Just then, there was the sound of footsteps, followed by a deep voice: "What are the princesses talking about?"

Jiang Lingyue turned around and saw a handsome and elegant man who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old walking towards her.

She activated her Eye of Identification and looked over.

[90 years old, yellow-grade middle-grade wood spirit root, initial stage of foundation building.]

"You are... my father?" Jiang Lingyue recognized the man by his face shape and facial features. He was the Ninth Princess's biological father, Shen Cejun.

"You have achieved a breakthrough? That's great. Congratulations, father."

Shen Cejun coughed lightly, a blush flashing across his face, "Ahem, thanks to the technique you gave me, Lingyue, Her Majesty the Queen has been getting closer to me recently."

Jiang Lingyue understood instantly that by practicing dual cultivation with the empress of a higher realm, Shen Cejun gained a huge basic benefit.

It is almost catching up with Jiang Lingyue's dual cultivation with her husband or servant at a lower level, where the basic gain multiplied by the full score of favorability adds up to a dual cultivation speed of 256 times.

But the Queen's cultivation level did not improve as fast. After several months, her realm had not improved.

The Queen did not despise Shen Cejun's low level of cultivation and was willing to practice with him. It can be seen that in the Queen's heart, she still liked Shen Cejun more.

Now, Shen Cejun's cultivation has broken through to a great level, his lifespan has increased and his body has become younger, and he is estimated to have regained the favor of the Queen.

Jiang Lingyue speculated that the higher the cultivation level of the dual cultivation partner, the stronger the basic benefit effect she would obtain.

The speed of her and her partner's dual cultivation is the basic gain multiplied by the favorability bonus. For others, without the favorability bonus given by the system, the dual cultivation speed is only the basic gain.

Shen Cejun walked to Jiang Lingyue, looked at the Fourth Princess and said, "Fourth Prince, today is the Queen's birthday. Is there any unhappiness between you and Lingyue?"

When the fourth princess saw this, she showed an unwilling look on her face, but she didn't know what to say.

Jiang Lingyue left with Shen Cejun.

On the way, she thought to herself that the Fourth Princess already knew that she was pregnant with Ye Xinghe's child, so she had to be careful at all times to prevent the Fourth Princess from harming her.

Shen Cejun patted her shoulder and comforted her with a smile: "Don't worry about it. If the fourth princess bullies you, just tell your father."

Jiang Lingyue nodded slightly to express her gratitude.

She looked up at Shen Cejun, and suddenly remembered something, and said, "Father, I am pregnant with the child of Ye Xinghe, the eldest prince of Qingyang. The fourth princess is infatuated with Ye Xinghe, and I am afraid she will take revenge on me."

A hint of surprise flashed across Shen Cejun's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. "Ye Xinghe? You are actually involved with him? Although he is the eldest prince, his situation in Qingyang Kingdom is not optimistic."

Jiang Lingyue had already guessed in his heart that if he was really a respected prince, it would be impossible for a legitimate eldest son like him to be sent abroad for so many years.

"Lingyue, don't be afraid. Since you are pregnant, your father will do his best to protect you." Shen Cejun looked like he was protecting his child, which was completely different from his usual gentle appearance.

"Thank you, father." Jiang Lingyue said gratefully.

After a while, the two returned to the couch where Jiang Lingyue was.

Wen Yuanzhou and Gu Yuan turned around and saw Jiang Lingyue having a great conversation with the handsome man next to her, and their faces became stiff and puzzled.

"Yuanzhou, Gu Yuan, come quickly and meet father."

When they heard her voice, a hint of surprise flashed across their faces, but then they reacted and hurried forward to salute.

Shen Cejun smiled and nodded, "No need to be polite."

Shen Cejun was not present when she married Gu Yuan, and her face could not be seen because of her veil when she married Wen Yuanzhou. After her cultivation increased, her legs recovered and her body became younger.

Afraid that they wouldn't recognize each other, Jiang Lingyue introduced them considerately: "This is Wen Yuanzhou, my husband. This is Gu Yuan, my concubine."

Shen Cejun looked at the two of them, with a flash of amazement in his eyes, "My son's vision is really good. Both of his husbands are so dignified."

Wen Yuanzhou and Gu Yuan responded modestly to Shen Cejun's compliments.

Shen Cejun turned to look at Jiang Lingyue and asked with concern: "Lingyue, you are pregnant now, you must take good care of yourself. If you need any precious medicinal materials, just ask."

Jiang Lingyue felt warm in her heart, "Thank you for your concern, father. Lingyue is doing well."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Shen Cejun returned to his seat.

The Queen's birthday banquet can be said to be both grand and magnificent.

In the morning, everyone first presented gifts, then enjoyed various wonderful performances and a rich and delicious lunch.

In the afternoon, we went to the garden together to enjoy the flowers and played some relaxing and interesting games.

It was not until after dinner that people began to disperse one after another and leave this majestic and magnificent palace.

On the way back, Jiang Lingyue was worried that the Fourth Princess would send someone to assassinate her family while it was dark.

Until late at night, the group finally returned safely to the Ninth Princess's Mansion.

The New Year is approaching and the college is on holiday.

After that, Jiang Lingyue seldom went out.

She stayed in the Ninth Princess's Mansion every day, refining elixirs or playing with the children during the day, and practicing with her two husbands at night. Although her life was dull, she lived a comfortable life.

Early in the morning on New Year's Day, the housekeeper Qiu Ju got up early and directed the servants in the mansion to get busy.

Before the sun rose, they decorated every corner of the mansion to make it festive and lively.

Big red lanterns are hung high, colorful silks flutter in the wind, exquisite paper-cuts are pasted on the windows, and auspicious spring couplets are hung on the doors.

At noon, the whole family sat in the spacious and bright hall and enjoyed the sumptuous reunion dinner together.

The table was filled with all kinds of delicious food, the aroma was fragrant, and everyone was laughing and having fun.

After dinner, according to the customs of this world, Jiang Lingyue distributed New Year's red envelopes to the children and servants in the mansion.

This reminded her of her original world, which seemed to be full of warmth and joy as well.

In the afternoon, when the sun was shining brightly, Wen Yuanzhou, the principal husband, and Gu Yuan, the concubine, came to the courtyard where Jiang Lingyue lived.

In the courtyard, Chuntao, the personal maid, had already instructed people to set up the tables, chairs and tea sets, and everything seemed in order.

Wen Yuanzhou sat quietly aside, gently plucking the strings of the zither, and the melodious sound of the zither flowed in the air like a gurgling stream.

His fingering is skillful and agile, and every note seems to carry deep emotion, which makes people intoxicated.

At the same time, Gu Yuan was dancing with a sword in his hand.

His movements were both hard and soft, and matched with the rhythm of the piano, forming a beautiful picture. Where the sword light flashed, it seemed as if petals were falling, which was beautiful beyond words.

Jiang Lingyue sat leisurely at the table, holding her half-year-old son Liangliang in her arms.

She savoured the exquisite tea and snacks, listened to the touching music, and admired the wonderful sword dance from time to time.

The family was reunited, the scene was relaxed and warm, and she felt as if her life had reached its peak.

As night fell and the lights came on, after dinner, Jiang Lingyue took the family together with Qiu Ju, Chun Tao and Gu Xue to start a joyful fireworks feast.

The colorful fireworks bloomed brilliantly in the night sky, lighting up the entire courtyard.

Everyone laughed constantly and a joyful atmosphere filled the air.

Before they knew it, it was already late at night, and everyone reluctantly went back to their rooms.

We bid farewell to the old and usher in the new, and it is already a new year.
