Upon hearing this, Yun Qingluo's eyes welled up slightly, feeling both heartache and tenderness.
She couldn't help but complain to Xiao Yi, saying in a sour tone, "I wonder which girl will end up with this sweet little guy."
Xiao Yi said ruthlessly, "I don't know who will benefit, but you can benefit first for the next fifteen years."
Qianyue clung to her mother's arm, refusing to let go, "Sui, Sui, A Liang, Gei,... Brother, hug me."
Seeing that the little one was unwilling to let go, Yun Qingluo tentatively guessed, "Does Qianyue want to sleep with her mother?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the little girl nodded vigorously and leaned her head against Yun Qingluo's chest, making a gesture of closing her eyes, which made Yun Qingluo unable to help but laugh.
Yun Qingluo turned to look at Zeyan, "What about Zeyan? Does he want to sleep with his mother?"
Zeyan was still a little uncomfortable. His eyes lit up slightly, but he restrained himself and said with a straight face, "The Grand Tutor said that Zeyan is the Crown Prince, a fierce beast. Fierce beasts always walk alone in the world. Zeyan can sleep by himself."
After saying that, she glanced enviously at Qian Yue, who was lying in Yun Qingluo's arms.
Ugh, being the crown prince is such a hassle.
Yun Qingluo felt a pang of heartache as she pulled Zeyan into her arms and held him tightly, once again questioning herself whether she should have made him the crown prince.
Yun Qingluo said with heartache, "But, Mother really wants to sleep with Zeyan and Qianyue. Mother hasn't slept well for the past few days because of this. Zeyan, please have pity on Mother and sleep with her for a while, okay?"
Ze Yan, who had been looking down with a somewhat sullen expression, suddenly raised his head upon hearing Yun Qingluo's words. His eyes sparkled like the brightest stars in the night sky, startling Yun Qingluo.
My own child will probably be even more handsome than his father when he grows up, right?
Yun Qingluo pressed on, "Oh dear, Mother didn't sleep well and has a bit of a headache. If Zeyan and Qianyue were here to sleep with me, Mother would definitely be able to get a good night's sleep."
Qianyue reached out her little hand to touch Yun Qingluo's head, blowing on it as she did so, "A Liang, whoosh, whoosh."
Yun Qinglu felt a warmth in her heart and was about to praise her when she felt her face become damp. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a silvery-white transparent thread connecting Qian Yue's lips and her own face. Her expression froze slightly, and she was somewhat at a loss, but she maintained a perfect smile.
I kept telling myself that I couldn't discourage the child's love.
Ze Yan pulled a handkerchief from his sleeve with a hint of disdain and used it to wipe the drool off Yun Qingluo's face. Yun Qingluo glanced at Ze Yan gratefully and complained to Xiao Yi, "This child is too precocious. I even suspect he's a time traveler. How does he know everything?"
Xiao Yi complained, "You don't even understand the child you carried and gave birth to, so how could I possibly understand? Just kidding. Besides, look at those innocent and naive eyes, they're probably not from another time."
Yun Qingluo carefully examined Ze Yan's dark eyes. It is said that the eyes are the windows to the soul, and it seemed that he did have the look that a baby should have. However, the forced maturity on his face did not match his small stature.
"Thank you, Zeyan. Give it to Mother. Mother will wipe Qianyue's drool." Yun Qingluo took the handkerchief and wiped Qianyue's drool clean.
"Zeyan and Qianyue, would you like to sleep with your mother?" Yun Qingluo asked the question again patiently.
He could tell that the little guy really wanted to sleep with him, but kept using the Grand Tutor's words to convince himself. This sight was both heartbreaking and heartwarming.
Qian Yue immediately locked herself into Yun Qingluo's arms, proving her thoughts with her actions.
Zeyan nodded with difficulty, comforting himself that he was just keeping his mother company while she slept because she was feeling unwell and needed him to stay with her.
Yun Qingluo got up and carried the two little ones. Granny Gong and Yun Tao came over, wanting to help Yun Qingluo carry them, but Yun Qingluo shook her head slightly. She wanted to carry them herself, since she still had the strength.
Moreover, she didn't want to continue neglecting Zeyan because he was sensible, as she had done before. From now on, she would treat him equally.
Although the two may have different approaches to education, her love should not be biased.
Looking down at the two fluffy little heads nestled obediently against her chest, Yun Qingluo's heart was filled to the brim.
The old nanny walked behind and whispered to Yun Tao and Yun Xin, "Her Majesty has returned without eating and is sleeping. She must be very tired. Why don't we prepare some food for her before she goes to sleep?"
Yun Tao shook her head. "No need, Granny Gong. On the way back, I asked Her Highness, and she said she ate pastries in the carriage and isn't hungry yet. We don't need to prepare anything for now. We'll have a meal with His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Princess when she wakes up."
The old nanny nodded, "Alright, then you all stay and serve Her Highness. I'll go check on the kitchen."
After finishing her words, Granny Gong quietly left without disturbing Yun Qingluo and the two children.
Yunxin tugged at Yuntao's sleeve, somewhat uncertainly, and said, "The Empress Dowager is still in the palace. Should we remind Her Highness?"
Yun Tao suddenly remembered something, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Let's forget it. The people of the world know what she has done during this time. The Empress did not go to see her when she returned to the palace, so nothing should happen. Go to the Empress Dowager's palace and tell her that the Emperor was too tired when he saw the Empress and specially allowed her to wake up, tidy herself up, and then go to pay her respects, so as not to offend the Empress Dowager."
Yun Xin gave Yun Tao a thumbs up and smiled mischievously, "You're so smart. Okay, I'll go and pass on the message now. I'll also have someone go to the General's Mansion to inform the Madam that Her Majesty is well and that we'll invite her to the palace for a gathering later."
Yun Tao nodded, "Tell Madam about the situation on the frontier as well. She's probably worried about the General and the two young masters. Our information here is more up-to-date than Madam's, but we must remind her not to spread it outside."
Yunxin said "I understand" and turned to leave.
Yun Qingluo turned around and glanced at Yun Tao. "What are you two whispering about in the back? Why did Granny Gong and Yun Xin leave? Are you hiding something from me?"
Yun Tao shook her head and said that nothing could be hidden from the Empress. Then she quickly walked a few steps forward, caught up with Yun Qingluo, and told Yun Qingluo everything she had just said.
Yun Qingluo raised an eyebrow and gave Yun Tao an appreciative look.
She praised him, "Not bad, you've been reading a lot lately, haven't you? You've become much smarter, and you're starting to resemble Granny Gong more and more. You're also very thoughtful in your actions. Not bad at all."
