Chapter 90 Finale
The princess, who was playing with her grandchildren on the grass in the outer courtyard, heard the sound and looked out with joy.

Jiang Lanyue walked quickly, knelt on one knee and shouted, "Mother!"

The princess, with tears in her eyes, hurried forward to help him up.

At this time, Xiao Ling'er screamed, "Daddy! Daddy!" and ran over.

Xiao Ming opened his eyes wide, looked at the sudden stranger curiously, and ran over with his sister.

Jiang Lanyue was filled with joy. He squatted down, hugged them on both sides, and kissed them again and again.

"Ling'er and Ming'er have both grown taller! We will both be able to run tomorrow! Haha!"

The princess wiped her moist eyes. Before she could say anything, Jiang Lanyue had already picked up her two children and walked quickly into the inner room.

Mrs. Fan was standing in the corridor, talking in a low voice with He Shunshun. Suddenly, she heard some noise outside, and when she looked up, she saw Jiang Lanyue hurriedly approaching with the child in her arms.

"The prince is back, great!"

"Where's the Crown Princess? Is she still in the room?"

"Shhhh! The Crown Princess has just fallen asleep, don't wake her up."

The princess followed closely behind him, smiling and persuading him: "You have traveled a long way, go wash up and change your clothes. Let the children stay with their mother for a while."

Jiang Lanyue only thought of Fan An, and couldn't wait to go into the house. He handed the child to the princess, waved his hand to let everyone leave, and walked into the inner room quietly.

After eight months of separation, the longing in my heart rages like wildfire.

Thinking of the words in Fan Muqing's letter, his steps became heavy, and he felt a sense of "I feel more homesick the closer I am to home".

The house was dimly lit, and the spring sunshine filtered through the windows, casting mottled shadows.

On the wide bed, a familiar figure was sitting crookedly with a bulging belly that looked quite alarming.

Her face was pale, her cheeks were thin, and she was sleeping quietly with her head resting on the pillow.

Although he was already prepared, when he actually saw this scene, he still felt deep love and pity in his heart.

His eyes were slightly moist, and his gaze was fixed on her.

Suddenly, her big belly moved noticeably.

She was startled and quickly reached out to touch her belly.

"Be good..."

She felt a familiar gaze on her, and she was startled. She slowly raised her hazy eyes and met his gaze.
Suddenly, Fanan's eyes widened and he stood there in a daze.

"I...I must be dreaming."

Jiang Lanyue jumped lightly onto the bed and came to her side. He picked her up gently with his strong hands, carefully avoiding her belly, and held her tightly in his arms.

"Little Fatty... I'm back."

That familiar, clear voice, with a hint of tired hoarseness, and his masculine scent filled her nose, and she suddenly burst into tears, ecstatic.

After not seeing each other for eight months, his appearance made her feel both unreal and extremely excited.

The two hugged each other tightly, silently immersed in this brief silence, feeling each other's warmth.

She moved slightly: "Jiang Lanyue, we have been separated for a long time, let me see you."

Slowly moving out of his arms, he looked darker and thinner, and his tired eyes, full of red veins, were filled with longing for herself.

He looked at her lovingly, caressing her cheek gently, his love for her evident.

"Little Fatty, you've worked hard... I didn't expect that my little Fatty didn't become plump and round as I expected, but instead became so haggard."

She smiled, a smile that was a little weak, but her big, bright eyes were full of joy.

She took his hand and placed it on her swollen belly.

"Do you remember what you said before you left? You said you hoped our next child would look like you. Look, there are two of them! One of them will definitely look like you."

He was deeply moved and kissed her forehead affectionately.

"It's all good... everything is good! In fact, I hope my child can be like you."

"Why?" Fan An asked curiously, "Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

He stroked her belly gently, and said in a deep tone: "Our children are all the result of your hard work in pregnancy for ten months and birth. Therefore, it is more appropriate to look like you."

She smiled sweetly and nuzzled his shoulder affectionately as usual.

"Well, how about one look like you and one look like me?"

He smiled and kissed her cheek gently before leaning in and kissing her big belly.

"Okay, listen to my little fat boy. One looks like daddy, and the other looks like mommy."

She giggled happily.

Jiang Lanyue's return filled the villa with laughter and joy.

The two children pestered their father to lift them up, hug them, and kiss them, and the house was filled with laughter.

Fanan also seemed to have regained his vitality, his appetite improved, and his spirits were refreshed.

He Shunshun took her pulse, and the midwife came to check the fetal position from time to time, taking care of her carefully.

Jiang Lanyue asked repeatedly: "Are all the staff ready? Are all the other things ready?"

The princess nodded hurriedly: "Mother had prepared everything more than a month ago. They are all reliable personnel, and the midwives are well-known experts with rich experience."

Mrs. Fan smiled and replied, "There are all the things the children need, no more, no less."

"Thank you for your hard work, mother and mother-in-law." Jiang Lanyue was feeding Fan An soup. He smiled and said, "I'm lucky you took care of An An during this period."

The princess looked at him lovingly and said with a smile, "We are all family, there is no need to be polite. When it comes to hard work, no one is as hard as An An. Seeing her suffer, we can't help even if we want to..."

Fan An turned around and said casually, "No way! I am only responsible for eating and sleeping. I am the one who enjoys it the most."

Everyone laughed.

Mrs. Fan looked up at the sky and said, "It's getting late. I'll take Ling'er to rest first."

The princess also picked up Xiao Ming'er and handed him to the wet nurse next to her. After giving her a few instructions, she returned to her room.

He Shunshun reminded: "The Crown Prince's Consort may be about to give birth in the next few days, so you must be extra careful in your actions."

In the evening, Fan An and Jiang Lanyue talked about the time they had been apart.

Fan An held his hand tightly, his eyes full of curiosity and concern for the past six months, "Where have you been? What have you been through? Are you hurt?"

Jiang Lanyue leaned gently beside her, with a tired tone, and answered her questions briefly. Then he slowly closed his tired eyes and fell asleep.

Traveling for three consecutive days and two nights was also a great test for him.

Fan An did not disturb him again. She understood his tiredness, so she gazed at his profile with gentle eyes and accompanied him quietly.

As the night grew darker, she yawned loudly, her body unconsciously leaned on his shoulder, and fell into a sweet sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, the baby in her belly gave her a reminder and kicked her hard.

Fanan was awakened by the pain. She gently stroked her belly and tried to straighten her body, trying to find a comfortable position.

However, unexpectedly, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my stomach!
She endured the pain and took a deep breath, but still couldn't help but let out a soft hissing sound.

Jiang Lanyue immediately woke up from his sleep and asked nervously: "Little Fatty, what's wrong with you?"

"Jiang Lanyue... I'm in so much pain... I... might be giving birth..."

Jiang Lanyue hurriedly looked at her round belly. With the help of the faint candlelight, he found that the ground was covered with blood!
His heart sank instantly, and he hugged her tightly, shouting in panic: "Someone come quickly!!"

Fortunately, everything was ready, and soon the midwife arrived, and the maids went in and out of the house in an orderly manner.

Jiang Lanyue paced back and forth anxiously, feeling nervous and uneasy, and finally walked into the delivery room.

This was Vanan's first attempt to give birth to twins, and after an hour of struggle, she finally gave birth to one baby.

"It's a little prince!"

A moment later, the second child came into this world.

"Another little prince!"

Jiang Lanyue breathed a sigh of relief. He pulled up his sleeves and gently wiped the sweat off Fan'an.

"Little Fatty, you've worked hard..."

Vanan smiled weakly, listening to the loud cries of the children, his heart filled with satisfaction, "Ah!"

"What's wrong?!" Jiang Lanyue's face turned pale, and he nervously supported her body which suddenly straightened up.

Vanan gasped in pain and exclaimed, "There's one more! There's one more!"

Everyone gathered around hurriedly.

Jiang Lanyue was happy, worried and distressed. When the last child was born, he felt like he was going to collapse.

"What's wrong with the system? Didn't I redeem the Twin Pills?"

"Oh, Master, we made the wrong exchange. It turns out that what we exchanged before was Duozi Pills."

"...Okay, is there enough energy?"

"Enough, Master. Enough for us to go back."

At dawn, the midwives tidied up Fanan, and Jiang Lanyue wrapped her in a quilt and carried her back to the clean bed in the room.

After drinking a bowl of bird's nest porridge, Fanan fell into a deep sleep, obviously exhausted.

After Jiang Lanyue carried her back to the room, he stayed by her side for a while. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly and had no symptoms of discomfort, he went to see his three younger sons with peace of mind.

After being washed and wrapped, the three little guys all slept soundly. They had black hair and handsome features, and they looked very much like him. "Who is the eldest brother? Who is the youngest brother?" He looked at the identical miniature versions of himself and smiled from ear to ear.

The princess smiled and said, "The one wearing the blue robe is the eldest brother, the one wearing the green robe is the second brother, and the one wearing the pink robe is the third brother."

Mrs. Fan smiled until her eyes narrowed. She explained, "I originally thought it was twins, a boy and a girl, so I prepared clothes for girls."

Jiang Lanyue stroked his youngest son's black hair and said, "Third brother is an unexpected surprise!"

Everyone laughed and said it was a big surprise after a surprise.

"An An is in good health, so she can raise these three children to be so strong. Look, they are all full of energy!"

"The old marquis said earlier that An An is a very lucky granddaughter-in-law of our mansion. She has been married for four years and has added five descendants to our mansion. She is really blessed!"

Jiang Lanyue sighed softly and said distressedly: "She has worked so hard..."

He Shunshun brought a bowl of medicine and said, "This is used to stop bleeding and replenish blood. I'll take it to--"

"I'll do it." Jiang Lanyue took the bowl and strode towards the bedroom.

In the next few days, Fan'an was in a state of half sleep and half wakefulness, while Jiang Lanyue always took care of her personally.

Her life rhythm became very simple: eat when she woke up, sleep after eating. Various supplements, plus the soups carefully prepared by He Shunshun, gradually restored Fana's complexion to a rosy color.

As her wakefulness lengthened, she began to sit up.

Jiang Lanyue brought a bowl of steaming hot chicken soup and said to her gently, "Little Fatty, come and drink some soup. I'll feed you."

Fan An smiled and said, "Don't bother, my hand is not injured, I can drink it myself."

He glanced at her sideways and asked with some dissatisfaction: "What's wrong? You just recovered a little bit of your complexion, and you start to dislike me?"

Fan An had no choice but to let him feed him.

"Jiang Lanyue, the situation is not completely stable yet, you can't stay here forever."

Jiang Lanyue gently pinched her little face and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, I know what's going on. Now only the southwest region is not stable, but the southwest is mainly our fiefdom, so there won't be any big problems, and it won't take too much time."

Only after hearing him say this did Fanan feel relieved.

He glared at her with some annoyance and said, "Are you hinting that I should leave? Are you dissatisfied with my poor care for you?"

Fan An chuckled, hugged his arms tightly, and said coquettishly: "How can I bear to let you go! No one's care can compare to your thoughtfulness!"

It turns out that acting coquettishly is effective for any man, even for someone as arrogant and sharp-tongued as Jiang Lanyue.

He immediately smiled, hugged her in his arms and kissed her hard.

"I am willing to take care of the little fat boy. I will also take this opportunity to raise my little fat boy into a big fat boy."

The good news spread quickly. The Crown Prince's wife gave birth to three babies in one pregnancy, which made the old marquis smile with joy. He then generously rewarded his subordinates.

When the news came in, everyone was excited. They saw that the Marquis of Southwest China was about to unify the world, the prince had many sons and daughters, and the southwestern branch showed signs of prosperity, so the morale of the army was greatly boosted.

After the confinement period, Jiang Lanyue had to leave.

"Little Fatty, you just came out of confinement. Don't go out in the sun all the time. Take good care of yourself. I will be back soon this time."

Fan'an's eyes were slightly moist, and his heart was filled with reluctance to leave.

Jiang Lan went out to fight and experienced life and death, but he never confided a word to her.

But she once saw the shocking scars on his body when he was taking a bath, two dents like arrow wounds, and she cried behind his back.

Jiang Lanyue hugged her tightly and gently advised her: "Take good care of yourself and the child. I still like your chubby look, so don't lose weight anymore, okay."

The birth of the triplets caused her a lot of suffering. Even with proper postpartum care, she still lost a lot of weight.

Fan An chuckled and whispered, "I promise, when you come back, I will definitely become your beloved little fat boy."

He kissed her forehead gently.

"Giving birth to a child is so hard, we should exercise restraint in the next few years and put off having more children."

As the only son in two generations, he felt extremely satisfied that he had five children thanks to her, four of whom were boys.

Fan An naturally nodded in agreement and hugged his neck tightly.

She has enough energy and doesn't need to have any more cubs.

"Jiang Lanyue, I'll wait for you to come back."

He nodded vigorously, kissed her goodbye affectionately, then turned around and walked away resolutely.

The recovery of the southwest region progressed rapidly as expected.

After the situation in the southwest stabilized, Jiang Lanyue led his troops northward, clearing obstacles and pacifying various places along the way until returning to the imperial city.

After several years of chaos and war, the country was desolate everywhere and people's livelihood was in decline.

The old marquis fell ill, and the prince stayed by his bedside, taking care of him without taking off his clothes.

"Yue'er...it's time...to ascend the throne."

Jiang Lanyue shook his head and replied, "Grandpa or father should ascend the throne. Now that the four directions have been initially settled, there are still hidden dangers. I still need to lead the army south."

The old marquis and the prince insisted that he ascend the throne first, and then promulgate new laws to allow all places to recuperate and encourage the revitalization of people's livelihood.

After careful consideration, Jiang Lanyue first promulgated new policies and laws, distributing land to the people, reducing taxes for five years, and retaining the imperial examination system, which only considered talent, regardless of wealth.

As soon as the decree was announced, the people were delighted and scholars and writers praised it.

The new policy quickly won the hearts of the people.

A year later, Jiang Lanyue went south in person to bring back his mother, wife and children, and moved into the palace together.

After settling down, with the support of the old marquis and a group of ministers, Jiang Lanyue successfully ascended the throne and became emperor.

The new emperor respected the old marquis as the Great Ancestor, his father as the Supreme Emperor, his stepmother as the Empress Dowager, and the Crown Prince's wife naturally became the Empress.

Xiao Ling'er was named the honorable eldest princess, Xiao Ming'er became the crown prince, and the other three younger sons were also named kings.

In addition, Jiang Lanyue also rewarded many generals who had followed him in his battles, and appointed He Yu as the left prime minister and his uncle Fan Muqing as the right prime minister.

Although He Yu verbally refused to enter the government, saying that he only wanted to be a royal merchant and pursue wealth, he still felt very happy when others praised him as "the most talented man in the world, well-deserved!"

The old man of the Fan family was also conferred the title of honorary marquis, Mr. Fan became the father-in-law of the emperor, and Mrs. Fan was conferred the title of a first-rank lady.

After a busy period, the new emperor finally had time to relax. He left the children in the care of the retired emperor and the empress dowager, and quietly went out with the queen.

Sitting in the luxurious and spacious carriage, Fan An couldn't help but ask: "Jiang Lanyue, where are we going?"

In private, he still called her "Little Fatty" and she still called him by his full name as before.

He hugged her and replied with a smile: "I'll take you to reminisce."

"Memories of what?" she asked puzzledly.

He liked her coquettish look the most. He smiled lovingly and leaned over to kiss her little mouth.

"Didn't you say you forgot the first time we met? Seeing how confused you look, I can't let you forget."

So that’s it!
Fan An couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Isn't it just a favor I helped out at the time? Why do you have such a deep impression of it? I was still young at the time, how could I possibly remember so many things?"

He patted her buttocks and said in a pretend reproachful tone, "You can forget other things, but how could you forget such an important thing as our first meeting and getting engaged?"

She pretended to be pitiful and said with a smile: "Humph, you hit me...I won't pay attention to you."

He laughed out loud, rubbed the place where she had been hit with his big hands, and was reluctant to let go.

Although she is already a mother of five children, she is only eighteen years old. She has maintained a very good figure and is beautiful and charming, especially after giving birth, her figure has become even fuller.

The atmosphere in the carriage became ambiguous and sweet...

When they reached the suburban road, he led her out of the car and pointed to a place not far away and explained: "Back then, grandpa and I were trying to escape from the city, but we were blocked by heavy snow. Grandpa suddenly fell ill, and I was sleepy, tired, hungry, and confused. Just then, you and your grandpa drove over with a bullock cart..."

"You handed me a hot egg and called me 'brother' in a soft voice. I still remember the fragrance of that egg. It must be the most delicious meal I, Jiang Lanyue, have ever had in my life."

She couldn't help but giggle and said jokingly, "I used a small egg to buy the prince's true heart."

He looked at her in amusement, put her little hand to his mouth and bit it gently.

"It's about harvesting, not buying."

She chuckled and explained, "I originally thought that the first day of our wedding was the first time we met."

He stared into her eyes and whispered, "When I lifted the red veil, I saw your bright eyes and recognized you immediately. At that time, I didn't think too much about it. Maybe there is a destiny in the dark."

"God has let you, grandfather and grandson, help us. God has also let you come to my side, changing my original intention, changing the passive situation of Southwest Marquis Mansion, and changing my life from then on."

He hugged her, kissed her tender white cheek, and whispered: "Little Fatty, without your support and trust, I might still be in Qinan City, pretending to be a playboy."

She smiled sweetly, put her arms around his neck and rubbed it.

"Now, the dude prince no longer exists."

He hugged her tightly and whispered, "Whether it's the dandy prince or the high and mighty Majesty, our fate has long been decided here."

Later, on the occasion of Emperor Yue's fiftieth birthday, he abdicated the throne to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and traveled around the world with his beloved Queen.

In their later years, they moved to the southwest and chose to settle in a villa on the outskirts of the city.

Every evening, a pair of figures would appear on the country road: an elderly nobleman with white hair, holding the hand of a plump old woman, walking and talking slowly together.

The old man would turn his head from time to time and affectionately call the old woman "little fat girl"...

"Ding ding!" A long-lost voice sounded beside my ears, "Congratulations, Master, for completing the mission! The energy has been accumulated. Master, are you sure you want to detach and travel back directly?"

Fan An uttered one word firmly: "Yes."

"Master, please be ready, three, two, one!"
