Tang Xian saw her embarrassed look and couldn't help teasing her, "When you've made up your mind, we can have another child. After all, we're going to have one eventually, aren't we? If you really don't like children, it's okay, then don't have any."

Fu Jiujiu looked at him, unable to believe that these words were spoken by a man, a man who was about to become emperor.

"Looking at me like this, don't you know your husband cherishes you above all else? I like children, but that's because they are yours and mine. If I were to make you suffer or force you into something, I certainly wouldn't."

"Can an emperor not have a son?" Fu Jiujiao asked.

She remembered that some books said that women who didn't have children were to be discarded.

"As the emperor, who could possibly control me? If I can't have children, I'll simply adopt one from the eighth brother."

Fu Jiaojiao looked at him, "Have you thought it through?"

So, have you made up your mind not to have children? If you have, then I...

Looking at him, he seemed to be serious. Fu Jiujiu quickly stopped teasing him, "I can give birth myself, and besides, our genes are so good, it would be a waste not to have children."

She didn't say she wouldn't have a child, she just felt it was a little too early now.

Having children too early is also not good for her health.

She then saw that many people around her had problems because they became pregnant too early and their bodies were not physically mature.

Then, you needn't force yourself.

"Who said it was forced?" Fu Jiujiu curved her lips, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

She was truly a little overwhelmed by the men's eyes that constantly radiated charm.

Her man is so handsome!

"I'm going to see mom and dad, it's been two days since I went back. My father must be thinking about me." Fu JiuJiu blushed and ran away.

Fu Baiman saw his daughter walk in through that small door and couldn't help but sigh, "Oh, from now on we'll be far apart. If I miss you later, I won't be able to just shout and see you."

The imperial decree has already been written. In fact, many trusted advisors are already aware of it. It just needs a propitious date to be formally announced.

Fu Baiwan now has a wide network of connections in the capital, and many people have come to curry favor with him as the father-in-law of the nation.

When the previous prince got married, he was fawned over once. Now that he was being fawned over again, he knew for sure that Tang Xian was going to ascend the throne.

Don't look at him, he may not read well, but his heart is not stupid.

"You're just never satisfied. So many women have married and left, and let me tell you, they don't even see their families every few years. Take the Princess for example..."

Fu Baimian nodded. "My wife, you always know how to speak my mind. I'm happy to hear what you have to say."

"What are you saying? I want to hear it too." Fu Jiujiao smiled and walked over, then squatted down and rested her head on her mother's leg.

"Get up, you're such a big girl now, still acting so spoiled." Tian Guihua quickly fetched a cushion for her to sit down and she gently stroked her daughter's hair.

"Even though you're grown, you're still your parents' little girl. Why can't you be a bit more spoiled?"

"That's it." Fu Baiwan smirked, he didn't know how envious he was, but unfortunately, his daughter could never be too close to him, that wouldn't do.

"Father, what did you just say to Mother?"

"My daughter is going to be a queen," Fu Baiwan said with a pursed lip.

Fu Jiujiu nodded slightly, "Here are all trustworthy people. Tang Xian picked them carefully. It's fine to listen." She added, "But outside, we can't say anything. The imperial decree hasn't come down yet."

"Alright, you know your old man isn't a fool. With no outsiders around, we can speak freely." Fu Baimian burst into laughter. It had been so long, he couldn't remember who said it first, but his daughter was destined to be an empress.

Is it him?

I don't remember.

"Chirp chirp, that palace is said to not be good. Here, your parents can still keep an eye on you. Once you go there, even if your parents want to see you, they won't be able to. Be careful, alright?"

Tian Guihua glared at him, "What's the point of saying these things? Jiujiu has Tang Qi protecting her, what could possibly happen?"

Fu Baimian's eyes were full of grievance, no one he trusted to protect him.

But thinking about Tang Qi, there wasn't really anything to worry about.

"Chirp chirp, although Tang Qi is good to you and really cares about you, just like our family, doting on girl babies, but your first child still has to be a son."

Fu JiuJiu was stunned, "Dad... how come you say that?"

What's wrong today?

Why are so many people talking about children?

Could she really be about to give birth?

"He immediately became the emperor, you giving birth to a son is face-saving, but you also have to give birth to a daughter, a daughter is thoughtful…"

"Dad..."

"Is that what a father should say?" Tian Guihua gave the man a withering look. "Jiujiu, don't listen to your father. We're not afraid, Tang Qi is looking out for you."

"Am I not afraid that my daughter will be gossiped about because of this? You don't know, some people have been talking bad about our daughter."

"Just say it if you want to, our daughter lives a good life, don't others know? Don't you know?"

Tian Guihua's words left Fu Baiwan speechless. However, it was true that his daughter was doing well.

Not long after, Fu Sanjin also arrived. To her surprise, her sister was there too. "Just in time," she said, "you're here too. There's something I want to discuss with you."

"Third Brother, what's wrong?" Fu Jiujiu asked.

What could possibly make Third Brother so serious as to ask me to discuss it with him?

Fu Sanjin glanced at her parents and felt there was nothing to hide. "I heard some rumors about Tang Qi boarding a plane."

"It seems like Father Emperor leaked the news again. Let's see everyone's reaction."

If you don't believe me, then try!

"Never mind that, Chirp. I've thought about it, and there are no pressing wars right now. For your sake, I plan to leave the capital or relinquish my current command."

"Why?" Fu Jiu Jiu was too surprised and couldn't react for a moment.

But she quickly thought to herself, "What if people say the empress dowager is wielding too much power?"

Fu Sanjin took a deep breath and nodded under Fu Jiujiu's gaze. "Jiujiu, this is for your own good. Our family has so many people in the court, both civil and military. It's easy to be criticized. Even if we brothers have a clear conscience, with so many descendants in the future, it will be difficult to control them. It's better to leave early."

Fu Jiujiu pouted, "Third brother, this isn't a discussion, you already made up your mind and just came to tell me."

Fu Sanjin awkwardly smiled, "If you don't mind."

"How come you have no objections, Third Brother? Did you hear some nonsense from someone?" Fu JiuJiu frowned. "I understand your meaning, I know you're doing this for my own good, but if you leave at this time, what about Tang Qi's brother? He just ascended the throne and is already ostracizing those who contributed to him. Wouldn't that be disheartening?"

Fu Sanjin took a deep breath of cold air and said, "That's right."

He was so worried about embarrassing his sister that he forgot all about it. "What... what should we do?"

"What should we do? We can't leave, if we do, we'll fall for their trap," Fu Jiujiao said. "If we really have to leave, it shouldn't be now. We need to retire with our achievements intact, the big plan isn't complete yet!"
