The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1274

Chapter 1274: Chapter 1083, You Can’t, I Can

The emperor’s drowsiness problem has become increasingly severe, to the point of delaying morning court sessions, which has made some ministers uneasy.

At this time, the faction supporting the Sixth Prince started actively promoting him. Since the Sixth Prince stayed in Qianqing Palace daily, even if some courtiers considered it inappropriate, few dared to voice objections at this moment.

Duke Residence.

Guo Ruomei anxiously awaited her eldest son to arrive with his wife and grandchildren: "It’s been over three years since we’ve seen them. I wonder if Daozi still remembers me? And the twins, they were just a month old when we left. I can’t imagine how they’ve grown."

Chu Lang, cradling his young son to one side, chuckled, "If Daozi doesn’t remember us, I’ll have to smack his bottom. As for the twins, even the emperor dotes on them dearly; they must have grown well."

Guo Ruomei ignored him and continued craning her neck to look in the direction of the main gate.

After the emperor’s birthday celebration, she and Chu Lang returned to the Duke Residence with their youngest son, thinking they could immediately reunite with their beloved grandchildren. Unexpectedly, they were kept in the palace by the emperor.

"The Crown Prince and the others have had successive incidents, and now the emperor’s health appears to be failing. I just hope Xiao Yeyang’s family won’t be implicated."

The atmosphere in Beijing had seemed off recently, leaving Guo Ruomei deeply uneasy.

Chu Lang, however, remained calm: "Don’t worry, everything Xiao Yeyang has now is earned from his own efforts. Even if... something were to happen, he’d still have to hold down Xiliang."

Guo Ruomei fell silent, then after a while said, "It’s better to return to Xiliang sooner."

From ancient times, struggles for succession often end in bloodshed and tragedy. She didn’t want her eldest son’s family to be entangled in such affairs.

At that moment, a maid reported that Xiao Yeyang had arrived with Daohua and the three little ones.

Upon hearing this, Guo Ruomei’s face lit up with joy, and she hurriedly ran out to greet them.

"Grandmother!"

By the time she reached Chuihua Gate, Guo Ruomei saw a small figure darting towards her like an arrow, soon jumping into her arms.

"Grandmother!"

Daozi threw himself into Guo Ruomei’s arms and gave her a big bear hug. Looking at her with a face full of affection, he said, "Grandmother, I missed you so much. Did you miss me?"

Looking at Daozi, who had grown to reach her chest, Guo Ruomei’s eyes instantly reddened. She pulled him close, inspecting him over and over, choking with emotion: "Good boy, let grandmother take a good look at you." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Seeing his grandmother’s teary eyes, Daozi straightened up and let her examine him.

At this moment, Xiao Yeyang arrived with Daohua and the twins.

Xiao Yeyang and Daohua greeted her first, followed by the twins.

"Grandmother!"

Hearing the soft, sweet voices of children, Guo Ruomei immediately turned her gaze to the twins, exclaiming with delight, "These must be Daomang and Daomiao, right?"

Guo Ruomei pulled Daozi with one hand and affectionately touched the twins’ heads with the other: "Oh my, how adorably beautiful they’ve grown! Truly deserving of being my grandchildren!"

Listening to Guo Ruomei’s proud tone, Chu Lang, who had hung back carrying his son, couldn’t help but laugh helplessly.

When Xiao Yeyang saw Chu Lang, he stepped forward to greet him first.

Chu Lang raised an eyebrow, and then, without hesitation, placed his less-than-two-year-old son into Xiao Yeyang’s arms: "This is your little brother. You two should get acquainted."

Xiao Yeyang was skilled at handling children, but with this younger brother who was even smaller than his own children, he felt somewhat uneasy. Awkwardly holding his little brother, he ended up staring into the child’s eyes in mutual bewilderment.

"So, this is our little uncle?"

"Little uncle is so tiny, even smaller than us!"

"Does that mean we’ll have to protect little uncle in the future?"

"But isn’t it supposed to be elders protecting the younger ones?"

Daozi and the twins gathered around, staring wide-eyed at the little child in their father’s arms, their faces filled with curiosity.

Seeing the children coming to the rescue, Xiao Yeyang quickly set down the young brother and let him interact with the three little ones. He himself turned to chat with Chu Lang.

Meanwhile, Guo Ruomei pulled Daohua aside: "I was able to deliver successfully and recover my health afterward, all thanks to the medicinal ingredients you sent."

Xiao Yeyang paused briefly, then looked at Chu Lang and said, "If he treats you poorly, write me a letter."

Hearing this, Guo Ruomei immediately laughed, her eyes shimmering with tears.

She never thought that in her lifetime, she would experience her eldest son’s concern and have his backing.

Guo Ruomei nodded firmly: "Okay."

Beside them, Chu Lang overheard the mother and son’s exchange and felt utterly speechless. How could he behave poorly? It had always been Ruomei who bullied him, certainly not the other way around. Besides, now there was a little rascal who sided with his mother—he was definitely the lowest-ranked person in the household!

Despite his inner grumblings, Chu Lang took out a small round container and handed it to Daohua.

Daohua accepted it with curiosity, then opened it and looked inside, her eyes widening in surprise: "Jingmiao Grass seeds?"

Chu Lang grinned and nodded: "Surprised you recognized them."

Daohua laughed: "Of course I do. Isn’t this plant hard to find? Last time, the seeds you gave me grew, but didn’t produce any new seeds."

Chu Lang smiled and explained: "Jingmiao Grass has male and female plants. If there were no seeds, it must have been male. I found these seeds by chance and remembered you had successfully cultivated them before, so I saved them for you."

Daohua thanked him with a smile: "Thank you so much."

Chu Lang waved it off: "We’re even. If you hadn’t sent so many medicinal herbs before, your mother’s health wouldn’t have improved this much. Consider this my thanks to you." He then added, curious, "Do you think you can grow Jingmiao Grass again?"

Daohua shook her head: "Not sure. It depends on luck."

Chu Lang nodded in understanding. He had merely asked on a whim. The fact that this girl had managed to cultivate Jingmiao Grass last time had genuinely surprised him, but he suspected she’d just been exceptionally lucky.

In fact, Chu Lang had acquired two Jingmiao Grass seeds from an old adversary, one of which he had planted in a pot, following the exact methods Daohua had used.

Unfortunately, it had never germinated.

If Daohua learned he had wasted one seed, she would surely call him wasteful. "You couldn’t grow it, but I could. You should have just given it to me—it’s no big deal. If it succeeds, I’ll share a medicinal pill with you later."
