Shangguan Lingyun was happy when he learned that Dugu Xin was selecting a concubine with great fanfare.
However, at this moment Ye Xiaoxiao kept her head down and remained silent, which made him feel a little worried.
"Xiaoxiao, are you unhappy about Dayu's selection of concubines?"
Ye Xiaoxiao came back to her senses and looked at Shangguan Lingyun, who looked like he was about to get jealous, and she couldn't help laughing.
"What are you thinking? What does his choice of concubine have to do with me?"
"Or, you see that when others become emperors, they have to choose concubines, and you are also tempted?"
Shangguan Lingyun grabbed Ye Xiaoxiao's hand and swore to her solemnly.
"Xiaoxiao, please don't wrong your husband. I have always said that you are the only one I need in this life."
"As for choosing a concubine or not, relying on women to consolidate one's position is something I will never do as a husband."
Ye Xiaoxiao sighed, "Dayu's situation is different from Daxia's, and choosing a concubine is also a last resort."
"Let's not talk about that for now. Let me ask you, if one day I'm gone, will you also choose a concubine?"
Shangguan Lingyun frowned, "Xiaoxiao, are you hiding something from your husband?"
Ye Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly and shook her head. "I just asked casually. If you don't like to hear it, then I won't say it."
Shangguan Lingyun pulled Ye Xiaoxiao aside and listened carefully to her thoughts. Unfortunately, Ye Xiaoxiao was upset at the moment and didn't think about anything.
Shangguan Lingyun did not hear the inner voice and could only rely on his own guess.
"Xiaoxiao, your mood has been fluctuating since you became pregnant. Are you feeling unwell, or are you hiding something from your husband?"
Ye Xiaoxiao: [How should I tell him? Sigh, maybe I'm overthinking it.]
[Looking at Dugu Xin's management of Dayu, it seems unlikely that Daxia will be able to unify Dayu anytime soon.]
[And I'm already a month or two pregnant now. It would be impossible to do it before I give birth, let alone before my child turns ten.]
When Shangguan Lingyun heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
[Could it be that this system is intended to allow Xiaoxiao to unify Daxia and Dayu?]
[So what does this have to do with having children? Could it be that this mission has a time limit?]
Thinking of this, Shangguan Lingyun didn't care whether Ye Xiaoxiao would suspect that he had eavesdropped on her thoughts.
"Xiaoxiao, that system you mentioned that rewards you will also punish you if you fail to complete certain tasks?"
Ye Xiaoxiao was thinking about something, so she didn't hear Shangguan Lingyun's thoughts. When she heard him ask, she was a little confused.
"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
Shangguan Lingyun smiled faintly, "I just suddenly remembered and asked casually."
Ye Xiaoxiao frowned and thought for a long time. Apart from the fact that she was going to be wiped out when she first came in and started the plot, there had never been any punishment since then.
"There are no penalties, just system rewards related to this world."
Shangguan Lingyun felt relieved after hearing this, and then asked again.
"Xiaoxiao, do you have any wishes? Like unifying the world, or living a long life or something like that."
Ye Xiaoxiao was amused by Shangguan Lingyun's words and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Husband, what's wrong with you today? Why do you always ask strange questions?"
"However, speaking of this, I would like to ask you."
"Have you ever thought about annexing Dayu and unifying the two countries?"
Shangguan Lingyun shook his head. "If Daxia doesn't even want to be her husband, how could she think of annexing Dayu?"
"What's more, Dayu is now under the control of Dugu Xin. There will definitely be no conflict in the short term."
"Isn't it good for the people to live and work in peace? Why do we have to start a war?"
Ye Xiaoxiao thought about it and nodded with a faint smile.
"That's right. As an emperor, the most important thing is to ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment, and then expand the territory."
"As for unifying the world, it is definitely what every emperor wants to do."
"However, with great power comes great responsibility. I don't want anything else right now. I just want my children to grow up happily."
"We will take care of the children, the queen mother, and all the family members and hope they are safe and sound."
Shangguan Lingyun pondered silently when he heard this. However, he had thought of many possibilities, but he had never thought that the unification of the world would give Ye Xiaoxiao the opportunity to leave.
Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of him, Shangguan Lingyun stopped thinking about it and chatted with Ye Xiaoxiao about some other things.
After a few more days, Princess Xinya and Ye Sheng finally returned.
But when Princess Xinya learned that everyone was pregnant, she felt depressed.
Seeing this, Ye Sheng whispered a few words in her ear, and Princess Xinya's pretty face immediately turned red.
Li Jingjing was very happy to see her husband back, but when she saw the interaction between Princess Xinya and Ye Sheng, she left Ye Rong and ran to them.
"Oh, this young couple has been traveling around for so long, their relationship has definitely grown quite a bit, hehe."
Wang Muxue also laughed, "Second sister-in-law, my fourth brother and his wife are going to visit their parents, so they are naturally happy."
Princess Xinya is a hot-tempered person by nature, so how could she let the two of them make fun of her at will?
"You two, you still have the nerve to criticize me? Look at you, your progress is so rapid. It's only been a few days, and you're all pregnant."
"And second sister-in-law, second brother finally came back, but instead of being affectionate with him, you came here to tease me."
When Wang Muxue heard this, she burst into laughter.
"Second sister-in-law, you're usually the best at home, but now you've met your match."
Princess Xinya glared at Wang Muxue angrily, "Third sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you have also learned bad habits from her."
