Mo Beichen took out a bowl and handed it to Yun Qingluo, then put out the fire in the stove.
After Yun Qingluo finished serving the noodles and placed them on a plate outside, she was about to call someone over to help carry the plate to the front hall when Mo Beichen walked up from behind and said, "I'll carry it; you follow behind."
Yun Qingluo smiled and said okay.
When they arrived at the front hall, Yun Qingluo was surprised to find that the two children had already finished their complementary food. Yun Qingluo exclaimed in delight, "Granny Gong, they ate it all?"
The palace maid smiled and said, "Yes, Her Highness the Princess and His Highness the Crown Prince are eating very well. Before, Her Highness the Princess was a bit picky about food, and Madam Yun was always thinking about what to cook for them. His Highness the Crown Prince was better. Unexpectedly, their favorite food is Her Highness's cooking."
Zeyan said happily, "Mother's cooking is especially delicious."
Qian Yue blinked her bright, sparkling eyes and stretched out her hands toward Yun Qingluo, wanting a hug.
The palace maid stopped Qian Yue, "Your Highness, be good. Her Majesty also needs to eat. How about we wait until Her Majesty finishes eating before you hug Your Highness?"
Qian Yue didn't understand what Granny Gong said, but when she saw Yun Qingluo walking towards the dining table without any intention of carrying her, her little face scrunched up, looking aggrieved.
Yun Qingluo originally intended to help Mo Beichen set out the cucumbers, but when she turned around, she saw Qian Yue looking at her pitifully. Her heart softened, and she immediately walked up to Qian Yue, reached out and picked her up.
"Oh dear, look how wronged my sweet daughter is. Let me hug you. Don't be sad, don't be sad. Sweetie, Mommy's here." Yun Qingluo gently patted Qian Yue's back to comfort her.
Qianyue was happy when she smelled her mother's familiar scent and started babbling again.
Mo Beichen set the table, turned to look at Yun Qingluo, and said affectionately, "Luoluo, it's time to eat. I'll hold Qianyue."
Then he turned to Qianyue and said, "How about Daddy holds me? Let Mommy eat. Mommy hasn't eaten all day."
Zeyan watched with some envy as his parents doted on his younger sister, comforting himself inwardly, "Don't be sad, don't be sad. I'm the older brother, I have to take care of my sister."
Yun Qingluo turned around and saw Ze Yan looking down with a somewhat aggrieved expression. She nudged Mo Beichen with her elbow, signaling him to look at Ze Yan.
Mo Beichen followed Yun Qingluo's gaze and immediately understood.
Just as he was about to walk over, Yun Qingluo poked his arm again. Mo Beichen saw the worry in Yun Qingluo's eyes and nodded helplessly.
He was initially angry at Zeyan for being so useless, but after Yun Qingluo's prompting, he understood that Luoluo didn't want him to be too harsh on the child.
Yes, both children are already so smart and well-behaved, he shouldn't be strict with them anymore.
Mo Beichen walked up to Zeyan, who felt a shadow fall over him. When he looked up, he saw his father looking at him, and his eyes involuntarily brightened.
Mo Beichen picked up Zeyan and lifted him high in the air, asking, "Did Zeyan eat enough of the food his mother made?"
Zeyan glanced at his mother, who was also looking at him. The little boy, feeling the attention, smiled happily. "Father, I'm full. Mother's cooking is especially delicious. I really wish I could eat Mother's cooking every day."
These words made Yun Qinglu feel both gratified and heartbroken. She realized that she was not a good mother and had not been there for them when they needed her most.
Upon hearing Ze Yan's words, Mo Beichen reflexively looked at Yun Qingluo and, sure enough, saw that she looked somewhat sad.
Looking back at Zeyan, who was somewhat nervous and at a loss, Yun Qingluo wondered what he had said wrong.
Why does Mother look so sad? Zeyan even softened his breathing.
Mo Beichen sighed, reached out and stroked Zeyan's little head, and said gently, "Good boy, it's not your fault. It's just that we haven't spent enough time with you. You like your mother's cooking, so your mother will cook for you often from now on, okay?"
Zeyan said cautiously, "Father, but Mother is really sad."
Mo Beichen suddenly felt that his son had become more sensible. Just as Luo Luo had said, he was so sensible that it broke his heart.
"It's alright, dear. With your father here, let Granny Gong take you to wash up first. After your father has comforted your mother, I'll take her to find you, okay?" Mo Beichen said.
Zeyan nodded obediently at first, then shook his head hesitantly, "It was I who upset Mother, I want to stay."
Over there, Yun Qingluo had already composed herself thanks to Xiao Yi's reminder. When she came to her senses and heard Ze Yan's words, she felt a warm feeling in her heart.
She carried Qianyue over, reached out a hand, patted Xiao Zeyan's hand, and said with a smile, "Good boy, Mother is just sad that she didn't spend enough time with you. Mother will try to spend more time with you in the future and make you more delicious food."
Upon hearing this, Zeyan nodded vigorously, "Yes, Mother, my sister and I will always stay with you."
After saying that, she hesitated for a moment and then kissed Yun Qingluo on the cheek. Yun Qingluo smiled and said, "Oh, my son is so thoughtful. Mother is happy right away."
Nestled in Yun Qingluo's arms, Qian Yue saw her brother kiss their mother and got up as well. She grabbed Yun Qingluo's neck with both hands and tilted her head back to kiss Yun Qingluo's other cheek.
Yun Qingluo smiled, but Mo Beichen was a little annoyed. He hadn't even kissed his wife yet, and she had already beaten him to it.
"Alright, let's eat first." Mo Beichen handed the child to Granny Gong, then took Qian Yue from Yun Qingluo's arms and handed her to Yun Tao. Without even looking at the two children, he pulled Yun Qingluo back to the table.
Yun Qingluo turned her head to look at Mo Beichen and smiled, "No way, the Emperor of Tianmo Kingdom is even jealous of his own child?"
Mo Beichen awkwardly turned his head away, then straightened up again, handed the chopsticks to Yun Qingluo, and said, "Is that not allowed?"
Yun Qingluo thought Mo Beichen would deny it, but she didn't expect him to admit it so confidently. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, okay."
Xiao Yi sneered, "Tsk tsk tsk, I told you long ago that your man is stingy, but you didn't believe me."
Yun Qingluo's brows relaxed, and she said with a smile, "Where is it? I didn't see it."
Xiao Yi was speechless. "Fine, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What else can I say? Forget it, out of sight, out of mind. I'm going to sleep now. You four can have fun."
