Chapter 969: The Crown Prince’s Hesitation
“Is Your Majesty tired? Shall I give you a ma.s.sage?” Qian’er asked softly.
Lu Fenying had given her and her son status. Although she was just a concubine, it was still better than being a slave.
A concubine was at least his woman.
Other people had to call her “my lady” when they saw her.
Although it didn’t matter to her, the crown prince’s status had to be safeguarded.
Thus, Qian’er didn’t argue with Lu Fenying no matter how he treated her.
“No need.”
Lu Fenying pulled her into his arms and closed his eyes.
Although the journey had been slow for the sake of taking care of the baby, it was more tiring and took longer.
Qian’er felt like the skin had been rubbed off her bottom.
Sometimes when they were resting, she would rub medicine on it.
Qian’er was tired as well, but she still remembered the baby and didn’t dare close her eyes. The baby would look for her after he had his milk.
“Sleep. Don’t make me repeat myself,” Lu Fenying said coldly. Qian’er could only close her eyes obediently.
If she didn’t listen, he might ask someone to take the crown prince away.
This had happened many times in the past few days.
She didn’t want the little crown prince to be out of hearing range. That way, she would know immediately if the little crown prince cried.
It wasn’t the first time Lu Fenying regretted bringing this rotten kid back.
Mo Qian’er’s attention wasn’t on him at all. Her eyes were fixed on the little boy every day.
n.o.body would feel comfortable when their woman cared more about someone else’s baby.
Women really forgot about men once they had children.
Mo Qian’er was indeed tired. She couldn’t touch the baby when Lu Fenying didn’t let her, so she simply slept.
An hour later, she was woken up by the baby’s cries.
“What happened? Why is the crown prince crying?” Mo Qian’er hurriedly sat up.
Lu Fenying opened his eyes and glanced at her coldly. “What’s wrong with a baby crying? Why are you so nervous?”
Mo Qian’er said aggrievedly, “The baby is so young; he must be feeling uncomfortable.”
Lu Fenying snorted and thought to himself, I was in so much pain when I was young, and n.o.body cared no matter how I cried. In the end, I was thrown out of the palace and left to die.
Only Mo Qian’er regarded this sickly child as a treasure.
The wet nurse’s voice came from outside. “Your Majesty, my lady, the little crown prince fell asleep after he had his milk. He just woke up and needs to pee.”
“Then go.”
Mo Qian’er finally relaxed.
Lu Fenying looked at her coldly, and Mo Qian’er’s shoulders trembled slightly. It wasn’t her fault. As soon as the baby cried, she was worried that something was wrong.
Lu Fenying no longer slept, and got out of bed. He put on his clothes and left.
Mo Qian’er ignored him. In any case, he could do whatever he wanted. There was only the baby in her heart.
“Bring the little crown prince in.” Mo Qian’er put on her clothes and got off the bed. The little crown prince had already relieved himself, and was waving his fists in excitement. It seemed that he had only woken up because he needed to pee.
Mo Qian’er took the crown prince and smiled happily. “Good boy, you’re so happy even after peeing.”
The crown prince pouted. Of course he would be happy after relieving himself.
He was a baby now, and his life was extremely boring. Apart from listening to them talk when he was awake, he had no other entertainment.
Who knew when this body would grow up!
