In the blink of an eye, Ming Xi had begun to learn to walk. Although he was only ten months old, he could already stand up with the help of a stool. He took Ye Zhen's hand and walked around the room a few times. Ming Yu did not learn as fast as her brother. When her brother was learning to walk, she crawled behind his buttocks. The brother and sister walked around the room happily.
Ye Zhen let go of Ming Xi's hand and let him walk into her arms.
"Sheep … sheep …" Ming Xi stood with his short legs apart, unable to take the first step towards Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen said angrily, "It's your mother, not the sheep!"
"Sheep ~" Ming Xi's pair of gem-like eyes shone at Ye Zhen. He was calling his mother to hurry over and hold his hand.
"Ah!" Ming Yu still could not speak. When she saw that Ye Zhen did not hold her brother's hand, she called out to Ye Zhen with a wide grin.
Ye Zhen's heart softened and warmed by her daughter's lovely appearance. "Mother is not bullying brother, I'm teaching brother how to walk."
She didn't know if it was because they were born from the same mother, but Ming Yu was particularly fond of sticking to her brother. At such a young age, she already knew how to protect her brother.
"Sheep …" Ming Xi slowly took a small step with his short legs and looked at Ye Zhen with a pout.
Ye Zhen was too lazy to correct his pronunciation. She had corrected it countless times, but he refused to call her mother every time. "Come here, mother will hold you."
Ming Xi's eyes widened as he looked at Ye Zhen, then at his little feet. He wondered if he would fall if he took this step. Slowly, he took another small step, his hands carefully letting go of the stool as he grinned at Ye Zhen.
"Come here." Ye Zhen said with a smile, resisting the urge to hold Ming Xi in her arms and kiss him a few times.
"Sheep, hug." Ming Xi called out in a childish voice.
Ye Zhen was so angry that she almost laughed. "What sheep? Do I look like a sheep?"
Ming Xi heard that Ye Zhen was scolding him. He pursed his lips and looked aggrieved.
"Lu Yaoyao, why do you always bully your son?" Zhao Yang came in from the outside and saw Ming Xi's pouting face. He immediately felt that Ye Zhen was bullying him again.
"When did I bully him?" Ye Zhen laughed. "I'm teaching him how to walk."
Seeing that Zhao Yang had arrived, Ming Xi immediately smiled innocently, so cute that it made people want to hug and kiss her a few times, "Grandmother Meimei."
"…" Ye Zhen heard Ming Xi call Zhao Yang without mistake, and even added the word 'beauty' in front of it. A mouthful of blood blocked her heart, and her eyes turned red with jealousy. "Why! You don't even know how to call your mother, so how can you call her grandmother? "
"Aiya, our Mingxi is so obedient." Zhao Yang felt like her heart was soaked in honey. She couldn't carry Ming Xi right now, but that didn't stop her from hugging him and kissing him a few times. "Our Ming Xi is smart."
Ming Yu squealed from the side and quickly crawled over to Zhao Yang's arms. Ye Zhen hugged her back. "Grandma can't hold you now, you two little guys."
"Don't you need to enter the palace today?" Although she really wanted to hug her two little grandchildren, she did not dare to use too much force. After kissing Ming Xi, she stood up with the help of the maid. She thought that Ye Zhen would take Ming Xi to the palace today.
Ye Zhen said, "No, sister Mengxi's recovery is better than I thought. She doesn't have to go to the palace often."
"Is that Miaomiao still in the palace?" Zhao Yang asked. After living in the Shui residence for so long, she was already familiar with Shui Miaomiao.
"She quarreled with Zhao Tianji and said she didn't want to see him." Ye Zhen smiled. "She should be back tomorrow. She won't be in the palace for long."
Zhao Yang rubbed her belly and sighed, "I wonder when your father and the others will come back."
Ever since Ye Yiqing and the others went out to sea, she had been keeping a diary, hoping that he would come back soon.
"It's been three months. I'll be back soon." In fact, Ye Zhen was also worried about her father, but Zhao Yang was already so nervous. She couldn't show her worry and could only comfort him.
Zhao Yang sighed, "I hope so."

…
As Ming Xi and Ming Yu grew up, Ye Zhen wanted to return to the Jin Kingdom more and more. Every time she entered the palace and saw Qi Yu's care for Shen Mengxi, she always remembered the warmth and sweetness of Mo Rongzhan when she was pregnant.
The matter of Shen Mengxi accepting the two children as her godson and goddaughter was also formally put forward in the court. Although Qi Yu seemed to be indifferent and did not particularly like the two children, every time he saw Shen Mengxi playing with Ming Xi and Ming Yu, he would accompany her. Once, Ming Xi accidentally peed on him. Ye Zhen was frightened when she saw this. She was afraid that Qi Yu could not control his internal and external personality and would directly throw Ming Xi out.
Fortunately, what she worried about did not happen. Qi Yu was not angry. He just went to freshen up and came back to watch Shen Mengxi play with Ming Xi and Ming Xi. However, for the rest of the time, he only held Ming Yu and refused to hold Ming Xi again. As a result, Ming Yu peed on him …
Shen Mengxi laughed so hard that she almost choked. Qi Yu patted her on the back, looking helpless but unable to get angry.
Ye Zhen felt her scalp tingle when she recalled the scene. She had seen the terrible side of Qi Yu. He was a demon who would not recognize anyone but Shen Mengxi. Therefore, she was surprised that he was so patient with the two children.
This time, Qi Yu proposed to adopt a son and a daughter in the court. She was not surprised at all. Although they were not biological children, the Emperor of Hua Country's adopted children were of great significance.
As Ye Zhen expected, this matter caused a great uproar in Hua Country. Some people opposed it, some supported it, and some even suspected that Ye Zhen had ulterior motives. The whole Northern Border City was talking about this matter these days. Some people even went to the Shui family to visit her.
Ye Zhen hid in the palace with Zhao Yang.
"Is that all you've got? When others visit you, you're so scared that you hide here?" Shen Mengxi sneered at Ye Zhen while feeding Ming Xi fresh strawberries that had just been sent from outside the palace.
"What is this?" Ye Zhen had never seen strawberries before. There was no such fruit in the Jin Kingdom.
"Strawberries. They just entered the palace. They're very sweet. Have a taste." Shen Mengxi smiled at her and Zhao Yang. In fact, she was very happy that they had entered the palace to accompany her.
Ye Zhen ate one without hesitation and was immediately amazed by the fresh and sweet taste. "It's delicious."
Shen Mengxi glared at her. "It was the emperor's decision to adopt a son and a daughter in the court. I wanted to wait a little longer. In fact, he likes Ming Xi and Ming Yu very much."
"But … won't there be too many objections?" Ye Zhen asked worriedly.
