The Crown Princess is busy fishing

Chapter 176 An'an's Talent

Soon, Lin Yuge finished her postpartum confinement.

Only then did Xiao Yunqing stop constantly watching over her and begin to pay attention to the situation in Lingnan over the past few years.

Looking back, he had originally intended to resign from his post as the military governor of Lingnan before he was sent on his mission.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Qian Yuan refused, and instead spoke of the Lingnan region.

Today, matters concerning official salt, naval power, and border security are all interconnected, and it is truly difficult to entrust them to others.

Therefore, in recent years, the military and political affairs of Lingnan have been supervised by He Chongguang, who is also the father of his sister-in-law He Qingli.

He Chongguang lived up to expectations and governed Lingnan with great success.

Lingnan was peaceful and stable, and the people performed their duties and lived a smooth and peaceful life.

Commerce was booming, a scene of great prosperity.

Perhaps it was thanks to their efforts in opening up trade routes to Southeast Asian countries and vigorously eliminating the incursions of coastal pirates.

In the past year, many foreign ships have come.

In the past, it was rare to see foreign visitors at the Dawankou area.

Nowadays, you can often see those foreign faces with high noses, deep-set eyes, and strange clothes on the streets.

However, beneath this prosperity lie many hidden dangers.

With the sudden increase in foreign ships, the population became mixed.

It is inevitable that some people with ulterior motives will take the opportunity to spy on military affairs and defense deployments, or even try to disrupt the stability of Lingnan.

Xiao Yunqing summoned his generals, and the group devised a plan.

They were determined to strengthen city defenses and security checks, strictly guard port checkpoints, and carefully screen and inspect foreign visitors, leaving no suspicious detail unchecked.

On the other hand, they spread their informants far and wide, infiltrated the streets and alleys, and paid attention to all kinds of undercurrents and news, so as to nip any potential dangers in the bud.

With a strategy in place, everyone got to work.

Lin Yuge, on the other hand, lived a leisurely life raising children at home.

That day, Lin Yuge was lounging on a soft couch.

Blackie came back from outside, excitedly telling her about all the interesting and fun things happening in the city.

"My God!"

Suddenly, Granny Fang's exclamation came from the greenhouse at the back.

Lin Yuge's relaxed expression instantly tensed up.

Thinking of Qianxia and Granny Fang taking An'an to take a bath, could it be that something happened to An'an?

She was extremely anxious and hurriedly got up, knocking over the teacups on the small table next to her.

Ignoring the tea splashing and wetting her skirt, she ran straight to the bathroom.

With a creak, the half-closed door was pushed open, and the room was filled with steam, blurring the vision for a moment.

Upon seeing the scene before her, Lin Yuge felt her breath catch in her throat.

In the bathtub, An An's small body floated quietly on the water.

Her rosy cheeks still held a naive and innocent smile, and her limbs, as delicate as lotus roots, stretched out freely.

Not a single drop of water touched his body, as if he were being gently lifted by an invisible force.

Chika stood to the side, her hands tightly covering her mouth.

His wide-open eyes were filled with shock, and his body trembled slightly, but he managed to keep from losing his composure and shouting.

In contrast, Granny Fang's face was deathly pale, devoid of any color. Her usually kind and gentle face was now distorted and deformed.

Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, his lips trembled, and his eyes were filled with fear and unfamiliarity as he looked at An'an.

Lin Yuge's heart tightened.

She was stunned for a moment because she never expected that her special ability would be passed on to her son.

But she quickly came to her senses and stepped forward to gently lift An'an out of the bathtub.

The little one didn't seem to realize the panic of the crowd, and even giggled twice when he was picked up.

The little hands waved in the air, and the strange floating state without water around the body finally dissipated.

"Don't panic," Lin Yuge said softly, trying to calm the frightened Qianxia and Granny Fang.

His gaze was gentle as he looked at An'an, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Once she calmed down a bit, she knew she had to tell Xiao Yunqing about this as soon as possible so they could come up with a solution.

As soon as Xiao Yunqing returned to the manor, Lin Yuge dismissed everyone.

She pulled him to sit down inside, her expression solemn yet resolute.

"My lord, something strange happened when I bathed An'an today. He seemed to be supported by an invisible force, floating on the surface of the water without getting a drop of water on his body, just like..."

Just like you, my wife.

Before Lin Yuge could finish speaking, Xiao Yunqing softly replied, his gaze deep, as if lost in memories of the past.

"I saw you once, when you fainted in the sea, surrounded by some inexplicable force, and the seawater could not get close to you."

At the time, I was extremely anxious, only worried about your safety. Afterwards, I put the matter aside and didn't have time to find out what happened.

Lin Yuge nodded slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, followed by a wry smile:

"I thought I could keep it from you forever, but in the end, the truth can't be hidden forever."

Many years ago, I accidentally ate a mysterious bead, and since then I have had this ability.

Not only did I feel as free as a fish in the water, but the sea creatures were also very friendly towards me.

I thought I would have to bear both good and bad fortune alone, but who would have thought...

She looked down at An'an, who was laughing innocently in her arms, her heart filled with pity and helplessness.

Xiao Yunqing was taken aback at first, and then many past details came together in her mind.

No wonder my wife always managed to avoid the shoals and reefs and return with a full catch when she went out to sea.

The reason why they were able to escape unscathed from several storms and pirate attacks was because of this.

He tenderly pulled Lin Yuge into his arms and whispered:

"You've suffered, keeping this secret for so many years."

However, An'an's situation is currently thorny, and if this ability were to be revealed, it would surely attract covetousness and bring disaster.

Lin Yuge leaned on his shoulder and nodded in response:

“I know, so I told you without delay. An’an is still innocent and ignorant, how can she bear this?”

Xiao Yunqing gently patted her back, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"My lady, don't be anxious. Not many people know about this right now."

Chika was originally a bodyguard, and having followed you for so long, her loyalty goes without saying.

Granny Fang is a servant born into the Wang family, and her husband's sons both work in the household, so there shouldn't be any problem.

I will go and remind them later to keep their mouths shut and not let a word of it slip out.

I will also find a pretext to give a warning to the others in the household, to make them more aware.

Lin Yuge also turned around at this moment:

"That's right! An'an's abilities won't show unless she gets wet."

I will personally supervise his bath from now on.

Before he becomes old enough to understand, try to take him out as little as possible, and even if you do take him out, make sure he doesn't come into contact with untreated water.

Once he's old enough to understand, he should be able to control this ability on his own.

Xiao Yunqing nodded slightly, her gaze still grave.

"I hope so.

Just in case, I will assign a few bodyguards to be specifically responsible for An'an's safety.

With them secretly protecting An'an, even the slightest unusual movement can be dealt with immediately, ensuring no hidden dangers get close.

Looking at An'an sleeping soundly in her swaddling clothes beside her, Lin Yuge felt a little relieved:

"That's good. With them guarding me, I can feel more at ease."

Afterwards, Xiao Yunqing readjusted the guards in his mansion.

Those who knew about it refused to mention what happened that day.

Time flies, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

An'an is almost 100 days old, and the couple is preparing to hold a 100-day celebration for their son.

Lin Yuge was busy instructing the servants in the mansion to prepare the banquet hall.

Suddenly there was a commotion outside, and Lin Yuge thought something had happened.

When I went outside, I was immediately stunned.

"What? Don't you recognize us?" Xie Jingwan teased, seeing her daughter's expression of surprise and delight.
