Changning nearly choked on her own saliva and asked incredulously, "What did you say? Say it again?"

Meng Guqing smiled and said that he finally looked a bit more alive and similar to his previous self.

"Quickly bring it out so I can see it."

Changning had no choice but to have someone bring the three little ones out.

Coincidentally, Yinzhen took the other children hunting, especially Hongzhao, who was the most enthusiastic, followed closely by Hutuli and Hongyan.

Hongmin and Hongchen are also learning to ride horses, and they take Hongyang along for a ride on a pony.

Of the children, only Hongxu, Yaertan, and Unaxi remained.

When the wet nurse brought over the two adorable little princesses, Meng Guqing's eyes widened in amazement. He held one in each arm and refused to let go.

But both Yartan and Unashi liked her and kept tugging at the turquoise on her body.

"Wow, what beautiful little princesses! They're just like little dolls in a painting." Meng Guqing couldn't help but exclaim, then hugged the two little princesses tightly and played with them.

Yartan had two dimples when she smiled, which was especially sweet. She called out in a soft, sweet voice, "Ah! Uh! Uh!"

Meng Guqing was overjoyed: "Yes, yes, yes! Call her Mother! Mother!"

Unahi was more reserved, but she was very interested in the accessories Mengguqing wore; she quite liked things in soft, muted colors. Yaertan, on the other hand, preferred bright colors.

Changning had no choice but to pick up the remaining Hongxu. It was a bit funny; daughters were definitely more popular. No one cared about sons anymore.

However, she hopes that her daughter, while being popular, can also have the same rights as her son.

Hongxu was a carefree person. He didn't feel disappointed at all, and he didn't care at all about the fact that everyone preferred his two younger sisters. He was always cheerful.

Instead, he looked at Meng Guqing with great interest, his dark eyes full of curiosity.

"Heavens! Changning, your daughters are so adorable! I want to steal one, but can you give me one? I promise I'll treat her well! I'll raise her properly, and in the future, I'll give her the title of Prince of Khorchin!"

Meng Guqing's face was full of excitement, while Chang Ning twitched her lips and said, "You wish."

"Oh, really, I'm not lying to you. Anyway, I'll never have any children in this life, but I'll definitely treat your child as my own. She's the only treasure I, Meng Guqing, have in this life! I'll save all the good things for her! I'll also take her to the grasslands to ride horses, to see the stars, to pick Gesang flowers, to herd livestock, and to live her free and unrestrained life!"

Meng Guqing's words were sincere, and Changning was somewhat moved. She knew that Meng Guqing had given up all hope for love, but still longed for a soft place and a loving family.

“I understand you. Why don’t you try to accept someone else? There must be quite a few young men from the grasslands who like you, right?” Although Changning understood her, he couldn’t possibly give his child to her!

Meng Guqing curled her lip: "I have no interest in them."

Changning thought to herself, "Well, then there's no hope."

She chatted with Meng Guqing for a while longer before leaving. She was now a tribal princess, and had many things to handle every day.

Changning played with the three children for a while longer. Meng Guqing then brought over a large red embroidered ball with colorful ribbons tied to it, which was sure to attract the children's attention.

So, Changning tossed the ball out like she was teasing a puppy, and then the three of them would try to catch it and give it back to her.

Hongxu was always the fastest, but Yaertan always managed to steal the ball. Yaertan, being so small, didn't even have to try hard; she easily took the ball from her brother.

Changning discovered that Hongxu was the most gentle-natured of all the children. Yaertan kept taking things from his hands, but he wasn't angry at all.

Although it's best for siblings to get along, Changning was afraid that he was just too nice to be bullied and wouldn't stand up for himself. That wouldn't do.

Fortunately, he is still young, so we should observe him more closely in the future.

As the sun was about to set, the sound of horses' hooves grew louder as the hunting party returned.

Chuixue helped Changning out the door. Looking outside, they saw thousands of horses galloping across the vast grassland. Leading the way were Yinzhen and the children, all looking heroic and dignified.

"Mother!" Hutuli exclaimed happily, waving her horsewhip.

"Mother! I won! Hehe!" It was Hongzhao's voice. Even from this far away, Changning could see his bright smile.

The younger sons were also very excited riding their ponies; they were now riding horses quite well.

Seeing how happy the children were, Changning's mood improved as well.

Sure enough, once the children dismounted, they took their prey from their guards and galloped towards Changning.

At this moment, Changning felt like a mother bird, whose little birds were now out foraging for food, and her heart was filled with happiness.

Hutu excitedly grabbed Changning's hand and showed off to her: "Mother! Look! This fire fox's fur is excellent. It will be so comfortable to hug when we make a doll out of it!"

Hongzhao wasn't to be outdone: "Me too! Mother! I hunted one too!"

Changning praised each child highly, including Hongyan who hunted a deer, and even Hongmin, Hongchen, and Hongyang who were just taking advantage of the situation, all of whom were praised for their improved riding skills.

On the other side, Honghui and Yierha could also ride horses, but their bodies couldn't withstand too much exertion, so they returned early. They stood to the side, watching their brothers and sisters with their abundant prey, their eyes filled with envy.

Hongyan was very generous. He was an excellent rider and archer and hunted the most prey. So he not only left some for Changning and Yinzhen, but also for the Empress Dowager, Honghui, Yierha, and his other brothers and sisters.

Looking at Hong Yan's achievements, Hong Hui sincerely praised him: "Hong Yan, I really admire you! Your literary skills and archery skills far surpass those of us mediocre people. You will definitely have a bright future."

Hongyan had never heard his elder brother say such a thing before, and he immediately felt a little embarrassed.

Yierha also felt that their dashing appearance on horseback was more like that of an imperial princess and prince, and when she thought of herself, she felt a little lost.

However, after showing the rabbits to Changning, Hutuli then took Yierha's hand and went to see the nest of baby rabbits they had caught.

Back when they were in the Prince's mansion, they had raised a litter of rabbits, which had now grown into a fairly large family. Changning had even specially enclosed a space for these rabbits, hired four or five eunuchs to manage it, and designed a house for them that resembled a four- or five-story villa.

Now, Hutuli is dedicated to building a rabbit empire.

She plans to become the female ruler of this rabbit empire.
