Looking at the two children, he tried to be more amiable.
"Do you have anything to say about today's imperial decree?"
Chen Chen forced a smile and said, "My younger brothers and sisters are born. My sister and I are happy for our father. Congratulations, father."
"What about you?" Shen Liao looked at Shen Yao again.
Chen Yao was obviously not as calm and composed as Chen Chen, so when asked this by Chen Liao, her tears started to flow.
"Daddy... she was conferred the title of Princess and adopted as the Emperor's daughter. Did you fall in love with her? If she gave birth to a younger brother or sister, then... you would love them more and never, ever pay attention to us again..."
Shen Liao reached out and rubbed her head. "I must tell you, she is my legally married wife. Even if she is not a princess or the emperor's adopted daughter, I will still love her."
"And you are my children, the eldest son and daughter of the Marquis's Mansion. No one can threaten your status, and no one will treat you unfairly. So, there is no need to be afraid."
"Father will always be your father, and the Marquisate will always be your home. Do you understand?"
They both nodded, but neither of them thought so in their hearts.
They all felt that their father would definitely favor Tu Qingyu's children in the future, after all, Tu Qingyu was the emperor's adopted daughter.
In fact, they were filled with hatred in their hearts. They hated their father and Tu Qingyu. Why did they have other children?
My father always says that no one will threaten their status. Isn't the least threatening way to do it to have no other children?
Just when Shen Liao thought he had made sense, he heard the two children's inner voices:
[What do you mean no one will be treated unfairly? Now that woman is in charge of all the household affairs in the mansion, and everyone in the mansion listens to her. How can this not be a threat?]
[Why have children? Why marry in? Why not just die?!]
Shen Liao was completely stunned. How could a well-behaved child be so vicious?
He said in a deep voice: "Do you really understand?"
The two children nodded seriously, "I understand, Dad. We will take good care of our younger brothers and sisters."
[Go to hell, who wants to protect them! I must find an opportunity to beat them up!]
If he didn't have this mind-reading ability, he would have no idea when the two children's hearts had become so twisted.
He was about to say something when the old lady's voice came from outside.
"What did you talk to them about? Why did you take so long?"
She hurried over and saw the tear marks on Chen Yao's face at a glance.
"Oh, my dearest grandmother, why are you crying? Huh?"
"Brother Liao!" She looked at Shen Liao, "Why did you make the child cry again?"
"Grandma!" Shen Liao now felt a deep sense of powerlessness every time he met the old lady. "I was just reasoning with them. Besides, I'm their father. Even if I beat them, who can say anything?"
"Speaking of reason? Will Sister Yao cry just by speaking of reason?"
Chen Yao, however, clutched her hem and said pitifully, "Grandma, Daddy really didn't scold us. Grandma, please don't blame Daddy. It's all our fault."
"Look at you, look at you, such a good kid, I really don't know what you are thinking?!"
Shen Liao frowned when he heard these words. Where did she learn this from?
He looked at the old lady seriously and said, "Grandmother, I'll say this one last time. Spoiling a child is like killing him. You can't protect them forever. If this continues, how can I dare to hand over this huge mansion to Brother Chen? If the mansion falls into my hands, how can I face my ancestors!"
His words were a bit harsh, but when he mentioned his ancestors, the old lady fell silent.
She also wondered if she had spoiled her two children too much.
If it is true as Shen Liao said, the Marquis Mansion was defeated by her, in the future...
But she also felt that it was embarrassing to be told this by her own grandson, so she snorted, "Okay, okay, you can teach your own son from now on. I won't be in charge anymore. I want to see what kind of genius you can raise."
From then on, she really never cared about Shen Chen's education again.
Chen Yao also came from the palace and was raised by many nannies, so she grew up to be graceful and elegant.
A month later, Tu Qingyu was discharged from confinement, and the triplets’ full moon party was a grand one-month celebration.
After all, Tu Qingyu is now the emperor's adopted daughter, and they can be called royal relatives.
Chen Yao had also been warned in advance and did not dare to cause trouble at the full moon banquet.
After the full moon banquet, she brought her child to the palace to express her gratitude.
"Your Highness, long live the Emperor."
"Stand up, child. I have already issued an edict to adopt you as my adopted daughter. You should now address me as Father."
Tu Qingyu raised his head and smiled, "Should my daughter offer tea before changing her tune?"
The old emperor was stunned the moment he saw her beauty. Even though he had three thousand beauties in his harem, none of them were as pretty as Tu Qingyu if they were tied up.
Fortunately, he is old now and not very interested in beauty. He also knows that Tu Qingyu is both his wife and adopted daughter.
He looked at the three children being held behind her, and his eyes quickly became kind.
"Okay, okay, someone, bring the tea!"
Tu Qingyu came forward with tea, "Father, please have some tea."
After the old emperor took the tea and took a sip, he raised his hand. Behind him were several palace maids holding trays.
"This is a gift from the Emperor for you and your grandchildren."
"Thank you, Father."
Tu Qingyu took a quick look and saw that what she was given was a token to enter the palace and a jade pendant, and what she was given to the child was a longevity lock and a matching jade pendant.
All of them are of top quality and priceless.
After the two of them exchanged pleasantries, the old emperor looked directly at the children and said, "Hurry and bring them to me."
He hugged this one and that one, and indeed felt unprecedented relief.
He became more convinced that these children were his lucky stars.
Fortunately, the children were not shy. When he held them in his arms, they smiled, babbled, and stretched out their hands, which was very pleasing to the eye.
Even without that kind of spiritual energy, he is still a lovable child.
Yes, spiritual energy. After the previous life, Tu Qingyu became more adept at letting the child cultivate innate energy in her belly.
The three children are better than the children in the previous life in terms of physique, mental acuity, etc.
The youngest daughter even has a talent for cultivation. Although it is not much, she can still use some small spells when she learns them.
She can live a much more relaxed life than most women of this era.
After staying in the palace for a whole morning and having dinner with the old emperor, she was taken back by Shen Liao with a cartload of rewards.
Before leaving, the old emperor also instructed Shen Liao, "You boy, you must treat my daughter well."
Shen Liao bowed, "I will definitely live up to your Majesty's trust."
On the way back, Shen Liao asked, "Are you okay?"
Tu Qingyu: "The emperor is very friendly, everything is fine, don't worry."
Shen Liao: "That's good."
In fact, he had already guessed that the emperor's abnormal behavior was probably because they had the same dream that day.
He, the Fourth Prince and the Emperor.
Five days later, Tu Qingye got married and Tu Qingyu went back to attend the wedding banquet.
