It has been seven years since Lingyi and Yixin took the throne. Yixin became busier with political affairs. Her cute little dumpling has grown quite tall for a seven-year-old boy. Little dumpling would always whine about his practice in swordsman and other studies.

Yixin had turn twenty-three this year and Lingyi and Yixin just had their fourth child. After a year, Little Dumpling was born. Yixin named her baby boy, Shen, even though she wanted a girl.

Two years later, she was pregnant again so she prayed to God to give a girl but unfortunately, it was a boy again and so she named him LeeShan.

Again, she was pregnant with her fourth child, she prayed for a girl and her prayers were answered. All the boys were like copies of their father, their looks, as well as personality, were the same. As sons who love their mother more than their father, they never leave their mother's side thus never letting the two lovebirds any privacy.

The Wang Empire had grown more large and strong. Yixin had decreased the taxes and helped the homeless people and declared free school for all the citizens regardless of their status.

Although she had to work a lot, she made time for her Little Dumping, Bun and Rice Cake. Lingyi spends time with his family when he has time.

Lingyi was sitting there on the green grass

reading some books when Little Dumping jumped on him and told Lingyi to focus on them when the family is together.

Lingyi and Little Dumping (1st child) had worn the same color robe as his father. With the two together, it made them look even more of a father and son...

Yixin was breastfeeding her only daughter,

Siming, as the other two boys watched Yixin feed Siming. Their soft cheeks flushed into red shades and their eyes sparkle like the twinkling stars at night. They looked really curious cats who want to know everything.

Little Bun (2nd child) was a serious child while Rice Cake (3rd chid) was the cry baby as he would cry if something goes wrong and when he doesn't see Yixin when he wakes up but he had the strongest heart and determination.

As for Little Dumping, he is an exact replica of Lingyi but more serious while he does his works but funny while he is not working.

As for Siming, she is very calm and she doesn't cry or smile much but when she cries and smiles it was breathtaking to see her even she is toothless.

Father Emperor and Mother Empress had moved to the other palace in the mountains where there are fresh air and herbs. Chen had gone off traveling.

After Yixin had put Siming to sleep, Lingyi and Yixin watched their children play in the garden near the pond. Their squeal and laughter bought a smile to Lingyi and Yixin's faces. Lingyi wrapped his arms around Yixin's waist and cared for Siming, who was still soundly sleeping in her mother's arms.

Lingyi leaned closer to Yixin and gave a peck on her lips and smiled as he told her something.

"I have never thought that when we first met, it would turn out like this. I wish that everything we do will bring us happiness and that we can get through any obstacles in our way. I want us to stay together until our hair turns gray and that every day, it will always be beautiful. I love you."

"I love you too...."
