"Xile is very capable, a real hunting expert!" the emperor praised.

"Of course. When you become emperor brother, I will hunt fresh game for you every day." Cang said happily.

The emperor felt warm in his heart and was deeply moved: "Xi Le is so thoughtful. I am very pleased."

"Father, when you are old, we will make delicious food for you." You'er and the other princes all spoke up.

"Good, good." The emperor smiled from ear to ear, very satisfied.

And the Ye family.

On this day, Ye Laosi came back with Lan Yue. Last time, the two of them left the Regent's Palace, wandered around four countries, and finally returned to the mountain village. Now this time, they came back not as two people, but as four people.

That’s right, Ye Laosi and Lan Yue have two children, a three-year-old daughter and a one-year-old boy.

When the two elders of the Ye family saw them, they were overjoyed and immediately let them in: "It's good that you're back. Fourth brother, you're really something. You've been gone for several years and didn't even send a letter home. You made your father and I worry."

Although Ye's mother criticized her, she was delighted in her heart because she could now hug her grandson and granddaughter.

Ye Lao Si curled his lips and said, "Mom, you can't blame me. It was Xingchen who wanted to deal with Lan Yue. I just couldn't bear to see her being wronged, so I took her away."

"You idiot, Xingchen did that to bring you and Lanyue together. Since you both have children, come back and live here." Ye's father also spoke.

Ye Lao Si finally came to his senses: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I have been wandering with Lan Yue for several years and suffered a lot. If I had known she was just trying to scare me, I would never leave even if you beat me to death."

"Okay, you're already fathers, why bother about so many things?" Ye's mother retorted.

"Linglong, Qiaoyun, go and meet your grandparents." Lan Yue said.

In fact, Lan Yue was also nervous, wondering whether the second son of the Ye family would accept her this time.

The last time she left the capital of Cangyue Kingdom, Lan Yue reflected for a long time. As a mother in the past few years, she has become gentle and considerate, which is very different from before.

Three-year-old Linglong walked over holding her one-year-old brother’s hand: “Linglong greets grandpa and grandma.”

Qiao Yun was only one year old and his walking was still a little unsteady. Seeing him about to fall, Mother Ye immediately came over and picked up Qiao Yun: "Grandma's little darling, you have to be careful, don't fall."

"Yes, the two children are white and plump, and they are well raised. Thank you for your hard work, Lan Yue." Father Ye also hugged Linglong.

Lan Yue felt warm in her heart: "This is as it should be. They can eat and sleep well, which is very worry-free."

"It's exactly the same as the fourth child when he was a child. Not bad. Linglong, tell grandma, what do you like best?" Ye's mother asked happily.

"I like weapons. Mother never lets me play with them. But I want to be a female village leader with a knife to protect the safety of the village." Linglong said in a baby voice.

Ye's mother was amused by the little girl: "It's great that Linglong is so responsible at such a young age. She is comparable to your sister Xile. She has always wanted to be a female general since she was a child."

"Who is Sister Xile?" Linglong asked, tilting her little head.

"Grandpa, grandma, we're here." Two familiar voices were heard, and the voices came out before the people arrived. They were Cang Yuxiao and Cang Xile.

Mother Ye was overjoyed: "As soon as I said Cao Cao, he arrived. Yuxiao, Xile, come quickly and see your younger brothers and sisters."

"Here I come." Cang ran over happily and immediately started playing with Ye Qiaoyun.

Cang Yuxiao's face was tense, with an expression of a little adult. He hated playing with children younger than him the most. The princesses in the palace could only cry, which was so annoying.

"Little brother, let's have a competition." Ye Linglong ran over with her short legs.

Cang Yuxiao looked at Ye Linglong, who was half a head shorter than her, and felt that she was overestimating herself: "What do you want to compete with me?"

"Let's compete in martial arts. My mother taught me a lot of martial arts and I'm very good at it." Ye Linglong started showing off immediately.

Although she is small, every movement she makes is perfect and she looks very capable.

Cang Yuxiao immediately stopped looking down on her. He had never expected this little girl to be so capable: "Come on, but don't cry if you lose."

"Whoever cries is a puppy." Ye Linglong's little face was extremely serious.

So the two little guys started to compete with each other. Ye Linglong attacked several times but failed to succeed. On the contrary, Cang Yuxiao responded calmly and defeated her in one move.

Cang Xile was surprised: "Brother, you only know how to study on weekdays. How come I don't know when you learned martial arts?"

"You run outside every day, what do you know?" Cang Yuxiao said proudly.

"You actually learned martial arts secretly behind my back. No, starting tomorrow I won't go hunting. I also want to learn martial arts from daddy." Cang Xile's face tightened.

Ye Xingchen and Cang Boyi who followed her were amused by her: "Then you can't complain about the hardship?"

"I will never mind the hardship in order to defeat my brother."

Ye Linglong usually loves to cry, but this time she didn't cry. Instead, she was extremely excited: "Finally, someone is better than me. The uncles and aunts in the village have always given in to me. It's really boring. I want to hang out with my brother in the future."

Cang Yuxiao curled his lips: "You are too weak."

"I can learn it." Ye Linglong said unconvinced.

"Then wait until you have learned it well before we talk." Cang Yuxiao said coldly.

"Okay, I'll compete with you then."

"It will be more lively with more children. Now that you, the fourth child, are back, let someone prepare food immediately. We have to celebrate tonight." Father Ye was in a good mood.

"Okay." Ye Xiaosha immediately asked someone to prepare.

After a while, a large table of sumptuous dishes was served. The children ate with great relish, and the adults toasted to celebrate. The meal was extremely warm and cozy.

A few years later, the children grew up and went out to explore the world. Ye Xingchen and Cang Boyi were very relaxed.

Under the governance of the emperor, the people of Cangyue Kingdom lived and worked in peace and contentment. He promulgated many good policies that benefited the country and the people. The people admired the emperor very much, and he created a prosperous era for Cangyue Kingdom.

And Su Qianmian relied on his upright, fair and strict personality as well as his thunderous methods to rise through the ranks and eventually became the prime minister.

Su Nanyue also got married and gave birth to two lovely daughters and a son. She would come back to visit Su Qianmian whenever she had time.

Su Qianmian had been alone all the time. Su Nanyue came back to visit him this day. After dinner, Su Nanyue's husband took the children to the backyard to play. Su Nanyue looked at Su Qianmian fiddling with the flowers and plants, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke.

"Brother, after all these years, you still haven't let go of Ye Xingchen? Actually, why are you doing this? Maybe she doesn't even know that you are doing this for her?" Su Nanyue said with concern.

For so many years, Su Qianmian has been alone. Su Nanyue didn't know the reason at first, but after she got married, she figured it out. Maybe her elder brother still likes Ye Xingchen.

But she is married to the Regent and now has several children. Why can't eldest brother let it go after all these years?

She couldn't figure it out and didn't understand.

"I don't need her to know. As long as she is safe, it's enough for me. Liking her is my own business and has nothing to do with her. Don't talk too much. I'm fine the way I am now." Su Qianmian replied.

Su Nanyue sighed. She knew that no matter how she tried to persuade him, it would be useless, so she stopped talking.

Perhaps it is true that when you are young, don't meet someone too amazing, otherwise your heart will not have room for anyone else.

Su Qianmian never married in his life, and dedicated his entire life to the court of Cangyue Kingdom.

When Su Qianmian resigned from office and retired, the emperor specially bought him a house for his retirement, and the house was located next to the Regent's Palace.

The emperor didn't know Su Qianmian's thoughts at first, and he mentioned it twice to grant him a marriage, but Su Qianmian refused both times.

Later the emperor discovered that Su Qianmian didn't dislike women, but fell in love with Ye Xingchen. It was a pity that his relationship was destined to be fruitless.

Seeing that Su Qianmian never married in his life, the emperor couldn't help but feel distressed, so when he was old, he wanted to help him.

Sure enough, when Ye Xingchen heard that Su Qianmian moved next door, he came to visit him that same day and brought him a housewarming gift.

Su Qianmian was naturally happy. Although they were already in their twilight years, she could still see Ye Xingchen and he was so close to her. Su Qianmian was also happy.

Even the jealous regent often invited Su Qianmian to visit the regent's mansion. The two of them would play chess for half a day, sometimes even a whole day. Ye Xingchen would accompany them, sometimes serving them some fruits and snacks, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

"Don't you always hate me and don't want to see me?" Finally, one day, Su Qianmian couldn't help but ask.

"I do hate you, but I am touched that you remain single for the sake of Xingchen. We are all going to die, so why bother about it anymore? I just don't want you to die without experiencing the joy of family." Cang Boyi said stubbornly.

"How do you know?" Su Qianmian asked in surprise.

"Am I a fool or a blind man in your eyes?"

"Don't tell her." Su Qianmian frowned.

"Nonsense, I will naturally not tell her. Do you want her to be moved by your deep affection?" Cang Boyi curled his lips.

Su Qianmian finally breathed a sigh of relief: "The Regent is right."

After that, there was no need for Cang Boyi to invite Su Qianmian anymore. Su Qianmian almost lived in the Regent's Mansion all his life. Except for going back to his own mansion to sleep, he spent all his time in the Regent's Mansion.

In the past, he was very concerned about his reputation and considered himself noble, but now that things have been made clear, Su Qianmian has nothing to be embarrassed about.

You are so old, why do you still care about your face? Just do whatever makes you comfortable.

Therefore, in the courtyard of the Prince Regent's Palace, one could often hear Su Qianmian and Cang Boyi arguing with each other, getting angry, and sometimes even quarreling. Ye Xingchen was no longer surprised.

As expected, the old man is like a child.

Being able to grow old together and quarrel together is also a kind of happiness.
