When Heng Yi shouted, âBegin!â
The horses galloped out at full speed.
In front of Heng Yi, He Cheng and All-Yao screamed out in excitement.
âBrother, you can do it!â He Cheng shouted.
Ah-Yao also followed his brotherâ¦
It made everyone laugh non-stop.
âYour children are really smart. Itâs a pity that 1 donât have a little girl anymore. Otherwise, I would have set my daughters down with Cheng and Yao.â Feng Xinru said.
The Gong Princeâs consort smiled, âWhy arenât your Yiâan and her Ah-Xiu engaged?â
âShe let her son marry early, but she didnât let her daughter marry early! Sheâs really mean.â Feng Xinru even jokingly pushed Han Qiao angrily.
Han Qiao was indeed in the wrong.
She didnât want to settle her childrenâs marriage so early.
With Han Chi and Li Mi, that was Han Chiâs own wish, and Li Mi was also willing. Otherwise, she would not have let Han Chi get married this soon.
He was still a child. The things he had to shoulder after marriage were completely different from before he was married.
âI didnât reject the offer. I told them to get along first. If they are interested in one another, I wonât stop them. If they arenât, then they remain as friends, growing side by side. Their relationship is naturally different from ordinary people.â
âYes, yes, yes. What you said makes sense. I canât win against you with your glib tongue.â
Feng Xinruâs mouth was also extremely sharp.
By the time they reached the manor, it was already noon.
These two villages originally belonged to Feng Xinru, and she gave one to Ah-Yao.
The two villages were just next to each other, and there was an arched gate that allowed direct access.
After they settled down, the hot water was carried into the house. Once they were done washing up, the food was ready.
The food in the countryside was not as rich as in the city, but Aunt Zhao brought people here. They made the best use of everything and made it sumptuous and delicious.
After dinner, they sat together and chatted.
The boys were stuck in their own world. They wielded swords and weapons, rode horses and shot arrows, played chess, and recited poems. They did whatever they wanted.
The girls talked about clothes.
They even planned to open a shop together to make shoes and clothes. They would string beads and make them exquisite.
They were now discussing whether to rent the shop or buy it. At first, they planned to make the samples themselves. After all, the capital was quite pricey.
If the children were to say that they had a lot of money, it would definitely be Li Mi, the princess.
Feng Xinruâs two daughters were even poorer. They had spent all their monthly allowance and pocket money. Not to say they were spenders, but their allowance wasnât as much as Sun Xiu, Sun Yi, and Sun Keâs to begin with.
It was even less than Zeng Qinâerâs money.
âIt doesnât matter whether you do or donât have money.â
âYou can get more dividends if you contribute money and effort.â Li Mi said.
She was the oldest among the girls and was already engaged. She was also Sun Xiu, Sun Yi, and Sun Keâs sister-in-law.
The three sisters were the first to support her sister-in-lawâs suggestion.
Of course, these were just the prototype. It would not be that easy to open a shop.
Heng Yi was bathing He Cheng and Ah-Yao in the room.
The two children were playing with the water in the basin, splashing the water all over the floor.
He was not angry. He added warm water for the children, wrapped them up, and placed them on a chair to help them put on their clothes.
Han Qiao and the others were chatting in the courtyard, drinking fruit wine, and looking at the night sky. It was very comfortable.
âI want to live like this for the rest of my life,â The Gong Princeâs consort suddenly said.
Her children were all by her side, and she could reach them with her hand.
Most importantly, they were all very happy.
The boysâ laughter was so loud and pure.
The girls whispered to each other. Although they couldnât hear anything, they could feel their happiness.
âHe isnât the only man in this world, is he? Your Majesty, you have good looks, good figure, and money in your hands. Your maternal family will support you, and your children has grow up. Just treat that man as fart and let him go.â Feng Xinruâs tongue curled up as she spoke.
She seemed like she was drunk.
The Gong Princeâs consort paused for a moment before laughing.
âItâs still Xinru who has thought it through. She can get a divorce, but I can only rot in this mud for the rest of my life.â
âAll-Qiao, donât blame me for hastily marrying Miâer to your family. I donât want her to live such a guarded life and be blamed every day.â
The Heng family has a good family style.
Everyone was united.
Even though Heng Yi didnât talk much, he cared about his family. Han Qiao was polite to the wise, even to the servants.
Han Qiao didnât know how to comfort Consort Fei.
After a moment of silence, she said, âBamboos originally grew by accident, but it caused more trouble. Although the lotus root is empty, it is not stained by the mud. Life is like a dream. Consort, you havenât even tried. What ifâ¦â
The Gong Princeâs consort looked at Han Qiao, âEverything is fate. 1 wonât take any risks if Iâm not completely confident that 1 can escape unscathed. I canât afford it. My family canât afford it. Zhaoâer and Miâer canât afford it.â
âThen Her Highness should pull herself together. Power and money should be in your hands. If you can use someone, then use them. If you canât use themâ¦â Han Qiao wanted to say that if she couldnât use them, she should leave her husband.
However, she didnât dare to say such things.
They were just casually chatting after drinking, but if the Gong Princeâs consort took it seriously and took action, things might turn bad.
It was not worth it to be a scumbag who changed her mind.
The Gong Princeâs consort smiled at Han Qiao. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âDonât worry, Iâm not drunk. Itâs just that the moonlight is so beautiful tonight. Perhaps itâs because this moment is too comfortable that Iâm telling you this. I wonât mess around, and 1 wonât put myself in danger. Humans are always greedy.â
All she did was let her heart return to the night before the wedding.
In the beginning, she only wanted the power and wealth of the Imperial Residence, not someone who was weak to love.
She once had loveâ¦
She had let that go back then. She should not regret it now. She had no right to regret it.
When the boys played, they didnât care about the time.
The Gong Princeâs consort drank some more wine before turning in to rest.
Han Qiao asked Feng Xinruâs maids and old women to help their Madam get inside.
âI can still drink a few more cups!â Feng Xinru shouted.
It seemed that she was quite drunk.
When Han Qiao returned to the courtyard, Heng Yi had already put the two children to sleep.
âDid they give you trouble?â Han Qiao looked at the two brothers who were lying side by side and sleeping soundly.
Her heart softened.
âAfter playing hard today, they fell asleep very quickly.â
Han Qiao got up and sat in Heng Yiâs arms.
She cupped his face and kissed him, âMy dear husband, youâve worked hard. 1â11 reward you with a kiss.â
There was a faint fragrance on her body and a faint smell of alcohol.
Heng Yi picked her up.
âHeng Yi, what are you doing?â
âYouâre teasing me. What do you think I want?â
In the small room, only small pants and Han Qiaoâs soft pleading voice could be heard; âBe gentle, I still have to go out tomorrowâ¦â
Then, the voices gradually calmed down.
That night was beautiful and peaceful.
However, a team heading to Chenzhou was intercepted and killed.
Emperor Zhao Qian sat in the carriage and looked at the people fighting outside.
There were a few times when assassins wanted to rush over, but they were stopped by a black shadow.
Emperor Zhao Qian asked Heng Congshan beside the carriage, âWho is that man in black? Iâve never seen him before,â
