Remarried to a top-tier playboy, her reborn ex-husband is filled with regret.

Xiao Fang saw Yun Shuyao come out of the restaurant and didn't linger.

He entrusted all matters concerning the execution ground to Lu Zhao.

Tell him to keep an eye on what's going on, wrap things up, clear the area, and report to the Ministry of Justice.

After saying that, he mounted his horse and headed straight for the Prince of Zhenbei's residence.

He felt uneasy.

Although Yun Shuyao said she wanted to see it, he was afraid she wouldn't be able to bear the sight of being slowly sliced ​​to death.

Upon entering the mansion, he strode towards the inner courtyard.

Only when he saw Yun Shuyao sitting by the cradle, gently rocking and playing with his daughter did he feel a little relieved.

The little prince was fast asleep in the cradle next to him.

Yun Shuyao remained calm.

There was no crying, no stunned silence.

Her face had an extremely calm and relaxed expression.

Xiao Fang stood at the door and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The breath that had been held in his throat finally dissipated.

"My husband is back."

Yun Shuyao looked up and gave him a gentle smile.

"I'll have someone bring dinner."

"it is good."

Xiao Fang walked over and sat down next to her.

He reached out and naturally pulled the person into his arms.

With his other hand, he reached into the cradle and gently touched his daughter's little face.

"Our girl is really beautiful."

Yun Shuyao pouted slightly.

"Not like me, but just like you."

Xiao Fang lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead.

"I just can't bear to let you suffer the pain of childbirth again."

Otherwise, let's have another son, he'll definitely look like you.

Yun Shuyao looked up at him.

"You want a son?"

Xiao Fang did not answer directly.

I just want you to be safe.

Yun Shuyao paused for a moment, then smiled.

The two of them leaned against each other.

The daughter in the cradle, her little hands clutching the corner of the blanket.

The little prince in the cradle smacked his lips in his sleep.

The room was very quiet.

It was so quiet that only the occasional soft popping of the lamp wick could be heard.

"The coronation will take place in five days; the Ministry of Rites has already visited today."

Yun Shuyao said softly.

Xiao Fang simply smiled and nodded.

"I have the kitchen prepare some snacks to be sent to the Empress Dowager's palace tomorrow."

She's been feeling quite down these past few days.

Xiao Fang nodded again.

"It's kind of you to think of that."

The crown prince is still young; let's take things one step at a time."

Xiao Fang raised his hand and tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

"First, we'll put the crown prince on the throne. Then we'll figure out the rest for him step by step."

Yun Shuyao leaned on his shoulder.

"it is good."

"With you here, I'm not afraid of anything."

Five days later, the coronation ceremony took place.

Before dawn, people inside and outside the palace were already busy.

In front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, on both sides of the imperial road, stood numerous civil and military officials.

Banners fluttered like a forest, and the ceremonial guard was imposing.

Ritual music and music were played all the way from the palace gates to the foot of the steps.

As dawn broke, the master of ceremonies announced the start of the ceremony.

Xiao Fang carried the little prince as he walked out of the side hall.

Today he was wearing the official robes that Yun Shuyao had made for him.

It has a bright red background with gold cloud patterns embroidered on it.

It wears a black lacquered crown with a long feather inserted on each side.

This outfit is unlike the court attire of ordinary civil officials.

He does have a certain military authority.

The moment he stepped onto the imperial path, the entire palace fell silent.

Everyone saw the child in his arms.

The young prince was wrapped in a bright yellow quilt with dragon patterns and was fast asleep.

Xiao Fang held him with one arm, his posture casual and even a little lazy.

But every step he took felt like stepping on everyone's hearts.

No one dared to look up.

Among the officials, some secretly glanced at him out of the corner of their eye before quickly lowering their heads.

This empire has truly fallen into the hands of someone outside the family.

Someone sighed inwardly.

Some people are hiding their discontent.

Most people simply kneel.

The master of ceremonies began chanting.

"The auspicious time has arrived—"

"The Crown Prince ascends the throne, succeeding to the throne—"

"The Regent's Acting Ceremony—"

Xiao Fang carried the little prince and climbed the jade steps one by one.

He wasn't in a hurry.

But every step he took was very steady.

He stopped in front of the altar.

He gently lifted the little prince with both hands.

The morning light shone on the young prince's face, and also on Xiao Fang's features.

That face was so young.

So young that he hardly seemed like someone who could command the entire court.

But it was he who stood at the highest point of this imperial city.

The master of ceremonies announced it again.

"Offering sacrifices to Heaven—"

"We hereby proclaim to Heaven, Earth, and our ancestors that the Crown Prince has ascended the throne, and the dynasty will endure forever—"

Xiao Fang held the little prince and bowed three times to heaven and earth.

Every time he bent over, all the civil and military officials in the court followed suit and prostrated themselves on the ground.

As he straightened up, his gaze swept across the front of the hall.

He swept his gaze over all the officials.

He glanced at the princes who had their heads down and eyes closed.

He swept his gaze over the relatives who couldn't hide their resentment.

No one dared to meet his gaze.

The ceremony is complete.

The official's voice faded.

"kneel--"

All the civil and military officials knelt down.

"Your Majesty, we, your humble servants, pay our respects!"

"Greetings, Regent!"

The wave of cheers grew louder and louder.

Xiao Fang held the little prince and stood at the highest point.

The wind gently blew the hem of the bright red official robe.

He looked down at the child in his arms.

The little prince is already fast asleep.

Her little mouth was slightly open.

He seemed unaware that he had become the new emperor of the Great Liang Dynasty.

Looking at that small face, Xiao Fang's expression gradually softened.

"Brother Emperor."

He said in a low voice.

"I will handle the matters you entrusted to my brother well and will certainly not let you down."

The wind was very strong.

That sentence was spoken very softly.

The softest thing he could hear was himself.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, Xiao Fang officially became the regent.

In the imperial court, his words were law, and no one dared to disobey them.

But he didn't move into the palace.

He still lived in the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion with the young emperor.

People outside are all guessing.

Some say that Xiao Fang is trying to "use the emperor to command the feudal lords".

Some people say that the young emperor will be ruined by his upbringing sooner or later.

Only those in the manor knew that Xiao Fang had never thought of it that way.

The young emperor was placed in the quietest room in the backyard.

Yun Shuyao took care of it personally.

The young princess and he were separated by only two doors.

Both children love to sleep.

The little emperor made the loudest noise while nursing than anyone else.

Yun Shuyao often said this to Xiao Fang with a smile.

"He has quite a good appetite."

Xiao Fang looked at the little emperor in the cradle with great satisfaction.

"As long as you can eat, you'll grow strong."

When the young emperor cried at night, Yun Shuyao got up.

Xiaojun also woke up, and Chunzhi was too busy to take pictures, so she took pictures of one at a time.

Sometimes Xiao Fang would come back late.

Seeing Yun Shuyao leaning against the cradle, patting the little emperor while dozing off, I noticed her.

He went over and gently carried the person back to bed.

"You should go to sleep too. I'll have someone watch over you tonight."

Yun Shuyao shook her head.

"I'm worried."

Xiao Fang was helpless.

"Then I'll take care of you. You need to get some rest."

Xiao Fang moved a chair and sat down on the rocking bed.

One foot is on the rocking bed, gently swaying back and forth.

The little emperor was smacking his lips inside.

The young princess was next door, occasionally letting out a hum.

Xiao Fang sat under the lamp, looking at the two children.

He felt that this room was the most important place in the house.

During the day, when the little emperor was awake, Yun Shuyao would carry him to the courtyard to bask in the sun.

The little princess was also carried out.

The two swaddled babies lay side by side, one fussy and the other quiet.

"What do you think will happen to those two in the future?"

Yun Shuyao asked.

Xiao Fang looked at the two children.

"They will grow up together, and my daughter will protect the little emperor and make sure he is not wronged."

"Are you so sure it's our daughter protecting the young emperor?"

Xiao Fang laughed.

"My daughter naturally resembles me, so she's the one protecting others."

"He is the emperor, and you are the regent."

Yun Shuyao said softly.

"You'll have a lot to shoulder in the future."

Xiao Fang did not answer.

He reached out and pulled Yun Shuyao close, letting her lean on his shoulder.

"Let's focus on today first, and then we'll talk about tomorrow."

Life goes on like this, one day after another.

There was an important matter in the imperial court, and Xiao Fang was tasked with handling it.

Even minor matters at the manor cause Yun Shuyao concern.

Yun Shuwen traveled all over the country with the Qin family's merchant caravan, only returning to the capital once every few months.

On this day, he brought back a message.

"Sister, I'm getting married."
