“I wore this when I was a child. A few days ago, I asked Qianhe to find it for me. I used the excuse of missing old things to have the clothing department wash and air it out.”
As Chi Yuan spoke, he buttoned up the last button, lifted the little guy high in his arms, and finally hugged him and gave him a kiss.
"Ah ah..." The little one's eyes widened in amusement, his tender white feet bulging excitedly as he made adorable little sounds.
"I saw the fox cub a couple of days ago and I thought he would look adorable in my childhood clothes, and I was right." Chi Yuan thought of Shen Yulou like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, wanting Shen Yulou's approval.
“Indeed.” Shen Yulou nodded.
Looking at the similar faces of the father and son, I couldn't help but reach out and pinch their cheeks.
When the fox cub saw its father approaching, it thought he wanted to play hide-and-seek with it.
So she immediately buried her face in Chi Yuan's neck, feeling shy.
Feeling the warmth of their skin touching, Chi Yuan gently patted the fox cub's soft back.
"I want to take the fox cub to the ancestral worship ceremony so that Father and Mother can see him." After a long silence, Chi Yuan slowly told Shen Yulou his thoughts.
The sunlight streaming through the window sill was perfect, filling the room with a bright and airy feel.
Shen Yulou could see the unease and nervousness in Chi Yuan's eyes.
He leaned forward and kissed Chi Yuan's eyes.
"Don't look at me like that, it makes me uncomfortable."
“He is your child too. As long as you can protect him and make him happy, I will not stop you from doing anything. You have that right.”
"Really?" The unease in Chi Yuan's eyes gradually disappeared, and his eyes began to light up.
"Don't believe me?" Shen Yulou raised an eyebrow.
"Believe, believe, believe..." Chi Yuan nodded vigorously, and then couldn't wait to kiss Shen Yulou.
"I will definitely protect him!" Chi Yuan's face lit up with joy.
It just so happens that the Ghost Festival is coming up, and all the ministers are quite busy at home. As is customary in previous years, they will be given two weeks of public leave.
Chi Yuan, on the other hand, had some free time and thought he should take this opportunity to plan the matter of the fox cub.
Seeing that there was still a lot of clothes left to try on, Chi Yuan carried the fox cub back to the bed.
The couple changed the fox cub's clothes together.
Suddenly, something flashed into Chi Yuan's mind as he glanced out of the corner of his eye.
He lifted the blanket and took out a red garment that was partially visible.
It was a set of neatly folded silk fabrics, with thin short-sleeved shirts and shorts, and delicate little tiger patterns embroidered in gold thread on the soft collar.
The stitches are fine and neat, and the patterns are charming and endearing, resembling the skills of highly respected old embroiderers in the palace.
Chi Yuan unfolded his clothes, intending to swing them in the air a few times, when suddenly, with a "clang," something fell down, bounced off the bed to the floor, and finally rolled to the foot of the stool.
The stool was right behind Shen Yulou, so he squatted down and picked up the things.
It was a small silver bracelet with a bell hanging from it, and...
Shen Yulou focused his mind and picked up the things next to him.
"What are these?" Shen Yulou handed the things he had picked up to Chi Yuan.
Chi Yuan picked up the small silver bracelet and examined it carefully.
"This little silver bracelet was something I wore from birth until I was three years old. I took it off when I grew up."
“I still remember crying secretly for several nights after I took it off, worried that I would be very sad if I couldn’t find this silver bracelet.”
"My father found out about this and laughed at me for a long time." Chi Yuan couldn't help but laugh as he recalled his naive self back then.
"As for this..." Chi Yuan's eyes flickered, and he pinched the red jade next to him with two fingers.
This is a piece of warm jade in excellent condition, small and exquisite, with a hole in the middle, as if something had been passed through it.
After thinking for a long time, he shook his head.
"Did I wear this when I was a child?" he asked, unsure.
"I'll go ask Qianhe later." Chi Yuan put away the jade pendant, preparing to go find Qianhe later.
