Chapter 1413: Chapter 1400: Sixteen Years Ago, A Lotus Blossom Appears Under Each Step_1 Chapter 1413: Chapter 1400: Sixteen Years Ago, A Lotus Blossom Appears Under Each Step_1 “Big brother has a son now?”
The lotus gently swayed, and its petals gradually closed together, transforming into a gorgeous young girl of matchless beauty.
Lin Qingluo appeared as though a celestial being walking on water, her snow-white bare feet stepping on the water's surface. With each step, a lotus flower emerged beneath her feet, supporting her unearthly and charming silhouette all the way to the shore.
“Master.” “Mother.”
“We want to go out and play too.”
Upon hearing Yi Xian'er's shout, the little spirits flew over from all directions, playfully surrounding their mother.
“Alright, everyone can go and join in the fun.”
Lin Qingluo's eyes were gentle, and she waved her delicate hand. A soft golden light enveloped the little spirits.
In an instant, the chubby and rosy little babies disappeared, replaced by six juicy and tender honey peaches.
“Oh, we're going out to play!”
Six honey peaches leaped and danced joyously, happily spinning around her.
“Auntie, I want to go too.”
Little Yijing, hearing the laughter, opened his eyes suddenly, forgetting about grooming himself before dashing out of the Hibiscus Residence.
“Ah, the child hasn't even had breakfast yet.”
Third Lady Lin chased after him out of the neighboring room, watching him run further away.
“Third Lady, don't worry. Time flows ten times faster in The Orb than it does outside, so Miss won't leave too soon. She'll definitely let Little Yijing come back for a meal.”
Wei Shumin brought breakfast over from the kitchen and reassured her with a gentle tone.
“Yes, Third Lady, you're not used to this place yet, but you'll get used to it gradually.”
Zizhu arrived, using Sword Control, holding a bucket of clean spring water in her hand, and poured it into the water tank.
“Third Lady, I'll go call Young Master back.”
Third Lady Lin's personal maid, Xiang Cui, was new to the place, finding everything interesting. She laughed and chased after the child.
“That girl runs pretty fast.”
Third Lady Lin shook her head with a smile, and then returned to her room to change clothes and groom herself.
“Hahaha, Yijing, let's go out and play together.”
Although Ruoxie liked to sleep in, hearing the commotion by Spirit Lake, he quickly crawled out of bed and rushed out of Peach Grove Cottage.
The two adorable children happened to meet by the edge of Spirit Lake, laughing and playing happily together.
“Young Master, Third Lady asks you to come back for breakfast.”
Xiang Cui was slow, poking her head out from halfway up the hill, putting her hands around her mouth like a megaphone and shouting with all her might.
“Little Yijing, listen, let's go back for a meal, and then we'll go out again.”
Lin Qingluo waved her slender jade hand and a huge lotus leaf spun out from the Spirit Lake, landing beside Little Yijing.
“Yijing, let's go eat. I'm hungry too. We'll eat together.”
Seizing the opportunity as Yijing was momentarily stunned, Ruoxie laughed and pulled him onto the lotus leaf.
The lotus leaf soared into the sky, carrying the two adorable children back to the Hibiscus Residence.
“Wow, that's amazing.”
Watching the dream-like scene from halfway up the hill, Xiang Cui's heart raced with excitement.

Sixteen years ago, Su Zixuan ranked second in the imperial examination and was appointed to the Ministry of Public Works. The Huai River basin suffered from disastrous floods nearly every year, causing great suffering for the people.
Lin Jinyun made up his mind to devote the resources of the entire country to solving the water problem.
He selected capable candidates to accompany Xu Liang to the Huai River basin, digging ditches and channels, building bridges and roads, and completely eradicating the hidden dangers of flooding.
Su Zixuan and Xu Ruoxuan were unsurprisingly chosen by the Regent as the most trustworthy candidates.
The two spirited young men were given great responsibility, and they went to the disaster-stricken area without any hesitation or reluctance.
They were gone for ten years.
After a decade of water control, the Huai River basin had three newly excavated artificial river channels, spreading out in a big-character shape passing through major cities in various states, connecting all parts of the country.
Today, passenger and cargo ships travel ceaselessly on the three artificial river channels, bringing prosperity to the towns along the way.
These three artificial rivers have become the most important commercial waterways in Fengqi Empire.
