Childbearing system: The royal family is shocked to see their offspring wither away!

"But... Mother, why did you put us in the palace?"

"Do you want to go out?"

"Are you going to take your brothers and sisters out?"

Chen Zhining shook his head and smiled at them.

"Mother is indeed going out, but she is not taking my brothers and sisters with her."

"Mother, we need to go to Yongzhou to find your father."

"You have to listen to your brothers and sisters at home."

"Brother and sister will also stay in the palace with you. When you have nothing to do, go play with them, and then find Le'er to play with you."

She didn't mention looking for her brothers.

Zhao Jia and Wen Guang are both grown-up children, so naturally they would not tell Prince Qi and Prince Lin about this matter.

Zhao Jia and Wen Guang may know about this, but Wen Qing and Wen Yan are still young, so it is better not to tell them for the time being.

The two children didn't think too much about it. They nodded and spoke happily.

"I understand, concubine."

"If you want to go look for the Emperor, then we will give you all the letters I have written to him during this period, and you can take them to him."

"Okay."

Chen Zhining nodded. The children still missed Jiang Zhao very much.

Over the years, they have sent many things to Jiang Zhao, including letters and small items, which all represent their longing for him.

There was also a plate of egg fried rice that was so full of maggots that it was also the children's masterpiece.

Sometimes, Chen Zhining wanted to pry open the children's skulls and take a look at their heads to see what they were thinking.

Chen Zhining shook his head and sighed. These children are all extremely smart.

She knew that it was a good decision to invite Master Kong Kong and Prince Consort Wu's younger brother.

Since they were invited here, they have been like wild horses that have broken free from their reins and are finally tied up with a rope.

Although their every move is full of the liveliness and childishness of children, they actually know the rules and are truly sensible.

Chen Zhining glanced at the four children, feeling a little reluctant.

When the Queen Mother looked into Chen Zhining's eyes, she knew that she was very reluctant to part with her child.

Alas, if it were me, I would also be reluctant to leave my five children.

However, it had to go to the border to find Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining's two children, so it had to leave these children in the palace.

The Queen Mother smiled at Chen Zhining and said, "Since I can't go with you, I will help you take good care of the child."

"The eldest, the second one will be looked after by the queen."

"The Queen is already weak, so she won't be too worried about taking care of the two older children."

"... As for the third and fourth sons, they should stay in my palace with the fifth son."

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "There is enough space in my palace to accommodate many children. There are plenty of places in the side halls."

It's mainly in the Queen's Palace, and maybe there are concubines coming in and out.

That would be really troublesome.

In the Empress Dowager's palace, concubines generally did not dare to enter or leave at will.

Chen Zhining also understood what the Queen Mother meant.

She was afraid that some concubines would say something bad to the children, or sow discord among them, or make the children unhappy, which would be troublesome.

The Queen Mother's considerations are still very comprehensive.

The queen thought for a while, then bowed to the queen mother and said, "Mother, you have thought it through very carefully."

"It's just that, isn't it a bit too tiring?"

"What are you working so hard for?"

The Queen Mother waved her hands and smiled at her, "At worst, I can just call Master Kong Kong into the palace to study Buddhism with me, and let Master Kong Kong look after the child."

"Otherwise... have the prince come and take the children away and put them in his palace."

"Anyway, Le'er is about the same age as them."

"..."

Hearing this, Chen Zhining was amused. "Then I'm afraid the prince will be very busy if all the children are left to take care of."

You know, the children had made fried rice with egg for their uncle Chen Bo, and also for the prince, who was very kind to them.

Not only the crown prince, but even the second prince has it.

They ate so much that they were jumping up and down, vomiting and having diarrhea. For three whole days, the people in the Imperial Hospital were busy all the time.

I was busy treating them.

"...That's fine too. Leave the children to the prince and let him take care of them."

The Queen Mother and the Empress said with a smile: "Don't worry, there are so many people in our palace, the child will be fine."

"When you leave, the best they can do is think about you."

"But if they miss you, we can call their aunt, Princess Pingnan, into the palace."

"I guess... I don't want to think about it. Pingnan is there to play with them."

Since Chen Zhining gave birth to her child, Princess Pingnan has often come back to accompany Chen Zhining and her children.

She is like a wet nurse, and her job is so hard.

It’s her fault that her brother is now at the border and can’t come back. He even almost died before.

Princess Pingnan thought that in the future, she, as an aunt, would have to be the father of these children and would have to be busy.

Later, even though Jiang Zhao was no longer a living dead, she still helped him out a lot.

Jiang Zhao is not in Kyoto, so what's the difference between him and death? I should help Chen Zhining's sister-in-law more.

Anyway, the children also liked Princess Pingnan very much. Although she was a little fierce, she was as kind to them as their mother.

He is about the same age as my mother.

Chen Zhining naturally believed them, but...after all, it was the first time she had left so many children behind, and she was still worried.

After all, I can't let go.

Even though I know the children have grown up, I still feel sad.

She repeatedly told the children, "When you are in the palace, you must not cause trouble to the Queen Mother, the Queen, His Majesty, and the Crown Prince. Do you understand?"

"I know, I know."

"Don't worry, mother."

They said in unison.

"Ah."

Chen Zhining nodded, and after that, what he was most worried about was his little daughter.

My little daughter is very sensible and silly, and she stays there obediently every day.

After Chen Zhining's eldest daughter Zhaojia grew up, she held her younger daughter in her arms. The two of them were like conjoined twins and were rarely separated.

But today, Zhao Jia saw the little girl sleeping, so he came over to talk to the Queen Mother and the others.

At this moment, Chen Zhining asked Li Niang to bring little Zhaoyang over.

Afterwards, Zhaoyang was accidentally woken up.

Chen Zhining looked at little Zhaoyang's cute pink face and felt a little sad.
