Chapter 154 The Daughter of a Guilty Minister vs. the Disabled Prince 68
Xiao Yan came out after washing up and changed into a bright yellow pajamas. He took a deep breath and stretched out his hand with great courage, "Come on, I'm ready!"
Ji Yunhuan put Xiao Yuer in Xiao Yan's arms. Seeing that Xiao Yan's body was stiff and he dared not move, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"You don't have to be so nervous. Xiaoyuer is very well behaved and rarely cries at night. If you hadn't woken him up, he would have slept until dawn."
"Don't just stand there like an idiot. Come and sit down. Pat him on the back. He's full and will fall asleep soon."
Xiao Yan sat down slowly. He didn't dare to pat his son. Such a soft little person seemed like he would break if touched. He was afraid that he would hurt his son with his clumsy hands.
Xiao Yuer felt very uncomfortable being held and was about to cry, so Ji Yunhuan had no choice but to take his son in and rock him to sleep.
Yuling came in and carried the sleeping little prince out, leaving only the emperor and the empress in the bedroom.
With the sweet and soft beauty in his arms, the endless longing for Xiao Yan condensed into a line. He wished he could rub Xiao Yun into his bones and blood. No matter how much he lingered with her, it would never be enough.
After a long time, Ji Yunhuan collapsed in Xiao Yan's arms. Xiao Yan kissed her over and over again. Knowing that she was tired, Xiao Yan did not proceed to the next step.
"Xiao Yun! My Xiao Yun! Xiao Yun, I'm sorry. I wasn't with you when our son was born. You must have been very scared, right? It won't happen again. I will always be with you."
The next morning, Xiao Yan left the city again. Amid the cheers of the people in the capital, he entered the city in grand style, wearing armor and riding a tall horse.
Ji Yunhuan was waiting for him at the city gate. The emperor and the empress walked hand in hand and accepted the worship of all the officials.
Liu Xi was also among the officials. He came from a scholarly family and had been well-read since childhood, dedicated to serving the country.
But someone in the clan offended Wu Xin, and the whole family suffered, so he entered the palace and became a eunuch. Even though he held great power and was favored by the emperor, he was just a eunuch who played power games!
So what if he is talented? So what if he has the ambition to serve his country? No one cares what a eunuch thinks?
Only the eldest prince at that time knew and understood him. The eldest prince was brilliant and talented, and only the eldest prince dared to risk the world's condemnation and let a eunuch be an official!
From the beginning to the end, the only person he was loyal to was the eldest prince!
Prince Rong Xiao Mu was wearing a prince's formal dress and eight oriental pearls on his head. He stood in front of all the officials, his big, sparkling eyes full of admiration, "Brother, you are so awesome!"
Lord Tian beside him coughed, and Xiao Mu immediately adjusted his expression and knelt on the ground with all the officials.
"Your Majesty is welcomed back to the capital in triumph. Long live His Majesty!"
As the magnificent music sounded, the people who were stopped outside by the Imperial Guards fell to their knees and shouted "Long live the Emperor!"
Xiao Yan stepped forward and helped his eighth brother up. He only had one younger brother left who could be used. Although he was a little timid, he had the help of Lord Tian, who could barely help him regulate the country.
"Thank you for your hard work while I was away."
Xiao Mu was flattered and began to stutter again with excitement, "Your Majesty, your Majesty is too kind. I am afraid... I am afraid that I will not do well and cause trouble for you, Your Majesty."
Ji Yunhuan gave Xiao Mu an encouraging look and said with a smile, "Prince Rong has helped His Majesty share his worries. Shouldn't His Majesty reward him with something? Why not let Concubine An leave the palace to live in luxury? This will also preserve the love between mother and son."
Xiao Yan didn't want to let his eighth brother get his wish so soon. His younger brother was too timid and really needed some experience.
If there is no carrot hanging in front of him, the eighth brother will not move at all.
"Forget it. Since the Queen has spoken, let Concubine An leave the palace at the end of the year. You are a prince, so you should share my worries more and stop staying in the palace all day."
Xiao Mu suppressed his excitement and shouted, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty. Long live the Queen!"

The new emperor worked hard to govern the country, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and there was widespread praise in the court. The only thing that people criticized was that there was only one empress in the new emperor's harem.
The censors were bored to death, so they found all kinds of ways to ask the emperor to expand his harem and have more children.
Xiao Yan was no pushover, and he beat several censors with a stick on the spot.
"I have few offspring because I was harmed by a traitor and suffered physical injuries. It is not the Queen's fault. I have always had difficulty in having offspring. The Queen has given birth to a prince, which is already a blessing from heaven."
"Even if I gather all the women in the world into the palace, I will not have children anymore. There is no need to discuss this matter any further. I will adjourn the court!"
After a few days, news suddenly came from the palace that the Queen was pregnant again!
Because the previous pregnancy was well taken care of and went smoothly, Xiao Yan ordered Wei Ling to "invite" Ye Jueming to the capital.
Ye Jueming stepped hard on Wei Ling and walked into Yunjing Palace angrily.
After taking his pulse, Ye Jueming widened his eyes in surprise, "What kind of shit luck did Xiao Yan have? With his shabby body, he can actually have children? This time they are twins. Xiao Yan must be so happy. But it's hard for you, Xiaoyun. It's very difficult to carry twins."
Ji Yunhuan used the Dragon and Phoenix Pill, so she naturally knew that she was pregnant with twins, but she still cooperated and showed a surprised expression.
"You can diagnose this? Xiaoye, you are really a miracle doctor! I'm not afraid when you're here."
Ye Jueming snorted coldly, "You just flatter me. Don't worry, I will help you, and this pregnancy will be safe!"
Wei Ling appeared out of nowhere, with a cold face and no expression, but her ears were quietly red. "You plan to stay in the capital, right?"
Ye Jueming raised his hand and punched Wei Ling, angrily saying, "It's none of your business!"
Wei Ling naturally wouldn't fight with Ye Jueming, he just blocked it, which made Ye Jueming even angrier, "Why are you hiding? Aren't you a mighty general? Aren't you good at fighting? Can you fight properly?"
The two of them ran away fighting and playing, and the whole yard was filled with Ye Jueming's chattering.
Not long after, Xiao Yan came back after hearing the news, and without saying a word, he carried Xiaoyun into the room.
Ji Yunhuan sat on the couch, Xiao Yan's hand gently covered her belly, Xiao Yan's eyes gradually turned red, and a tear fell into Ji Yunhuan's palm, which scared her.
"What's wrong? This is a happy occasion, why are you crying?"
Xiao Yan prostrated himself on Ji Yunhuan's knees, speaking in a muffled voice, "I had a dream last night. I dreamed that I became the emperor, but everyone disobeyed me. They said that I came to the throne illegitimately and would suffer disaster."
"I killed so many people. I clearly took back the northern border, but no one seems to remember my achievements. When I die, I am alone, without children, relatives or friends. I see Xiao State once again plunged into chaos, Chiyou's tribe has made a comeback, and the northern border has fallen into war..."
Ji Yunhuan knew that Xiao Yan had dreamed about his past life, and she patted Xiao Yan's back lovingly, just like coaxing a little fish.
Xiao Yan raised his head and tightly grasped Xiao Yun's hand. His upturned almond-shaped eyes were filled with fear. "There was no Xiao Yun in that dream! It's so scary. I can't even find Xiao Yun!"
