As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Xie Changqing nodded, squeezed the child's little hand awkwardly, and then pinched the child's face.

Yuanxiao grinned with each pinch, and then started giggling non-stop. He hugged Xie Changqing's neck with both hands. He looked at Mr. Yu, "Uncle too?"

Xie Changqing corrected: "It's dad."

"father?"

Yuan Xiao shouted blankly, looking at Yu and then at Xie Changqing.

Yu stepped forward and patted the child's head gently, "It's daddy, please call."

"Hmm..." Yuanxiao moved her mouth forward, kissed Xie Changqing on the cheek, and called with a giggle: "Daddy!"

Such a young child actually doesn't understand the difference between father and uncle.

But this shout was extremely cute and sweet.

As Xie Changqing listened, he felt as if a piece of ice was melting in his heart. It was really difficult to express this feeling clearly in words.

"The children are very well-behaved." Mrs. Yu looked at the father and son and sighed softly, "You... you are not young anymore. Live your life well and don't let others worry about you anymore."

Xie Changqing nodded heavily and hugged the child tightly.

He turned to Mrs. Yu and said seriously: "Thank you, mother, for taking care of me. I know it well."

Mrs. Yu decisively stopped talking and knelt down to tease Xiao Jiayi.

Jiayi was a few months older than Yuanxiao. Seeing Xie Changqing hugging Yuanxiao, she pulled Yu's hand: "I want daddy to hold her too."

Children's minds are always simple and naive.

Xiao Jiayi obviously classified dad and uncle as the same title.

She and Yuanxiao were rolling together every day again. She had all the Yuanxiao she had, and she had all the Yuanxiao she had.

Now that Yuanxiao has an extra father, of course he is also his.

Mrs. Yu picked her up, patted her gently and coaxed her: "Your father will be back during the Chinese New Year, very soon."

"Dad..." Jiayi stretched out her hand towards Xie Changqing, but Yu took him two steps further away, so naturally she couldn't reach him.

Xiao Jiayi watched helplessly.

It turns out that father is not everyone's, what's my brother's is my brother's, and what's hers is hers.

……

Although the state guest envoy said before, His Majesty has decreed that Changqing does not need to go to the palace to reply.

But whether it was for his duties as a monarch or to visit his sister, Xie Changqing thought he had to go to the palace.

So he played with Yuanxiao for a while, and after the child fell asleep, Xie Changqing went to the palace.

Although he is the second son of the Xie family, he has been stationed in Yaocheng for many years and plays an important role in the court. However, he has been almost absent from the capital in these years, and the number of times he has been in the palace is even less.

Now that I have entered the magnificent Fengyi Palace, I feel an extremely unreal feeling when I see the young girl walking towards me with the female officials and palace maids.

The lively and smart little girl back then has become the queen who is dignified, steady and respectful to the world now.

"Second brother."

Xie Zhaozhao smiled and waved to everyone on the left and right to leave, and greeted Xie Changqing: "Sit down, we are all family members, let's talk!"

Xie Changqing's eyes flashed and he came back to his senses.

I wanted to salute my little sister, but I felt that it was just a pretense, and now there was no outsider.

He calmed down his thoughts, lifted up his robe and sat down.

Xie Zhaozhao was dressed lightly today, giving him a homey and easy-going feel, and he was also very close to Xie Changqing.

Xie Changqing thanked her first.

Xie Zhaozhao and Xie Jiajia accounted for most of the things given to Shalan.

Among the two, Xie Zhaozhao was the more thoughtful.

Xie Zhaozhao said with a smile: "Second brother is so polite, isn't that just out of touch? It's just a little effort for my brothers and sisters."

Xie Changqing had nothing to say. The two chatted for a while, and Xie Zhaozhao asked, "Have you seen the child?"

"Ah."

"So second brother, will you get married when you come back this time? I heard that you held an interracial wedding on the island. It was very grand and beautiful."

"to make."

Xie Changqing replied subconsciously, then paused and said, "I'll ask her after the diplomatic issues are settled."

Xie Zhaozhao chuckled: "Why, the second brother is afraid that the princess will not be happy?"

"It's not that...she's a little lazy, maybe she thinks it would be more troublesome to do it again." Xie Changqing took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Let's ask before we talk."

Xie Zhaozhao thought to himself, "Lazy, that's not the same temperament as the third sister."

But I feel like there are many differences between Shalan’s laziness and Third Sister’s laziness.

After sitting with Xie Zhaozhao for two-quarters of an hour, word came from Yulongtai that Yun Qi had finished handling government affairs.

Xie Zhaozhao accompanied Xie Changqing.

Before leaving the main hall of Fengyi Palace, Xie Changqing asked: "Don't you want to dress up, little sister?"

"No, I've always been like this." Xie Zhaozhao smiled and said, "It's not that I knew my second brother was coming today, so I dressed so casually."

After she and Yun Qi entered the palace, she would wear the queen's crown except for major festivals and sacrificial occasions. The rest of the time, she would always wear light clothes. This harem was not a harem to her.

He just changed places to live with Yun Qi.

There are countless concubines who need her to maintain the majesty of the queen at all times and remind those women who is the concubine and who is the concubine.

She is the unique Empress Zhaode. She relies on her own abilities, the support of her family, and the emperor's affection to stand firm in the imperial city.

Xie Changqing's eyes softened slightly, "That's good."

The two went to Yulongtai to meet Yun Qi.

Xie Changqing was away from the capital for a long time and saw Yun Qi very rarely.

But he felt that every time he saw Yun Qi, Yun Qi seemed to be different.

I remember that the last time Xie Changqing took a serious look at Yun Qi was when Yun Qi and Xie Zhaozhao were invited to get married at the New Year's Eve banquet. At that time, Yun Qi was very handsome and had an exposed edge.

But now that we meet again, I feel that all the sharp edges in Yun Qi's body have subsided and become deeper and more steady.

Xie Changqing felt that Yun Qi was a bit more elusive than him now, and he was obviously much older than Yun Qi.

Perhaps this is the imperial style infiltrated by power.

But Yun Qi's attitude towards Xie Zhaozhao has never changed. What it was like before is still the same now, or... is it a bit more sticky now than before?

After meeting Xie Changqing, Yun Qi asked him some official and private questions.

Then he was given a reward and allowed Xie Changqing to return home to rest.

Xie Changqing looked at Yun Qi's hand reaching for Xie Zhaozhao, and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

Do all men behave the same way at this time?

Then Xie Changqing didn't waste any time, and neatly resigned and went home!

……

After returning home, I came out of the palace and went to see the Lantern Festival again.

Yuan Xiao has a very good memory. She only met him once during the day, but she knew that Xie Changqing was his "father".

As soon as Xie Changqing appeared, he ran over and reached out for a hug.

The little Jiayi who was provoked stared at him eagerly, her long eyelashes flickering, and she also reached out towards Xie Changqing.

Xie Changqing was in a rare good mood, and just like Xie Changyuan, he picked up the two children with one in his left hand and one in his right hand and played with them for a while.

Children are playful by nature and have just learned to walk.

After Xie Changqing gave them a hug, the two children swung their legs to run down again, and then fell asleep when they were tired from running.

Xie Changqing returned to his yard, but after lying down, he could not fall asleep. (End of chapter)
