Although the old emperor of Northern Chu was crazy, he did have some abilities and talents, otherwise he would not have been able to ascend to the throne.

Therefore, if they want to quickly and completely destroy Northern Chu, they will have to pay a huge price.

This is not a wise move.

According to Ye Xuanqi's inference, it would take at least five years to completely take over Bei Chu.

Therefore, it is a taboo to act too hastily in these five years.

Ye Xuanqi said to Song Yunxi: "The situation has stabilized now. Northern Chu is seriously injured and will not start a war again in a short period of time. Their military and financial resources do not allow it."

"But we also suffered heavy losses and need to recuperate. Rebuilding the captured cities will also require a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources."

"So there will be a long period of peace without any interference."

He happened to be returning to the capital with the mother and son.

Song Yunxi asked him uncertainly: "Can you really leave? Will it cause instability in the army's morale?"

Ye Xuanqi's prestige in the army far exceeded her imagination, not only because he was of the Qin family's bloodline and the grandson of General Dingguo, but also because he had fought his way back from the battlefield with every sword and every gun.

"Now that the situation is stable, it doesn't matter whether I stay or not."

Ye Xuanqi smiled and said, "What's more, we have my second cousin and Yichen here. The two of them can stabilize the morale of the troops and deal with any situation."

In the past few years, the growth of Yu Ziche and Fang Yichen has been amazing, and the soldiers of Beichu feel a headache when they hear their names.

After Ye Xuanqi arranged everything in the army, he was about to take his wife and children back to the capital.

On the day of farewell, Yu Ziche held Ye Jinxi in his arms and was reluctant to let go.

Ye Jinxi hugged Yu Ziche's neck with his short arms, and rubbed his little face against Yu Ziche's face: "Second uncle, I can't bear to leave you!"

It would have been fine if the little guy didn't say anything, but once he did, Yu Ziche felt even more reluctant: "Second uncle is also reluctant to part with our Jin Xi."

Seeing how clingy the uncle and nephew were, Ye Xuanqi really wanted to just take the little guy away.

I've never seen him so reluctant to part with his father.

So, Ye Xuanqi said with evil humor: "Since Jin Xi can't bear to leave his second uncle, then he should stay at the border. I will take your mother back to the capital to give birth to your sister."

That won't work!

When the little guy heard that he was going to be abandoned, he immediately let go of Yu Ziche: "I want to go back with my father and mother. I want to see my sister being born!"

My uncle is a good man, but he is still a little bit inferior to my beautiful mother Xiangxiang.

Especially the combination of mother and sister is invincible for Ye Jinxi.

So, he said to Yu Ziche very apologetically: "Uncle, wait for me. I will come back to accompany you after I see my sister being born!"

After saying this, without waiting for Yu Ziche to react, he kicked his short legs and broke free from his arms and jumped onto the carriage.

Yu Ziche: ...you little heartless person.

Looking at Ye Xuanqi's smug and arrogant look, Yu Ziche secretly cursed him for being childish.

He found that Ye Xuanqi was becoming more and more childish day by day after getting married, and his stupid look sometimes made him want to bite and punch him.

As if worried that Yu Ziche would be sad, the little guy added: "And after I return to the capital, I will go to visit my grandpa, my eldest uncle, and my third uncle. They haven't seen me for a long time, so they must be missing me."

In fact, at his age, he had long forgotten what his grandfather and other two uncles looked like. After all, he was only two years old when he left the capital, which was the age when he could not remember things or people.

But his mother would tell him about his grandfather and others, so he didn't feel very unfamiliar with them.

He also had to go back to visit his royal grandfather and great-aunt, otherwise his royal grandfather would write another letter to scold his father.

Oh, he is such a good son who knows how to share his father’s worries and how to be filial to his father!

Such a good son is hard to find even with a lantern.

No, to use my mother’s words, it would be hard to find the answer even if you were to reincarnate ten times.

Of course, Ye Xuanqi had no idea what his eldest son was thinking.

Song Yunxi told Yu Ziche: "Second brother, you must take good care of yourself. We will come back immediately after the matter in the capital is settled."

Yu Ziche comforted her distressedly: "Don't rush to come back, you must take care of your body first."

After a reluctant farewell, the family of three finally set out on the journey back to the capital.

Seeing Song Yunxi crying, Ye Xuanqi hugged her in his arms: "We will come back after you have given birth and recovered."

Song Yunxi was even sadder: "I just feel sorry for my second brother who is alone at the border."

None of her three brothers had ever planned to get married, so she supported any choice they made, but she felt sorry for them being alone.

Otherwise, isn't it said that people are both contradictory and hypocritical?

Ye Xuanqi followed her words and said, "How about we go back to the capital this time and ask our father to help them settle their marriage? My aunt is also worried about my second cousin's marriage and has written to me several times to ask about it."

Song Yunxi shook her head: "This matter should be decided by my brothers themselves. None of us has the right to interfere."

This is because her mood swings during pregnancy have increased and she feels inexplicably sad.

After listening for a long time, Ye Jinxi swung his short legs and promised Song Yunxi: "Don't worry, mother, I will definitely take care of grandpa and my three uncles in the future!"

Song Yunxi was amused by her son and hugged him in her arms: "Okay, mother believes in Jinxi."

With Ye Jinxi around and Ye Xuanqi's careful arrangements, Song Yunxi did not feel any discomfort while traveling along the way.

When they returned to the capital, everyone came to greet them, even Emperor Qinglong.

When he saw Ye Jinxi, Emperor Qinglong's heart and eyes were filled with his grandson. He decisively pushed Ye Xuanqi away, who was in the way, and hugged Ye Jinxi and asked, "Jinxi, do you still recognize me?"

Ye Jinxi didn't really remember his royal grandfather, but when he saw the majestic dragon robe he was wearing, he immediately said, "Royal grandfather, I miss you so much!"

Emperor Qinglong smiled so much because of the little guy's closeness that his mouth was exposed and his eyes were not. His mouth was stretched to his ears and Ye Xuanqi couldn't bear to watch.

"I've always said that our Jinxi is the smartest child in the world. Look, even his memory is so amazing."

Ye Xuanqi really wanted to ask: In your eyes, is there anything bad about you, the eldest grandson of the emperor?

But he only dared to think about it and didn't dare to ask.

Ever since Ye Jinxi was born, the status of the brothers has plummeted.

Although their status was not very good in the past, at least the old man could still see them. Now he doesn't even look at them.

Emperor Qinglong held Ye Jinxi tightly and said to Song Yunxi lovingly, "It's good that you're back. How can we be at ease when you're giving birth outside with a big belly?"

"If you don't come back this time, your father will probably have to go to the border to bring you back personally."
