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

Yue Li didn't tell anyone about what happened today. After all, she felt that regardless of how deep Leng Xuanling's feelings were for her as the crown prince of a country, being rejected by her today must have made him lose face, and he probably wouldn't appear in front of her again. So she simply put the matter out of her mind.

Over the next two days, Yue Li occasionally guided Shao Qi on how to fly on a sword when he didn't understand something. Jin Chenyuan also sat beside him and listened attentively. He also planned to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage after returning to the capital, so he could memorize what Yue Li was saying in advance.

Time was still too short. It was difficult for Shao Qi to even control the spirit sword in his hand to stay suspended in the air with his mind, let alone fly on the sword.

Each failure and each attempt only made Shao Qi, whose already unstable and impulsive nature was becoming even more impatient.

Jin Chenyuan watched thoughtfully from the side, while Yue Li swallowed the watermelon in her mouth and comforted him, "Don't be impatient. You can't rush things. This matter has to be done slowly. Only when you can be in complete harmony with the sword in your hand can you let it carry you through the sky. Otherwise, if you lose control halfway through the air, you'll fall down with a thud. Even if you don't die, you'll still get injured."

"But this is too difficult." Shao Qi was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. He took the sword and put it on the table, sat down next to Yue Li, and buried his head in Yue Li's arms for comfort.

"Alright, do you think you're still a child? Jinrui and Xiaoyu are watching, waiting to laugh at you," Yue Li said, wiping her hands with a handkerchief before patting Shao Qi on the back.

At this moment, Jinrui and Jinyu were sitting on a small stool next to them, playing with small sticks and playing with the small fish that Laifu and the others had specially caught from the pool below the waterfall.

Several small fish of different colors were in a wooden basin, swimming around in the clear water. As the two people stirred the water with a small stick, the fish swayed their tails and swam faster.

Shao Qi turned his head and saw that Jin Rui and Xiao Yu were ignoring him, so he turned back to snuggle in Yue Li's arms, seeking comfort.

He reached out and touched Yue Li's lower abdomen, humming, "I wonder whose little one is in Yue Li's belly. I think it should be mine. After all, I was in front, and Brother Yuan Xi was behind, with several hours in between. Besides, I think I'm much better than Brother Yuan hope."

After finishing speaking to himself, he touched Yue Li's lower abdomen with certainty and said, "Babies, I am your father. You must remember my voice and never forget it after you come out."

Yue Li: ……

Jin Chenyuan, who overheard this from the side: ...

Both of them looked at the big kid nestled in Yue Li's arms with mixed feelings. He was about to become a father, but he still acted like a child.

Feeling the large hand stroking her lower abdomen, Yue Li used her divine sense to examine the three unformed fetuses inside her once more.

Yes, three!

This was discovered when she guided Shao Qi to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage during her last seclusion. At the time, she thought she was seeing things wrong, since she had always seen two before. But after checking carefully, she realized there were indeed three.

Perhaps one of them was previously hidden by the other two, but now that it has grown bigger and changed position, it has become visible to her.

However, she hasn't revealed this news yet; she wants to see if the extra one will disappear after a while.

A month later, the extra one grew up along with the other two and showed no signs of disappearing.

She's now more than two months pregnant, and I believe that soon, Shao Qi will be able to diagnose her pregnancy through pulse diagnosis.

He sighed helplessly to himself, knowing that because of these three children, they would probably have to return to Kyoto to rest and prepare for childbirth soon.

However, before Shao Qi finds out, she can still enjoy her freedom for a while longer. "Let's leave tomorrow and go to Chengzhou Prefecture on the southern border. We've been here for so long and we're tired of it."

The weather isn't so sunny anymore. After they've been out having fun for more than half a month, and she's been diagnosed with her third pregnancy, they'll probably have to head back to Kyoto.

“Alright, since A-Li wants to go, then we’ll go tomorrow,” Jin Chenyuan said softly to Yue Li.

Even though he knew that Yue Li hadn't gone out before because it was too hot, he didn't argue with her at all.

The next morning, Feng Yuanxi hugged Yue Li tightly and told her to take care of her health and not to overwork herself. Then, reluctantly, he mounted his horse and left with Lai Fu and the other three.

He couldn't accompany Yue Li around to play. If Yue Li hadn't come here to find him, he didn't know when they would see each other again.

Jin Chenyuan and the others used storage bags to pack their things, so they naturally couldn't leave Lai Fu and the other three here and let them see them.

With Yue Li's space and the storage bags of Jin Chenyuan, Shao Qi, and Gong Hanmo, they acted quickly, and in no time, everything they had prepared in the valley was put away.

Looking at the empty valley, Yue Li thought about how comfortable she had been to escape the summer heat here this year. So, as she stepped out of the valley and got into the carriage, she smiled and said, "If I can't find a good place to escape the summer heat next year, I plan to come back here. Anyway, it won't take long to get there."

"Yes, when we get back, we'll have the craftsmen build a few more habitable wooden houses. Ah Li will then be stored in the storage bag, and she won't have to live in the tent anymore." Jin Chenyuan helped Yue Li into the carriage, and after he followed her into the carriage, he took Jin Rui and Jin Yu from Gong Hanmo and Shao Qi's arms.

This was a specially made carriage, as big as a house, pulled by three horses, so even with so many people inside, it wasn't crowded.

Haoyun sat on the carriage shaft outside, driving the carriage. Occasionally, Shaoqi and Gong Hanmo would come out to relieve Haoyun and let him rest for a while.

To be honest, Yue Li wasn't very satisfied with this trip. Perhaps it was because it was too close to Linfang Prefecture. Chengzhou Prefecture was too similar to Linfang Prefecture in terms of architecture and people, and even their tastes were similar.

So after arriving in Chengzhou Prefecture, Yue Li urged everyone to set off again after only a few days of playing around. She wanted to continue on her way, but on that same day, Shao Qi noticed something was wrong when he took her pulse.

However, he only found that Yue Li's pulse was abnormal, and it was completely different from the pulse during her previous two pregnancies. So after discussing it, the minority obeyed the majority, and Yue Li's plan to continue was ruined.

Seeing the group packing up to go back, Yue Li reached out and wrapped her arms around Jin Chenyuan's waist. Seeing his worried expression and furrowed brows ever since he learned that his pulse was abnormal, she couldn't bear it and stammered that she had seen three children when she looked inside her body.

Her voice wasn't loud, but everyone in the room heard it. Jin Chenyuan's pupils contracted slightly, and he tightened his grip on Yue Li's arm.

Shao Qi rushed to Yue Li's side in a few steps, his face a mixture of shock and disbelief, and he stammered, "What? Three, three? How is that possible?"
