Everyone looked at Xu Feiyan.
Xu Feiyan smiled and said to Nangong Yunsheng, "Husband, Jiuer said we have a daughter!"
"You have a daughter?" Nangong Yunsheng subconsciously looked at Nangong Jiu for confirmation. After getting a positive answer, he hugged Xu Feiyan with joy.
"We finally have a daughter!"
Xu Feiyan pushed him away in embarrassment and anger.
Chu Ruoyan laughed and scolded, "Let me go! The child is only a month old, be careful not to hurt him. You are already an adult, why are you still so clumsy?"
Nangong Yunsheng quickly let go and nervously stroked Xu Feiyan's abdomen: "Be good, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"
His cautious look made Nangong Jiu laugh.
"Uncle, you love your sister so much. When Brother Rui and Brother Zhi come home from school, will they think you favor girls over boys?"
"What's wrong with favoring girls over boys? They are older brothers, they should give way to their younger sisters."
The family finally calmed down.
Nangong Jiu asked Nangong Honglie: "Grandfather, why didn't my father come back with you?"
“After His Highness entered the palace, he went to the Imperial Household Department and Kunning Palace, saying that he wanted to get something.
We didn’t see anyone when we left, so we came back.”
"Oh, how did Lord Li and Lord Chen perform today?"
“They all explained their family affairs in detail in front of everyone, and tried to persuade everyone that taking a concubine was meaningless.
Your royal grandfather even praised you, saying you did a good job."
"As long as it's done well, I can concentrate on my cultivation."
Nangong Jiu said embarrassedly: "I didn't sleep well last night, and I slept in this morning and didn't get up to practice."
Speaking of cultivation, Nangong Honglie looked at Nangong Jiu worriedly.
"There are so many people and it's so noisy in the mansion. Are you unable to concentrate on your cultivation?"
"Grandfather, please give us the small room by the back garden. We will go there to practice."
"Okay, I'll have Chu Feng arrange for someone to clean it up.
Starting tomorrow, no one is allowed to enter the back garden, so no one will come to disturb you."
Nangong Jiu nodded repeatedly and thanked him: "Thank you, Grandpa!
Nangong Honglie nodded and looked at Nangong Jiu seriously.
"Jiu'er, there are two more pieces of news concerning you.
One is that the third prince of Southern Jin, Li Jinrui, was named the crown prince. It was heard that Li Jinrui was a good person.
Second, the group of people in Jiangyuan Prefecture have been imprisoned, and important criminals will be escorted back to Beijing for trial in the near future."
Nangong Jiu climbed into Nangong Honglie's arms and sat down.
He said happily, "Grandfather, these two pieces of news are also good news. Our General's Mansion has three good things today."
"Well, it's a triple blessing, worth celebrating. Someone, tell the kitchen to add a few more dishes!"
Nangong Jiu clapped his hands with joy.
Let’s add more dishes to celebrate.
The Third Prince's Mansion of Southern Jin.
Li Jinrui and his staff were also in the study, celebrating with tea instead of wine.
"Gentlemen, I thank you for your assistance. If you succeed in achieving that position in the future, I will definitely treat you well."
"Thank you, Your Highness! Your Highness's successful appointment as Crown Prince this time was truly a blessing in disguise."
"That's right! Speaking of which, we have to thank the princess of Dongling. If she hadn't killed the eldest brother and eliminated his private soldiers, we wouldn't have had much chance of success."
"Your Highness is right. With the eldest prince here, we really don't have much of an advantage.
But God is on our side. The eldest prince offended someone he shouldn't have, and he's being pursued for revenge."
Li Jinrui frowned. "We only know that he offended the princess of Dongling who was blessed by the gods, but we don't know what he actually did."
"She got the nickname Little Devil because she killed people from the underworld who tried to steal her sword.
Could it be that the eldest prince also sent people to kill her and steal her sword?"
“Don’t rule out this possibility!
That princess is blessed by the gods, and Dongling is growing stronger because of her. She is a figure we cannot afford to offend. If we have the opportunity, we must establish good relations with her.
In short, with the example of my eldest brother, we should control our people. Even if we can't be friends, we must not offend her."
The staff nodded in agreement and suggested, "Your Highness, that princess is the daughter of the Second Prince of Dongling. They live in Xizhou City. If there is a chance, we can arrange a meeting."
"Let's figure this out next year. If we can make good friends with them, there will be nothing but benefits."
"Your Highness, there is one more thing. The Second Prince is making some moves in secret. Should we fight back?"
"Not yet. I have just been crowned the Crown Prince, and my father is not in good health, so let him do whatever he wants.
But not fighting back doesn't mean not paying attention. Be careful of his ruthless moves."
The staff members responded solemnly, "Given the Second Prince's personality, he might really risk everything. We must be careful."
In a private house somewhere in the Southern Jin imperial city.
Several young people were listening carefully to the words coming out of the paper bird's mouth.
After listening to it, he carefully put it away and put it in his arms.
"The Emperor wants us to secretly help the Crown Prince consolidate his position and ensure his smooth ascension to the throne."
"The Second Prince has been making moves and has been in frequent contact with his private soldiers over the past two days. He might be plotting something. Let's try to alert the Third Prince."
"The Second Prince was born to a palace maid. He was never loved by the old emperor and was often bullied, which led to his cold personality.
When people like this get ruthless, it’s often difficult to deal with them…”
After discussing for a long time and deciding on some strategies, they took action separately.
The back garden of the general's mansion.
Before dusk, Nangong Jiu took Xiao Wang and Xiao Xing to the small house in the back garden to check.
"Well, it's not bad, quite clean and tidy, and they even thoughtfully put a few futons for us.
Starting tomorrow, we will come here to practice at the beginning of the morning hour. We cannot delay any longer."
Little Wang Xiaoxing turned around again.
"Your Majesty, I feel that the spiritual energy by that stream is very abundant. We can practice there."
"Let's refine the inner elixir in the house first."
This night.
Nangong Jiu went to bed early.
The next day, before dawn, he got out of bed on his own accord.
After calling the old nanny to help him wash up and have a simple breakfast, he took little Wang and Xiaoxing directly to the garden hut.
He took out two boxes of inner elixirs from his small pocket and distributed them to Xiao Wang and Xiao Xing. Then he took a box for himself and found a corner to sit down.
Apart from eating and sleeping, the few of them continued to refine their inner elixir.
This continued for several days before several boxes of inner elixirs were refined.
That morning, Nangong Jiu looked at the rising sun in the east and said to Xiao Wang Xiaoxing, "Let's climb the tree!"
After saying that, he jumped onto the top of a big tree, found a place with lush branches and leaves, and sat down cross-legged.
Little Wang and Xiaoxing followed suit and found their favorite places, sitting in meditation facing east to practice.
At lunch time, a few people came down from the treetop.
"Your Majesty, this is my first time meditating in a tree, but it seems to be working quite well. How did you come up with this idea?"
"I used to do that all the time, and sometimes even slept on it."
"Have you ever fallen?"
