Chapter 56: The Marquis's Adopted Daughter and the Cold Prince 28

Ning Changting hung his outer robe on the rack and said, "She is the only princess in the royal family who is old enough to marry into the royal family. Your Majesty has no choice. Under the imperial power, that little bit of family affection and love is nothing."

Moreover, over the past year or so, Princess Qiongxia has been plagued by strange things. One can even smell a foul odor when approaching her. The cause is really unclear.

I'm afraid that the love in His Majesty's heart has almost been worn out.

Of course, if he wanted to influence the princess' marriage, he would need to use some shady tricks in the court, but Ning Changting did not tell Cha Jiu about this.

He selfishly hoped that he would always be clean in Cha Jiu's mind.

Ning Changting walked behind Cha Jiu, leaned over, hugged her gently from behind, and kissed the top of her head.

"Yanshu, I will never let anyone hurt you and the children again."

His kiss lingered and returned.

Cha Jiu's ears trembled and his back felt numb due to his regular breathing.

"Changting..."

This coquettish, soft and tender voice went straight into Ning Changting's ears like an alluring silk thread, making his throat dry.

He swept the things on the dressing table aside, picked up Cha Jiu and placed her on the table, tasting her lightly.

As soft as a sugar cake, and as sweet as it was back then.

Ning Changting allowed his rationality to sink deeply, and he indulged and wantonly plundered every inch of her territory.

…

In the spring of the new year, Cha Jiu became pregnant with triplets.

In the same year, after giving birth to more than a dozen children in succession, Shen Chi Su's health finally collapsed and she died of a dystocia.

Before she died, she seemed to hear the gentle and caring voice of Lady Ninghou in her ears.

"Chisu, Chisu wake up, let's try Fuguangjin, I plan to make a dress for you, so that you can wear it and go to the palace with Changting to thank her, okay?"

Shen Chi Su's cloudy eyes shone with light, and her dry, cracked lips moved silently.

She wanted to say yes, she was willing to marry Ning Changting.

The pedantic rules and vulgar splendor that she once looked down upon have now become things that she desires but cannot obtain.

Endless regret filled her heart and accompanied her until the last moment of her life.

…

When they first learned that Cha Jiu was pregnant with triplets, everyone in the Marquis' Mansion was very worried.

After all, at that time, few pregnant women could give birth to triplets safely. Dystocia and persistent lochia were very common in giving birth to multiple babies.

Lady Ninghou tossed and turned all night, and finally made up her mind. She discussed with Chajiu, "Yanshu, why don't we just not have this child? Giving birth to a child is like going through hell, let alone triplets. I'm afraid..."

Cha Jiu was still somewhat surprised to hear these words coming out of Lady Ning's mouth.

After all, what Ning Hou's wife cares most about is Ning Changting and the children in the marquis's mansion.

But now, she was willing to give up the child and keep Cha Jiu safe.

In fact, after so many years of getting along, Lady Ninghou had long since let go of all her prejudices and treated Chajiu as her own daughter and took good care of her.

It is already a great blessing for the Marquis's Mansion to have Rui'er and Chunrui.

She didn't want to ask for anything else, she just hoped that Changting and Chajiu could live in peace and love for the rest of their lives.

Cha Jiu smiled gently and comforted Lady Ning: "Mother, don't worry, the child and I will be safe."

On the day Cha Jiu was born, everyone in the mansion was very nervous. Not only Ning Changting and Ning Hou's wife, but even the old lady stayed up all night and refused to sleep, waiting anxiously outside the delivery room.

Giving birth to triplets is really too much of a suspense.

There are also many ladies from aristocratic families in the capital who are paying attention to Cha Jiu's birth. However, unlike the worries of the Marquis' Mansion, they silently pray that Cha Jiu will encounter some accidents during this birth...

In this way, their daughter will have the opportunity to marry into the Marquis of Jingyuan's Mansion.

But in the end, they were disappointed.

In the middle of the night, Cha Jiu safely gave birth to three children, two brothers and a sister.

Ning Changting finally put down his anxious heart, rushed into the room, hugged Cha Jiu and said: "Yanshu, we will never have any more children in the future."

He was scared.

The old lady and Lady Ninghou cried with joy.

One was for Cha Jiu's safe birth, and the other was that they had never imagined that a few years ago they were still worried about Ning Changting's marriage, but now, the Marquis's mansion could have many children and be filled with joy!

Isn't this a blessing from heaven and a manifestation of the ancestors' spirit?

The noble families in the capital also gave up completely.

Send my daughter in to have children

Just go to bed. Ning Changting's wife is doing well. It has nothing to do with them.

Ning Changting named his two sons Ning Chengli and Ning Chenglan, and his youngest daughter Ning Chunyuan.

Cha Jiu looked at the character "Li" and said, "This child will definitely have a hard time learning how to write his name in the future."

The system also interrupted: "The name Chunyuan is not good either. It sounds like a short-lived white moonlight."

However, this person did not guess correctly in the end.

Ning Chengli was a man of great talent. He knew a thousand words at the age of three, was reading poetry books at the age of four, could compose poetry at the age of seven, and won the top spot in the imperial examination at the age of seventeen.

This direct career path is even better than Ning Changting's back then.

Ning Chunyuan was bold and lively by nature. She did not want to marry and become a concubine at an early age. She asked Cha Jiu for some money and went south to wander around. She became a famous cloth merchant's wife and the richest person in Jiangnan.

Eventually, she fell in love with a business partner and they got married. They lived a life of deep love and happiness.

Rui'er followed Marquis Jingyuan and became a famous young general.

Although Chunrui failed to break through the constraints of the court and become the female top scholar, she eventually became the only female aide to Taisun and contributed strategies for state affairs.

She eventually married her grandson.

Later, the prince ascended the throne and changed the country's name to Tianyuan.

As the year was coming to an end, Chunrui and Chunyuan both brought their children back to the mansion. Together with the children of the other three brothers, the huge mansion suddenly became crowded and noisy.

In the yard, the little children were chattering and playing snowball fights. Each of them was wearing a red robe sewn by Lady Ninghou herself. They looked like a group of little flames running in the snow, which was very festive.

Ning Changting was leisurely drinking tea in the octagonal pavilion.

Suddenly, a small flame crouched at his feet and lifted up his white robe.
