The more Fei Minglan got to know Yuan Zhizhi, the more impressed he was by his talent and character. Although the couple got together less and separated more after marriage, Fei Minglan did not complain or resent it. She knew that her husband, like Jing Guo, was making the most intense preparations and striding forward towards the eternal foundation of "unification of the world".

Rong Xiang actually had a man she liked before, who was a guard in the palace. She just waited for Xuan Yu's great career to succeed, and then asked herself to leave her original family and remarry her lover.

Rong Xiang followed Yuan Zhizhi around to complete the tasks assigned by Xuan Yu. She also talked to Fei Minglan about her situation in private.

And Fei Minglan believed in Yuan Zhizhi's integrity.

Yuan Zhizhi promised his wife that he would never break the vow they made on their wedding night to "be a couple for a lifetime," so Fei Minglan believed that he would definitely do it.

After Fei Minglan gave birth to her first daughter, she was a little depressed like her mother, but Yuan Zhizhi didn't care at all. Instead, he smiled and said: "Both children and daughters are our children. How can you, a mother, be partial? Besides, daughters must be pampered, and they must be loved even more."

Fei Minglan was still a little depressed. Just because she knew Yuan Zhizhi's temperament and would not find random women to have children, she wanted to give birth to his legitimate son as soon as possible and give birth to a son that belonged only to the two of them.

Fei Minglan didn't want to make the same mistake as her mother, enduring the heartache to give birth to a concubine for her husband, but she didn't want her husband to really have an heir.

Then the only thing she can do is to work hard to have more children, hoping to have more boys.

Giving birth to a daughter is for love, but giving birth to a son is a need. The social phenomenon is like this, and Fei Minglan does not want to be independent.

The more talented and capable a person is, the more people hope that he can leave an heir, and do not want such an excellent bloodline to be cut off.

Last year, Hara Harazhi finally resumed contact with Yuan Fu, but did not return to the family tree.

He once had a long talk with his father, Yuan Beigu, and said that he would build his own family tree in the future, and that there would never be a bastard in the family tree. Whenever there was no legitimate son, he would be extinct.

Fei Minglan touched her swollen belly, carefully feeling the movement of the baby in her belly, and murmured: "It's almost the due date. I wonder if your father can make it home?"

Not long after this pregnancy, Hara Zhizhi went away from home and has not returned home until now.Not long ago, he sent a letter home, saying that he would return home before the child was born.

"Mom! Mom!" Yuan Jiaqing was tired of playing and turned around to throw herself into her mother's arms. The wet nurse hurriedly stopped her and hugged her from behind.

"Miss, there is a baby in my wife's belly. You can't rush over like this, or you will crush the baby." The nanny persuaded her softly.

Yuan Jiaqing pouted, feeling a little awkward. She felt that her mother didn't love her so much since she had the baby.

Her big dark eyes rolled around, and she suddenly noticed a few people walking on the bluestone path at the end of the lawn. One of them was wearing a bright yellow dress embroidered with a dragon, which immediately attracted her attention.

Fei Minglan also discovered this extraordinary team. She couldn't believe that the emperor would actually visit this small place in Yuyao County.

She wanted to kneel forward to greet him, but she suddenly felt severe pain in her stomach, which made her legs weak and she could hardly stand.

Li Chun was anxious and hurriedly ordered the maids around him: "Quick, help my wife into the room, she is about to give birth! Pomegranate, don't worry about that stupid bird, go and tell Po Wen to get ready."

Director Xuan did not expect that as soon as he arrived at Taoyuan Villa, he would meet the hostess and give birth to a child.

Tsk tsk... What kind of destiny is he?He seems to have a special affinity with children.

When Fei Minglan was trying to give birth to her eldest son in the delivery room, she didn't know that she had been given the title of Madam of the Third Grade.

Not long ago, Xuan Yu decreed that the "Business Department" should be added, with equal emphasis on the six departments of officials, households, rituals, military affairs, punishment, and industry. Hara Zhizhi became the first Shangshu of the Ministry of Commerce.

Although this move caused a huge uproar in both the government and the public, it did not block the determination of Xuan Yu and Yuan Zhizhi. The Ministry of Commerce was officially operational, and Yuan Zhizhi's job was stabilized. He would work and live in the capital for many years in the future, so this time he returned to his hometown to welcome his wife and daughter back to the capital.

But he didn't expect that the emperor was too excited and bored because his great cause was about to succeed, so he insisted on going out to relax. He brought his eldest son Xuan Qian, who was sick and frail, to pay a private visit incognito, and called Xuan Qian to nurse himself back to health.

Yuan Jiaqing looked up at his peach blossom-like pink face and curiously looked at the little prince who was sitting next to Xuan Yu, also wearing dragon-embroidered clothes. She blinked her big black eyes and thought he was really good-looking, better-looking than anyone she had ever seen.

While the adults were talking, Yuan Jiabao quietly moved to Xuan Qian's side little by little, and tentatively poked Xuan Qian's face, which was softer and more beautiful than a peach blossom, with his finger.

Xuan Qian, who was already five years old, looked only a little older than three or four years old. He was astonishingly beautiful, but also pale and obviously not very healthy.

He also looked at the chubby little girl in front of him with curiosity. She was so cute, so pink that it made people want to take a bite.

Yuan Jiaqing suddenly lifted up Xuan Qian's robe and reached out to take off his pants.

Now not only Yuan Zhi was embarrassed, but even the emperor Xuan Yu was dumbfounded.

Did the little girl know about teasing his precious son so early?

Xuan Qian hurriedly held down his pants with a blushing face, slapped Yuan Jiaqing's hand and said, "You, you go away!"

However, Yuan Jiaqing stood on tiptoes and looked into the middle of his pants, shouting, "Wow! Small penis!"

A room full of people collapsed.

What kind of daughter did the former minister raise?

Hara Jiichi looked embarrassed and picked up his daughter. He first apologized to the emperor and the prince, and then asked his daughter: "What are you doing? It's so rude!"

Yuan Jiaqing hugged her father's neck, pouted her petal-like lips, and said, "The little brother in Lichun's family said that those with small penises are boys. If my father and mother have a boy, they won't love me. I hate small penises."

Xuan Qian fastened his belt again with the help of his father. After hearing this, he couldn't help but glared at Yuan Jiaqing, "I also hate little girls. After my mother has a sister, she doesn't love me anymore."

Yuan Jiaqing stared back at him, pouted and said "hum", then got into her father's arms and acted coquettishly, asking: "Dad, Mom has given birth to a younger brother, do you still love me?"

"Daddy loves you the most."

Yuan Jiaqing beamed with satisfaction.

It happened that at this time, Mrs. Wen walked out of the delivery room with the newborn baby in her arms and said loudly: "Congratulations to Mr. Yuan, he is a big fat boy. Both mother and baby are safe."

Yuan Zhizhi smiled slightly and ordered a generous reward.

Xuan Yu also joined in the fun and rewarded the newborn fat boy with a jade pendant.

The other guards and officials who came along all said auspicious and flattering words, such as how happy they were to have a happy marriage, how they would not worry about the future, etc.

Yuan Jiaqing, who was left out in the cold, had her mouth flat, and big tears quickly rolled out of her big eyes. The teardrops filled her eyelashes and refused to fall. She looked particularly endearing.

Xuan Qian couldn't help but walked over and took her little hand, clumsily wiping her tears, "Sister, don't cry, don't cry."

Yuan Jiaqing said aggrievedly: "Daddy is lying, and daddy doesn't love me anymore, Ming..."

"Don't cry, don't cry, I will love you from now on."

"Really?"

"Really."

"You swear!"

"Okay."

The two little hands were tightly pulled together, and the two urchins looked at each other and smiled, but they didn't know that the red thread of fate also took the opportunity to wrap around their little fingers, tightly tying their future together.

"Master Hara, let's go have a drink together tonight?"

After the next court, Mr. Liu, the Minister of Hubu, stopped the hurriedly walking Minister of Shang, Yuan Zhizhi.

The thirty-year-old Yuan Zhi is still handsome, and even the rigid court clothes can bring out the flavor of Zhilan Yushu, which makes other adults can only envy him.

No wonder the legend that Lord Yuan was a super handsome man spread throughout the early brothels in Jinling City, and even famous prostitutes wrote poems to praise him.

Other adults wrote poems in praise of the famous prostitutes, but the famous prostitutes may not be able to pay attention to them. They didn't even have to show their faces, but the famous prostitutes were busy fawning over them.

What kind of gap is this?

It is simply a tragedy to serve as an official in the same court as such a person.

Normally, everyone is not willing to invite Hara Zhizhi to drink wine outside, because as long as he is present, others are automatically reduced to supporting roles, and they are supporting roles that no one cares about.
