Uncle Gu held Gu Ren's little hand: "Son, tell Dad, do you want to stretch your arms and yawn?"
Gu Ren slapped his father across the face.
"Hahahaha..." The emperor was amused by his action and picked up the child. "Brother Gu, it seems I am also blessed with a divine destiny. The little one likes it!"
Gu Ren rested his head on the emperor's shoulder, and sure enough, he saw his cheap second uncle smiling at him again. That smile was inexplicable and made him uneasy!
Instead of turning his head away guiltily as before, he opened his mouth and smiled, drool dripping from the corner of his mouth.
Gu Ren: "?"
You can even put me on Gu En's body!
Gu Shouxin raised an eyebrow, then wiped the corner of his mouth with his thumb.
Gu Ren's little face scrunched up, and then: "Wow!"
His loud cries echoed through the valley, startling the birds that were resting in the woods.
"Second son, are you scaring the child? You've made the child cry!" Grandpa Gu slapped Gu Shouxin on the back.
The emperor turned his head and said, "Don't cry, be good! Let's not look behind us, let's look ahead!"
After saying that, the emperor gave Gu Shouxin a disdainful look: "I used to be distant from the little one, but you've really got some nerve, second son, making the little one cry!"
Gu Ren slightly opened his eyes, gave Gu Shouxin a smug look, and then continued to cry.
The emperor turned him around, and only then did he stop crying.
Gu Shouxin: "!"
Uncle Gu looked at Gu Shouxin in surprise, then at his son, and said with a regretful expression, "Second son, you've made Enzi act like a mouse seeing a cat when he sees you. Well, Renren is only half a year old, and you've already made him act like he's seeing the King of Hell when he sees you."
After saying that, he patted the emperor on the shoulder: "Brother Ye, I misunderstood you just now. You are better than the second brother, at least you don't scare the child to tears."
The emperor nodded in deep agreement: "Brother Gu is absolutely right!"
Uncle Gu patted his arm and said, "Brother Ye, don't imitate the second brother. He speaks in such a flowery way that it gives me goosebumps. I'm afraid you'll blurt out some classical Chinese phrase next."
The emperor nodded: "When in Rome, do as the Romans do. I understand."
"Hahahaha!" Uncle Gu patted the emperor's back twice. "That's more like my brother!"
The emperor was caught off guard and almost lost his footing.
Grandpa Gu, Gu Shouxin, and Gu Renxin all trembled.
"By the way, Brother Ye, seeing how well my son Renzi and you get along, how about we arrange a marriage between our children? Do you have a newborn daughter?" Uncle Gu suggested, finding the Emperor increasingly pleasing to the eye.
Gu Ren couldn't help but blow a snot bubble. "You idiot, you probably want your old man to beat you to death!"
Grandpa Gu frowned, but refrained from speaking.
The emperor shook his head and said, "That won't do! Although your child's surname is Gu, the old man's surname is Ye. How can people with the same surname marry?"
Uncle Gu: "Your family is the Ye family in the capital, and my family is..."
Just then, Gu Xin suddenly cheered from the front: "Wow! Got it! Got it! Grandma Jiang, you're so amazing! Grandma, you're amazing too!"
Uncle Gu's attention was immediately drawn, and he quickly followed after her to see what great feat his mother had accomplished this time.
The emperor followed, carrying the child. His mother was tired of staying in the palace. In her youth, she could go hunting in the hunting grounds, but she hadn't been there since he ascended the throne. She must have caught something again.
Gu Ren wiped his nose, his eyes sparkling with excitement, eager to see what kind of commotion these two old ladies had gotten into.
