After the new prince was born, undercurrents surged in the capital. Every force and bigshot started paying attention to this prince which was the first son of concubine Su and the 19th prince of Yang dynasty. Many people sent gifts, visited and congratulated the Su family for giving birth to a dragon, while those who wanted to rope in the Su family for their cause added Yang Tian to their calculations.
Concubine Su was visited and congratulated by many concubines and consorts, even the empress and empress dowager came in person, which caused who knows how many people to grit their teeth in jealousy and envy. Empress came as per etiquette, but it was the arrival of Empress dowager which caused a major upheaval in the entire capital of Daxing.
Few princes' eyes turned red due to jealousy and hatred. Most of them haven't even met with or seen Empress dowager and she actually visited their 19th brother, they wished to strangle this newborn themselves, but didn't dare to make any plans as the grave of concubine Hu wasn't even completely filled. Some princes had other ideas but no one dare to voice out dissatisfaction.
The struggle for throne hadn't yet started, but various forces vying for the rise and stability of their future had already started siding with their choice of prince.
All the excitement toned down a lot in a month, only the Su family still kept receiving gifts and guests while the inner palace welcomed a sudden peaceful moment, since the gaze of emperor was still fixed at the inner palace as well as wuming palace.
At night, the weather was still cold with snowflakes and blizzard zooming outside. Su Lin was sleeping soundly with her baby beside her. While that baby in question was looking at a holographic screen visible only to him.

The baby Yang Tian felt like he was flying through the clouds, with beautiful fairies jumping right into his embrace. When he first came to this world, he was all confused as his memories were fuzzy. But soon, he sprted them all out, made peace with the fact that he reincarnated and waited for the system to fully syncronize with himself.
He paid attention to his surroundings and understood that he was a prince with a powerful family as his backer, born with a golden spoon. But now, it felt like someone gave him unlimited jade diapers to waste and 2 strong diamond knuckles to break his enemies' teeth.
'Ok, that's that, so what's my current progress?'

'Wait, is it what I think it is? Some kind of super human programs? Which can also include other animals or plants?'
[Correct]
'Yahooooo'
"Wawawawawa"
Yang Tian babbled happily, but toned it down to avoid waking his mother. This time, he felt that after flying through clouds and hugging fairies, he had taken a spoonful of honey above with the jade emperor's wife giving him BJ below.
'Ahhh, so relaxing... But won't I be like those villains who made human research programs and made chimeras, mutants and all? Nevermind, I will find a way to safeguard myself first.'
*Yawn*
'Let's check out the shop tomorrow, gotta sleep first.'
Yang Tian closed the system and soon, his eyes closed as he succumbed to his sleep.
Next morning, after the emperor granted her permission, consort Su took her baby to the Su family mansion in the capital. It was in a simple, secluded spot without any big statues or such flamboyance. The manor had 3 gates and was situated on the eastern side of the capital. A simple plaque of 'Su family' hung above the main door.
*Knock* knock*
"Wait wait, coming."
An old voice sounded as the door opened with a creak. An old man stood at the door, only to see consort Su smiling while holding a small newborn and Lili accompanied with 3 maids and an eunuch.
"Ahh, young lady, you are here! Oops, forgive me, consort Su, please come in"
Hearing the word 'consort', Su Lin's brows furrowed as she started nagging the old servant for forgetting her. She nagged all the way to the mansion, where her mother, brother and sisters came to greet her and the whole family reunited again. Su family was always a one family and never extended branches, those who were branched worked for the main Su family, and you would always find a Su family member in the various positions and posts around in their mansion, shops etc.
In the afternoon, everyone went to their own works with Lili playing with her maternal uncle and Su Lin was left chatting with her mother. After the casual talks were over, she held Tian and asked, "Mother, I heard someone planned to poison me and harm Tian'er, were they dealt with?"
"Don't worry Lin'er, everyone involved has been dealt with."
Hearing that they were safe now, Su Lin held her mother's hand and asked "Mother, I heard that the great Qian has almost quelled their rebellion, will they try to invade near future? Will father be safe? I'm worried about him."
Lady Su's face also showed a tinge of anxiety, but after a moment, she once again showed a resolute momentum.
"Lin'er, have you forgot? We, the Su family have always existed since the beginning of Yang dynasty and have mostly hid from limelight. This doesn't mean we are weak, we have our death guards and hundreds of years of accumulation. Don't worry, father took almost all the death guards with him and we are only left with 30 of them in the capital."
*Wawawaohh*
'Death guards? What a badass name. Are they bloodthirsty killers or protecting till death type warriors? Anyway, my mom's family looks like ancient mafias"
Su Lin once again breathed a sigh of relief and was distracted by the babbling of her child in her arms. Madam Su took him on her lap and asked "My cute little grandson, do you enjoy spending time with your grandmother?"
*Wawawaaaa*
""Hahahaha""
Yang Tian smiled happily and babbled, causing both the mother and daughter pair to burst in laughter. Madam Su hugged him as a charming smile bloomed on her face. She was 40 this year, with a charming face and a curvaceous figure. She was managing the house in the capital for years with her eldest son managing the main Su mansion in the Yangzhou prefecture situated in the southern part of Yang dynasty.
