"Hui'er, what are you doing sitting on the ground again?"
Qin Chuan, dressed in a dragon robe, picked up Qin Hui, who was five years old. She was clever and quick-witted, and loved to sit on the ground and play in the mud.
"Father, Father, hug me..."
Qin Hui wrapped her arms around Qin Chuan's neck and rubbed mud all over him with her hands.
"Oh dear, look at me, my little princess, my darling, what are you playing with? You're covered in mud, and your mother is going to spank you again."
Qin Chuan's dragon robe was covered in mud from her rubbing.
"Father, I'm building a tank..."
Qin Hui grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, just like her mother, Su Ruyan.
Qin Chuan looked down and saw that his daughter was indeed building a tank.
"A girl like you, playing in the mud all day, have you been reciting poems with your older cousin?"
Pinching Qin Hui's chubby little face, Qin Chuan asked with a stern expression.
The "cousin" he mentioned was Princess Xiao Shan.
Upon hearing this, Qin Hui replied with a grin, "I've memorized it, Father, I'll recite it for you—"
"Goose, goose, goose, with its neck bent, it sings to the sky."
"White feathers float on green water, red webbed feet stir clear waves."
Qin Chuan smiled with satisfaction and affectionately patted Qin Hui's head. "Hui'er is such a good girl. From now on, you can learn a lot from your cousin."
"But Father, why hasn't my cousin gotten married yet...?"
"Uh, this is complicated... I'll explain it to you later."
Faced with the difficult question posed by Qin Hui, Qin Chuan didn't know how to answer her. He couldn't very well tell her the truth—that he had taken in both Su Rushi and Xiao Shan's daughter.
He carried Qin Hui and walked towards the palace, only to see Xiao Li, dressed in a magnificent gown, leading a group of beauties including Xiao Yue, Su Ruyan, Jiang Yao, Su Rushi, Jiang Ran, Jiang Lianyue, Ping'er, Yuan'er, Xue Rou, Lou Shishi, Wan Chun, and Mu Xia, walking towards him.
Some of these beauties were alone, while others were holding their children's hands, all wearing charming smiles and looking blissful.
"Yan'er!"
The four-year-old son, Xiao Yan, wearing a golden crown, came running over to Qin Chuan, wagging his little body and calling out, "Father! Father! Hug me!"
Qin Chuan was holding Qin Hui when he put her down and picked up Xiao Yan.
"Royal sister, your face is covered in mud, hee hee!"
Xiao Yan looked at Qin Hui and smiled.
At this moment, Su Ruyan noticed that her daughter was covered in dirt, and couldn't help but reach out and slap her bottom. "Hui'er, you're so disobedient, all you do is play. Your mother is going to be driven crazy by you..."
They actually couldn't bear to hit him; they were just putting on an act.
"Your Majesty, it's time. Let's set off!"
Xiao Li took Xiao Yan from Qin Chuan's arms.
"Okay, let's go!"
"Get in the car!"
Qin Chuan and his wives got into ten cars, all of them bulletproof. They were going on a spring outing, and they had agreed to go fishing and have a picnic together.
The spring sun shines brightly, and a gentle breeze blows.
Willows sway gently, their branches swaying lightly.
Peach blossoms smile in the spring breeze, their pink and white petals fluttering in the air, their fragrance filling the fields, a scene of splendor and romance.
On the official road, cars sped by, while rows of pedestrians dressed in light gauze robes walked along the roadside, laughing and chatting.
Upon arriving at the destination, Qin Chuan took out several large boxes of fishing gear and distributed them to his wives and children.
The river was calm, and everyone cast their lines together, waiting for the fish to bite.
On the green grass, children chased and played, flying colorful kites, their laughter filling the clear sky.
Not far away, the mountains are verdant and lush, like a fairyland.
The reflections of both banks of the stream are outlined on the water's surface.
Passersby looking at this row of fishermen would never guess that they are the current emperor and his consorts, princes, and princesses.
Su Ruyan floated cups of fragrant wine down from upstream using large lotus leaves. Qin Chuan glanced at her and laughed, "Fishermen don't drink."
"This is called 'flowing water and curved wine cups,' you still so clueless about romance." Su Ruyan smiled, her smile full of charm.
"I don't understand romance, I only know how to flirt."
When Qin Chuan said this, all the women blushed, thinking of the great satisfaction they received when serving him in bed. For a moment, they all stared at their floats, their faces turning red.
Only Xiao Li feigned anger and patted his shoulder with her slender hand: "You're being indecent again. Can't you just fish properly?"
"Go fishing properly, hehe, Hui'er, come here, your father will teach you how to fish."
Qin Chuan called Qin Hui to his side, and Su Ruyan also took the opportunity to move her fishing spot next to him.
Xiao Shan and Xiao Yue also joined them.
"What... I'm teaching Hui'er, why are you all joining in?"
Qin Chuan embraced Qin Hui, who gripped the pole and stared intently at the water.
"The fish is biting, time to lift the rod... lift the rod!"
Qin Hui tried to lift the pole, but it felt incredibly heavy and she couldn't lift it at all.
"Wow, Hui'er caught a big fish! Look at you all, you're not even as good as Hui'er!"
Qin Chuan helped to fish for a while, then scooped it up with a net. It was a large grass carp weighing three or four pounds.
Qin Hui clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Mother! Look! I caught one! I caught one!"
"Yes, Hui'er is wonderful!"
Su Ruyan smiled and pinched her chubby little face.
Xiao Yue cast her line, tugging at Jiang Lian Yue a few times. Jiang Lian Yue stared at the bobber on the water's surface: "Hey, stop pulling me! What are you doing? Just say what you want to say!"
Xiao Yue wrinkled her nose. "Don't think I won't hit you just because you're strong."
"What do you want? Tell me."
"Move over a bit, don't take my fishing spot."
