After taking a leisurely stroll in the courtyard and digesting their food, the two returned to Fengning Palace together.
Before they had even fully entered the palace, a clear, cheerful, and distinctly childlike voice called out, "Sister-in-law!"
That tender voice was like a clear spring, instantly breaking the surrounding tranquility.
Upon hearing the sound, Jiang Chuwei looked over, and a gentle smile, as warm as the spring sun, immediately bloomed on her face.
Lin Mulang, like a frolicking little rabbit, trotted over quickly towards them with her chubby little legs making a "thump-thump-thump" sound.
His eagerness to rush into Jiang Chuwei's arms was both adorable and hilarious.
Just as the little guy was about to crash into Jiang Chuwei's arms, Lin Muheng, who was standing to the side, reacted quickly and prepared to lift him up to prevent any accident.
However, just as he was about to reach Jiang Chuwei, Lin Mulang, who had been running happily, suddenly stopped abruptly. But due to inertia, he lost his balance and fell forward.
In the blink of an eye, the young eunuch who had been serving nearby saw this and hurriedly reached out to help his young master.
But to everyone's surprise, he was a step too slow. The Emperor took the initiative and steadily lifted Lin Mulang up.
The poor little guy was suspended in mid-air, his two little legs dangling incessantly.
Surprisingly, Lin Mulang showed no fear or panic whatsoever. Instead, she let out a melodious, bell-like laugh—"Giggle, giggle..."
It was as if this wasn't a dangerous thing for him, but rather an interesting game.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!" Lin Mulang, who had finally managed to stop laughing, shouted excitedly while turning his head around and grinning foolishly at Lin Muheng.
At this moment, Jiang Chuwei quickly stretched out her hands, signaling Lin Muheng to put the child down immediately.
Seeing this, Lin Muheng finally let go and gently placed Lin Mulang on the ground.
After regaining her freedom and settling down, Lin Mulang did not continue to be mischievous as before. Instead, she turned around very obediently and respectfully to face Lin Mulang and gave a proper bow.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" The way he bowed with his hands clasped was quite adorable.
In contrast, Lin Muheng, who had been keeping a cold face the whole time, remained expressionless, as if everything happening before his eyes had nothing to do with him.
Seeing what was happening before her eyes, Jiang Chuwei remained calm, as she was already used to it.
After all, Jiang Chuwei was already used to Lin Muheng presenting a completely different image to her and to others.
Lin Mulang, that little fellow, also seemed carefree and oblivious. Even though the Emperor treated him coldly, he never showed the slightest fear.
Having just regained his freedom, Lin Mulang, like a joyful little bird, couldn't wait to run towards Jiang Chuwei.
He quickly reached out his small hand, about to touch Jiang Chuwei's slightly protruding belly.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Muheng, who was standing to the side, grabbed Lin Mulang's wrist again and firmly.
"My sister-in-law is carrying a lovely little nephew." Lin Mulang raised her little head and blinked her innocent big eyes at Lin Muheng.
At this moment, Lin Muheng felt a little guilty. How could he be jealous of such a small child?
Thinking of this, he slowly loosened his grip on Lin Mulang's wrist.
Jiang Chuwei, standing to the side, glared at Lin Muheng, seemingly blaming him for being too petty.
Feeling Jiang Chuwei's gaze, Lin Muheng felt quite embarrassed and could only turn his gaze elsewhere to hide his unease.
At this moment, Jiang Chuwei gently squatted down so that her gaze could meet Lin Mulang's.
She said gently, "Lang'er, you must know that you must ask for permission before you want to touch someone, okay?"
Lin Mulang blinked, a look of understanding on her face, and then asked in a childish voice, "Then, sister-in-law, can I touch my little nephew?"
Jiang Chuwei immediately replied, "Okay!"
After saying this, Lin Muheng gently took his small, tender hand and carefully placed it on his slightly protruding belly. Lin Mulang said with great joy, "Nephew, you must grow up quickly! When you grow up, Uncle Lang'er can take you to play!"
After saying that, a bright and happy smile, as warm as the spring sun, bloomed on his face.
Jiang Chuwei gently stroked Lin Mulang's head with tender eyes and said softly, "From now on, Lang'er must take good care of her nephew. Also, you must eat well and eat your meals properly so that you will have enough strength to carry your nephew in the future."
Hearing this, Lin Mulang nodded as if she understood, then scratched her hair with her chubby little hand and replied in a childish voice, "Lang'er understands, let's go eat now!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Chuwei smiled and waved to him, saying, "Go on!"
Having received permission, Lin Mulang immediately turned around, excitedly preparing to run away.
However, at that moment, as if he had suddenly remembered something important, he abruptly stopped and turned around to look at the emperor who was still sitting there.
He respectfully bowed to Lin Muheng with a proper salute and called out in a clear voice, "Your Majesty, Lang'er will take his leave now!"
