The atmosphere of the Lunar New Year is particularly intense this year. With only about twenty days left until New Year's Eve, people are already starting to stock up on New Year's goods. Supermarkets are bustling with people, the surround sound system blaring the festive song "Congratulations and Prosperity," and everyone's face is beaming with joy.

Qin Changqing's belly is now slightly bulging, but since he is wearing a thick coat in winter, others just think he is a little fat, but they don't suspect that he is pregnant.

But there was a downside: in crowded places, people wouldn't give him room, so he could easily bump into his belly. Ever since the Emperor noticed his belly was starting to bulge, he'd been anxious, terrified that someone might bump into his darlings and cubs, who were so fragile!

"Honey, be careful. Tell me what you want and I'll get it for you. I'll push the shopping cart for you and you just follow me." Lan Sinian once again stopped Qin Changqing from stretching out his hand to take the nutritional supplements on the top shelf. While helping him take it down easily, he also forbade him to do anything else.

Qin Changqing wasn't a sentimental person, but this bastard's attitude that he should just lie in the "nutrition cabin" for ten months was really annoying. He glared at him and said angrily, "Get out of here."

His Majesty, who just felt sorry for his wife, felt very aggrieved for being stared at innocently, but he didn't dare to make him angry. He followed him listlessly and worriedly, just like the big Husky dog that was led by a family of three next to them and was unwilling to leave the supermarket.

Qin Changqing was amused by his own association, and then he thought defensively that their Majesty was much smarter than that stupid dog.

Apart from someone being a bit annoying because of his excessive talk, the two of them felt quite good shopping together. Lan Sinian rarely had the time to calm down and stroll with him, and Qin Changqing was in a good mood. By the time they left, he still felt a little reluctant to leave.

Lan Sinian keenly noticed his good mood, thought for a moment and said, "I'll make more time to go shopping with you in the future."

"No need." Qin Changqing smiled and shook his head. Although Lan Sinian seemed to be around him all day long, he was actually quite busy sometimes. After all, he was an emperor.

"It's okay. Accompanying your partner shopping is a husband's duty." Lan Sinian said with a smile.

Qin Changqing thought about it and nodded, saying, "Then next time we will go together as a family."

"good."

"By the way, how is Xiaoxu's bloodline awakening going?" Although Qin Changqing had never asked, he was actually somewhat anxious. He hoped that his son could awaken his bloodline as soon as possible, become a descendant of the royal family, and recognize Lan Sinian. He was also worried about whether there would be any danger in the awakening of his bloodline, and whether the little guy would be more suitable to be an ordinary person. He just couldn't say these concerns out loud.

"It'll probably take a while," Lan Sinian said after a moment of thought. "This might be because he's lived on Earth since he was a child. His genes have been dormant for too long, and they don't have enough energy."

What this means is that his genes are too abnormal. Just like the ability of a chameleon, he can automatically sense everything around him and then choose the best way to protect himself.

Qin Changqing suddenly thought of Lan Sinian who came to Earth more than ten years ago with black hair and dark brown eyes. Could it be that he also followed the Romans?

He didn't know what to say for a moment. In short, this race was too weird. They even had genes similar to chameleons. No wonder they could become the most powerful overlord in the entire galaxy!

…

Before the New Year, General Luo and his son were very busy, so Qin Changqing and Lan Sinian helped Shen Yushuang run around, buying New Year's goods, cleaning, and even flying a flying vehicle to personally pick up old man Shen Feng. They were busy until the end of December.

Old Master Shen was quite disappointed when he knew that Lan Sinian and Qin Xu were not here this time. Shen Yushuang secretly told Qin Changqing that the old man had secretly given both of them a big red envelope, but he couldn't deliver it in person. How could he not be disappointed?

Lan Sinian was also disappointed when he heard this. The old man prepared a big red envelope for him. Didn't that mean he was interested in him as a son-in-law? What a great honor it was in the "son-in-law world" on Earth! After thinking it over, he felt quite unwilling to give up. He decided to wait until the New Year's Eve dinner here, and then he and his eldest son would go to the old man to wish him a happy new year. He must make sure to get this big red envelope!

Shen Feng was undoubtedly very satisfied with Qin Changqing. When he learned that Qin Changqing was recently busy with the affairs of sending students from Earth to study in the Empire, he felt sincerely happy and proud. This was something that would benefit the entire human race, and he had a good apprentice.

"I heard that you have another child now?" The old man did not show his pride in his apprentice, but he was very concerned about his health.

"Yeah." Qin Changqing smiled and nodded.

"As for Xiaoxu, you have to talk to him nicely." The old man felt sorry for the child and was worried that he and Lan Sinian would have their own children and ignore the older one.

Qin Changqing wanted to say that the two children were his and Lan Sinian's, but there was no way to say it now. He could only nod and assure him that he would pay attention to the little guy's emotions. He also told him about Lan Sinian taking the initiative to comfort his eldest son. The old man nodded and was more satisfied with Lan Sinian.

His Majesty the Emperor, who was disguised as a guard, was very nervous. When he heard the old man praising him, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise and his chest straightened. If he had a tail now, it would probably have been raised to the sky!

Amidst everyone's busyness, time finally arrived on New Year's Eve.

The Luo family was a small family, and this was their first time having such a lively celebration. To prevent Qin Xu and Lan Sinian, who were on the Imperial Star, from feeling lonely, they even connected a hologram and projected them over to celebrate the New Year together. However, even if they were projected over, they wouldn't be able to eat the mouth-watering food on the table, which seemed even more cruel.

After the lively New Year celebration, the old man was very happy. He handed the big red envelope for the two of them to Qin Changqing, and told him to take it back and give it to them. After that, he suddenly remembered that Changqing was pregnant with another child. He quickly asked his grandson to take another red envelope and give a bigger one to the unborn baby. Only then did he feel relieved.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the first month of the lunar year. Shen Yushuang knew they were in a hurry to go back for something, so she picked an auspicious day for them to leave and even set off firecrackers. Qin Changqing now had two children to take care of, and it was unknown when he would return. She and the old man were reluctant to let him go.

…

The return trip took the starship that Luo Yuhuan and his team used to transport cargo. This starship had long been transferred to Qin Xu by Lan Sinian. For every round trip from the Empire to Earth, Tang Qian would transfer a large sum of rental fees to Qin Xu - of course, the daily maintenance costs of the starship were also paid by him.

Qin Changqing felt a little weird as he returned on the starship belonging to his son. He was still at the average income level, but his son was already a wealthy man!

"Honey, are you feeling uncomfortable? If you are, just go and lie down in the hibernation cabin. I'll call you when we get to the Emperor Star." Lan Sinian touched Qin Changqing's head and looked at his belly worriedly. Qin Changqing had no doubt about his worried look that this guy would even be willing to get pregnant for him if possible.

"No need. I'll take a look at the students' information. You can help me with some reference." Qin Changqing had to go back and study the information collected from those illegal human laboratories. He had wasted too much time on a lively New Year's Eve, so he could make use of the free time on the way back.

Seeing that he had no intention of retracting his plan, Lan Sinian nodded and said, "Okay then."

Years ago, the Imperial Star arranged for someone to come and pick up the group of people who had gone crazy. In order to avoid any problems, Qin Changqing placed a lot of cinnabar jade on the starship.

He had another idea about this matter. When Ah Hua left the Earth, the only thing he left him was the cinnabar bracelet. Later, he was able to successfully cure those manic patients all relying on this thing... Could it be that Lan Sinian actually has the key to completely cure this malignant infectious disease, mania?

Qin Changqing went through most of the students' information, and Lan Sinian went through it with him again, and they had almost screened out a group of qualified students.

Not long after, the starship finally returned to the Imperial Star. Qin Changqing saw that it was not yet time for Qin Xu to finish class, so he met Tang Qian first.

The two discussed finding a way to get Earth's people to learn the Empire's official language. This was actually quite easy to solve: simply purchasing a batch of language chips would allow students to quickly master the language in less than a year. However, while these language chips were inexpensive, they required a matching learning helmet. If each person purchased a separate helmet, the cost would be prohibitive.

Qin Changqing pondered for a moment and said, "Let some people learn using the helmets first, and then they can teach others using the traditional learning method."

"That's what I meant." Tang Qian nodded.

"Then you can find someone to handle this matter. I may not have time to worry about these things recently."

"Okay, I'll keep up with you all the way, don't worry."

Afterwards, Qin Changqing explained that the students had been roughly selected, and that while they were being gathered together to learn the common language of the empire, they could also observe their character and remove some of the unsatisfactory ones. Tang Qian agreed to all of his requests and then left the palace.

After he left, Qin Changqing saw that it was almost time, so he decided to pick up Qin Xu from school. Lan Sinian's clone returned to his original body after returning to Emperor Star. He was still in a meeting at the time, so he had to go pick up Qin Xu himself.

Qin Xu's school was quite famous on the Imperial Star, but it wasn't a school for the aristocracy; the students came from all walks of life. It was reasonable to send him to a prestigious school, but when choosing a school, Qin Changqing and Lan Sinian both avoided it. Their initial reasoning wasn't just because he was in the crucial period of his bloodline awakening, but also because they worried he wouldn't adapt to the school.

When Qin Changqing arrived at the school, get out of class had not yet ended. He waited in the aircraft for a while. Hu Zhan, who was following him, suddenly said, "Your Majesty, there's something wrong with that person!"

"Who?" Qin Changqing looked in the direction he was looking, puzzled.

At this moment, the school bell rang, and students began to leave the teaching building. Suddenly, a man at the school gate rushed towards the students like a madman. Qin Changqing noticed that he was holding a weapon in his hand!

The students didn't know what was going on. When they saw the man holding a weapon, they thought it was a model. Some brave children even asked the man to touch it.

Qin Xu had just walked out of the teaching building. He knew that his father would be back today, and he was thinking about seeing his father and sister, so he didn't notice the commotion here.

However, the armed man's red eyes turned in his direction, a malicious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he raised the muzzle of his gun and aimed at the heads of a group of children around ten years old!

Qin Changqing's heart suddenly jumped, and he shouted loudly: "Hu Zhan!"

Hu Zhan got off the aircraft as soon as he realized something was wrong and shot towards the man!

At the same time, a surging wave of water fell from the sky like a waterfall. With a loud bang, the deadly sound of the weapon was immediately drowned out by the waterfall!

Qin Xu, who was rushing to the school gate, raised his head in confusion, but was splashed with water in the face. He reached out his hand to wipe the water droplets off his face in surprise, and found that he and his classmates were surrounded by a wall of water, and there was a scream coming from outside the water wall!

The timid students were so frightened that they burst into tears. Qin Xu, though reserved, was quite courageous. He helped the frightened and crying child to the middle of the room before comforting him, saying, "It's okay, it's probably an emergency drill. It's okay. Don't be afraid. We just need to stand still and wait for the teacher to rescue us."

"Really?" The little girl who was helped up by him looked at him with tears in her eyes.

When Qin Xu saw her, he remembered that he would have such a lovely sister in the future. His heart softened immediately. He quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her face. He touched her pigtails inconspicuously. They were soft and very nice to touch. He assured her with a happy face, "It's true. I won't lie to you."

Seeing that his expression was calm and not fake, the little girl began to trust him in her heart. She looked at him, nodded, and followed him obediently.

Qin Changqing had no idea his son was still tugging at the little girl's pigtails. He anxiously gazed at the two men fighting on the playground, as well as the semicircle surrounded by water from Hu Zhan. Was this madman having a manic outburst, or was he deliberately targeting a particular student?
