At this time, Qiuyu came running over in a hurry, "Princess, the two young masters have woken up. Seeing that they were in an unfamiliar place and didn't see you and the prince, they immediately started crying non-stop."

Shangguan Yunting quickly said, "I'll go and comfort the child, and you can chat with grandma and grandpa."

After saying that, he hurried towards the backyard. Grandma said worriedly, "Xiaorou, go check on the children quickly. They must be scared after just returning to a strange place. I hope they don't get scared."

"Before, on the island, the prince always took care of the two children."

Everyone in the Shen family was shocked and asked, "Your Majesty, can a grown man take care of two children?"

"He is more attentive and capable of taking care of children than I am."

Xiaorou, you have found the best man in Daqi. I never thought that the prince could fight in the battlefield, take care of two children, and care about you in his heart. This is the blessing you have cultivated in your previous life."

Shen Rou smiled and said nothing. She was an older single woman in modern times, but she traveled through time to ancient times and found an all-round husband. God was kind to her.

Shen Xue glanced at Shangguan Rui who was sitting opposite her. They looked into each other's eyes and smiled slightly, but there was a hint of sadness in Shen Xue's eyes.

Shangguan Yunting came to the room and saw his eldest son wiping his younger brother's tears while looking at Chunyan warily, and his youngest son's face was red from crying.

Chunyan stood aside, at a loss. Seeing Shangguan Yunting coming, she immediately saw hope. "Your Highness, the little master starts crying as soon as I get close to the bed. I can only stand by."

"It's a little scary that they don't know you."

The eldest brother, Shangguan Yan, loudly demanded, "Father, where did you and Mother go? Where is this place? Why didn't we see you and Mother when we woke up? My younger brother was terrified."

He walked over with heartache, held them in his arms, and whispered, "Yan'er, Qing'er, don't be afraid. This is the Princess's Mansion, your mother's home. When we came back, you fell asleep and talked to your great-grandmother for a while. I didn't expect you to wake up so soon."

Shangguan Yunting gently patted Shangguan Qing's back, "Qing'er, don't cry. Father will take you to see Mother and Great Grandmother, okay?"

Shangguan Qing gradually stopped crying. Shangguan Yunting skillfully put on outer robes for them and walked to the main hall with the two children in his arms.

Arriving at the main hall, the Shen family couple looked at the two children with kind smiles. Shangguan Yunting quickly introduced the two children: "Yan'er, Qing'er, this is your great-grandmother and great-grandfather."

The two children bowed politely, "Yan'er greets great-grandmother and great-grandfather. Qing'er greets great-grandmother and great-grandfather."

Mr. and Mrs. Shen quickly squatted down and held their little hands, "Yan'er, Qing'er, you are so good. Let your great-grandmother hold you, okay?"

They turned to look at Shen Rou, who nodded slightly. The two children said in baby voices, "Grandma, give me a hug."

Grandma took out two gold locks from her bosom and put them on them. "My great-grandchildren are so good. This is a gift from your great-grandmother. Do you like it?"

They said in unison: "Thank you, great-grandmother, we love it."

Shen Rou also introduced her eldest uncle's family and second uncle's family, and each of them gave gifts to the two children.

Shangguan Rui gave her a jade pendant.

Shen Xue gave each person a pair of gold bracelets and a mink cloak, which she made herself by staying up late.

Shen Nan gave two exquisite rattles and sugar figures. The two little guys were very happy. They laughed while eating, making crisp crunching sounds.

"Uncle, this candy man is so sweet."

"Uncle will buy some for you guys next time, okay?"

"it is good."

Grandma smiled and said, "Xiao Nan's gift is still the most popular among the two children."

"Grandma, because I like eating candy figures too, so I know they will like it."

Shen Xue and Shen Nan carried the two children to the yard and played with them, then they used their lightness skills to jump up while holding them, making them giggle.

"Now Yan'er and Qing'er have someone to play with."

"Yeah! We can take it easy too."

Seeing Shen Rou's exhausted face, grandma quickly told her to go back and rest. Shen Rou was indeed tired. She looked at Shangguan Yunting and said, "Your Highness, please stay with grandma and grandpa and talk. I'll go back and rest for a while."

"Chunyan, Qiuxin, help the princess go back and rest."

"The slaves obey."

Shangguan Rui asked curiously, "Uncle Jiu, how did you and Aunt Huang survive the dangerous situation in the turbulent deep sea?"

The Shen family was also curious, and they turned their eyes to Shangguan Yunting.

Shangguan Yunting recalled: "Our ship was chasing the fleeing pirate leader, who deliberately led us to a whirlpool. By the time we saw the whirlpool, it was too late to turn the ship around, and the powerful suction gradually dragged the ship towards the center of the whirlpool."

"Everyone jumped off the boat to escape. I held Xiaorou tightly and we jumped into the deep sea together. Unexpectedly, we were sucked into a whirlpool by the powerful suction force. We struggled to hold on to the boat in the whirlpool. When we woke up, we were floating on the sea holding a piece of wood from the fishing boat. I don't know how long it took before a huge wave hit us on the beach. We have lived on an isolated island ever since."

"This isolated island is where the pirates lived back then. There are food crops, vegetable gardens, fruit trees, and seafood all on the island. We have no problem with food, clothing, shelter, or transportation."

Shangguan Yunting told half of the story and concealed the other half. He deleted the part where Shen Rou had space, and the rest was true.

"It's a good thing you drifted to an island inhabited by pirates. If you were on a deserted island, it would be difficult for you to survive."

"Yes! We were lucky, or unlucky, if we had seen the island earlier, we might have run into Captain Lin and his men coming to the island to arrest people. But when we got there, we found that the island was deserted, with only the necessities of life left behind."

Everyone listened to Shangguan Yunting's story and couldn't help but sigh, and were glad that they were able to escape.
