Helian Jue didn't say anything, he just told Qin Yanning.

When Jin'er and Yu'er grow older, no matter which of them can shoulder the burden of the world, he will quickly abdicate.

Then he could take Qin Yanning to travel around.

Qin Yanning looked at Jin'er and Yu'er, who were only a few months old, and a feeling of sympathy suddenly surged in his heart.

But for the sake of her happy second half of life as a mother, when better to push her child forward than now?

Parents’ happiness must be based on their children’s “pain”, which will make them happier!

Soon it was March, and the wedding of Qin Erge and Ning Yu was scheduled for March 16th.

Originally, Helian Jue wanted to take Qin Yanning out of the palace to attend Qin's second brother's wedding, but Qin Yanning thought about it and decided to refuse Helian Jue's kindness.

Naturally, the Qin family’s wedding would not invite many dignitaries, after all, the Qin family has been dealing with crops for most of their lives.

If she and Helian Jue went, those friends and neighbors in the village would feel very restrained.

However, before the formal wedding, Qin Yanning summoned Qin Erge and Ning Yu.

This was the first time Qin Yanning met her second sister-in-law.

I have to say that Wan Bao has a good eye. Ning Yu is indeed a beautiful lady. She was a little reserved when she first met Qin Yanning.

Qin Yanning didn't care about these things. He kept the two of them in the palace for dinner before asking Eunuch Wang to send someone to send them home.

On March 16th, although Qin Yanning and Helian Jue did not return to the Qin family to attend the wedding, they gave a lot of gifts to express their importance.

Three years later, Ganning Palace.

Qin Yanning stood under the porch and watched Jin'er and Yu'er swinging on the swing. A gust of wind blew, and the peach blossoms beside the swing fell on the two children, making the two naughty monkeys laugh.

The appearance of the Ganning Palace has changed a lot today. In the past, the gardens in the palace were all dry landscapes. After Qin Yanning gave birth to a child and had free time, she moved a lot of flowers and trees in.

Later, when the two children grew up, Qin Yanning asked people to prepare swings, see-saws, wooden horses and other toys. Now the Qianning Palace Garden is a Chinese-style children's playground.

But who made Helian Jue happy? You know, after the coronation ceremony, Qin Yanning was supposed to move to Kunning Palace, but Helian Jue forced her to stay.

The Empress Dowager didn't care about Helian Jue, so Qin Yanning simply stayed there.

"My lady, there's a letter from Miss Zhuang Nian!" Song Xue rushed in trotting with a letter in her hand.

After Concubine Zhuang left the palace, Qin Yanning asked the people around him to change the way they addressed her.

Today, Zhuang Nian is no longer a concubine trapped in the deep palace seeking love but unable to get it. She is now the founder of the Northern United Girls' School.

Since she went to the northern border, she wrote to Qin Yanning every month, sometimes asking for advice on school management issues, and sometimes telling her about the scenery of the northern border.

Although Qin Yanning had followed Helian Jue out of the palace several times in recent years, he still had a yearning for the northern border where "the sun sets over the long river".

Qin Yanning took the letter from Songxue and started reading it. As she read it, she was stunned.

Yu'er walked over to Qin Yanning with her short legs, tugged at the corner of Qin Yanning's clothes, and asked in a baby voice, "Mother, what did Aunt Zhuang write?"

Concubine Zhuang often sent small gifts to Jin'er and Yu'er, so the two children had a good impression of this aunt whom they had never met in their memory.

Seeing this, Jin'er jumped off the swing and walked to Qin Yanning's side.

Qin Yanning folded the letter paper, squatted down and looked at the two little guys.

Yu'er has a rosy little face, and Jin'er is not as dark as when she was a child. Now they are both lovely little babies with bright eyes and white teeth.

Qin Yanning couldn't help but pinch their little faces.

"Your Aunt Zhuang said she's getting married."

"What does getting married mean?" Yu'er blinked her eyes to show that she didn't know what it meant.

"My sister is stupid. Getting married means you will be like our father and mother, living together in a big house." Jin'er took Yu'er's hand and explained patiently.

Yu'er nodded, not quite understanding.

"Will Aunt Zhuang also have a baby? Just like Cousin Rui and the others!"

"Then we'll have other brothers!"

Qin Yanning couldn't help but hold his forehead when he heard this. It wasn't until the beginning of this year that Qin Erge and Ning Yu found out they were pregnant after they got married.

Rui, the eldest brother's son, was originally much older than Jin'er and Yu'er. Although the younger one, Yun'er, was a few hours younger than Yu'er, he was unwilling to admit that he was the younger brother.

This led Yu'er to always think that other couples' children were her brothers.

Song Yue couldn't help laughing when she heard the little princess say that. She squatted down, picked up Yu'er and said, "If Miss Zhuang gets pregnant in the future, she will be our princess's brother or sister."

Yu'er looked at her mother, then at her brother, and let out a long "oh" to show that she understood.

After receiving this letter from Zhuang Nian, Qin Yanning felt it was both unexpected and reasonable.

Zhuang Nian was going to marry a young general from the northern border named Xu Yan, who was three years younger than her.

Qin Yanning could no longer remember when General Xu began to appear frequently in Zhuang Nian's letters.

At first, she just complained to Qin Yanning about Xu Yan's noisy behavior. When he was not on duty, he often came to the girls' school to find her and always got in the way of her work.

In later letters, Zhuang Nian complained less about Xu Yan, and even sent Jin'er and Yu'er a small wooden toy carved by General Xu himself.

Qin Yanning knew that General Xu was in love with Zhuang Nian. Now that the lovers had finally gotten married, she was also happy.

"Songxue, go to the warehouse and pick out some gifts for Miss Zhuang. Remember to choose good things."

Qin Yanning always remembered the night when Tingyuxuan caught fire and how Concubine Zhuang helped him. She also remembered the carefree time they spent at the mahjong table, and even more so, the fox furs she gave to the two children.

Now that Zhuang Nian has found a home, she must give him a big gift.

Songxue responded and retreated. Songxue has become much calmer now, and many things inside and outside the Ganning Palace are handled by her.

Lu Yuan also successfully passed Qin Yanning's assessment, and their wedding date is set for this winter.

When Jin'er heard that Qin Yanning was going to give Zhuang Nian a gift, she said seriously, "Mother, Jin'er also wants to give Aunt Zhuang a gift!"

Aunt Zhuang often sent him toys, and he wanted to be a person of reciprocity like his father and mother.

When Qin Yanning heard Jin'er say this, she suddenly laughed. Her son was really smart.

Since her brother wanted to give a gift, Yu'er was not to be left behind. She immediately raised the jade pendant around her neck and said, "Yu'er, give this to Auntie."

The jade pendant on Yu'er's neck was specially carved from warm jade by Helian Jue. Yu'er usually loved it very much, but now she was willing to give it up with great reluctance.

Qin Yanning repeatedly praised the two children for being sensible, but his stomach felt churning.
