About an hour later.
In the room of Yue Shen.
The room was cleaned cleanly, and the bedding on the bed was replaced with brand new ones. The light pink brocade glowed with a warm luster in the candlelight.
With the help of Yan Lingji, Ah Yin, Yan Fei and Da Siming, the four women worked together to clean Jing Ni and little A-Yan.
A basin of warm water was brought in and brought out again.
The baby's cries sounded intermittently, and were coaxed by gentle voices.
Yan Fei put on light makeup on Jing Ni, lightly traced her eyebrows, and applied a thin layer of rouge to make her look less pale.
Zhao Linchuan finally got "permission" to enter the house to visit his daughter.
He opened the door and walked very lightly.
He walked to the bed and his eyes fell on the small, pink ball of life held in Yan Lingji's arms.
Yan Lingji is holding little A-Yan at the moment, looking at her dotingly.
Her fingers gently played with the baby's little hand, which was only slightly larger than her thumb. Her fingers were curled up like a budding flower.
"Be careful."
When she saw Zhao Linchuan coming, her voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of waking the child, and then she carefully handed little A-Yan to Zhao Linchuan.
Zhao Linchuan took little A-Yan, held her head with one hand and her body with the other, holding her firmly in his arms.
He turned around and sat down on the edge of the bed, looking down at the little life in his arms.
Her skin is pink and soft, with a petal-like touch unique to newborns.
Her little mouth was slightly open, as if she was having a good dream.
He turned sideways and looked at Jing Ni, who had just finished giving birth and was still a little pale despite being lightly made up by Yan Fei, and said in a gentle tone:
"Madam, have you seen it? She is your beautiful successor."
"A-Yan..."
Jing Ni showed a motherly smile, which was as gentle as the warm sunshine in spring, dispelling the paleness and fatigue on her face.
She carefully reached out her hand, her fingertips trembling slightly, and lightly touched her cheek.
The touch was soft and warm, making her eyes turn slightly red.
Her voice was a little hoarse, and there was a bit of expectation in her tone.
"I hope she doesn't inherit my fate."
"Don't worry, madam." Zhao Linchuan said almost as if he was promising, "I will never allow our daughter to repeat that tragic fate."
"When she reaches adulthood, I will declare that she is my first heir."
"Our daughter... is so lucky." Jing Ni said softly, then slowly closed his weak eyes.
Her breathing gradually became steady, and she fell into sleep with a faint smile.
"Husband," Yan Lingji saw this and said softly, with a hint of consideration in his voice, "Jing Ni, sister is sleepy, it's time for you to leave."
"Leave?" Zhao Linchuan said with confusion, his brows furrowed slightly, his eyes jumping back and forth between Yan Lingji and Jing Ni, "But I just came in?"
"I haven't had a chance to be intimate with my daughter yet."
"Jing Ni Sister is too weak, let her have a good rest." Yan Lingji bent down and took the little A-Yan from Zhao Linchuan's arms.
Little A-Yan arched in her arms and became quiet again, as if looking for a more comfortable position.
"Let me stay, can't you do it if I don't speak?" Zhao Linchuan said in a bargaining manner, with a hint of pleading in his voice.
"Husband, please go out with your sisters first." Yan Lingji persuaded in a gentle tone, his eyes falling on Zhao Linchuan's face, "If you don't leave, they won't be willing to leave either."
"As the head of the family, you should set an example, right?"
"Okay then."
For the sake of his daughter, Zhao Linchuan had no choice but to give up.
He stood up reluctantly, but his eyes were still glued to that small figure, and he turned back three times and walked towards the door.
Bibi Dong and the others looked at Zhao Linchuan's appearance and couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle.
There was a hint of narrow-mindedness in the laughter that said, "You too have today" and a tenderness that said, "It turns out you also have such a lovely side."
They walked towards the door together, their steps brisk and gentle.
About two quarters of an hour later.
In the back hall.
The aroma of tea has not yet dissipated in the air, and a few freshly brewed teacups are still emitting a fine white vapor.
Bibi Dong, Zi Nu and others surrounded Zhao Linchuan who was sitting in the main seat and was about to drink tea.
"What do you want to do?"
Zhao Linchuan saw this and stopped drinking tea. He immediately sat up straight and looked at the expressions on the four women's faces with vigilance.
"Husband~~"
Bibi Dong took a step forward, reached out and took Zhao Linchuan's arm, and pressed his palm on her lower abdomen.
Her palms were warm and soft, and her tone was as delicate as the drizzle in spring.
"I also want to be a mother..."
"Then why are there so many of you gathered together?" Zhao Linchuan asked with raised eyebrows, his eyes scanning the faces of the girls.
"Sisters all want..."
Zi Nu said quite boldly, looking directly at Zhao Linchuan without even the slightest dodge.
"Please husband, please be more serious and give us a child."
(Shao Siming)
"Don't come over here!"
Zhao Linchuan leaned back with some "fear", his body sank into the back of the chair, his eyes flicked back and forth on the faces of the girls.
When these girls met before, they quarreled so much that the roof almost fell off.
If he hadn't told them the "big deal", these girls would probably have torn Tianyang Ancient City apart.
It has only been a few days, why are you suddenly wearing a pair of pants?
"Husband, don't be afraid~~" Yue Shen said soothingly.
She took half a step forward, folded her hands in front of her lower abdomen, and looked at Zhao Linchuan's face.
"We sisters have already discussed it. We are all a family anyway, so there is no need to quarrel."
"The right way is to concentrate on dealing with that 'enemy' in your mouth."
"In order to deal with that 'enemy' in your mouth..." Yan Fei interjected at this time, "Please husband, please leave some more seeds..."
After autumn and winter comes spring and summer, and after spring and summer comes autumn and winter.
Day after day, year after year, the four seasons keep reincarnating.
As if in the blink of an eye, more than a thousand days and nights passed quietly.
In the past three years or so, the arms race between the Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire Two Great Empires has intensified. Although the border war has not been ignited, the national treasury has become increasingly empty.
Taxes are getting heavier every year, and people's lives are getting worse day by day.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of food in this continent, and although there are many hungry people, it has not caused any major troubles.
Occasionally, some rogue bandits and small groups rebelled, but they were quickly suppressed by Two Great Empires's troops, and there was no trouble.
On the Clear Sky Sect's side, Tang Hao was forced to practice in seclusion within the sect by his father Tang Zhen because his brother Tang Xiao was deposed, so he was unable to go to Slaughter City for the trial.
Divine Slaughter's Domain, this creation that was supposed to belong to him has come to nothing.
