Chapter 503 Little Qing'er is Lost
Du Wanchun tucked the blankets around Xiao Mianmian and Xiao Feifei, then walked to his side and said, "Husband, I'll just have some pancakes; you don't need to go to the kitchen..."
Before she could finish speaking, Zhou Ruiyuan reached out his long, slender hand, picked up his chopsticks, and held a small meatball to her lips. "Try it."
Du Wanchun took a bite of the meat he offered, and it tasted really good; Zhou Ruiyuan's cooking skills were getting better and better.
To outsiders, who would guess that this young man is the Crown Prince, who has lived a life of luxury since childhood?
Du Wanchun also picked up her chopsticks and placed a meatball on his plate, handing it to him, saying, "Husband, you should eat too."
Zhou Ruiyuan gently bit the meatball she had picked up, a slight smile playing on his lips, unable to hide the joy in his heart.
He raised his hand and put some more food into Du Wanchun's bowl, then said, "You'll have to take care of the children on this journey, it must be too tiring. Eat more. When we get to the capital, I'll find a wet nurse for Xiao Feifei."
Speaking of wet nurses, Zhou Ruiyuan suddenly remembered something and glanced at the sleeping little Mianmian on the bed. "The king of the Northern Di Kingdom sent me two messages."
"You mean Brother Wei and Madam Wu?" Du Wanchun asked, raising her eyes.
Zhou Ruiyuan nodded slightly, "That's right, Madam Wu gave birth to the third prince of the Northern Di Kingdom a few days ago."
Du Wanchun smiled and said, "That's great news! Little Qing'er is going to have a little brother again."
Zhou Ruiyuan's gaze darkened slightly as he continued, "There's another piece of news: Xiao Qing'er went missing two months ago."
"What?" Du Wanchun was shocked; this was a big deal.
She quickly turned around to look at Xiao Mianmian behind her, afraid of waking her up.
Zhou Ruiyuan said slowly, "Yes, the two of them are extremely anxious right now. They have sent many people to search for him and asked us to keep an eye out for whether he will come looking for Xiaomianmian."
Du Wanchun asked curiously, "Xiao Qing'er isn't a reckless person, so why did he suddenly run away from home?"
Zhou Ruiyuan replied, "The letter from the King of Beidi did not explicitly state this, but it did mention that Xiao Qing'er was unhappy with the marriage."
Du Wanchun suddenly realized and sighed, "Xiao Qing'er is still young, why do they have to arrange a marriage for him so early?"
Zhou Ruiyuan served her a bowl of soup and continued, "The King of Beidi is not yet firmly in his position. He probably wants to stabilize his position through marriage. If he can marry off his eldest son, Xiao Qing'er, as soon as possible, he can win over some powerful ministers sooner."
"So this is the imperial family?" Du Wanchun stared intently at Zhou Ruiyuan.
Zhou Ruiyuan knew what her gaze meant, and looked at Xiao Mianmian and Xiao Feifei, saying, "Wanchun, if I have to sacrifice my children's marriages to secure this position, why should I sit here?"
He held her hand tightly, "I just want you and the child to live a carefree life; I'll take care of everything else."
Du Wanchun grasped his hand in return and smiled, "Silly boy, we are husband and wife. If anything happens, I will bear it with you."
Zhou Ruiyuan gazed intently at her delicate face. Even though she was already a mother of four, her face still retained a touch of childishness.
She looked so beautiful that one wanted to hold her in their arms at all times.
Yet her eyes held such unwavering determination, possessing a strength that could not be underestimated.
He cherished her and respected her even more.
Zhou Ruiyuan gently pulled her into his arms, his gaze deep and intense.
The sound of cicadas chirping outside the window brought liveliness to the quiet night; starting tomorrow, they would be living in the capital.
