After marrying the heirless prince, I gave birth to three children

Zhao Ying naturally remembered that Xiao Ji did not have such a problem before.

So when she heard such gossip in the north, she thought that Xiao Ji just didn't want to take a concubine.

I didn't expect it to be true...

Tsk!

As soon as Xiao Ji and Xie Yao heard what Zhao Ying said, they understood the implied meaning.

Xiao Ji said, "It is God's will."

He was ill anyway.

Although it is only temporary at this stage, he has already planned that he will suffer from this disease for the rest of his life.

Zhao Ying knew very well that ascending the throne was the best choice, and after becoming emperor, Xiao Ji would inevitably be forced to do things against his will.

She had no ability to control the situation, but when she heard Xiao Ji's words, Zhao Ying still felt relieved.

Regardless of what the future holds, at least His Majesty's mind has not changed.

Just as Xie Yao and Xiao Ji expected.

Because of Hu Yanyuan's return, chaos broke out again in the northern border.

Although Hu Yanye killed all his brothers and nephews, leaving other people in the northern border with no other choice.

But the people of Northern Frontier are more wild than those of Xia Kingdom, and there are still many people who covet the throne of Northern Frontier.

In the past, Hu Yanye held military power and was the only heir. Even if others coveted it, they had no legitimate reason to do so.

Now Hu Yanyuan’s return has made up for this shortcoming.

As soon as Hu Yanyuan returned to the northern border, he had supporters behind him.

For many officials in the Northern Frontier, a hostage emperor who can be used as a puppet is naturally easier to control than an emperor with real power who holds military power.

The reason why Hu Yanye was able to stand out from so many people was that he took everyone by surprise. He was supposed to be in the northern border, but suddenly he returned to the capital.

Secondly, the other princes also had their own supporters, and they were already fighting each other to the point of bloodshed.

Now that Hu Yanye had just ascended the throne, he was eager to go to the northern border to start a war. He originally wanted to use military achievements to stabilize the government. Hu Yanyuan took this opportunity very cleverly.

With the intervention of Xiao Ji and Xie Yao, the civil unrest in the northern border will continue for a while.

Compared with the situation in Northern Xinjiang, what made Xie Yao happier was that Mr. Zhao's health had indeed improved because of Zhao Ying's arrival and company.

As the New Year approaches, Mr. Zhao spends more time awake every day.

Xie Yao went to see it again, and it was the end of the year.

Although this year is the first year of Xiao Ji's reign, it is still a period of national mourning, so although it is the New Year, the celebration is not too lively.

After the commendation, the court was adjourned on the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Xiao Ji finally had some free time.

Early in the morning, he hugged Xie Yao and didn't want to get up. He used to get up early every day, but now it was a cold winter day, and he felt extremely comfortable hugging Xie Yao in the warm bed.

Both of them are used to getting up early, so they naturally wake up early.

Xie Yao did remember, but at the moment she was being held tightly by Xiao Ji and could not break free.

"Yaoyao, let me hold you for a while longer." Xiao Ji said.

Xie Yao was helpless. She glanced at the clock and raised her eyebrows. Before she could say anything, a clear, baby-like voice could be heard from outside.

"Mother, mother!"

"Mother." Another voice sounded, and the child quickly changed his tone, "Mother!"

"Father!"

"..."

Zhao Zhao and Sui Sui started shouting outside, one calling "Father" and the other "Mother".

The two of them sang a great show, which was very lively.

Xiao Ji, who was hugging Xie Yao happily, was stunned. He turned his head slowly and looked at her stiffly and in disbelief, "This is..."

Xie Yao blinked and suppressed a smile, saying, "Your Majesty is attending the morning court, so he didn't know. Zhao Zhao comes every year at this time."

Xie Yao poked Xiao Ji's chest with her finger, "Your Majesty, please stand up."
