Minos returned from court and saw a heartwarming scene of mother and son enjoying each other's company, a gentle smile gracing his handsome and refined face.
He plucked a blue rose in full bloom and walked forward, saying, "Flowers for a beautiful woman, Luo Luo."
Sang Luo turned her head and smelled the fragrance of the rose, taking the bouquet from his hand and inhaling deeply, smiling as she said, "You have quite the talent for tending to these flowers and plants.
I used to like growing flowers at home, but they always withered and died.
I don't have the skill or patience for it."
"If you like, you can dig up a few plants from the garden to take back and grow.
There are many flowers in the garden."
"Forget it, I'd rather not torment these poor little flowers ~ Your garden is beautifully tended, I like it very much, and I always feel good when I'm here."
Sang Luo closed her eyes, took a deep breath of the rich, mixed floral fragrance, and then opened her eyes, smiling lazily, "It's a coincidence, every time I come, the flowers in the garden are in full bloom.
I've never seen these flowers wither."
"Hehe, that's because Daddy uses the power of time to keep the flowers at their most beautiful, just waiting for Mommy to come and have tea and admire the flowers with Mommy ~"
Little Apple, the bigmouth, revealed all of his dad's little secrets.
Minos scolded softly, "Ares!"
Little Apple covered his head and jumped off the stool, "Eee, Daddy is shy again!
Embarrassed into anger!
Mommy, save me!"
Sang Luo leaned over and kissed Minos on the face, "I didn't expect my great angel to be so thoughtful ~"
Minos's handsome face flushed slightly, his long eyelashes drooping, "You don't come to the Holy Palace often, and the flowers always bloom and fade.
The beautiful appearance of the blooming flowers is sought after, but the appearance of the fading flowers is annoying.
I want you to see the beauty of the flowers in full bloom every time you come."
Sang Luo looked at him seriously, "In my opinion, these flowers are not even one-tenth as beautiful as you.
I have already received the most beautiful bouquet of blue roses in the world, and I like both the beautiful appearance when they are in full bloom and when they are withering."
"Luo Luo…"
Little Rose covered her eyes, unable to bear it, Father and Mother are being lovey-dovey again!
"Cough."
Sang Luo saw that the children were still present and dared not go too far.
Minos sat down on the stone bench next to her and saw a few books on the stone table, "Are you teaching the children arithmetic and literacy?"
"Yes, I'm idle anyway.
The two little angels look small, but I've been asleep for ten years, and they're not too young, so they should learn something."
Sang Luo clipped the bouquet into the book and closed it, and will continue to teach the children next time.
Minos nodded and changed his words, "Luo Luo is right, they should learn something."
Sang Luo casually asked, "Do you have any good candidates for tutors in mind?"
Minos looked at the two children.
The two little angels were blessed with inspiration.
Little Apple grabbed Sang Luo's calf and acted cute with a soft, glutinous voice, "I don't want a tutor!
I want Mommy to teach me personally, I don't want anyone else, and I don't want Father either!
Otherwise, I'll sneak out to play!"
"You brat, you're even threatening me."
Little Rose also echoed, "I like Mommy the most ~ As long as Mommy teaches us, my brother and I will definitely learn quickly and well!"
Sang Luo laughed.
These two have also learned to play the roles of 'good cop' and 'bad cop'.
Minos smiled, "There are no satisfactory candidates for the time being.
I'll look for them when I have a chance in the future."
"Well, then the important task of teaching these two little guys will fall on me for now."
Minos picked up a pastry from the table and tasted it, "I met His Highness Alanis, the Beast King, today."
Sang Luo's mood didn't fluctuate much, it's just that she hadn't heard this name in a long time, "Oh?
He came to the Holy Palace?"
"Yes, His Highness Alanis, the Beast King, will be marrying a princess from a neighboring country soon.
Both countries are under the protection of the Holy Palace.
According to tradition, the wedding ceremony and the coronation ceremony of each Beast King are of the same standard, and the Holy Palace needs to send a Holy Envoy to bestow blessings and gifts, to send the blessings of the Holy Palace for this happy marriage."
Sang Luo nodded, "He drank the Water of Oblivion, so many years have passed, he should have moved on long ago.
I will also send a gift that day, please ask the Holy Envoy to take it over for me."
"Okay."
Minos saw her hesitation, "Are you worried about Hephaestus?"
Sang Luo nodded slowly, "To be honest, I'm a little worried.
I heard that when a child has a stepmother, they will have a stepfather.
Duotu now values this only child very much, but he may have another child with that princess in the future, and Hephaestus will be neglected to some extent at that time.
I don't know if it will affect him."
"If you are worried, you can bring Hephaestus to the Holy Palace, and I will treat him as my own child."
Sang Luo knew that Minos liked every child she gave birth to and would take care of them carefully, but there is still a difference between biological children and adopted children, and even a saint's heart cannot be completely impartial.
If possible, she would naturally prefer Hephaestus to grow up with his biological father.
But if Duotu really has a second son in the future and treats her son badly, she will definitely bring the child to her side to raise herself without Minos even asking!
"That child has been brought up by his biological father since he was a child, and he values Duotu very much.
I can only rank second in his heart… Let's wait and see.
If Little Sun is treated badly and sincerely wants to come back, I will bring him back to the Holy Palace for you to raise."
As Sang Luo spoke, she began to miss the little lion again, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen that child for a long time.
Has he come to the Holy Palace to play?
He should be much bigger than he was ten years ago."
"In the past, in his spare time, he would come to play with Vilina and Ares, but I can see that that child actually wanted to see you more… He came many times during the ten years you were asleep.
Later, perhaps because his studies became more and more burdensome, he came less and less often.
It has been half a year since that child last came."
"Alas, I often pay the least attention to him."
"I heard some good news about Hephaestus today, though."
"Oh?"
"That child has successfully transformed.
He should want to see you."
As if by coincidence, just as the two were talking about Hephaestus, a guard came forward to report, "Greetings, Holy Lord and Holy Queen, the little crown prince of the Alanis Empire has arrived."
"Mommy!"
An excited, clear voice rang out not far away.
Sang Luo got up and looked over, and a young, golden-brown-haired curly-haired little boy ran over.
He had a pair of extremely beautiful lake-green eyes, and when he smiled, he would reveal sharp tiger teeth.
He looked very delicate and beautiful, and also exuded a heroic spirit!
"Hephaestus, Mommy hasn't seen you for a long time, you've grown so much."
Sang Luo hugged the little boy who threw himself into her arms, touched his soft, golden-brown dyed hair, her eyes full of pity.
Hephaestus rubbed against her in her arms, his voice full of deep attachment, "Mommy, I miss you so much!"
