Chen Palace.

Zong Zhengchen came back from court and never mentioned the matter of Prince Li. Qin Ye probably understood what was going on and did not ask any more questions. After breakfast, he focused on accompanying his two children.

Both children are very well behaved and stick to Zong Zhengchen.

He sat beside the cradle, holding one in his left hand and one in his right hand, filling his arms.

Yue'er patiently taught:

"My Lord, when you hold a child, you must pay attention to the position of your arms and make sure to support the little lady's head..."

Balabala.

Zong Zhengchen studies very hard.

Yunying sat in front of the bed and massaged Qin Ye's acupoints to promote postpartum recovery.

Concubine Tong was standing by, looking at this harmonious and happy family scene, and she felt so relieved and happy in her heart.

Half an hour later.

Qin Ye rested well, sat up, and with Yun Ying's help, got out of bed and walked around.

She walked to the man, looked at the two children in his arms, and said:

"Is it heavy? Let me hug you."

As he said that, he took his sister in his arms.

As soon as I took her away, my sister started crying.

"Wow--"

"Let me do it." Zong Zhengchen put the elder sister back into the cradle, then skillfully picked up the younger sister, held her in his arms, and patted her chest to coax her gently.

After a while, my sister behaved well.

Three black lines slid down Qin Ye's forehead:

"Why do I kiss you like that?"

No matter how she was coaxed, it wouldn't work. Would Zong Zhengchen just need to hug her?

Zong Zhengchen raised his eyebrows slightly with pride:

"Isn't it? My blood is flowing in her body, so it's natural for her to kiss me."

Qin Ye: "Doesn't she have my blood flowing in her body?"

Concubine Tong: “…”

Yue'er Yunying: "..."

Zong Zhengchen: “…”

That may be because like repels like and opposites attract, so my sister likes Zong Zhengchen so much.

Don't worry about this little problem. No matter who the child is close to, he or she is their own flesh and blood. As long as the child can grow up safely and healthily, other problems are not a problem.

Concubine Tong interrupted to ease the atmosphere:

"The Minister of Revenue came just now and has registered the child's name and entered it into the royal family tree. Wei Xi and Lu Qin are really good names."

Zong Zhengchen patted the child, "Little Luqin, go to sleep quickly, your father and your mother have to go do something else."

Concubine Tong choked on her saliva:

“Ahem!”

Doing other things?

Sorry, she got it wrong...

His old face turned red.

Qin Ye looked at Zong Zheng Lu Qin, who was not close to her, and then looked at the extremely well-behaved Zong Zheng Wei Xi, and still kept his eyes on his sister:

"Wei Xi, Wei Xi, you must be a caring little cotton-padded jacket for your mother. If you two sisters are not caring, your mother will have a second child."

The chubby little Weixi blinked her two big black grape-like eyes, held Qin Ye's index finger with her soft little hand, grinned, and suddenly laughed:

“Giggle!”

Waving little hands and kicking little legs.

That chubby, white, dough-like cute appearance is so heartwarming.

"The imperial edict has arrived—"

Suddenly, there was a report.

Qin Ye paused, subconsciously looked up at Zong Zhengchen, and then went out to receive the order.

The father-in-law on Xuan paper opened the imperial edict and read aloud:

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that Prince Chen is both virtuous and talented, benevolent and kind, has made military achievements and stabilized the country. I hereby grant him ten thousand taels of gold as a reward for the three armies, and order him to be granted nine cities in the Jiangnan area as fiefdoms. I decree this!"

Give money and land.

Qin Ye was surprised.

Zong Zhengchen originally had a fiefdom, and the emperor granted him nine more cities, which were in the fertile and rich area of ​​Jiangnan.

If you add up the total area and calculate carefully, the territory of Zong Zhengchen's fiefdom accounts for almost a quarter of the Dongling Kingdom.

How could the emperor be so confident in giving Zong Zhengchen such great power?

What do you mean?
