Many years later.
Yi Si has grown up into a handsome and adorable young boy.
One day, he was writing under a tree when he came across the line "My father gave me life" in a book. He stopped writing, tilted his head and thought for a moment, then asked Yiguang, who was playing the zither beside him, "Mother, everyone has one father, so why do I have two? Which one gave birth to me?"
The notes played by Yi Guang's fingertips suddenly stopped, and the music abruptly ceased.
Some distant memories surfaced in her mind, and she was about to answer, "Your father has passed away."
Suddenly, two voices said in unison, "It's me!"
Young Master Wei and Brother Butterfly, one holding a flute and the other playing a sheng, glared at each other, neither willing to give way.
Yi Guang, who rarely had a moment of peace, couldn't help but rub her forehead. "I must have done something terrible in my past life to have met these two enemies."
She glared at the two men, giving them a fierce look, and said softly, "Neither of them are your father. You were born posthumously; your father died before you were born. However, they both love you like their own son, and you must treat them as your biological father from now on. Do you understand?"
"Yes! I understand."
Having obtained the answer, Yi Si did not dwell on the question and quickly lowered his head again to read and write.
Yi Guang looked at the two of them with a cold smile.
Young Master Wei and Brother Butterfly immediately put on ingratiating smiles. "Wife, we have already brought the sheng and xiao. Why don't the three of us play a duet?"
"Hehe!" Yi Guang ignored the two of them.
"My wife, we already know we were wrong."
"hehe!"
"My wife, if you ignore me again, I'll kneel down and show you!"
"hehe!"
Time stands still in the mountains, only the fleeting moments of life remain.
The three of them spent their days together, experiencing the vicissitudes of life and the ups and downs of the world.
Yi Guang never regretted her choice of husbands. She was the last surviving member of the clan, and she still possessed the wildness of the clan and the enthusiasm and cheerfulness of a daughter of the clan. However, she also understood that the era of the clan had passed.
She was powerless to change anything around her, so she could only try her best to love the people around her.
"My wife, when will you give us a baby?"
"Now!"
...
After Jun Zhe became emperor, he worked diligently and made great efforts to improve the country.
During his fifteen-year reign, taking advantage of the fragmentation of the Rong state, he conquered most of its territory in one fell swoop.
During his 25-year reign, he accumulated strength and, along the border of the Rong state, conquered the remaining territory of the Rong state, which then completely disappeared from history.
For a time, Daliang became the most prosperous country, attracting tribute from all nations and enjoying the highest glory.
The territory of Daliang also reached its largest area in history.
Jun Zhe presided over the court affairs, while Linghu Lan managed the harem. The two worked together seamlessly, and everything was in perfect order. If they could have another child, everything would be perfect.
However, the only regret was that the couple never had any children.
The court officials were quite anxious. Having an heir was a matter of great importance, concerning the succession of the empire for generations to come. If the emperor had no heir, and everyone coveted the throne, the country would easily descend into internal strife.
For the sake of national stability, it is time to put the matter of having offspring on the agenda.
More and more people petitioned the emperor to select candidates for the imperial examinations, but the emperor ignored them all.
Someone then wrote directly to Linghu Lan, urging her to learn from the virtuous empresses of ancient times. Linghu Lan immediately punished the person for overstepping his bounds.
However, the matter still needs to be resolved.
As night fell, Jun Zhe and Linghu Lan finished their work and lay side by side on the bed talking.
