The Supporting Actress Made A Comeback-Chapter 1068 - 1070: The More I See, the More Familiar It Feels

The Emperor, with a stern face, holding a small bundle of flesh, asked coldly, "Have they named them?"

Mo Shu smiled faintly and replied, "They have. The one in your arms is the younger brother, named Mo Xiu Nian."

The Emperor nodded, "Not bad, and the other one?"

He was referring to the Little Tangguan in Ji Nan’s arms.

Mo Shu stepped forward to take the Little Tangguan and brought him to the Emperor, saying, "This one is named Yu Xiu Li."

"Yu?" The Emperor was surprised, "Which Yu?" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Mo Shu said, "The Yu from Liehuo Country."

The Emperor took a slight breath, "Do you know who the children’s father is?"

Mo Shu shook her head, "I don’t know, but I believe the name has a connection with the children."

"Utterly absurd!" The Emperor shouted angrily, "How can such matters be left to chance? Yu, do you know what it means to bear this surname?"

Mo Shu remained silent.

The Emperor was very angry: "It means our country’s Princess must bear children for people of their country without name or rank, how could it be a joke! This child shall bear the surname Mo!"

Mo Shu chuckled softly, "I will abide by Father’s wishes."

The Emperor still felt unsettled and said, "Although Liehuo Country is also a strong nation and close to ours, currently it is their reigning ruler who is on good terms with me. However, flowers do not remain red for a hundred days, and as the ruler of Liehuo Country ages, who knows when he might pass away? If a more ambitious Prince ascends, it would be difficult to ensure that Moyan Country remains on good terms with Liehuo Country for generations. If Moyan Country’s royal grandchildren bear the surname Yu, wouldn’t it imply our country is inferior to theirs?"

The Emperor sneered, "Absolutely impossible!"

Mo Shu had considered this issue and simply nodded upon hearing this.

Holding the fragrant little grandson in his arms, the Emperor’s heart softened immensely.

The two children were too adorable, almost identical, and exceptionally reminiscent of Mo Shu’s childhood.

The Emperor couldn’t help but think of his late wife, a regret in his heart that no one could understand.

Thus, he treasured the children even more.

Not half a day passed before much of the Emperor’s unease and discomfort about the children had dissipated.

This was within Mo Shu’s expectations.

In the afternoon, after the children had fallen asleep, Mo Shu took them away.

Upon leaving, the guard naturally followed.

However, as they walked, Mo Shu noticed that the man named Qiao Cang seemed to have disappeared.

Furrowing her brows, Mo Shu asked, "Where did the new guard go?"

The Guard Captain replied, "Qiao Cang left just now, but should return shortly. After all, when nature calls, it was permitted by me."

Mo Shu felt something was amiss, but his reasoning seemed valid, so she nodded and said nothing more.

It wasn’t until half an hour later that she saw him again.

Mo Shu had returned to the Princess Hall and seeing him return, had an inexplicable sense of familiarity each time she looked at him.

Somewhat... like Yu Cang.

Yet, a country’s Crown Prince, though fallen from grace, wouldn’t stoop to become a mere guard.

Suddenly, Zhao Mei ran in from outside, saying, "Princess, General Song Gu just sent you a letter."

Mo Shu casually said, "Bring it here."

Holding the letter, her eyes fell on a scrawling handwriting that read: ’For the Eldest Princess’ eyes only’.

Mo Shu’s eye twitched briefly and opened the letter, finding the contents even more vexing.

The message was simple, just proposing an outing for horseback riding and archery, suggesting she could bring the children and meet some old classmates.
