It is the beginning of spring again, and new buds have just sprouted on the trees in the yard. There is no fragrance of flowers, no chirping of insects, and the wind blowing over still carries a bone-chilling chill.

Heather sighed and asked, "When will the coronation ceremony be held?"

Liang Qingchen said: "February 8th."

"The day after tomorrow? Why?"

"I know!" Tangtang came over and said, "This is the day when mom and dad are getting married."

Liang Qingchen raised his hand and scratched her little nose, then said with a smile: "Our Tangtang is smart."

Tangtang raised her chin with great pride: "Of course."

And Heather felt like a stray dog ​​squatting on the side of the road that was suddenly kicked. He rolled his eyes and said, "Why should I ask such a question if I have time?"

Jiang Muyu said with a sigh, "You are already an adult, when are you going to find a partner?"

Heather quickly waved her hands: "Don't bother me, I'm happy to be alone and free, I don't need someone to discipline me, and besides, I've been almost traumatized by taking care of the kids lately, I don't want to suffer this kind of torture for the rest of my life."

Nan Xing unexpectedly said, "We are quite obedient. If you can't stand such well-behaved and sensible children like us, I suggest you not harm others for the rest of your life."

Liang Jinghe nodded and agreed, "Yes, Uncle Shi, except for Tangtang who is young and inevitably a little bit delicate, Nanxing and I haven't caused you much trouble along the way."

Jiang Muyu also said: "My three children are easy to take care of, especially He'er and Nanxing, who have always been very sensible."

Heather sighed: "I just said a few words casually, why do you care so much? With my personality, how can a child born out of this be obedient?"

Liang Qingchen agreed with this point: "I'm afraid your son will be able to go in and out of Qinlou and Chuguan when he is three years old."

Several people laughed out loud in an unkind manner.

At this time, Tangtang asked in confusion: "Mom, what do you mean by talking about a partner?"

Jiang Muyu's laughter stopped abruptly. He touched his nose awkwardly and explained, "Uh... it's just like your father and I. Find a sweetheart to fall in love with."

"Wow-Tangtang also wants to date..."

Liang Jinghe immediately said: "No, you are still young."

Liang Qingchen agreed, "Yes, Tangtang, at your age, you should consider studying calligraphy or playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, instead of falling in love and having romantic affairs."

"Why?"

"Because boys your age are still ignorant, they can only trick you and steal your candied haws."

Hearing this, Tangtang immediately became unhappy: "Then I don't want to talk about a partner, I want Tanghulu."

Liang Qingchen was very satisfied: "That's right, daddy will bring you some candied haws tomorrow."

"Great, great."

He successfully brought the topic to the forefront.

The wind blew past, and Jiang Muyu shivered. He pulled up his clothes and stood up: "It's too cold. I'll go back to the house first. You guys continue."

Liang Jinghe also stood up: "Mom, let me see you off."

Jiang Muyu glanced at him and nodded.

The mother and son left the garden together.

Nanxing yawned, stood up and said goodbye, and Tangtang left with her.

There were only two men left in the yard. They looked at each other, then got up tacitly and went into the side room. Xu Lang very tactfully ordered someone to bring two jars of wine.

Heather opened the red seal on the jar, leaned over to take a sip, and said, "Not bad. I know it's good wine just by the smell."

"Of course, I have bad wine here."

"Hehe, that's right."

Heather poured two glasses of wine, and the two men clinked their glasses and drank them each.

"When you ascend the throne and become the emperor, I don't know when I can invite you for a drink again."

Liang Qingchen pursed her lips: "You can enter the palace."

He waved his hands: "You know, I don't like the rules and etiquette in the palace."

Liang Qingchen poured himself a cup and drank it. He couldn't promise that Heather could enter the palace freely. The palace had rules and the royal family had etiquette, and even he couldn't avoid it.

Shi Nanye naturally understood this principle, and from then on whenever he saw Liang Qingchen or Jiang Muyu, or even Liang Jinghe and Liang Jingtang, he would kneel down and salute them.

Having been friends for so many years and being called Uncle Shi for so many years, it's not that he can't abide by such red tape, but he just can't help but feel uncomfortable.

As the disparity in status increases, the distance between people also increases.

He blinked and said, "When my business reaches Xuancang in the future, I hope the emperor can open a back door for me."

Liang Qingchen curled his lips: "Of course, if Shi Dongjia asks, how can I not agree?"

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

…

In this side room, Liang Jinghe sent Jiang Muyu to the dormitory and was hesitating about how to start the conversation.

Jiang Muyu smiled gently and said, "He'er, do you have anything to ask me?"

He pursed his lips slightly and nodded.

"Just tell me what's going on, He'er."

"Well... Mother, I... just don't understand one thing..."

She waited patiently for him to speak.

Liang Jinghe frowned slightly and said, "From now on, I have become a member of Xuancang Country. Does that mean that the people and things of Tianqian Country have nothing to do with me?"

Jiang Muyu pulled him to sit down and said softly, "He'er, there is no need to divide things so clearly. Even though we are from Xuan Cang Country, the people of Tian Gan Country are not all enemies. I still have friends and relatives in Tian Gan Country. We will not hate each other because of this change in identity. Do you understand?"

"What about the Tianqian royal family? If Daddy ascends the throne and I become the crown prince, then are the Fifth and Sixth Princes destined to be my enemies?"

"It all depends on how you handle this friendship. If you can continue to be good friends, then it's possible to slowly promote friendship between the two countries. If you become enemies... Anyway, the relationship between Tian Gan and Xuan Cang is already hostile, so this is just adding fuel to the fire."

Liang Jinghe's brows were tightly furrowed, and he looked distressed.

Jiang Muyu raised her hand and touched his head, and said softly: "He'er, you don't have to bear such a heavy burden. Many things in this world cannot go as one wishes. In other words, if the Fifth and Sixth Princes have a grudge against you because of your status, then even if you give up your status as the Crown Prince, it will be useless. The ones you want to keep will eventually leave you."

"In this life, you will have many things, and correspondingly, you will also lose many things. If you only want to gain and not lose, you are too greedy. If you only think about what you have lost and don't care about what you have, then you will not be able to keep what you have."

Liang Jinghe only half understood what was said, but his eyes became sparkling.

She didn't expect him to understand immediately, so she just smiled and said, "You will gradually understand these principles in the future. Today, I just want to tell you that you don't have to worry so much. Just do whatever you want to do. Cherish the present and the people in front of you. At the very least, if you make mistakes, your father will support you."

He nodded vigorously: "I understand, mother."

"Just figure it out. It's getting late. Go back and get some rest."

"Okay, I'll take my leave now." He stood up and bowed.

"Well, go ahead."
