Cao Jiao nodded:
"Yes, we need to find an opportunity to explain it to her clearly and let her know that we also thought she was..."
"It's no use. I went to look for her, but she wasn't there. I guess she doesn't want to talk about the past anymore and won't see me at all."
Just when everyone was at a loss, Xia Heng suddenly rushed in:
"Your Majesty, the young prince has come and said he's looking for you. He's outside."
He stood up quickly and walked hurriedly towards the door.
As soon as he went out, Jiang Zhixu saw Dabao and Nianchu standing not far away. Both of them were holding a string of red candied haws in their hands and eating them happily.
Jiang Zhixu smiled delightedly. He quickly stepped forward, hugged the two children in his arms, and asked gently, "Why are you here?"
Dabao, still chewing a candied haws, replied vaguely:

Jiang Zhixu looked at Dabao's chubby face and couldn't help but smile and pinched his chubby little hand, teasing:
"Has Dabao gained weight again these past two days?"
Dabao giggled, and held Jiang Zhixu's ear tightly with his little hand and acted coquettishly:
"Uncle, please take us out to play!"
Jiang Zhixu turned his gaze towards Nianchu, only to see her rosy lips stained with the juice of the candied haws, looking adorable. Jiang Zhixu asked happily:
"Nian Chu, does your mother know that you came here to find me? Did you sneak out again?"
Nian Chu puffed out her cheeks and said angrily, "No, it's not true. The Queen Mother said you'd be leaving in a few days, so she wanted me to spend more time with you. She said that even though you and she are no longer together, you'll always be my daddy."
Jiang Zhixu was moved when he heard this. He smiled and picked up the two little guys:
"Okay, then Daddy will take you out to play!"
However, this scene was seen by Cao Jiao and Jiang Shuyan who were not far away. They felt very uncomfortable when they saw Dabao so happy.
When he was in Yan State, Dabao always seemed very reserved and behaved well every day, not at all as lively and happy as he is now.
The two sons are like water and fire, and they really have no way to deal with it. They are still young, and they are fighting like this. Who knows what will happen when they grow up.
