Shen Changning felt so distressed when he saw him crying like this, and hurriedly picked up Zhier and patted him to comfort him.

"Don't cry, Zhi'er. How could the emperor's uncle not want you?"

He looked at Shen Changle and Jiang Ci'an in embarrassment, and when he saw them smile and nod, he continued talking while holding Zhi'er.

"The emperor's uncle doesn't dislike Zhi'er. As long as you are willing, Qi Palace is your home and you can go back anytime."

Hearing this, Shen Zhi raised his wet eyelashes, grabbed his clothes and cried.

"Then can I go back to Qi with my uncle now?"

Shen Changning looked at Shen Changle and the others again, and still felt... something was wrong.

Seeing him like this, Shen Zhi jumped out of his arms, turned around and ran to Shen Changle and Jiang Ci'an, bowing to them.

"The kindness of my father, the emperor, and my mother, the empress, is profound, and I have no way of repaying them.

But my father, mother, and brother are by my side, but my uncle and grandfather have nothing. Zhier wants to accompany them and take care of them in my mother's place...

Mother, can Zhier accompany my uncle back to Qi?"

Shen Changle felt a little distressed when he saw little Shen Zhi's nervous look.

She squatted down, held the little guy's shoulders, and nodded gently.

"Zhi'er is right. Queen Mother cannot be with the Imperial Uncle and Grandfather. Zhi'er will take good care of them for Queen Mother. This way, I can be considered filial to her."

Little Shen Zhi's eyes lit up.

"Then the Queen Mother means... that she has agreed to let Zhier return to Qi?"

"Ah."

He looked at Jiang Ci'an again inquiringly, and Jiang Ci'an nodded.

"Go ahead, but remember, Anguo will always be your home, and your mother and I will always love you deeply."

"Thank you, Father, and thank you, Mother!"

Shen Zhi leaned forward repeatedly, and was supported by Shen Changle and Jiang Ci'an. Then he turned around and ran towards Shen Changning, whose eyes were blurred with tears.

She jumped up and down happily, "Uncle, my father and mother have given us permission. I can accompany you back to Qi State. I can provide for you and my grandfather in their old age!"

Shen Changning was so moved that he touched Shen Zhi's little head and held him in his arms again.

Shen Changle and Jiang Ci'an saw Shen Changning and Shen Zhi off, and took Jiang Hui back with them.

Seeing Shen Changle unable to conceal her sadness at the separation, Xiao Jiang Hui stood up, held Shen Changle's hand, and comforted her: "Don't be sad, mother. We will see each other again."

Seeing this, Jiang Ci'an was also relieved and hugged Shen Changle to comfort her: "Yes, Changle, look at what Hui'er said, don't be sad anymore."

Shen Changle nodded, still silent.

"I promise you, Changle, by the end of next year at the latest, I will take you back to Qi to visit your royal brother and uncle. Is that okay?"

Jiang Ci'an held her in his arms lovingly, feeling guilty.

"It's all my fault. Otherwise, Changle wouldn't have married far away from home..."

Hearing him say this, Shen Changle finally shook his head and regained some spirit.

"I'm fine, Ci'an, this is not your fault. You were also trying to help Qi..."

Seeing that the two of them quickly returned to their former closeness, Xiao Jianghui felt a little lonely.

in fact……

Although he was a little worried that his younger brother would share the favor, he later felt that it was also good to have a little tail.

I don't know if I'll have the chance to see him again...

When Shen Changle saw him staring out the car window in a daze, he knew that he was also missing his brother.

Sitting up straight in Jiang Ci'an's arms, she sent him out.

"Ci'an, I want to eat the lotus cake from Taiye Tower. Can you send someone to buy one for me?"

Jiang Ci'an blinked in surprise and nodded sensibly.

"I'll go right away."

After driving Jiang Ci'an out, Shen Changle took little Jiang Hui into his arms.

"Hui'er, are you thinking about your brother?"

"Well... a little."

"Then... do you want your mother to give birth to a younger sister?"

younger sister?

His eyes lit up. Is this the sister who can act coquettishly with him without making him feel uncomfortable?

He nodded repeatedly, but then felt lost.

"But... Father won't agree."

He had heard his father say more than once that he would not let his mother give birth to a baby anymore...

Shen Changle was not surprised at all, and tapped his little nose as if it was planned.

"Whether or not you give birth to a sister is not up to your father!"

She narrowed her eyes and smiled slyly.

Xiao Jianghui was also moved by her and began to look forward to it!

really……

Three months later, An Palace was in chaos!

When Jiang Ci'an heard that Shen Changle was pregnant, he was shocked and summoned everyone from the Imperial Hospital into the bedroom.

Without even putting on the golden crown, he angrily demanded, "What the hell is going on? I've been taking medication the entire time! What kind of medicine did your Imperial Hospital prescribe for me? Do you still want to continue? How could such a huge mistake happen?!"

The imperial doctors were silent as a mouse, all kneeling on the ground trembling.

When Shen Changle heard that he was angry, he walked out of the inner hall with the support of Xuanque.

"I was the one who asked them to replace the medicine. If Your Majesty wants to blame someone, blame me."

Your Majesty... Your Majesty?

Jiang Ci'an shuddered for no reason and quickly raised his hand to dismiss his attendants.

He knelt in front of her and coaxed her: "Don't be angry, Changle, I'm just, just worried about your health..."

However, Shen Changle withdrew her hand sullenly and pretended to be depressed.

"If Your Majesty does not want this child, then I will take her back to Qi."

Hearing this, Jiang Ci'an's legs went weak and he knelt on the ground.

"Why should I go back to Qi? I want to! Why wouldn't I want to? Changle, don't do this. Don't scare me..."

Shen Changle looked at him kneeling on the ground with a look of panic in his eyes, and finally stopped being angry with him.

She pulled him up from the ground and scolded him, "If you wanted it, why did you keep using contraceptives and sperm-killing pills?"

"I...I don't want Changle to suffer the pain of childbirth again..."

"What if you don't want this child?"

Hearing this, Jiang Ci'an nodded like pecking at rice.

"Yes, yes, yes! As long as Changle wants it, I will raise as many children as he wants."

"Humph……"

Shen Changle snorted in mock anger, and with the help of Jiang Ci'an, she stood up and took care of the baby.

Ten months later, the beautiful baby girl was born.

She is Hui'er's younger sister, and the only precious princess of Da'an and Daqi...

Jiang Ci'an really couldn't make up his mind, so he waited until the baby princess was one month old before taking the mother and daughter back to Qi to name her with Shen Changning.

Finally, Shen Tingyu decided to name it "Jiang Le".

In the following decades, as the only daughter of the royal families of Anguo and Qi, little Jiangle received infinite favor and love from the emperors and subjects of the two countries.

But such a prominent figure often disappears without a trace, making it impossible to catch his shadow.

An insider said...

This little princess, who is the focus of attention of four countries, particularly loves rural life.

Therefore, his father Emperor An passed the throne to his elder brother Jiang Hui early on;

The uncle, Emperor Qi, also defied all odds and passed the throne to the little princess's second brother, Shen Zhi;

The whole family lived in seclusion in a small rural town in Qi State, leading a leisurely life.

Although he was a free and easy person, he was still in chaos.

It is said that there were always some short-sighted people who wanted to take advantage of the love that the emperors of the two countries had for the little princess and seek official positions by taking radical measures.

To this end, the two previous emperors of Qi and An, plus an incumbent regent, took turns to stand guard.

I'm afraid that my little princess will be deceived by some wretched yellow-haired guy...

The two current emperors are even more resourceful!

They simply filled the empty yards in the village with their people!

Outsiders from outside the town, don’t even think about getting close to Hulu Village!

Whenever they have some free time, the two brothers would make an appointment to go to that village and sit for a while.

Thanks to the village intelligence station, they unexpectedly learned...

It turns out that when my father and mother were young, they lived in seclusion in this village for a period of time.

It seems that the famous Emperor An was conceived in this village!

Oh open!

No wonder the goddess statue standing at the entrance of the village looks so much like their mother...

Jiang Hui and Shen Zhi stood in front of the statue, squinting their eyes and sighing.

"Father really does what he says. I really admire him."

"Huh? What do you say?"

Jiang Hui sighed and shook his head.

"As the ruler of a country, I can live with my beloved until old age, loving only one person... I'm afraid I can't do it."

Shen Zhi raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction.

"What's so difficult about loving only one person? The Emperor's uncle and grandfather are the truly powerful ones—"

They fought and quarreled all their lives, yet they remained together and supported each other, and neither of them married. This is truly remarkable!"

Jiang Hui followed his gaze towards the two people arguing on the chessboard and chuckled.

They both understand everything!

What happens in the tent is not something that can be told to outsiders...

I only hope that each of them can be like Shen Changning and Shen Tingyu, stick to themselves, never forget their original aspirations, never regret their lives, and make their journey worthwhile.

Only then can you live a peaceful and happy life...
