Qin Changqing's temper is that he doesn't make decisions easily, and once he makes a decision, no one can change it, not even Lan Sinian.

Lan Sinian naturally couldn't bear to see him running around while pregnant, but he was even more reluctant to say a word against his wife, so he could only accuse him with a wronged look!

"I'll be back as soon as possible." Qin Changqing, a master of the art of giving a good time, reached out to touch his ear, then leaned over to kiss him on the lips. The kiss, initially intended to be comforting, quickly changed its nature. Lan Sinian's arms wrapped tightly around him, capturing his lips and deepening the kiss.

Qin Changqing didn't resist, closing his eyes and letting himself sink into the kiss. This was the man he'd loved for eighteen years. Even if his appearance had changed and he'd forgotten their past, he couldn't help but be drawn to him. Perhaps this was his fate. The thought of their impending separation filled him with reluctance.

The kiss quickly turned sour, and Lan Sinian picked him up and strode towards the bedroom.

Perhaps it was the overwhelming reluctance to part, or perhaps it was the encouragement Qin Changqing's affectionate response that nearly overwhelmed Lan Sinian, but he nearly lost control and continued until the very end. But caressing the Empress's smooth body and slightly bulging belly, the Emperor managed to restrain himself. He simply used his hands to ease the two of them, then held the Empress tightly in his arms.

"Honey, let Qi Feng follow you too?" Lan Sinian's big hands kneaded his limbs with moderate strength, and his heart was filled with tenderness.

Qin Changqing thought about it, then shook his head. "No need. Qi Feng's identity is too conspicuous. He'll be discovered."

"But no one takes care of you." Lan Sinian felt heartbroken when he thought about his royal daughter having to do everything by herself even though she was pregnant.

"I'm not a three-year-old kid." Qin Changqing was a little impatient, but he felt that his behavior of taking his anger out on him was not good, so he still coaxed him patiently.

"but……"

"Shut up! I want to sleep." Her Majesty the Queen's patience was running out, and she slapped him in the face.

Lan Sinian had no choice but to shut up, but his handsome face became gloomy, which made Qin Changqing want to beat him up again.

…

He had to go back to Earth and couldn't go to the college. Qin Changqing also wanted to maintain a good relationship with the teachers, so he personally asked for leave, saying only that he had been feeling unwell recently and needed to rest well.

The academy experienced the incident of the queen being kidnapped in a restaurant. The school leaders were all shocked and broke out in cold sweats, especially when they learned that the queen was pregnant with the much-anticipated new generation of royal heir, and that someone in the school was involved in this incident. The leaders all turned pale and felt that a disaster was imminent.

Given the Emperor's temper, he would definitely get to the bottom of this matter, and the Imperial Academy would bear the brunt of the blame. After all, that was his Empress. If he didn't get to the bottom of this, where would the Imperial Academy stand in shame?

Fortunately, the Queen personally came forward to plead for the academy, hoping to leave a quiet environment for the students to study. For the Queen's sake, His Majesty the Emperor finally ordered the academy to rectify the situation, and the matter was dropped.

But the leaders of the academy are all smart people, and naturally they will not forget to be grateful for the queen's kindness. The students of the academy only hope to have a stable environment to study, and they have a good impression of this generous and kind queen. All these changes have laid a good foundation for sending students from Earth to study here in the future.

Ulysses knew he would have to temporarily put aside his research to raise the next generation of the royal family, and with some regret, he felt it was unavoidable. However, his position as queen meant he was destined to make sacrifices in many matters—such as the future of the empire—and this was unavoidable.

"I hope you won't give up your research." This was all he said at the end.

"Okay, professor, don't worry, I won't give up." Qin Changqing nodded and agreed.

After asking for leave from the college, Qin Changqing set a date for departure.

Qin Xu's current status changed, and the responsibilities he would bear from now on were also different. Qin Changqing couldn't afford to delay his studies any longer, so he didn't plan to bring him back to Earth. Fortunately, Qin Xu was becoming more and more sensible. Although only ten years old, he already had a sense of maturity. Especially after learning his true life story, he seemed to suddenly understand the path he would take when he grew up. He worked harder than ever before, and was no longer the little kid who clung to his father.

"Don't force yourself." After Qin Changqing understood his thoughts, he only set this rule for him.

Qin Xu nodded seriously, "I understand, Dad."

Qin Changqing smiled and rubbed his little head. No matter what, as a father he was always proud of this sensible son.

※

While the father and son were chatting and laughing, the Emperor, feeling deeply abandoned, was extremely sad.

That day, when he was accompanying Qin Xu in training, he suddenly lost his concentration for some reason and was punched in the chest by Qin Xu.

Lan Sinian rubbed his chest. He had thick skin and flesh, but this was enough to tickle him. However, he didn't feel like continuing. He simply sat on the floor, waved to his eldest son, and said, "Son, come and talk to me for a while."

Qin Xu scurried over and sat down beside him, his head drenched in sweat. Lan Sinian casually pulled a towel over his head and let him wipe his face.

"Son, do you think I've done something to upset my dear? Why does he seem to be acting strangely lately?" Lan Sinian couldn't put it into words for a moment, but he just felt that his dear was being proactive and attentive to him one moment, and then being cold and indifferent the next! His Majesty the Emperor felt like he was living in dire straits every day!

Qin Xu paused while wiping his face and glanced at him.

"Why are you looking at me, kid? Do you know something and are you hiding it from me?" Lan Sinian caught his gaze sharply, put his big hand on his head and shook it, his eyes narrowed slightly. "Tell me quickly, what are you hiding from me?"

Qin Xu's body was forced to sway back and forth. He felt a little aggrieved when he thought about how his father hadn't known of his existence for so many years. He pouted and said, "I don't know. Don't shake me."

Lan Sinian bent one leg, resting his chin on his elbow and knee, and stopped shaking him. But he still tapped his head gently with his fingers, his face full of unhappiness and the same aggrieved look as his son. "So, if I apologize to my dear, will he forgive me?"

Qin Xu paused, then said in a depressed tone, "How can you apologize if you don't know what Dad is angry about?"

"Yeah, how do you think I should apologize so he'll forgive me?" Lan Sinian propped up his chin. "Send my dear a manor, or a mining planet? Well, how about packing myself up and giving it to him?"

His eyes lit up, and then he heard Qin Xu say, "I don't know, but it may be because I am young. Every time I do something wrong, as long as I sincerely apologize to my father, he will forgive me."

His Majesty the Emperor's eyes suddenly brightened, he clapped his hands and figured out what to do!

Qin Xu didn't know what solution he had come up with, but there was a hint of "kindness" in the look he gave him?

Lan Sinian felt a little uncomfortable meeting that gaze. Why was the little guy looking at his own silly daddy?!

…

Finally, it was time for Qin Changqing to leave. His Majesty the Emperor reluctantly sent him to Star Harbor, nagging him, "You are two people in your body now. You must be careful and take care of yourself. Don't go to dangerous places. I will be worried."

Surrounded by travelers rushing to and fro, Qin Changqing finally felt a sense of separation in his heart. He rarely felt annoyed by him, but instead held his hand and stared at him intently.

Unfortunately, Lan Sinian was also immersed in the sadness of impending departure and did not notice his changes.

The two of them talked reluctantly for a long time, until time was almost up. Lan Sinian stroked his face and said affectionately, "I'll wait for you to come back."

"Well, you should take good care of yourself at home." Qin Changqing raised his hand, hooked it around his neck, and hugged him tightly.

Lan Sinian was a little flattered, but also a little wary, fearing that after the kiss she would become angry with him the next moment, so he hugged the person very carefully.

The two of them stayed together for quite a while until it was finally time to leave, and they reluctantly separated. Qin Changqing kept looking back as he passed through security, until he could no longer see her, then he stopped looking back and sighed softly.

This time, Qin Changqing and his companions disguised themselves and left the Imperial Star Region as ordinary passengers aboard a civilian airliner. They planned to wait until they reached the nearest station to the solar system, then quietly sail to Earth aboard a flying ship—the same one the Emperor had gifted the Empress on her birthday...

Qin Changqing was not in good health, but he did not intend to make things difficult for himself. The emperor booked a high-class cabin for him, which provided ample space for the three of them to move around and was fully equipped. Except that they could not see the people they wanted to see, life was almost the same as on land.

"Sir, would you like to rest or sit for a while?" Hu Zhan asked in a low voice. This time, he and Han Hai were also in disguise. Lan Sinian's body fluids stained their faces, obscuring their originally handsome features. Coupled with their low-key attire, they looked like ordinary aristocratic travelers.

"Sit down for a while. Is there anything to eat?" Qin Changqing was getting hungry easily now. After all, the little one needed nutrition to "take root and sprout" in his belly. He recalled that when he was pregnant with Qin Xu, he was also like this. He was always starving. He was still in his third year of high school at the time, so he had to carry a large bag of food to school every day to avoid being dizzy and unable to concentrate on studying.

"Yes, please wait." Hu Zhan's martial arts and experience are not as good as Hanhai's, so he has to do all these trivial matters.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome."

Qin Changqing sat by the window, watching the Emperor Star grow smaller and smaller. They had only been apart for a moment, but he was already missing that person.

He couldn't help but think back to when they were still in high school, when they were even closer than they are now. However, they had different personalities. Ah Hua was always full of energy. It was impossible for him to sit in the classroom and study every day like Qin Changqing. He would run away at the slightest distraction, playing games, basketball, fighting, and always having an endless supply of physical activities to do.

Qin Changqing was quite dissatisfied with this at first. First, he thought that they were in high school and should focus on their studies. Second, every time Ahua was sweating outside, there were always many girls surrounding him, looking at him with admiration or love, which made Qin Changqing very unhappy.

Qin Changqing was still too young at that time. Whenever he was in a bad mood because of these things, he would lose his temper at Ahua and take out all his anger on Ahua. However, no matter how angry he was, Ahua never got angry with him. Instead, she was always like a sticky candy, constantly showing her affection to him, calling him "wife" non-stop, and occasionally shamelessly stealing a kiss from him.

Qin Changqing's anger was gone, and he watched people even more closely. He had nothing at the time, and was particularly afraid of losing Ah Hua. So, apart from when he got angry, he was usually obedient to Ah Hua. Of course, if someone went too far, he would not hesitate to use his fists.

Hu Zhan brought the food quickly, and the Emperor Star could no longer be seen through the porthole, so Qin Changqing withdrew his gaze and ate seriously.

Although living in the premium cabin is similar to living on land, and many people would rather stay in outer space and play with various entertainment facilities, Qin Changqing has no interest in those things. He has always thought that he is a very boring person, and this time it is even more so.

He suddenly felt a little regretful for refusing Lan Sinian to come with him. If Lan Sinian was there, every minute of his life would definitely be "interesting" and every day would be extremely exciting.

Qin Changqing sat for a while and felt a little tired, so he decided to go to the hibernation cabin to rest.

Hu Zhan has already discussed with Han Hai that they will take turns staying outside the hibernation capsule to protect his safety. Unless they travel through time and space, one of them will definitely leave one of them to guard outside.

Qin Changqing stood in front of the hibernation capsule, took off his coat and was about to put it aside when suddenly he felt the pocket of his coat move!

Qin Changqing was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was seeing things. However, the next moment, Her Majesty the Queen watched as his coat pocket was opened out of thin air, and a head the size of an adult man's little finger stretched out from it!

Qin Changqing: “……!!!”

The little head popped out, still lying on the edge of the pocket, and shook it vigorously, then raised its head and met Qin Changqing's gaze. Her Majesty could hear the emperor's voice clearly transmitted into her mind word by word.

"Hey, beautiful man, do you mind giving me a ride?" I said while giving him a wink.

Qin Changqing: “!!!” He grabbed the coat and slammed the man onto the table!

At this time, Hanhai, who was guarding outside the cabin door, seemed to have heard the sound and asked worriedly, "Sir, is there something wrong?"

"It's okay." Qin Changqing's voice was very calm.

Hanhai was sure from his voice that he was indeed fine, so he stopped asking questions.

During the brief moment of their conversation, the little man had already crawled out from under the clothes, straightened his luxurious and expensive-looking... clothes, and then bowed to Qin Changqing very gentlemanly, introducing himself: "Hello, beautiful lady, I am Prince Ah Si from the Andromeda Galaxy. I accidentally got separated from my servants while traveling to your Milky Way. Now I am penniless and unable to return home. I wonder if you could take me in for a while?"

He blinked his big, adorable eyes as he spoke. His delicate, cute little face still had the hard, smooth lines of someone else's face, but because it was smaller, it was much cuter. When he looked at people like this, any girl on Earth would probably be so adorable that she would want to roll over...

Unfortunately, Her Majesty the Queen was not a girl. She stretched out her hand and grabbed the collar of Prince Si's luxurious and expensive clothes with two fingers, brought it in front of her, and turned him around. She looked the prince carefully all over his body, and finally poked his little butt with her finger.

Great, his life will start to be full of fun again! It won't be boring anymore!
