The Emperor, with more men than women, made me his mistress.

Since learning that Yue Li was pregnant, she has been taken even closer care of. Before, she could play in the water under the waterfall, but now both of them felt that the water under the waterfall was too cold and stopped Yue Li from playing in the water. Helpless, she could only lie on the rocking chair and look at the scenery in the valley and the waterfall that cascaded down the cliff like a curtain of water.

A light drizzle started falling these past two days, so Yue Li had to stay inside her tent.

The rocking chair she was sitting on was based on her drawings, which Feng Yuanxi then had specially commissioned a craftsman to build it.

At this moment, Yue Li was lying on a rocking chair, with candied fruit in her mouth and in her hand the portraits of Jin Rui and Jin Yu, as well as Jing Hao and Jing Yao, which Jin Chenyuan had borrowed from Sheng Yifan's gyrfalcon a few days ago.

Picking up a portrait of four people sitting in a row, Yue Li could tell that it must have been painted by Jin Chenyuan. Looking at their innocent and smiling faces, she suddenly missed them terribly.

She felt very guilty; she wasn't a good mother. She only thought about traveling and never thought about spending time with her four children.

However, she also knew that she couldn't devote all her attention to her child, like modern women who focus all their attention on their children after giving birth.

She was used to living a self-centered life, and she happened to encounter a world where women were only responsible for giving birth but not for raising children, which made her even more unrestrained in her behavior after having children.

Carefully storing the portraits of the four children in her hand into her spatial storage, Yue Li looked at the raindrops falling on the trees, grass, and wildflowers outside and thought that perhaps she could go back and bring Jin Chenyuan and the children over to play here for a while to cool off before returning.

Jin Chenyuan should be fine with it, but I don't know if Jin Jinxuan will agree.

After all, Jinghao and Jingyao are only six months old.

"What are you thinking about, A-Li?" Feng Yuanxi asked with some concern as he fed Yue Li the peeled grape pulp in his hand, watched Yue Li put away the portraits of several children, and stared blankly at the rain outside.

Yue Li and her entourage have been gone for several months now. Judging from her current appearance, it's obvious that Yue Li misses her child. Naturally, he is very reluctant to let Yue Li leave. If Yue Li leaves, the next time they meet will probably be when the child is born.

For him, who had been able to see Yue Li anytime he wanted in the valley for the past month, this was undoubtedly a fall from heaven to hell.

Feng Yuanxi, who was sitting on the chair next to Yue Li, got off the chair, knelt down, put his head on Yue Li's lap, raised his hand to hold Yue Li's hand hanging by her side, looked up at Yue Li, his cold and resolute brows full of reluctance.

Yue Li was unaware of the turmoil raging in Feng Yuanxi's mind during that short time. She smiled slightly as she looked at him, then freed herself from his hand and gently stroked his resolute face. "I want to go back and bring A Yuan and the children over. I wonder if Yuanxi has time to make the trip with me?"

Upon hearing Yue Li's words, Feng Yuanxi instantly understood Yue Li's plan. The reluctance in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a pleasant smile. "Okay, I'll go with A-Li."

“Then I want to go too, I want to go with Yue.” Shao Qi was lying on another rocking chair next to him and heard the conversation between the two clearly. When he heard that Yue Li had only invited Feng Yuanxi and not him, he quickly said.

“Sister Li, I can go back and help too.” Gong Hanmo, standing at the tent entrance, smiled and looked at Yue Li.

When Yue Li met Shao Qi and Gong Hanmo's expectant eyes, she thought for a moment and still refused, saying, "This time, you two should stay in the valley. I don't know if the Emperor will feel comfortable letting Jing Hao and Jing Yao come along. We might not even need so many people."

Jinrui and Jinyu have their father with them, but if Jinghao and Jingyao are brought along, the Emperor might not feel at ease.

Shao Qi and Gong Hanmo listened to Yue Li's words and did not insist on going with them. After all, the little prince and Princess Zhaoyang were not yet one year old. If they were the fathers of such children, they would definitely not want their children to leave their side.

"Ah Li, when shall we depart?" Fearing that Yue Li might change her mind later because the young prince and Princess Zhaoyang couldn't come, Feng Yuanxi asked with a hint of unease.

Seeing that the light rain outside showed no signs of stopping, Yue Li sat up from the rocking chair and said, "Let's set off now. If we leave at this time, we can reach Kyoto before dark."

"Okay." Feng Yuanxi quickly picked up the embroidered shoes next to her and put them on Yue Li, then helped her up from the rocking chair and straightened her slightly disheveled clothes.

The two then arrived at the tent entrance.

Yue Li took out the Chu Yun Sword from her spatial storage and looked at Shao Qi and Gong Hanmo, saying, "We might have to stay in the capital for two days to have the fruits in the valleys outside the capital and the watermelons on the estates picked. If you two feel bored in the valleys, you can go to Linfang Prefecture City to stroll around, have some tea, listen to some music, and so on!"

"If Shaoqi and Hanmo are willing, they can also go to the military camp and train with the soldiers. I have already spoken to the deputy general there. You two can come and go from the military camp at will, of course, only to the training ground." Feng Yuanxi looked at the two of them and said seriously.

Although they were all people who knew each other well and served Yue Li together, the secrets of the military camp could not be leaked.

Originally, Yue Li only took Feng Yuanxi back, and the two of them looked a little dejected. However, after listening to Feng Yuanxi's words, their spirits finally lifted. After all, the valley was really boring for the two of them without Yue Li, so they might as well go to the military camp to take a look.

Seeing that the two had finally stopped hanging their heads, Yue Li manipulated the Chu Yun Sword to hover and land at their feet. After she and Feng Yuanxi stepped on it, she used her spiritual power to form a protective shield around them, which would prevent them from getting wet in the rain. Then, she waved to Shao Qi and Gong Hanmo, manipulated the Chu Yun Sword under her feet, and instantly drew a beautiful arc in the air before disappearing from sight.

Just as Yue Li had said, when they arrived outside Kyoto, it was already dusk. Flying in the air, they could see that lights were already on in every household below.

Without informing Jin Chenyuan beforehand, Yue Li and Feng Yuanxi did not rashly land directly in the Prince Chen's mansion. Instead, they stopped on a quiet, dark street not far from the mansion gate, the dim sky concealing their figures as they descended from the sky.

Unlike Linfang's residence, it didn't rain in Kyoto. After sheathing the Qiyun Sword, Yue Li and Feng Yuanxi walked together toward the gate of Prince Chen's residence.
