But then the guard said, "This is the Emperor's will. His Majesty has long ago issued an order that the Empress, now pregnant, should not be disturbed or upset. He has listed many people and things that should not bother the Empress. Your family, no matter who or what, is among them."

Song Ming was so embarrassed that his face almost dropped. He quickly covered himself up and tried to pull Li and Song Chusi away.

After hearing this, Li smacked her lips in disappointment and loneliness, then reluctantly pushed away his hand that was about to pull hers.

Song Ming said angrily, "What are you doing? Yuanyuan is the queen now. If you force your way in, aren't you afraid that the emperor will just tell someone to throw you and me into jail?! Have you forgotten those days before? Do you want to do something even worse?!"

Song Ming rarely yelled at her, but today he couldn't help it.

After thinking about it, she realized that her man was indeed anxious, and what he said did make some sense.

After all, she was more afraid, so she let Song Ming drag her away in a daze.

Many people at the palace gate heard it, and the looks they gave them were filled with mockery and ridicule.

The group got back on the Taiping carriage. Song Chusi was now wearing ordinary cloth clothes, which even had two patches on them.

He muttered, "Things are good now! If you hadn't treated me so badly in the past, I wouldn't be in this situation now! I used to think I could enter the palace, and the Empress would at least reward me with some silver and nice clothes!"

Li glared at him fiercely: "Were you good to her before? Didn't you also side with Song Chuchu? If you hadn't offended Yuanyuan first, the emperor would definitely not have issued such an order!"

"What does it have to do with me? Isn't that Song Chuchu the one you want to recognize? You are the ones who said that she is my real sister!"

"You're still being stubborn. Why didn't you do what you wanted back then?!"

"Alright, alright, stop arguing, it's so annoying!!"

"..."

The group left amidst the quarrel.

But there was still a hint of expectation in Li's eyes.

It doesn’t matter. After the queen gives birth, I should have the chance to enter the palace!

……

That night.

After a tiring day, Lu Xuan finally took off the heavy phoenix crown and several red hairpins on her head with the help of the senior palace maids Xiao Kui and Sang Luo.

She lay down on the dragon couch, feeling every pore tremble with comfort. She had gotten up at dawn to prepare, and now her eyelids felt heavy as if they were being tortured.

A group of palace maids took off her clothes and covered her with a thin blanket. After the maids left, she seemed to have someone embraced her in his arms while she was drowsy.

The moon is white and the stars are scattered outside the window, and the wind sways the branches under the eaves.

After a while, smelling the familiar scent of the people around her, she quickly fell into a hazy dream.

"A Xuan, you are amazing! You really killed Jiang Yuanfeng and avenged our sect!"

Yun Xun came towards her lively and energetically, pulling her to look around. "Let mother see that you can live forever in the human world now. But you must take good care of my two little grandchildren in your belly!"

"Two?" Lu Xuan's attention was only on this.

Yun Xun nodded repeatedly, smiling so much that his eyes were invisible: "Yes, there is a princess and a prince. Mother thinks it is better to choose the princess as the successor of the sect, and the emperor must keep the prince as the crown prince..."

Before he could finish his words, an unpleasant cough was heard beside him.

"Xun'er, didn't I tell you not to tell her they were twins?! Heaven's secret cannot be revealed, how could you forget again!"

When the ancestor heard that Yun Xun revealed his secret to her so quickly, she looked quite displeased.

Yun Xun's face was embarrassed, and he said awkwardly: "Well, I couldn't help it..."

After saying that, he glanced at the many ancestors who appeared behind him and winked at her, "Well, Ah Xuan, you must remember the love the ancestors have shown you. These two little ones in your belly were earned by the collective merits of everyone!"

She said righteously, "Originally, you were only supposed to have one baby. Our ancestors understood the righteousness of the matter and felt that someone must inherit the kingdom. Therefore, the successor of the Shenji Sect must have another one. That's why we worked together and prayed for two for you! You must be grateful!"

Lu Xuan understood and immediately said to the ancestors behind him, "Remember, remember, thank you all for your love and care for A Xuan. When the two little ones are born, I will ask them to always remember to burn incense and kowtow to the ancestors..."

Seeing her sincere attitude and genuine expression, everyone's displeasure towards Yun Xun faded away, and they only warned: "When the princess is born, she must abide by the sect's rules and remember the mission of the Shenji Sect!"

"Yes, you should start learning Xuanjutsu from a young age. You can't wait until you grow up to start tutoring like you did!"

"We must firmly grasp the basic skills and never forget the mission of our sect!"

"We still need to recruit new disciples, but that's your responsibility. Right now, you're alone. If that doesn't work out, you can let the locust tree spirit next to you join first..."

Sophora japonica, Sophora japonica tree spirit? !

Suddenly, Lu Xuan was startled from his dream and woke up instantly.

Beside the tent, a ball of green smoke, rubbing its sleepy eyes with two branches, stared at her blankly and said rather aggrievedly, "Master, you called me?"

"I, I didn't call you?"

"Didn't you just call me a locust tree spirit?" As he said this, his mouth pursed, as if he was about to cry.

"Hey... don't cry, don't cry. I, I said the wrong thing, it was Huai Ling." She was suddenly at a loss and touched his head.

Thinking of the words of the ancestors in her dream, she smiled kindly, "Huai Ling, do you want to learn the mystical arts?"

"Mystical arts?!" Huai Ling swept away her previous grievances. She was stunned for two moments, then suddenly jumped up, twirled countless times in the room, and finally rolled in front of her with a trace of afterimage. Her eyes were so narrow that she couldn't see. "I'm willing, I'm willing. I'm willing!"

"Master, are you going to teach me?!" Two big eyes looked at Lu Xuan with great anticipation.

Thinking that she had two children in her belly, Lu Xuan didn't know if she had time to teach him, and she suddenly regretted her impulsiveness.

Suddenly, I heard Qingyan in front of me say, "I dream every day. I dreamed that the sect leader taught me the mysterious art. I dreamed that I was also a member of the Shenji Sect. It was so impressive..."

Lu Xuan's brows twitched, and he was a little bit incredulous: "You...really want to become a member of the Shenji Sect and learn the mystical arts from me?"

There was another round of frantic nodding, and Huai Ling on the opposite side said in a baby voice: "I do, but you are a mighty and powerful sect leader, and I am very happy to be by your side. Didn't you say before that you wanted to put the tree in the palace courtyard? But now that you have entered the palace, please move it here too."

Because Lu Xuan was pregnant, her memory was a little worse than before, and she often couldn't remember things.

So when he looked at the little tree elf in front of him, who was hesitant and seemed a little worried that she would refuse, but also extremely expectant, he suddenly remembered that he had indeed promised her this before.

Smiling at him, Lu Xuan said, "Okay, of course I remember what I promised you before!"

Huai Ling's eyes suddenly lit up again, and she jumped for joy. "Really?! Great, great! I can stay with the Sect Master!"

"Well..." Lu Xuan looked at his excited expression and found it a little funny. "If you're willing, I can take you in as my disciple."

“W-what?!!!”

Huai Ling was startled and felt that everything was so surprising that it seemed unreal.

"The sect leader wants to accept me as his disciple?!"

He seemed to have heard a shocking piece of news, and he shouted so loudly that Jiang Xing woke up immediately.

"Oh my god, then wouldn't I be the proudest of trees, the top of the list among locust trees?! In all these years, I've never heard of a tree that could enter the Shenji Gate!"

Lu Xuan was just thinking that he would have two children in the future, so it would be a good idea to let this tree spirit take care of them, right?

Therefore, he immediately nodded with a kind look, "Yes, the other trees are not as lucky as you!"

Upon hearing the news, Huai Ling was so excited that he kept spinning around, muttering, "Bring honor to my family, bring honor to my family! Thanks to Immortal Huai, I was actually accepted into the Shenji Sect! Ugh, I was accepted as a disciple..."

Huai Ling could no longer sleep and ran out. The sound of her giggling could be heard from far away in the night with the silver moon hanging high in the sky.

Dusk goes and morning comes, the stars move and the constellations change.

In the garden behind the Hall of Mental Cultivation, all the precious flowers and trees were removed and a huge locust tree was planted instead.

When the people from the Garden Bureau first transplanted the tree from the Su family, they were a little worried that such a large tree would not survive if it was moved from the pit.

Unexpectedly, after only one month, the wilted leaves suddenly perked up. They then grew even more vigorously, and in the spring they bloomed more vigorously than anyone else.

The brilliant white tree filled the entire palace with the fragrance of flowers.

The locust flowers bloom and fade, and in the blink of an eye, it is the lush summer.

Lu Xuan recently attended the wedding banquet of Anguo Duke Lu Xuan, and not long after, she also attended the wedding banquet of Lu Xiao and Shen Xingcan. Since learning that she was pregnant, Zhiyi often came to the palace from time to time to bring her various exquisite new teas and snacks from Qingyi Pavilion.

Her belly became bigger and rounder, as if there was a big pot stuffed inside.

Just when she was regretting whether she had eaten too much, waves of unfamiliar stomach pain began to come.

When the queen gave birth to a child, the emperor didn't even read the memorial.

Even the leaves of the tree behind the Hall of Mental Cultivation were shrunken nervously, like a mimosa.

Amidst the tense atmosphere in the palace, two powerful cries broke the tense atmosphere.

Jiang Xing was drenched in sweat and finally fell down on the dragon throne. He clasped his hands together towards the sky and chanted a few words of blessing.

At this time, outside the palace, in addition to the Duke's Mansion, there was another group of people who were also very concerned about the Queen's birth of the dragon heir.

Yes, it’s the Song family.

In the evening, Zhiyi visited the queen. As soon as she came out of the palace, she saw Li, Song Ming and others waiting at the palace gate.

When I saw her come out, her face was smiling brighter than the yellow chrysanthemums in autumn.

Zhiyi ignored them and left with her maid.

A few years later, Lu Xuan, who thought she had completed her sect mission after giving birth to a child, only then realized the horror of the matter.

She and the emperor were busy every day, but it seemed like there was never enough time.

The two people complained bitterly.

Not only does he have to deal with government affairs or some issues to resolve, but he also has to teach two little ones.

Jiang Xing was in charge of educating the Crown Prince, as he was to inherit the throne, while Lu Xuan was in charge of educating the Princess, as he was to teach her the Mystical Arts.

But how could things be as simple as those ancestors just talking?!

For example, at this moment, Jiang Xing was listening to Shen Yuanci's report in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the man in front of him suddenly became speechless.

The two little kids, about four or five years old, hid behind the screen and gossiped again.

"Royal brother, you are talking about him, right? He still hasn't married yet. He must be thinking of stealing our mother. He is still harboring evil intentions. Look, this princess will teach him a lesson!"

"Yes, you did a great job. I heard it from my father a few days ago. Help my father vent his anger!"

The little girl put her hands on her hips, looking quite proud. "I've already cast the immobilization spell I just learned from my mother on him. I don't think he'll be able to break it in three hours!"

"Isn't it true that the Queen Mother's spell of immobilization cannot be broken? Why does yours only last for three hours?"

Looking at Shen Yuanci who was frozen in front of him, Jiang Xing originally wanted to punish the two little guys.

But after listening to the two people's whispered conversation, he suddenly decided not to punish them.

But at this moment, Shen Yuanci's body suddenly relaxed and the spell was suddenly lifted.

Huai Ling floated in angrily and roared, "Princess, what are you doing again?!"

The little girl blinked her eyes, trembled with fear, and quickly turned around and ran away.

"Brother, I, I'm just trying it out, please don't tell Mother..."

When the prince saw the eldest princess running away, he was afraid that his father would find out, so he retreated quickly.

Jiang Xing was left standing there, smiling secretly with relief, pretending to be annoyed and holding his forehead, and hurriedly walked up to Shen Yuanci to pretend to apologize.

"Lord Shen, I'm so sorry, so sorry! The Crown Prince and Princess are being naughty. Please continue...where were we just now?"

Shen Yuanci twitched the corner of his mouth, "Speaking of the Nanjiang flood..."

"Yes, yes, yes. The Nanjiang River is flooding. I think you are very suitable to be the one who controls the flood. I will send you to Nanjiang immediately. If you meet a girl you like there, tell me immediately and I will grant you a marriage!"

"Your Majesty?" Shen Yuanci bowed, frowned, and sighed, "This is already the twentieth place you've sent me. I'm afraid I won't meet the girl I like..."

"No, it's okay. Just go out and walk more! You'll always run into someone if you walk around more..."

[The following is the author’s personal closing remarks]

Time flies, and autumn and winter come in a flash.

Half a year passed, and I waded through the river in plain shoes.

This book has ended here. Thank you to all the readers who have stayed with me until the end.

It is difficult to describe the journey of one’s heart. When I pick up pen, I have many emotions in my mind, but the most common emotions are touching and emotional.

Seeing these words, I know you've reached the end. For me, it's also a sign that another reader has shown me your appreciation, and I can hardly contain my joy.

These days, this book not only brings you companionship in your spare time, but for me, it actually gives me more encouragement and support from your following.

In my opinion, this book still has much to offer, like a fledgling eagle nesting on a cliff, its wings immature and trembling with fear. However, your constant follow-up has kept me determined and passionate about completing the story, and it has also made the young bird always look forward to the day when it will spread its wings.

Becoming an author has been my dream since I was twelve years old.

I am very happy that when my life has settled down a bit, I look back and shake hands with my dream, allowing that seed to germinate and grow, and now bear a green fruit.

Although there were anxiety, uneasiness, worries, and struggles with data along the way, the sense of accomplishment upon completion, and the laughter and tears I experienced when connecting with the characters in my mind, made me happy and immersed in it.

Everyone has a light in their heart, but no one knows what that light looks like until they reach the end.

But you have to go and see it for yourself, even though it may not be very warm and even though it may not be very shining.

There are ripples on the waves and traces left by the passing geese, but as long as you walk by, you will always appreciate the scenery.

Very happy to come here.

I am grateful for your company, the bright moon and the long wind, and the joy and perfection. I hope to see you in the next story.
