There was also his Jinling.
Jinling must have really missed her.
She had received a letter from Jinling before, where he said that he was dutifully helping the imperial uncle govern the country, discovering that he too had the potential to be an emperor, but being an Emperor was too tiring. He was looking forward to the imperial uncle returning to the court early, just as he was looking forward to her coming back soon, so they could get married.
He said he wanted to have two children.
A boy to study literature with him, whom he would teach to write books, to become a great literary figure of the Great Cheng Dynasty.
The girl would learn martial arts from her and be nurtured to become the next generation of female generals, passing on the brave and resolute bloodline of the Lin family women from generation to generation.
When they grew old and the children had established their own families, they could go on to travel around and enjoy the pleasures of the world.
