CHAPTER 1629: CHAPTER 1630: WHAT’S EVEN BETTER IS NOW, AND TOMORROW TOO

After Su Chengyu left, An Jing finally smiled at Xiao Changyi and said, "Husband, you don’t need to go to battle anymore. You can stay with me through my postpartum period~ and we can take care of our three little beauties together~"

Xiao Changyi’s lips curved slightly: "You are the big beauty."

"Haha, only you say I’m beautiful."

"In my heart, you are the most beautiful." He said it very seriously.

"We’ve been an old married couple; no need to sweet-talk me." An Jing said this, but her expression didn’t match her words; she looked particularly happy, particularly delighted.

It was evident that she actually quite liked her husband’s heartfelt sweet words.

...

Before the imperial family of Beihe arrived at the Imperial Capital, Ye Zhi gave birth to a daughter, and Gong Juechen was so happy he held their daughter and both cried and laughed.

The day Ye Zhi gave birth was the tenth of December.

Although Ye Zhi was weak from childbirth, she didn’t faint and was lying on the bed.

Seeing Gong Juechen happily holding the baby, sitting by the bed, both crying and laughing, Ye Zhi couldn’t help but feel a sense of warmth in her eyes, and tears burst forth.

At that moment, she didn’t think Gong Juechen was unmanly at all. On the contrary, her husband was so manly, and she... felt sorry for her husband.

If her husband wasn’t Su Chenglin, how great would that be? He wouldn’t have suffered so much back then, and now he wouldn’t have to be constantly wary of Su Chengyu.

"Zhizhi, why are you crying?" As soon as Gong Juechen saw Ye Zhi crying, he became anxious, hurriedly put down the baby, and took a handkerchief to wipe Ye Zhi’s tears quickly.

Ye Zhi let him wipe away her tears and said with a smile, "I’m happy." After a pause, she added, "We finally have a child; you’re a father now."

"Yes, yes." Gong Juechen, after wiping Ye Zhi’s tears, happily kissed her, then picked up the baby again, talking to Ye Zhi while playing with the baby.

Neither of them cried again. For them, the present and the future were brighter and better.

...

The day after Ye Zhi gave birth, the imperial family of Beihe arrived, bringing many gifts to present to the Emperor and King of Xiyun.

On this day, King of Xiyun, Xiao Changyi, unusually came to the Assembly Hall and, together with Su Chengyu, sat high on the Jade Steps to receive the obeisance of the imperial family of Beihe.

The Emperor of Beihe was granted the title of Prince in Xiyun, with the title King of Beihe.

That night, Su Chengyu specially hosted a banquet to welcome them, truly giving the King of Beihe a lot of respect.

At the banquet, Su Muchen, the Crown Prince of Xiyun, and Murong Ling, the youngest daughter of the King of Beihe, developed an affection for each other.

Su Muchen was already approaching fifteen years old, and as the Crown Prince, it was time for him to have a Crown Princess Consort. Seeing that Su Muchen had taken a liking to Murong Ling, and hearing good things about Murong Ling’s character, Su Chengyu immediately granted the marriage, appointing Murong Ling as the Crown Princess Consort, with the wedding date to be selected in due course.

The King of Beihe had been somewhat worried, fearing Su Chengyu would only be good to his family initially and gradually less so later. After all, appearances must be kept, but seeing Su Chengyu betroth his youngest daughter to Su Muchen, he immediately felt reassured as if taking a calming pill, completely at ease.

...

Because An Jing needed to complete three months of postpartum recovery, and there were still four days left, meaning she had not yet completed the full period, she did not attend the banquet Su Chengyu hosted today.

Jing Xingqingyun did not attend either but instead stayed at home to play with their three little beauties.

Only Xiao Changyi attended alone.

As soon as Xiao Changyi returned, he told An Jing about Su Chengyu granting the marriage, and An Jing immediately smiled: "Time really flies; Muchen can get married now."
