Chapter 1085: Chapter 1082_1

"Prenatal education is really not easy!" The empress sighed with a relief.

Xiao’er and Shangguan Xuanyi were playing chess. Either she loses to him or they keep drawing. She hadn’t won for a long time, so she joyfully asked the Empress, "Mother, shall we play another round?"

On hearing this, the Empress hastily shook her head, "No, no, it’s almost noon. I need to make sure your father eats, otherwise, he would forget in the midst of his work! Xuanyi should also go home, I will let him accompany you more!"

Just kidding, if they play another game, the Empress was worried that she would hold it in so much that she would vomit blood! Each one should educate their own child! This prenatal education job is not suitable for humans!

Xiao’er couldn’t help but laugh, the Empress seemed to have scared herself again!

The Empress was indeed scared, she was worried that Xiao’er would continue playing chess with her, so she left quickly.

After returning to the palace, she told the emperor about the matter of prenatal education, especially the part where the baby would play games with her, and also emphasized how painful it was for her to play chess to educate her grandson well.

The emperor envy the Empress playing games with their unborn grandson. Unfortunately, Xiao’er is his daughter-in-law, they have to maintain a modest distance, he absolutely cannot indulge in such games.

The Emperor glanced at the Empress, after thirty years of marriage, she was no longer as energetic as she used to be, but she was still beautiful and charming. The Emperor pulled the Empress into his arms, whispering in her ear, "Empress, shall we have another child, and then let me play with the child!"

"No, I’m too old, I can’t have children anymore!" The Empress decisively refused having heard this.

"Who said so, my Empress is still young!" With that, the Emperor gently kissed the Empress’s earring.

The Empress pushed him away, "No, I don’t want my child to be younger than my grandson!"

"What’s there to be afraid of, the generation is small, but the rank is high, it’s a good deal!" The Emperor thought about the image of his grandchildren, who could walk and jump, seriously calling his son in swaddling clothes ’Royal Uncle’, and found the image quite amusing.

His elder sons calling a child younger than their son ’Royal Brother’, the expression on their faces must be quite amusing! Just thinking about this, the Emperor felt happy!

For this amusing scene, the Emperor felt that he should try!

Then, the room was filled with romance and love...

——Confucius said, do not watch if it’s improper!

...

After the Empress returned to the palace, Shangguan Xuanyi returned, he continued to be a dedicated cook in the small kitchen.

Although Xiao’er will not vomit regardless of what she eats now, Shangguan Xuanyi still insisted on preparing three meals a day for Xiao’er, sometimes even supper.

When Xiao’er said there’s no need for so much trouble, Shangguan Xuanyi insisted. He said that since the mother of his child carrying the child was already hard enough, he, being the father, could not do nothing, so he decided to personally take care of their three meals a day!

Shangguan Xuanyi always keeps his promises without any discount, so no matter how busy he was, he always kept his commitment.

This is probably the benefit of having a father who is the emperor. When the ministers were all gathered in the Imperial study, discussing state affairs fervently, some people dared not even go to the toilet. Only he could put down anything he was doing when the time came, disregarding everything, to go back home and cook, without the fear of being dismissed from his position!

The emperor was blown away by his attitude several times, but there was nothing he could do to him, so the emperor stopped caring about it! He turned a blind eye to it and let it slide!

After accompanying Xiao’er for dinner, Shangguan Xuanyi left again. Attacking a country was not a simple matter, it required the gathering of a lot of information and intelligence. Every aspect had to be considered and he had to go back to this busy task.

Xiao’er knew he was busy preparing for the campaign against Nangong Country. Since she had nothing to do, she found some books and maps about Nangong Country and started to study.

When Xiao’er started working, she was very serious and focused. She sat like this for an entire afternoon, even skipping her afternoon nap.

Bai Tian had once travelled there. They had been to every part of Nangong Country.

When it saw the map that Xiao’er had taken out, it pointed out several deviations.

Xiao’er was surprised to hear this. "Bai Tian, I didn’t expect you to understand maps!"

Bai Tian sounded quite proud after hearing this, "Of course, there’s nothing I don’t understand! Don’t you admire me so much!"

Xiao’er nodded, "Yes, you’re my idol!"

Object of ridicule! Xiao’er silently added it in her heart.

"Master, I’m sure you’re silently complaining in your heart: You are mocking him!"

Xiao’er: "...."

When did the golden python learn to read minds, she didn’t know!

After hearing this, Bai Tian was angry, "You are jealous that I can read maps!"

The golden python looked at it with disdain, "What’s so great about reading a map! Do you think I can’t read it! Master, let me tell you! This part looks like a grassland, but there is actually a swamp in one spot, and this part here..."

Because the golden python was a snake and snakes live in caves, it was very sensitive to terrain. It also pointed out several places to Xiao’er that looked normal, but were actually dangerous.

"Xiao Huang, you’re really amazing!"

Daring to snatch its credit, Bai Tian was unhappy. Did knowing about a few landscapes matter? It knew about them too!

"Master, let me tell you, this mountain here..."

The golden python didn’t want to lose either, "Master, there’s this place..."

Both of them kept trying to outdo each other describing the features of the entire region of Nangong Country.

Xiao’er almost knew about everything, even about how many trees there were on a mountain, and how many mice were in a particular place!

In short, everything she needed to know, she knew, even things she did not need to know, she knew!

However, one must admit, some of the places they pointed out were indeed very important! If she did not know about them, it could easily lead to a disaster!

"You two are like divine aids!" Xiao’er couldn’t help but praise them, then she corrected the map of Nangong Country, marking the important places to be aware of.

Unfortunately, Bai Tian and the golden python were no longer interested in Xiao’er’s praise. They could not help but start fighting!

Xiao’er didn’t care about them, she started modifying the map.

After finally modifying the entire map, Xiao’er looked at the map, almost every place had been modified, and because there were many modifications, some important places she had no space to mark, so Xiao’er decided to draw a new map.

Xiao’er produced a large piece of sheepskin from her space and began to redraw the entire map of Nangong Country.

"Your Highness, you’ve been busy all afternoon. Take a break! The bird’s nest soup is ready, eat it first!" Yang Liu came in with a bowl of crystal sugar stewed bird’s nest soup.

"Put it aside, let me finish this part, and then I’ll eat it." Xiao’er replied without raising her head.

At this time, Shangguan Xuanyi came in. He had just heard the conversation between the two and asked, "What have you been busy with all afternoon? Didn’t we agree earlier that you are not to tire yourself out?"
