Ye Xingchen's mouth twitched: "Your Majesty, you are so rude. I just gave birth to two children, and you want to settle them down?"

The emperor smiled awkwardly, feeling that he had gone too far: "I like both children too much. As long as they are born by you, I like them all."

This sounds a bit ambiguous.

The regent on the side had a dark complexion: "I also contributed half of the effort."

The emperor then realized that he had said the wrong thing and immediately explained: "Uncle, please don't misunderstand me, I sincerely hope to become your in-law.

If my uncle had not willingly given up my throne, I would not have sat on it, so I hope to do my best to give the two children the best."

Cang Boyi's expression softened a bit: "You still have a conscience and remember my kindness."

"Of course. So, does your uncle agree to my proposal?" the emperor asked.

Cang Boyi did not answer directly, but looked at Ye Xingchen: "The Regent Palace, the princess is the decision maker, you can ask the princess."

The implication was that if Ye Xingchen agreed, he would agree.

Ye Xingchen looked at the emperor: "The Prince Regent is your uncle, and these two children are equivalent to your cousins. Your children are also related to them by blood, so they cannot be married.

Because close relatives marry, the children they give birth to are more likely to be deformed or poorly developed. Haven't you seen that there are many fools or mentally retarded people in the royal family?"

The emperor was extremely shocked and thought about it seriously. It seemed that there were indeed several princes and princesses like this around him.

Their mothers or mothers are more or less related to the royal family. Is this really the reason?

"Isn't it said that close relatives can only be closer than close ones?" the emperor asked.

"Marriage between close relatives is the most feudal and superstitious saying. It is precisely because of close relatives that the children born have problems. I don't want my son and daughter to give birth to a fool. Your Majesty doesn't want that either." Ye Xingchen asked back.

Sure enough, the emperor's expression tightened a little.

He just wanted to marry Ye Xingchen's child to make up for his regrets. He never thought that his child and Ye Xingchen's child would give birth to a fool.

If that were the case, the emperor would not be able to accept it.

"What's more, the children have just been born. They still have a long life ahead of them and will meet many people. I don't ask them to be rich and powerful, I just hope they can live a peaceful, healthy and happy life." Ye Xingchen expressed his wish.

There was a hint of hurt in the emperor's eyes: "But you said before that your child can be engaged to my child?"

Ye Xingchen explained: "I don't want Your Majesty to die alone. You are the emperor of Cang Yue Kingdom, and you are responsible for the expansion of Cang Yue Kingdom.

If I hadn't said that, how could you have agreed to be chosen as a concubine? Although I did lie to you, it was also for your own good. Now you are not just one person, but the hope of the people of a country.

So you have to shoulder the responsibility on your shoulders. I believe you will be a good emperor. With you around, I can be myself without any scruples.

My children can also grow up safely without any worries, that's enough, so I hope you are well too."

The emperor felt mixed emotions, as if he had been deceived by Ye Xingchen. But after listening to her heartfelt words and seeing the genuine concern on her face, the emperor could not say he was sad or upset, but just felt very uncomfortable.

"I also hope that you can have many children and grandchildren and enjoy the company of your parents." Cang Boyi said quietly.

What else could the emperor say? He could only smile and say, "Thank you, uncle."

Four years later.

Cangyu, Xiao He, and Cang Xile are all four years old now. During these four years, the life of the Regent Princess has been extremely lively.

Look, Cang Xile came back carrying a little wild boar, covered in dust and blood.

Ye Xingchen frowned: "Why are you going hunting again?"

"I like it. I want to be a powerful female general on the battlefield in the future, so I need to hone my archery skills first." Cang said happily.

Ye Xingchen sighed. He didn’t know who this little girl took after. She had loved riding horses, archery, hunting, etc. since she was a child. She was a real tomboy.

"You are such a simple-minded person with strong limbs, but you were shot to pieces as soon as you got to the battlefield." Cang Yuxiao complained mercilessly.

Although he is only four years old, brother Cang Yuxiao is much more stable than his sister. His cold little face looks exactly like Cang Boyi. He likes reading and writing the most and always says that his sister is a reckless man.

"You keep reading books every day, and you will become a nerd sooner or later." Cang Xile complained.

Cang Boyi looked at his two daughters who disliked each other with a smile on his face. These two little ones have loved bickering since they were young, and he has gotten used to it.

A eunuch came in from outside and said, "Greetings to the Prince Regent and Princess. I am here on the orders of His Majesty to take the two young masters into the palace."

Although the emperor promised not to marry the regent, he loved the two children very much and would send people to bring them to the palace every now and then.

Now, for Cangyu, Xiaohe, and Cang Xile, the palace is their second home. No one dares to stop them when they walk around the palace.

The two little ones were naturally happy and immediately followed the eunuch into the palace.

The emperor now had three sons and four daughters. When they saw Cangyu, Xiao He and Cang Xile coming, they all happily rushed to play with them.

"Brother Yuxiao, can you be my consort?" three-year-old You'er asked shyly.

Her mother told her that she must have a good relationship with Brother Yuxiao. Only if he became her consort, she would be the most powerful princess.

Cang Yuxiao rolled his eyes at You'er and said, "I don't want to be a royal consort. When I grow up, I want to go see the powerful people in the four countries and challenge them."

Although You'er didn't quite understand, he thought it was amazing: "Brother Yuxiao is amazing, can I join you?"

"No, you are too weak and I have to protect you, thank you." Cang Yuxiao refused mercilessly.

Although You'er was sad, he still admired Cang Yuxiao very much and followed him happily.

The three princes on the side, some holding cakes, some holding snacks, and some holding a bow and arrow bigger than themselves, surrounded Cang Xile.

"Sister Xile, this is for you, this is for you."

Cang Xile was very satisfied with the care of his three younger brothers. He gladly accepted their kindness and enjoyed the delicious food they brought him.

This was the scene that the emperor saw when he came over. He couldn't help but sigh, wondering why he had given birth to a bunch of bootlickers. Seeing how these princes and princesses worshipped Cang Yuxiao and Cang Xile, the emperor couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Among all his children, none is as capable as Xingchen's child. Xiao Yuxiao is good at literature, Xile is good at martial arts, a country can be governed by literature, but a country can be kept safe by incompetence. What a blessing this is.

No, he must keep these two children.

"Yuxiao, Xile, what interesting things have you done recently? Share it with me quickly."

Cang Yuxiao's eyes sparkled: "I have read a lot of miscellaneous books about the four countries recently. I want to go to Dayan and Beili to take a look."

"Good, you have ambition," the emperor praised.

Cang Xile chuckled and said, "I recently killed a leopard, two wild boars, and three pheasants. Am I awesome?"
