Chapter 1626 - 1627: Lost Eyes and... Heart

...

An Jing previously gave birth to four sons in one go, and now she has given birth to another three sons. Other than Ye Zhi, all the women here envy An Jing’s good fortune; two pregnancies have resulted in so many sons.

As the King of Xiyun, Xiao Changyi now has three more sons. It’s a great joy for everyone in Xiyun, and as soon as Su Chengyu heard the news, he immediately announced a one-year tax reduction.

Previously, the children’s full moon banquets were held on a small scale, but now that Xiao Changyi is the King of Xiyun, considered equal to the Emperor of Xiyun, it’s impossible to hold a small one.

Therefore, the full moon banquet for the three children was particularly grand, organized by the Ministry of Rites.

Originally, the national treasury should have paid for this full moon banquet since the three children are prince highnesses. However, An Jing and Xiao Changyi did not take a single penny from the national treasury but paid for it themselves.

An Jing and Xiao Changyi hoped to use the treasury’s funds more wisely.

Qi Tengfei led a 200,000-strong army to Beihe and could go to war with Dongqing at any time. War is very costly, and the treasury is not so abundant in silver and grain, so even though the treasury should logically bear the cost, they refused the treasury’s money.

Actually, this money wasn’t exactly from An Jing and Xiao Changyi themselves. Instead, Xiao Changyi took two priceless treasures from Su Yixing’s private stash and sold them. The money from the sale not only covered the grand full moon banquet but had some left over.

Su Yixing was heartbroken over losing two treasures.

At the full moon banquet for the three children, Su Chengyu and Gong Juechen met again, but neither spoke a word to the other.

If Su Chengyu had not killed Gong Juechen’s maternal family’s five clans, Ye Zhi might not have harbored resentment towards Su Chengyu. However, since Su Chengyu killed Gong Juechen’s maternal family’s five clans, Ye Zhi, out of concern for Gong Juechen, now harbors some resentment towards Su Chengyu.

So, after eating at the full moon banquet, Ye Zhi asked Gong Juechen to help her home.

Because she did not want to see Su Chengyu, and even more so, she didn’t want her husband to see Su Chengyu.

Su Chengyu, sitting at a high place, watched from afar as Gong Juechen helped Ye Zhi away, feeling somewhat conflicted inside.

Xiao Changyi happened to pass by him and said, "The seat you’re sitting in is the easiest to lose your sight and... heart."

Without saying much more, after this one sentence, Xiao Changyi walked past Su Chengyu.

Su Chengyu watched Xiao Changyi walk farther and farther away, murmuring to himself, "Has it really been me who changed? I’ve always thought it was you, Brother Yi..."

...

The full moon banquet for the three children was held on October 15th. On October 3rd, both Li Wuyu and Gong Juese gave birth on the same day; Li Wuyu had a girl, and Gong Juese had a boy.

Even though Li Wuyu had a girl, Wang Youbao was still particularly happy and continued to dote on Li Wuyu even more.

Now, Prime Minister Li is increasingly satisfied with his son-in-law Wang Youbao.

And on October 11th, Du Aya also gave birth to a son.

...

In the blink of an eye, An Jing had been in confinement for two months. Although it was supposed to be confinement, An Jing didn’t lie in bed all day but would join Xiao Changyi in taking care of their three little babies.

As soon as Jing Xingqingyun came home from school, he would come to play with the three babies.

The three babies really liked their four brothers, Jing Xingqingyun. No matter how Jing Xingqingyun played with them, they would always smile widely, extremely adorable.

The three babies were fair and tender, and in just two short months, their eyebrows and eyes became even more delicate. If it weren’t for knowing that the three babies were boys, at first glance, one might mistake them for girls.
