Ning Chenyi sat there, exuding an indescribable sense of pride.
He slightly raised his chin, with an almost childish desire to show off, and emphasized the word "we," making each syllable seem to be squeezed out from between his teeth, and deliberately dragging it out.
It was as if he wanted every corner and every person present to clearly feel the unique, blood-related intimacy between him and the Empress.
The two words echoed in the silent palace, like a heavy hammer blow striking the peaceful atmosphere, stirring up ripples that were difficult to quell.
Qin Qianlu was completely unprepared. Ning Chenyi's sudden and forceful squeeze caused her to lose her balance and fall forward.
In her panic, she instinctively waved her arms, trying to grab onto something to steady herself. She staggered several steps before finally managing to stand firmly to the side.
Her hair was a little messy, with a few stray strands falling beside her cheeks, and her eyes still held the panic and confusion caused by the sudden attack.
My mind felt as if it were shrouded in a fog, completely frozen, and I couldn't understand why the Emperor would suddenly do such a thing.
It took Qin Qianluo a while to gradually come to her senses. She took a deep breath, raised her hand to tidy her slightly messy hair, and subconsciously looked up.
With that glance, she was caught completely off guard and ran straight into Ning Chenyi's smug gaze, which was as proud as a peacock spreading its tail feathers.
At that moment, time seemed to freeze. Qin Qianluo felt that all the sounds around her had disappeared, leaving only the pounding of her own heart.
In an instant, she understood everything, her heart filled with absurdity and helplessness.
Qin Qianlu called out to Feng Qingyun, her tone full of urgent and exasperated complaints: "Yunbao, the Emperor's behavior today is hardly like a normal celebration of twins."
He was clearly so happy that he completely lost his mind and became totally disoriented.
The way he acted just now was exactly like an extremely childish and competitive kid. He was practically jumping in front of me and yelling that he had a child while I didn't.
Isn't this blatantly showing off their relationship in front of me and trying to make me feel bad?
Feng Qingyun watched this scene in an almost frozen state, the light around her flickering slightly due to her extreme shock.
Her eyes were wide open, like two glass marbles that might fall at any moment, filled with disbelief.
His mouth was in an exaggerated "O" shape, as if it were being stretched open by an invisible force, frozen in this dumbfounded and comical state.
The internal program chip was running at an overclocked speed, with faint electrical noises emanating from within, yet it still couldn't decipher the bizarre scene before it.
The emperor has always been calm and composed in the face of the power struggles between various factions in the imperial court, and he has always been able to talk and laugh with ease. He has always shown wisdom and decisiveness in making decisions on important matters of state.
Why is it that as soon as I step into this harem, it's as if I've been under a strange spell, making me do such incomprehensible and baffling things?
Immersed in the intense pleasure of showing off, the emperor was eagerly preparing to further display his pride and joy at becoming a father for the first time.
With a bright, almost blinding smile on his face, he leaned forward slightly, wanting to get even closer to the Empress and Qin Qianluo to share more of their joy and pride in becoming parents.
However, he heard the torrent of crazy complaints surging in Qin Qianluo's heart.
Those blunt and sharp words, like shards of ice, pierced his consciousness without warning.
These thoughts were like a bucket of cold water drawn from the coldest place, poured over his head and instantly extinguishing his enthusiasm and pride.
The previously unrestrained and smug expression on his face, as bright as the sun, froze in an instant, as if time had stood still.
The exaggerated upward curve of his lips became extremely unnatural, his muscles twitching slightly as if being pulled by an invisible and powerful force, making him appear distorted and comical.
He felt as if he had been frozen in place, his feet rooted to the spot, his mind completely blank.
All thoughts came to an abrupt halt in that instant, and his eyes were filled with embarrassment.
For a moment, I was completely at a loss for how to react, and could only sit there blankly, letting the awkward atmosphere engulf me like a tide.
Empress Xiao Wanxi, a woman who knew the Emperor's temperament perfectly, lay quietly in bed, taking in everything.
A fleeting, almost imperceptible smile flickered in her eyes, as clear as autumn water, like a shooting star in the night sky, easily missed if one wasn't paying attention.
In her view, the way the Emperor acted jealous and eager to assert his dominance in front of her and Qin Qianluo had shed his usual majesty and solemnity.
He resembled a naive and attention-seeking teenager, exuding childlike charm that made him incredibly cute and interesting.
She gently extended her fair, jade-like hand, as if sculpted from mutton fat, with a faint pink tinge at the fingertips and neatly trimmed nails, exuding an exquisite charm.
The movements were gentle, with a touch of intimacy and comfort. She patted the Emperor's hand with a smile, the delicate touch like the softest breeze in spring.
This slap seemed to convey a thousand words, as if whispering: "Look at you, you are the ruler of a country, yet you are still like an ignorant child, so competitive."
Then, with graceful poise, she turned slightly to the side, her figure swaying like a lily in the wind, elegant and captivating.
He nodded slightly to the wet nurse waiting to the side, the nod being just right, neither losing the dignity of royalty nor showing kindness.
