The journey here was urgent, but the return journey was a little slower, mainly because of the health of his wife and child. Yurong was fine, she had taken good care of herself during the confinement period and had been recovering basically. But Duzhi was too young, and Yurong was very worried. She even asked the wet nurse to ride with her so that she could take care of him at all times.
The nurse would avoid him only when Wei Xuanning got on the carriage. At this time, Yurong would put Duzhi in his arms and say, "You are his father, you should hug him too."
"Okay, I'll hold you for a while." Although Wei Xuanning was very reluctant in his heart, he always felt that he was still a beloved person, and this little guy had stolen a lot of Rongrong's attention.
But he is the father, so it is his right to hold the child.
The little baby was so soft, with eyes as big as grapes. Yurong couldn't help but give him a kiss, but she felt a little sorry: "The baby looks like me. It would be great if he looked like you."
Although he is a little boy, he looks like a little girl, and his eyelashes are especially long.
Wei Xuanning was quite happy, "Boys and girls with similar appearances will have great potential, and you are so pretty. We only have one son, and it would be great if he looks like you."
He was prepared to have only this one son, and fortunately it was a son, so he didn't want Yurong to have another child. Giving birth is painful not only for the person giving birth, but it is also painful for him to watch.
Yurong felt as if she was filled with happiness every day. She was reluctant to let Wei Xuanning hold the child, so she took Duzhi over and put her face against his, smiling: "Look how good Daddy is to us, Duzhi."
After that, she pinched the flesh around her waist and asked Wei Xuanning with concern: "Brother Xuanning, I have gained a lot of weight. Have I become ugly?"
"No, you were too frail before, but now it's just right. But you are not allowed to eat spicy oil anymore."
Yurong just laughed.
They passed through many places along the way and arrived in Kyoto in May. They hardly got sick during the journey, which made Wei Xuanning and Yurong feel relieved.
Old Madam Wei had already sent people to wait. Wei Xuanning asked Zhu Luo to arrange the matters of entering the mansion first. Yurong, still wearing her cloak, asked the wet nurse to wrap up her son, and they went to visit Old Madam Wei together.
At this time, Madam Wei could no longer sit still, but Chen persuaded her, "Madam, they will be here soon. I heard Zhu Luo say that Duzhi is a very good-looking baby."
"That's right. My brother and sister-in-law are both very good-looking. The children they give birth to will definitely be extraordinary." Yanjun was also looking forward to it.
They all looked at the door expectantly, and Zhou Ziying also forced a smile and looked at the door. It wasn't like she didn't have a son, so why should she look at other people's sons?
What's more, he is Yang Yurong's son. In her previous life, she harmed her cousin. In this life, she thought she had entered the Wei family. After all, she is the mother-in-law and she has to follow her own wishes. Unexpectedly, she would get the Prime Minister and Wei Xuanning so quickly, and even the old lady was pulled over.
A light blue skirt appeared in everyone's sight, and the person who came in was a young lady who seemed to have come from a misty water village. She just stood there with a charming smile, and everyone's attention was instantly captured.
She is the kind of person who, no matter where she stands, will always attract everyone's attention and cannot be ignored.
Yanjun hurried forward and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you cold?"
"I just took off my cloak." Yurong said with a smile.
She knelt down on the mat and bowed to the old lady and the eldest lady in turn. Then she was helped up by the servants. She took the baby from the wet nurse's arms and said to Madam Wei, "Grandma, this is how to pass it."
"Hurry, bring it over here for me to see."
Yurong came forward holding the child. Old Madam Wei lifted a corner of the swaddling clothes and took a look at the baby who was sleeping soundly and smacking his lips. She seemed to like the baby more and more.
"Let them see it too." Old Madam Wei was very happy, and said to Chen proudly, "Second son's wife, I guarantee you have never seen such a beautiful child."
Chen came over to take a look, but fearing she would wake the child, she whispered, "He looks like Yurong. He's so pretty, is he really a boy?"
Yurong couldn't help laughing: "Yes, I just think that he is a boy who looks too much like me."
But then I heard Madam Wei say: "You are still young, you don't know that boys and girls must have something to do, this is actually a good thing. Besides, boys will have edges and corners when they grow up, and then they will probably be more handsome than Xuan Ning."
"Brother, your looks are enough to make women all over the world fall in love with you. I think Duzhi is even better than you." Yanjun even wanted to hug him.
But Yurong took her arm and said to her, "I missed you when I was in Qingzhou. This time we brought back some small things along the way, all of which I carefully selected."
Seeing how close the two sisters-in-law were, Old Lady Wei couldn't help but say, "Take the child down first, and we can have a good talk."
"Yes." Yurong followed Madam Wei's arrangements, and Madam Wei felt more at ease. This Yang was much better than the first lady. Although Zhou Ziying also liked to bring the child here for fun, she was more afraid that someone else would snatch her child away. Madam Wei even felt that she was afraid of being with the child.
This is strange. She is old and there is no way she can take care of a baby.
Yang would not be on guard, but would let the baby rest in Ruixuan Hall with the wet nurse at ease.
After the child left, everyone dared to speak loudly, especially Chen, who held Yurong's hand tightly and said, "Although you were gone for only a little over a year, I felt like you had been gone for a long time. Fortunately, you came back, and I have someone to talk to in the future."
"I miss my second aunt, too. Brother Xuan Ning also said that you took care of him since he was a child. He is really grateful to you and grandmother for raising him so well. When I went to Qingzhou, everyone said that I found such a good husband."
She was just praising Wei Xuan Ning as usual, but she never thought that the four words "Brother Xuan Ning" were so sweet that even Old Madam Wei felt a little uncomfortable after hearing them. Yanjun blushed slightly, and Chen was frozen.
Although Wei Xuanning was indeed first-rate in their eyes, Old Madam Wei still knew Wei Xuanning very well. He was very rude to women. Even with Gao Shanru in the past, he would lose his temper if he was not satisfied.
He was even less patient with Princess Xin'an and was too lazy to even give her a perfunctory response.
Those people called him Young Master Wei or Young Master. Even Yurong used to call him Lang Jun or Young Master. It seems that the relationship between the two has been developing rapidly during this period.
Our relationship progressed so quickly even during my pregnancy.
Madam Wei was simply not listening, but she didn't want to bring it up either.
At this time, Yurong realized that she seemed to have let something slip. This brother Xuanning was fine in Qingzhou or in private, because Wei Xuanning often called her Rongrong or Rongbao, and they were used to it. Now that she was back home, she, who had always been cautious, actually called him by a nickname in front of her elders...
Help, she wanted to escape.
