Song Qin changed his hugging posture, and then he and his daughter looked at each other. This was the first time they met as father and daughter.
After a while, Song Qin suddenly started to smile innocently. "It's a good thing I look like you. Even if I become a little fat boy, I'll still look good!"
Wei chuckled softly, "I was never fat when I was a kid."
"Wow~Wow~" The little baby suddenly started to make a noise again, his mouth was pouting into a line, his eyes were full of tears, and his legs were kicking.
Even though she is only four months old, she eats a lot, grows fast, and is quite strong.
Song Qin panicked again and looked at his wife hurriedly, "What's wrong with her?"
Wei gently patted her swaddled daughter and guessed, "You must be upset because you called her a little fat."
Song Qin coaxed his daughter in a low voice, "You're just a little old, and you're so concerned about whether you're fat or not?"
Wei leaned on her husband's shoulder and helped him coax their daughter. She hadn't been so happy for a long time.
Song Qin stopped mid-coaxing and looked up at his wife. "I've let you down this past year."
Wei shook her head. "As long as you can come back, I'm willing to wait as long as you want."
Song Qin held Wei in his arms and whispered a promise, "I will never leave you alone again."
Chu brought Anan back to their room, and then was asked, "Mom, Chichi's sister's father is back, so when will Anan's father come back?"
I saw my daughter tilting her head back, her eyes filled with confusion and longing.
Four-year-old Anan can no longer remember what her father looks like, but she vaguely knows that her father is a very important person to her and her mother.
Mrs. Chu held her daughter in her arms lovingly and said softly, "Anan's father has always been by her side, but she can't see him right now."
Anan didn't understand. She was a little anxious. "When will Anan be able to see Daddy? I've almost forgotten what Daddy looks like."
Chu forced a smile and said, "Mother, remember, tomorrow I will draw a father for Anan, okay?"
In fact, she seemed to be almost unable to remember her husband's features. From the time he went to war to the time she knew he was surrounded by the enemy and finally lost even his body, Chu had already prepared herself to never see him again in her life.
But today, when she saw her second brother standing alive in front of everyone, for a moment, she actually felt a little greedy and expected something.
"Then can you draw a few more pictures, Mom? Nan is worried that Daddy will be lost."
Chu withdrew her thoughts, touched her daughter's soft face, and agreed with a smile, "Okay, mother will draw ten or eight portraits of daddy for Annan tomorrow, okay?"
After hearing this, Anan jumped up and down happily, her daddy was going to "come back"!
And there are so many dads!
Outside.
Song Wan was holding a box of snacks, sitting against the wall, eating and watching.
Seeing her second brother and his wife hugging each other, she suddenly had a doubt, "Gu Yan is anxious, if they hug each other like this, will Chi Chi be unable to breathe?"
Gu Yanji, who was not willing to look at anything inappropriate, had no idea how Song Qin held her. He couldn't answer this question, so he advised, "A Wan, why don't we go downstairs to eat?"
Song Wan refused, then threw another piece of sweet date cake into her mouth, "I want to see if they will kiss next~"
There were no televisions in this era, so watching them was just watching TV.
Gu Yan is anxious...
Song Qin shouldn't be so inconsiderate, he suddenly felt scared.
Fortunately, Song Qin finally knew how to restrain himself and did not make any inappropriate actions in the hall.
Song Wan looked regretful, "Why is it different from what was played in the drama?"
Gu Yan remained calm despite being anxious, but he felt relieved inside. However, he was curious about the drama Song Wan was talking about. "Could it be that Ah Wan used to watch it often?"
Although I don't know what a drama is, I can tell from her tone that the situation she described is not uncommon in the place where she lives.
"Of course. Where I used to live, there was a profession that was a bit like what you call a money-making skill here. We called them actors. They filmed all kinds of stories and then put them on TV, in a black box, for us to watch."
"The stories are just like the storybooks you see in bookstores here. There's stories like a rich lady and a poor scholar, a princess falling in love with a great general, and so on. There are all kinds of stories," Song Wan said as an example. "We also have operas there, but everyone likes to watch pre-performed ones. They can watch them whenever they want, without having to go to the theater."
Just by listening to her simple description, Gu Yanji could imagine how novel the era she originally lived in was. He thought that even if Daiyue passed a few hundred or a thousand years, it would not be able to reach the era she lived in.
"Does Awan still want to go back?" Gu Yan asked anxiously.
Song Wan shook her head.
Gu Yan put it down anxiously, "Why?"
"It's very simple. I can eat my fill here." Song Wan straightened his back. "And I still have plenty of money. I can buy more food with it."
If she returned to the apocalypse, not only would food be scarce, but she would also have to live in fear every day. The food she earned from killing zombies would barely be enough for two meals a day.
During the ten years of surviving in the apocalypse, every day when I opened my eyes, I would kill zombies, fill my stomach, get some sleep, and then get up to kill zombies again.
She repeated these three things every day, day after day, year after year, until she died in the zombie swarm as the last person in the team.
"What else?" Gu Yanji's eyes revealed a hidden expectation.
"There are also my parents, my eldest sister-in-law, my second sister-in-law, my second brother, Ayue, and Anan. Eat, eat." Song Wan counted them one by one, "and my second uncle's family."
She had never had so many blood relatives before.
Gu Yan was anxious: "...It's gone?"
What about him? Doesn't he count?
Song Wan held her chin with her hand, seeming to be thinking seriously.
Gu Yan is anxious...
"That's it?" Song Wan racked her brains but couldn't think of another person. "Do I have any other relatives?"
Gu Yan's anxiety meant that her elder brother was not dead yet.
It can be said that the two people are completely on different channels and are talking about their own things.
"Isn't it me?" Gu Yan finally asked this question anxiously.
"Of course you're not." Song Wan shook her head decisively, "You're a man, not a relative."
In just a few moments, Gu Yanji felt the greatest ups and downs in life.
He didn't know whether to be happy or helpless, perhaps more happy than disappointed, "I want to be your relative too."
Song Wan frowned fiercely after hearing this, "You want to be my brother too?"
Gu Yan is anxious...
Song Wan then added, "If you want to be my third brother, we can't be in love."
Then she remembered that there was no "dating" here, so she added, "That means we can't get married, and we can't kiss in the future."
Gu Yan is anxious...
He obviously didn't mean that, okay.
Also, when have they ever kissed?
The fact that Song Qin is still alive is the best news for several families in recent days.
In order not to worry them, before returning home, Song Qin, his sister Song Wan and Gu Yan hurriedly talked to the insider and erased everything they had suffered in Prince Yu's Mansion in front of their family.
As for the wounds on his body, he said they were caused when he was escaping from pursuit. Moreover, he already had many knife and sword wounds on his body from the battlefield.
The mixture of truth and falsehood can still be explained easily.
Song Wanjian told everyone everything he could about what happened in Tahui Pass and Yizhou. After learning about Prince Yi's attitude, Song Zhaoyuan sighed slightly. If the late emperor had paid attention to Prince Yi at the beginning, perhaps the current situation would not be here.
Gu Xun didn't think the late emperor hadn't noticed, but rather that Prince Yi was deliberately hiding his abilities. Furthermore, under the circumstances at the time, Prince Yi was only a ten-year-old boy. "Brother Song, under those circumstances, the late emperor, in order to protect the late empress, even considered abandoning the unborn... little prince. Prince Yi was only a child at the time, and his mother didn't have many advantages in the harem other than her friendship with the late empress."
Under the rule of the previous emperor, Dai Viet had managed to maintain stability for five or six years. However, Daye and the Qiang tribe suddenly attacked with great force, seemingly about to break the defenses of the two territories.
Even the small tribes in the east were ready to make a move. If they supported Prince Yi, who was still a young prince at that time, it would be equivalent to cutting off the power of the other two adult princes in the court. Otherwise, given the situation at that time, Prince Yi might not live to see the throne of the crown prince.
However, it would not be a good move for Dai Viet at that time if it suddenly suppressed the Linyuan Marquis and Pingen Duke families who followed it to fight for the world.
Dai Viet at that time could not be without an adult prince. If the two Kings Xiang and Yu were captured at the same time, Daye and the Qiang people would have to go all out to attack the border. Then, the fact that Dai Viet was short of troops would no longer be concealed.
However, if only those with the most serious crimes were arrested, after the death of the previous emperor, the situation in the court would all tilt towards one side, and neither Prince Xiang's grandfather, Duke Ping'en, nor Prince Yu's grandfather, Marquis Linyuan, would miss this opportunity.
The first ones to be dealt with must be the Weiyuan Marquisate and the Southwest Prince's Mansion, which are far away on the border and hold most of the military forces.
If that happens, the situation will only get worse.
Only by allowing the two of them to check and balance each other can Dai Viet have a chance, the border can get a breathing space and devote itself to fighting the enemy on the battlefield.
The late emperor also knew that he had neglected to discipline his two sons, but by the time he discovered this, the two sons had already developed a deep and inseparable relationship with their respective maternal grandparents.
Therefore, all the late emperor could do was to let Dai Viet persist for at least another ten years before A Yu grew up in his limited life.
Song Zhaoyuan had certainly thought of all this, but he just couldn't accept that such a good monarch as the late emperor would die in the factional struggle between his two sons. However, for the sake of the entire Dai Viet, for the people, for the border security, and for the little prince, the late emperor could only endure it for the time being.
Just as the late emperor had expected, whether it was Prince Xiang who had become the emperor or Prince Yu who had always been eager to seize the throne, they had never cared about the people of Dai Viet. All they wanted was the seemingly supreme imperial power.
