Chapter 460: The Day of Triumph, the Feast Begins

Today, the capital of the Yu Dynasty seemed to be dressed in festive attire, and was extremely lively, like a carnival before a banquet.

This was no ordinary day; it was the joyous day when the army returned triumphantly from the southern expedition. The entire capital was immersed in a sea of ​​anticipation and joy.

In the most magnificent private room of Zuixianlou, it was now packed with people, with every seat occupied. All the nobles and dignitaries of the Yu Dynasty had gathered there.

They are either dressed in gorgeous clothes, dazzling and showing their prominent identity and status; or they look relaxed and contented, with uncontrollable excitement and joy between their brows.

Sima Hui, the Prince of Rui, was staring intently at the little one in Madam Qiu's arms. He frowned slightly and asked softly, "What's the name of this little guy?"

Madam Qiu glanced lovingly at her beloved, a happy smile blooming on her face. Then she slowly raised her head and said softly to Prince Rui, "Qiu Yinxu..."

When Prince Rui heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Yue'er was truly extraordinary, actually sending such a valuable gift to her enemy!

He turned his head and looked to the side, only to see General Li teasing another little kid. A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he asked again: "What about this one? What's its name?"

Upon seeing this, the butler hurried forward in two steps and respectfully reported to Prince Rui, "Our young master's surname is Li and his name is Yin Qi."

Then, the housekeeper continued to talk non-stop: "There is also someone from Princess Xian's side, his name is Li Yinmo."

At this time, Prince Rui looked at the Seventh Prince, Sima Xian, who was happily teasing the little kid, and couldn't help but jokingly said, "Hey, don't you always hate little kids? Why are you having so much fun now?"

Sima Xian, the Prince of Idleness, didn't even raise his head. He replied calmly, "He's still young and can't speak. What trouble can he cause?"

Prince Rui was choked and speechless, muttering to himself, this family is really weird, their thoughts jump around so much that it's hard to keep up.

Sima Nan sneaked closer with his eyes narrowed, his eyes flashing with curiosity and doubt, and he muttered to himself:

When did Yue'er get pregnant with triplets? Yue'er wasn't even married, so how could she suddenly be pregnant? He couldn't help but smack his lips, his mind racing with speculation.

"Oh, look at these three little kids, they're so adorable! Even though they don't look exactly alike, each one is a masterpiece, like little elves that popped out of a painting. I've never seen such adorable kids!"

Sima Nan's face was full of amazement, and his eyes seemed to be firmly hooked by the smiles of the triplets. Even his own sons had never brought him such a strong visual impact.

He nudged Sima Yan beside him and said in a low voice, "Brother, how come we didn't hear anything about Yue'er having triplets? Whose son is this? He's so bold that our princess actually took a fancy to him. She only wants the son and not the father?"

Sima Yan reluctantly pulled his brother's hand away, frowning and saying, "What's the use of having a father? I guess Yue'er has always believed that she can choose her own father. Her biological father is still struggling to survive..."

Sima Nan was shocked after hearing this, his mouth opened wide, his eyes full of disbelief, "The Yun family member is still alive? I remember he took a lot of Wu Shi San and was almost dying. How is he still alive now? This is incredible!"

He scratched his head in confusion, his mind full of thoughts, and he was extremely bewildered by this sudden situation.

Sima Yan stood quietly by the window, looking through the gap in the window at the bustling and noisy streets outside.

The numerous people were like a group of impatient ants, and they had already occupied every inch of land on both sides of the street. They stretched their necks, looking forward to the direction of the army entering the city with anticipation and a little nervousness on their faces.

They seemed full of curiosity and worry about the upcoming grand event, and their anxious or excited faces looked particularly vivid in the sunlight.

"Yue'er wants these people to pay for their sins in this lifetime. Humph, how can we let them die so easily!"

Sima Yan raised his head slightly, leaning against the mottled window frame, with a barely perceptible chill in his eyes.

Sima Nan sighed softly and continued, "These two Yun brothers are truly ungrateful. Isn't suicide the most direct way to escape? They have to torture themselves to death and endure this pain while still alive."

Listening to his brother's somewhat childish remarks, Sima Yan couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly and sighed secretly in his heart.

He slowly spoke, "They want to, too, but they've died several times and were rescued each time. They've had enough of that kind of death, so they no longer have the courage to try again. Perhaps deep down, they still have a lingering reluctance."

Sima Nan asked his elder brother curiously, "Didn't your master, Taoist Jiugong, say anything?"

Sima Nan touched the head of one of the little kids, a helpless smile on his face. He was about to speak, but Sima Yan took the lead.

Sima Yan rolled his eyes and said with a hint of dissatisfaction, "That's all old news. Look at my master, how can he care about me now? He's obsessed with Yue'er and doesn't care about us youngsters anymore."

Prince Rui sat quietly aside, his deep eyes seemed to hide endless thoughts. He just listened silently to his two sons whispering beside him. The subtle voices seemed particularly clear in this quiet space.

He was indeed very curious about who the father of Yue'er triplets was, and that curiosity was like a small flame burning quietly in his heart.

However, he understood deeply that the Li family and Madam Qiu had both chosen to remain silent at this moment, as if they had locked this secret tightly in their hearts.

He sighed softly, shook his head slightly, and thought to himself: Perhaps some things are destined to be a difficult mystery from the beginning, so why should they be so obsessed with that unattainable answer?

After all, there are many other more important things in life waiting for them to face.

Old Madam Qiu's face was filled with a happy smile, her eyes fixed on the great-grandson in her arms. The light shining in her eyes seemed to illuminate the whole world.

At this moment, her greatest wish was to live a few more years, to witness her great-grandson grow up day by day, to successfully inherit the bloodline of her enemy, and to allow the enemy's incense to continue.

She knew that for a family, inheritance of future generations was the most important thing, and now she had such a lovely great-grandson, her heart was filled with comfort.

General Li stood aside, watching as almost everyone in the room gathered around the three children. The lively scene filled his heart with an indescribable joy.

He thought to himself that as long as Yue'er could have an offspring, then everything would be worth it.

At this moment, a deafening cheer suddenly came from outside the house. The sound was like rolling spring thunder, instantly breaking the tranquility in the house.

Immediately afterwards, teams of neatly-organized soldiers marched into the city with firm steps. Their majestic posture and high morale made people excited.

The army entered the city...
