My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 614 - 380 Father and Son Relationship_2

After all, that kind of explanation is untenable. No matter how much you doubt, it can’t explain the pregnancy timeline issue, and his grievances will naturally be cleared.

Dongfang Xuan left the King Mansion and came to the National Master Mansion.

Looking at the withered, thin old man sunbathing on the chair, a hint of doubt appeared on his face, and he asked, "Last time I clearly shared some years of life with you, how come you look so lifeless again? Have you been misusing the yin and yang technique again?"

The State Preceptor of Zhao Country slowly opened his eyes, not directly answering his question but instead asking, "Do you still remember the Gongsun Family?"

Dongfang Xuan nodded and said, "Of course, a hundred years ago, the Gongsun Family was dominant for a time, but in recent years, I haven’t heard much about them and don’t even know if their legacy still exists..."

Each of the major families of the Yin Yang School had their own peak moments.

The Dongfang Family reached its peak three hundred years ago, but ever since the family ancestor went mad and perished after breaking through the Saint Realm, the family’s strength has waned with each generation. In this generation, only Qing’er is left as the heir.

The State Preceptor of Zhao Country said, "In recent years, the Gongsun Family still has one heir in Zhao Country. On the surface, she only has Fifth Realm cultivation, but I suspect..."

Dongfang Xuan asked, "Suspect what?"

The State Preceptor of Zhao Country sighed and said, "I suspect she has already reached the Saint Realm..."

Dongfang Xuan was shocked and said, "What? There is another Seventh Realm Saint of the Yin Yang School on the continent? Where is she?"

The State Preceptor of Zhao Country said, "She has already fallen, but some of the things she did before her demise, I don’t understand..."

...

Zhao Country.

The streets of the capital were abuzz with discussions among the people.

"I heard that King Zhao returned yesterday."

"That giant bird is King Zhao’s steed, truly fitting for King Zhao, so unique."

"Do you think the little prince adopted by the Emperor is the child of her and King Zhao?"

"Isn’t it said that the child was born to King Sheng’s concubine?"

"You can’t fully trust the court’s words. If it were King Sheng’s child, would the Empress treat him so well, even adopting him as a foster son? If you ask me, it’s very likely that he is the child of the Empress and King Zhao..."

Li Nuo was originally accompanying them shopping today and heard many absurd rumors along the way.

They said Zhao Che was born to him and the Empress, something even he didn’t know.

According to the timeline, unless he had relations with the Empress while still in Chang’an.

But at that time, she was still a maiden, and they witnessed it with their own eyes, so there’s no need for Li Nuo to prove himself. Neither Jiaren nor Anning would believe it, and Yiren could even testify that they were always proper during their time in Zhao Country.

Even though they can no longer see through her, now that she’s the Empress, they wouldn’t believe such ridiculous gossip.

"Greetings, King Zhao."

"Long live, long live, long live King Zhao!"

Unlike in Chang’an, walking the streets of Zhao Country’s capital, the people all wore enthusiastic and sincere smiles.

Jiaren and Anning were evidently in a much better mood than when they were in Chang’an.

Letting them change environments was indeed the right decision.

The situation in Zhao Country was much more stable than in Daxia. With the Empress taking care of them, Li Nuo could focus on his matters without worry.

Upon returning to the King Mansion, Li Nuo discovered that the Empress was also there.

Li Yan was wobbling on the grass while Zhao Che crawled around behind him. Although Zhao Che was born less than ten days after Li Yan, they looked nothing like children of similar age.

Li Yan and Li Nian could already say "mother" and "aunt" and walk unsteadily, while Zhao Che could only crawl and sit, barely able to call people.

Nevertheless, Zhao Che’s development speed was more in line with normal expectations.

Li Yan, Li Nian, and Li Zhi were all baptized daily with True Qi from the Fifth Realm Medical School by Li Nuo, making their physique much better than ordinary children.

Zhao Zhiyi evidently also noticed this and asked Li Nuo curiously about the two children, "They are about the same age, so why is there such a big difference between Zhao Che and Li Yan?"

Li Nuo explained the reason to her, and after thinking it over, Zhao Zhiyi said, "Can’t you also help Zhao Che a bit? Li Yan can walk now, but he can only crawl and can’t play with them..."

Since she asked, Li Nuo naturally couldn’t refuse.

Li Nuo walked over, picked up Zhao Che, who was crawling on the ground, and the little fellow didn’t resist, blinking his big eyes at him.

Looking at the little face in front of him, Li Nuo felt a strange, indescribable feeling in his heart.

At first sight, he didn’t feel anything peculiar.

Once he accepted that this child might resemble him, the more he looked, the more he felt there was a resemblance...

No wonder Anning and Jiaren were suspicious...

Zhao Zhiyi watched Li Nuo play seriously with Zhao Che, a faint smile appearing on her lips.

Then she took out a red note from her sleeve and said, "These are the wedding dates selected for you by the Ministry of Rites and the Astronomical Observatory. Choose one from among them."

The auspicious dates chosen by the Ministry of Rites numbered about a dozen.

The closest date would allow the ceremony to be held in ten days.

Farther ones include a month later, two months later, with the latest being at the end of the year.

Li Nuo naturally wanted it to be as soon as possible.

But this time, Yiren had a different opinion.

According to both of their birth information, although ten days later was considered an auspicious day, it was only a minor auspicious day. Some of the other days were more auspicious, with some even being very auspicious.

The most auspicious date, however, was at the end of the year, eight months later.

The wedding date when Li Nuo married Jiaren was only on an auspicious day.

But Yiren was determined on this specific day.

Su Qing advised her, saying, "An auspicious day is also good enough, close enough is fine."

Yiren looked at Su Qing and resolutely said, "I’ve waited this long already, what’s a few more months? You only marry once in a lifetime, I want the best for this time!"

Su Qing’s lips moved, but in the end, she said nothing.

Yiren had indeed suffered too many grievances on this matter. It’s rare to have a chance to make amends, so let her follow her wishes...

Li Nuo naturally had no objections either.

However, before the marriage, he certainly couldn’t stay in Zhao Country all the time.

Zhao Zhiyi took the note from Li Nuo’s hand, surprised by the date circled on it, and asked, "Are you sure you want to wait this long?"

Li Nuo smiled and said, "If the love lasts long, why be concerned about morning and evening? Since Yiren likes it, let her have her way..."

Zhao Zhiyi softly sighed, her tone carrying an indescribable meaning: "You’re really good to Yiren..."

Zhao Country, capital.

Recently, besides gossiping about the Empress’s foster son’s identity, the capital’s citizens were also discussing the wedding of King Zhao and Princess Zhaorong.

The Empress showed them utmost love and care, and the ceremony for their wedding far surpassed that of ordinary princes and princesses, only below the establishment of an Empress.

In some sense, even the ceremony of establishing an Empress couldn’t compare to this wedding.

To celebrate, not only would all government offices take a three-day holiday, but the Empress also waived the tax for a year for farmers with less than a hundred acres of land, marking a true nationwide celebration. Even for a royal wedding, such a tax waiver was rare for the people.

This wedding would surely be remembered by many citizens.

Meanwhile, while the people of Zhao Country had many topics to discuss over tea due to King Zhao’s return.

Daxia, Chang’an.

The Imperial Examination of the thirty-sixth year of Zhisheng had just released its results.

This was the third Imperial Examination in three years and had the most Advanced Scholars admitted in Daxia’s history.

This session admitted a total of five hundred people.

Only the top one hundred would be immediately assigned an official position, but the remaining four hundred were in no hurry.

Their teacher, acting as an Imperial Censor, had only traversed a few provinces and had already vacated many official positions by eradicating corrupt officials, surely leaving room for them to fill...

This year’s Imperial Examination also exhibited an astonishing phenomenon.

Out of the five hundred Advanced Scholars admitted, four hundred and ninety-three attended Li Nuo’s Imperial Examination tutoring class.

Though these individuals had already been screened once, it was still improbable under normal circumstances for such a shocking proportion to occur.

Scholars are very particular about mentorship, which means that nearly five hundred future court officials from this batch would all have to call him teacher, representing an immensely large force...

Imperial Palace.

In the silent, secluded palace, a figure stepped in quietly, bowed low, and respectfully said, "Your Majesty, we’ve found some clues. Those people are likely from the Green Bird Society in Qi Country..."
