Yun Tao carried Ze Yan and Qian Yue over, and Yun Qingluo hurriedly went to greet them.
"My Zeyan and Qianyue, have you been good these past few days?" Yun Qingluo sat down on the chair, holding Zeyan in her left arm and Qianyue in her right.
When Zeyan and Qianyue saw their mother, their eyes lit up, but then their eyes filled with grievance.
"Look how wronged you look, sweethearts. It's all Mommy's fault. I scared you that day, didn't I? I'm sorry I didn't comfort you in time. Don't be upset anymore, okay?" Yun Qingluo gently coaxed the two children with a smile.
“Mother~, ee.” Zeyan suddenly made a sound.
Yun Qingluo was shocked and stared at Ze Yan in astonishment.
"Holy crap, is this child really not from another time? He's only a few months old and he can already call me 'Mama'!" Xiao Yi exclaimed in shock, her voice filled with surprise.
Yun Qingluo exclaimed excitedly, "Yun Tao, Yun Xin, Zeyan can actually talk!"
Yun Tao and Yun Xin ran over, and Yun Xin excitedly exclaimed first, "Your Highness, the young prince is so intelligent! No wonder he is the prince's child. Ordinary children don't start calling people until they are six months old, but the young prince is so young and he can already call her 'Mother'. He is amazing!"
"Yes, yes, the young master is really smart." Yun Tao looked at Ze Yan with stars in her eyes.
"With the Prince and Princess being so capable, the young prince must be just as capable," Yun Xin said with pride.
Clouds fell, "
On the other side, Qian Yue saw that everyone's eyes were on Ze Yan and no one was looking at her, so she stretched out her little arm and shouted indignantly.
"Aba aba~" Qian Yue's babyish voice was incredibly cute.
Yun Tao chuckled, "Look, our young lady isn't convinced and is also vying to call me 'Mother'."
Yun Qingluo looked at the delicate little faces of her son and daughter and smiled happily.
"My Zeyan is so smart, he's amazing! Qianyue is great too. Have you been eating well these past few days?" Yun Qingluo asked gently.
"Oh my, he can even nod! Your Highness, the young prince is truly amazing, is he perhaps a child prodigy incarnate?" Yun Tao watched as Ze Yan nodded earnestly, seemingly understanding Yun Qingluo's words.
Yun Qingluo glanced at Yun Tao, "It's fine to say these things in private, but you shouldn't spread them around outside."
Yun Tao and Yun Xin exchanged a glance and said seriously that they had remembered.
"Your Highness, the young master and young lady are both doing well. It's you, however, who have lost a lot of weight. Yun Tao and I are taking care of the young master and young lady. You should eat something soon, otherwise, the prince will worry about you again."
Yun Qingluo obeyed and handed the child over to Yun Tao and Yun Xin.
"Hey, why didn't I see Granny Gong?" Yun Qingluo asked curiously.
Speaking of this, Yun Tao became excited again.
"Your Highness, aren't there rumors circulating outside about Miss and the top scholar? Granny Gong was furious when she heard about it. She said how could Your Highness have such a shameless sister. So she volunteered to teach the Second Miss manners." Yun Tao smiled maliciously.
Yun Qingluo was slightly taken aback. So, the reason she didn't see her innocent younger sister in the General's Mansion was because she was being forced by Granny Gong to learn manners?
"Yun Tao, your smile is so mischievous. Did you do something else?" Yun Xin asked with a gossipy look on her face.
Yun Tao's expression was vivid. "Ahem, actually it's nothing. It's just that these past few days, the Prince has not allowed me to take care of the Princess. The young master and young lady have many maids and servants taking care of them. Steward Mo even wishes he could live in the young master's courtyard."
I was bored, so I went to see Granny Gong and told her about how the Second Miss had bullied the Princess. Granny Gong was very angry when she heard this and vowed to teach the Second Miss how to respect her elder sister.
Yun Qingluo smiled, "You, didn't Father and Mother offer any opinions?"
Yun Tao replied fiercely, "Your Highness doesn't know. When Madam was seriously ill, the Second Miss was only focused on running outside and didn't even think about visiting Madam. The General saw through her schemes long ago and knew that Granny Gong came from the Regent's Palace. Without saying a word, he welcomed her into the palace and treated her well."
Even the Madam hardened her heart and told the palace maid not to worry about them, but to focus on teaching the Second Miss proper manners; the Second Miss was likely to have a hard time getting through this.
Yunxin frowned. "She's so suspicious, always bullying the princess. I don't want to pity her. I'd rather pity a dog than her. If you throw a bone at a dog, it'll wag its tail."
Yun Tao picked up where Yun Xin left off, saying, "Hey, Yun Xin, don't slander the dog."
Yun Qingluo couldn't help but burst into laughter, her previous bad mood completely gone.
Yun Tao and Yun Xin exchanged a glance and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Highness, you've finally smiled. Now that you've smiled, we should eat more."
“Look at you, you’ve become so thin since you returned to the capital. All that time you spent at the General’s Mansion was for nothing,” Yun Tao said with a pained expression.
Yun Qingluo's mood improved somewhat, and her appetite did indeed return, especially with the two maids beside her holding the child and watching her.
She ate an extra bowl of rice and successfully stuffed herself.
"I already said I wasn't going to eat anymore, but you still made me eat. Now look what happened, I'm so full. Ugh, I feel so uncomfortable, I can't sit still." Yun Qingluo stood up, holding onto the table, and paced around the room.
Yun Tao called someone in to tidy up the table and then had someone add some hot water.
"Your Highness, go take a shower. You've been lying in bed for days and must be feeling unwell," Yun Tao said considerately.
Yunxin immediately said, "I'll take the child to the wet nurse..."
Before Yunxin could finish speaking, Butler Mo walked towards her from not far outside the door, smiling and saying:
"Butler Mo, I could never find you when I wanted to, but now, wherever the young master and young lady are, you are always there."
"We'd only just taken the child away a moment ago, and you've already come looking for us. Butler Mo, you really know how to worry!"
Butler Mo chuckled, "I was just thinking that the young master and young lady needed to wash up and rest, so I came over to take a look. Our young master is truly a carbon copy of the prince; he looks just like the prince when he was a child."
"If Her Majesty were alive, she would surely be overjoyed to know that the Prince now has a family and children." As he spoke, Steward Mo couldn't help but tear up.
Upon hearing Butler Mo's voice, Yun Qingluo came out and comforted the old man in front of her.
"Butler Mo, people should always look forward. Aren't we living a good life now?"
We who are alive should carry on with the spirit of those who have passed away.
When Butler Mo saw Du Yun fall, he hurriedly raised his sleeve to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said with an embarrassed look, "It's my fault for disturbing the Princess."
"Your Highness, you're right. We who are alive must live well, and our royal family's future will only get better."
Yun Qingluo looked at the spirited Butler Mo and smiled slightly.
He's such a child at heart, so easy to coax.
