After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

Pearl grinned and reached out to Yin Cheng, saying in a childish voice, "Hug!"

Yin Cheng picked up Xiao Yuanyuan's face, weighed it in his hand, and said, "Hmm, it's a bit heavy."

Pearl pouted, tilted her head, and the hairpin on her head poked her father's neck.

Yin Cheng thought to himself: No wonder my wife said that Pearl is too young to wear these things. She really is not suitable.

Pearl pouted and let out a soft "humph," "I'm not heavy, I'm a light and airy little guy."

"Alright, little rascal." Yin Cheng pinched the little round face. "Say goodbye to your royal uncle, we're going back now."

Pearl turned her head and waved, "Goodbye, Uncle Emperor."

Yin Moyi waved goodbye to Pearl with reluctance, secretly planning that when her man returned from Baishui City, she would definitely drag him out to have a child.

Half a month later, the little pearl hero is once again leaping across rooftops and scaling walls, with his exclusive sound effects back online.

Yin Cheng had to listen to his son's chatter while his son's gold and silver jewelry poked his flesh.

He himself didn't seem to care, but when Lin Nian got home, she saw many pressure marks on the man's neck and jaw and felt heartbroken. "You too, you could have just taken them off for Pearl."

"Our pearl really likes it, so let him wear it to play with," Yin Cheng said. "Our son looks quite cute in this outfit, like a lump of gold."

Lin Nian: "..." She was really worried about the man's level of education.

Pearl chimed in, "I really like Pearl, I wear it for fun!"

Lin Nian poked Xiao Yuanyuan's face, "Silly girl." He suddenly remembered the gift Zhao Duo had given to Pearl and hurriedly went to find it.

"Pearl, you have a gift!" Lin Nian shook the little bell in her hand. "Guess who gave it to you."

Pearl scratched her face. "I don't know."

Lin Nian handed the little bell to Pearl, "It's Brother Zhao Duo, do you remember him? He's the little brother who doesn't like to smile."

"Yes! I remember!" Pearl pointed to her belt. "Daddy."

"Should I tie it on?"

"Uh-huh!"

Yin Cheng chimed in sarcastically, "What brother? He's clearly just a blond guy riding a will-o'-the-wisp."

Lin Nian glared at the man. What nonsense are you spouting in front of the child!

Pearl tied a small bell to her hair, bounced around a couple of times, and then noticed the bell wasn't ringing. "Huh?"

Lin Nian said, "I guess it's some kind of decoration; it's quite pretty."

The small bell is made entirely of silver, resembling a round ball, suspended by a red string with tassels hanging from the bottom. It seems to serve a similar purpose to a jade pendant, likely worn elegantly at the waist.

Pearl was overjoyed and ran out to show it off to everyone.

Yin Cheng frowned as he looked at her. "Why does Pearl seem a little dim-witted?"

"Because you're stupid," Lin Nian said. "The baby takes after you."

Yin Cheng said, "If he follows my example, he should grow into a tall and handsome man, about 1.9 meters tall." He thought about it and agreed.

Lin Nian: "..."

Lin Nian can now understand most of the modern language spoken by men, and it is precisely because she can understand it that she feels speechless.

Whose son is so tall?! Does he even want to get married?!

Pearl had no idea that her father had high expectations for her growth.

-----------------

After spending more than a month in the capital, the Yanru delegation was ready to leave. Before their departure, Yin Mo specially hosted a farewell banquet for Kongsangqi.

The banquet was held in the Imperial Garden.

Hua Yue was somewhat depressed. She returned to Yan Ru, unsure when she would see everyone again.

Lin Nian noticed that Hua Yue was particularly unhappy, and wanted to imitate a man by throwing a small orange at Hua Yue.

However, he underestimated the strength of his grip, and the little orange rolled in a low arc before rolling back to his feet.

Lin Nian: "..."

Yin Cheng thought his wife had accidentally dropped the orange. He picked up the small orange at his feet, peeled it, and took a bite. He immediately felt a sharp pain from the sourness.

What's going on with the Imperial Household Department? Buying such sour oranges.

Lin Nian noticed the man's expression and asked softly, "Is it very sour?"

Yin Cheng nodded. "Sour."

Lin Nian took a petal from the man's hand, tasted it, and said, "It's quite delicious."

"Isn't it sour?"

Lin Nian shook her head and took the remaining orange segments from the man's hand.

Yin Cheng peeled open another one, took a bite, and found it was still very sour.

He looked down at Pearl, who was sitting obediently, and put a piece of pearl into her mouth.

Pearl had a natural, blind trust in her father, and took a bite of an orange segment, chewing and chewing.

The next moment, even the pearl was forced to reveal a mask of pain from the acid.

"Is it really that sour?" Lin Nian thought the father and son's expressions were exaggerated. He ate the rest. "It's delicious."

Yin Cheng's gaze shifted from his wife's face to her belly.

Uh……

Yin Cheng tossed an orange to Hua Yue.

Hua Yue was still feeling sad when she took a bite of an orange segment, and the sourness instantly woke her up.

He bared his teeth at Yin Cheng, and although there was no sound, Yin Cheng knew that Little Eggplant was probably swearing quite filthy...

At the head of the table, Yin Mo also peeled a small orange.

His expression was so natural that you couldn't tell whether the little orange was sour or not.

Yin Cheng felt that his brother's expression was not very useful for reference. After all, he had been the emperor for so many years and his expression management was already at its best.

"Uh... Niannian," Yin Cheng said, "when we get back to the manor, we'll have the physician take your pulse."

"Hmm, I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Lin Nian suddenly realized, his eyes widening as he touched his stomach. "Could it be...?"

"Most likely? Wasn't it the same last time?"

Lin Nian smiled and said, "Mmm!"

Pearl glanced at her father for a while, then at her stepfather, completely unaware of the riddle the two adults were playing.

Hua Yue looked in the direction of the family of three, then looked down at the half-eaten orange in her hand, and suddenly smiled.

He said to Kong Sangqi, "Let's go back today, I miss home."

Kong Sangqi was suddenly stunned.

"You..." Kong Sangqi wanted to ask him if he had really let go of the people and things of Da Yin, but he couldn't bring himself to ask.

The words were on the tip of his tongue, but only one remained: "Okay."

Hua Yue ate the sour orange in her hand in one bite, her cheeks bulging, but not a single tear fell.

Based on Yin Cheng's understanding of Kong Sangqi, he was bound to cause trouble on the last day.

Who knew that after the banquet, Kong Sangqi behaved himself properly and honestly, without causing any trouble.

Until the Yanru delegation finished the banquet and left the palace and the capital, nothing happened at all.

Yin Cheng was quite unaccustomed to Kong Sangqi's sudden change in temperament.

That evening, the royal physician was summoned to the main building to examine the prince and confirm the news.

Pearl is going to be a big brother.

Pearl was overjoyed. She lay on her little brother's belly and listened for a long time, constantly asking when her little brother would come out.

Yin Cheng carried Pearl to his own small bed. "From today onwards, you'll be sleeping by yourself."

Pearl looked pitiful and wronged, her lips pouting to the sky, "Why! I want to sleep with Daddy!"

"If you move around, you'll kick your little brother."

Upon hearing this, Pearl realized that her younger brother was more important, so she reluctantly wrapped herself in her blanket and went to sleep.

Before Yin Cheng had even left, he sat up, hugging the pink bow-adorned ball. "Daddy, can't I sleep with you?"

"You're three years old now, you need to be aware of your own gender." Yin Cheng patted his little boy's head. "Be brave, when you're a bit older, you'll have to have your own room."
