Pampered By All In Different Planes-Chapter 349: After Disguising Herself as a Man, the Rabbit Spirit Ran Away with a Baby in Her Womb 59

In front of her, Shen Qingman sometimes felt like he was just an assistant, complying with Su Zhiruan’s wishes and handling matters.

Initially, she borrowed the names of the Emperor and others to handle affairs, but later on, the courtiers actually knew that it was Su Zhiruan doing all the work, so she no longer needed to use the identity of the Empress.

Both the Emperor and Empress, as well as Shen Qingman, and even including the concubines of the harem, fully supported Su Zhiruan’s hold on power and her efforts to enhance it. They only wished to stay in the harem and take care of the four adorable babies.

"Sister, are you really going to name these kids Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter?" Shen Qingman supported his chin and watched Su Zhiruan tasting tea. He spoke nonsense on the side, letting his imagination run wild, "That’s too simple. After all, they are your children. Why not let the Internal Affairs Office come up with a few better names? They would sound more impressive that way."

Su Zhiruan set down her teacup and looked at him with a helpless frown, "If you have nothing to do, then go entertain the dignitaries, or review more petitions."

"I’m not idle, I have things to do," Shen Qingman immediately interrupted Su Zhiruan’s suggestion. If he really followed her ideas, by now he would probably be the busiest and most humble Crown Prince in the entire Shen Kingdom, "But don’t you really want to consider it? While the children are still young and don’t know what they are called, it’s a good opportunity to name them."

Su Zhiruan looked at his animated expression and was somewhat distracted for a moment.

Not because of what he said, but Shen Qingman’s expression when he had spoken just now—it closely resembled Feng Qing.

Thinking of Feng Qing made her think of Changqi, and then realizing he was the father of the children, Su Zhiruan cast her eyes down and skimmed away the foam with the lid of her teacup, her voice faint, "Then have the Internal Affairs Office select a few and bring them to me to see."

"You’ve finally come around!" Shen Qingman’s face revealed a beaming smile, and he leaned in close to her, his tone tinged with emotion, "A name is indeed very important. I heard that when Father named me, because he had sat in a light boat in the Barbaric lands, he named me Shen Qingman. To think that I, a Crown Prince, would be stuck with such a name!"

The more Shen Qingman talked, the angrier he became, but he could see the smile on Su Zhiruan’s face growing bigger and bigger.

"I didn’t expect it to be like this." Su Zhiruan held her teacup and smiled at him, "That’s really interesting."

"Sister," Shen Qingman, seeing her relaxed and comfortable appearance, suddenly started talking, "don’t be too happy too early, because you still don’t know your own name."

"Then what is it?" Su Zhiruan didn’t believe him at all. After all, she was just an impostor, so listening a bit more wouldn’t hurt.

"Shen Qingkuang." The smile on Shen Qingman’s face grew even wider as he watched her intently, seemingly waiting for a response.

"Your Shen Family Imperial Family has a unique style when it comes to naming." Su Zhiruan just treated it as a bit of fun and didn’t take it to heart. After setting down her teacup, she picked up a writing brush and dipped it in ink, ready to draft the next step of her plan.

Seeing that she didn’t care, Shen Qingman leisurely added, "You never know, one of these days Father might take a notion, and have you recognize your ancestors and switch your name back."

Su Zhiruan: "..."

It seemed she still had to continue to keep power in her own hands.

Time flew by.

The changes in the Human World happened day by day, with something new developing every day.

Su Zhiruan governed for a mere seven years.

In the heavens, a single day passes, while a year goes by on earth. Counting the days, for the Divine World, it was but the blink of an eye.

At this moment, within a bustling tavern of the Shen Kingdom.

The storyteller was speaking animatedly above, while the audience below listened intently, their eyes unable to keep up.

"It is said that that year—the Crown Prince brought back the Princess from the common folk, that was the beginning," the storyteller glanced below with his eyes, noticing everyone’s keen interest, he stroked his beard contentedly and continued, "This is the beginning of the legendary tale of our Shen Kingdom’s Princess! Those with money, support with cash, and those without, support with your presence!"

"Keep going, keep going, you always stop halfway, leaving us itching to hear more!" The spectators were already impatient, grabbing coins and tossing them towards the storyteller’s head.

"Don’t be hasty," the storyteller removed the coins from his head, took a sip of strong liquor, and continued his tale, "Legend has it that our current Princess is actually a fairy Lady who descended to save us. If you don’t believe it, let me add a few more words—when the Crown Prince found her, she had just given birth to quadruplets! Everyone knows how difficult childbirth is, twins are already incredibly challenging, and these quadruplets, they are truly Immortal children sent from above!"

"Ah!?" Gasps of surprise erupted from the crowd, and the storyteller, very pleased with himself, simply continued.

"The Princess and the four Immortal children descended upon Shen Kingdom, and the Emperor and Empress, knowing she came to save us, yielded power to her," the storyteller spoke nonstop about Su Zhiruan’s contributions over the years, "In these years, the things our Princess has done, all of us can see, constructing dykes, rooting out traitors, unifying the script, establishing new schools, oh, these numerous tasks, even if I spoke until the day after tomorrow morning, I couldn’t finish!"

"Then what? Keep going." Someone stared at him with wide eyes, eager for the continuation.

"However, I hold a secret," the storyteller gestured secretively, "This matter cannot be divulged, known only to those present."

"It’s said that the Princess’s mission this time was to unify the six nations of Shen Kingdom, enrich the nation and strengthen the people, and after accomplishing these, she will take the Immortal children, donning the Feathered Robe, and ascend to the Immortal World!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire place became a buzz of excitement.

Everyone was discussing fervently.

"Can it be true that the Princess is really going to ascend? What will happen to Shen Kingdom? We can’t do without the Princess."

"If that’s the purpose of the Immortals, then it’s possible that the Princess really will ascend!"

"Alright, alright, don’t be too sad, after the Princess ascends, won’t we still have the Crown Prince?!"

"Who would have thought the rumors among the commoners could be so enthralling."

On the second floor of the tavern, a man and a woman were sitting opposite each other. The woman retracted her gaze from the storyteller, yawned, and prepared to stand up, "Shall we leave?"

"Now?" Shen Qingman’s expression seemed a bit startled, as if he hadn’t quite grasped the situation.

He instinctively wanted to grab Su Zhiruan’s sleeve. Seeing her retract her hand, he embarrassingly drew back his own, but his eyes did not leave her face, and he whispered, "Why not sit down and have some tea?"

On hearing this, Su Zhiruan also understood much of what was in his heart. She sighed inwardly but sat back down and poured hot tea into both of their cups.

"The rumors among the people now all say that you’re a fairy who descended to save Shen Kingdom," Shen Qingman said, stealing glances at her expression, "There’s been a question I’ve wanted to ask you all along."
