After the battle at Feihong Pass was settled, Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li set off for Glass City. Conquering the world depended on military might, but governing the world did not depend on military might. Even with Young Master Qingchen overseeing the city, there were still many matters in Glass City that required Mo Xiuyao's personal attention. Counting from the time they left Glass City for the Northern Region last year, it had been a full ten months since they left Glass City. Ten months seemed long, but pacifying the Northern Region, expelling the Northern Tribes, defeating Southern Chu and Xiling, all these things had happened in an astonishingly short amount of time. With so many military achievements, no matter who it was, it would be enough to last three lifetimes. But Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li had only used ten months. When everyone came back to their senses and looked back on these incomparably valiant military achievements, they could only sigh in amazement.
Ten months seemed short, but it was also very long. It was long enough for two children, who had just turned a month old and did not even know how to turn over, to sit in the arms of an adult and look around curiously, learning to speak. When Ye Li saw the two babies in the arms of the two Xu Madams, she finally could not help but cry again. The two babies had just turned a month old when they had been placed in the care of the Xu family. For almost a year, they had not even seen their parents. How could Ye Li not feel guilty?
Fortunately, although it could be said that they had barely seen their parents, the two children were not shy with strangers. With a smile, First Madam Xu placed the baby dressed in a small white brocade jacket with white fox fur in Ye Li's arms. She smiled and teased, "Lin 'er, say Mother … say Mother …"
The baby opened his large black eyes and looked curiously at Ye Li. He only felt that the hug was soft and fragrant, with a very comfortable fragrance. It was different from the hug of his aunt and uncle who usually loved to hug him. But he liked it very much. The baby smiled widely at Ye Li and followed First Madam Xu's call, "Mother … Mother …"
"Lin 'er knows how to call people?" Ye Li exclaimed in surprise. She raised her head to look at the other baby in the arms of Madame Xu, who was wearing a pink robe. Second Madam Xu smiled and said, "These two children are as smart as Xiaobao. Xin 'er, call me mother. "
Little Xin 'er giggled at Ye Li, her sweet little face full of affection. It was obvious that she wasn't shy with strangers at all. She even reached out her small hands towards Ye Li and called out, "Niang niang, hug hug …"
Ye Li only felt her heart soften, as if something was slightly heating up. She carefully pulled Little Xin 'er into her arms. Fortunately, the two children were almost one year old, so they could sit comfortably in Ye Li's arms. The two babies grew up together and had a good relationship. Not only did they not fight to be hugged, they even held each other's hands in Ye Li's arms and babbled to each other in words that no one else could understand.
Mo Xiuyao stood behind Ye Li, reaching out to support the baby in her arms from time to time. A faint smile appeared on his lips, washing away the killing intent that had just come from the battlefield.
Mo Xiaobao stood by Ye Li's side and looked regretfully at the two babies in Ye Li's arms. He had already grown up and couldn't let his mother hug him anymore. At least ….. he couldn't let his younger brother and sister hug his mother.
"Mother, Xiaobao missed you too." Mo Xiaobao looked at Ye Li with eager eyes.
Ye Li smiled and said, "Mother missed you too. Did you listen to Eldest Uncle these days?" Thinking back to when Mo Xiaobao was sent back to Li City a few days ago, Mo Xiaobao's aggrieved look before leaving, Ye Li felt a wave of guilt in her heart. Although it was for his safety, Mo Xiaobao was an extremely smart child. At that time, even if no one told him, he definitely understood that the situation was very bad, so he didn't say anything and left with the guards. He must have been very worried these days.
Mo Xiaobao nodded repeatedly. "Xiaobao is the most obedient. If you don't believe me, Mother, you can ask Eldest Uncle." Mo Xiaobao grew more naughty as he grew older, but he was smart. If someone didn't have any ability, even if they were pranked by him, they wouldn't be able to find any evidence. In the entire Li City, only Xu Qingchen could control him.
"You're obedient? Who was the one who made a fuss about going to Feihong Pass yesterday? "Outside the door, Xu Qingchen's voice carried a faint smile. Soon, the immortal young master dressed in snow-white clothes appeared in front of everyone. There was a kind of person who was born to be favored by the heavens. Even time seemed to have frozen on his body. If Mo Xiuyao's unchanging handsomeness for so many years was because of his profound skills, then Xu Qingchen was born to be favored by the heavens. Xu Qingchen's youth didn't make people feel that he was immature. That handsome and otherworldly appearance and temperament made him seem as if he had the handsomeness of a youth and the steadiness of a middle-aged man, but it was different from the steadiness of a court official who worked hard all year round. There was another kind of carefree carefreeness.
Xu Qingchen stepped into the hall and said with a smile: "In less than a year, you defeated four countries in a row. Such an unprecedented record, congratulations to Prince. "
Mo Xiuyao smiled and said: "No, if it weren't for Brother Qingchen overseeing Li City, how could I be so relieved? Not to mention conquering the world. " These words weren't empty words. As the saying goes, before the troops and horses move, the provisions must be prepared first. The importance of military supplies to a war was self-evident. In the past year, it was because of the Xu family overseeing the Northwest that the Mohist army never had to worry about military supplies and provisions. With this kind of logistical support, it was naturally much easier to win a war.
Xu Qingchen smiled faintly and wasn't modest at all. They were both smart people and could naturally tell which words were true and which were false. Moreover, with Ye Li's relationship with the Xu family, it would be hypocritical and alienating if she continued to refuse to be modest like an outsider.
Xu Qingchen sat down. The two Xu's knew that they were going to talk business and got up to leave. Ye Li had just returned and naturally couldn't bear to part with the two children, so the two children also stayed. The two babies sat in Ye Li's arms. Seeing the two grandmothers who had been taking care of them leave, they weren't in a hurry. This caused the second Xu's wife to laugh and scold the two little ones for being heartless.
Mo Xiuyao took the cute little Xin 'er from Ye Li's arms and sat down next to Ye Li. She was wearing a pink brocade dress and a silver ankle bracelet. After leaving her mother's arms, little Xin 'er didn't cry because she also liked this white person very much. She curiously grabbed Mo Xiuyao's long white hair and gently tugged on it. Mo Xiuyao helplessly looked at his daughter. He raised his hand and took out a delicately carved jade bead the size of a pigeon's egg and stuffed it into her hand to play with. Xin 'er didn't dislike it and curiously played with the jade bead in her hand.
Mo Xiaobao looked at his little brother in his mother's arms and his little sister in his father's arms. He pitifully moved to Xu Qingchen's side. Xu Qingchen smiled and shook her head. She pointed to the seat next to her. Mo Xiaobao then went to the seat next to Xu Qingchen and sat down.
The hall was quiet for a moment before Xu Qingchen said: "Originally, you just came back and I shouldn't disturb you. However, there's something that I want the Prince to see for himself. "Xu Qingchen took out a letter from her sleeve. Ye Li only needed a glance to know what it was. The bright yellow envelope had a drawing of a giant wolf baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. This was the letter of credence of the Northern Tribes.
