Chapter 555 The Emperor Has an Heir, and the Ministers Are Even Happier Than the Emperor.

Seeing his gloomy face, Xiao Tang chuckled and patted his cheek lightly.

"Oh dear, look at this pitiful thing. Be good, give me some time, and I'll go back."

"how long?"

Xiao Tang grunted in response but did not reply.

How long? Half a year if it's short? Or...?

His face visibly darkened.

Clearly, this was not the answer he wanted.

Having finally recovered from the five-year separation, no one would accept that she's saying there are still six months or maybe longer to go.

He pinched her chin.

He lifted her fair face.

She had no choice but to meet his gaze.

"Are you angry?" Xiao Tang said pitifully.

Her pink lips pouted.

Otherwise, why don't you take the child with you first?

I'm going to give this damn system a good beating.

His warm breath brushed against her cheek, deep and alluring, "I won't be angry."

I will never be angry with her.

He was just angry at himself.

"One day I will carry you on my shoulders and walk away."

Xiao Tang: "Huh?"

Although this sounds incredibly rude, can we please not be so rude?

Let's talk this out.

That night.

The main villain didn't leave.

Xiao Tang woke up in the middle of the night and vaguely heard noises outside.

The people around her courtyard had long been replaced by Di Jingling's, so she didn't have to worry about any spies when discussing anything in her courtyard.

Unable to sleep, she slowly got up and went to the door to eavesdrop.

It was Yan Shi who was speaking.

"Your Majesty, the ministers in the palace are urging you to return as soon as possible. Let's set off as soon as possible."

"Judging from the ministers' opinions, it would be better to take Da Bao back and raise him properly."

They should be properly nurtured.

Those ministers who were always worrying about the emperor's offspring were really thinking about it very carefully. Now that they heard that the emperor already had an heir, they went crazy.

Happier than the Emperor himself?

In response to Yan Shi's question, Di Jingling gave a soft "hmm": "Once you're all ready, we'll set off for the palace tomorrow. You stay here with her."

He naturally kept in mind what Xiao Tang had said during the day.

However, he would never let the separation last that long.

Yan Shi agreed.

After their conversation ended, the two seemed to be heading inside.

Xiao Tang exclaimed, "Oh my god!"

Then he hurriedly ran to his bed and huddled up there.

When Di Jingling pushed open the door, he saw that the embroidered shoes he had placed so neatly had been kicked to the left and right, with the right one even landing on the table.

She was lying on top of it, her feet sticking out.

Di Jingling withdrew his gaze, and even though he had seen through her behavior, he did not expose her.

I put her shoes back on the bedside and arranged them neatly.

The emperor of a nation had actually stooped to the point of bending down to straighten his wife's shoes.

He himself did not think there was anything wrong with it, and was even quite proud of it.

Xiao Tang secretly opened her left eye and saw Di Jingling's every move, which greatly shocked her.

It's definitely her little darling.

He even deliberately arranged her shoes neatly.

She was really surprised.

While she was still moved, a weight suddenly pressed down on her, almost making it hard for her to breathe.

Xiao Tang's lips twitched slightly.

[What the hell are you doing, playing that "Mount Tai Pressing Down" game in the middle of the night?!]

"Tangtang?"

What's infuriating is that the man called her softly.

Calling her by name is one thing, but calling her in such an incredibly gentle tone—what does that even mean?

"You... cough cough cough, you're crushing me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the weight on his body was removed.

Xiao Tang rolled over, pointing at him accusingly, "Di Jingling, I'm going to make you..."

"Shh." He pulled her small hand down and gently reminded her, "Don't wake the child."

Xiao Bao slept next door today too.

No matter how Xiao Tang tried to persuade him, the child insisted on staying with his brothers.

Having no other choice, they had to have the maid install a new small bed for Xiaobao.

Xiao Bao is a girl after all, and it's not suitable for her to squeeze in with her brothers.

Di Jingling knew that Xiao Tang was afraid to shout, but in fact, she did not shout. In the end, she could only put her fingers down blankly.

She moved her red lips slightly before saying softly, "Why did you flirt with me when you're leaving? Humph."

"You can't bear to part with me?"

"That's true." She replied without hesitation.

Who would be willing to part with that?

Such a wonderful husband is right in front of me.

Xiao Tang's red lips pursed slightly, her expressions quite varied.

Playful as she is, her heart was already overflowing with reluctance when she learned that they had to part ways.

Even though she knew this moment would come sooner or later.

Di Jingling kissed her forehead. "Tangtang, be good. Give me some time. I'll come to pick you up soon."

Xiao Tang didn't understand.

She also wanted to say that she would go back to see him soon.

After all...

All she cares about is completing the task.

The time together was too short, and she was too sad.

Di Jingling carefully pulled her into his arms. "Will you be unhappy if I take Da Bao away?"

"ah?"

Are you really taking him away?

"Then you've committed a foul."

[The children should be treated equally. If you're going to take the older child home to nurture them, you should also take the younger child home with you.]

"Only when both kids are together can you be considered to have fulfilled your duty as a father."

Di Jingling pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, take them both with you."

Xiao Tang was worried that if he took the two children with him, things wouldn't go smoothly the next day.
