"

He placed the gold locks under Ying Ziyu's little feet, forming an encirclement with the four gold locks.

[Whatever, it's all gold anyway!]

Ying Zheng smiled and looked at the baby, "Does Yu'er like it?"

The little guy nodded earnestly with a smile on his face.

【like!】

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "If you like them, that's good. Let's forge them all into powerful magical artifacts."

Looking at the master craftsman who forged magical artifacts in the crib...

Pooh!

Seeing his adorable son so happy in the crib, Ying Zheng felt a surge of joy.

Of course, part of the reason is that the Qin Dynasty may gain four more exceptionally powerful magical artifacts.

Ying Zheng suddenly revealed a fatherly look in his eyes, "If only Yu'er were a little older."

That should allow us to forge more magical artifacts.

What a pity.

One cannot be installed in every part of the palace.

My dad's gaze towards me is getting even gentler. Cute kids are just so lovable!

Ying Zheng: I like it!

I'd like it even more if I could grow up faster!

After putting down the golden lock, Ying Zheng suddenly said, "Yu'er, how about Daddy takes you somewhere to play?"

The little guy pouted, turned his head away from Ying Zheng, and looked very disgusted.

I'm not going; I don't want to move.

"If you don't speak, I'll take that as a yes."

Ying Zheng picked up Ying Ziyu in one swift motion.

【？？？？】

Consort Shu returned with the lotus seed soup and saw that Ying Zheng had already picked up Ying Ziyu, a smile on his face. "Your Majesty, the soup is here."

Ying Zheng held the little guy in his arms, but was reluctant to let go, fearing that the little guy might change his mind.

After thinking for a moment, he looked at Consort Shu and said, "You feed me, it's inconvenient for me to be holding Yu'er."

Consort Shu gave a meaningful smile, "Good!"

devil!

If you want me to feed you, just say so.

They're still making excuses.
