Until one day, as five smart sons and a lovely and clever daughter appeared in front of the public one after another, and three of the little heirs looked very similar to their father, the outside world's discussion about the authenticity of the royal bloodline finally subsided.

The prince moved into the Eastern Palace at the age of seven and became the new master there.

From then on, this little boy shouldered the heavy responsibility of the country's future.

His elder sister, the eldest princess, cried and insisted on going with him, as if she could not bear to be separated from her brother.

After all, the children are still young, and Shen Muxue is worried about them being alone in a strange place.

In addition to these four babies, members of the Song family also moved into the East Palace, including the children from Uncle Song's family.

These children also became subjects of the Eastern Palace.

At first, Uncle Song felt very embarrassed about this arrangement and tried to refuse.

"We are merchants after all," Uncle Song said worriedly. "If we hang around the Crown Prince all day, I'm afraid we'll be laughed at by others. It won't be good for our reputation and will also cause trouble for the Queen and the Crown Prince."

However, whenever my grandmother saw her elderly mother with white hair still working hard for her children, the unspeakable feelings in her heart prevented her from retreating because of the comments of outsiders.

This deep family affection transcends all external factors.

So, despite various concerns, Shen Muxue still insisted on letting Uncle Song and his family live in the palace to accompany and support the children as they grew up.

"Uncle, you may not know how tight the national treasury is right now, right?"

Shen Muxue looked at the elder in front of her with an almost pleading look, "I must find a reliable financial supporter for the prince as soon as possible. Otherwise, when he grows up and really takes charge of the entire country, he may have to go to Wenzhou in person to ask you for help to solve his financial problems."

Faced with such a request, after some hesitation, considering the delicate balance between family responsibility and personal feelings, Uncle Song finally had no choice but to nod and agree, leading the whole family to move into the East Palace to start a new life, and participate in the daily work of caring for the next generation.

Since moving in, the Song family has generously provided financial assistance to the imperial palace almost every year. This behavior quickly won the recognition and admiration of officials and the public.

Nowadays, people from all walks of life have become accustomed to respectfully calling this person, who was once limited to his identity as a businessman, a "good man", and no longer belittle or question him because of his past business activities.

But on the other hand, as the queen's cousin and good friend, Shen Muxue is always concerned about the future development of the Su family.

In particular, there are concerns that long-term unlimited funding may lead to a situation where the family will have difficulty paying basic expenses one day in the future.

"Uncle, if you continue to donate your property at the current rate, I'm afraid that by the time your grandson gets around, he won't have enough money to marry."

After hearing this, Uncle Song pondered for a moment, then responded firmly, "Your Majesty, you have entrusted us with such an important responsibility. My nephews have no intention of inheriting the family business and have chosen official positions instead. It is indeed unsuitable for a relative like us, a stranger, to control such wealth. Especially in our current special position, we must know when to stop."

At this moment, the old mother, who had been quietly listening to all this conversation, joined in and gave her affirmative opinion: "Don't listen to those unfounded worries. If there really is a problem of not having money for a wedding in the future, at worst you can ask His Majesty to grant the marriage!"

She used a relaxed and humorous attitude to dispel the heavy atmosphere that might have been caused by discussing future uncertainties.

With family members around her and children around her, this kind of life makes Shen Muxue feel like a dream.

She could feel this warmth and peace every day, which made her feel very happy, but also often made her feel unreal.

"Your Majesty, I always feel it's unreal that I've been with you all my life."

She lowered her head slightly, with a hint of doubt and tenderness in her eyes.

The emperor was stunned after hearing this, and a complex bitterness flashed in his eyes.

"Two years ago, I also had a dream. I dreamed that you married Wei Zixian, and I was left alone from then on."

He spoke slowly, his tone revealing a deep helplessness and loneliness.

Shen Muxue widened her eyes in surprise, unable to believe her ears. Could it be that the emperor really remembered things from his previous life?

This sudden speculation made her feel uneasy.

"Don't be afraid, Xue'er, it's just a dream."

Seeing this, the emperor quickly stroked her shoulder and comforted her softly.

"I have sent people to search everywhere for the traces of the immortal. I will definitely find the fate of reincarnation, so that we will never be separated in this life."

His tone was firm, as if he was promising her a lifetime of companionship.

When Shen Muxue heard this, she couldn't help but burst into tears and cried until she was out of breath.

She never thought that this man who usually seemed cold and ruthless actually loved her so deeply. This deep affection made her feel warm in her heart.

The emperor walked out of the palace quietly and looked at the four children standing outside with a stern face.

These children are innocent and are looking at their father expectantly.

"Father, it's time for dinner. My brothers and sisters asked us to invite you and mother to come with us."

One of the children said obediently.

"Let's go."

The emperor nodded and answered briefly.

The children looked at their mother who was still inside and asked in confusion, "Aren't you going, mother?"

"She's already eaten."

The emperor replied calmly.

……

[Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for successfully completing the mission. The challenges in the next world will be even more difficult!] Suddenly, a system notification sounded in my ears, the sound crisp and pleasant.

"How do I increase the difficulty?"

Shen Muxue asked cautiously, afraid of missing any important information.

"That is, you can't get pregnant directly in this world. You need to capture the person whose favorability towards you reaches 60 or above." The system explained, sounding like there were a few more rules and restrictions.

"Does that mean I have to make that person fall in love with me first?"

Shen Muxue thought about it. Although this made her feel a little pressured, she was still quite confident in herself.

The system replied: [Host, you are right. Host, you can definitely do it.] Its tone was full of trust in the host.

"Who is the target of the attack?"

Shen Muxue asked, her heart filled with curiosity and nervousness.

[He was a very self-disciplined emperor with few desires. To put it simply, he was like a monk.]

The system's answer made Shen Muxue frown. This didn't seem to be an easy task.

Shen Muxue had a good idea in her mind. He was just a fake monk. Even if he was a real monk, she would have a way to deal with him. After all, her past successful experiences made her more confident.

"As the difficulty increases, will my items also increase?"

As soon as he finished saying this, the mall opened automatically.
