Yu Tang whispered, "What does Mother mean? How come she suddenly understands?"
"have no idea."
Yu Jing began to look forward to nightfall; he even sent a message to Night God, urging him to go to work early.
Not long after, it got dark. Yu Jing lay on the bed in the study, feeling uneasy. He didn't know if his mother would come today. He only felt relieved when he heard footsteps at the door.
Sisi looked at the person sleeping soundly on the bed, sighed softly, reached out and pulled his blanket up a little, and then put away his shoes that were scattered in pieces.
“Your father came to see me today, saying that I have been too harsh on you. I have thought about it and it is true.”
"Mother just hopes that you can inherit my position as soon as possible." Thinking of this, Sisi suddenly smiled, "Mother actually has her own selfish reasons. Mother wants to abdicate."
“But your father is right. Children should also have their own joys. I know, I know. Yu Jing is unhappy. Yu Jing resents her mother.”
Sisi reached out and touched his forehead. "Mother was wrong. I've stopped pressuring Yujing. Don't blame me."
After she left, Yu Jing's tears fell uncontrollably. He held the book of phenomena and cried almost all night. Yu Tang next door did the same.
The next day, Sisi was exempted from the morning court session and spent her first leisurely time feeding the fish by the Heavenly Pool. Zhou Qiyan had been angry with her for the past two days, and the two of them had not slept together.
When he came out and saw this scene, he was somewhat surprised. He wanted to say something, but then stopped because he was angry.
"Mother, feed some to Ali too."
Hearing Yu Tang's voice, Si Si turned her head. Yu Tang and Yu Jing were standing together. She was holding a fish tank with a colorful koi inside.
Sisi smiled and said, "Bring it here."
Yu Tang released the koi into the Heavenly Pool, then turned and hugged her. Si Si was taken aback, then chuckled, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing much, I just miss my mom and want to hug her. She still smells so good, just like when I was little."
Yu Tang's voice was muffled.
Sisi patted her head and said, "You can come to me whenever you miss me. You don't have to hold back. I miss Yutang too."
She looked up at Yu Jing again and smiled slightly, "And Yu Jing, Mother misses Yu Jing too."
Yu Jing lowered her eyes, letting the shadows on her eyelashes cover her eyelids, and said in a deep voice, "I miss my mother too."
He carefully took a step forward, and Sisi reached out and pulled them into her arms, her eyes slightly moist.
"I'm sorry," Yu Jing said, choking back tears. "I shouldn't have been angry with Mother, and I shouldn't have resented her."
"It's Mother's fault, not Yu Jing's."
After that day, the two little ones often came to the main hall. Without Sisi's supervision, they no longer neglected their studies and were only interested in playing.
In just a few days, Yu Jing's homework became more and more impressive, and Si Si also realized that the previous education was wrong and that learning and playing should coexist.
They've made up, but Zhou Qiyan can't bring himself to do it.
This was the first time he had ever given Sisi the cold shoulder.
"Dad, aren't you always thick-skinned? Just coax Mom a little, or do you want to sleep alone forever?" Yu Tang covered her mouth and chuckled.
Yu Jing also laughed, "Father is a man, and a man should be able to bend and stretch. You should go and say some nice words to Mother."
Zhou Qiyan said with a straight face, "She made a mistake first. If I hadn't spoken up, would you two brats have made up with her? Now you're blaming me."
Yu Tang pouted and pulled Yu Jing, saying, "Come on, let's ignore Dad and let him sleep on the cold bed alone!"
"..."
Zhou Qi was furious. "You two heartless brats, believe me or not, I'll have another baby with your mother and isolate you two!"
Yu Jing said calmly, "You can't even touch my mother's finger now, how can you have another one?"
"..."
Zhou Qiyan clutched his chest, "You really hurt your father's feelings, you really are his own son."
"You should go see your mother!"
After much thought, Zhou Qiyan realized that things couldn't continue like this, and he needed to get closer to them.
Before they even reached the main hall, Mingyue, who had just finished her morning court session, ran over gleefully, "Oh my, you look so much older these past few days!"
Zhou Qiyan didn't want to pay attention to him, but he kept following him. "You've been with His Majesty for so long, look at you, your beard has grown, your skin isn't smooth anymore, your eyes aren't as bright, and especially your waist!"
Mingyue patted his waist hard and said meaningfully, "Your waist can't compare to that of a young man who's two or three hundred years old."
"What exactly are you trying to say?"
"You still don't know?"
Mingyue glanced at him in surprise. "Don't you know that this morning at court, a celestial minister advised His Majesty that he has few offspring and suggested recommending several celestial attendants to him? His Majesty agreed."
Zhou Qiyan looked at him coldly, "You're talking nonsense."
"I didn't. If you don't believe me, go ask His Majesty. That celestial attendant was sent into the palace a long time ago, and might already be serving him. You, you're getting old."
After Mingyue finished speaking, she waved her hand and left.
Zhou Qiyan rushed into the main hall and saw the scene before him, which made him so angry that he saw stars.
She was washing and dressing when several beautiful and well-built fairy servants knelt on the ground, dressed in white gauze robes, as if waiting for her favor.
Before Sisi could even tell them to go back, saying she didn't need any immortal servants, she saw Zhou Qiyan storming over angrily. "What do you mean? Are you tired of me?"
"What?"
He pointed angrily at those people, "What do these people mean? They've replaced me so quickly?"
Sisi wanted to explain, but he didn't give her a chance to speak at all. Sisi was a little helpless. "Are you done?"
"You're getting impatient with me now? You think I'm too old? That's why you're looking for these younger guys?"
Sisi stood up and reached out to touch his face, but her wrist was suddenly grabbed. Zhou Qiyan's eyes were red. "If you don't like me anymore, just tell me and I'll leave."
Where did I say I didn't like you?
"So you're looking for these people?"
Sisi waved for them to leave, then turned around and slowly walked to the low couch and sat down.
"These people were all placed here by the immortal minister. I didn't intend to do anything about it. If you want to leave, you don't have to force a title on me. Just leave."
Zhou Qiyan knew he had misunderstood and remained silent.
"Anyway, you never come here, and I think our relationship is almost worn away. Perhaps I should consider what Xianchen said. After all, I am the Heavenly Emperor, and two children are indeed too few."
Sisi said to the fairy maid, "Go, let them in, I'll make my selection."
"You're not allowed to go! Get out of here, all of you!"
At Zhou Qiyan's roar, all the fairies scrambled away. He stared at Sisi, sneered, and grabbed her wrist.
Sisi smiled faintly, "What?"
"Didn't you complain that there weren't enough children?"
"..."
