The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.

Six days later, news came back that the prince had led a small group of troops to the outskirts of Chang'an.

The soldiers guarding the city gate quickly reported the news to the imperial city.

All the ministers in the court were very happy to hear that Zhao Zhen had returned.

The prince's return to the capital is a great joyous event.

The little lion ran back to Yichun Palace happily, "Mom, Daddy is coming back!"

Qin Wan also received the news.

She had been looking forward to seeing Zhao Zhen for a long time. Zhao Zhen had been on the expedition for almost half a year.

She has given birth to the child now.

Knowing that Zhao Zhen was going to enter the palace, Qin Wan immediately asked the palace maids to dress her up.

Although we cannot dress too colorfully due to the national mourning, we still need to comb our hair well.

Qin Wan looked at herself in the mirror and slapped her face unhappily. She had just given birth and there was still some fat on her face.

Seeing that Qin Wan was looking in the mirror and ignoring him, the little lion asked again, "Mom, did you hear me?"

Qin Wan stood up and said, "I heard that your father is coming back, and mother knows about it too."

The little lion blinked his big eyes, "Mom, should we go out of town to pick up Dad?"

Qin Wan shook her head, "No!"

The little lion was very disappointed. These days, he had accepted the fact that Grandpa Emperor had passed away and was not as sad as he was before.

Now I want to see my father even more.

At this time, Gui Xi hurried in to report, "Crown Princess, His Highness has entered the Imperial City!"

Qin Wan immediately stood up, "Little Lion, let's go to the Tai Chi Hall!"

"Great!"

The emperor's coffin is in the Taiji Hall, where the body is kept.

The little lion went there often, so he was not afraid.

Qin Wan was delighted to see Zhao Zhen, so she took the little lion and left the East Palace.

Unexpectedly, he was stopped outside the door of Taiji Hall.

"Replying to the Crown Princess, His Highness has given instructions and wants to accompany the Emperor alone!"

Qin Wan: “…”

Qin Wan was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that Zhao Zhen didn't want to see her.

However, thinking of the relationship between Zhao Zhen and the emperor, Qin Wan felt relieved.

The relationship between the father and son of the Zhao family is still very deep. Zhao Zhen must have been very heartbroken that he did not see the emperor for the last time.

Give him some time.

"Okay, then I'll go back first. When the time comes, I'll tell His Highness that I've been here!"

Shi Xi nodded, "Don't worry, Madam!"

The little lion felt a little disappointed. He looked at Shi Xi and said, "Eunuch Shi, Daddy doesn't want to see the little lion either?"

Shi Xi nodded again, "Don't worry, Crown Prince, His Royal Highness is reminiscing about the past with the late Emperor, and I believe he will go to the East Palace to see you soon."

The little lion thought so too, and realized that his father still loved him very much.

Qin Wan took the little lion directly back to the East Palace.

The prince was in the Taiji Hall and took a look at the emperor's coffin.

"All of you, get out!"

Xu You and Mo Xuan looked at each other and then left the hall.

Although the little lion returned to Changchun Palace, he was still curious about what his father was doing.

So, I went directly to his zoo.

This is the place Qin Wanxin opened for him, right in the Daming Palace.

The emperor originally renovated the Daming Palace to please Concubine De.

Now it has been completely used by the little lion, after all, he has too many friends.

If Qin Wan had not met a three-meter-long green snake in Yichun Palace one day, she would not have driven away all the little lion's companions.

Although the snake really wanted to get close to Qin Wan that day, she was still very scared.

Qin Wan is not afraid of the tiger, after all, the tiger head understands human nature very well.

They were just reptiles, and Qin Wan was afraid of them all.

The little lion went to the Daming Palace alone.

Qin Wan went back to Yichun Palace first and went to see the triplets.

The triplets are now two months old. With the careful care they have received in the womb, the three children are now the same size as normal babies.

Qin Wan had not yet named the triplets, as she wanted to wait until Zhao Zhen came back before naming them.

"Greetings to the Queen!"

Qin Wan raised her hand, "No need to be polite, the children are all right!"

Aunt Liang said, "My lady, the little princess was hungry just now, and it was Nanny Fang who fed her."

Qin Wan took the little girl in, and she paid more attention to her.

At the beginning, she fed the baby herself and did not look for a new wet nurse. Not only was she afraid that someone else would take advantage of her in the selection, but she also had enough milk.

Both wet nurses eat well and have plenty of milk.

So three children is enough.

"Put the children in their beds, and get out of here, all of you!"

The two wet nurses knew that the Crown Princess was a very opinionated person, so they did not dare to refute her at all.

Three babies were lying side by side on the bed. Because the weather was hot, they were only wearing a small bellyband.

Qin Wan looked at the three children. Although she was teasing them, her mind was far away.

Why didn't Zhao Zhen see her?

Qin Wan began to have doubts in her heart.

Qin Wan was lost in thought as she sat with her three children until the evening.

The triplets were played with by their mother and fell asleep.

"My lady, dinner is ready!"

At this time, Grandma Ping came in carefully to report.

The Queen was originally very happy when the Prince returned to the palace.

But after visiting the Tai Chi Hall, he became silent and sat in the room for the entire afternoon. It was very unusual.

Granny Ping doesn't often stay with Qin Wan now. Qin Wan is in charge of all the affairs in the harem. Granny Ping was sent by Qin Wan to train new people.

The palace maids recommended from all over the place had to be reviewed by Granny Ping.

Qin Wan looked at the sky outside and said, "It's already this time."

Granny Ping smiled and said, "Your Highness, the prince may be too busy, so he hasn't come back yet. Your Highness, don't worry, the prince will always return to the East Palace at night."

Qin Wan nodded casually, "Okay, I understand."

"Go call back the little grandson and set the table for dinner!"

"Yes!"

But at the evening, Qin Wan was still disappointed.

The prince did not return to the East Palace. After leaving Taiji Hall, he went to Kunning Palace to pay a visit to the queen, and then went to Wanchun Hall.

He also sent a young eunuch to inform him that it was a period of national mourning and that it was not appropriate for him and the Crown Princess to meet, and asked her to take good care of the four children.

From now on, he will live in Wanchun Palace and will not return to the Eastern Palace.

When Shi Xi reported this, his calves were shaking, "Your Majesty, this is what His Highness ordered!"

At this time, Gui Xi spoke up for her master, "Shi Xi, are you misrepresenting the order? How could the Crown Prince not want to see the Imperial Grandson and the Princess? And the Crown Princess is also looking forward to seeing His Highness!"

Qin Wan thought a lot this afternoon. When Zhao Zhen didn't see her in Taiji Hall, she just thought that Zhao Zhen was too sad.

Now, it seems that there is something she doesn't know.

"Shi Xi, do you think the prince who came back this time is different from before?"
