“Ai Jia’s two little golden grandchildren, come here, come over to your Royal Grandma…”
On the floor paved with plush blankets, two Xiao Baozis wrapped like small silkworm pupae were sitting in the center of the blanket. Hearing Zhang Suns.h.i.+’s call, the smaller, cute Xiao Baozi raised her head. Her clear eyes were s.h.i.+ning. After seeing the person calling her, her eyes narrowed into two crescent moons, then her short hands stretched out. Using both hands and feet, she crawled towards Zhang Suns.h.i.+.
The big Baozi next to her saw that the little Baozi was moving, so his phoenix eyes that looked like Feng Tingye’s s.h.i.+ned slightly. With his little hands supporting him, he followed along.
The two children were already seven/eight months old. They were a lot rounder than when Xia Yuqing left, and were already able to crawl a short distance. It’s just that their hands and feet were still a little inconvenient. The little Baozi crawled for a while, tripped on her twos hands, and fell into the plush blanket with a thump. Her mouth turned downwards, and tears began to gather in her eyes.
“!” Although the blanket was soft and wouldn’t hurt if one fell down, it still surprised the group of people nearby.
As soon as they wanted to go forward and pick up the child, they saw big Baozi not far away speeding up. He stepped forward, turned her over, embraced her, and then kissed her poor little cheek.
The small Baozi sobbed twice under her brother’s comfort. She stretched out a short hand to hold her brother’s s.h.i.+rt tightly, sniffed a few times, and burst into laughter after a while.
The people who saw this scene instantly melted. They screamed uncontrollably despite the fact that Zhang Suns.h.i.+ was still there.
“Ahhhh …… he kissed his sister to coax her. His Royal Highness is too cute ahhhhh! The little princess who was kissed is also too cute ahhhh!”
Zhang Suns.h.i.+ listening to the screams at the side did not mind. Not only that, but she also felt a sense of honor. These two children who were cute to the max were her golden grandchildren!
Staring intently at the loving scene in front of her, she instantly felt like…
“Mei Xi, it was right to bring these two little golden grandchildren here! Look at my eldest golden grandson’s appearance. He was carved out of the same mold as Ting Er. Ting Er was always alone when he was a child, lonely and sad. Ai Jia had always wanted to have another child with the previous emperor, but unfortunately the conditions did not allow it. Now seeing that my golden grandson has a sister and with the two loving each other like this, it can be regarded as fulfilling the wish of Ai Jia. Seeing how cute these two children are, Ai Jia feels like she returned to the time when Ting Er was just born. I instantly feel a lot younger.”
Listening to Zhang Suns.h.i.+’s sigh, Mei Xi couldn’t help showing a gentle smile: “When the empress dowager sees His Royal Highness and the young princess, it’s like seeing the emperor and the empress when they were young, naturally the empress dowager would be happy. As the saying goes, a smile will gain you ten more years of life. Empress dowager’s age is not very old. Now with two grandchildren taking the tasks of making their elders happy, the empress dowager can be happy every day with cheers and laughter. Nu Bi can also see that the empress dowager is getting younger and younger these days.”
Zhang Suns.h.i.+ listened to Mei Xi’s words, and smiled even bigger, from ear to ear: “Just your mouth is sweet. Basically you’re saying, no matter what, it is Ai Jia’s golden grandchildren who are the cutest and most adorable. Come, come, come hug Ai Jia.”
Zhang Suns.h.i.+ said this as she walked over to the two little buns who had separated and started to play. She first picked up big bun, and just when she wanted to take the little one, she felt a gust of wind blowing in from the outside!
“Royal Mother, Dudu, Dundun, I’m back to see you……!” Xia Yuqing pushed open the door of the side hall of the Ci Ning Palace and blew past everyone like a spinning top.
Everyone just saw a blur in front of them. Then in the next second, they saw that the little princess who was squatting on the ground was gone. Looking up, they saw a familiar figure hugging the baby in their arms vigorously.
“Woo, Dundun, mother misses you. I haven’t seen you for so long. Have you missed mother? Let mother see…” Xia Yuqing held little bun who started tearing up for a while. Everyone was surprised. Under their gaze, she took out a small measuring tape, gestured to little bun, and muttered to herself: “Compared with when I left, she has grown more than ten centimeters and gained a lot. She looks very round like pearls…ahhhh!”
Xia Yuqing dropped the tape measure in her hand and screamed a dolphin sound. She hugged the warm little bun in her hands tightly, and began to kiss her: “She’s becoming so cute, I have to kiss you, right? Another kiss, isn’t enough, it isn’t~”
“…”
Dundun who was held in Xia Yuqing’s arms, clearly felt uncomfortable. She wrinkled her little face. Everyone was holding their breath and waiting. Then just when the little princess was going to open the flood gates, the little princess seemed to recognize the smell on Xia Yuqing’s body. She opened her mouth and yawned, then turned over in Xia Yuqing’s arms. She grabbed the long hair in front of Xia Yuqing, and uttered a cute cry: “Ah Yi…”
“!” Xia Yuqing looked at her. Immediately she casted red eyes, and hugged her tightly. She was excited again…
“The little…the little princess didn’t cry, she even turned in Niang Niang’s arms!” Someone exclaimed out loud and recalled everyone’s focus.
Zhang Suns.h.i.+ was stunned by Xia Yuqing’s appearance, but she couldn’t help but smile when she saw this scene: “It’s really the nature of a mother and daughter duo. How long have they not seen each other, but the little princess still recognizes Qing Er.”
“Yes, yes. Although, the little princess is well behaved usually, she doesn’t just smile for anyone who holds her. But just now when Niang Niang held the little princess, did you see how big of a smile she had.”
When Mei Xi said this, the grandson in the arms of Zhang Suns.h.i.+ bit his finger. He turned his head and glanced at the little bun who was smiling brilliantly in Xia Yuqing’s arms, then looked up at Xia Yuqing. He immediately recognized that this person was the person that had been nagging to himself that day about a bunch of strange things, his strange mother. He wanted to take his sister back, but unfortunately he had the will but no strength. He could only wave his fists angrily.
Hmph, this time because his sister is happy, he will not deal with her. In the future, he must separate his sister from this weird mother. He cannot let his mother ruin his sister!
Xia Yuqing was totally oblivious that to her sis-con eldest son, she had already risen to someone who he was going to reject dealings with. Instead, she was still holding a soft, milky little bun who was reluctant to let go.
Zhang Suns.h.i.+ looked at her and couldn’t help but smile. She asked softly: “When did you come back? Where’s Ting Er? Why didn’t he come with you? Why didn’t you say anything in advance when you came back? Ai Jia could have sent someone to pick you guys up. “
“No need, Royal Mother. Chen Qie and His Majesty didn’t want Royal Mother to make a big fuss over it, so we didn’t tell you in advance.” Xia Yuqing smiled obediently while holding the little bun, “As for His Majesty, as soon as he returned to the palace, the prime minister dragged him to the imperial study. Pulled into the imperial study room, he probably will take a while before coming over to Royal Mother for greetings.”
Seeing the prime minister’s anxious look, she wondered if he was worried about the Grand Tutor and the Xiao Shangshu not seeing the emperor for a long time. Thus, he specifically asked the emperor to see the two first, in order to relieve their lovesickness. Then when the love is pa.s.sionate, maybe…
Thinking of this, Xia Yuqing’s brain was unstoppable and infinitely magnified the situation, directly from foreplay to various positions. Ahhhhhh… if she didn’t want to come back to see the children, she would have just followed them just now to observe!
Zhang Suns.h.i.+ looked at Xia Yuqing’s lost appearance. Thinking she was sad because Feng Tingye did not come with her, she changed the subject, “Ting Er has been away from the palace for so long, although Yan Ran and the others stayed in the palace, there is still a backlog of government affairs. By the way, since you just came from Xiang Er’s, how is Xiang Er? How is your Eldest Royal Brother…”
“Oh, Xiang Er? Don’t worry about it, Xiang Er is fine. Eldest Royal Brother is treating her very well, everything follows her wishes. The only thing is that since Xiang Er has been pregnant recently, her temper has not been particularly good.”
“Pregnancy is like this. When a child causes a ruckus, the mood of a mother is naturally bad. You make sure to support your Eldest Royal Brother.”
Xia Yuqing snorted after hearing these words: “There’s no need at all. One is willing to fight and one is willing to endure, he’s the lid to her pot. No one will run away.”
“What? ” Zhang Suns.h.i.+ could not hear clearly and asked again.
Xia Yuqing hurriedly laughed and said: “I mean it’s okay. Xiang Er is pregnant, so my Eldest Royal Brother is crazy with happiness, how can he not follow her wishes for everything? Royal Mother doesn’t have to worry about it. Maybe in a few months, Xiang Er will give birth to a nephew to you.”
“That’s fine, that’s fine. Xiang Er and you are both the most beloved of Ai Jia. Now that you have children, Ai Jia is happy. You should take a moment to let someone go to the Liu Mansion and tell my brother about the current situation. Let him feel at ease.”
“Yes, definitely.” Zhang Suns.h.i.+ asked a few more questions about Liu Yixiang and Xia Mingyuan’s recent situation, then seeing that Xia Yuqing was a little absent-minded, she smiled and very generously let her go.
“Ting Er may not have seen these two children for a long time and he is busy now. Qing Er, please take the two children to him.”
“Oh, won’t you come with us, Royal Mother?” Xia Yuqing was startled and asked with some suspicion.
Zhang Suns.h.i.+ covered her mouth and smiled: “No, no, no, I got a headache from these two little golden grandchildren this morning, so Ai Jia will take advantage of this moment to take a rest. You go ahead.”
Xia Yuqing nodded without doubting her: “Then, Royal Mother, you should rest first. Chen Qie will take the two children and return.”
“Go, go.” Zhang Suns.h.i.+ smiled and sent Xia Yuqing out of Cining Palace.
Xia Yuqing held her two babies tightly. She looked at the eldest baby held by Li Yuan a little bitterly. The child refused to let herself hold him and cried when she touched him. Hmph, he was a white-eyed wolf just like his father. Doesn’t he know who gave birth to him and was pregnant for ten months for him? Now he treats her like this?
Xia Yuqing burst into tears in her heart, she wished she could find a corner to draw circles on the ground. Her second baby actually liked Xia Yuqing. As long as she grabbed Xia Yuqing’s hair, she couldn’t stop giggling.
So a group of people rushed straight to the royal study room. When Xia Yuqing was standing in front of the royal study room, she was very excited: “Your Majesty, Chen Qie is here!” Then with a kick she opened the door, as a result……
Among the four people inside, besides Leng Ruofeng standing on the side with his neat clothes and cold eyes, the other two clung to Feng Tingye’s clothes tightly with their teeth and claws. Poor Feng Tingye’s expensive clothes were pulled like this, almost showing off his body.
Xia Yuqing stood at the door holding the two children and looked at the three people in their stance. After a while, she reacted and hurriedly stretched out her hands to cover the eyes of the two children, and exclaimed, “OMG, we didn’t see anything, please continue!”
“Hold on, come back!” Seeing Xia Yuqing preparing to apply oil to the soles of her feet and turn around and run, the three people in the room shouted out loud at the same time. This was a joke. If Xia Yuqing was allowed to leave like this, they dare to guarantee that tomorrow morning this palace and even the citizens of this country will have something they absolutely don’t want to hear… nonsensical rumors!
Xia Yuqing became stiff. She turned around with a forced smile. She looked at the few people stiffly: “You…huh, who are you? Where did these two middle-aged old uncles come from? Let go of the emperor!”
When Xia Yuqing just kicked open the door, she didn’t look at the few people clearly, but now that she looked back again, she found that the two people who were pulling Feng Tingye were actually sloppy uncles with big beards and disheveled clothes! What about the Gorgeous Grand Tutor? What about the shotacon Xiao Shangshu?
“Uncle? Who is an uncle? Girl, have you ever seen such a handsome, suave, and charming uncle?” Before Xia Yuqing spoke, one of the uncles was already yelling.
Then the other person also released Feng Tingye and snorted coldly: “n.o.ble people do forget things easily. Just going out of the palace like this, now Niang Niang can’t even recognize people anymore?”
“!” Xia Yuqing heard the protests of the two of them and dropped her jaw. With their bitter appearance, explosive hair and dismissive retort, why do they seem like…
“Gorgeous Tutor? Shotacon Shangshu?”
Yan Ran rolled his eyes to the sky. “Who else could it be?”
“How did you become like this?” Looking at their state, it looked like they hadn’t taken a bath in two to three days. Also, the flowing black beard, it looks like they haven’t shaved for months. They look more like prehistoric cavemen!!
“Xiao Shangshu…sir, did something go wrong in your martial arts training? It doesn’t matter if you suddenly change from a child to a young man, but now you suddenly became an uncle, then in a few days…”
As soon as Xia Yuqing said this, Shao Zitong’s face sank. His right hand patted the table beside him, and the solid wooden table had a hole created in an instant: “Who do you think caused us to be like this?”
” ……” Xia Yuqing looked at the memorials that fluttered from the table like a celestial flower.
She embarra.s.singly s.h.i.+fted her gaze to Feng Tingye’s body. Feng Tingye coughed lightly, ignoring the murderous eyes of the two, he looked at the bun in Xia Yuqing’s arms and the big bun next to her. His eyes lightened: “Ai Fei came to see me with the children? It must have been hard for you, come, let me hug my little prince. It’s almost been half a year, Zhen haven’t had time to hold him, just only a few times.”
“…” After hearing Feng Tingye’s words, the two hard-working young men who were planning to take advantage of their victory and chase after him, suddenly felt a little compa.s.sion. After all, the children were innocent. Compared to them, these two were just born and were immediately separated from their parents, they were a lot more pitiful indeed.
Listening to the movement behind, the corners of Feng Tingye’s lips twitched slightly. He winked at the big baby in his arms. The big baby bit his own chubby finger and glanced at Feng Tingye as if he understood something. Suddenly, his small mouth collapsed and he burst into tears: “Wooo…”
When the second baby next to him heard her brother crying, she was startled. Sucking on her little finger originally, her mouth flattened and she also started crying. In a moment, the Imperial Study Room became a place where two children were crying.
“Waaa…”
“Waaaa…”
“…”
“Oh, why are you crying? Are you hungry or did you pee your pants? Ai Fei, let’s hurry up and take the two children to Xiefang palace to coax them.” Feng Tingye watched the crowd and quickly took the opportunity to propose his idea.
Xia Yuqing was so distressed by the cries of the two children, so she had no time to take care of the others. Confused, she agreed and the group of people moved outside the Imperial Study Room as a matter of course.
The two in the room didn’t react until the cries of the two children drifted away and the door of the Imperial Study Room slammed shut. They snarled, “Feng Tingye, where are you going?”
Before the voice died, they heard a particularly unpleasant voice outside: “Zhen just returned to the palace and is eager to enjoy the joys of domestic bliss with my two children and my Ai Fei. My beloved officials, as the pillar of the country, please share my worries. I will read about the trivial matters of the government tomorrow. Work hard, my beloved officials!”
The implication was “this uncle is going back to accompany his wife and children, so please do another day of overtime. Fighting!”
Figh… fighting your *ss! Do you know how hard it is for us!?
“Feng Tingye, you come back for me right now!”
Xia Yuqing heard the roars of the two, shaking the earth from a distance, and couldn’t help feeling endless sympathy for them. It was so pitiful to meet such a master who likes to throw away their responsibilities! But soon Xia Yuqing had no time to pity others!
The two babies cried all the way. So, they were already tired of crying when they were carried back to Xiefang Palace. The second baby fell asleep in a daze sucking her little finger. Xia Yuqing didn’t dare to wake her, so she hugged her and placed her into the small cradle beside her to sleep. Naturally, the double-yolk egg, her big bun, could not leave his sister for half a step. Thus, Feng Tingye also placed him in. He happily hugged his sister and went to sleep.
Xia Yuqing looked at the two little buns that looked like little angels after they fell asleep. Leaning on the cradle, she smirked silently, unaware that danger had arrived, until…
“Ai Fei, you must be travel worn, we should sleep too.” The familiar hoa.r.s.e voice drifted into her ears along with the sudden heat from her waist.
Xia Yuqing slightly stunned: “Huh?!”
