The mistress is not a cannon fodder, the cold prince falls in love with her every night

It's quiet at night.

After an in-depth communication, the couple hugged each other and chatted.

"You said the emperor intends to pass the throne to Huan Ge'er?"

Su Li curled up softly in Pei Heng's arms.

After four years as a couple, they have become more and more in tune with each other in this regard, unlike the beginning when they always had some bumps in the road, which makes me feel nervous when I think about it.

Pei Heng caressed Su Li's back and kissed her hair.

"Ah."

His A'li is becoming more and more beautiful. Fortunately, he is in his prime and can stay with A'li for a long time.

"What's your attitude?"

Su Li in her arms asked.

Pei Heng was silent for a moment.

"If Pei Huan were still here, I definitely wouldn't object. But now it's Brother Huan. He's only 12 years old, and I can't bear to let him go."

Su Li said:

"I think we should ask his own opinion. The emperor is right. He is not a capable person to govern the world. Otherwise, in another life, he would not have been controlled by Pei Yan and his power would not have been hollowed out."

"But Huan'er is still so young, and he has to bear such a heavy burden..."

"Perhaps he doesn't think it's a burden?"

Su Li knew a little about Huan Ge'er.

This child has always had great ambitions in his heart.

In that life, he endured humiliation and raised Da Xijie'er alone at a young age, and was able to pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar on his own. After entering the Dali Temple, he completed his revenge plan step by step.

All of this is beyond the reach of ordinary people!

Although Huan Ge'er no longer has to go through all this, his abilities, qualifications, and ambitions are still there.

He is still him!

"Ari, do you really think so?"

Su Li hugged him tighter and said softly:

"The children have grown up. They need to make their own decisions about what path they will take and what they want to do in the future. As parents, we have fulfilled our responsibilities in raising them. We can no longer decide their future."

"As long as they decide for themselves, we will do our best to support them."

Pei Heng sighed softly.

"Ari, I still see things more clearly than you do in this regard."

Su Li sneered:

"Don't forget, I was older than you are now before I traveled through time! I've lived two lives, so I've experienced more than you."

Pei Heng also laughed.

Yes, Huan Ge'er is not an ordinary child. He can choose what he wants to do. Once he makes a decision, I will fully support him.

Right now, the important thing is to spend every day happily with the children.

The Lantern Festival passed in a blink of an eye.

Pei Shizong was also preparing to head south.

Before leaving, he was still reluctant to leave Pei Heng, so he went out reluctantly and got on the carriage reluctantly.

Pei Shizong held on to the edge of the carriage tightly and refused to lower the curtain.

"Brother Heng, after this departure, I'm afraid we'll be separated forever. You, you must take good care of yourself. Dad will write to you when he gets to Lin'an. Remember to write to you when you have time too!"

In his heart, he still hoped that Pei Heng could keep him.

Pei Heng remained indifferent and just nodded hesitantly.

Su Li couldn't bear to watch it any longer, and said with a smile:

"Father, don't worry. I've bought a lot of tea plants and shops in Lin'an, and I'll have to go inspect the properties. When the time comes, I'll definitely bring my husband and children to visit you and Grandmother."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Pei Shizong nodded repeatedly.

His son was not happy to hear his words, but he knew that his son would obey his daughter-in-law's words. Since his daughter-in-law said so, his son would definitely come.

Su Li said again:

"Father, I've prepared these things for you, so please don't be reluctant to eat them. Also, I've prepared this tobacco, all of the finest quality. But please smoke less, as it's harmful to your lungs."

Pei Shizong smiled,

"I didn't know about this wonderful thing before, but now I rely on it. I know in my heart that I don't have much time left to live, so I'm happy every day."

After hearing what Pei Shizong said, I couldn’t say I was sad, but I did feel a little emotional.

Su Li arranged for people to load the things into the car and sent two guards to escort them along the way.

He kept watching Pei Shizong go away.

Pei Heng retracted his gaze and said:

"Okay, it's cold, so go back quickly. I'll go to the palace with Huan Ge'er."

I had promised the Queen Mother that I would send Huan Ge'er back after the Lantern Festival.

Only at this moment did Su Li really feel uncomfortable.

I always feel that Huan Ge'er is no longer my son now that he is gone. It makes me feel very sad.

Seeing Su Li sad, Huan Ge'er felt bad too.

But returning to his ancestral home has become an established fact, and he is not a child from an ordinary family, so he cannot always stay in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

He comforted:

"Mother, don't worry. No matter where I go, I am still your child, and the Duke Dingguo Mansion will always be my home. After entering the palace this time, although I can't come back to visit you every time, my heart is with you."

Brother Huan is becoming more and more humane now.

Su Li felt very comfortable with these words. She nodded repeatedly, pulled up his cloak and smoothed his hair.

Huan Ge'er has grown up and is almost as tall as her when standing next to her.

"Good boy, after entering the palace, remember to respect the Queen Mother as you would your parents. Although you are in the royal family, sometimes the Queen Mother has to think a little more, but you must remember that her love for you will never change."

"Got it, mother."

Brother Huan is smart. Even if Su Li and Pei Heng didn't tell him some things, he would have probably figured them out from the clues.

Before entering the palace, Su Li had to give him a few instructions.

"Also, if the Emperor says anything to you, you must think carefully before answering. Ask your heart what you want and what you don't want."

"Also, remember, no matter what decision you make, your parents will always be on your side. We will always support you."

"Yes! I've got it all in mind."

Huan Ge'er nodded seriously.

Pei Heng personally sent Huan Ge'er back to the palace. Su Li was restless at home and worried all day.

I always feel that I should go together, so that if anything happens, Pei Heng and I can discuss it.

Then he thought that he hadn't given enough instructions to Brother Huan.

In her heart, Huan Ge'er has always been a child, and she cannot accept the fact that he has grown up.

Pei Heng didn't come back until almost noon.

As soon as he entered the door, Su Li rushed over:

"What's going on? Have you said everything?"

Pei Heng's face was a little heavy, he hugged Su Li and said:

"Madam, besides the property in Lin'an, where else do you have property?"

"Why do you ask all this?"

Su Li was a little puzzled.

Pei Heng had never questioned her business empire. Why was he asking about it now? Was her business interfering with Huan Ge'er? Was the Emperor displeased?

At worst, we can just close them all.

Anyway, they have earned enough money. Not to mention her and Pei Heng, even Xi Jie'er and Pei Le, plus their children and grandchildren, will have more than enough to spend.

But what does it mean?

"That's what you said!"

Su Li was so anxious that she punched Pei Heng in the chest.

Pei Heng burst out laughing, kissed Su Li on her pouting lips, and said:

"Madam, when you sent my father south this morning, you just said that you would visit the properties when you have time. Now is your chance."

"I resigned."
