Chapter 9

Lin Xuan couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. It turned out it was because of this one sentence.

"Why did he say that Father looks like a girl?" Lin Xuan asked again.

Xuan You pouted and said, "Because he said Father's face is very pale, and boys don't have such pale faces; only girls do!"

This sentence made the few adults present unable to hold back their laughter.

It turned out that the two children had a conflict because of this sentence.

Speaking of which, Lin Xuan's handsome and beautiful appearance was rare even in the Northern Xuan Heaven.

His beauty could even make many women pale in comparison.

Donghuang Deye, unable to hold back his laughter, pinched Donghuang Haoyu's face and scolded, "Brat, that's called handsome!"

"Men's faces can also be very pale and beautiful, do you know that?"

Donghuang Haoyu looked confused: "Boys can also be this beautiful?"

"Of course!"

Donghuang Deye nodded, "Difou, your cousin-in-law, is the most handsome man in the world, understand?"

As he spoke, Donghuang Deye took the initiative to establish a relationship with Lin Xuan.

According to his relationship with Donghuang Ziyao, it was indeed not excessive for Donghuang Haoyu to call Lin Xuan his cousin-in-law.

"Oh, I understand, I understand!" Donghuang Haoyu hurriedly bowed to Lin Xuan, "Cousin-in-law, I'm sorry!"

Lin Xuan rubbed his head: "It's fine."

"Hmph!" Xuan You crossed her arms, looking proud and saying, "You see, I wasn't wrong."

Donghuang Deye pushed Donghuang Haoyu: "Go and apologize to your sister."

Although Donghuang Haoyu was hit more, there was no way around it; the fault was on his side.

Moreover, Xuan You was the daughter of the Empress, so Donghuang Deye could only make his son take the initiative to admit his mistake.

Donghuang Haoyu walked up and held Xuan You's little hand: "Xuan You, I was wrong."

"Hmph!" Xuan You remained proud.

Donghuang Haoyu, helpless, took out a small wrapped candy from his pocket:

"Xuan You, I'll give you this candy. Will you stop being angry with me?"

Xuan You snatched the candy, didn't open the wrapper, and said first, "My father is the most handsome boy!"

Donghuang Haoyu nodded: "Yes!"

Xuan You: "And, my father is the most capable boy!"

Donghuang Haoyu: "Yes!"

Xuan You saw that Donghuang Haoyu was sincere.

Only then did she peel the wrapper and lick the candy, saying, "It's so sweet, I forgive you!"

Donghuang Deye secretly sighed in relief, finally pacifying this little demoness.

Xuan You then turned and pounced into Lin Xuan's arms, grinning:

"I finally have a father too!"

"Before, they always boasted about their fathers, but I didn't have one!"

"Now, I can finally boast about my father too!"

Hearing this, Lin Xuan felt a slight pang in his heart.

It turned out that this little girl's strong reaction was due to the accumulated emotions in her heart.

Since she grew up, she had always seen other children boasting about their fathers.

He imagined she must have felt very frustrated.

"You are truly a good daughter of Father!" Lin Xuan couldn't help but kiss her chubby little face, "Father promises to always be by your side!"

Seeing Lin Xuan kiss Xuan You, Xuanzhu, Xuanxi, and Xuanhan were suddenly filled with jealousy.

The three little girls rushed up and hugged Lin Xuan: "Father, kiss me too!"

"Ha ha ha, okay!" Lin Xuan immediately met his daughters' demands, giving each of them a loving kiss.

Seeing this warm scene, everyone present was envious.

Having daughters is great!

Four little girls always around, it's truly a blessing!

"Wow, so much love!"

Mu Youqing came behind Lin Xuan, just in time to see him kiss his four daughters, and her heart melted.

"Cousin-in-law, the tea party is about to start, let me take you there."

Xuanzhu and the others saw Mu Youqing and greeted her enthusiastically: "Auntie, hello!"

Among the young people of the Donghuang family, Mu Youqing and the four children, Xuanzhu and the others, had the best relationship.

Seeing Xuanzhu and Xuanxi jump into Mu Youqing's arms, Lin Xuan nodded: "Let's go."

Mu Youqing picked up Xuanzhu and Xuanxi, kissing each of them:

"Two little treasures, you've gotten a bit heavier after a few days without being held."

Xuanzhu and Xuanxi looked at each other in horror.

"Ah, did I get fat?"

"Did I eat too much last night?"

The two little girls, who had been with Donghuang Ziyao, often saw her go without eating for many days.

Influenced by this, they also understood a bit about maintaining their figures.

Now, hearing Mu Youqing say this, the little girls' hearts were clouded with worry.

"Ha ha, Auntie was just teasing you!"

Mu Youqing smiled indulgently, "Auntie, though not as powerful as your mother, is also at the Quasi-Emperor realm. How could I find you heavy?"

Hearing this, Lin Xuan felt a bit embarrassed.

No wonder, as a young talent of the Donghuang family, Mu Youqing was already at the Quasi-Emperor realm at such a young age.

If she were a bit older, who knows what she would achieve?

On the way, they chatted and laughed, and Lin Xuan soon arrived at the gathering place with Mu Youqing.

In the center of the garden, on a small hill, stood a pavilion.

This pavilion was called the Fengya Pavilion.

Just from the name, one could tell it was a place for refined and elegant people to gather.

And the people inside were all of extraordinary demeanor.

Not only were they dressed in luxurious and elegant clothing, but their expressions also exuded an aura of wealth and nobility.

However, not a single person had the air of a spoiled rich kid who looked down on others.

This made Lin Xuan feel very comfortable.

Indeed, people who could be around a seemingly simple girl like Mu Youqing must have good character.

Mu Youqing proudly introduced, "Let me introduce you, this is the Empress's man, Lin Xuan!"

All the young men and women of the royal family looked at him with admiration.

"Truly worthy of being the Empress's husband, his demeanor is unmatched!"

"The Empress's husband's appearance is the most handsome in the Northern Xuan Heaven!"

"So handsome! I envy the Empress so much!"

Hearing the praise, Xuanzhu, Xuanxi, Xuanhan, and Xuan You all had satisfied expressions on their little faces.

In the past, wherever they went, they saw other children boasting about their fathers.

Now, it was finally their turn to enjoy the feeling of having a father!

At Mu Youqing's invitation, Lin Xuan then took the main seat at the table.

Since she was helping to take care of the children, Mu Youqing sat beside him.

Mu Youqing then introduced everyone present to Lin Xuan.

Among them, Shangguan Jie and Chong Lingting seemed to be the most outstanding of these young talents.

"Shangguan and Chong are just one step away from the Emperor realm."

"Not only that, they are famous scholars in the Northern Xuan Heaven, excelling in poetry, chess, calligraphy, and painting."

"Their knowledge is extensive, and they are known as the 'Two Wonders of the Northern Xuan.'"

After Mu Youqing finished her introduction, a royal family girl added a few words.

Then, the tea party officially began.

After some casual chat, a royal family youth asked Shangguan Jie: "Shangguan Brother, at the last tea party, you said you had an ancient masterpiece to share with us."

"I wonder if you can share it now, to broaden our horizons?"

Shangguan Jie shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Sigh, this masterpiece is truly too difficult!"

"No matter how I think about it, due to my limited talent, I can't write a poem that perfectly matches it."

Chong Lingting agreed, "Yes, Shangguan Brother also came to me, but I couldn't write it either."

Mu Youqing exclaimed, "Is it really that difficult? With your high poetic skills, you can't even write a matching poem?"

Shangguan Jie and Chong Lingting nodded simultaneously.

"Not only us, even our teachers are helpless." Both of them smiled bitterly.
