Shangguan Ruoli couldn't laugh or cry, these reasons were too simple and crude.

However, facing the innocent and pure eyes of the children, Shangguan Ruoli felt a little soft-hearted.

He coughed lightly and said, "I don't have the final say on this matter. I need your father's cooperation."

Dongming Ziyu has always maintained the image of a strict father in front of the children, but let him take care of these little carrots.

Ling Yao studied medicine, and she learned it from Bai Qingqing, a person from the future, so she naturally knew how fetuses were born.

So, he said solemnly: "Indeed, the father has the final say on this matter, and the birth of a boy or a girl also depends on the father."

"Then I'll go find my father!" Jingyang said this and ran out.

Jing Xi raised her legs and followed behind, "Wait for me! Wait for me!"

Ling Yao pouted, "You were pretending to be a grown-up just now, aren't you acting like a little kid now?"

Shangguan Ruoli laughed and said, "You are talking as if you are not a little brat."

"I will be nine years old in a few days, so of course I am no longer a child!" Ling Yao said, raising her chin slightly.

It looks like I have grown up and I am very proud.

Shangguan Ruoli also felt happy and proud of having a daughter in our family. He held her in his arms and lovingly combed her bun with his fingers, "I wonder if Jing Yu will come back to celebrate her birthday?"

In the past few years, Jing Yu has never come back on his birthday. He usually comes back on his brothers' birthdays, Dongming Ziyu or Shangguan Ruoli's birthdays, or during the Chinese New Year.

Ling Yao snuggled into Shangguan Ruoli's arms and felt a sense of sadness, "It's already September, I think my brother should come back before the year."

Shangguan Ruoli kissed her and said happily: "One of you is the eldest sister and the other is the eldest brother. You are the most capable. I have suffered a lot for you."

Their identities require them to bear more responsibilities, which means they are destined not to have a carefree childhood like ordinary children.

Jing Yu studied arts and traveled with Master Huiming, and Ling Yao was not idle at home either. She practiced martial arts and medicine, and like other noble ladies from aristocratic families, she also learned poetry, etiquette, chess, calligraphy and painting.

No matter where she stands, she is the most outstanding.

Of course, this is not just because she looks good, but mainly because her temperament is different from those of the ladies in purdah.

Ling Yao studied medicine with Bai Qingqing since she was a child, and was influenced by Shangguan Ruoli. Being influenced by these two time-travelers, Ling Yao naturally carries the confidence, intellectuality, freedom and grandeur of modern women.

In addition, he has practiced martial arts with Xiao Fei since he was a child, and he has the boldness and unruliness of Jianghu people.

Normally, she is taught by well-behaved ladies like Zhong Lingran and Wu Qianli, and she still has the grace and elegance of a well-known lady.

Also, she is a born noble, with innate nobility and pride. She is calm and calm in everything she encounters...

The combination of all kinds of temperaments makes her special and outstanding. No need to say anything, she is a dazzling presence wherever she stands.

The key is still a caring little cotton-padded jacket. She said softly: "We are not bitter. Only by enduring more hardship can we be strong and protect our father, mother and concubines. At least, we cannot be a drag on our father and mother."

"Silly boy, what are you talking about being a drag? Father, my mother and concubine will be responsible for you after giving birth to you!" Shangguan Ruoli hugged Ling Yao tightly.

This child is born with precocious intelligence.

Extreme wisdom must be injured. In a certain sense, isn't early wisdom a kind of injury?

Mother and daughter were having a heart-to-heart talk, and the two young ladies, Jing Xi and Jing Yang, had already rushed to the front study like a whirlwind.

They had used the Meridian Cleansing and Marrow Pill since they were young, and began to walk and practice martial arts as soon as they could walk. The maids and mothers around them could not catch up with them.

Seeing Mo Xiang standing guard outside the front study, they shouted: "Go and report that we want to see our father!"

Dongming Ziyu was discussing with a room of staff and subordinates when he heard the childish and loud voices of two little buns.

"Let them go play elsewhere..." Before he could finish speaking, two young ladies had already rushed in.

Pulling his sleeves from left to right, shaking him coquettishly.

Jingyang twisted his little body and said softly: "Father, I want to be a brother, and I want a sister! Mother and Concubine asked us to come to you, and you have the final say on this matter."

Jing Xi's eyes turned and said: "Father, my mother and concubine have agreed, but she said this requires your cooperation!"

Did the mother-in-law agree? Jingyang rolled his eyes, but did not immediately expose his lying brother.

However, privately he wanted to tell his brother that a good boy cannot lie.

All the elders in the room instantly suppressed their laughter and looked at Dongming Ziyu, wondering how their cold-faced prince would answer such a question.

Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli had already decided not to have any more children, so he naturally knew the tricks of the two little ones.

However, we are busy talking about business now, and we don’t have time to do ideological work with the two little guys.

So, he said: "I know this, and I will consider it. You go back and do your homework first."

When Jing Xi heard this, he immediately turned into maltose and pestered Dongming Ziyu, "No, you should consider it now!"

Dongming Ziyu's face darkened and his voice became serious, "Go back!"

Jing Xi was stunned, and Dongming Ziyu got angry. He was so scared that he quickly loosened his sleeves, and tears of grievance rolled down instantly.

Jingyang was so frightened that he let go of his father's sleeves, blinked his big eyes, and looked like he was about to cry.

Seeing his son's cute and pitiful look, Dongming Ziyu softened his heart and said helplessly: "Okay, you go back first. I will discuss this matter with your mother and concubine when I get back."

The two little ones immediately fell in love with each other and cheered happily, "Oh! That's great! We are going to have a sister!"

After saying that, they held hands and skipped away.

As we walked, we also discussed what to name our little sister.

Dongming Ziyu couldn't help but sigh: "It's true that children are all debts."

Zhui Feng smiled and said: "No, I don't know what strange questions they will ask. I was so scared that I didn't dare to go back until they fell asleep."

Wang Feng and several subordinates with children felt the same way and started laughing.

After laughing, let’s get down to business.

Zhui Feng said: "Your Majesty, I just received news that Xirong and Beiling have joined forces to invade Dongming. They must first recapture four trading towns such as Mozhen and Lingcheng. Shangguan Tianxiao was sent to the northwest border to fight against Xirong and Beiling.

The imperial court also sent Queen Zhao’s brother Zhao Pansheng to Linzhou to take over the southern border garrison.”

The general of the garrison in Linzhou was from Dongming Ziyu, so Zhao Pansheng was obviously here to guard against Dongming Ziyu.

Wang Feng sighed: "The days of peace have passed."

Dongming Ziyu asked: "How did the capital respond to the disappearance of the emperor? Who issued this series of orders?"

Mo Wenzhen reported: "I have just received urgent news that the Queen Mother's party has supported Her Majesty the Tenth Prince as the Crown Prince's younger brother, and His Majesty the Tenth Prince has been appointed Regent."

"The crown prince?" Dongming Ziyu had a bad feeling, "How many princes are there?"
