Before Su Wanyan could answer, Yu Nanqing was already in front of her, grabbing Yu Yunchen by the back of his collar and lifting him up, his face dark: "Dare to disturb your mother's peace, your crime is doubled!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
"Ahhh~ Mother~" Yu Yunchen cried out, reaching out his hands, his eyes brimming with tears as he rushed toward Su Wanyan.
Su Wanyan smiled with her eyes narrowed, and even waved to him, mouthing, "Good luck..."
"Ahhhhh~" Yu Yunchen screamed even louder.
Huang Ye couldn't help but cover her mouth upon seeing this: "The young master is really something. He knows that the Empress will not save him, but he still comes to the Empress to make a fuss every time he gets into trouble."
Su Wanyan put down the letter in her hand and asked curiously, "What did Chen'er do today?"
The nanny, who was already prepared, hurriedly reported: "I heard that when Young Master Xiao from the city invited the young master to go see the horses, he deliberately compared the young master to a short horse. The young master got angry and beat Young Master Xiao up and burned down the horse farm. It happened this morning."
"..." Su Wanyan was speechless: "He deserves to be hit."
After a moment of silence, he added, "If you're going to take revenge, at least do it discreetly. You deserve to be beaten."
"Your Majesty!" Qiu Ye called out helplessly.
Su Wanyan pouted and said, "Okay, okay."
It's not that Su Wanyan thinks too highly of herself, but knowing full well that Yu Yunchen is the heir of Prince Gong, she still dares to insult him. She clearly needs to be taught a lesson.
Qiu Ye said sadly, "The young master is always causing trouble. Today he rips off someone's roof, tomorrow he steals someone's chicken. He just apologizes to someone, and then he pushes someone into the water. But the young master is young and can't hold grudges. Now people in the city avoid him when they see him. How can he be as mature and steady as the prince and empress?"
“I disagree with what you’re saying,” Huang Ye retorted. “The young master seems to cause trouble every day, but in reality, he knows everything he does. He tore down someone’s roof because it was old and leaking. He could just pay for the repairs. The chicken was half dead, and he had to pay for a replacement after stealing it. He pushed someone into the water because they were bullying others first. In my opinion, there must be a reason why the young master set fire to someone’s horse farm this time, which made him very angry.”
“We can’t keep making such a fuss.” Qiu Ye’s expression fell. “Think about when the young prince was first born, how adorable he was, so tiny and cute. Now…”
How come he didn't inherit either the prince's or empress's temperament? He's too naughty now, what will he be like when he grows up?
As they were chatting, the wet nurse came over carrying a crying baby: "Your Highness, the little princess has woken up and is crying for you."
The wet nurse was holding a child with her hair styled in two buns. The child's large eyes were brimming with tears from crying, and upon seeing Su Wanyan, she seemed even more aggrieved, pouting and preparing to cry again: "Mother~"
Yu Muxi is Yu Nanqing and Su Wanyan's second child, a baby girl, who just turned two years old this year.
Su Wanyan gently hugged her and patted her back to comfort her, "Mommy's here, don't cry, okay? Mommy will ask the kitchen to make you some milk pudding, alright?"
Yu Muxi, who was about to cry, quickly swallowed back her sobs and nodded with a pitiful yet adorable expression, "Mmm~"
When Qiuye saw the little princess, her worries vanished. She patted her chest in relief, thinking that it was good to have the little princess. She was a quiet girl and would never be as naughty as the prince when she grew up.
In October of the fifteenth year of the Mingzhi reign, Su Wanyan, aged twenty-seven, gave birth to her third child, and the Prince Gong's Mansion was blessed with another son.
When Yu Yunchen and Yu Muxi were born, the Prince Gong's Mansion held a three-day banquet in the city, so this pregnancy was no exception. Hundreds of people from the Prince Gong's Mansion were already prepared.
The day after the birth of the third young master, the gate of Prince Gong's Mansion was bustling with people. As always, there were many people who came to Prince Gong's Mansion to give gifts and congratulate him, and the people from the city who came to eat the banquet consciously left two coins as gifts.
The tedious tasks were all handed over to the steward of the Prince's mansion.
Yu Nanqing stayed by Su Wanyan's bedside, carefully feeding her baby food.
However, when he scooped a small amount of the soup from the bowl with a spoon, blew on it, and then put it into Su Wanyan's mouth, Su Wanyan sat on the bed and looked at him speechlessly: "Can you scoop a bigger spoonful?"
She frowned and held out her hand: "I can do it myself!"
Yu Nanqing immediately moved the bowl away: "No, it's hot. Besides, you just gave birth, and you're currently deficient in qi and blood. You can't do heavy work!"
When Yu Nanqing said this, she felt quite sweet. He thought that taking a small bite was a consideration for her health. But when she gave birth to Yu Muxi, Su Wanyan was exhausted and hungry and just wanted to eat her fill as soon as possible.
Now, in Su Wanyan's eyes, Yu Nanqing's actions were just dawdling and being pretentious. She just wanted to eat by herself!
"Good girl." Everyone says that emotions fluctuate greatly after childbirth, so Yu Nanqing took even better care of her, holding the spoon to her lips and coaxing her like a child: "Ah~"
"..." Su Wanyan had no choice but to go along with him and eat one bite at a time.
After finishing a bowl of the soup, Su Wanyan made a surprising statement: "I want a fourth one."
With a clatter, Yu Nanqing almost dropped the bowl in her hand, and hesitated before speaking, "Yan'er... I think... three is enough..."
Su Wanyan's first pregnancy terrified him; the bloody scene was something he never wanted to experience again.
Who would have thought that right after giving birth, Su Wanyan would say she wanted to have two children.
Unable to resist, she became pregnant with her second child with trepidation. After Xixi was born, Yu Nanqing thought she had finally completed her mission, but little did she expect that her third child would just pop out of her mouth.
To be honest, his heart couldn't handle such stimulation. Fortunately, he had experience from his first two pregnancies and was able to take care of her with ease. He thought that three children were enough and she probably wouldn't have any more thoughts about it.
Who would have thought... that it would happen again...
"I think I'm in good health," Su Wanyan said to Yu Nanqing expectantly.
Yu Nanqing choked up. This wasn't a matter of his health. He said cautiously, "Yan'er, three is really enough. I don't need so many children..."
“But I want them.” Su Wanyan smiled at him. “Don’t you think Chen’er and Xixi are adorable? Doesn’t your heart melt when you see them?”
The children have wet nurses to feed them, maids and nannies to take care of their daily lives, and Yu Nanqing to help them with their early education. All she needs to do is pay attention to their health and play with them occasionally. How easy is that?
The key is that for such a large family fortune as Prince Gong's Mansion, it is necessary to have many children to ensure its inheritance. Only when the family line is prosperous and the descendants are numerous can they be united as one and unbreakable.
Yu Nanqing raised his hand to rub his temples, a throbbing pain in his temples: "Um... Yan'er, let me think about it..."
"You don't like me?"
"No!" Yu Nanqing immediately denied, "How could I possibly not like you!"
"So you're saying I'm not as young as I used to be?"
"Yan'er!" Yu Nanqing said angrily, "You know perfectly well that I can't do it, yet you still say such things to anger me!"
Su Wanyan reached out and grabbed his collar, forcing him closer to her. Their breaths were almost touching. She laughed and said, "Then have two more. It's okay, I'll take care of myself, alright?"
"Two...two?"
There was no room for Yu Nanqing to discuss this; he was completely pushed forward by Su Wanyan.
The End
