Chapter 140: Leading the Army to Departure



"Mother, why hasn't Father checked my homework recently?"

Xingxing stood in front of Su Jingyao, her little face wrinkled and her mouth pouting.

His unhappiness was written all over his face.

"Why, can't your mother check your homework?"

Su Jingyao sat upright on the couch, one hand gently holding the edge of the couch, and the other hand holding the homework written by Xingxing, reviewing it with a focused look.

Because the country integrated the cultures of hundreds of schools, except for the last two or three emperors who maintained the status quo and did not expand the territory, the territory of the country has been expanding step by step since the founding emperor of the country.

After three hundred years of rule, although the kingdom unified the languages of various regions, it still retained some commonly used languages.

Therefore, Xingxing had to learn three languages since childhood to adapt to different political and cultural environments.

His homework is also written in three languages at the same time.

Not to mention, Su Jingyao has not learned the other two languages, so it’s no wonder that Xingxing dislikes her a little.

"No, if your mother checks your homework, I will slack off."

Xingxing lowered her head and rubbed her toes on the ground, her voice small and with a hint of reluctance.

A gentle smile bloomed on Su Jingyao's face, and she gently touched Xingxing's forehead with her finger.

He scolded: "You little brat."

Because Jun Zechen was too strict with Xingxing, Su Jingyao implemented an encouraging policy towards Xingxing and usually praised him.

Su Jingyao also understood the child's desire to admire the strong. Xingxing worked very hard on her homework in the hope of gaining Jun Zechen's approval.

"Your father has some important things to arrange recently, so your mother will be checking your homework for a long time."

Su Jingyao put away her smile and her expression became a little serious.

"The Queen Mother will no longer be lenient with you from now on."

Su Jingyao spoke seriously, with seriousness in her eyes.

When Jun Zechen is around, she can be a loving mother, but when Jun Zechen is not around, she naturally has to be strict.

There was some doubt on Xingxing's face, and her clear big eyes were blinking.

"Mother, will this subject not be able to see Father for a long time?"

"In a few days, your father will go to war. When he returns victorious, Xingxing will be able to see him."

Su Jingyao's voice was as gentle as the spring breeze.

"While my father is away, I will study hard and not let my mother worry."

Xingxing straightened his small body, with a serious look on his face and a firm gaze.

"good."

Su Jingyao put down the homework she was doing with Xingxing, gently held his face with both hands, and kneaded it gently a few times.

Xingxing also smiled and let his mother pinch his face, his eyes narrowed into crescents, with happiness and enjoyment.

At this moment, Jun Zechen walked in.

As soon as Xingxing saw Jun Zechen, her originally relaxed face immediately became serious, and she even moved her mother's hand away from her face.

Bowing respectfully, he said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Father."

"Get up." Jun Zechen's voice was low and majestic.

Su Jingyao sat on the couch and did not stand up to greet. Now that they were not outside, Su Jingyao and Jun Zechen saved a lot of formalities.

With a smile in her eyes, she watched the father and son "pretending" to each other with interest.

"Go check on your younger brothers and sisters, then go back and review the lessons your tutor asked you to review."

Jun Zechen's expression was serious.

He rarely showed intimacy with Su Jingyao in front of Xingxing and always maintained a dignified appearance.

Xingxing was a little reluctant, with her little mouth slightly pouted, like a little bun that had been wronged.

Her pink lips curled up higher and she looked at Su Jingyao pitifully, asking for help.

He twisted his body unconsciously, obviously not wanting to leave.

Su Jingyao knew that Xingxing was still attached to Jun Zechen.

She chuckled and got off the couch, walking over to Xingxing.

She bent down and gently picked him up.

Then, she turned around and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, I can't hold you anymore."

After saying that, he handed the star to Jun Zechen.

The stars were surprised for a moment, their eyes wide open, like two bright gems.

Then he looked at his always serious father curiously, feeling nervous. Would his father hug him?

Jun Zechen looked at her expectant eyes, his heart softened, and he reluctantly took the star from her hand.

Xingxing immediately put her arms around Jun Zechen's neck and smiled at Su Jingyao with satisfaction.

Obviously very happy.

After hugging for a while, Jun Zechen put Xingxing down and touched his head.

Only then did Xingxing retreat happily.

After Xingxing left, Jun Zechen walked to the couch and sat down with a slightly tired look.

He placed his head on Su Jingyao's shoulder, and said lazily, "What are you doing, Yaoyao?"

"I was just checking Xingxing's homework. He did very well, but what Xingxing wants most is your approval as his father."

Su Jingyao tilted her head slightly with a gentle smile on her face.

"Xingxing does indeed always do well. His average standard sets a high standard for others. Therefore, I only praise him after I get to know him and when he performs above and beyond his average standard."

Jun Zechen closed his eyes and spoke slowly.

"So as not to become proud at such a young age."

Xingxing has been the center of attention since he was a child. His status is so high that everyone around him, including the Taifu, is kind to him.

Only Jun Zechen can suppress him.

Su Jingyao nodded in agreement.

Then Su Jingyao seemed to remember something and frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty, Xu Ronghua and Yan Ronghua gave birth to princes a few days ago. Xu Ronghua's is the sixth prince, and Yan Ronghua's is the seventh prince."
