The cubs assigned by the empire are a bit cute

Koukou tells Xiaojin about his trip to the desert city.

Xiao Jin stared at Koukou's small round face for a moment, afraid of missing any details, he interrupted Koukou to ask his own small questions from time to time.

For example, how long does it take to arrive by plane; what does the desert city look like; what does the base look like; and are the soldiers uncles all mighty and tall...

Xiaojin learned that the small toy that Koukou gave was given by the commander of the Ninth Army, and she opened her mouth wide in astonishment: "Is it the real commander?"

The commander of the Ninth Legion, who is said to be as powerful as His Majesty, is stationed in the desert city to protect the entire Henghai Empire.

The education teachers mentioned that the Ninth Legion has the bravest warriors in the entire empire, defending against countless invaders and interstellar pirates.

Koukou nodded, talking about Uncle Tang and Sister Shen, as well as all kinds of strange aircraft and combat weapons.

He was carried by his father and Uncle Tang to visit many places, but unfortunately his little head can't hold so many things, and some of them have forgotten their names.

Xiao Jin knelt in front of Kou Kou and said devoutly, "Kuu Kou, can I go too? Xiao Jin wants to go too."

I don't know much about Koukou, so I should be able to go. "I'll ask Baba."

Xiao Jin nodded, and pressed his hands happily on Kou Kou's small shoulders: "Kuu Kou, when Xiao Jin grows up, he will protect the Eternal Sea Empire like Uncle Tang of the Ninth Legion!"

"Ah."

But in that case, I won't be able to go back to the imperial capital often, Koukou is a little worried.

But it doesn't matter, when Xiao Jin grows up, he will grow up too, and he can go to the desert city with Xiao Jin!

When the two children got together and whispered together, Mrs. Cen and Teacher Helen also inadvertently talked about Xiaojin's situation.

Teacher Helen explained: "Currently, there are a few suitable applicants who are about to enter the first contact stage. According to our understanding of Xiaojin, he is quite independent, and he should respect his own ideas as much as possible."

Mrs. Cen understood that although Xiao Jin was only half a year older than Kou Kou, she was obviously more mature, mainly because she was a little more thoughtful.

She remembered a person, and asked: "If the soldiers of the Imperial Legion apply, is it because of their military merits that they can be given priority?"

"Yes." Teacher Helen said, "Soldiers who have made important contributions to the empire do have priority."

Mrs. Cen kept this matter in mind and discussed it with His Majesty when she was about to go back.

Axu asked softly beside him: "Teacher Helen, in the case of our wife and Your Majesty, according to the regulations, can we actually raise the cubs separately?"

Teacher Helen thought about it for a while, then nodded: "Theoretically, that's the case."

"Is that so?" Mrs. Cen thought, Koukou was raised in the name of His Majesty, and it seems that it is not impossible to raise Xiao Jin in her name.

However, if this is the case, wouldn't Xiao Jin be of higher seniority than Kou Kou?

Mrs. Cen could not help but smile on her kind face.

But she didn't name her intention to apply for Xiaojin's custody, for fear of delaying the child's adoption by other more suitable applicants.

After returning to Shengmei Palace, Mrs. Cen just got out of the car with Koukou in her arms when she heard him greet the guards not far away.

"Uncle! Have I returned home yet?"

The little milk voice is quite penetrating.

The guard stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty has returned and is in the meeting hall. Do you want to go there? Or do you need me to convey something?"

Koukou looked at his aunt: "I want to go and see Baba. Can I go, auntie?"

He grabbed the small buttons on his clothes and twisted them back and forth.

"Go." Mrs. Cen put him down, seeing that he was about to start running as soon as he jumped, she hurriedly said, "Don't run, let the uncle guard lead you."

"Oh." Koukou's little feet, which were about to take big strides, were brought back very obediently, moving in small steps, and even turned his head to wave his little hand at his aunt, "Auntie, I didn't run away, I'm very good clatter."

Mrs. Cen smiled and waved her hands, the little buttoned up figure looked comfortable and cute.

She said to Axu: "Go and see how the dinner preparations are going. I think Kou Kou is a little fatter, but His Majesty is thinner. Let them prepare an extra soup for His Majesty."

"Okay." Axu went to order.

Outside the chamber.

When Koukou was about to approach the gate, he walked lightly, and pressed his little index finger on his little mouth all the way, signaling to the guards and uncles around him not to speak.

He wanted to go quietly and see what Dad was doing.

Outside the gate.

Koukou leaned against the crack of the door and listened curiously. There seemed to be a strange voice inside, and he said some things he couldn't understand.

He also remembers one time when his dad was in a meeting and put him on the table, and a whole bunch of gray-bearded grandpas seemed to freak out

—Of course, he was also taken aback.

Only Dad smiled badly.

A very bad dad, yes.

Just as he was listening, the sound inside disappeared, and before Koukou could react, the door was opened from the inside, and his small body was unsteady and threw himself inside.

Fortunately, the people inside the door had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and hugged the little prince who was listening to the door with one hand.

Koukou didn't even stand still, and saw his father sitting on a chair looking at him, with a calm expression, and his narrow and long eyes seemed a little displeased.

There was also a large group of uncles and grandpas, all looking at him strangely.

Koukou raised his hand and waved to his father hesitantly: "Baba... I... I went wrong."

After speaking, he turned around and raised his legs to withdraw.

Jiang Muhan stopped him in a deep voice: "Don't run away. Come to Dad."

"Huh?" Koukou turned his head to look, his father didn't seem to have such a fierce expression, he hesitated and moved to his father's side, and as soon as he got close to his father, he picked him up and put him on his lap.

Jiang Muhan rubbed his little head: "Don't keep running."

"Oh." Koukou's small body leaned into his father's arms, turned his back to the people in front of him, raised his head and asked in a low voice, "Baba, did I interrupt your work?"

Jiang Muhan nodded his nose: "No."

He raised his hand and signaled his deputy to allow the ministers to continue the meeting.

It is naturally impossible for the ministers to raise any objections to the matter of the little prince sitting on His Majesty's lap to listen together.

After all, many people here have seen the little prince at the conference table before, compared to today, it is considered normal.

Koukou listened to the speeches of his uncles, and became sleepy after a few words. He yawned in his father's arms, and accidentally fell asleep in a daze.

Jiang Muhan saw that the little guy's pajamas were hazy, so he waved his hand to let the chattering ministers leave first.

He didn't move himself, and kept hugging the warm little guy.

——Last night, he slept alone, wondering in the middle of the night, whether it would be unfilial to go to his aunt's place to snatch the little guy temporarily.

It's all right now, the little guy delivered it to the door by himself, but he was holding it tightly and refused to let go.

Koukou didn't sleep for a long time, woke up in about half an hour, and found himself sitting in the Regency Hall with his father.

Dad was still reading a document in one hand.

He grabbed his father's collar in a daze: "Baba, have I been asleep for a long time?"

"Not long." Jiang Muhan touched his forehead, normal.

He released his hands from the blanket, and stepped on his father's legs with his little feet, rubbing them.

A little waking up, inexplicably a little depressed.

Jiang Muhan saw that he pouted without speaking, let go of the document in his hand, and asked concerned: "What's wrong?"

"Hmm..." Koukou turned sideways and buried his face in his father's chest.

The disappointment after waking up from the afternoon nap was more obvious than in the morning. The warm little hands slipped into Dad's sleeves, and the soles of the feet trampled on Dad hard.

Like a little milk cat, when it gets angry, it has to do something.

Jiang Muhan saw him looking stupid like he was sullen, and let him make trouble for a while.

When Mrs. Cen came in, Koukou had already stopped, and she was facing the roof in a daze.

Jiang Muhan fed him some warm water, and asked Mrs. Cen, "Didn't you enjoy going to the training center?"

Koukou reacted very quickly at this time, and said quickly, "Happy."

Well, there is also a little bit of emotion, but the time with Xiaojin is always mostly joy.

He babbled about what he did, what he ate, and Xiaojin's reaction when he heard him talk about the desert city.

After finishing speaking, he said that he wanted to eat fruit.

Mrs. Cen happened to have something to ask His Majesty, so she asked Ah Xu to buckle it.

Koukou fell into a drowsy sleep and didn't want to walk, so he stretched out his little hand to Auntie Axu and asked her to hug her.

He turned his head and waved to both his aunt and father: "Goodbye, Koukou and Auntie have gone away. Don't pull it out, hum~"

Jiang Muhan waved his hand: "Well, I don't want you anymore either."

Koukou: "...Hmph!"

When Ah Xu left with His Royal Highness in his arms, Mrs. Cen asked, "Your Majesty, if you apply to raise Xiao Jin in my name again, what do you think?"

Jiang Muhan rarely showed a look of surprise: "You? Xiaojin?"

He understood that it should be the aunt who wanted Koukou to have a partner, "Yes, yes."

"but?"

Mrs. Cen heard that there was something in his words.

Jiang Muhan explained: "When I was in the desert city, I heard from Tang Yusen that he would like to apply for raising a cub if possible. I told him at the time that there was a child who might be suitable for him to apply for raising. That's right. It’s Xiao Jin, but he may just talk about it, but he may not take it seriously.”

"After all, he is far away in the desert city, and he has official duties, so he has no time to raise children."

"So..." Mrs. Cen actually thought of Tang Yusen today, "Then..."

She smiled and suggested, "If Xiaojin accepts Commander Tang's application for support, can he live in Shengmei Palace for the past two years? Wait for Commander Tang to return to the imperial capital before living out?"

"Of course, everything depends on their willingness, mainly Xiaojin. He is still young, so if he doesn't like this arrangement, forget it."

Jiang Muhan thought, based on the child's feelings for Koukou, he should not refuse to live in Shengmei Palace.

"I'll talk to Tang Yusen again. If he applies, he may have to come back to see Xiaojin in the near future. Let him decide for himself."

Mrs. Cen nodded: "If he doesn't apply, he should apply in my name."

She sincerely hopes that the two children will not be separated.

It's rare to see two cubs who are so close, as long as they get together and talk, everything seems to be beautiful.

Jiang Muhan saw that his aunt was still smiling when she was lost in thought, so he said softly: "If the little guy knows that his aunt loves him so much, he will be very touched."

Mrs. Cen was also rare, and said to His Majesty: "I feel sorry for Your Majesty, and Your Majesty also feels sorry for Koukou. We are a family."

Jiang Muhan nodded: "Yes."

Many days later.

Koukou was leading the little Hulu who was already much taller than him for a walk. Seeing his father approaching from a distance, he stopped and waved his hand: "Baba! Why are you here? Aren't the uncles looking for you?"

He knew that Dad was usually very busy in the afternoon, surrounded by a bunch of uncles and uncles, and he had to deal with many important things.

Jiang Muhan stepped forward to pick up the little guy, and helped him hold the little Hulu: "I have some news for you, do you want to hear it?"

"Hmm... what is it?" Koukou grabbed the military badge on his father's collar, "What news?"

Jiang Muhan smiled slightly, and couldn't help touching the little guy's forehead with the tip of his nose: "Uncle Tang is coming to visit you at Shengmei Palace, he will be there soon."

"Ah? Uncle Tang! That's great!" Koukou was agitated, and accidentally pulled off his father's collar badge with his fingers, looked down, and pressed it back in embarrassment.

Well, I can't press it back.

I could only silently stuff it into my pocket, pretending nothing happened.
