"Feng Yun Wang." "These two kids are still sensible..." have reached a certain level. They proactively serve soup and add rice for their elders. It's actually just a very simple matter. But in reality, how many people can achieve this? At least for Bai Li Yan Qi, no one has ever done such a thing before...

  Even if it's considered to have countless descendants, yet no one has ever achieved such a simple thing. This is also another kind of sorrow. Even with the most noble identity in this world, they can't get these warmest things forever.

  What a sorrow it is. Bai Li Yan Qi suddenly had an unspeakable feeling, yet could only savor the soup mouthful by mouthful. This was truly a rare and delicious delicacy. What was rare was that this child had just seen his own reflection with some fear in his eyes, so why could he now look at himself so calmly?

  What a wonderful girl she is! Dong Qingyuan has come to steal her granddaughter from her. And it seems that Yu Tiancheng had already taken one of her granddaughters away before. Mentioning this makes Baili Yanqi a bit angry. After all, these children are her own grandchildren. Such pampering is something she's never experienced before. If you say that these kids aren't being raised with the utmost care, then how did they get such delicate skin?

  How can it be that all these children are the kind who don't lift a finger to help? How could Yuan Shu Huan not provide a good environment for these kids? These things must have been provided by Yuan Shu Huan himself. If Pei Ming Xuan had known about Yuan Shu Huan's situation, would he have been so depressed for five years?

  "Yuànr indeed takes good care of people." It's not a compliment, but a plain sigh. He actually hopes that Pei Huashuang wouldn't be so sensible. These things all come with a certain price. Those experiences he doesn't want Pei Huashuang to go through.

  It's better not to tell the emperor about those stories. Yuan Shu was willing to reveal some of these stories to himself, probably because he was afraid that Pei Hua would get hurt if she knew them while being by his side. He used to be someone who couldn't even protect himself, so how could he possibly protect Pei Hua?

  Dong Qingyuan closed his eyes and recalled the events of that night. It was also on a similar night that he saw his own biological father. Although he didn't want to admit it, he couldn't deny that it was indeed his father.

  "Uncle, eat garlic." Pei Huashang handed a clove of garlic to Dong Qingyuan, then quietly continued eating her own food.

  Dong Qingyuan was a bit puzzled, but actually Pei Huashang knew she didn't like to eat garlic. So why did she still choose to give it to herself? There were so many things on the table, yet she specifically gave herself the thing she liked least. Looking at Pei Huashang's bright smile, Dong Qingyuan couldn't help but laugh too...

  Pei Huashang is not a person who shoots randomly. Is this garlic telling itself something? Or is it just simply teasing, but coincidentally interrupting its own memories.

  Such memories are in front of Pei Huashang. Why think about those unhappy things. With such a child by your side, you should be happy no matter what. Dong Qingyuan ate garlic for the first time with a willing heart, but saw Pei Huashang's slightly stunned face, and was then stunned by the taste in his mouth. It turns out that this thing is not meant to be eaten at all.

  It just looks like garlic. This girl has seen this kind of thing before. Does this count as being tricked?

  Baili Yanqi glanced at Dong Qingyuan, then handed each of the two children a large chicken drumstick. Although she didn't know what they liked, chicken drumsticks should be something that all kids like, right?

  But her eyes were wide open, watching as Pei Huashang put braised pork into her bowl. She had only picked up a few more bites, yet this child had easily seen through it. Ba Li Yanqi gained an even deeper understanding of Pei Huashang's attentiveness. Yet she couldn't help but smile and curve her eyebrows. What a joyful day this was! With such children by her side, the Tian family didn't have any familial bliss to speak of. Who would have thought that she could obtain it from these two children without blood ties?

  This child, even when eating, with such a proper posture, can still observe everything around him? What they like or dislike is already in this child's heart, right? This can no longer be described as being careful and cautious. Such insight should have reached a terrifying level by now. Fortunately, this is his good fortune. He will let this child continue to be happy like this...

  It was just that scene earlier, for some reason it made me feel really uncomfortable. They seemed like a family eating together. Was I just an outsider? Ba Li Yan Qi couldn't possibly be a loving grandfather. That person was someone who could even sacrifice the one he loved... With such a Ba Li Yan Qi sitting on the throne, would he not harm those two children in the future?

  Dong Qingyuan was a bit worried, but in his mind, he thought of Yuan Shuheng's appearance. The one who really had the ability to protect these children was actually Yuan Shuheng, that seemingly calm person. As long as there was someone like Yuan Shuheng behind the two children, even if it were the Emperor himself, he wouldn't be able to do anything to them.

  In front of the imperial power, I am still unable to do anything. Even though I can influence the emperor's actions to a certain extent, I still cannot control everything. If it were up to me to protect her, would I be able to properly guard Hua Xiang?

  Pei Huashang's gaze inadvertently swept over Baili Yanqi and Dong Qingyuan. These two people, when together, always gave off a suffocating feeling. Dong Qingyuan, who could speak freely in front of his mother, seemed to wear a mask in front of this grandfather. Was this grandfather such an overbearing person...

  For an emperor-like figure, for Pei Huashang and Pei Huamiao, it still feels very unfamiliar. Because they have never been in contact with what is called the imperial family. And the emperor that the adults talked about, he can do things that Yuan Shuhan can also easily do. In fact, this is probably the most fundamental reason.

  "I'll take my leave first." Dong Qingyuan saw that Baili Yanxi nodded and took Pei Huashang away from here. It's time for Huashang to go to sleep as promised. This is something that cannot be forgotten. No matter how calm this girl looks, she must be very tired by now. Her expression makes people feel unbearable.

  After dinner, not only Pei Hua Xiang but also Pei Hua Mo seemed a bit spiritless. The children's routine has always been extremely regular. But yesterday was an exception. No matter what, the rest time needed by the kids is always much more than that of adults.

  Baili Yanqi hugged Pei Huamo tightly. These two days should be relaxing and resting, shouldn't they? This is Pei Mingxuan's territory, not a prison within the high walls of the imperial palace. Here, he should relax himself. Moreover, with Pei Huamo by his side, this child... it's no longer a question of whether Baili Yanqi rests or not. Accompanying the child to sleep is also a kind of pleasure.

  Baili Yanqi felt that she had a little bit of an irresistible feeling in this kind of fun. If she left this place, would everything still be the same as before? Although the most important thing was still this child. If this child hadn't been misled by power and desire...

  That is the capital of desire. All good and bad things are there. After the prosperity, it's a desolate land with bones all over the ground. Taking such a child to such a place, will this child also lose its current appearance?

  Baili Yanqi felt a little uneasy, but more surprisingly, he had an obscure excitement. He also wanted to have such a child accompany him, just as his last wish in his later years. Even if he was the emperor, he couldn't transcend the ordinary, and he still had things he wanted for himself.

  "Is Grandpa unhappy?" Pei Hua Mo looked up with an innocent face, unable to see clearly the expression in the old man's eyes.

  "There's no unhappiness." With such an understanding child by my side, how could I possibly feel unhappy? It's just that I'm increasingly unsure of what to do or where to go. He is, after all, still a monarch. Perhaps it's also time for me to leave on my own terms... For the sake of this country, I've paid too great a price...

  Youth love family affection. And too many things. All buried in that prosperous capital city.

  "The music has ended and the crowd is dispersing." A sigh was heard carried by the wind. The black-clad man still appeared in sight. Qingyuan seemed to have made up his mind already. That child is truly fortunate.

  It turns out that Yuan Shu Huan has indeed raised a good group of children. Not only did he tame his elusive son, but even his old rival, Bai Li Yan Qi, is extremely fond of the child. It's probably because in Pei Ming Xuan's place, Bai Li Yan Qi is just an ordinary old man, so he can possess...

  What a wonderful scene, it's truly enviable. Why do people who have everything turn out to be like Ba Li Yan Qi? Clearly they're all the same, unable to protect the person they love most in their heart.

  But it's clear that Baili Yanxi is much luckier than herself. At least in this situation, there is still the joy of family reunion.

  Dong Qingyuan, however, was because of that girl. Now he didn't even plan to return home. What a sad thing this is. In the end, can't grasp anything at all? The mistakes made in the past. Did they really hurt that child so much? The man shook his head, feeling very confused in his heart.

  It's just as I thought, I shouldn't have come to this place today. I shouldn't have seen all that earlier. These things will only disturb my mind in the end. This is something I've known since I was a boy. But my heart has already been disturbed, hasn't it? Since meeting that girl... my heart has no longer been under my control...

  Even though that girl has left now, she still left him with a child. The dead knot between father and son can be untied until when?

  The man's figure changed and flashed several times, and he had already disappeared from this place. At the same time, a jug of wine on the table also disappeared.
