Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The soldiers of the Daliang Dynasty were about to return home.

It was always a glorious thing to return to the country after winning the war. Those families who had people in the army were naturally proud.

The people of Long Ye were out and about, celebrating the victory and waiting for the return of the victorious army.

Compared to the streets, the palace was quiet and almost desolate.

Luo Tan sat in the courtyard. The rare warm sun in autumn warmed her body. Jingzhe and Gu Yu were taking the books out to dry them.

Luo Tan smiled with emotions. “In the past, when she was in Spring City, she always took out books to dry. The books won’t go bad. What’s there to dry? I didn’t expect that now, I’ll take the initiative to do these things for her.”

The green-robed man standing beside her did not speak.

There was no joy in the palace at all.

Nanny Tao walked over carrying two children. Luo Tan quickly stood up and took one.

“The young princes are all very healthy.” Nanny Tao smiled and said, “Nanny said that they were very obedient at night and didn’t make a fuss.”

A smile appeared on Luo Tan’s face. She said, “They are so obedient, just like their mother.”

Pei Lang’s gaze landed on the two children, his eyes moist.

“I really can’t tell who’s the elder brother and who’s the younger brother.” Luo Tan changed the topic. “They’re almost identical.”

Nanny Tao smiled and said, “It’s fine. They can dress differently in the future.

Moreover, when they grow up, their tempers will be very different.”

“But what should we call them?” Luo Tan was troubled. “Cousin hasn’t had time to name them yet…” She paused for a moment, then sighed in frustration. “I always say not to mention it, but I always mention it. Forget it.”

Seeing this, Nanny Tao wanted to comfort her, but she saw Gu Yu and Jingzhe rush in from outside. Gu Yu shouted excitedly, “Prince Rui is back!”

“What?” Pei Lang and Luo Tan were stunned. According to the speed, he was supposed to be back to the capital in a month.

“Prince Rui rushed back alone.” Gu Yu said in a low voice, “But Madam…’

After a pause, Pei Lang said softly, “Let’s go and take a look.”

Xie Jingxing strode into the palace. A year was enough to change many things. After Emperor Yong Le and Empress Xiande both passed away, the huge palace seemed to have become much quieter.

Eunuch Deng smiled and said, “Your Highness, go and see the two young princes first. Nanny Tao and Miss Luo are playing with them.”

Xie Jingxing frowned. “Where’s Shen Miao?”

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Luo Tan and Nanny Tao walking over with the children in their arms, followed by Pei Lang.

The children in the swaddling clothes had probably just woken up. They waved their small hands lively, looking especially cute under the sun.

Xie Jingxing stopped in his tracks.

“Where’s Shen Miao?” he said slowly.

Pei Lang took a step forward and said softly, “Go and see her..”
