Five Years Later
"Father, Empress Dowager!" A little boy shouted while running, his face full of joy, with the eunuchs closely following behind, afraid that their young master might get hurt.
Mu Junqi smiled at the boy in front of him and gently said, "Han Zhe, slow down, be careful not to fall."
"Empress Dowager, don't worry, I've grown up," the boy replied while wiping the sweat from his forehead.
The eunuchs behind them stepped forward and knelt on the ground in unison, saying, "Your Majesty, Empress, may you have good fortune."
"Get up," Mo Xiao Li said in a deep voice.
Once everyone stood up, Mo Xiao Li continued, "Be careful; your Empress Dowager is expecting a baby now. If she gets hurt, I won't spare you, little one." As he spoke, he reached out and gently stroked Han Zhe's hair.
Seeing this, Ziyue and the others laughed. Ever since that incident, the Emperor and Empress had grown even closer. The other concubines in the palace had left with considerable sums of money under Mo Xiao Li's tacit approval. Of course, some chose to stay quietly in the palace; however, Mo Xiao Li ordered that everyone should be treated well regardless of who they were. If anyone did something wrong, they would face punishment.
Mu Junqi suddenly seemed to remember something and smiled as she said, "Your Majesty, I heard Han Zhe say he wants to go outside the palace. Let's take him out one day?"
Upon hearing this, Han Zhe excitedly clapped his hands and shouted, "Long live Empress Dowager! Long live Empress Dowager!"
In fact, ever since Han Zhe became sensible, he knew that whenever he had a request, asking the Empress Dowager was always a good idea because his father always listened to her. He had heard that the Palace Exterior was particularly fun last time and mentioned it in front of the Empress Dowager without expecting it to be remembered.
Mo Xiao Li looked at Han Zhe like this and turned to Mu Junqi saying, "You always indulge him. If he continues to be so willful in the future, I will punish both of you."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me," Mu Junqi said while slightly bowing in greeting.
Mo Xiao Li, a bit worried, said, "Be careful, it's been eight months. If you disturb the baby, it won't be good."
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Our little one is very well-behaved..." Before she could finish her sentence, Mu Junqi exclaimed with surprise, "She moved again." She then looked at Mo Xiao Li.
Han Zhe, who was nearby, heard this and excitedly leaned down to listen to her belly. After a moment, he exclaimed, "The little sister is kicking me."
His words made everyone burst into laughter. Mu Junqi gently said, "The Empress Dowager doesn't even know if it's a sister or a brother inside; how do you know?"
"I think it must be a sister so that I can protect her," Han Zhe replied in a babyish voice.
Mu Junqi and Mo Xiao Li exchanged smiles, feeling quite pleased. Just as they were about to speak, a pleasant male voice suddenly rang out from behind them. They turned to see Yun Cheng standing not far away.
Mu Junqi was surprised and excited as she quickly asked, "What brings you here?"
"I just happened to pass by," Yun Cheng replied nonchalantly.
Seeing this scene, Mo Xiao Li recalled various past events and realized that he always came and went freely. However, she didn't expect him to enter without anyone noticing. So she stepped forward and said, "Wise King truly has great skills."
"Of course. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so happy now," he said with a low chuckle.
Suddenly remembering that he had married a princess a few years ago, he asked, "We haven't seen each other in many years. I heard you've married a princess; how about bringing her over sometime?"
"Have you heard?" Yun Cheng asked, staring into her eyes.
Mo Xiao Li naturally did not miss this scene. She stepped forward, walked in front of Yun Cheng, blocking his line of sight, and then said, "Since you are here, I have a gift for you."
Yun Cheng smiled, "Thank you for your kindness, Yan Emperor, but I will be leaving soon. The purpose of my visit this time is to see how she is doing."
Without waiting for anyone's reaction, he lightly tapped his toes and flew away.
Watching Yun Cheng leave, Mu Junqi sighed, "I hope we can all do better."
Mo Xiao Li walked over and pulled her into an embrace, then said, "We will."
At that moment, Han Zhe hopped over and said, "Father, Empress Dowager, let's go back."
Ziyue and Huixin followed closely behind them. Mo Xiao Li held Han Zhe's hand with one hand while tightly wrapping her other arm around Mu Junqi's waist. The setting sun elongated their shadows.
