Didn't Love You Enough

Chapter 56

In the third year of Baotai, Her Majesty Empress gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl.

The dragon and the phoenix were auspicious, and the whole world celebrated.

Lin Jiabao's twins were born prematurely this time, so both children were relatively thin and small.

His fourth son's formal name was Xuanyuan Ruijiong, and his nickname was Zhuangzhuang. Lin Jiabao hoped that his son would grow up healthily.

His youngest daughter's formal name was Xuanyuan Ruiyi, and her nickname was Nannan. She was deeply loved by everyone.

On a sunny afternoon, Lin Jiabao was quietly and attentively painting in the imperial garden.

Dun Dun was playing with his two younger brothers.

Xuanyuan Hancheng had specially ordered people to set up a swing in the imperial garden for the children to play on.

At this moment, Zhuangzhuang and Nannan were sleeping on a small bed at the side.

When the three boys were tired from playing, they surrounded their younger brother and sister's small bed and watched their sleeping faces.

"Younger brother is eating his finger again. Is he not full yet?" Right saw that his younger brother was sleeping soundly with his finger in his mouth.

"You were like this when you were young too.

Shh!

Lower your voice!

Don't wake Zhuangzhuang and Nannan up, "Dun Dun said in a low voice.

Dun Dun was almost six years old now, and he looked like an older brother.

His two younger brothers trusted him very much and liked to follow him around all day, becoming his two little tails.

Left and Right hurriedly covered their mouths and nodded in unison.

They would cry if they woke up their younger brothers and sisters, especially their younger sister. She would cry very loudly, and it wouldn't be easy to coax her.

Lin Jiabao finished painting and put down his brush.

On the xuan paper was the scene of the children playing. The beautiful scene of hundreds of flowers blooming together with the lively children was a masterpiece.

Lin Jiabao had some talent in painting, and in recent years, he often practiced, so his painting skills were already quite good.

Lin Jiabao had once presented a thousand-hand Guanyin painting that he had personally painted at the Empress Dowager's birthday. Everyone praised Empress's astonishing talent in painting.

After that, the officials and nobles of the capital took pride in obtaining Empress's calligraphy.

"Father Emperor … Father Emperor …" Little Left and Little Right saw their father coming and ran towards Xuanyuan Hancheng.

After Xuanyuan Hancheng finished his work, he also came to the Imperial Garden.

No matter how many worries he had, as long as he saw Guai Bao and his children, all his worries disappeared.

Xuanyuan Hancheng carried one child in each hand. His arm strength was better than before. When his three sons were young, they loved to throw them high in the air. Over time, he had also practiced.

Xuanyuan Hancheng was also very satisfied with the strength of his arms. He could often stand and hug Guai Bao for a long time.

Dun Dun didn't know that his father was thinking about a scene not suitable for children. He looked enviously at his father hugging his two younger brothers, but then he remembered that his father had hugged him like this when he was young.

He was the Crown Prince and was different from his younger brothers. Although he did not know what the Crown Prince was going to do, he understood that it was a heavy responsibility.

This way, he could better protect his younger brothers and sisters in the future.

Lin Jiabao looked at his lover and children walking towards him. How beautiful!

This was his home.

"Husband, you are very happy today." Lin Jiabao saw Xuanyuan Hancheng's happy expression and asked him.

"Hanqi, that brat, is finally coming back." Xuanyuan Hancheng replied with a smile.

"Prince Yi is coming back. That's great." Lin Jiabao was also very happy when he heard this news.

Prince Yi did not abide by the original two year agreement and stayed in the border city for three years.

It turned out that Xuanyuan Hanqi met the person in his life in the border city. After that, he specially sent a letter back to the capital to tell his imperial brother that he must pursue the person he liked before returning to the capital.

The person that Xuanyuan Hanqi fell in love with at first sight was a Shun 'er named Gu Huanian.

Gu Huanian was originally the only son of a merchant in the border city. Unfortunately, his family declined and his parents died one after another.

Gu Huanian could only take over his family's fur business. He took his family's housekeeper and several servants with him and traveled north and south with the caravan to support his family's business.

Although Gu Huanian was a Shun 'er, he was stronger than the average man.

Faced with such a Shun 'er, Xuanyuan Hanqi was deeply attracted to him.

Xuanyuan Hanqi met Gu Huanian by chance.

Xuanyuan Hanqi was captivated by his wheat-colored skin and unswerving personality.

At first, the pursuit did not go well. Gu Huanian kept a respectful distance from this Prince from the capital.

He also knew his own limitations. He knew that although he was a Shuang 'er, he did not have any outstanding beauty or outstanding qualities.

It seemed that this Prince was just a temporary novelty.

Xuanyuan Hanqi did not give up and continued to fight. Instead, the more he fought, the braver he became.

He shamelessly followed Gu Huanian around the caravan. His gentle and considerate care gradually entered Gu Huanian's heart.

When bandits robbed the caravan, Xuanyuan Hanqi heroically saved Gu Huanian.

Like this, Xuanyuan Hanqi finally won the heart of a beauty this year.

When Xuanyuan Hancheng received the news that his younger brother had brought his sweetheart back to the capital, he was very happy for his younger brother.

"Guai Bao, let's go to the Eternal Life Palace together. Imperial Mother will definitely be happy to hear this." Xuanyuan Hancheng knew that his imperial mother also missed his younger brother.

"Okay!" Lin Jiabao took the children and went to the Eternal Life Palace with Xuanyuan Hancheng.

In the Eternal Life Palace, the Empress Dowager was happy to see her grandson and granddaughter. After hearing the good news from Xuanyuan Hancheng, she became even more excited.

"That's great!

Finally, there's going to be a happy occasion! "Prince Yi's marriage had always been a worry in her heart.

Now, she could finally put down the worry that had been hanging in her heart for the past three years.

In the fifth month of the fourth year of Baotai, Prince Yi married his Husband's Consort.

Hundreds of officials came to celebrate. Although Gu Huanian was only the son of a small merchant and a Husband, no one raised any objections.

Ever since Lin Jiabao was crowned Empress, many benevolent halls were set up to take care of the abandoned Husband or Husband who lived in poverty. They also hired people to teach them skills.

In these years, the status of Husband's Consort gradually rose.

The court officials who had children with Shuang 'er no longer treated them as outsiders like before. They also began to love and care for them as if they were their own children. Some of the court officials even married Shuang' er.

When Crown Prince Xuanyuan Ruiyi was 18 years old, Xuanyuan Hancheng announced that he would abdicate as Retired Emperor and pass the throne to the Crown Prince.

Xuanyuan Hancheng took Guai Bao to tour the great rivers and mountains of the Xuanyuan Empire.

However, Xuanyuan Hancheng's tour only lasted for half a year before they hurriedly returned to the Imperial Palace.

The reason was that Guai Bao was pregnant again!

After Lin Jiabao gave birth to the twins, there was no more news. Xuanyuan Hancheng was already very satisfied.

He and Guai Bao had four sons and a daughter. This was a wonderful thing that he didn't even dare to dream of in his previous life.

He didn't expect that Guai Bao would be pregnant again. He was both happy and worried.

At the age of thirty-five, Lin Jiabao gave birth to Shuang 'er, their last child, without any mishap.

Xuanyuan Hancheng was very happy with this little Husband.

Xuanyuan Hancheng named his youngest son Xuanyuan Ruizhen, which meant treasure.

He was nicknamed Xiao Guai because he inherited Guai Bao's pair of small dimples and big watery eyes. He was really very cute.

Ever since he had Xiao Guai, Xuanyuan Ruiyi was the happiest.

He finally had a little sister that he missed dearly. However, this little sister was different from what he imagined, so he felt a bit of regret.

He didn't know if it was because his little sister grew up with the four boys, but his little sister was even more mischievous than her little brothers.

In addition, no matter if it was his father, his little brothers, or himself, they all spoiled his little sister.

Over time, his little sister developed a fierce personality that didn't lose out to the boys.

Ai!

She was the opposite of the obedient little sister that he imagined!

When Xuanyuan Ruiyi heard Xiao Guai sweetly call him big brother after he grew up, this was the true definition of being obedient and cute!

Xiao Guai was destined to be a child that was doted on by everyone. His big sisters and brothers were all older than him by more than ten years. They all doted on this little brother who was as obedient and cute as his father.

Xiao Guai's appearance was the combination of Xuanyuan Hancheng and Lin Jiabao's strengths. At a young age, he already had an amazing appearance.

Under the love of his brothers and fierce big sisters, Xiao Guai grew up healthily. By the time he was 15, he was already a little beauty that could cause the downfall of a city.

Xuanyuan Hancheng felt very vexed when he saw that his most precious child had grown up to be so beautiful.

It really was a family with a hundred families wanting to have a child!

Xie Changqing's grandson, Liu Zeqi's youngest son, the son of the Minister of Personnel, and so on. They all wanted to marry Xiao Guai.

There was also the Zheng Jia's youngest son. Hmph!

Your Zheng Jia's eldest son already kidnapped my Nannan, and now your youngest son dares to covet my Xiao Guai!

No way!

Who knew which family would benefit from this obedient and sensible Xiao Guai in the future? No way!

He had to properly test them. Most importantly, he had to make sure that Xiao Guai liked him as well.

Lin Jiabao saw his husband's vexed expression and patted his back. "Husband, don't think too much. The children will eventually grow up and have their own families. The children and grandchildren will have their own blessings!

I will always be by your side! "

Xuanyuan Hancheng pulled Guai Bao into his arms and kissed him passionately.

"That's right!

The children and grandchildren will have their own blessings! "It's enough to have you by my side in this life!

— The End
