"I don't know how Prince Li gained the emperor's trust. The emperor always favors him unconditionally. I'm worried that if you two fight... it will be disadvantageous to you."

"Don't think too much."

His fingertips gently touched her brow, smoothing it.

She had shouldered a lot while he was gone.

Now that he is back, no matter what happens, she doesn't have to worry as long as he is there, and she can leave everything to him.

"When an enemy comes, we will fight him with our generals; when water comes, we will block it with earth. People are born to be troubled, and they are also born to solve troubles. Since the emperor favors him, there must be other ways to fight his way out."

As long as they were together as a family, that was all that mattered.

To him, the throne and other things were dispensable. The only thing he wanted was her and the child.

Qin Ye sighed softly, moved his body, nestled into his arms, and snuggled into his chest.

Breathing in the minty scent of him makes me feel particularly at peace.

When we meet again after a long separation, let’s not mention this unlucky thing.

"Oh, by the way," she said suddenly, "the baby hasn't been named yet."

At the beginning, he said that if it was a boy, he would be named Jingxing; if it was a girl, she would be named Yungui; now that he has two daughters, one name is not enough.

He held his forehead:

"When I saw your big belly, I thought you were fat, but I never thought you would give birth to two children. I was careless and negligent."

"Do you have a favorite name?"

Qin Ye did not comment: "I gave birth to you, and you still want to be lazy about naming you? You come up with it?"

"Even though you gave birth to me, didn't I also help during the pregnancy? I was so tired at that time."

“…”

He has been talking nonsense again after less than three sentences.

Qin Ye glared at him, grabbed the flesh on his chest with his small hands, and twisted it as a warning.

"hiss--"

You are so naughty!

"I think so. I think so." He smiled and raised his hands to beg for mercy, his eyes full of doting light. He pondered seriously for a long time before he spoke carefully:

"The reeds are thick and dense, the white dew has not yet dried, so my sister took the word 'Wei Xi'."

"The deer is calling, and the food is from the wild. My sister will be named Luqin. What do you think, Ye'er?"

Both of these sentences come from the Book of Songs and have beautiful meanings.

"Wei Xi? Zong Zheng Wei Xi, Zong Zheng Lu Qin, good, good." Qin Ye said softly, smiling with satisfaction.

The elder sister is called Wei Xi and the younger sister is called Lu Qin.

"Tomorrow I will go to the Ministry of Revenue and ask the Minister of Revenue to register their names."

"You stay at home and take good care of yourself. You don't need to go out. I will call the Minister of Revenue over tomorrow after the court session."

"Okay."

"It's getting late. I'll hold you and sleep."

"Um!"

That night, Qin Ye had his first sound sleep in more than three months. As soon as he closed his eyes, he fell asleep peacefully.

I had a dreamless and very good sleep that night.

The next day.

Early morning.

In the court.

King Chen returned to report on the war and returned in triumph. He defeated the Xiongnu in the northern border and convinced them. He signed a fifty-year peace treaty with them, stating that the Xiongnu would not invade Dongling Kingdom again within fifty years. He achieved fifty years of peace and made great contributions, which won the praise of officials.

After the war discussions were over, the issue of appointing a crown prince was discussed again.

Yesterday, many people saw the dispute between Princess Chen and Princess Li on the street, and many officials also heard about it. They believed that Princess Li was immoral and incompetent and was not worthy of being the Crown Princess.

In addition, with Prince Chen's triumphant return, those officials who had been silent before now stood up and unitedly opposed the establishment of a crown prince:

"Your Majesty, the position of Crown Prince is the foundation and pillar of the future of Dongling State. It cannot be established lightly, nor can it be abolished at will. I hope you will think twice!"
