Chapter 142 Xie Jingxing brought his son to see Xiao Qiuqiu!

As for the Third Prince and the Sixth Prince.

The emperor's feelings are different.

The Emperor could not be as ruthless towards the Third Prince as he was towards the Sixth Prince.

Moreover, although the Third Prince committed many crimes, he did not exhibit any obvious acts of rebellion.

So the emperor exiled him to the frontier, and after the New Year he went to his fiefdom, and was not allowed to return to the capital unless summoned!

Upon receiving the decree, the entire court fell silent.

Everyone knew that the Third Prince was finished!

The two princes were dealt with.

The emperor closed his eyes, clearly furious.

There was also disappointment with Crown Prince Xiao Qingxuan.

He could deal with the Third Prince, so why choose this time?

Chinese New Year is almost here...

Originally, out of respect for the Empress, they planned to let him move back to the East Palace during the New Year.

For now, he should just stay outside the palace and live a good life!

As Xiao Qingxuan walked out of the Golden Palace, fine snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

He took a deep breath of the cold air and felt the weight in his chest lift away.

He won, and won cleanly and decisively!

He did not linger in the palace and went straight back to his residence as the Crown Prince.

Inside the main hall, the charcoal fire burned warmly, dispelling the chill brought in from outside.

Upon seeing Xiao Qingxuan enter, Qian Yueshu calmly rose, bowed respectfully, and said in a calm and steady voice, "Congratulations, Your Highness, the overall situation is settled."

Xiao Qingxuan walked to the window and looked at the increasingly dense snowflakes falling outside, his gaze somewhat complicated.

Qian Yueshu probably knew what he was thinking and advised, "Your Highness, you are not dealing with your brothers, but with the clean water that washes away the filth of the court and sweeps away the parasites of the country. A ruler should have the heart of a bodhisattva, to have compassion for all the people; he should also have the ruthless means to eliminate evil and protect the country."

Xiao Qingxuan didn't speak, but simply rested his head gently on her shoulder.

His moon is so beautiful!

The 29th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Xie Jingxing has been divorced from Qian Yueqiu for some time now.

Except at the very beginning.

Xie Jingxing was somewhat angry.

But now Xie Jingxing finds himself missing Qian Yueqiu a little.

now.

Xie Jingxing stood by the window of his study, gazing at the old plum tree in the courtyard.

The red plum blossoms are in full bloom, covered by a thin layer of snow in the biting cold wind, like rouge on a piece of white silk.

He suddenly remembered that at this time last year, Qian Yueqiu, who was pregnant, stood under this plum tree.

She wore an apricot-yellow silk jacket, with a newly picked red plum blossom in her hair. She turned back to him and smiled, "Ah Xing, is the plum blossom prettier, or am I prettier?"

"Of course you're prettier." He quickly stepped forward to support her, his tone reproachful, but his eyes held a smile: "You're about to become a mother, and you're still so concerned about your appearance."

"Yes, it's just about loving beauty!" she replied with a radiant smile.

The plum trees remain, the flowers bloom and fade, but everything has changed.

My two sons are just starting to talk now.

They can call him "Daddy" now.

But they won't call out, "Mother!"

After all, Qian Yueqiu's name was taboo in the Xie family after she was divorced.

The wet nurse in the Xie family only taught them: "Father!"

Furthermore, babies around ten months old don't say many words; they only know these two words.

Actually, he didn't mind them calling him "Mother".

But he couldn't say it.

They were even more embarrassed to ask the wet nurse to teach them.

Qian Yueqiu?

He's been thinking about her a lot lately.

I don't know why?

It wasn't like that at first, but in the last few days, her voice and smile have been constantly in my mind.

It's probably Chinese New Year.

He also longs for his family to be reunited!

Looking back now, she killed Su Zhirou and Liu Yu.

Actually, he also bears some responsibility!

If he weren't so promiscuous...

That's just how people are.

Once you realize you've fallen in love with someone, you'll make excuses for her!

This realization left Xie Jingxing somewhat embarrassed!

“Father…”

"Father!"

A childish voice called from outside the door, interrupting his thoughts.

Xie Jingxing's expression softened unconsciously as he turned to look at the doorway.

The wet nurse, Wang, walked in carrying two exquisitely beautiful babies.

These are his twin sons, Xie Ganlang and Xie Ganjue, ten months old, just at the age when they are learning to speak.

The two children were dressed in identical red brocade jackets with snow-white fox fur collars, looking like two lucky babies straight out of a New Year's painting.

Xie Ganlang first stretched out his chubby little hands, wanting a hug from Xie Jingxing: "Daddy..."

Xie Ganjue, not to be outdone, bounced around in his wet nurse's arms, calling out, "Daddy, Daddy!"

Xie Jingxing's heart instantly softened like a pool of spring water.

He reached out and took both sons, holding one in each arm.

The children smelled of milk, and their soft faces pressed against his cheeks, which eased much of his recent frustrations.

"My dear Lang'er, my dear Jue'er," he coaxed softly, gently rubbing the children's delicate little faces with the stubble on his chin, making them giggle.

The two wet nurses chuckled, "These two young masters are so clever and quick-witted; they're calling 'Daddy' more and more clearly now."

Xie Jingxing teased his son, "Call me Daddy, say it again."

"Daddy!" the two children said in unison. Although their pronunciation was not very clear, their soft, sweet voices were enough to melt any hardened heart.

Xie Jingxing suddenly remembered something and gently guided, "Then... what about Mother? Call her Mother?"

The two children blinked their big, dark eyes and looked at him in confusion. They opened their mouths, but couldn't make the sound.

Xie Ganjue tried to utter a few indistinct syllables, but in the end it all came out as: "Father...Father..."

Although the child remained at the Xie residence.

But Qian Yueshu fought for visitation rights for Qian Yueshu.

I spend two months of the year at the Qian family's house.

It's Chinese New Year.

The Qian family needs to look after the children.

Originally, Xie Jingxing could have had the Xie family's wet nurse send it over.

But because he missed Qian Yueqiu, he came in person...

"Prepare the carriage." Xie Jingxing handed the children back to the wet nurse and ordered the servant outside the door in a deep voice, "Go to the Qian residence."

The carriage creaked as it rolled over the snow-covered streets.

Xie Jingxing sat in the carriage, holding a hand warmer in his hands, but his mind had already flown to the Qian residence.

He still remembered the scene when he first went to the Qian family to propose marriage...

"Young master, we've arrived at the Qian residence." The coachman's voice interrupted his reverie.

Xie Jingxing took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and then lifted the curtain to get out of the carriage.

The area in front of the Qian residence has also been newly decorated, with two large red lanterns hanging high and the brass rings on the door polished to a shine.

The gatekeeper was visibly taken aback when he saw him arrive, then hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, young master... no, thank you, young master. Please wait a moment, I will go and inform him right away."

Not long after.

The gates of the Qian residence slowly opened.

Butler Qian personally came out to greet him, his attitude respectful yet distant: "Young Master Xie, please come in... Third Madam and Third Master are waiting for you."

Xie Jingxing frowned.

Because he did not see the person he longed for.

Moreover, judging from the steward's tone, it seemed that Qian Yueqiu was no longer waiting for him at the mansion.

It's Chinese New Year.

If Qian Yueqiu isn't at home, where could she have gone?

Because he was too angry when he divorced her, Xie Jingxing has been avoiding any news related to Qian Yueqiu and is unaware of her affair with Zhao Wenxuan...
