It was the Dragon Boat Festival, but the Little Princess Changning was a little unhappy because her father didn’t come back.
Although Cen Yelan had someone bring something back.
It was a string of colorful bracelets. According to the custom of Dayan, during the Dragon Boat Festival, children in the family would wear five-colored bracelets to ward off evil spirits.
Chang Ning waved her chubby hand. There was a wolf tooth on the bracelet. It is said that it was cut off from the throne of the Hu people king when his father trampled on the Hu people’s royal court.
Now it has become a small ornament, hanging on the little princess’s hand.
Her lips were pursed so much that a wine bottle could be hung on them. She sat on the desk in the imperial study and pulled Yuan Zheng’s sleeve. “Emperor Father, when will Father come back?”
Yuan Zheng was reading the letter from Cen Yelan in his hand. He read it over and over dozens of times, leaving only a few words, “Everything was still undecided. I will return in a month.”
A month! Another month!
Yuan Zheng almost crumpled those words.
This was the sixth year of Chengming, when Cen Yelan decided to go to the northern border to quell the threat of the Hu people.
Yuan Zheng didn’t stop him.
This battle lasted for a year.
Yuan Zheng pinched Chang Ning’s cheek and said, “Is Yu’er missing Father?”
The little princess pursed her lips, feeling very aggrieved, “En! Yu’er hasn’t seen Father for a long, long time already.”
Yuan Zheng’s heart softened, and he held the little one on his lap, saying, “Emperor Father misses your father too.”
The little princess blinked, looked at Yuan Zheng, stretched out her hands, and held Yuan Zheng, saying in a baby voice, “Emperor Father, don’t be afraid, Yu’er will accompany Emperor Father.”
She still remembered that before Cen Yelan went to the war, he told her to stay with Yuan Zheng, saying that her emperor father would be very lonely if he was not around.
The little princess seemed to understand, but not quite understand as well. Cen Yelan smiled at her lovingly, kissed her cheek again, and softly said, “Father will tell you a secret.”
“When Father leaves, your Emperor Father will be scared alone.”
The little princess screamed, and her eyes widened like Cen Yelan’s. “Uncle Shenzhao said that Emperor Father is the emperor. Would the emperor also be afraid?”
Cen Yelan smiled and nodded, “Yes, didn’t you see your Emperor Father would sneak over at night?”
The little princess suddenly realized something. She showed an embarrassment on her face, and then she seriously said, “Alright, then I will accompany Emperor Father and will not let him be scared.”
Cen Yelan’s eyes were full of soft smiles, and he said, “Yu’er is so obedient.”
Suddenly, the little princess asked, “Then isn’t Father afraid?”
Cen Yelan was startled and said, “Father is not afraid. With Yu’er and your Emperor Father, Father is not afraid of anything.”
Yuan Zheng was coaxed by the little princess like she was a little adult. He hugged her with a smile and kissed her on the face, “Good girl.”
He said, “Father will be back soon.”
The little princess’s eyes lit up, “Really?”
Yuan Zheng said, “Really, when Father comes back, he can accompany Yu’er every day.”
The little princess was so happy that it seemed as if Cen Yelan was coming back soon.
Yuan Zheng lowered his voice and said, “Yu’er, when Father comes back, tell him you miss him, say it ten times a day, and ask him to hold you, then Father won’t be willing to leave anymore.”
The little princess nodded vigorously. The father and daughter leaned their heads together and followed suit. She whispered to Yuan Zheng, “Emperor Father says it too so that Father will not leave.”
Yuan Zheng was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and thought, What a joke! When he comes back this time, Cen Yelan will never be able to leave him again, no matter what he says!
He pinched the little princess’s tender fingers and flicked the wolf teeth, still a little unhappy. Why did his daughter have it but he didn’t? He only thought about their daughter and forgot about him—
Yuan Zheng savored the taste and took note of Cen Yelan in his heart.

Noooo it’s over so quickly. I need more chapters 😭. Thank you for translating and sharing this novel with us. 😍
The things we look forward to the most in mpreg series are the pregnant situation and their daily lives when the baby is new😭😭 it made me sad that these beautiful scenes were so short. I am very curious about how Cen Yelan got used to breastfeeding the baby, the baby’s first words, their parenting, and most importantly, how they experienced their love while they were parents.
