"Probably not. Although he is somewhat suspicious of me, he is a good king after all."

Song Jiuyuan's duty is to train a good king, so as long as the emperor always serves the country and the people, he will not give up his bottom line.

"That's good."

Jiang Wan was relieved, but still a little unhappy, "We just got back home and he's here.

This means that he has sent people to monitor our every move."

"It's normal for an emperor to be suspicious."

Song Jiuyuan, on the other hand, didn't think anything of it because he was also on guard.

I just returned to Beijing and was exhausted from the journey, although many people sent me invitations and came to visit me.

But they were all rejected by Jiang Wan.

She was really tired of dealing with all these, but fortunately, both she and Song Jiuyuan had high status and would not offend anyone.

After resting at home for most of the day, Jiang Wan dressed the children in newly cut clothes the next day.

Now Xiaoshu and Xinxin are two years old. They look chubby, very cute and adorable.

The child in Song Jiuchi's family is younger, but he can already walk unsteadily now.

Only Cancan still needed to be held, but Song Jiuli brought a wet nurse, who took good care of Cancan by her side.

The group had just left the palace and had not yet boarded the carriage when a familiar figure rushed over.

"Greetings, Prince and Princess. I missed Qiqi, so I wanted to enter the palace with you."

It turned out to be Mrs. Chu.

I haven't seen her for a long time. She seems to have become more haggard and has some white hair.

Chu Qi, who was somewhat estranged from her, felt a little sad in his heart and didn't know what to do for a moment.

I guess my mother and my cousin Huazhen must have been fighting each other these days.

Mrs. Chu walked a few steps to Chu Qi's side and happily hugged Jin Yu.

"Jinyu, grandma misses you so much."

She is always like this, without any change. Chu Qi hugged her daughter Mianmian with heartache.

"mother."

Why does her mother always ignore Mianmian?

"Grandma."

Jinyu called out obediently, but Mianmian said nothing and just curled up in Chu Qi's arms.

"Hey, Jinyu is still smart."

Mrs. Chu thought that boys are smarter. Mianmian looks silly and not sweet-mouthed.

Not as pleasing as Jinyu.

"You and your mother can take the children in the carriage, and I can ride on horseback."

Song Jiuchi also felt uncomfortable, but after all, she was his mother-in-law, so he could only suppress his dissatisfaction in his heart.

I'd better leave this opportunity to confront others to my wife.

"Okay, uncle is considerate."

Mrs. Chu happily carried Jinyu into the carriage, and Chu Qi smiled at Jiang Wan and followed her into the carriage.

Song Jiuyuan was afraid that Jiang Wan would be too tired to take care of two children alone, so he also got in the carriage.

However, Muxiang and Ruoshui were not interested in this, and the emperor did not ask them to enter the palace, so they did not go.

In the carriage, Chu Qi fed Mianmian a small piece of cake with concern and remained silent.

Mrs. Chu wiped her eyes and said, "Qiqi, are you still angry with your mother?"

Seeing Chu Qi's indifferent attitude, Mrs. Chu said angrily:

"It was my fault in the past. We are all women, and I never understood you.

Ever since your cousin married into the Chu family, your father..."

When talking about Father Chu, Mrs. Chu burst into tears, "After all, the new ones are not as good as the old ones.

Fortunately, I still have you and your brother, so my position is not in jeopardy, but my life is miserable now."

Chu Qi wanted to say that you deserve this.

But she held back.

After all, she was her mother who gave birth to her, so why should she keep feeling sad?

“This time when you return to Beijing, I won’t ask you to help me drive Hua Zhen away.

Now even your uncle and aunt are weighing the pros and cons. As long as I am alive, she will be a concubine."

Madam Chu snorted coldly, "It's just that I hope you can help check your brother's marriage.

After all, you are siblings, and your brother has always respected you."

Speaking of Chu Ge, Chu Qi felt a little soft-hearted. After all, this younger brother had always treated him very well.

The relationship between the siblings is also very good.

"Don't worry, if there is a suitable girl, I will give it to you for reference."

Chu Qi did not refuse this request, Chu Ge deserves a good girl.

Hearing her agreement, Mrs. Chu was delighted and wiped her tears happily.

"Qiqi, I was wrong before. I'm really happy that you can agree to my request."

"mother."

Mianmian called "mother" softly, and only then did Mrs. Chu notice that Chu Qi had been holding Mianmian gently in his arms.

She forced a smile, "Mianmian looks exactly like you when you were a child."

Chu Qi suspected that she had long forgotten what she looked like as a child, so she didn't say anything.

She didn't want to give the impression that she was talking back to her mother in front of her children.

In the carriage next to her, Jiang Wan was a little worried about Chu Qi, “Mrs. Chu has a bad temper.

I always make Qiqi unhappy. I hope you can be more sensible this time."

"She probably wouldn't dare to do that now."

Song Jiuyuan was certain, “After all, Father Chu and Hua Zhen have a very good relationship.

Mrs. Chu’s position in the Chu family is not as high as before, and she can only rely on her two children to consolidate her position.”

So she couldn't and dared not to make Chu Qi angry again.

"It is easy to change the country but difficult to change one's nature."

Jiang Wan sighed, Xinxin tilted her head and asked curiously:

"Isn't that Second Aunt's mother? Doesn't Second Aunt's mother like Second Aunt?"

"Nothing."

Jiang Wan gently rubbed the top of Xinxin's head, "Second Aunt had a small conflict with her mother before."

"Mothers should love their daughters."

Xinxin smiled and threw herself into Jiang Wan's arms, "It's as if mother likes me very much."

"Yes, yes, yes, mother likes you the most."

Jiang Wan caught a glimpse of Xiaoshu's jealous frown and quickly added, "I like Xiaoshu the most, too.

You are all my favorite people."

"What about dad?"

Xinxin got to the bottom of the matter, which moved Song Jiuyuan deeply. He thought his daughter was so nice and always remembered him.

"Your father is naturally a very important person to your mother."

Jiang Wan glanced at Song Jiuyuan and touched Xinxin's nose lovingly.

The two children came to Kyoto for the first time. They curiously lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the bustling streets outside.

"so many people."

Xinxin's babyish words made Jiang Wan's heart soften, and she couldn't help but look outside.

This Xiaoliu is indeed a good emperor, and the people of Kyoto live and work in peace and contentment.

They soon passed the main street and arrived at the gate of the palace. Carriages were not allowed to enter the palace, so Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan got off the carriage holding the children.

Many noble ladies and daughters had already arrived at the palace gate. When they caught a glimpse of the family of four, they were all surprised.

"Is this the famous God of War?"

"Yes, they are really handsome, and their children are also very good-looking."

"Only someone like the princess can be worthy of the prince."

"..."

A eunuch was waiting at the front, and Eunuch Zhou stepped forward respectfully.

"Your Highness, Princess, the Emperor has ordered us to come and pick you up personally. Please follow us."

"Second brother, take good care of your wife and children and Jiuli's mother and daughter."

Before leaving, Jiang Wan gave Song Jiuchi an instruction, and Song Jiuchi nodded with a serious expression.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I know my limits."

Song Jiuchi is not stupid. He knows that there are many enemies in Kyoto, but they are all well hidden.
