Xuan Ling said nothing, just as he thought.

Sheng Xiyan was shocked when she heard this. What does that mean? I gave birth to a fool?

Before she finished her words, Yu Chen suddenly blew out a bubble, and his chubby little hand accurately grasped her fingertips.

I'm not a fool, nor am I dumb!

Xuan Ling took the rattle and shook it to see if there was anything wrong with his ears.

Yu Chen put his little hands to his ears and frowned.

"Well, it proves that my ears are working well." Xuan Ling put down the rattle.

Turning around, she saw Sheng Xiyan crying, "Your Majesty, what should we do? Is Chenchen dumb or a fool... Wuuuuuu... No wonder he won't come out of my belly. He just doesn't have the ability to come out..."

Xuan Ling quickly hugged her and said, "Yanyan, don't worry. Maybe Chenchen just didn't make any sound, but he's not mute..."

Oh, yes, Sheng Xiyan quickly sat up. She was a doctor, so why was she so scared now?

She put her hand on Yu Chen's side and tickled him to see if he would smile. Yu Chen just twisted his chubby body without making any sound.

"Ah, what should I do? I'm not even laughing. I'm really dumb... Woo woo woo..." Sheng Xiyan burst into tears again in Xuan Ling's arms.

Xuan Ling comforted him, "Maybe Chenchen doesn't have any ticklish spots. Look at his face. Although he doesn't show much expression, he looks very wise and foolish. It's okay. Let's not scare ourselves."

Sheng Xiyan was crying so hard that her eyes were filled with tears, and her voice was getting louder and louder. Yu Yan and Le Zhao beside her also started crying. The three of them wailed so hard that the earth was shaking.

Xuan Ling really felt sorry for Sheng Xiyan. It was the first time that a child's noise had given him a headache. Even reviewing dozens of kilograms of memorials was not as troublesome as this.

He hardened his heart, reached out his hand and secretly placed it on the chubby boy's leg, staring at Yu Chen with his phoenix eyes, and silently said: Chenchen, father will pinch you, and if it hurts, just cry out, okay?

Yu Chen received the signal and quickly retracted his lotus root legs. "Bad guy! Don't pinch me!"

Xuan Ling reached forward again, but his chubby little legs couldn't resist the big hand. As soon as he grabbed it, Yu Chen immediately burst into tears, "Waaaaa! Waaaa!"

Mother, help me...

All three children were crying. Sheng Xiyan didn't react. Xuan Ling was overjoyed and pulled her to his side. "Yanyan, listen quickly! Chenchen is not mute. He's crying!"

"Really? Isn't it Yanyan who is crying?" Sheng Xiyan asked sobbingly, her eyes swollen like peaches.

Xuan Ling picked up Yu Chen and said, "Be good, cry louder so your mother can hear it!"

Where can I find a father like this!!! Let me cry louder. I don’t want to cry, I’m just acting along, mainly because I’m afraid of being abused by you…

"Wow wow wow! Wow wow wow wow!!!"

"Yanyan, listen, it's Chenchen crying. Look, his face is red from crying." Xuan Lingchunshan smiled, as if what he heard was not crying, but the cheerful voice of a child.

Sheng Xiyan picked up Yu Chen and kissed him fiercely, choking with sobs as she said, "Thank you, baby. Thank you for not being mute. Mother is so happy."

Yu Chen was moved. My mother actually thanked me. I was so touched... These tears were worth it.

Then, Sheng Xiyan's face was filled with sadness again and she sighed.

Xuan Ling coaxed Yu Yan to sleep, handed him to the wet nurse, and then held Le Zhao in his arms and rocked him to comfort him.

"Yanyan, what's wrong with you? You're still not happy."

Sheng Xiyan asked in a low voice: "Xuanlang, you think Chenchen is not a fool? Otherwise, why is he always so serious?"

Yu Chen glared at me and asked, "Who said I'm a fool?"

"This... won't happen." Xuan Ling said with a worried look in his heart. He also didn't want to have a stupid son.

He took out a memorial and held it in front of Yu Chen, who stretched out his little hand to grab it.

"Yanyan, look, Chenchen knows how to catch things. There's no way he has an intellectual problem. He's very smart!"

Sheng Xiyan smiled through her tears, picked up Yu Chen and kissed him madly, "Thank you, baby. Now mother is relieved."

Yu Chen was helpless. Performing was really tiring, but seeing his father and mother so happy, he was happy too.

The days passed quickly. In a blink of an eye, Sheng Xiyan had been in confinement for ten days. Xuan Ling also said goodbye to his vacation and attended the morning court as usual to handle state affairs and resumed his busy life.

That day, at noon, Xuan Ling had just returned from the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

As soon as I entered the Yangxin Palace, I heard Eunuch Fu report, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has come to see the two princes and the princess."

Xuan Ling said, "Go to the West Warm Pavilion and bring the two princes and princess over. Be careful to wrap them in blankets and keep them out of the wind. It's very windy today."

He walked into the back hall and saw Sheng Xiyan had just woken up from a nap. Unlike the previous few days, she did not let her hair down today. Instead, she had her hair in a bun and wore a golden hairpin.

She wore a pomegranate skirt and a phoenix-shaped peony outer garment embroidered with gold thread.

"Yanyan, you're still in confinement, why are you dressed up today?"

Sheng Xiyan touched her hair bun and said with a seductive look, "If I don't dress up, what if the emperor falls in love with someone else?"

"Nonsense, I'm only attracted to you."

Xuan Ling sat down and smelled the tuberose she had used. "It smells so good! I haven't used tuberose since you got pregnant, and I haven't smelled it for a long time."

He wrapped her in a quilt and carried her out, "Mother, come and see the children. I'll carry you to sit on the soft couch in the outer hall."
