During the 100-day celebration, the Xiao residence was brightly decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and guests gathered in large numbers, creating a lively and festive scene.

"His Royal Highness is here!"

"The second prince has arrived!"

The servant at the gate shouted announcing the arrival, his voice cutting through the bustling crowd and reaching the inner courtyard of the Xiao residence.

Upon hearing the announcement, Xiao Shen and Ji Xiaosong, who were greeting guests, walked forward at a leisurely pace.

Ji Xiaosong lagged slightly behind Xiao Shen, her posture dignified, a polite smile on her face.

"Welcome Your Highness the Crown Prince and the Second Prince. Your presence is an honor to my humble abode."

Xiao Shen bowed with his hands clasped in greeting, a gesture of courtesy he always performed flawlessly.

The Crown Prince smiled slightly and said, "General Xiao, you are too kind. Today is the hundredth day celebration for your sons, and I naturally have come to offer my congratulations."

Before the Crown Prince could continue, the Second Prince suddenly turned his gaze to Ji Xiaosong, raised his head high, and asked with a hint of arrogance, "I heard that Madam Xiao has given birth to four sons this time. I wonder if these children are all healthy?"

Ji Xiaosong bowed slightly and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Your Highness, the children are all well. Thank you for your concern."

"Since today is the 100-day celebration for the four young masters of the General's Mansion, then lead this prince to take a look."

His purpose today was precisely this; he didn't believe what others said, and he wanted to see for himself whether Ji Xiaosong really had four children.

If it's true, then he...

"Second Prince, the children are currently being cared for by their wet nurses inside the house. They will be brought out for all the distinguished guests to see later, when the banquet is halfway through."

Xiao Shen took two steps forward, subtly shielding Ji Xiaosong behind him.

His large frame instantly concealed Ji Xiaosong completely, preventing the Second Prince from seeing him at all.

"Heh, we'll see sooner or later. Is my status as the Second Prince not enough to warrant special treatment from your Xiao family?"

"Second brother, you are utterly insolent!"

The crown prince's expression changed drastically, and he angrily rebuked him.

He, the crown prince, hasn't even spoken yet. He's just a prince who's never had a chance to ascend the throne in his life. What's there for him to be so assertive about?

"Since General Xiao has already stated that he will bring the children out to meet us later, are you forcing us like this to make everyone think that you, as a prince, are acting recklessly and disregarding the dignity of the Xiao family? I haven't even given the order yet, and you're already so impatient. What kind of behavior is this!"

The second prince snorted coldly. Although he was unwilling, he dared not disobey the crown prince and could only say sullenly, "Yes, Crown Prince is right to teach me a lesson."

Xiao Shen and Ji Xiaosong quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for your magnanimity, Your Highness."

The Crown Prince waved his hand slightly: "It's alright, please take your seats first, and don't let such a trivial matter spoil your enjoyment."

Then everyone walked together toward the banquet area.

After arranging for the two to sit at the table, Xiao Shen called over a trusted confidant and quietly instructed him: "Keep a close eye on the Second Prince's men. Also, arrange more guards around the Madam."

The Second Prince and the Xiao family have always been at odds. In the past, he wished Xiao Shen would die so that he could arrange for someone from his faction to become the leader of the military.

Since he was given the drug that would prevent him from having children, he has outwardly given up the idea of ​​vying for fame and fortune, but no one knows the truth of the matter.

Regardless, Xiao Shen did not believe that the Second Prince had truly given up his ambitions.

An emperor without offspring will find it difficult to gain the support of others.

The way the Second Prince looked at Ji Xiaosong just now was as if he were looking at something he was determined to get his hands on.

If it weren't for the large number of people around today, Xiao Shen would have liked to immediately put a sack over the Second Prince's head.

Halfway through the banquet, Xiao Shen and Ji Xiaosong each carried out a child.

The remaining two children were held by Ji's mother and sister-in-law.

Xiao Shen said in a loud voice, "I am deeply grateful to all of you for coming today to celebrate the 100th day of my four sons. I wish the children a safe and peaceful life in the future, and I hope that all of you will share in this joy."

"General Xiao, bring the four young masters here for me to see. You just gave your permission."

The second prince spoke urgently, his eyes gleaming with an unfathomable light.

"Please, Second Prince." Xiao Shen frowned slightly, but still stepped forward carrying the child.

At this moment, Xiao Shen was holding his eldest son in his arms. A few days ago, he discovered that his eldest son had great strength in his hands and feet.

The baby, who is only three months old, often displays amazing strength.

Once, when it was placed in a child's bed, the child used his little hand to break off a section of the solid wood bed railing.

And those soft silk fabrics, if he grabbed or tore them with his little hands, would instantly fall to shreds.

On one occasion, someone accidentally got close to his small feet, and he casually kicked them, causing the person to grimace in pain as if they had suffered a serious injury.

This doesn't look like a 100-day-old baby at all; it's practically superhuman strength.

Now, no one dares to touch this child except for himself.

The second prince examined the child closely, his expression shifting between light and dark. Suddenly, a forced smile appeared on his lips as he said, "What is this thing on the child's forehead? Could it be that Madam Xiao has some hidden ailment that has been passed down to this child?"

Xiao Shen's face darkened, and he said indifferently, "Second Prince, do not speak recklessly. This is a child's natural condition, not caused by any hidden illness."

The second prince, however, did not believe it and scoffed, "General Xiao, don't try to fool me. What a coincidence!"

As he spoke, he reached out as if to tease the child.

Just as the second prince's hand was about to touch the child, the baby suddenly stretched out its little hand and swung it sharply. With a "crack" sound, the second prince screamed in pain.

Everyone was shocked to see that the Second Prince's wrist was broken.

"How dare you! You actually injured the Second Prince!" the Second Prince's attendant shouted angrily.

Xiao Shen quickly said, "This was an accident. My son is still young and doesn't understand. I hope the Second Prince will forgive him."

The Crown Prince was also taken aback by this sudden turn of events. He frowned and said, "Send the Second Prince to get medical treatment first. Do not make a fuss here and disturb the joyous occasion of the 100-day celebration."

Having seen it all and achieved his goal, the Second Prince, having been given a way out by the Crown Prince, naturally had to take the opportunity to leave.

If someone else were to get hurt because of such a small baby, they would surely lose face and be misunderstood.

But the second prince was different. He had clearly felt the baby's strength just now and knew that it was truly innate divine power.

Since Xiao Shen and Ji Xiaosong can produce such a child, if he has a child with Ji Xiaosong, the child will surely be just as intelligent as him, right?

The more the Second Prince thought about it, the more insane he became.

Even a broken hand is now of no importance to the Second Prince.

As soon as the second prince returned to his residence, he immediately summoned his trusted advisors.

He sat in a high position, his face gloomy, his fractured hand simply bandaged and hanging in front of him.

"What do you think of what happened today?" the Second Prince asked through gritted teeth.

One of the advisors stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, “Your Highness, the eldest son of the Xiao family is born with superhuman strength, which is an extraordinary sign. If he can be used by Your Highness, it would be a good thing; if not, it may become a great calamity.”

"He's so young, what would I need him for? What I want is Ji Xiaosong! With her by my side, how could I worry about not having a son with superhuman strength?"
