Feng Yinzhen was reluctant but still kept a smile on his face as he put Feng Wanwan into Nian Gengyao's arms.
After all, he has always regarded Nian Gengyao as his elder brother, and his brother has just recovered the Western Frontier for him, which not only helped him consolidate his rule, but also helped him further concentrate imperial power.
This is his elder brother in the true sense. How could he not agree if his elder brother wanted to hug his little girl?
Besides, his little girl is also his eldest brother's niece. If his eldest brother wants to hold his niece, there is no reason for him to refuse.
But when he saw Feng Wanwan smiling in Nian Gengyao's arms with her eyes curved and her dimples round, he felt an indescribable sadness in his heart.
"General, you must be very tired after a bumpy ride on horseback and a long journey by boat and carriage. Why don't you put Wanwan down and let her rest for a while?
If you don't drink the tea now, it will get cold."
"No problem. Although the journey was long, I did take breaks along the way, so I wasn't tired. Moreover, the emperor was considerate and gave me a feast before entering the city. I ate until I was full and not thirsty at all."
Nian Gengyao was talking, but his eyes would never leave the little baby in his arms.
The tough face of the battle-hardened man, which was always filled with a murderous aura, now had a gentle and doting look on it.
The two iron arms held Feng Wanwan as if she were a fragile and precious treasure, each revealing their cherishment and love.
When I saw him from a distance just now, I felt that this child's features and eyebrows were as cute and adorable as my younger sister's, as if they were carved from the same mold.
Now, holding her in his arms, looking at the child's bright smile and the sweet milky fragrance emanating from her body, his heart was moved again, and he couldn't help but recall the first time he held his little sister in his arms when he was a child.
He is the eldest son in the family and was destined to shoulder the family's responsibilities from birth, so his father trained him to be a capable man. From childhood to adulthood, he gave people the impression of being cold, serious and never smiling.
Later, his mother gave birth to a younger brother. He was just as serious and cold to his younger brother, and had strict demands on him, so much so that his younger brother secretly complained that he had an icy face and suspected that he could not laugh at all.
It was not until that spring that my mother gave birth to her last child, my younger sister.
He had already joined the military at that time and was sent out on errands. It was also spring when he first saw his little sister. She was about two or three months old, with a sweet fragrance all over her body. She opened her arms towards him and smiled with her eyes curved.
He was just like he is now, he just felt his heart melted, as happy as if he had eaten candy.
This girl is so cute, just like my little sister back then.
At this moment, all the civil and military officials in the court were looking at the gentle and doting smile on the face of the war god general who had just returned from the battlefield, and were whispering about it.
"How rare! General Nian, who is always known as the cold-faced general, can actually laugh?"
"That's right. As long as I can remember, this great general has always had a sullen face, as if everyone owes him a lot of money. Not to mention us, even his own son has never seen him smile."
"Ha! I almost thought he had a facial problem and wanted to recommend him an old Chinese doctor who's good with acupuncture. Now it seems I'm glad I didn't recommend him. It turns out he's not sick."
Hearing these words, Nian Gengyao snorted inwardly: "You old men, you stinking scholars, you scumbags, I feel choked up just by looking at you. How can I possibly laugh? I've already shown my good temper by not beating you up."
If you could be as cute as my little niece and have such a unique connection with this general, this general wouldn't mind smiling at you.
But do you have it?
You don't!
While Nian Gengyao was complaining in his heart, he raised his arms higher and cherished the little baby in his arms even more.
My uncle's embrace is even warmer than I imagined. It's so comfortable.
[And closer, my uncle is even more handsome. He's so brave and powerful, so fearsome! He's truly the hero who pacified the Western Frontier!]
[I really admire my uncle, but... why are his arms so stiff, and he's holding me so far away? Does he dislike my drooling? But I'm still a little baby, and I can't control my drooling at this stage...]
Ever since she entered Nian Gengyao's arms, Feng Wanwan's voice has never stopped, chattering the whole time, but at the end she suddenly began to suspect that she was disliked by her uncle.
There was a misunderstanding.
Nian Gengyao and Feng Yinzhen had this thought at the same time.
Feng Yinzhen immediately stood up, stretched out his hands towards Feng Wanwan in Nian Gengyao's arms again, and said with a smile.
"Wanwan is drooling again. Please don't stain the general's clothes. Let me hold her."
"I'm a soldier who fought on the frontier battlefield. I never care whether my clothes are dirty or not. But the emperor's robe is precious. Don't let Wanwan's saliva stain it. I'll hold her."
Unexpectedly, before Feng Yinzhen's hand could touch Feng Wanwan, Nian Gengyao hugged Feng Wanwan into his arms.
As a warrior, he didn't have the habit of carrying a handkerchief with him, so he tore off a piece of soft fabric from his inner lapel and carefully wiped the saliva from the corner of Feng Wanwan's lips, his eyes full of doting.
"When my little sister was this old, she also loved to drool, and I liked to wipe it for her. Babies have very delicate skin, so I have to be extra careful when wiping drool.
Your Majesty, please rest assured. I have accumulated experience in taking care of my younger sister and can take good care of the little princess.
