Chang Le looked at her mother and father, the Emperor, and saw how loving they were!
Unable to suppress her laughter, she raised her hand to cover her mouth and moved closer to Guan Zhiyue.
She said with a smile, "Mother, look how wise Father is!"
Guan Zhiyue rolled her eyes at Li Lexin before saying, "Am I not wise, your mother?"
"No, Mother, your wisdom is even greater than Father's."
Guan Zhiyue snorted, then looked at Li Lexin and said, "Chang Le, you're not young anymore. Before you know it, you've reached the age to get married. Do you have a man you like?"
"You can tell your mother, and she will make the decision for you. You are kind-hearted, so you must find a gentle person."
When Guan Zhiyue said this, she had already mentally reviewed all the young noblemen in the capital.
She frowned slightly, displeased, because she realized that no man was good enough for her precious daughter.
Li Lexin was her and his first child in name only. Although they weren't biologically related, he had never been unfaithful to her.
It was also her existence that made Guan Zhiyue realize that being a mother requires paying a lot of price.
For Guan Zhiyue, Li Lexin was a treasure bestowed upon them by heaven, someone who transcended kinship.
Now that her children are grown up and it's time to talk about marriage, she feels that she is really getting old.
It's the kind of aging that's visible to the naked eye, not just in terms of physical age, but also in terms of changes in the body!
"Mother, I want to stay by your and Father's side forever. I haven't had a chance to properly fulfill my filial duties yet!"
Chang Le reached out and took Guan Zhiyue's arm, resting her head on her shoulder, and whispered her thoughts.
Guan Zhiyue reached out and patted the back of her hand before saying, "Silly girl, how can someone not get married? If you don't have someone you like..."
Then when Mother returns home, she will introduce you to some, and you can choose some more.
Our Chang Le should be matched with the best man in the world, only then can the Empress Dowager rest assured!
Li Lexin blushed, lowered her head, and shyly murmured an "Mmm," indicating that she understood and would follow her mother's wishes.

"Mother, come quickly! There are so many fish here!"
Li Jingheng excitedly shook his arm and shouted loudly towards Guan Zhiyue.
Guan Zhiyue looked in the direction of the sound and saw several little rascals who had already rolled up their trousers and followed the guards to the river to catch fish.
Why did they all go down to the river on such a cold day?
Guan Zhiyue saw the culprit, who was still on the shore holding Yuanyuan, pointing at the people in the river, and whispering something!
"It's so cold, are you crazy?! All of you, get up here!"
Guan Zhiyue walked angrily towards the river.
Li Qiji reached out and pulled Guan Zhiyue, saying, "Yue'er, the weather is alright today; the sun is still out."
Although it's winter, it's not snowing yet, the weather is quite nice.
"Did you let them go down? It's winter, and although it hasn't snowed, the river water is cold!"
"Besides, are the fish in that river so easy to catch?" Guan Zhiyue was truly speechless. If they wanted to catch fish, why didn't they call her?
Why doesn't she just use the spiritual spring water in her space to lure him in?
Before Guan Zhiyue could say anything!
Li Jingrui shouted loudly, while also picking up a large black fish in his arms.
"Mother, look, it's a blackfish!"
Guan Zhiyue suddenly found herself at a loss for words, wondering what was going on. Was it a coincidence? Or was someone doing it?
"Alright, everyone get out of the water quickly, don't stay in the water for too long."
Then he instructed the maid beside him, "Shizhu, go and ask Chef Liu to cook a pot of brown sugar ginger soup."
The maid, named Shizhu, curtsied slightly and left.
"Mother, don't worry, my brothers know what they're doing. Let's go sit over there."
Chang Le stepped forward, helped Guan Zhiyue up, and led her away from the riverbank.
The sun was shining brightly today. After traveling all morning, they finally stopped at a place nestled against the mountains and beside the water.
Enjoying the moment is one of the joys of a family trip.
Guan Zhiyue cherishes this opportunity because she doesn't know if she'll have another chance like this in the future!
Guan Chengheng and the Li Qishang couple, who were originally supposed to return to Beijing with them, are now rushing back as fast as they can.
It seems that their whole family gathered together, undisturbed by outsiders, just the two of them, all together in perfect harmony.
This was the first time their entire family had gathered together like this.
"Mother, look how beautiful the scenery is here. It's something Chang Le has never experienced before. But Chang Le is also very happy to meet Mother and Father."
Chang Le and Guan Zhiyue snuggled together on a large recliner, and Guan Zhiyue reached out and hugged Li Lexin.
I squinted at the dazzling sunlight, which was so gentle and not glaring!
“Yes, even your mother and I have never experienced such a life, especially the time when the whole family is together,” Guan Zhiyue sighed.
Li Jingyu walked over from a short distance away, carrying a plate of washed fruit, and happened to overhear Guan Zhiyue's words.
He then added, "Mother, Imperial Sister, then we should get together like this more often in the future!"
Guan Zhiyue looked down at Li Jingyu, who was looking down at the two of them, and said, "Jingyu, this kind of leisurely time doesn't just come easily!"
Li Jingyu put his things down and casually sat down to Guan Zhiyue's left.
He reached out and peeled the grapes for her before saying, "But leisurely moments are always squeezed out!"
"As long as Mother wishes, we, as her children, will certainly fulfill these promises."
Speaking of promises, Guan Zhiyue suddenly remembered what Xiao Tuantuan had told her. She sat up from the recliner and turned her head to look at her eldest son.
Finally, out of curiosity, he asked, "Jingyu, I heard that you and the girl have secretly pledged your lives to each other?"
Upon hearing this, Li Lexin, who was standing to the side, widened her eyes, blinked a few times, and her mouth was big enough to fit an egg.
She exclaimed in shock, "Jingyu, what's going on? How come I didn't know anything about this?"
"Which family's young lady is she? Do I know the Empress Dowager?"
"You really hid this well!"
Li Jingyu choked and coughed violently, his face turning red and his neck bulging.
This is actually a good thing, as it conveniently covers up the fact that he blushed earlier.
Li Lexin couldn't help but laugh when she saw her younger brother coughing up his lungs!
He maintained that amused expression for a moment, and even pulled Guan Zhiyue along to join in the gossip.
She couldn't wait to find out which family's daughter had caught her younger brother's eye.
