We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

"The little guy is very naughty and kicks me every day."

"Sister Yan takes good care of me. Doctor Hua comes to check my pulse every day. It's his job at the medical camp..."

"I know you're doing the right thing. Overseas affairs are important, but the people of Chaoyang City also need you. You don't know that since the fleet left, the ministers haven't even had the mood to argue in the court every day. It's very dull."

Chang Ningxue chattered a lot, and Li Che just listened with a smile, nodding from time to time.

As a husband, I am indeed not qualified.

He was still running around while his wife was pregnant. If he dared to do this in the future, he would definitely be on the wanted list of "Little Red Book".

No, the fact that he had three women was enough to make the list of must-kills, even if this was in ancient times...

However, there was no way around it. As Fengguo's business grew bigger and bigger, a leisurely life seemed more and more like a luxury for Li Che.

Li Che has no possibility of becoming a model husband, so he can only make up for it to his woman in other ways.

Thinking of this, he took out a box from his clothes and gently placed it in Chang Ningxue's hand.

"For you."

Chang Ningxue opened it with joy. A pearl necklace shining with pearls lay quietly in the box. The whole necklace was made of huge pearls strung together and dotted with red and blue gems. It looked beautiful and luxurious.

This necklace was naturally a treasure that Li Che found in the admiral's mansion. Among them, three necklaces were the most precious. Li Che kept them without hesitation and gave them to his three women.

"Wow! So beautiful!"

Girls always like shiny things, and daughters of generals are no exception.

Chang Ningxue picked up the pearl necklace, handed it to Li Che, and said excitedly, "Help me put it on quickly."

Li Che patted her head lovingly and gently put the necklace on her snow-white neck.

This necklace, full of exotic charm, unexpectedly matches Chang Ningxue's temperament.

Yan, who was standing by, watched this scene silently, with a hint of envy in her eyes.

Li Che caught this scene and said, "I also brought you a string. I'll have it delivered to your room later."

Yan was slightly startled.

Her quiet nature prevented her from acting like a spoiled child like Chang Ningxue, but the look in her watery eyes when she looked at Li Che was almost tearing.

"I thank Your Highness."

Li Che nodded calmly, but he felt a little scared in his heart.

This woman is becoming more and more out of character. It looks like I'm not going to have a good time tonight...

At this moment, Chang Ningxue suddenly thought of something and exclaimed, "Oh, I forgot to tell His Highness!"

Li Che looked at her doubtfully.

But Chang Ningxue curled her lips and said, "Xian'er is pregnant too!"

Li Che was stunned on the spot.

"What?" Li Che came back to his senses, "Such a big thing, why didn't Qu Jinshan tell me?!"

Yan, who was standing by, also realized what was happening and began to explain, "Your Highness, please don't blame General Qu. This was my idea. Apart from the people in the palace and Mr. Hua, no one else knew about this."

"Why..." Li Che figured it out halfway through his words.

As a prince, the more offspring the better, but the prerequisite is that these offspring can survive.

The power struggle doesn’t care whether you are a child or not. Haven’t there been many princes who died in the womb since ancient times?

Song Renzong reigned for forty-two years and had three sons, all of whom died young.

In addition, Song Renzong had thirteen daughters, only five of whom survived, with an infant mortality rate as high as 81.25%!

Emperors like Song Renzong were not isolated cases. Jiajing had eight children, five of whom died, only three lived to the age of schooling, and two of them died not long after.

The death of so many sons led him to a life of alchemy and consumption, with a crane-like body and idle mode, and he even began to believe the nonsense that "Erlong doesn't want to see him".

The struggle for the throne often exposes the cruelest side of human beings. Chang Ningxue is pregnant with Li Che's eldest son, and this must be announced to rally people's hearts.

As for the child Xian'er was pregnant with, since he was neither the eldest nor the legitimate child, there was no need to announce it.

Instead of exposing it, it is better to keep it secret and let the child be born safely.

Although Chaoyang City is safe, it is only relatively safe. Li Che has been assassinated in the city before, especially now that the situation in the court is becoming more and more complicated.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket. If something happens to the eldest son, Feng State will not be in turmoil with the existence of this child.

Li Che glanced at Yan approvingly: "Not bad, you did the right thing."

Yan bowed slightly, neither anxious nor impatient.

Having experienced the struggles in the Goryeo harem, she naturally has her own way of survival.

Not getting involved in political affairs, not fighting or getting jealous with Li Che's other women, and thinking about Li Che wholeheartedly are the foundation of her life.

After learning that Xian'er was also pregnant, Li Che was obviously a little restless.

Although his body was still here, his mind had long since drifted away. When faced with the two women's questions, his answers were vague.

Chang Ningxue saw what he was thinking and said with a smile, "Alright, Your Highness has other things on his mind, so go and deal with them quickly."

"This..." Li Che stood up with a fake smile, "Then I will come back to see you in the evening."

"Why did you come to see me? Doctor Hua said that I can't do anything right now." Chang Ningxue rolled her eyes at him. "Xian'er is in the same situation. You should go to Sister Yan."

Li Che subconsciously glanced at Yan, and the woman actually lowered her head shyly. The shy contrast in her look shocked Li Che and little Li Che at the same time.

After comforting the two women a few more words, Li Che hurried out of the backyard.

Turning the corner, he saw Li Lin holding a dry grass root in his mouth, leaning against Xiaotuan and looking at the ant nest on the ground with relish.

His hands were still on his crotch, as if he was eager to pee...

Li Che twitched his lips. Compared to the heroic border prince a year ago, Li Lin now looked like an idle street urchin.

The bandit-like aura that comes from him is really like the saying "birds of a feather flock together". We don't even know who he learned it from!

Seeing Li Che hurriedly approaching, Li Lin quickly stood up and said jokingly, "It's done already, that's a bit fast!"

"What are you thinking about!" Li Che glared at him and walked towards another yard.

Li Lin quickly caught up with him and asked in confusion, "Where are you going? Aren't we supposed to be at the government office to take care of business?"

"There's another one!" Li Che said excitedly, "Hahaha! I won that one too, I'm a father again!"

Li Lin was stunned on the spot.

No... Lao Liu is a sharpshooter! Is he so accurate?

Ever since Xian'er was left in the imperial capital by his father, both he and the princess have tried dozens of times, but there has been no progress so far.

Lao Liu only took a few days to come up with two?!

. . . . . .

"two?!"

Li Che held Xian'er's hand and looked at Hua Chang'an in front of him, his face full of surprise.

"That's right." Hua Chang'an bowed and said, "The princess had just shown signs of pregnancy, but her pulse was unstable. I couldn't be sure, so I didn't tell her and the others."

"And now, three months have passed, and the pulse has stabilized. I can't be wrong. Congratulations, Your Highness!"

Li Che laughed heartily, wishing he could give the old imperial physician with white hair and a youthful face two punches.

Xian'er is not only pregnant, but she is pregnant with twins!

This gave him a huge boost of confidence. It seemed that not only was he fertile, but his ability was also quite strong?!

The lineage of Prince Feng continues to have descendants, which is a great joy!

In ancient times, one did not have to be wise or good at fighting to leave a name in history; sometimes being able to give birth was also a means to do so.

Haven’t you seen that the wine-loving Prince Jing of Zhongshan, who achieved far greater fame than other princes simply because he was able to have children and had an SSR Liu Da’er among his offspring?

Li Lin standing by was already numb.

He no longer wanted to compare himself with the sixth brother. He could only say that the sixth brother was destined to have many children and grandchildren.

This is no longer cheating, it's just that it's never turned off. How can you play this game?

Li Che looked at Xian'er beside him with affection and asked gently, "Is there anything wrong with Xian'er?"

Yelu Xian shook his head and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Your Highness. Xian'er is fine."

"You can't be careless. After all, you are pregnant with two children."

Li Che lowered his head to glance at Xian'er's belly. He could only say that she was worthy of being twins. She was already very obviously pregnant after just over three months. Her belly was much bigger than Chang Ningxue's when he left.

Although he himself was not pregnant, he knew that it would be uncomfortable to do anything with such a big belly.

Seeing Li Che's worry, Hua Chang'an quickly said, "Your Highness, don't worry. The princess is in good health. The pregnancy won't have much of an impact on her. You don't need to worry too much."

After hearing Hua Changan's words, Li Che finally felt relieved.

In fact, Chang Ningxue and Xian'er are both in good health. One is the daughter of a general and the other is of Khitan descent. They are much healthier than those women who never leave their homes.

This is a good thing. Li Che himself is strong and healthy, and the child born from two healthy people will not be too bad.

The emperors of the Tang and Ming dynasties all had genetic diseases, and it is highly unlikely that this would happen to the lineage of Prince Feng.

After sending Hua Chang'an away, Li Che stayed with Xian'er for a while before heading towards the government office with Li Lin.

Xian'er is very sensible, even a little naive.

This Khitan princess had no temper at all and had never been jealous. She was just a little clingy, but Li Che actually liked being with her the most.

Unfortunately, her identity was too special, and the two children in her womb would definitely not have the possibility of inheriting the throne in the future.

Fortunately, the future of Feng State has unlimited possibilities. Even if only one person can inherit the throne, Li Che can still let other children live a good life.

Fengguo's scientific research atmosphere is enough for children who want to pursue science to become scholars; its own martial virtues are abundant enough for children who want to join the army to become good generals; there are also large tracts of land overseas, enough for children who want to be king to become king.

Even if someone likes to be an explorer and challenge himself, Li Che can open up the Siberian ice field and send him to the North Pole!

Compared to Xian'er, the three cabinet ministers Zhuge Zhe, Huo Duanxiao and Tao Qian, who had just received the news of King Feng's return and arrived late, seemed like three resentful women.
