Although Jingxue was busy in the days that followed, she kept thinking about news from Nanzhao. Lan Yuan had once said that she would send her messages by carrier pigeon, but she never received one.

Before they knew it, it was early May. In the past few days, Jingxue had bought a shop on North Street, which she planned to give to Li Qianqian as part of her wedding. The shop mainly sold some pastries, and of course, many of the varieties were brought over from the modern world by Jingxue.

The academy has been completed in the past month or so, and the children have all started school. Jingxue also sent Runyue to the academy. The vermicelli and dried tofu produced in the workshop have begun to be transported to other places, and Jingxue entrusted them to Steward Yuan and the others with peace of mind.

Ye Muchen has been very busy lately, but he comes home for dinner every day. I don't know why he didn't come home today. Jingxue feels that her relationship with Ye Muchen is sometimes like that of an old married couple, and they have reached a very tacit understanding. But, do you think he has any other thoughts?

Anyway, she doesn't have it, but I don't know if Ye Muchen does?

At the hour of Xu (7-9 PM), Jingxue finished her bath and prepared to rest when Ye Muchen arrived.

It was obvious that he had already taken a bath. Jingxue wondered, what was this guy doing here at this hour?

"I just came back from the palace. I sweated a lot today, so I took a bath before coming over!" Ye Muchen's eyes flickered as he looked at Jingxue, who had long hair.

"Oh! You haven't had dinner yet, have you? I'll have the maid heat up your food!" Jingxue said, heading to call Xiaoman.

"No need, Xue'er, I had some good news for you when I came!"

Jingxue chuckled, "What good news? Did you need to bathe and change before telling me?"

"Xue'er, His Majesty received an urgent report from Prince Jin today. Your uncle, Li Jun, helped the Kingdom of Nanyu repel the invasion of the barbarians. The barbarians have submitted their surrender and promised never to invade again! His Majesty is very pleased and said that he will issue an edict tomorrow to fulfill his promise and release your father-in-law and mother-in-law!"

Jingxue's mind went blank for a moment, then she suddenly jumped onto Ye Muchen, hugged his neck, and burst into tears. She had waited too long for this moment.

Tears streamed down her face as Ye Muchen supported her with one hand and gently patted her back with the other.

"Xue'er, cry! You've been holding it in for too long. I know how wronged you feel. You've sacrificed so much to save them!"

Jingxue didn't know how long she cried, nor how she was kissed by Ye Muchen. Then, something indescribable happened. She wasn't prepared for any of it, but it all happened so naturally and smoothly!

Five years later

War Prince's Mansion

As soon as Jingxue stepped into the mansion, she saw a little dumpling dart from one tree to another and disappear. Without asking, she knew who it was!

That's her and Ye Muchen's son, Ye Fei, nicknamed "Ao Ao". The little guy is three years old this year. He can talk at nine months and run at ten months. Yes, he can run. He can't walk step by step yet. After that, he can fly.

Inside the manor, the guards dared not arrest him; only Ye Muchen and Jingxue were able to catch him, truly living up to Jingxue's words, "arrest him with great fanfare."

Over the past five years, Beiye has undergone tremendous changes, with all sectors of the industry flourishing.

Jingxue's business has expanded to Nanzhao and Cangbei, Lan Yuan has ascended the throne as Empress, and her uncle Li Jun has become the Emperor's consort. I heard that An'an and Yingying have another younger sister.

The court in Beiye also underwent changes. First, Wang Hansheng and Hu Yucheng were investigated and dismissed from their posts and punished according to the law. Then, Prime Minister Zou contracted a strange disease, similar to a stroke or osteomalacia, and was paralyzed. He saw many famous doctors but could not be cured, so the emperor dismissed him from his post.

Lu Zijing passed the imperial examination with top honors the following year and became the youngest prime minister of Beiye last year. Li Huan was also promoted to Minister of Revenue.

Jing Zhiyuan was reinstated to his original post as the Prince of Zhenbei, and the Northern Night court is now filled with integrity and righteousness.

Here we'll focus on Qin Jing. But the most successful one has to be Li Qianqian; her first pregnancy resulted in twin sons! Isn't the Qin family supposed to be a single-son family? Wow, she gave birth to two chubby little boys all at once!

On the day Li Qianqian gave birth, Qin Jing was so anxious outside that he almost climbed onto the roof.

Jingxue, who was delivering the baby inside, was so angry that Ye Muchen and Ye Musi gagged him as soon as he came out. Otherwise, he would have been shouting even louder than Li Qianqian. Perhaps because they were relieved of the pressure after having a son, Li Qianqian and Qin Jing had another baby girl in the third year.

At that time, Jingxue had just given birth to Yefei, and she was so envious! She wanted a cute little girl, but unfortunately, things didn't go as planned!

Ye Muchen told her that she would have a daughter and not to worry. He wanted to have many, many children to keep Jingxue tied down, otherwise he was always afraid that Jingxue would fly away.

Because Jingxue said that she didn't expect him to be extremely loyal, but if he ever wanted to marry someone else, it would be when they divorced, no matter how old they were at that time.

Ye Muchen was furious at the time. He just couldn't understand how Jingxue could be so easygoing. So he channeled all his anger into having a baby.

They consummated their marriage even earlier than Qin Jing got married, but Qin Jing had already had children while Jing Xue was still not pregnant. He was really anxious at that time, and the more anxious he was, the more people would try to sabotage him. Ye Musi's daughter was also half a year older than Ye Fei. Can you believe it?

Fortunately, his hard work paid off, and he finally got a naughty boy.

This kid is really naughty!

In the Prince's mansion, basically only the people were breathing; even the horses had been charmed by him.

This child was born with an eye for medicinal herbs. He would secretly take Jingxue's herbs to play with whenever he had free time. Later, Jingxue hid all the herbs, so the child took them from his imperial grandfather, because his imperial grandfather liked him the most.

After a few days of absence, they sent someone to bring him into the palace. He disrupted the eldest prince's studies. The second prince, born to Consort De, was not afraid of anyone except Ye Fei, the young master of the Zhan Prince's mansion, because Ye Fei once caught a large snake with his bare hands in front of the second prince and even broke off the snake's teeth.

"Aww, you get down here right now!" Jingxue's voice had become quite loud over the years, carrying for a long distance!

Ye Muchen and Gao Chi heard this as soon as they entered. Gao Chi laughed and said, "Your Highness, the Princess Consort is roaring like a lioness again!"

Ye Muchen rolled his eyes at him, "You're just following that brat Ye Fei's example! Do you dare say that in front of the Princess?"

Gao Chi shook his head, "This subordinate dares not!"

Ye Muchen had to hurry and help his son out of the predicament, otherwise the boy would get a spanking, and in the end, he would have to step in to mediate. This was the daily routine of their Zhanwang Mansion.
