The eldest lady is both a doctor and a warrior, they love her so much

"Who can guarantee that they won't suddenly point their spearheads at us one day? Rather than sit there and wait for death, passively taking a beating, we might as well take the initiative. Once Zhongzhou becomes a vassal state of Daxia, we can use its powerful strength to effectively curb the expansion of Western Liao and ensure our own safety."

Song Guanqing's words were powerful and caused a stir in everyone's hearts.

For a moment, everyone looked at each other, and no one could refute it immediately.

Finally, it was Hua Moxuan who broke the silence, sighing and saying, "This is a matter of great importance and far-reaching impact. Have you really thought it through? Zhongzhou has existed for hundreds of years since its establishment and has never been a vassal state of another country. If you do this, I'm afraid the history books won't say it well, right?"

As he finished speaking, the room returned to silence again, and everyone's eyes were focused on Song Guanqing.

"History books and the like, aren't they all decided by the superiors? Now that I am the ruler of Zhongzhou, naturally my words are final. At the beginning, I had already discussed with His Majesty of the Great Xia Kingdom. Zhongzhou will retain some sovereignty and can manage its own internal affairs, but it will be subject to the Great Xia Kingdom in terms of diplomacy, culture, economy, etc. In fact, there is no change, but the implementation time will have to wait until my third brother ascends the throne."

"What? The next emperor of Daxia Kingdom is my third brother?" Xie Yunxiao was shocked again, but when he thought about it, it seemed that except Ye Lansheng, no other prince was suitable!

"Why are you so surprised? You didn't expect it? But you don't know much about Daxia, that's normal." Song Guanqing's voice was filled with a faint smile.

Although Hua Xin was very surprised, since it was a decision she had already made, she chose to accept it. After all, it made no difference to her.

"With Xiaowu's gift, our gifts seem insignificant." Hua Moxuan was obviously a little jealous, but what he said was true.

"It's all different. I missed Huahua's birthday this year. I originally wanted to send it to her personally on her birthday. Now it's not a bad idea. I'll just treat it as a New Year's gift." Song Guanqing said gently looking at Hua Xin.

After hearing this, Hua Xin's mouth corners slightly raised and a hint of emotion flashed in her eyes.

Song Guanqing thought for a moment and said, "Chuan'er and Luo'er's identities will not change. Even if Zhongzhou becomes a vassal state, it will still be autonomous. They are still the prince and princess."

"You don't have to explain this. My child is of noble origin. It doesn't matter where he or she is from." Hua Xin responded softly.

"Yes, Huahua is right." Song Guanqing nodded with a smile.

At the end of February, Nangong Ziqiu and Ye Lansheng returned to the capital. The vanguard brought news that it would be around the next two days.

Hua Xin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she received the news. She was really worried that they wouldn't be there when the child was born.

"Can't sleep again?"

The one accompanying Hua Xin tonight is Mo Chuli. For Hua Xin in the late stages of pregnancy, sleep is a luxury.

I felt uncomfortable lying down, so I had to sleep sitting up. I couldn't sleep well sitting up, and I had to get up frequently. Plus, I had two babies in my belly, which made it even more uncomfortable.

I originally thought that the baby would be born early like the last time, but it’s already the end of February and there’s still no news.

"The kids are really good at staying still. Did they bother you?" Seeing Hua Xin squinting her eyes and not wanting to talk, Mo Chuli started to massage her legs.

"Chu Li, I feel a little hungry, but I can't eat."

Hua Xin opened her eyes and felt that the room was too dark.

"Light another candle. It's getting a little dim."

"Okay." Mo Chuli stood up and lit the candle on the candlestick a little further away.

The room suddenly became much brighter.

"I feel much better now. Come on, help me into the room."

Hua Xin felt that it had only been less than fifteen minutes since she last went into the room. It was really tiring.

"Don't worry." Mo Chuli was worried that Hua Xin would fall, so he supported her carefully, fearing that she would have an accident.

Suddenly, there was a slight noise outside, mixed with Haruko's voice.

"Hey, why do I hear someone coming outside?" Hua Xin walked out of the bathroom curiously, looked at Mo Chuli and asked puzzledly.

"Please sit still. I'll go out and check what's going on." Mo Chuli became alert. He comforted Hua Xin and then quickly walked towards the door.

Just as he opened the door, Chunqin's clear voice came from outside: "Miss, Nangong Langjun and Ye Langjun are back!"

"Chu Li, they are back!" Upon hearing this, Hua Xin felt a surge of joy in her heart and a bright smile appeared on her face.

She originally thought that they would take some time to arrive, but she didn't expect them to come back in the middle of the night today.

What a surprising news!

"Chunqin, turn on the lights quickly and ask someone to notify the kitchen to prepare some delicious food." Hua Xin was so excited that she couldn't sleep at all and couldn't wait to see them.

"Miss, the two gentlemen are taking a bath and changing clothes now, so it will probably take a while for them to come. Don't worry, I will arrange for the kitchen to prepare food right away." Chunqin replied with a smile, she was also happy for the young lady.

Chunqin's face was filled with a happy smile. She thought that now everyone in the mansion was finally gathered together, and everyone could wait with peace of mind for the eldest lady to give birth to the baby safely.

It was estimated that the two of them were anxious to see Hua Xin, and they came hurriedly soon after.

"Xinxin!"

Nangong Ziqiu's first glance fell on her belly, which was really impossible to ignore.

"Xinxin, don't move, let's come over here."

Ye Lansheng originally wanted to hug Hua Xin, but when he saw her belly, he gave up the idea.

Knowing it from a letter is one thing, seeing it with your own eyes is another, and it looks like this belly is even bigger than last time.

"You two really are."

If it weren't for those two familiar faces, Hua Xin would have thought they were savages running out from some deep mountains and forests.

It was the first time she saw two men with unshaven beards, which was completely different from the image she had in mind.

I guess I knew what Hua Xin was looking at.

Nangong Ziqiu said embarrassedly: "We were on our way so we ignored these things."

"Yes, the main force will take at least three or four days to return. We were afraid that you would give birth prematurely, so we traveled day and night for fear that we would not be able to catch up. Now it seems that we have caught up."

It was also the first time that Ye Lansheng had disregarded his image, but the person in front of him was the one he had been thinking about the most! It was not worth wasting one more day.

"Okay, now that you've seen it, I'm fine. We'll eat slowly later. After we're done, you can all take a break and have a good sleep, okay?"

Hua Xin smiled, her heart full of emotion. I don't know if the two little ones in her belly felt that they were a little lively now that two more fathers had come.
