As Xiao Jin thought this through, all the confusion in his mind suddenly cleared up. He was the emperor, and his son was a prince; who dared to question him?
If he were truly afraid of these things, wouldn't others be able to attack him at will?
An emperor cannot have any weaknesses, nor will he change his decisions because of anyone's words.
Xiao Jin was lost in thought, while the two little rascals in his arms couldn't take it anymore.
Xiao Junlin, who was always quiet, could stay in Xiao Jin's arms. He obediently hugged Xiao Jin's shoulders with his two little hands, and two blushes rose on his fair face. He was incredibly docile and soft.
But the other little guy wasn't so easy to coax. Xiao Beizhan couldn't sit still for long and poked Xiao Jin's shoulder with his chubby little finger.
"Father, Father, let me down. I want to pick some flowers."
Song Lingxi was speechless at her little rascal. She tapped Xiao Beizhan's forehead, her voice soft and gentle, like a babbling brook.
"Don't act on a whim. Who was just running around like that? I wonder who they take after. They're so unpredictable. When you start studying, I'll have your teacher work on your temperament."
What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. When Xiao Jin heard her say, "I don't know who she looks like," all of her muscles tensed up, as if afraid that Song Lingxi would mention that person.
Fortunately, seeing that Song Lingxi's face was not gloomy at all, as if she had just said whatever came to mind unintentionally, Xiao Jin slowly relaxed.
Even after so many years, he still couldn't rest easy, especially since Xie Changling hadn't completely disappeared from everyone's sight as he had hoped.
On the contrary, he achieved great military exploits and became the "God of War" of the entire Xiao Kingdom. He found all kinds of legendary battles bizarre, but Xie Changling just survived them all.
Just as he was lost in thought, Xiao Beizhan pinched his nose with his soft little hand.
"Father, Father, let me down! I want Mother!"
Hearing him say that, even the usually well-behaved Xiao Junlin looked at him with expectant eyes.
After all, compared to their stern father, they were much closer to their mother, the sweet and soft-spoken empress. Who wouldn't love their mother?
"Hahahaha, no, your mother is weak, be careful not to tire her out. I will reluctantly carry you."
After Xiao Jin finished speaking, he winked at Song Lingxi. The couple's tacit understanding over the years made Song Lingxi instantly realize what Xiao Jin wanted to do.
"You two are about the same age, it's time for you to study in the Imperial Study. It's a good time to let your mother rest more. Would you like your mother to be in better health?"
"think!"
"I do!"
Well, these two kids are illiterate; they don't know the wickedness of people's hearts, let alone that this is a trick Xiao Jin and Song Lingxi came up with to fool them.
By the time they realized it, they had already lost their souls amidst the heavy workload.
The family chatted and laughed all the way back to Fengyi Palace.
The two children were still young, and after playing for a while, they fell asleep on Xiao Jin's shoulder.
"Your Majesty, look!"
Song Lingxi smiled and pointed to Xiao Beizhan, who was sleeping soundly with drool on his shoulder. A hint of amusement flashed in her eyes as she covered her mouth and chuckled, looking quite charming.
Xiao Jin felt helpless, but she didn't blame the children at all. Instead, she enjoyed being close to them.
Upon arriving at the palace, he placed the two little ones on the bed, kissed each of their cheeks, covered them with blankets, and instructed the nanny to take good care of them before going to bathe and change.
...
When he came out again, he saw Song Lingxi dressed in light clothes. He hugged her from behind, smelling her faint fragrance, and felt more and more satisfied.
Holding her wasn't enough; Xiao Jin's hands started to wander. He grabbed Song Lingxi's slender, soft waist with both hands and turned her around.
"Xi'er, Lin'er and Zhan'er are both asleep, should we...?"
Xiao Jin's hot breath fell on Song Lingxi. He gazed into Song Lingxi's eyes and saw his own clear reflection in them.
"It is daytime now, Your Majesty, you cannot issue a decree in broad daylight..."
It will be dark soon.
Xiao Jin reached out and covered Song Lingxi's eyes, then led her to the bed, drawing down the curtains and canopies to completely block out the sun.
So when Song Lingxi opened her eyes again, she could only see Xiao Jin's outline in the darkness, and those bright, fiery black eyes.
"emperor……"
"Call me A-Jin. I like it when you call me A-Jin."
Xiao Jin's voice was hoarse and longing. He had been worried about the war with the Northern Kingdom recently, and the two of them had not been this close for a long time.
“Ah Jin…”
Song Lingxi was dazed from the kiss; her eyes, filled with tears, were no longer clear, and she was easily led astray by the man.
When a soft, sweet "Ah Jin" was uttered, she could feel Xiao Jin's gaze growing increasingly intense.
Then, she felt a chill on her chest as the man ripped open her undergarments, revealing her full and tender breasts. Xiao Jin would secretly admire them every time he saw them.
Due to childbirth, Song Lingxi's figure became even fuller and more alluring than before. Her waist quickly returned to its original slenderness, but the dimensions of other parts were different.
Xiao Jin's eyes were terrifyingly fiery, as if he wanted to devour someone, which made Song Lingxi feel somewhat overwhelmed.
"Ah Jin, stop, stop looking."
Song Lingxi felt a little embarrassed. She stretched out her slender, white fingers and gently covered the man's eyes, her forehead covered in fine beads of sweat.
Xiao Jin chuckled softly. Sure enough, his Xi'er was still as adorable as ever. Even though she was already a mother of two, she still had the shyness of a young girl, which made his heart flutter.
