Chapter 110 Daily Life of Raising Children (Part 2): The Empress Dowager belongs to the Emperor, while the little sister belongs to them.
Mi Yao could sense that Xiao Chuan had become even more clingy to her after she gave birth.
Xiao Shan and the others could also sense this.
Xiao Shan and the others were happy to see this happen. Compared to fighting with their father for their mother, having their sister all to themselves would satisfy them more.
Having a younger sister who looks eight parts like her mother made Xiao Shan and the other two genuinely happy.
Before Mi Yao and Xiao Chuan had a biological child, Xiao Yi lived in a state of unease and fear.
Unlike his younger siblings, he was an adopted son and did not have the blood of the Xiao family. When he heard someone tell him that his father and mother had no biological children and that he had the opportunity to inherit the throne, he would not feel happy, but would only feel that he was unworthy.
Even though his mother noticed his fear and told him about the ancient system of abdication and the public ownership of the world, and that his father arranged for him to have more teachers and keep him by his side so that he could learn more, he still felt that he didn't deserve so much.
Xiao Fu's birth eased his guilt and made him feel more at ease.
The older he got, the clearer it became that he was different from his younger siblings, not because of blood ties, but because he had felt uneasy about everything in the world since he could remember.
Under the upbringing of his father and mother, fear and timidity had long since disappeared from his character, but his unease could not be eliminated.
He loved his mother's daughter, Fu'er. Her birth made him realize that his possession was no longer a distant dream. If his mother did not have any more princes, he would do his best to assist Xiao Fu and repay the kindness of his father and mother.
Compared to Xiao Yi, Xiao Shan and Xiao Liang's ideas were much simpler.
Xiao Shan didn't want to be the youngest and wanted to have younger brothers and sisters. Mi Yao wanted to have as many children as possible. As for those who tried to sow discord around her, saying that the new princess would take away her favor, she rolled her eyes at them and punished them severely.
If a child born to a stranger were to take away her and her brothers' affection, she would naturally be unhappy, but Xiao Fu was her mother's child, so how could it be the same?
She knew very well that it was she and her brothers who shared their mother's affection, not that her younger sister had stolen it from them.
"Second brother, you're really starting to look like an adult."
Xiao Shan dealt with the eunuch who stirred up trouble by beating him up and transferring him away. When he heard that Xiao Liang directly ordered the killing of four palace servants as a warning to others, Xiao Shan was not afraid. Instead, he said with envy.
Compared to her approach, Xiao Liang's actions would make those with ill intentions more obedient.
But she's already been transferred, and now it's not good to go back on your word and leave her to Xiao Liang to deal with.
Thinking about it, Xiao Shan couldn't help but sigh.
She was still a young lady with many flaws in her dealings with others, yet some court officials actually suggested that she should choose a husband for her—it was utterly absurd.
With a sigh, Xiao Shan saw Xiao Fu crawl to his side and threw the colorful ball in his hand. The ball flew out and drew a colorful arc, and Xiao Fu happily crawled down to catch it again.
"Why would Fu'er like playing this game?"
From the age of sixteen, Xiao Liang had to attend the morning court every day, just like his older brother. The difference was that after his brother finished the morning court, he would go to the cabinet to work without stopping, while Xiao Liang would leisurely eat snacks and sneak off to Ninghe Palace to pay his respects to his mother and play with his little sister.
Xiao Fu first learned to crawl, and he witnessed it with his own eyes. Seeing his chubby little sister with two little pigtails grin and show her baby teeth, from only being able to barely roll over to being able to crawl on the bed, he clapped and cheered excitedly.
Who knew that in just two days, the little sister's activity area changed from the soft couch to the floor covered with a cashmere carpet, and she crawled more than twice as fast. But the reason she was faster was that she wanted to go and fetch the ball.
He didn't want Xiao Fu to play this game, and as soon as he picked her up, she started crying loudly.
"Guess why?"
Xiao Shan whispered, and in order to make her second brother understand the specific reason, Xiao Fu tried to get closer to the ball again but failed to get the new colored ball she threw.
Seeing this, Xiao Fu's round, chubby face tilted slightly, and her almond-shaped eyes looked at her older brother and sister with a bewildered and innocent expression. Xiao Liang and Xiao Shan were almost unable to resist giving her a colorful ball because of her gaze.
Fortunately, Xiao Fu was quick-witted and didn't get stuck in one place. Or rather, she knew what her older brother and sister wanted to see. The next moment, she changed the direction she was crawling and crawled towards the left hall. As she approached the hall, a colorful streak flashed and a colorful ball was thrown out from inside.
Seeing this, Xiao Liang understood everything.
If it was official business that required discussion with ministers, the Emperor would review memorials in Ninghe Palace.
At this time, he would usually pester his mother to accompany him.
So the reason why Fu'er would carry the ball around and crawl around was because her father didn't want her to disturb his time alone with his mother.
Xiao Liang glanced at Fu'er, who was happily drooling as she bit into a small embroidered ball.
Xiao Liang: ...
Fortunately, the little sister has her older brothers and sisters.
The Empress Dowager belongs to the Emperor, while the younger sister belongs to them.
