After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

Hearing laughter from the courtyard from afar, Yan Changqing gestured, not wanting to disturb them.

As he got closer, he was discovered by Nanny Deng, who cooperated very well and asked the servants around him to keep quiet.

Nanny Deng felt that the Prince Consort came back at just the right time, neither too early nor too late.

What she was most worried about was that the criticisms against the eldest princess in the capital, especially those about child abuse, would reach Yan Changqing's ears.

Even though they were far apart, it was impossible for Yan Changqing to be completely unaware of it.

At this moment, His Highness was having fun with the children, and those rumors were simply dispelled.

She wanted her husband to take a closer look and see how good her prince was.

Even when dealing with these concubines with unknown origins, not only do they take the time to educate them, they are also able to play together with them.

Yan Changqing didn't want to disturb them, so he just watched from a distance.

The light twilight and the candlelight that had just been lit in the courtyard, the smile on Qin Yaoguang's lips was so vivid and bright, and her beautiful eyes were like stars, beautiful and mysterious.

The children gathered around her, stood outside the line according to the rules of tossing pot, and took turns to throw pot into the pot about ten feet away in front of them.

He found that whether it was Qin Yaoguang or the child, eight out of ten people hit the target.

Far more than the powerful and wealthy families he knew.

Every time a child scored a goal, there would be a small cheer.

Every time, Qin Yaoguang took the lead in applauding, and was truly happy for those who made the right choice, as if it was a great and fulfilling event.

With her enthusiastic response, everyone was infected by her enthusiasm and played the little game of tossing pots with great devotion.

Looking at her, Yan Changqing couldn't help but think of the little things that happened after he met her in the cave.

He would never have thought that he would meet his wife at the most powerless moment of his life.

She also thought of the dangerous attack she encountered on her way back to Beijing after leaving the villa.

He was just about to lose her.

Thinking of this, he felt heartbroken and annoyed.

What's heartbreaking is that as the eldest princess, she can't escape the disputes between imperial power and aristocratic families.

Not only was his life threatened, but he also had to face the mysterious death of his own grandmother. He took the initiative to assume the responsibility of taking care of the Empress Dowager in the palace, and faced off against the Cui and Xie families.

What made me angry was that I was recovering from my injuries and failed to protect her properly when she was in the most dangerous moment.

If he had been by her side when she was assassinated, he would never have let her go through such danger.

However, the past is past and there is no use in regretting.

Fortunately, he can still stand here and see her smile again.

You can see her resilience after experiencing such heart-wrenching pain.

Just as he was staring in a trance, he saw the third child, who had the worst life experience but the best appearance among the children, looking up at him.

The third brother held an arrow in his hand and looked at him with a look full of——

hostility?

Before he could see clearly, the third child withdrew his gaze and called softly, "Mother."

His voice was not loud, but Qin Yaoguang caught it accurately amid the noise.

"what happened?"

Qin Yaoguang asked with a smile.

The third brother raised his hand and pointed at Yan Changqing.

Following his line of sight, I saw the newly born Prince Anle standing in the shadows of flowers in the courtyard. The light softened his tall and handsome figure, and a gorgeous light danced on the vermilion lacquer on the cold-forged armor.

The mother suddenly stopped moving, and the children immediately quieted down and looked at Yan Changqing.

The laughter from just now still lingers in the air, making the present moment seem exceptionally quiet.

At this moment, Yan Changqing just felt that he was particularly redundant.

He is just an outsider.

The children looked at him with curiosity and confusion.

Although they all knew that Yan Changqing would come back tonight, and apart from him, no one else in the Princess's Mansion would appear in Huamu Hall in such armor.

But the doubts in their hearts made them forget to step forward and greet.

The fifth brother tilted his head, blinked his big eyes, and pulled the third brother's sleeve to confirm in a low voice: "Third brother, did I see it wrong?"

When he was at the hot spring villa, he spent the longest time in the courtyard where the wounded were taken care of.

How come this person looks like Chang Zhen?

The medicine that Chang Zhen drank was made by him!

what happened?

Lao Wu rubbed his eyes, and when he opened them again, it was still the same person.

He just wore different clothes, which gave him a different feeling, but he looked the same person.

The fifth child was puzzled, and the other children were also confused.

Qin Yaoguang signaled to his servants to put away the pitching pot and walked towards Yan Changqing.

"You're back?"

Her tone was calm, not surprised, not unexpected, not excited, just a normal greeting.

It was as if he had never been away for the entire ten years, as if he had just been away for half a day as a guest and had returned home.

Strangely, the surging emotions in Yan Changqing's heart were completely calmed down by her simple greeting.

He said, "I'm back."

Qin Yaoguang turned around and waved to the children: "Come and meet your father."

The five children finally reacted, looked at each other, and stepped forward to greet.

"Everyone, get up."

Yan Changqing was very pleased to appear in front of them as a father for the first time, and looked at Qin Yaoguang with gratitude.

Thanks to her, these children were taught so well.

But now he doesn't know how to get along with them.

Looking at Yan Shouzhuo, the other person's eyes were also full of doubts.

Yan Changqing laughed heartily, pointed at himself and asked, "Have you ever seen my father?"

Lao Wu couldn't hold it in any longer and asked crisply, "Father, is that you in the other courtyard?"

"Oh?"

Yan Changqing asked back: "Why does Xiaowu think so?"

"He looks exactly like you!"

Yan Changqing shook his head: "No."

Seeing that even the most stable second brother couldn't hide his curiosity, he explained: "He is my stand-in."

substitute?

The second brother seemed to be thinking about something.

It is a common thing for kings, princes, generals and ministers to look for substitutes.

It's just because they are of noble status and value their lives very much.

If you keep a substitute in advance, it will be like having an extra life in case of an accident.

However, willingness is one thing, and whether one can find it is another.

For most stand-ins, it is not easy just to have a similar appearance and body shape. With proper disguise and long-term training, they can be used at the critical moment.

But the man in the villa looked almost exactly like Yan Changqing!

Yan Changqing continued, "It was because I heard that he looked very similar to me that I asked him to come look for Hu Yanjin. I didn't expect that you saw him first."

"I took the time to meet him a few days ago. He was really good."

It turned out to be the case.

Seeing the expressions of understanding on the children's faces, Qin Yaoguang looked down at the brilliant chrysanthemum embroidered with gold thread on the hem of her skirt and held back her smile.

Edit, you continue to edit.

I didn't expect that this General Yan is also a great talent in the world of deception.
