The problem that Pei shi had been worried about disappeared when she saw the two children. Mo Rongzhan's love for the two children was no less than anyone else's. Anyone who had been a mother could clearly feel that Mo Rongzhan really liked the children.
"Mother, Ming Xi and Ming Yu are cute, aren't they? They were very good when they were young, and they didn't bother me." Ye Zhen was triumphant. In front of Pei Shi, she was just a little daughter who wanted to be praised.
"That's much better than you." Pei Shi glanced at Ye Zhen, "You almost wore off a layer of my skin when you were a child."
Ye Zhen froze for a moment, then realized that Pei Shi was talking about the real Lu Yaoyao. She smiled and said, "Mother, how can you expose my shortcomings?"
Lu Shiming chuckled, "When you were Ming Yu's age, you were very obedient."
"What's there to be obedient about? You're the one who allowed her to run around outside every day and get tanned." Pei Shi glared at Lu Shiming, then turned to Mo Rongzhan and said, "Your Majesty, you can't be like him, spoiling your daughter to the sky. When Yao Yao was a child, people called her a wild girl. When she first came to the capital …"
"Alright, alright. Isn't Yaoyao doing well now?" Lu Shiming immediately interrupted when he saw that Ming Yu was excitedly staring at Pei Shi.
Ming Yu turned her head and ran to Mo Rongzhan, "Father, I want to go out and play, too."
Mo Rongzhan held her in his arms, "Well, father will take you to ride a horse later."
"Your Majesty, Ming Yu is still so young …" Pei Shi's face changed as soon as she heard this. Can such a young child ride a horse?
Ye Zhen couldn't help but laugh. Looking at Ming Yu, she was like seeing herself when she was a child. At that time, her father also responded to her every request, and every time her mother objected, he would quietly wink at her and then take her out behind her back. Mo Rongzhan also responded to Ming Yu's every request.
Pei Shi couldn't say anything at all. After all, Mo Rongzhan was the emperor, and Ming Yu was a princess. How could she point fingers at an emperor and a princess?
She also expected her daughter to speak up and stop them, but who knew that her daughter laughed even more happily.
"Father, mother, you must be tired after the long journey. Why don't you rest first?" Ye Zhen said to Lu Shiming and his wife, worried that they were too tired.
"I'm not tired." Pei shi hugged Ming Xi in her arms. "Seeing my two little grandchildren, I'm not tired at all."
Lu Shiming said to Ye Zhen, "We won't live in the palace. It's good to live with General Ye."
When he first entered the palace, he heard Yaoyao asking people to prepare a palace for them to live in. It was not suitable. He felt that living in the Ye family was good enough.
"Yes, Yao Yao, General Ye has prepared a guest room." Pei Shi smiled at Ye Zhen. "It is more comfortable for us to live outside the palace."
"Alright then. Didn't my brother go to pick you up? Why didn't you follow them into the palace? " Ye Zhen asked doubtfully. She hadn't seen Ye Chunnan much these days and didn't know what he was doing outside.
Lu Xiangzhi glanced at Mo Rongzhan. "Brother Ye was supposed to enter the palace with us, but something happened on the way, so he went to work first."
Ye Zhen looked at Mo Rongzhan doubtfully. He must know what happened that needed Ye Chunnan to deal with. "What's wrong?"
"Beitang Yu has come to the capital." Mo Rongzhan said faintly.
"Who?" Ye Zhen thought she had misheard and asked again uncertainly. Whose name did she just hear?
Mo Rongzhan said indifferently, "It's that Beitang Yu you're thinking about. He arrived at the capital today, and Ah Nan went to see him."
Ye Zhen felt incredulous. "Beitang Yu dares to come to the capital?"
"Since I sent him an invitation, why wouldn't he dare to come? As for what he will do when he comes, we will know soon." Mo Rongzhan whispered. The war Beitang Yu provoked with ambition two years ago had just subsided. He must have a purpose for coming to the capital at this time.
"I also want to know what else he can do." Ye Zhen said coldly.
… …
… …
At the insistence of Lu Shiming and his wife, Ye Zhen had to let them be sent to the Ye family and then invited Ye Chunnan to the palace. She wanted to know the purpose of Beitang Yu's visit.
Mo Rongzhan let the two sleepy children be taken away and held Ye Zhen in his arms. "There are only two purposes for Beitang Yu to come to the capital this time. Do you want to know?"
Ye Zhen squinted at him. "You know? Then why didn't you say it just now? "
"It's hard to say just now." Mo Rongzhan smiled. Some words were naturally said only when the two of them were alone.
"What are the two purposes?" Ye Zhen threw herself into his arms and asked softly. She was not familiar with Beitang Yu. She only knew that the war two years ago was because of him. If it weren't for Zhao Yang's marriage to the Beitang Kingdom, she wouldn't even have an impression of the country.
Mo Rongzhan put her on his lap and enjoyed her flattery. "Li Hang had already surrendered to Beitang Yu. From Beitang Yu's point of view, Dongqing already belongs to him. You took 100,000 elite soldiers and took Dongqing away. To Beitang Yu, you undoubtedly took away the fat meat next to his mouth. If you didn't take Dongqing away, he would still get a lot of tributes from Li Hang every year. Dongqing's national treasury would be free for him to take as much as he wants."
Ye Zhen frowned. "You mean, he regards Dongqing as his. Now that I have taken away his things, he wants to take them back?"
"He doesn't dare to send troops easily." Mo Rongzhan said with a smile. If Beitang Yu dared to send troops again, he wouldn't be able to bear the consequences. "This time, he came to King's City for two reasons. Firstly, he wants to show off his power and remind you that this country used to be his subordinate country. Secondly, he wants to measure your ability. If you are suppressed by him, he will take a mile after taking an inch. Therefore, no matter how strong his momentum is when you see him, no matter how unpleasant his words are, don't be led by him."
"I know, I can't lose to him in momentum." Ye Zhen nodded seriously. "But where does Beitang Yu get the face to think that I should send him tribute every year like Li Hang? It's already good enough that I don't attack his Beitang Kingdom. "
Mo Rongzhan chuckled, bowed his head and kissed the corner of her mouth. "He is so shameless."
Ye Zhen snorted coldly. "Then let's see in a few days. I'd like to know what he looks like."
"The fact that he appeared in the capital means that he came prepared. You'd better be more cautious." Mo Rongzhan warned her. She was no longer just the Empress of Jin Kingdom, but also the Heavenly Consort of Yuan Kingdom. Beitang Yu was not familiar with her and would definitely bully her for being a woman.
"Of course I will be cautious." Ye Zhen smiled. "I don't believe that he would dare to strut around my territory like he did to Li Hang."
Mo Rongzhan smiled and nodded. "If he knows what's good for him, he wouldn't dare."
However, Beitang Yu was never a person who knew what's good for him.
