Zhao Huai stared at the sleeping baby boy and baby girl for a long time.
Yu Qinghan and Jiang Xuan both stood aside, enjoying the quiet moment without making a sound.
The young Zhao Ping'an seemed to feel the gentle gaze from his father, or maybe he had had enough sleep.
He slowly opened his eyes, his pink and jade face tilted, looking at Zhao Huai innocently.
Those small eyes seemed to contain stars, unusually bright.
"Eaaah!"
Zhao Pingan shouted inarticulately, stretched out his little hand, and smiled happily.
Zhao Huai gently stroked the child's tender cheeks and said with a smile:
"My dear boy, you didn't even cry when you saw me. Do you know who I am?"
Zhao Ping'an didn't cry when he saw a stranger like himself, but stared at him blankly, and then laughed, as if he knew his identity.
Zhao Huai also looked at each other and smiled, and then turned his attention to Zhao Ruyue aside.
Zhao Ruyue is thinner than Zhao Ping'an, and her face is whiter and cuter.
Especially the pair of sparse eyebrows that are gradually growing out. Judging from the shape of the eyebrows, they really look like her mother.
At this time, Yu Qinghan whispered from the side: "On the night when Zhao Ping'an and Zhao Ruyue were born in Taiyang Hall, the officials of Si Tianjian said that there were stars in the sky. Although they were still young and could not see their bones, But I can be sure that my future talent will definitely not be bad.”
Zhao Huai nodded, his face full of regret, and said regretfully:
"It's a pity that I wasn't here when they were born."
He turned to look at Yu Qinghan beside him, put his hands on his shoulders, and said solemnly:
"Ma'am, thank you for your hard work."
He sounded very guilty.
Now he finally figured it out.
It turns out that in the past year, the Empress of Great Xia no longer came to court or held court meetings.
It's actually because I'm ten months pregnant
Madam has done too much for him.
"It's worth it for my husband."
Yu Qinghan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sweet smile.
The two of them were speechless.
On the side, the mortal fairy Jiang Xuan tightened her black shawl and turned her eyes to the other side. For some reason, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable, so she said:
"You guys talk, I'll go see how the fish soup is going first."
After saying that, Jiang Xuan walked towards the kitchen.
And Zhao Huai's eyes looked at Zhao Ping'an in the car again, his eyes were deep and he said:
"Since he is my son, Zhao Huai, his future will be extraordinary."
Yu Qinghan chuckled: "This is natural. I hope he can grow up safely in the future."
"Healthy growth is a prerequisite. I can only say that I was born in this era, and I am cautious and vigilant in everything. I don't want him to follow this path. He should have a broader world, and in the future he will inevitably be burdened with more burdens than his peers. People have a heavier responsibility." Zhao Huai nodded in agreement, but he really wanted to give his son and daughter an extremely safe environment.
What is the purpose of cultivating immortality that I have devoted all my energy to?
It’s not just to get a freer and carefree world.
Your heart doesn’t have to hang over your head all day.
There is nothing you can do about it. Anyone can suffer, but you can't suffer for your children. You can just bear some hardships yourself.
At least when they grow up, they won't live in fear. At least they can spend a happy childhood before facing everything in the future.
As parents, don’t you just want the best for your children?
Yu Qinghan stared at the child for a while, then thought of something, turned his head, his eyes were extremely serious, and said:
"Husband, some things must be settled."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Huai immediately understood what the other party wanted to say, and frowned slightly:
"You mean worldly things?"
"That's right."
Yu Qinghan nodded heavily, with a solemn expression on his face, his eyebrows were picturesque, and he was full of heroic spirit.
At this moment, she seemed to have regained her majesty. At this moment, she was the wise and powerful Empress of Great Xia who controlled hundreds of officials and people.
"This world cannot remain divided. There can only be one, Daxia and Dayan."
"And this is a contradiction that cannot be circumvented."
Zhao Huai suddenly fell silent when he heard this.
This is indeed a topic that can never be avoided.
At this point, the two of them can reconcile, but what about the ministers below?
Obviously, even the madam herself cannot pass this test.
If she reorganizes the Great Xia Empire and hands it over to herself, then who is she?
Similarly, if I disband the recently restored Great Yan, what will my actions be?
Since the wife is willing to put it on the table and speak without any hesitation, it means she wants to solve the problem.
In Zhao Huai's view, this conflict is very difficult, but it is not unsolvable.
This time, there was silence in the air for a long time.
Both of them were thinking about the solution to the problem.
After thinking about it, Zhao Huai saw Zhao Pingan sucking his thumb.
His eyes flickered slightly, and a bright light burst out, as if he had thought of something.
"Perhaps time is the best solution."
"These things must be left to Ping An." Zhao Huai said.
When Yu Qinghan heard these words, he thought carefully about the meaning and said tentatively: "My husband means to let Ping An rule the Northern and Southern Dynasties."
Zhao Huai nodded: "Yes, the only way I can think of now is this. Ping An has the blood of Da Xia and Da Yan, and is the best candidate to merge with Yan Xia."
"There is no hatred that cannot be quelled by time. War will only bring disaster and death to the world. At this time, the world can no longer start wars."
Yu Qinghan strongly agreed with Zhao Huai's statement and responded directly: "My husband's point of view is the same as mine. The real reason why I attacked Dayan in the first place was to prevent the princes from fighting and the people suffering. If we can avoid fighting, we can let people suffer." Unification of the world is the best way."
Zhao Huai naturally knew what the scene was like in the last years of Great Yan.
After the famine broke out, there were countless bones beneath the war, which was a hell on earth.
"When people prosper, they suffer; when they die, people suffer. I hope this won't happen."
Zhao Huai smiled bitterly.
Yu Qinghan had a distressed look on his face: "Of course I understand this, but I was wondering if this responsibility would be too arduous for Ping An."
Zhao Huai sighed: "There is nothing we can do about it. He is our son. What we can do is to make him not be so heavy when he takes over this burden."
As long as two people are of the same mind, there will be no chaos in the world.
"Speaking of which, the Shenluo Gu Kingdom in Xizhou also sent envoys to form an alliance with me. Counting the time, it has been so long."
Zhao Huai suddenly remembered that he still had something to deal with.
Yu Qinghan stared with phoenix eyes, frowned, and said displeasedly: "Form an alliance? Who are you trying to kill?"
Zhao Huai smiled helplessly: "Madam, don't worry, I haven't agreed yet. The Shenluo Gu Kingdom has unified all the countries in Xizhou and has developed a power that cannot be underestimated. It must not be offended, but now it seems that it has been offended. "
He really let go of Princess Shinra's dove. About half a month had already passed during his stay in Lingshan.
I'm afraid Princess Shinra has gone back, right?
Yu Qinghan said indifferently: "It's good to offend me. A country with such evil cults is everywhere, and it seems unreliable. As early as when my father was in power, Shinra was eyeing you, and this time it seeks an alliance with you, maybe it's just to carve up a share. The land of Zhongzhou.”
"I also thought about this, so I didn't agree. Speaking of which, what is the current situation of the Northern Wolf Empire in the north? When will the ten northern states be recovered?"
Facing Zhao Huai's question, the annoyance in Yu Qinghan's heart was brought out, and he pursed his lips and said: "Since Beilang occupied the ten states and suffered a defeat from me, he has been sticking to his home and not sending out troops. He has strengthened his walls and cleared the country. It seems that there is no fighting spirit for the time being, and it will probably be difficult to regain the ten states."
Zhao Huai nodded lightly: "They probably haven't found a suitable opportunity. If the war breaks out again, there's no telling whether they will jump out again."
"Speaking of my husband, how did you escape from Yandu and how did you fight your way to the palace? Can you tell me more in detail?"
Yu Qinghan looked curious.
"These are all unbearable memories." Zhao Huai's smile froze, remembering the bad memories.
"Tell me, I want to hear more of your husband's story. I've never heard it from you before."
"All right."
The two of them are like this, you say something and I say something.
They chatted with each other about experiences they had never talked about before.
There were a few laughs from time to time.
Even when Jiang Xuan came in and called the two of them while carrying a big bowl and placing it on the table, they didn't even notice.
Jiang Xuan looked at the two of them helplessly and interjected: "The soup is ready, it's time to feed the children. If you want to drink, you can also get a bowl."
"Trouble, senior sister."
Yu Qinghan bowed to Jiang Xuan and smiled sweetly.
"We are all from the same sect, so what's the point of thanking you?"
Jiang Xuan walked between the two of them, picked up the two children skillfully, and walked away as she said:
"Besides, I really like these two kids."
Zhao Huai glanced at Jiang Xuan, who was wearing a white dress and looking full of fairy spirit when he went out, tilted his head and asked:
"Have you, senior sister, experienced any bad experiences in the past?"
Yu Qinghan thought thoughtfully: "It seems that I had an unpleasant experience with a senior brother when I was young, and since then I have stopped touching things between men and women."
"No wonder."
"Can you two please keep your voices down? I'm not deaf."
At this time, a cold warning voice came from outside the house.
Zhao Huai and Yu Qinghan looked at each other, and then they both burst out laughing.
On wooden table.
There is a bowl of steaming fish soup, sprinkled with chopped green onion, which makes it more delicious.
In addition, there is a pile of crabs, which look very big, about the size of two fists.
Jiang Xuan took out a pot of wine and three bowls from behind the water tank, and poured them into Zhao Huai and Yu Qinghan opposite.
"Crash!"
Zhao Huai picked up the wine bowl, looked at the clear wine, sniffed it, took a sip, and couldn't help but praise:
“It’s such a mellow rice wine. It tastes very fresh, slightly sweet, and delicious.”
Jiang Xuan also poured herself some wine, held the bowl upright, and said calmly:
"I brewed this wine myself."
"The materials are not very good, but they are also made from the best spiritual rice, and the distiller's yeast has been brewed for decades."
After saying that, he drank the wine in front of him in one gulp.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Huai looked very surprised.
It’s hard to tell that this fairy-like woman in a white dress actually has such a heroic side.
Apparently, he drinks a lot in private.
"Dry!"
Zhao Huai is also imitating others.
Yu Qinghan on the side was feeding fish soup to Zhao Pingan and Zhao Ruyue with a spoon.
After drinking for three rounds, Jiang Xuan's face was slightly red. She was obviously drunk, and she didn't use magic to get rid of the hangover.
Zhao Huai knew that the other party was not very good at drinking, but was drinking forcefully.
Even if it's just rice wine.
Jiang Xuan stared at Zhao Huai and then at Yu Qinghan, with unspeakable envy deep in her eyes.
She finally focused on Zhao Huai and said:
"My name is Jiang Xuan, I am Qinghan's senior sister. I watched Qinghan grow up. She has been in the sect for eight years. I have also watched her for half a year, so I hope you will be good to her in the future and don't be a liar. I am an easygoing person with a pure temperament and nothing special about philandering behavior. I just hate philandering men."
"Senior Jiang, don't worry, I, Zhao Huai, am definitely not that kind of person."
Zhao Huai clasped his fists and said solemnly.
Although the woman in front of her looks very young, she is actually over two hundred years old.
He can definitely be considered a senior.
Jiang Xuan nodded with satisfaction, showing a hint of appreciation and appreciation from between her eyelashes.
"The eighth-turn golden elixir is a good seedling. Unfortunately, this world cannot accommodate the ninth-turn golden elixir. If you have the opportunity to go to other worlds, you may be able to fight for it."
Zhao Huai was shocked and said quickly: "Senior, do you know how to break through to the Nine Transformations Golden Pill? Or go to other worlds?"
Jiang Xuan was lying on the table, her hair slightly messy, her head supported by her hands, and she narrowed her eyes and said, "This is not a secret at all."
"If you want to travel to other worlds, the most direct way is to ascend. Ascension allows you to travel to all major worlds and come and go freely."
"But at present, it is unlikely, because the Immortal World has been sealed off for a long time. In the past hundred years, I have heard many rumors. Most people think that this is a way for the immortals to protect the Immortal World from other people. The erosion of heaven and earth, in my opinion, is nothing more than making the disaster arrive later.”
"Although the world is relatively safe now, the monks are also weaker. If one day a bad wolf enters the sheep flock, it will be a disaster for everyone."
Zhao Huai couldn't help but fell silent after hearing these words.
Jiang Xuan continued: "Want to break through to the Nine-turn Golden Elixir? It's simple. Just use your ancestral weapon to break the seal. But I warn you, it's best not to do this, because if you can get out, it means that others can also Can come in."
After meal.
The lakeside of the Red Dust Fairy Peak.
Zhao Huai and Yu Qinghan leaned against each other and lay on the trunk of a big tree.
Facing the peaceful pastoral scenery of Huifeng, Zhao Huai was thinking about other things.
"Husband, are you still thinking about what senior sister said?"
Yu Qinghan glanced at Jiang Xuan, who was swaying on the swing, and turned back to Zhao Huai with a smile.
"Yeah, I'm not trying to break through the Nine Transformations Golden Elixir. I'm just thinking about what will happen in the future and how I can survive this world."
Zhao Huai sighed.
"So, what are you going to do?"
Zhao Huai thought for a while and thought:
"I plan to go to Jiange."
"oh?"
Zhao Huai explained: "The blessed land of Lingshan is full of opportunities. Since I have come to Lingshan, I will try to get more, and every time I can increase my strength, it is worth it.
After finishing speaking, he looked at the tranquil mountain water, the banks of the crystal clear lake, and the simple and practical thatched cottages, and said with emotion:
"I really want to stay here and live for hundreds of years."
ps: First of all, let me state that I am still here, not dead, and not a ghostwriter. It’s just that the plot foreshadowing is more important and needs to be polished and the idea more specific, so it will be slower.
