The people around him wanted to give him a hug.

One by one, they were all reprimanded back to him. No one was allowed to touch him, only he could hug himself.

Seeing them acting like this, Xiao Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She could already imagine the future of this child. Although he would probably be completely doted on, in a sense, the feeling of being pampered might not be that pleasant …

"Prime Minister, if you have anything to say, please head into the estate first. My lady has been busy traveling for a long time, I think she should be tired by now." Riko took a step forward and meticulously arranged everything.

"Yes, yes. I've already forgotten about it. Ran Er, let's go inside." Feng Jiexi laughed, turned around, and walked towards the mansion with stiff steps. In the end, she did not hug the child, but stood up in his arms like an eggplant, feeling very uncomfortable. She moaned and was about to cry.

Xiao Qingran quickly carried the child back and patted her on the back soothingly: "Daddy, the way you're carrying the child isn't right. She should be crying soon. Leave it to me."

Feng Jing nodded reluctantly. His gaze was still glued to the child's body until the moment he entered the hall.

Xiao Qing Ran rubbed her temples helplessly. She could only let Li Er carry the child away. If this went on, she wouldn't be able to discuss proper business with him.

"Qianhan was called into the palace as soon as he entered the capital. During this period of time, his father was the one who took care of all the matters within the imperial court. Do you know about the situation over at Bian Rong?"

"Feng Su was my right-hand man back then, and I know him the best. In the past few years, he has been guarding Biron for a long time, and even though he lost a few battles, I'm still a little worried about him. However, victory or defeat is commonplace, I still trust him, it's just that …"

"However, the situation seems to be more serious than I thought. Although His Majesty's army won't be completely wiped out, more than half of them have died. The situation is getting more and more cruel. I originally wanted to return to the battlefield, but …" "Sigh, I'm old and useless now."

"Daddy, you don't have to blame yourself. Hua Hua Hua has already told me what happened earlier. Daddy, just stay in the capital without worry. Don't worry about the foreign bandits. Even if those people in the imperial court don't have much use, they will still have to face the cold."

The old emperor must have used this chance to get them to come back. Now that Su Qianxing was dead, Su Qianjie could not be promoted to Crown Prince, and Qian Li was too young, even though he had already entered the temple and was easily criticized by the people in the imperial court. The only one who could succeed was Qian Han.

"Yeah." "Xiao Zhi had already led the troops to the battlefield half a month before you guys returned. However, that man has been worrying about the safety of the imperial court all these years, so he probably forgot about the battles on the battlefield. I do not have much hope for him."

Xiao Qing withdrew her brows as a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes.

She hadn't returned to the Xiao Residence ever since she acknowledged her ancestors. Too many things had happened in this period of time. If her father hadn't mentioned this place, she would have forgotten about it. After all … Even during those six or seven years, she hadn't been in the Xiao Residence for very long.

Sangua He looked at his daughter and asked, "Ran Er, if the battle ahead doesn't work out, then that kid will definitely go to the battlefield. You …"

It was precisely because she wasn't with Lian-er when she went to the battlefield that Lian-er was in an accident. In the same situation, even though Lian-Er had more ideas about other people than her, they were still married not long ago. She was truly worried about the sudden separation of their families due to this matter.

Xiao Qingyi knew of his worry, but she was quite open-minded herself: "Daddy, don't worry. Zhenju will go to his house at that time, but the child is still young and I will not follow him."

"It's good that you can think of it that way." If he had to do it again, his heart would not be able to take it anymore, "Re'lar, don't worry. Father will help keep an eye on the two of you, and I will do my best to make peace with the Emperor. Since you are already married to that boy, I will protect him as your father-in-law."

After all, protecting him was equivalent to protecting his precious daughter.

"Thank you, father."

"There is no need for thanks between father and daughter."

Sang He played with his granddaughter for an entire morning. Only after she had fallen asleep did he reluctantly return to the manor. Now that he had returned to his position as prime minister, there were still many matters in the imperial court that needed to be handled by him.

Just as Su He left, Su Qian Jie rushed into the house excitedly and called out to him, "Qing Qing, Qing Qing, where is my little niece? Where is my little niece? "

Xiao Qingran had just coaxed the child to sleep. When she heard the commotion outside, her eyelids twitched. She quickly ran out and grabbed the person who had collided with her and threw him down the stairs: "What are you shouting for? Lower your voice. The child is asleep."

Su Qian Jie took two steps back. The happiness and excitement in his eyes did not fade, but his voice was slightly softer. "You fell asleep? "Hurry up, let me go take a look."

He rubbed his hands together and his eyes sparkled, "I heard that you guys had returned early in the morning. I wanted to follow them to the city gate to welcome you guys, but those old fellows in the academy were really annoyed. They forced me not to come out. What's the name of your little niece? Where is it now? "

"Su Youyan, my name is You." Xiao Qingli took a step back to let him pass: "You can see, but you have to be careful not to wake her up. It won't be good if this child wakes up and makes a ruckus."

"Don't worry, I will definitely be careful and not make any big moves." Su Qian Jie patted his chest and entered the room.

Xiao Qingran helplessly shook her head when she saw his childish look.

Riko had already told her about the palace. Lan Ying, that woman, had passed away due to illness. This boy had never received much love from his mother, so he was extremely sensitive and meticulous. In the future, he would have to bear all the hardships of the court.

"Aiya, my little niece is so pretty. She's so pretty." Su Qian Jie held her face in her hands as she half squatted beside the cradle. Her starry eyes were about to light up. "That's right. Qing Yi, take a look. I bought her something that was fun to play with."

As Su Qian Jie spoke, he took out a drum from his bosom and excitedly placed it onto the child's body. "I bought this just after I left the palace. It's my little niece's greeting gift."

The corner of Xiao Qing's mouth twitched, and she happily snatched the thing away and threw it to the side: "Did no one tell you how old this child is before I came back? She's only been playing this for three months, so she definitely can't play with it. If you really have to tease her, then you can just show it to her. "

Of course, she doesn't understand your rambling.

"Ah?" She can't play? I heard people say that all kids like this, so I bought it. " Su Qian Jie scratched the back of his head. "Why don't I change to something else the next time I come?"

"It's best if she can play with it." Xiao Qing Ran curled her lips and did not have much expectations for that. She raised her head and teased: "But I said that you were vague enough as an uncle to prepare gifts for his child? You want to get away with it with a rattle drum? "

"Of course not, I didn't have the time to prepare when I came out this time. Just you wait, I'll definitely prepare a good one for you next time." Su Qian Jie seemed to like this child a lot. He didn't even take his eyes off Xiao Qing Ran.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Qingran suddenly thought of his usual cold look. Now that he had a girl with him, he was extremely fond of her. Normally, others wouldn't even be allowed to hug her.

Su Qianjie had never come into contact with such a young child before and was currently in high spirits. When his eyes landed on the child's hand, which was not much bigger than a chess piece, he was momentarily excited. His peripheral vision swept over the dazed person, and then he laughed as he extended a finger to poke at his hand.

In his dreams, the child also felt that he was being teased. His fingers trembled as he slightly clenched his fists.

Su Qianjie's eyes lit up. She felt that the situation was quite interesting and poked her palm once more.

With a faint groan, his fingers clenched even tighter, almost forming a fist.

"Hehe ~" When that guy saw the child's involuntary laughter, he immediately shifted his gaze and put his claw on the child's face.

However, before his hand could touch her face, his wrist was pinched.

"What are you doing?" A cold voice came from behind him.

Su Qian Jie's body stiffened and his eyelids jumped. He felt the cold air behind him swallow as he turned his head and chuckled, "Three … "Third brother ~"

Su Qianhan's expression was ugly.

His precious daughter was not this kid's toy.

"It seems like you've been too idle lately. The academy teachers aren't as conscientious as they were before." He sneered and threatened, "Do you want This King to order two teachers to teach you how to behave independently?"

"No need, no need. The teachers are really strict. I only found a chance to come out and check on you guys when I heard that you guys had returned. Also, give something to my niece while you're at it." Su Qianjie felt a chill run down his spine as he looked pleadingly at Xiao Qing Ran.

On the other side, Xiao Qing Qing looked at the two brothers with her arms crossed, not stopping them.

Su Qian Jie's face became bitter as he begged for mercy, "Third brother, you didn't come back with much effort, so don't treat me like this. You should know that I was worried for a long time when you left the capital. Can't you spare me this time because I helped you shoulder so many problems?"

Su Qian Han glanced at him and released his hand, "You are also from the royal family."

The meaning behind his words was, that's what you should do. I don't owe you a favor, don't use this to talk to me.

Su Qian Jie curled his lips and twisted his wrist. "Even if I were a member of the royal family, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be meddling in this mess."

Su Qian Han covered You You with the quilt, and heard the man's ridicule from the side. He frowned, "What did you say?"
