The night was long, and the moon hid quietly in the clouds, not daring to show a glimpse of its light, for fear of being discovered peeking at it.

That night, Ahri said she was so happy, the happiness of being surrounded by women was something no one else could understand.

However, they didn't stay up too late, because they had to get up early the next day, and they had already decided to take an oxcart back to Shendu slowly.

The next day, Xue Rongyu and Nangong Xuan got up first and went out, while Li Wenping lay there without making a sound.

When Ah Li walked over, she noticed that the man's eyes were bloodshot, and the skin on the places where he was tied up was broken from struggling.

He looks so pitiful, like he was abused last night.

Ah Li helped Li Wenping untie himself with great concern and removed the cloth from his mouth.

Li Wen lay there quietly; he hadn't argued with those two for as long as they had!

He was particularly enraged by the images he could hear but not see, which were imagined in his mind.

Ali nudged Li Wenping and tried to kiss him.

Li Wenping pulled the person over, hugged them, and kissed them.

Ahri's hand slowly reached out towards him. It wasn't good for him to be so hot-tempered so early in the morning; he needed to put out the fire first.

Before long, Li Wenping was biting Ah Li's earlobe, and his breath changed; he didn't dare to look at Ah Li anymore.

When Xue Rongyu pushed open the door and came in, she found Li Wenping looking dejected, not at all like the person he had expected to fight them to the death.

Ali tugged at Li Wenping's hand, and Li Wenping stood up with Ali's help.

He glared at Xue Rongyu, thinking, "This is so unfair! Not only can I not beat them, but I'm also faster than them!"

Xue Rongyu raised an eyebrow and said, "Dinner's ready."

A few days later, they packed up all the edible food in the kitchen, put away the pots and pans, and neatly folded the bedding in the room and put it in the cupboard.

They took Ahri and the old ox with them and returned to the capital.

After returning to the capital, Ah Li first married Xue Rongyu.

Three days later, she married Nangong Xuan.

During those three days, Ah Li witnessed Nangong Xuan's gentleness and his deeply hidden affection.

Once those three days were over, Li Wenping led his men to the Nangong family early in the morning to pick them up.

Nangong Xuan and Xue Rongyu came out together. They looked at Li Wenping, who was dressed in wedding attire, and asked, "Have you chosen the auspicious time?"

"certainly."

Li Wenping looked at Ali, who was standing behind them. Ali was already dressed in a red wedding dress and was holding a fan as she looked at him.

Later on, Ahri had several children, and they never distinguished who was whose.

Everyone in the capital city knew about the three men sharing a wife, but no one dared to bring it up.

In addition, Ah Li doesn't go out for social events, and even if she does, she won't hear any gossip.

Furthermore, whether it was the Xue family, the Nangong family, or the Prime Minister's family, none dared to underestimate Ah Li. This was because the mistress of the house was oblivious to the world around her, while the male masters were ruthless, and the mistress was their Achilles' heel.

The new emperor would sometimes come to see this little grass that Li Wenping always talked about.

Li Wenping felt that he was inferior to the other two because he had not received the imperial decree for marriage. He had to pester the new emperor for a long time before he finally got the imperial decree.

Li Wenping and the new emperor had played together before, and Li Wenping liked to bring him novelties from outside the palace.

Now, he's taking his child into the palace to show the new emperor.

It wasn't that he said his child could crawl, or that he could walk. He would even bring his child into the palace when the child first called him "Dad," so that the new emperor could hear it too.

"You're just too idle. Why doesn't the Prime Minister find you a job?"

"No, I need to stay with my little grass now. If you need anything, just talk to Xue Rongyu and Nangong Xuan."

"Then you can help me persuade those two to stop submitting their resignations so easily."

The new emperor is a man who cherishes talent; he will not let them leave.

"Okay, I understand."

Li Wenping played for a while, then took the child home.

He was the only one who could freely enter and leave the palace without holding any official position.

At that time, Li Wenping also thought about having the new emperor disguise himself and become a country bumpkin with him, but unfortunately, the Grand Tutor refused, saying that the new emperor should always remember his identity.

Li Wenping was also explicitly forbidden from appearing in front of him frequently.

The capital city remains as prosperous as ever, with bustling crowds moving through its streets and alleys.

Li Wenping took the child and rode in a carriage back to the Prime Minister's residence.

Ali, Xue Rongyu, and Nangong Xuan were waiting for him and the child outside the mansion.

Li Wenping got off the carriage and said somewhat helplessly, "That person won't let you resign from your official posts, but he said he wants to go with us to see other places. He wants to travel incognito."

Xue Rongyu looked towards the carriage, while Nangong Xuan also looked at Li Wenping with a speechless expression.

The new emperor inside the carriage also longed to live a free and unrestrained life.
