After Xiao Yan finished washing up, he came out and changed into a bright yellow pajamas. He took a deep breath and mustered up all his courage before extending his hand. "Ahem, come on, I'm ready!"
Ji Yunhuan placed Xiao Yuer in Xiao Yan's arms, and seeing Xiao Yan's funny look with his body stiff and not daring to move, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"You don't have to be so nervous. Xiaoyu'er is very well behaved and rarely cries at night. If you hadn't woken him up just now, he would have slept until dawn."
"You, stop standing there like an idiot. Come and sit down."
"I'm telling you, pat him on the back like this. He's just had a good meal and will fall asleep soon."
Xiao Yan sat down slowly and didn't dare to pat his son. Such a soft little guy seemed like he would break if touched. Xiao Yan was really afraid that he would be clumsy and hurt their child.
Xiao Yuer felt very uncomfortable in Xiao Yan's arms. Seeing that Xiao Yuer was about to cry because of him, Ji Yunhuan hurriedly picked up his son and rocked him to coax him to sleep.
After Xiao Yu'er became quiet again, Ji Yunhuan called Yuling in and took the sleeping little prince out, leaving only the emperor and the empress in the bedroom.
With the sweet and soft beauty in his arms, the endless longing condensed into a line. Xiao Yan wished he could rub Ji Yunhuan into his bones and blood, and no matter how he lingered with her, it would never be enough.
After a long time, Ji Yunhuan collapsed in Xiao Yan's arms. Xiao Yan kissed her over and over again, but knowing that she was tired, Xiao Yan did not proceed to the next step.
"Xiaoyun, my Xiaoyun! Xiaoyun, I'm sorry. I wasn't by your side when our son was born. You must have been very scared, right? I swear I won't do that again. I will always be with you."
The two of them stayed together for a long time before Xiao Wei finally fell asleep.
…
The next morning, he left the city again. Amid the cheers of the people in the capital, Xiao Wei, wearing armor and riding a tall horse, entered the city amid the people's passionate farewell.
Ji Yunhuan stood at the city gate and looked at Xiao Wei. The emperor and the empress walked hand in hand and accepted the greetings of all officials.
Liu Xi was also among the officials. He was born into a scholarly family and had been well-read since childhood. He only wanted to serve the country.
But Liu Xi's family members offended Wu Xin, and his whole family suffered misfortune due to the involvement. He had no choice but to enter the palace and become a eunuch. Even though he is now in power and favored by the emperor, he is just a eunuch who plays power games!
I can't accept this! What if I, Xiao Wei, am full of talent? What if I have the ambition to serve my country? No one will care what a eunuch like me thinks or does!
Only the eldest prince at that time knew and understood him. The eldest prince was extremely talented and courageous. Only the eldest prince dared to risk the wrath of the world and let a eunuch be an official!
It started from the time when His Highness appreciated him and allowed him to be an official.
The only person Liu Xi is loyal to is the eldest prince!
Prince Rong Xiao Mu, dressed in a princely formal attire and wearing eight oriental pearls on his head, stood before all the officials, his bright eyes filled with admiration, "Brother, you are amazing!"
Lord Tian beside him coughed, and Xiao Mu immediately adjusted his expression and knelt on the ground with all the officials.
"Your Majesty is welcomed back to the capital in triumph. Long live His Majesty!"
As the magnificent music sounded, the people who were stopped outside by the imperial guards knelt on the ground and shouted "Long live the emperor!"
Xiao Yan stepped forward and helped his eighth brother up. He only had one younger brother left to use. Although he was a little timid, he had the help of Lord Tian and could barely help him regulate the country.
"Eighth brother, you have worked hard while I was away."
Xiao Mu was flattered and began to stutter again with excitement, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, thank you for your praise. I am afraid... I am afraid that I might not do well and cause trouble for you, Your Majesty."
Ji Yunhuan gave Xiao Mu an encouraging look and said with a smile, "Prince Rong has relieved His Majesty of his worries. Shouldn't His Majesty reward him with something? Why not let Concubine An leave the palace to enjoy her retirement? This would also preserve the mother-son relationship."
Xiao Yan didn't want to let his eighth brother get his wish so soon. His younger brother was too timid and really needed some experience.
If there is no carrot hanging in front of him, the eighth brother will not move at all.
"Well, since the Queen has spoken, let Concubine An leave the palace at the end of the year. You are a prince, so you should share more of my worries and stop staying in the palace all day."
Xiao Mu suppressed his excitement and shouted, "Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! And may the Empress live a thousand years!"
————
The new emperor worked hard to govern the country, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. There was also widespread praise in the court. The only thing that was criticized was that there was only one empress in the new emperor's harem.
The censors were bored to death, so they found all kinds of ways to ask the emperor to expand his harem and have more children.
Xiao Yan was no pushover, and he beat several of the censors with a stick on the spot.
"I have few children because I was harmed by a traitor and suffered injuries. It is not the Queen's fault. I have always had difficulty in having children. The Queen has given birth to a prince, which is a blessing from heaven."
"Even if I were to gather all the women in the world into the palace, I would not be able to have children. There is no need to discuss this matter any further. I am dismissing the court!"
A few days later, news suddenly came from the palace that the Queen was pregnant again!
Because the previous pregnancy was well-maintained and went smoothly, Xiao Yan ordered Wei Ling to "invite" Ye Jueming to the capital.
Ye Jueming stepped hard on Wei Ling and walked into Yunjing Palace angrily.
After taking his pulse, Ye Jueming's eyes widened in surprise. "What kind of luck did Xiao Yan have? With his shabby body, he can actually have children? This time they're twins. Xiao Yan must be so happy. But it's hard for you, Xiaoyun. Carrying twins is very difficult."
Ji Yunhuan had used the Dragon and Phoenix Pill, so she naturally knew that she was pregnant with twins, but she still showed a surprised expression.
