Is it hard to get rich quickly? My supermarket covers history and the present!

The child emperor cried uncontrollably, and Xiao Wu's heart softened terribly.

She gently stroked the child's back: "My dear, you still have Aunt Xiaowu, and the Regent..."

"Your mother simply doesn't know how to be a mother. She's only thinking about herself and doesn't care about you..."

Min'er hugged Xiao Wu's neck tightly and cried even harder.

Aunt Xiaowu and the Regent are so patient, yet her own mother doesn't care about her at all?

He was so wronged.

The child was taken to the palace, where Min'er was already asleep.

Eunuch Zhong looked at the young emperor with a worried expression: "Commander Fu, His Majesty has been calling your name and the Regent's name frequently in his dreams these past few days."

Xiao Wu's heart softened again.

Once back in the Imperial Study, Xiao Wu told Cui Chang'an what had happened.

Cui Chang'an sneered repeatedly: "Even such a young child understands this principle, but she doesn't."

Despite their complaints, the couple became even more attentive to Min'er.

Xiao Wu couldn't bear to see Min'er in danger, so she got some cameras and had the Golden Scale Guards install them and solar panels throughout the palace.

Faced with something they had never seen before, the palace servants were unaware of its purpose and therefore did not shy away from it.

In just six months, they had a pretty good grasp of the situation in the palace.

The Golden Scale Guards launched a swift and decisive attack, eliminating another batch of spies from various factions within the palace.

Many concubines had already left the harem, drastically reducing the number of women in the harem. Now, another batch has been laid off.

The chief eunuch asked tremblingly, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, Commander, the palace is severely understaffed. Would it be necessary to recruit more palace servants?"

Xiao Wu and Cui Chang'an exchanged a glance. Cui Chang'an said, "No need. Just seal off those empty palaces and courtyards."

Organizing people into a more centralized manner can save the imperial court a lot of money.

The north suffered a severe drought, and the imperial court's disaster relief efforts emptied the national treasury.

Seeing that Cui Chang'an was so worried that he couldn't eat, Xiao Wu came up with a simple method for making ice to earn money from wealthy families in the capital and supplement the national treasury.

With the people's harvest for this season uncertain, Xiao Wu provided Cui Chang'an with drought-resistant seeds such as potatoes and corn, instructing him to cultivate them and promote their planting in order to prevent the next severe drought.

We overcame each and every difficulty.

With Xiao Wu's help, Cui Chang'an became increasingly reliant on her, and would often look at her longingly.

Xiao Wu realized the problem and sighed, "Chang'an, I can't stay here forever."

"I can help solve some of the problems you and this court are facing, but the main ones are still with you and Min'er."

“If you get used to asking me for help with everything, it won’t do you or Min’er any good.”

Cui Chang'an was taken aback, and then realized: He seemed to have become habitually dependent on Xiao Wu lately?
If there's something I can't solve, the first thing I want to ask Xiaowu is if she has a solution.

This is indeed not good.

But then he panicked: "What do you mean by that?"

"You...are you leaving?"

"I don't need your help anymore, please don't leave."

Xiao Wu watched as Cui Chang'an panicked, dropped his brush, and rushed over to hug her, realizing that he had misunderstood.

She explained softly, "I have many things to do and can't stay here forever."

"But I will not leave here, nor will I leave you."

“My husband is here, and so is my home.”

Cui Chang'an seemed to have suddenly returned to the time when he was displaced: "But you can leave at any time, how do I know you won't leave?"

Xiao Wu placed Cui Chang'an's hand on her stomach: "Your child is here. How can I let the child be without a father?"

Cui Chang'an was stunned for a moment, then his face gradually lit up with joy.

His large hand landed on Xiao Wu's stomach in disbelief: "There... is a baby here?"

"Ours?" Xiao Wu nodded.

Overjoyed, Cui Chang'an suddenly picked up Xiao Wu and lifted her high in the air: "Hahahaha... I have a child..."

Xiao Wu was startled and kicked him, which brought him back to his senses.

Cui Chang'an started chuckling foolishly: "I have a child, hehe!"

After confirming she was pregnant, Xiaowu became even more careful about her diet and chose to have her prenatal checkups done at Canglan Time and Space.

The child was a girl, and she didn't hide it from Cui Chang'an.

Cui Chang'an was delighted: "A girl is good!"

“Min’er is still young. If she gives birth to a boy, the court officials will inevitably become suspicious and worry that I will usurp the throne.”

"If I have a daughter, they won't say anything more."

Min'er will not feel anxious or worried about being abandoned.

Xiao Wu knew he had a point, so she teased him on purpose, "What if it were a boy?"

Cui Chang'an replied without hesitation: "Boys are fine too."

“Now that I am the only one left in the Cui family, I naturally hope that you will have more children, whether they are boys or girls.”

"Of course, if you don't want to, I'll listen to you."

"As long as you don't leave me, that's enough."

The regent spoke softly, appearing pitiful and ingratiating, which made Xiao Wu smile without saying a word.

The regent, who commands respect in public, is always weak in front of Xiao Wu.

Because Xiao Wu could choose to stay or leave at any time, while he had no choice.

He had the entire court and the world to worry about behind him, but only Xiao Wu by his side.

Many nights when Xiao Wu left, he was forced to face the cold and desolate bedroom alone.

He dared not let Xiaowu know, for he was terrified that she would never return.

To keep Xiao Wu here, he did everything he could to do better.

Fear can make people strong.

By the time Xiao Wu gave birth to her first child, the Regent had already straightened out the government and led the entire country onto a path of prosperity.

When Min'er saw her little sister, her eyes sparkled: "Auntie Xiaowu, can my little sister marry me someday?"

Xiao Wu asked in surprise, "You're all still young, why are you asking this now?"

Min'er smiled somewhat shyly, yet very frankly.

"Because if I marry your sister, I will be your child, right?"

Xiao Wu and Cui Chang'an: "..."

In the end, the two of them did not refuse Min'er, but said, "We can talk about these things when you grow up."

Min'er knew that now was not the time, but shouldn't things be made clear first?
Anyway, he had already made up his mind!
He worked even harder, studying politics with his future father-in-law while also taking care of the newborn empress.

Watching Min'er skillfully change her little girl's diaper, Xiao Wu felt a strange unease.

Starting a child-rearing system directly from infancy is too early, isn't it?

The key point is that Min'er is very serious.

He devoted all his free time to his children.

"Qianqian, what is this? It's a nose..." A black and white card was placed on the child's head and moved slowly.

The young princess's eyes followed the movement...

Regent Cui Chang'an saw this and was filled with pity.

Kid, if you really fall in love with Qianqian, you'll experience the pain of your sweetheart disappearing all the time!

That kind of...pain where you chase after someone but don't even know where to begin. (End of Chapter)
