After crossing, I was forced to hold on to my thighs and build a kingdom

Because of the prince's return, Shaoguangyuan was filled with joy early in the morning.

It was already late when Su Cheng'an returned last night. He was tired and hungry, so after washing up and eating, it was already late at night.

The young couple, who had not seen each other for more than half a month, were attracted to each other by chance when they got together. They had a lot of fun together and never went to Hanzhang Courtyard to pay their respects again.

The young couple had a good night's sleep and, after breakfast, walked hand in hand towards Hanzhang Courtyard.

When Princess Du woke up in the morning, she learned that her son had returned home late at night. Now, seeing this talented and beautiful couple who were in love with each other, a satisfied smile appeared on her beautiful face.

"Today is Yizhi's birthday. It's a relief for you to be able to rush back. Have lunch here. Mother will personally prepare two dishes for you."

Princess Du looked at the tall and straight young man, and the love in her heart and eyes found a place to rest, and her heart was filled with sighs.

Time flies so fast. Twenty-two years ago today, you were just a newborn baby, but now you are a man with a family and a career, and are about to have children.

Su Cheng'an stepped forward and bowed. As he stood up, he glanced at Jin Chu and said with a smile, "I once heard Ah Jin say that every child's birthday is the mother's day of suffering. Thinking about it carefully, this statement makes a lot of sense."

He turned and gazed at Princess Du with admiration, his voice low and sincere, "Although today is my birthday, it also marks the day of my mother's suffering. Thanks to your careful nurturing and unwavering care, I have grown from a cradle to the strong man I am today. Today, I once again express my gratitude to you for the painstaking care you've endured over the years of bearing me and raising me."

After saying this, he knelt down solemnly and bowed deeply to Princess Du.

Princess Du, who was originally smiling, now had tears in her eyes.

She personally stood up and helped her son to his feet. When she spoke again, her voice was choked with sobs: "It seems you really have married a good wife. In the past, you were a young man who devoted yourself to official duties, but now you know how to care for me! With your words, no matter how tired I am, my heart is filled with joy."

Su Cheng'an was surprised by Princess Du's reaction, and felt even more apologetic. He called out softly, "Mother."

Princess Du calmed down, patted Su Cheng'an's tall shoulders, and turned to Jin Chu with an even more loving smile: "Yizhi is now twenty-two years old! Ever since your father brought him to the front yard at the age of seven, he has learned to control his emotions like a little adult and pretend to be mature. Because of his status as a prince, he is even more cautious in his words and actions to avoid making mistakes. He rarely responds to my invitation anymore!"

Thinking about the past, a hint of disappointment flashed across Princess Du's face. "Later, he really grew up, but he spent the whole year in the military camp, and I rarely saw him. Ah Jin, to be honest, for the past five or six years, he was always away from home on his birthday, and I gave up the idea of ​​celebrating his birthday again."

"I didn't expect that thanks to you, he would come back today and say such heartwarming words to me. I am truly delighted."

Princess Du's eyes moistened again as she spoke of her feelings. Jin Chu patted her hands and coaxed her with a smile, "Yizhi was previously preoccupied with foreign affairs. It's not that he didn't care about Mother, but he wasn't very good at speaking sweet words. Now that we're married and we have a good relationship, he can't help but listen to my nagging a bit more when he's together. After hearing so much, he naturally understands how difficult it is for Mother!"

Princess Du nodded repeatedly. Jin Chu turned her gaze to Su Cheng'an and said with a smile, "It's only natural for a son to feel sorry for his mother. He just didn't say it because he's a reserved person. Now that he's been infected by my shameless and open attitude, he's naturally become more cheerful and dares to express his gratitude to my mother."

Her words were humorous and playful. She praised Su Cheng'an's heartfelt love for his mother, but did not take any credit for what she said, which only made Princess Du feel very happy.

"You little idiot, what are you talking about!"

Princess Du tapped Jinchu's nose, unable to suppress the smile on her face. "Even though Yizhi is a good person, it cannot erase your contribution, Ajin. If it weren't for you, he might not be able to make me so happy today."

Princess Du held Jin Chu and Su Cheng'an in each hand, then gently placed their hands together and smiled with satisfaction.

"You two are able to love and support each other like this. This is our Dingbei Palace's greatest support! In the future, we must live in harmony and happiness like this for a long time to come."

Jin Chu and Su Cheng'an smiled at each other and nodded at the same time.

Because the prince went on an inspection tour two days ago and has not returned yet, only Jinchu, Su Chengan and Princess Du were at the table for lunch.

The two dishes that Princess Du personally cooked for her son were placed in the middle. Su Cheng'an ate most of them. Looking at the almost empty plate, Princess Du showed a happy smile on her face again.

The best way to show Princess Du her affection is to enjoy the carefully prepared dishes to the people she cares about!

After the meal, Su Cheng'an and Jin Chu accompanied Princess Du for a cup of tea, and were then considerately sent away by Princess Du.

"Yizhi will be leaving again tomorrow, so go back and spend some quality time with Ajin! I've already celebrated your birthday for you, so you two can have dinner in your own yard tonight. You don't have to come to Hanzhang Courtyard tomorrow, just go and do your own things!"

The two of them agreed with a smile and then left Hanzhang Courtyard.

After returning to Shaoguangyuan, Jinchu took out the brocade box that had been prepared long ago, which contained the dragon and phoenix jade pendant.

"Here, this is my birthday gift for you!"

"Thank you, Ajin!"

Su Cheng'an smiled as he took the brocade box. Just as he was about to open it, Jin Chu held him back, "You are not allowed to dislike it!"

The girl tilted her head slightly, her eyebrows tilted sideways, and her slightly arrogant expression revealed a bit of nervousness under the bluff.

Is it because Ajin cares about himself that he acts so unconfidently?

Su Cheng'an felt a warmth in his heart, and he put his hand on the girl's snow-white and smooth hand and rubbed it gently. Jin Chu withdrew her hand in a flash, her cheeks flushed, but her eyes were still staring at the young man in front of her, waiting for his answer.

Looking at her stubborn and awkward look, Su Cheng'an couldn't help but laugh out loud, until the girl hit him unhappily, then he slowly stopped laughing.

"Ajin, you're really worrying too much!"

The young man looked out the window with gentle eyes, his tone filled with a hint of joy, "Even if it's just a handful of broken snow, a withered flower, or a dead leaf, as long as it's brought by Ah Jin, I will be delighted and happy."

Tilting his head to look at the corners of the girl's lips curved up, the young man whispered, "After all, what gift could be more precious than having someone you love care about me too?"

"Glib tongue!"

While making such comments, the girl had an unconcealable smile on her face.

"In that case, how about letting the Crown Prince's Consort have a taste of this smooth talk?"

After saying this, he placed the brocade box on the table and kissed the girl's rosy lips.

While the girl was catching her breath, the young man leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Ajin is the greatest gift I've received this year. With Ajin, I'm content!"

Jin Chu's face turned even redder, and she simply took the initiative to shut his mouth, which seemed to be about to say something else.

"My Ah Jin, you are so enthusiastic. If so, it would be disrespectful for me to refuse!" The young man picked up the girl in his arms and walked towards the bed.
