Chapter 961 Top-Tier Treatment (Twins)
After Shangguan Yan ascended the throne, he changed the name of the emperor's sleeping quarters to Fenglin Palace.
April is the mildest time of year in Shengdu, neither too hot nor too cold, neither too dry nor too humid.
Shangguan Yan sat in the study of Fenglin Palace reviewing memorials. On her desk were two picture frames that Gu Jiao had sent from Zhao Kingdom by the Shadow Department, containing portraits of twins.
Whenever she was exhausted by the affairs of the court, just looking at the portraits of the twins would make all her fatigue disappear.
She glanced at the twins, a look of doting affection and longing flashing in her eyes.
I've been born for so long, and I still haven't seen the two little ones.
I heard that Jiaojiao and Aheng are coming to Yan, but the twins are still too young to handle the long journey, so they will probably stay in Zhao.
It's a real shame that we can't see what they looked like as children.
Shangguan Yan sighed.
Suddenly, Wu Sixi strode in, bowing respectfully: "Your Majesty."
Shangguan Yan could tell from his expression that someone else had arrived. She asked helplessly, "Who is it this time?"
The beauties in the harem are truly restless, creating all sorts of chance encounters every night, or offering themselves up in various creative ways.
When she was still the Crown Princess, she thought that only women's methods of vying for favor were troublesome. But after becoming the emperor, she realized that when men became charming, women basically had nothing to do.
There are a few little devils who are quite alluring.
Wu Sixi smiled and said, "It is the Imperial Preceptor."
Shangguan Yan paused in her writing: "Ye Qing?"
Fifteen minutes later, Ye Qing arrived at Shangguan Yan's study with one child in each hand.
Those in the know said he had something to report, while those who didn't thought he was forcing his way in with his child, demanding that Shangguan Yan take responsibility for him and the child.
Everyone in Fenglin Palace was completely dumbfounded.
No wonder Her Majesty the Empress is unmoved by all the handsome men in her harem; it turns out that the seductive and shameless Imperial Advisor Ye beat her to it!
"Ye Qing, what are you doing?"
Shangguan Yan said she was also confused.
In the middle of the night, a man came to her door with a child, and he had a rather indescribable expression on his face. It was terrifying no matter how you looked at it!
"I wouldn't really do anything to you, would I?"
Did you give birth to the child?
You've been away on Dark Night Island for so long without coming back. Did you hide away, pregnant for ten months, and give birth alone?
Shangguan Yan was utterly shocked by the absurd speculation that flashed through her mind!
She shook her head vigorously, waiting for Ye Qing to give her a reasonable explanation.
Ye Qing gently placed the child on the table, then took out the small medicine box from the basket and placed it on the table as well.
Then Shangguan Yan was dumbfounded once again.
First of all, she had portraits of the twins, and she looked at them day and night, imprinting their images in her mind.
Admittedly, there are differences between portraits and real people, but the differences between people are not so great.
The two little ones, one a spitting image of Xiao Jiaojiao, the other a spitting image of Xiao Aheng, they're definitely related by blood, right?
Looking at the first-aid kit again, it clearly belongs to Gu Jiao. Surely she can't be mistaken?
"Jiaojiao and Aheng are here?" Shangguan Yan asked excitedly.
Ye Qing was terrified, wishing half of his soul had returned to his body. He said expressionlessly, "No, only the two of them came."
Shangguan Yan: "..."
The Princess's Residence in Zhao Kingdom.
Gu Jiao's murderous aura filled the entire mansion, and even Xiao Heng didn't dare to provoke her.
Her little fists clenched so tightly they made a cracking sound.
"I think you want to be chopped up and used as firewood!"
It's obvious where the first-aid kit took the person: the operating room in the Imperial Advisor's Hall. I bet a pack of spicy strips!
She wasn't worried that no one would find out; the operating room was guarded by assassins, and if the child cried inside, Ye Qing would be summoned.
"The little first-aid kit is getting more and more mischievous, and its abilities are also growing."
It used to be able to teleport itself, but now it can even take twins with it.
Does this mean that its energy is gradually recovering?
The reason for this question is that Gu Jiao had suspected from a very early age that tearing through spacetime was not an easy task for the small medicine box, and might have exhausted all of its energy.
This is probably why when she first arrived, she saw a tattered little medicine box.
Gu Jiao rested her chin on her hands and muttered, "So, what exactly is the origin of this little medicine box? How many surprises await us after it's fully restored?"
Hmm, it could also be a shock.
...
Because the twins had set off earlier than planned, the departure originally scheduled for three days later was changed to an early morning departure.
"Mother, don't worry about me too much, I'll be back soon..."
Before Xiao Heng could finish his reluctant farewell, Princess Xinyang tossed his bundle onto the carriage: "Remember to bring Yan'er and Cong'er back with you when you return to Zhao Kingdom."
Xiao Heng: "..."
Am I still your most beloved son?
So love will disappear, right?
Meanwhile, Chang Kun and Chang Jing also planned to set off.
Chang Kun fought with Marquis Xuanping.
The reason was that Marquis Xuanping asked Chang Kun to take the betrothal gifts back, because he had no daughter to marry Chang Jing.
Chang Kun said that Dark Night Island doesn't mind waiting for Xiao Yiyi to grow up.
Then he was beaten by Marquis Xuanping.
Chang Kun limped out, a large bump on his head, his face bruised and swollen, and said to Chang Jing, "Your old man... for the sake of your life's happiness... didn't fight back at all..."
Chang Jing said, feeling utterly wronged, "I never said I wanted to marry you! Didn't I lie to you back then? I just wanted to leave the island—"
The next second, Chang Jing was also beaten up.
—After all these years, I finally got a beating from my father.
The father and son sat facing each other in the carriage, each holding a piece of ice wrapped in a handkerchief and sticking it to their faces, which were swollen like pig heads.
One-year-and-four-month-old Yiyi was held in Princess Xinyang's arms and waved goodbye to the group: "Uncle Qiang (Chang), see you; Brother Qiang (Chang) Jing, see you."
I wanted to say goodbye, but I'm still too young to express some of the sounds.
The two men waved goodbye to her.
Xiao Yiyi really liked Chang Jing, but Chang Jing was so ugly after being beaten up that he made Xiao Yiyi cry.
Before long, Duke Anguo's carriage arrived. Little Jingkong jumped down from the carriage and clattered onto Gu Jiao's carriage: "Jiaojiao! I've brought Daddy over!"
His form of address changed depending on how Gu Jiao addressed him.
After Gu Jiao called Duke Anguo "father," Xiao Jingkong also started calling him "father."
Looking at the handsome young face that now exuded a more dashing air, Gu Jiao smiled and said, "Jingkong is amazing."
Xiao Heng: Hehe.
You're almost eight years old! Acting cute is shameful!
Xiao Heng asked indifferently, "Are you going to Yan Kingdom too?"
Xiao Jingkong, hands on his hips, exclaimed, "Of course I'll go! Wherever Jiaojiao goes, I'll go!"
Xiao Heng said calmly, "Don't you need to study?"
Xiao Jingkong said, "You're here!"
Xiao Heng's lips twitched: "You don't need to practice martial arts?"
Xiao Jingkong spread his hands and smiled, "Long Yi is there!"
Xiao Heng was speechless.
—The whole family are big shots; they have too many resources.
Xiao Jingkong, hands on his hips, said smugly, "Hmph! Don't even think about monopolizing Jiaojiao!"
Xiao Heng did not argue with him, but calmly said, "Little Eleven."
The horse came galloping over like lightning, making a sharp turn at the entrance of the Marquis's mansion, its hooves even splitting!
Xiao Jingkong's attention was successfully drawn: "Huh? Little Eleven is here! Jiaojiao, can I ride Little Eleven?"
"Okay," Gu Jiao replied.
Completely unaware that he had been tricked by his wicked brother-in-law, the man proudly rode off on his little eleven!
Black Wind King led the entire caravan, his gaze icy and his aura powerful. Even though he wasn't going to war, but simply strolling leisurely down the bustling streets, he still exuded a chilling aura of war and valor.
It's seventeen, but thankfully it hasn't grown old; it can still create many more legends.
Gu Jiao forbade riding horses in the street, and Xiao Jingkong and Ma Wang were both restless. Finally, after leaving the capital, the two of them took off and galloped on the open and flat official road.
"Little Eleven! Faster! Faster!"
"Whoa! I'm flying!"
"Hahaha!"
"You bad brother-in-law can't catch up!"
The entire official road was filled with his unrestrained, mischievous voice.
Horse King: I must remind you, you can't catch up with Jiaojiao either~
Xiao Jingkong's smugness didn't last long before a heavy rainstorm hit, soaking the man and his horse to the bone.
This year, there has been an unusually heavy rainfall along the way. It rained in Zhao Kingdom, then in Yan Kingdom, then at the border, and then in Zhongzhou. Even Steward Zheng's old leg pain flared up!
While the group was traveling in great distress, the twins were comfortably lying in the most magnificent Phoenix Palace in Yan Kingdom, sleeping on soft and warm mattresses, covered with light and silky blankets, enjoying the super luxurious treatment of ten wet nurses.
However, they were used to formula and refused to drink breast milk, so the wet nurse was only responsible for putting them to sleep.
Shangguan Yan and Ye Qing were worried about the food for their child when Ye Qing accidentally knocked the medicine box off the table.
The small medicine box fell to the ground with a thud, spitting out a can of milk powder.
Then it smacked its lips and spat out two bottles.
Ye Qing, dumbfounded: "..."
I ate a bowl of white rice, a plate of stir-fried vegetables and meat, and 20 Arctic shrimp at 6 pm, and I was hungry again in less than two hours.
o(╥﹏╥)o
I want to eat braised pork knuckle, steaming hot, soft and tender, so tender that it falls off the bone and melts in your mouth.
