The mistress has no feelings, why do you provoke her?

Xiao Ji was so angry that he trembled all over, pointed his finger at Bai Shu, and his lips quivered.

After hesitating for a while, he finally managed to squeeze out a single word: "Get lost!"

But Bai Shu stood still, motionless, as if he were nailed to the spot.

Seeing this, Xiao Ji could no longer suppress his anger and kicked him away.

Bai Shu took the opportunity to leave the palace.

The army's departure date was set for two days later, and time was of the essence.

When Xiao Nanzhi learned of this news, Bai Shu had already been forced to leave the city with the group.

Xiao Nanzhi was filled with grievances and went to Song Wenjun to complain.

As soon as she saw Song Wenjun, she burst into tears, sobbing pitifully: "Sister-in-law, you have to do something about my brother! Why did he send Baishu to fight on the border again?"

She sobbed uncontrollably, her shoulders trembling, tears streaming down her face like a broken string of pearls.

Looking at her like this, Song Wenjun was both amused and exasperated. She said softly, "He did this for the two of you. Bai Shu doesn't have a title yet, so we have to find a way to earn him one. Now that we finally have this opportunity, we naturally gave it to him. Do you think this is a good thing that you can just go whenever you want?"

Seeing that Xiao Nanzhi was listening attentively, Song Wenjun continued to patiently explain: "Those who didn't get the chance to go to the border are so angry they're grinding their teeth. You, on the other hand, are still not satisfied."

Xiao Nanzhi still had glistening tears in her eyes, but when she heard Song Wenjun say that, she immediately stopped crying.

With a hint of uncertainty mixed with anticipation, she asked, "Really?"

“When have I ever lied to you? The Princess has always been reluctant to let you get married because she wants to keep you by her side for a few more years. But think about it, you can wait, but can Bai Shu wait?” Song Wenjun said earnestly.

At this moment, the baby beside her seemed to be speaking up for Song Wenjun, waving its lotus-root-like little arms and making babyish, babbling sounds.

Looking at her son's adorable face, Song Wenjun smiled gently, patted him lightly, and asked softly, "Isn't that right, Linlin?"

Little Linlin seemed to understand her words, waving her little hands even more vigorously, blowing bubbles as she did so, looking incredibly adorable.

Xiao Nanzhi was also charmed by the little guy's cuteness. She couldn't help but reach out a finger and gently poke the child's cheek, saying with a smile, "Linlin, you have to grow up quickly!"

To everyone's surprise, Linlin pouted and burst into tears.

"Waaah, waaah..."

The sudden crying startled Xiao Nanzhi. She looked at Song Wenjun nervously and hurriedly explained, "Sister-in-law, I didn't hurt him."

"It has nothing to do with you." Song Wenjun couldn't help but chuckle as she looked at Xiao Nanzhi's nervous and helpless appearance. "Linlin is just hungry."

Xiao Nanzhi looked closely and saw that it was true; the little guy was just crying loudly with his mouth open, but there were no tears in his eyes.

Before long, the wet nurse heard the crying and rushed over, quickly taking the child away to breastfeed.

Xiao Nanzhi breathed a long sigh of relief: "The child is cute, but too scary. He can start crying so easily."

“You won’t say that anymore once you have children,” Song Wenjun said with a smile.

In order not to disturb Song Wenjun's rest, Xiao Nanzhi left without lingering.

In the blink of an eye, another half month has passed.

Emperor Wen's health deteriorated rapidly.

That day, Emperor Wen seemed to be touched by something and suddenly became interested.

He said to Eunuch Fu, who had served him for many years, "Go and summon the Crown Princess and her two children to the palace. I want to see them."

Eunuch Fu glanced at Emperor Wen and saw that he was in high spirits today, completely unlike his usual sickly and weak appearance.

Upon seeing this, Grandpa Fu's heart skipped a beat.

These days, he has been staying by Emperor Wen's side and knows the emperor's health condition very well.

Having witnessed countless life-and-death situations in the palace during his many years there, he knew this unusual state of mind was clearly a sign of a final burst of energy before death.

Eunuch Fu dared not slack off in the slightest. He hurried out of the palace and headed straight for the Crown Prince's residence.

Xiao Ji was puzzled by Eunuch Fu's sudden visit and stepped forward to ask, "Eunuch Fu, what brings you here all of a sudden?"

Eunuch Fu, panting heavily with sweat beading on his face and a look of panic on his face, said, "Your Highness, the Emperor suddenly said today that he wants to see the Crown Princess and the two children."

This old servant noticed that His Majesty's condition was truly abnormal, and feeling worried, I hurried out to inform you.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ji panicked instantly.

The imperial physicians had predicted that Emperor Wen's health was already deteriorating and he would not live more than three months.

Unexpectedly, the reality was even more serious than he had imagined.

He quickly went to Song Wenjun's courtyard and sent someone to call Yan Yan over as well.

"Wenjun, come with me to the palace quickly." As soon as Xiao Ji entered the room, he didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.

Song Wenjun looked surprised and asked instinctively, "What are you going to the palace for now?"

Xiao Ji's expression was solemn, his face somber, and his voice carried an undisguised sorrow: "Father, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for much longer."

Upon hearing this, Song Wenjun was momentarily stunned, standing there dumbfounded for a while before she finally reacted and said, "Then, then I'll change my clothes."

She had already finished her postpartum confinement period, and after this time of recuperation, her body had recovered quite well.

Apart from being a little rounder, she looks almost exactly the same as before she had children.

The couple entered the palace in sedan chairs, with the child carried by the wet nurse, and went to the Qiankun Hall together.

Emperor Wen was resting with his eyes closed on the soft couch in the palace. As if sensing something, he opened his eyes and said, "They've arrived."

After saying this, Song Wenjun and Xiao Ji led the child into the palace.

Emperor Wen smiled when he saw the family of four.

During his reign as emperor, there was constant infighting in the harem, and very few children survived.

As a result, after the former crown prince's attempt to force the emperor to abdicate failed, only Xiao Ji remained as the prince.

Fortunately, he lived up to expectations.

Having governed the Southern Moon Kingdom so well, he now has the face to meet his ancestors in the afterlife.

Initially, Emperor Wen did not think highly of Song Wenjun.

In his eyes, how much insight could a woman from a merchant family possibly have?

But life is unpredictable, and this was a woman from an ordinary background.

Yet she possesses a dignified and elegant demeanor, a kind heart, and a generous nature.

She gave birth to two grandchildren for the royal family, which filled Emperor Wen with joy.

"Father Emperor." Xiao Ji and Song Wenjun stepped forward and respectfully greeted him in unison.

Emperor Wen waved his hand gently, a kind smile on his face, and looked at Song Wenjun, saying, "Bring my grandson here so I can have a good look at him."

Song Wenjun carefully took the child from the wet nurse and personally presented him to Emperor Wen.

Strangely enough, the child slept soundly the whole way, but woke up when they got close to Emperor Wen.

She even grinned, revealing her toothless little mouth, and gave Emperor Wen an innocent smile.

Emperor Wen's eyes instantly welled up with tears, and he repeatedly said, "Good, good! This child is clearly a blessed one."

As he spoke, he took a string of Buddhist prayer beads from his wrist and handed it to Song Wenjun, saying, "This string of prayer beads has been with me for many years, so give it to this child."

Song Wenjun quickly accepted the gift with both hands and expressed her gratitude on behalf of the child.

Emperor Wen looked at Song Wenjun with a solemn expression and slowly said, "I have called you two here today because there is something that has been on my mind."

“Father, please speak freely,” Xiao Ji hurriedly replied.

Emperor Wen smiled slightly and said softly, "After I leave, this empire will naturally be handed over to you."

When I was on the throne, I had few children, which almost led to a great disaster.

When it comes to your generation, you must take many concubines and continue your lineage.

This is both my command and my last words.
