Chapter 641 - 641. The Cute Baby
In Cining Palace, Yun’er had climbed onto the artificial mountain rock. She was not afraid and still stood on it, wanting to jump down.
Ziqi stood under the rockery and looked at his sister in admiration. His sister was so incredible that he didn’t dare to climb up!
“Princess, princess, come down quickly. You scared this old servant to death.”
The eunuch was frightened. If the princess fell from above, they would lose their heads even if injured. If they didn’t take good care of the children, they would be useless. If they were useless, they would be chased out of the palace.
Yun’ er was wearing a pink dress and had two small hairpins on her head. The big eyes on her chubby little face were very similar to Su Qing’s, but Su Qing’s eyes were always cold, while Yun’er always smiled. She cried very quickly since she was born. She laughed when she was eating, when she was playing, and even when she was sleeping.
Xiao Zeyu especially doted on this little girl. As for his son, he ignored him so much.
Ziqi was like a stupid little bear. He looked like his father but was not as powerful as him. He was simple-minded and had no temper at all. His personality was outstanding.
But he was stupid. He couldn’t catch up with his sister when he ran, couldn’t snatch food from his sister, didn’t dare to climb high, didn’t dare to go into the water, and wanted toys that weren’t dangerous. When he saw knives and guns, he avoided them.
Yun’er was different. She was especially adventurous. She would climb into the pond when she first learned how to climb. When she first learned to walk, she climbed as high as she could. She would grab at any knife or spear she saw. Xiao Zeyu was so scared that he ordered Ci Ning Palace not to have any knives, spears, or sharp objects.
The eunuch and palace maid didn’t look after her properly, and the little princess climbed up the fake mountain and even jumped down. This was going to hurt her.
“Yun’er, you’re being naughty again.”
Little Chen followed his mother to Cining Palace to visit his nephew and niece. Ever since he became an uncle, Little Chen has been different from before. He put on the airs of an uncle like a little adult and often lectured Yun’ er with his hands behind his back. He liked the silly Ziqi because he always chased after him.
“Yun’er, don’t move. Don’t move.”
Yang Ruxue’s heart almost stopped beating when she entered the Cinning Palace. She hurriedly ordered the guards to carry the princess down.
However, before the guards could go up the rockery, Yun’er jumped down herself. Yang Ruxue and the old eunuchs were so frightened that they almost fainted.
Fortunately, the guard caught Yun’er, or she would have been fractured.
“Hehehe, Grandmother.”
Yun ‘er felt it was fun to be carried down from the air by the guard. She smiled like a silver bell. When she saw Yang Ruxue, the little guy stretched out her chubby hands and asked her to hug her.
Yang Ruxue was so scared that her legs went weak. How could she still have the strength to hold her?
“Yun’er, you’re not obedient?”
Little Chen frowned and lectured his niece. Yun’er pouted and put her chubby little fingers together. She muttered softly,
“It was you who asked me to come down.”
Yang Ruxue clutched her chest and looked at Yun’er worriedly. Even her daughter was not so naughty when she was young! She suspected that Yun’er and Ziqi had switched genders.
Ziqi was quiet and obedient. Grandpa liked him the most. He told him to read when he had nothing to do. The little guy was very focused on his studies. He was brilliant and had a photographic memory. He could remember things after being taught once. He could recite the Three Character Sutra as soon as he opened his mouth. After hearing Yang Ruxue recite the Diamond Sutra once, the little guy memorized it. Su Hanxuan liked him very much. He said that he was a child prodigy and that he was very wise.
Yun’er was not like a girl at all. She went up to the house and down the river, chasing butterflies, dragonflies, and birds. She was never obedient. She was too energetic. Other than sleeping, she could only be quiet for a while.
However, she had a sweet mouth and liked to smile. Her skin was fair and clean, and her big, velvety eyes curved into crescent moons when she smiled. Her body was so chubby that it made people like her.
Although Yang Ruxue was troubled by her granddaughter’s friskiness, she liked her. When she saw Yun’er, she felt like she was looking at Su Qing when she was young.
Yang Ruxue had transferred the maternal love that had been absent for more than ten years to her granddaughter. She missed her every day she did not see her.
“Yun’er, promise Grandma you won’t climb to such a high place again.”
Yang Ruxue squatted down to remove the grass from Yun’er’s hair and gently lectured her.
“Alright, Yun’er agrees.”
Yun’er’s diction was very clear. Usually, two-year-old children would still be unclear when they spoke, but she was different. From the moment she learned to speak, her diction was especially clear.
“Good girl.”
Yang Ruxue couldn’t help but kiss her granddaughter. When this child smiled, her worries disappeared instantly. She felt that the world was beautiful.
“Grandmother, when is mother coming back? Yun’er misses her.”
Yun’er leaned into Yang Ruxue’s arms and pouted.
“If Yun’er is obedient, your mother can return quickly. If Yun’er is naughty and disobedient, your mother will not be willing to come back.”
Yang Ruxue took the opportunity to educate Yun’er. This child had liked Su Qing since she was young. She looked at her mother with admiration and adoration. She loved to run behind her mother.
“Yun’er, be obedient.”
Yun’er quickly promised. Her childish voice was severe, coupled with her serious expression; Yang Ruxue was very fond of her. She kissed her repeatedly, and her face was smiling like a flower.
“Grandmother, where’s Panyun’er?”
Ziqi whispered to her uncle, Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen nodded thoughtfully.
“My mother always smiles like this when she lies.”
Yang Ruxue looked at the two children with faces full of black lines. How could they say that? Did she look like a liar?
“Haha, Yun’er, I heard you’re being naughty again?”
Qin Feng laughed loudly as he walked into Cining Palace. Xiao Zeyu was not in the capital, so he and Su Hanxuan had to shoulder the heavy burden of handling state affairs. They were swamped every day, but after they were done, the old master would come to see his great-grandchildren.
It was a rare kiss between two generations, and he missed it very much after not seeing it for a while.
“Great Ancestor.”
When Ziqi saw him come, he gave Qin Feng a big bow like a miniature adult. His small posture was very proper, and he was incredibly polite.
Yun’ er was different from her brother. When she saw that Taizu had arrived, she ran to him with her chubby legs and hugged his leg. She raised her tiny face and smiled sweetly as she shouted,
“Great Ancestor.”
“Haha, did you make a mistake again?”
Qin Feng bent down and picked up his great-granddaughter. The old man’s face was flushed as he asked Yun’ er with a smile.
“Yun’er is imitating Mother. Mother flew down from there.”
Yun’ er pointed at the fake mountain. Su Qing had made a kite for the two children and brought them to the yard to play with it. However, a gust of wind blew, and the kite string broke and fell on the fake mountain.
Su Qing flew up to take the kite and gently landed on the ground. Yun’ er remembered that her mother jumped from the fake mountain like a bird.
She wanted to fly like her mother!
‘Qing’er, in the future, must be careful in front of the children.’
Yang Ruxue only realized that the culprit was her daughter after hearing that. She was so angry that she muttered in her heart and didn’t dare to say it out loud, afraid that Qin Feng would blame Su Qing.
“There’s no need to pay attention. If Yun’er can be as powerful as her mother, that would be fine!”
Qin Feng smiled and said to Yang Ruxue,
“Children should be lively. Now is the time to be carefree. Why set rules for children and restrict their nature?”
“Old Master, do you know when Qing’er and Shuisheng will return?”
