The natural disaster that happened two months ago was like a nightmare. Peace was restored very quickly, and all the imperial courts sent reinforcements to the disaster area, allowing people to rebuild their homes.
Ye Zhen did not know how the Qi Kingdom and Yuan Kingdom were recovering, but on her way back to the capital, she felt that Murong Ke had done a good job. The victims had been comforted and were confidently resuming their lives.
She and Mo Rongzhan didn't use any spiritual power to return to the capital. They just bought a carriage and went all the way to the north. When they encountered a disaster, they stayed for two days to give treatment and medicine, so they didn't return to the capital quickly.
However, Ye Zhen already knew that Ye Chunnan had sent Shen Yi to the Wilderness to protect Mingxi.
"I wonder how Ming Xi and the others are doing in the Wasteland City." Although she knew that with Ming Xi's current martial arts, no one could hurt him, she was still worried about him.
"He's not young anymore, he knows what he's doing." Mo Rongzhan was much more at ease than Ye Zhen. Ming Xi was able to roam the Xuantian Continent alone for so long, let alone the human world. How could he be Emperor Mo's son?
Ye Rou glared at him. "Don't you think you have too much faith in your son?"
"When I was his age, I was already living alone." Mo Rongzhan said indifferently. Whether it was in the Xuantian Continent or the human world, he had never relied on his parents. He had always worked hard to survive.
"I just don't understand why Teng Ye is so confident that his rebellion will succeed." Ye Zhen frowned. She knew that Teng Ye hated her very much. His rebellion was probably because Murong Ke would hand over the Jin Kingdom to Ming Yu in the future.
Mo Rongzhan smiled faintly. "Everyone thinks they are smart."
"Ming Xi said that he suspects that someone is manipulating Teng Ye. Who do you think it is?" Ye Zhen pulled Mo Rongzhan's sleeve and asked.
"Yaoyao, we haven't been back for four years." A lot of things could change in four years. For example, the Jin Nation had already adapted to the new Emperor, Murong Ke. In these four years, there might be people secretly developing their forces. They had just returned not long ago. Even if they were cultivators who were more powerful than mortals in certain aspects, they were not gods.
Ye Zhen replied listlessly, "I'm just asking."
She was most worried about Mingyu. She was still so young, but there were already people eyeing the Jin Kingdom. If she took over the Jin Kingdom in the future, wouldn't it be even more dangerous?
"Then shall we do nothing and leave it to Mingxi to solve by himself?" Ye Zhen asked.
"For him, this is a very good training opportunity." Mo Rongzhan said.
Alright, her and Mo Rongzhan's parenting methods were different. Although she knew that Mingxi had already grown up and didn't need her protection, she still couldn't help but worry. However, Mo Rongzhan wouldn't interfere with what they wanted to do, no matter if it was his son or daughter.
"What about your daughter?" Ye Rou asked.
Mo Rongzhan looked back at Ye Zhen. "Yao Yao, you should try to let go. Ming Yu is not as weak as you think. She is our daughter."
It was impossible for their daughter to be stupid and ignorant. She might look innocent and flawless, but she still knew what she should know.
"I just feel like I've missed too much." Ye Zhen cried angrily. She understood the truth, but she just couldn't let it go.
"Then let's have another child." Mo Rongzhan suddenly said. Previously, he did not want her to have another child because he was worried that her body would not be able to take it. Now, with her cultivation, having a child would definitely not be the same as before.
Ye Zhen looked at him in a daze, "You … are you serious?"
"Not really." Mo Rongzhan frowned. In fact, he didn't want to have another child at all, but she was a person who liked children very much.
"What do you mean?" Ye Zhen glared at him.
Mo Rongzhan said grumpily, "It will make us spend less time together. Let's not."
"Is there anyone like you?" Ye Zhen punched him on the shoulder angrily. "Everyone else thinks that having more children is a blessing, but you don't like children."
"I only like you." Mo Rongzhan said.
Ye Zhen's cheeks turned red and she whispered, "We are an old couple, and you still talk about this."
"Not old." Mo Rongzhan's mouth curled up into a smile.
"We have been delayed a lot on the road. Let's go back to the capital quickly."
…
…
In the capital.
With the passing of the New Year, the beauties began to enter the palace for screening. Mo Rongyi had been so busy recently that his feet couldn't touch the ground. It had been a long time since the Jin Kingdom had selected a concubine. He had almost forgotten many of the rules. Fortunately, the Ministry of Internal Affairs had a registration procedure, otherwise, he would be too busy.
After the beauties entered the palace, it was not convenient for him to manage them directly. So, he selected two palace maids from the harem and promoted them to help him observe the words and deeds of the beauties in the palace.
The two palace maids were none other than Tortoise and Liuli, the former maids of Ye Zhen. Even Lu He was transferred by him to help.
"Your Highness, the Emperor just sent a message to summon Shen Xiunv to the Palace of Heavenly Purity." When Lu He saw Mo Rongyi enter the palace, he bowed his head and reported.
"The Emperor summoned Shen Xiunv?" Mo Rongyi was slightly startled, "Which Shen Xiunv?"
"Shen Huan 'er." Lu He replied in a low voice, "From Canghai City."
Mo Rongyi immediately knew which one it was. "I heard that her father selflessly donated a lot of people in Canghai City this time and even donated his own granary. The Emperor summoned her probably to reward her father. Don't be suspicious."
Lu He responded calmly.
"The Miss Lei you mentioned, this slave has observed her for a few days. Among this batch of beauties, she is one of the best. However, she seems to be a little quiet. After entering the palace, unless necessary, she has always been in the room." Lu He said, looking at the changes in Mo Rongyi's expression.
"It is not a good thing to stand out in the palace." Mo Rongyi said lightly.
Lu He bowed his head in response. When the beauties first entered the palace, someone told him to take care of Lei Bingfu. It seemed that Lei Bingfu and Young Master Mingxi were old acquaintances.
If she was sent to the palace by Young Master Mingxi, it should be to help the princess in the future.
"Now that the natural disaster has just passed, the Emperor said that the selection should be simple, but after all, it is the Emperor's first selection. You must pay attention to it." Mo Rongyi ordered.
"Yes." Lu He responded.
Mo Rongyi said, "Since the Emperor is seeing Shen Xiunv, this Prince will go to see him later."
In the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Murong Ke was frowning at the young woman kneeling in front of him. She looked somewhat familiar.
"Are you Shen Huan 'er?" Murong Ke asked calmly.
"Yes …" Shen Huan 'er raised her head and looked at Murong Ke with bright eyes.
Murong Ke narrowed his eyes and looked at her. "I remember that Shen Yuexuan's daughter is not called Shen Huan 'er."
Shen Huan 'er's shoulders stiffened, but her eyes became brighter. It turned out that the Emperor still remembered her. "In reply to Your Majesty, after coming to Canghai City, my father changed my name. Now I am called Huan' er."
She was Shen Huan 'er, not Shen Huan' er.
Murong Ke still remembered her. At that time, he and Shen Yuexuan were very close.
Moreover, Yao Yao had saved this girl's life.
