"I'll take the child out to show the emperor first. You take a good rest. The kitchen will bring the food over soon. Eat something first. Don't be hungry. I'll be back soon." Mu Changqing said as he picked up his daughter, helped his wife lie down, and tucked the corner of the quilt for his wife.
"Okay, go quickly. Hold our daughter in your arms and be careful. Don't let her catch a cold." Feng Lingyue warned with a smile.
"Well~~ My dad is so nice, he loves his wife very much, he is really a perfect man."
The corners of Mu Changqing's lips curled up high, and he felt as proud as he could be.
"Of course, I'm well-known in this area for loving my wife."
"Brother, why did you come out just now? Everyone can't wait any longer." Mu Changyan complained as he looked at his brother who came out holding the child.
"The child is hungry. I'm feeding her. Why are you rushing her?" Mu Changqing glanced at his brother gently and walked towards the lobby first.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the child just woke up and was delayed for some time in feeding. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Mu Changqing apologized.
"It's okay, just hold it to me." Without waiting for Mu Changqing to finish speaking, the emperor hurriedly stood up and stretched out his hand towards Mu Changqing.
"Hahaha, what a great girl..." The emperor held the child in his arms and couldn't let go. He liked her more and more no matter how he looked at her.
"Is this the legendary emperor? He is indeed extraordinarily handsome, noble and elegant, but still a little bit inferior to my father." Mu Li was held in the emperor's arms and looked at him carefully.
…
Everyone in the Mu family looked at each other and saw disbelief in each other's eyes!
"Did you hear that?"
"The same to you?"
"I heard it too!"
“Huh…?”
"Was that my sister's voice just now?"
"It's really cute."
"Ahem..." Mu Changqing looked at everyone's surprised eyes and knew that everyone must be able to hear his daughter's thoughts just like him. He coughed lightly and gave a look to remind everyone not to say too much.
"Daddy, sister..." 7-year-old Mu Yun exclaimed in surprise and couldn't help shouting to his daddy.
"Xiao Yun, brother will take you to find mother." Mu Feng quickly covered his brother's hand as he was about to speak. After apologizing to the emperor and empress, he took his brother out of the hall.
"Xiao Yun, you also heard your sister's voice just now, right?" Mu Feng came to the backyard and saw that there was no one around, so he lowered his voice and asked.
"Yes, brother, I heard it." Mu Yun nodded.
"You are also surprised, right? But my sister is so smart when she was just born. If others find out that she is different from others, they will think she is a monster. My sister is very important to us. We must protect her and let her grow up healthy and safe." Mu Feng said firmly to his brother.
"I understand, brother. I won't tell anyone. I will protect my sister." Mu Yun said seriously.
"Okay, let's practice hard together and protect our sister." The two brothers promised solemnly.
"Your Majesty, stop smiling foolishly while holding the child. Tell us what name you are going to give the child. It's been the whole morning, and it's time for us to go back to the palace." The queen couldn't bear to watch the emperor smiling foolishly, and couldn't help but remind him.
"Oh, yes, I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it." The emperor held the child and thought for a while, "This child was born at the crack of dawn. You said it was inappropriate to name him 'Xi' before, so how about 'Xiao'? How about 'Mu Xiao'?" asked the emperor.
"Mu Xiao, Xiaoxiao, not bad either." The head of the Mu family nodded.
"Uncle Emperor, I have a name now. My name is Mu Li, not Mu Xiao." Mu Li made an "ah ah" sound and kept waving her little arms.
"Does she like this name? Look how happy the child is!" The emperor looked at the little person struggling in his arms and smiled happily.
"Ah... I don't like it, I don't like it, I want to call myself Mu Li." Mu Li protested loudly, but she was a baby and could only make "ah ah" sounds.
"Hahaha, look, she responded to me. What a smart child." The emperor laughed even louder.
"I think the child doesn't like it. She doesn't look happy." The queen looked at Mu Li, whose face was flushed, and said thoughtfully.
"Yes, yes, it's the beautiful queen who understands me, unlike the emperor uncle. I give you a thumbs up!" Mu Li exclaimed, looking at the queen with sparkling eyes.
"Your Majesty, look, she's not making a fuss anymore. I must be right." The queen said happily to the emperor as she looked at the quiet child.
"Is that so? Let me think about it again..." The emperor frowned and thought again.
"Oh, why is the emperor so stupid? He said I was born at dawn, he said the word Xi, he said the word Xiao, why didn't he say Li?" Mu Li couldn't help but complain in her heart.
"Puff..." Mu Changyan, who was drinking tea, couldn't help but spit out a mouthful when he heard his little niece complaining about the emperor's stupidity.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. My son is naughty and has disturbed you and the queen." The head of the Mu family glared at his youngest son and quickly apologized to the emperor.
"It's okay, we are all family, there's no need to be so formal." The emperor looked at his teacher and waved his hand quickly.
"Your Majesty, this child was born at dawn. Why not give him the name Li? Mu Li, what do you think?" The head of the Mu family said.
"Mu Li, this name is great! Why didn't I think of it?" The emperor repeated it several times, his eyes lighting up. "At first, I thought the name Li was a bit masculine, and it also sounds like 'divine', which doesn't have a good connotation. Now, with the surname Mu, Mu Li Mu Li, the homophony means 'not to separate', perfect!"
The emperor thought about it and agreed, and nodded.
"Huh? Uncle Emperor is also using puns?" Mu Li pricked up her ears. "But my name is Lihua's Li."
"For a girl, taking the name Li, which is like dawn, is indeed too masculine. It would be better to change it to Li, which is like pear blossom. The pear is as white as snow. Your Majesty, what do you think?" Old Lady Mu said lightly.
"The pear blossoms are pale white, the willows are deep green; when the catkins fly, the city is filled with blossoms. A single snow-covered tree by the eastern fence fills me with melancholy; life seems so clear and bright." The emperor recalled a poem he had read in his youth and murmured softly, "Yes, yes, let's call it the Pear in Pear Blossom."
"Wow... They are worthy of being my dear grandparents. They really understand me the best. Now my baby can rest assured." Mu Li yawned and closed her eyes.
