Li Qiji stood at the palace gate and looked up into the palace walls.
He took a deep breath and said, "Let's go! If we don't go now, the Empress will send someone to find me again."
Hua Quan smiled and said, "Her Majesty the Empress also wants to cultivate a relationship with Your Majesty!"
Without turning his head, Li Qiji said, "You, you still know how to talk!"
The group went inside.
Guan Zhiyue saw that everyone outside was kneeling and bowing, so she stood up from the pool and raised an eyebrow at Li Qiji.
"Oh, Your Majesty, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for ages!"
Li Qiji hurriedly walked towards Guan Zhiyue, deftly took off his shoes, and jumped into the pool.
Then he said, "Yue'er, I came here quickly after finishing my official duties."
"Don't be angry, okay? Are you tired?" Li Qiji said, raising his hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
Guan Zhiyue shook her head and said, "It's alright. It's been a long time since I've had any activities. I've been playing with these kids for a while now, and I'm a little tired."
Li Lexin and the other kids quickly ran over, laughing as they picked up the bubble balls from the pool and threw them at the two of them.
Laughter and chatter filled the air again. Bilian and Jishang, who were standing to the side, exchanged a glance. Jishang asked, "Lian'er, how are you today? Are you tired?"
Ji Wu, standing to the side, imitated Ji Shang and asked his newlywed wife, Cui Juan, who was in Guan Zhiyue's palace.
"Juan'er, are you tired today? I'll give you a shoulder and leg massage when we get home tonight!"
His sycophantic manner made the lonely Hua Quan, who was standing to the side, twitch with embarrassment.
How could there be such a sycophantic Ji Wu? He had spent the most time with him, but now, looking at Ji Wu's obsequious behavior, Hua Quan wanted to say that he didn't recognize him at all.
Ji Shang also found it disgusting!
I never knew Ji Wu had such a disgusting side!
Cuijuan blushed slightly after being yelled at by Jiwu, feeling as if everyone on the shore was staring at her.
Several maids raised their eyebrows at her, their eyes revealing a mixture of envy and other ambiguous emotions.
Bilian looked at Cuijuan and gently smiled. Jishang also took the opportunity to move closer to Bilian and said, "Lian'er, I will serve you when we get back tonight."
"The care I received was even more comfortable than what Ji Wu provided."
Bilian wanted to explode on the spot, or even disappear on the spot! Oh dear!
That's utterly shameful, a bunch of thugs.
However, the family playing in the pool, including Li Qiji and Guan Zhiyue, were buried in the bubble balls.
I was overjoyed!
However, I also think that having a wife who is so fertile is a sweet burden!
These three kids are already so mischievous; imagine how much more troublesome they are when the other two grow up!
But with five children all at once, life might become even more chaotic.
"Father, hurry up!"
"That's right, Father, are you not impotent?"
"Father, no!"
"We haven't had enough fun yet!"
The three little guys urged him on, one after another. Li Qiji stood up from the bubble ball and looked down at the group of kids. They were really full of energy!
He's thirty years old, in the prime of his youth!
His eldest son actually said he was no good; wasn't that a strong expression of contempt for him?
This time, the aunt could tolerate it, but the uncle couldn't. This was going too far. So he took a deep breath.
He completely abandoned his imperial airs and played wildly with the children until he was finally exhausted and lay down in the pool.
Looking up at the ceiling, all I could think was, "I never want to play like this again. It's so damn tiring!"
This is even more tiring than having him handle official documents and petitions!
It's just too cruel, too ruthless, and too cumbersome!
Guan Zhiyue was already standing on the shore, looking at Li Qiji in the pool.
He chuckled softly, "So? Is Your Majesty happy with this mission?"
Li Qiji: Can I remain silent? Do I still have a chance to refuse?
"Yue'er, what did I do wrong that you sent these little devils to punish me?" Li Qiji asked with a bitter expression.
Guan Zhiyue raised an eyebrow and said, "No punishment! This is just basic procedure for a qualified father!"
Li Qiji: I don't believe you for a second! You old woman are wicked!
-----
The cold palace at night.
Guan Zhiyue was as smug as she was during the day, and as she was being tormented by Li Qiji at the moment.
They had all sorts of tricks up their sleeves, and whenever Guan Zhiyue begged for mercy in a soft voice, Li Qiji would reply with a single sentence.
"Yue'er, this is a basic requirement for being a good wife!"
Guan Zhiyue: "Li Qiji, you're dead."
"Shh, Yue'er, don't speak at such a beautiful moment, it'll ruin the atmosphere..."
Guan Zhiyue was speechless and questioned the heavens!
As expected! Who can escape the wrath of Heaven?
People shouldn't be too proud, or they'll suffer retribution, especially in this life!
This is a profound lesson for Rosamund Kwan!

As the days passed and the weather gradually warmed up, Li Qishang brought Xiao Tuantuan to the palace to ask for leave.
The reason was simple: the prince wanted to take leave to go on a honeymoon with his beloved wife.
I should have gone much earlier, but because we just got married, there were still many things to take care of.
So the honeymoon trip was postponed, since there aren't any major events happening in the court right now.
Since all countries are on friendly terms, there's naturally no need for so many people, so the idea is to send them on a journey.
Li Qiji initially disagreed, because with Li Qishang around, his life would be easier.
Some government documents can be given to him for review, and he will only need to handle urgent matters or matters that he cannot decide.
What a pity! What a pity!
Now this little brat is saying he's going on a trip, and he's so angry!
When he told Guan Zhiyue about it, he was surprised to find that she actually supported him, so he had no choice but to let them leave.
Guan Zhiyue's current task is to take care of the children, alternating between the youngest and the oldest.
She spends every day surrounded by children, and she feels like she's becoming a child herself. She's so happy and comfortable now.
The only thing that bothered her was that those two swaddled babies ate too much.
He's such a little foodie! What Guan Zhiyue envies most is how much that kid eats every day.
But she's the kind of person who never gets fat, which made Guan Zhiyue so envious that she ate two big bowls of rice with tears in her eyes. Isn't this just to annoy her?
Children's world is all about eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating, with nothing to worry about and no worries at all, which Guan Zhiyue genuinely envies!
