Cai Xiaolian also remembered what happened back then.
When the Empress arrived in Chunnan County, Grandma Xiao almost always followed her.
Grandma Xiao's medicinal herbs are mostly kept in Lu Zheng's house in Kuncheng. Before Grandma Xiao comes back to prepare medicine, Gu Shouxin will melt the jade beads and sprinkle them into the herbs in the middle of the night.
It can be said that, apart from Gu Xin, the Empress ate the most jade beads in the world.
The empress gave birth at the age of forty without encountering any danger, and after giving birth, she did not show any signs of aging; on the contrary, she looked even younger.
Therefore, it is estimated that the little prince absorbed most of the jade bead while he was in the empress's womb.
After Gu Xin obtained this jade bead, she soon developed a photographic memory and learned everything very quickly. Therefore, after the little prince was born, he also learned everything very quickly.
Cai Xiaolian began to believe Gu Shouxin's explanation.
Gu Shouxin was very talkative today, and he brought up his plans for the young prince again.
He estimated that he could let go when the young prince turned sixteen, which would give him another ten years or so.
Gu Shouxin laughed and said, "Where you live, men retire at 60 and women at 55. So, I can retire early. Let's take good care of our health for the next ten years or so. When the time comes, I'll take you out to play. You can go wherever you want. Just the two of us, no kids!"
Cai Xiaolian smiled and said, "By then, the three little ones will have grown up, and even if you want to take them, they might not want to come with you! However, in more than ten years, the three of them should be married and have children. Shouldn't we keep an eye on them?"
“That’s easy!” Gu Shouxin said, taking Cai Xiaolian’s hand. “We’ll find them suitable partners over the next ten years or so. Once we’ve decided on a girl, we won’t say anything. We’ll go out and have some fun, explore the Great Zhou for two years. When we come back, we’ll see if there are any families we like. If there are, we’ll arrange the marriage. If not, we’ll have a matchmaker introduce them. If they still don’t seem interested, we’ll leave it to them. We don’t care whose girl they choose. We’ll divide the family property and live our own lives!”
Cai Xiaolian rolled her eyes at him: "Our Grandmother is still in very good health, and so are Father and Mother. With Father and Mother alive, there's no need to divide the family. In ten years or so, Father and Mother will be the same age as Grandmother is now. With them around, you brothers haven't even divided the family yet, and you still want to divide the family for the younger ones?"
Gu Shouxin thought about it and agreed, but this was even better: "Then we can just hand them over to our parents to take care of!"
Cai Xiaolian: "..."
So what's so good about raising a son? This is a classic case of forgetting one's mother after getting a wife! Even though she is the wife herself, she can't help but complain!
These things are still too far off, so Cai Xiaolian continued along with what he said. Anyway, no one knows what the situation will be like when that time comes, so it's okay to talk about it and dream about it now.
The couple chatted enthusiastically, and Gu Xin went back to her room, snuggled into the blankets, and fell asleep in no time.
She had a dream. She dreamt of a fat monk who just smiled at her, then waved his hand and disappeared.
The next day, Gu Xin couldn't remember the dream. She only knew that she had a dream, but couldn't remember what it was. However, she felt inexplicably good and very relaxed after waking up, and she didn't know why.
