After the milk ball arrived, the father who had no heirs had a string of good luck.

"So..."

Tang Rui continued her efforts, summarizing succinctly: "There are so many good men in the world, if this one doesn't work out, we'll find another. The most important thing is that I don't suffer any injustice, right?"

Situ Che: "..."

Another day of being defeated by my daughter's twisted logic!

It clearly contradicts the education he received from childhood that women should regard their husbands as their heaven, yet he still thinks it makes a lot of sense.

His daughter is so cute and smart, she looks just like him.

Since Tang Rui came to the Prince's Mansion, she has been like a warm and comforting little cotton-padded jacket, warming everyone around her.

He resolved his misunderstanding with the princess, Consort Gu severed ties with the crown prince, and even the fate of the child Situ Tan, including his ability to stand up again, were all thanks to Tang Rui.

His daughter, a noble princess, a golden branch and jade leaf, he couldn't bear to beat or scold her, so why should she be bullied by some unrelated boy in the future?

Situ Che's lips curled up, finally acknowledging her words: "You're right, you are my daughter, no matter who it is, I won't let you suffer the slightest grievance. If that brat from the Gu family bullies you in the future, your father will definitely stand up for you."

Got it!

This time, it was Tang Rui's turn to be speechless!

She's still young. Even if she suddenly has a fiancé, it doesn't mean anything.

...

Several women rushed over to Situ Che for help, and this was the first thing they saw when they entered the courtyard.

The handsome man held the little dumpling, stood tall, and his eyes revealed a fatherly affection.

Broad shoulders and narrow hips, with a posture as upright as a pine tree.

The falling osmanthus blossoms gently brushed against his perfect profile, making him breathtakingly handsome at first glance.

The little bundle of flesh in his arms bore a striking resemblance to him, like a miniature version of him, pure white and adorable.

All five women, including Qin Zhiyan, stopped in their tracks in unison, stunned for a moment.

Gu Ruoxue even involuntarily covered her chest to suppress her wildly beating heart.

At this moment, all the adjectives like "elegant and graceful," "imposing and dignified," and "ethereal and otherworldly" came to life before my eyes.

The father and daughter seemed to notice their gazes and looked over at the same time.

Tang Rui's eyes crinkled into a smile in an instant, and she raised her chubby little hand to greet them: "Mother, stepmothers, have you all come to see Father?"

Situ Che was stunned for a moment, then smiled at them: "Why are you all here?"

"Yes..." Qin Zhiyan already knew he could stand up, and apart from blushing and her heart pounding, she had no other emotions.

The other women were different.

"Your Highness, you...you can stand up now?" Gu Ruoxue's eyes stung, and she felt like crying.

Situ Che nodded with a smile: "Heaven has mercy on me."

"That's wonderful, that's wonderful!" Consort Li grabbed Consort Zhang's hand, repeating the three words excitedly.

Consort Zhang was also quite happy.

She was different from the other women in the Prince's mansion because her father was a vanguard general, and she grew up in a frontier military camp.

It also witnessed Situ Che's transformation from a young man riding a horse and leaning against a bridge, surrounded by beautiful women, into the renowned War God of the Great Xia Dynasty.

On several occasions, she even changed into a soldier's uniform and secretly followed Situ Che on his expeditions.

By all accounts, she could be considered half of Situ Che's subordinates!

But... ever since Situ Che became disabled, the once spirited young hero has become lifeless, like a bird with its wings clipped.

Even the Li Prince's Mansion was tinged with an aura of loneliness and despair.

But now, the War God Prince from my memory, that vibrant young man, seems to have returned.

His smile was as handsome, confident, and powerful as ever.

Seeing Situ Che now is like seeing them when they were besieged by the enemy back then.

The man rode a white horse, holding a long spear, his hair ribbon fluttering in the wind: "Always remind yourselves that we are invincible, and no difficulty can defeat us! I, Situ Che, swear to the heavens, I will lead you out of this encirclement and back to your homeland!"

And he really did it!

The usually aloof Consort Zhang belatedly realized that her face was covered in tears. Afraid that others would see, she quickly turned away to wipe away her tears.

At that moment, she suddenly realized that it wasn't that she disliked Situ Che.

But the one she always loved was Situ Che, the decisive, confident, and powerful war god on the battlefield.

Instead of becoming self-destructive, indifferent, and world-weary, like Situ Che.

Otherwise, given her personality, even if it were her father's dying wish, she would not have willingly entered the Prince's mansion's inner courtyard and become one of countless women.

While the women were all preoccupied with their own thoughts and feelings, they were also deeply moved.

Tang Rui's eyes darted around, and suddenly a thought struck her: "Father, now that you're better, then... can you consummate your marriage with Mother and the other concubines?"

Situ Che's smile froze instantly, and the corner of his eye twitched!

The women's emotions seemed to be paused instantly, their pretty faces flushed, and their eyes looked over with anticipation.

"This...this..." Facing five pairs of expectant eyes, Situ Che stammered, which was rare for him.

So, how does one consummate a marriage?

Other princes, even at the age of fourteen or fifteen, were personally instructed by palace maids arranged by the emperor.

He was very rebellious at that time and did not accept the teachings arranged by his father, the emperor, for the palace maids.

The only time was when Tang Ruiniang drugged and forced him, and he just lay there and enjoyed it the whole time... Ugh, what enjoyment? He didn't enjoy it at all!

"Tang Rui, this is an adult matter, children shouldn't meddle!" Situ Che deliberately scolded her with a stern face, trying to project the image of a strict father.

However, Tang Rui wasn't buying it at all. She pouted and said disapprovingly, "Father, it was fine before, Mother and the concubines could understand you. But now that you're married, shouldn't you fulfill your responsibilities as a husband? Mother and the concubines are in the prime of their youth. Are you going to make them live like widows?"

"Say one more word, and I'll immediately hire twenty governesses to teach you proper manners." What kind of daughter worries about her father's bedroom affairs? This is getting more and more outrageous.

Tang Rui: "..."

Got it!

You're my dad, you're awesome!

Tang Rui pulled her lips together, maintained her smile, and decided not to argue with him.

Seeing that she was being honest, Situ Che coughed lightly and then looked at the women with a normal expression: "My leg is not completely healed yet, so I don't want to make a fuss about it for now."

"We understand, Your Highness, please rest assured!"

None of the women were fools; they all had some political acumen.

Situ Che was already favored, and if the news of his leg recovery got out, not to mention what the other princes would think, the Crown Prince would be the first to not let him off the hook!

At this time, remaining patient and biding one's time is the best course of action.

Situ Che felt somewhat relieved upon hearing this, but in his heart he still thought that he should have someone keep an eye on things afterwards: "You all came to see me, is there something you need?"

Upon hearing this, the women remembered their original intention and began to chatter amongst themselves.

They say three women make a drama, five women... Situ Che's head was buzzing a little, but he finally understood and couldn't help but glare at the culprit in his arms.

Tang Rui never expected that her simple desire to team up with Consort Li to cause some trouble would make other women envious.

Qin Zhiyan held the handkerchief and looked at her as if she were a heartless woman: "Rui Rui, if you want to do business, go to your mother. Your mother owns several shops in good locations."
