When Xie Yunzhao was fifty years old, Shen Shurong was forty-eight years old, Xie Zhiyi had been on the throne for eleven years, and Gu Chutang had given birth to four children for him.
Twenty-nine-year-old Shen Zhixi gave birth to three children for Kerry, and twenty-five-year-old Xie Jinyu also had two children. She officially took over the treasury at the age of seventeen.
The only exception is Xie Zhihan, who is only 21 years old. He has the throne but he doesn't live there anymore and he doesn't even marry a wife.
He followed his parents. When they went out to play, he went with them. When they returned to Beijing, he went back.
Chen Shurong picked out many noble ladies for him, but he didn't like any of them. When asked to choose one himself, he was too lazy to do anything.
The old couple were very puzzled. The eldest son was doing well as emperor, the eldest daughter became the overlord of the sea, and the second daughter could easily manage the treasury.
The two daughters have done a lot for the financial resources of the Great Zhou. The treasury is full, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and no one dares to harass the border for many years.
The youngest son never thought about these things. What’s more, he was very proud. He argued that he had no job and would not get married, so he could always stay with his parents and be filial to them on behalf of his older brothers and sisters.
Xie Zhiyi used to often urge his younger brother to do this, and after hearing this, he found it very reasonable.
He didn't care, and neither did Chen Shurong and Xie Yunzhao. After all, they were not the ones who were unhappy.
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the old couple called back the pirate leader and his wife in advance, and the family planned to have a good reunion.
Xie Zhiyi sighed that his parents finally had children like them in their eyes.
When the people came back, Xie Yunzhao and Shen Shurong started to have a headache. They originally had six children, and now there were three more.
They are old and can't stand such noise.
At this time, Xie Yunzhao would send out his most useless son, Xie Zhihan.
Xie Zhihan is very popular among children. Although he is not good at either literature or martial arts, he has a lot of experience and can tell children a different story every day.
Before the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, eight little kids sat steadily, listening to the stories told by the little uncle sitting opposite them. The youngest one was still in Gu Chutang's arms.
When the three older brothers and sisters saw this, they all smiled with satisfaction. This younger brother is not only filial to the elders, but also takes care of the younger ones.
Xie Yunzhao and Shen Shurong looked at the room full of children and grandchildren with smiles on their faces.
Xie Jinyu mocked her brother and sister: "I heard that on the day of your enlightenment, my great-grandfather fainted. You two have accomplished what my father couldn't do."
Gu Chutang looked at Xie Zhiyi with interest when he heard this: "Was Your Majesty so naughty when he was a child?"
"No." Xie Zhiyi quickly denied it and glared at Xie Jinyu: "Don't talk nonsense. Do I still have the dignity as your brother?"
Shen Zhixi asked with a smile: "What do you mean, blame me alone?"
"You take most of the blame, okay? You almost frightened my great-grandfather to death during class."
"I am doing this for my great-grandfather's own good. It must be so hard for him to teach at such an old age."
"I remember that time you were all punished to kneel down." Xie Yunzhao deliberately brought up his children's embarrassing moments.
Gu Chutang stared at Xie Zhiyi with interest again.
"Dad, don't talk nonsense." Xie Zhiyi always presents a perfect image of himself as an adult in front of his young wife. Why would he keep mentioning what he did as a child?
"That's right. How old are we now? Our children are older than we were back then." Shen Zhixi also felt ashamed.
Chen Shurong also joined in the fun and spoke for her man: "Now you know how embarrassing it is, who was the one who always pestered me in the beginning?"
Xie Zhiyi's face fell even more: "Mom~"
"Mom, please tell me more. Your daughter-in-law wants to listen." Gu Chutang blinked her big eyes and became even more curious.
"Mom, don't say anything." Please, Xie Zhiyi is about to kneel down.
Chen Shurong ignored him and looked at his daughter-in-law and said, "Ayi is the one who pesters me the most. He not only competes with Xixi, but also with your father. His peach wood sword has chopped your father more than the wooden stakes."
“Hahahaha. Hahaha.”
Bursts of laughter rang out from the room. Gu Chutang didn't expect that her husband was so clingy when he was a child.
Xie Zhiyi wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, but his mother really didn't give him any face. Seeing his wife laughing happily, she glared at her threateningly. Her eyes seemed to say: If you laugh again, it's no use begging for mercy tonight.
Gu Chutang quickly shut up, her cheeks slightly reddened when she thought of how he was pestering her.
Xie Yunzhao laughed the happiest, "You little bastard, your mother has avenged me."
Shen Shurong looked at her man, who was fifty years old but still so handsome.
Xie Zhiyi's most embarrassing past was exposed, and he threw in the towel: "Xie Jinyu, you are not much better. You don't like studying, you don't like martial arts, you just like money."
"I like silver more than my sister likes gold, so I just married my brother-in-law with golden hair."
"Xie Jinyu, have you become too independent?" Shen Zhixi's roar came.
Xie Jinyu's husband quickly stopped his wife from being bullied by his aunt, because he knew that his aunt was very good at martial arts.
Xie Jinyu held her husband's arm and stuck out her tongue at Shen Zhixi.
Shen Zhixi really wanted to beat her, but was stopped by Kerry, who was afraid that his wife would really beat her aunt's sister.
"You are too noisy, Rongrong, let's go." Xie Yunzhao helped Shen Shurong up and walked out, away from these annoying children.
"See, Dad is always afraid that others will steal Mom's attention, even us, his own children." Xie Zhiyi curled his lips.
The two sisters agreed: "Dad has always been like this. If we were to say who is the most attached to Mom, it would be Dad."
The old couple went to the swing and swung on it, while the palace people stayed far away from them.
The man put his arm around her shoulders, and she leaned into his arms, closing her eyes and feeling the breeze on her face.
The past events unfolded scene by scene, showing their mutual love for each other in childhood, she liked to look at him, and he racked his brains to make her like to look at him.
When she jumped into the lake, she didn't feel nervous at all because she knew he would protect her.
She was deeply impressed by everything that happened after they got together.
