Ye Suhuan looked at Susu; this was the first time he saw Susu, who resembled little Jiu from his childhood quite a bit, even the way she ate was strikingly similar.

Feng Wuyou thought of her own son, "And Taotao, Taotao must be studying in the study room, just like His Highness, he especially loves to study."

Upon returning to the palace, Feng Wuyou changed her manner of address, after all, Xiao Jinyan was the Crown Prince.

Jun Moqing said, "Let’s have a look then."

As they entered the Hehuan Hall, they saw Dabai at the entrance, lifting his huge head to look at the group of people in front of it.

Feng Wuyou rubbed Dabai’s head, surprised, "Dabai has grown so big."

Susu had witnessed Dabai grow from a small milk tiger to a big old tiger, and excitedly waved her little hands, "Huhu, it’s grown so tall."

Jun Moqing looked at the white tiger, with fur as white as snow, even whiter than a liger by several shades. Its snow-white fur seemed to be coated with a layer of silver frost, an extremely rare silver tiger.

"Is this Susu’s pet?"

Feng Wuyou nodded, "Yes, it’s been playing with Susu since it was one month old, and has followed her around ever since, always behind Susu’s backside."

Jun Moqing commented, "A silver tiger understands human nature, it’s good for Susu to keep it around for protection."

Feng Wuyou replied, "I thought so too, which is why I let them grow up together to foster their bond."

She always felt that Dabai was different from ordinary white tigers, which was why she insisted on taking care of it when she found out it had become an orphan.

Unable to restrain her curiosity, Feng Wuyou asked, "Father, could it be that it is also a Spiritual Beast?"

Jun Moqing nodded, "Yes, just like the liger."

Feng Wuyou was speechless... Weren’t they supposed to be encountered only once in a hundred years? Her family had three?

This made her question the rarity of the once-in-a-century Spiritual Beasts.

The group entered the Hehuan Hall and then went to the study room.

Taotao was practicing calligraphy at the moment, and after studying for more than half a year, he had improved tremendously.

Xiao Jinyan was the first to walk in.

Song Qing, seeing the long-departed Crown Prince and Crown Princess, came forward and respectfully greeted, "May the Crown Prince live for ten thousand years in peace, may the Crown Princess live for ten thousand years in peace."

Xiao Jinyan said, "Rise."

Only then did Song Qing straighten up and step aside.

Chu Lingfeng also put down his brush and came forward to greet, "Your humble servant pays respect to the Crown Prince, pays respect to the Crown Princess."

Xiao Jinyan looked at the young boy before him, finding him quite unfamiliar, "Who are you?"

Chu Lingfeng answered, "Your humble servant is the son of the Chunan King, Chu Lingfeng."

Feng Wuyou explained, "The heir of Chu Nan was originally Yinyin’s companion reader but because Yinyin was willful and Susu liked the heir of Chu Nan, His Majesty decided to have the heir of Chu Nan be Taotao’s companion reader."

Xiao Jinyan nodded, "I see."

As soon as Taotao finished writing the character, he couldn’t wait to put down his brush and ran over. He threw himself into Feng Wuyou’s arms, "Mother Concubine, you’re finally back."

Feng Wuyou was quite moved; her treasures hadn’t forgotten her.

She looked at Taotao and saw that he was thinner and had grown much taller than when she left.

Compared to Susu’s chunky little face, Taotao’s cheeks clearly had less flesh.

"Taotao, how come you seem to have lost weight?"

Taotao touched Feng Wuyou’s face, "Mother Concubine, you’ve gotten thinner too."

Feng Wuyou felt even more moved, "Taotao, you’ve grown up and become considerate."

While still overwhelmed by emotion, suddenly she heard Taotao in her arms say in a milky voice, "Mommy, kiss baby."

Feng Wuyou was speechless... no matter how sensible Taotao became, he was still a child.

She pecked his cheeks twice.

"Taotao, your father has also returned."

Xiao Jinyan looked at his son; it had been too long since he had seen him, and Taotao had indeed become very sensible.

"Taotao."

Taotao looked up at Xiao Jinyan. Like Susu, they were about the same age, and his memory was similar too. His recollection of his father was vague, but he knew of his existence.

Every day, Chun Xi would talk about him, impossible to forget.

"Father."

Xiao Jinyan squatted down in front of Taotao, examining his son. Although he looked exactly like Susu, when viewed separately, he also resembled himself as a child.

"Taotao is very smart."

Taotao asked, "Where has father gone for so long? Me and sister missed you."

Xiao Jinyan explained, "Your father and your mother had important matters to attend to, but now we’ve returned and won’t leave for such a long time again."

Susu, after taking a bite of her Meat Pie, said, "Gugu, we have a grandfather now."

Taotao looked up at his sister, only to see her being held by a stranger, "Who is grandfather?"

Susu pointed at Jun Moqing, who was holding her, "He is grandfather."

Feng Wuyou prompted, "Taotao, say ’grandfather’."
