The emperor replied, "Go to Xuanhuang Country and kill the remaining soul of Prince Rui and Yuan Zhan."
"Really? My son is going to kill someone?" Ye Jingtan's eyes lit up, and he was thinking about what gift he should buy to reward his son.
"Um……"
"I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to look for my son. Besides, I haven't even met my daughter-in-law... You haven't told me where she comes from?"
"Lanzhi, I wonder if you have seen her?"
"Of course I have seen it..." The last time Ye Jingtan met Lan Zhi, he gave Lan Zhi two pieces of moon-shadow jade. Each piece of jade contained a kind of magical power. It's just that her things were given away. But at that time, Ye Jingtan heard Lan Zhi say that she didn't want to learn. At that time, Ye Jingtan was thinking of coming back in a few months, but Ye Jingtan encountered some things in the demon world and was delayed for several months, which led to his late return.
"Jingtan, wait for me. I'll change into casual clothes and go with you."
"Hurry up, don't dawdle."
…
…
Lan Zhi actually seldom went shopping, but now that she had a child, she wanted to take the child out to see the world. In her previous life, Qing'er had never left Prince Rui's mansion and had never seen the outside world. She had lived in that small courtyard all her life and had never seen children of the same age. She was very timid. Therefore, whenever Jun Weihe took An'an away, Lan Zhi would take Qing'er out to relax. Qing'er was easier to take care of than ordinary babies. She lay obediently in Lan Zhi's arms, her pupils as bright as obsidian looking around curiously. Whenever she saw something that interested her, she would stretch out her little hand and point at it, and Lan Zhi would introduce it to her:
"This is a candied haws. It tastes sour and sweet. When you grow up, mother will buy it for you."
"This is roast chicken. It's a bit greasy, but you're still too young..."
"These are masks. Whichever one Qing'er likes, mother can buy it for you."
Qing'er shook her little hands to indicate that she didn't need it.
The mother and daughter continued to walk around the street. Qing'er's eyes were fixed on the little sugar man. She stretched out her hand to point. After Lan Zhi finished introducing it, Qing'er stuck out her tongue, smacked her lips, and then exclaimed "Ah——".
Lan Zhi asked, "Do you want to eat?"
Qing'er nodded.
Lan Zhi said, "Children's teeth can easily get damaged if they eat sweet things."
Qing'er was anxious and opened her mouth wide. She hadn't grown any teeth yet, so how could her teeth be rotten?
"You... forget it, I'll give you a taste." Lan Zhi bought a candy man, put it next to Qing'er's lips, and asked her to lick it.
"Okay, no more food."
Qing'er smacked her lips. She just wanted to try it, not that she liked it very much, so she nodded obediently. Her body was like that of a baby now, and she felt sleepy easily. After a while, she closed her eyes and dozed off.
Seeing this, Lan Zhi carried her home. When she got home, she found that Kunjun Weihe had already returned and was changing An An's diaper.
"Azhi, you are finally back. An An is hungry." Jun Weihe said.
"I'll go feed her." Lan Zhi put her sleeping daughter on the crib, then carried her son into the inner room. An An had a good appetite and was easy to coax. Lan Zhi coaxed him to sleep before carrying him out and putting him on the crib next to Qing'er.
Jun Weihe pointed outside the door.
Lan Zhi could see that he had something to say, so the couple walked out of the room and closed the door gently. Jun Weihe told her what happened in the palace. Lan Zhi was stunned. She knew that Qing'er carried the memories of her previous life, but her son An'an died at birth in his previous life. Even if An'an also carried the memories of his previous life, what could a newborn baby understand?
Lan Zhi was silent for a moment, then said, "...Maybe our child is born smart?"
Jun Weihe added: "An An can not only understand what adults say, but also seems to be able to tell whether you are true or false."
"Ah... this..." Lan Zhi felt a little mysterious. How could a baby, who had never learned spiritual power or magic, recognize its parents? Perhaps it was because the palace maid hadn't disguised herself well enough.
"Weihe, what are you talking about?" At this moment, a questioning voice was heard in the air.
"Mother..."
"I've told you so many times, don't call me mother, call me mom. Why don't you change your ways?" Ye Jingtan complained as usual. She turned to look at Lan Zhi with a smile on her face.
Jun Weihe introduced: "Azhi, this is my mother, Ye Jingtan..."
Lan Zhi opened her mouth, not knowing what to say. She had met Ye Jingtan before and suspected him of being a bad person. She had never expected Ye Jingtan to be Jun Weihe's mother...
"Are you surprised? My beautiful daughter-in-law." Ye Jingtan said with a smile. She walked forward, took Lan Zhi's hand, and said, "I guess you haven't learned the two magical powers I gave you last time, but it doesn't matter. This time I prepared a new gift for you... I thought Weihe was pursuing you, so the gift I prepared was relatively small. It's okay for a fiancée, but it doesn't seem grand enough for a daughter-in-law. I will definitely make it up to you next time we meet..."
Lan Zhi was originally worried that her mother-in-law didn't like her, but she didn't expect her mother-in-law to be so enthusiastic. "No need to make up for it, you're too polite..."
Ye Jingtan said, "What do you mean by 'yours' or 'yours'? We demons don't like to hear such honorifics. Just treat me as your peer and speak to me normally... but you have to call me 'mother'. Come on, call me that and let me hear it."
"……mother."
Lan Zhi had never seen her mother in her memory. Only after she had a child did she understand the hardships of pregnancy and the difficulty of raising a child. Therefore, after calling out this name, Lan Zhi was a little dazed and didn't know what her mother looked like.
Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly felt a furry touch in her hand. She looked down and saw that Ye Jingtan had put a big black spider in her hand!
