The two kids have become noticeably more mischievous this year. Especially when they're causing trouble, they're always together, which doubles the amount of harm they can cause.
One day, Li Mai and Zhou Quan were talking, and without one looking after them, the two kids almost pulled up all the magnolia flowers that were in full bloom.
Li Mai wanted to spank them, but with Zhou Quan protecting her, she couldn't hit them, so she could only glare at them.
Li Mai was worried that if they weren't watched, they might cause trouble, so from their birthdays onward, she arranged for each of the two children to have two maids and two attendants to keep an eye on them.
The person was brought by Zhou Quan; he said they were from the Luo family.
Since Zhou Quan could manage these people, she wasn't worried anymore. Besides, her own child wasn't an ordinary child either; let them experience things gradually!
Zhou Quan is now teaching them how to control their spiritual energy and how to cultivate.
After they transform again next year, he won't seal their abilities anymore. Who knows how much trouble these two kids will cause in this town in the future?
***
Yun Chang returned in mid-March.
When he returned, he was accompanied by Yang Rui and Chu Yan, while Zhong Hui remained in Chen and had not yet returned.
When Yun Chang returned to the mansion, she and Fu Bao suddenly came face to face in the courtyard, and both were startled.
Yun Chang thought to herself: This kid truly deserves the name Fu Bao. Looking at his appearance, he really is blessed. He's so chubby and doesn't look like herself when she was little, much less like his mother.
Fu Bao thought to herself: Oh ho, who is this big, dark guy?
Xu Changhuan was looking at things inside the house when he heard people in the courtyard calling for the prince. He quickly came out and saw the father and son staring at each other, neither of them saying a word.
"Your Highness, have you just arrived home?"
When Xu Changhuan saw that he, who used to be fair-skinned and as delicate as jade, had become a dark-skinned and burly man and had lost weight, she felt sorry for him and quickly went to greet him.
Yun Chang looked up when she heard the voice, met Xu Changhuan's gaze, and smiled, "Yes, I just got back. Your Highness has had a hard year."
"Of course," Xu Changhuan replied readily, reaching out to pat his son's head. "What are you standing there for? This is your father, Fu Bao, call him Dad!"
Fu Bao thought to himself: Humph, this isn't Daddy. Daddy is still lying next to his pillow in his little bed!
Fu Bao remained silent.
Yun Chang squatted down to be at eye level with her son. "Fu Bao, Daddy's back. Come here, can Daddy give you a hug?"
Fu Bao thought for a moment. Although he wanted to be his father and make him dislike him, he could still hug him. His mother didn't hug him often, saying that he was too fat and heavy.
However, his uncle often held him, and he and his brother Yu Bao would hold him together.
Fu Bao nodded.
Yun Chang picked up her son; wow, he's quite heavy.
Yun Chang picked up Fu Bao and bounced her around a few times. Then, she tossed Fu Bao up into the air and landed back in Yun Chang's arms.
The little guy was stunned. This was the first time he had ever been tossed high into the air. He had seen his uncle toss Yanbao and Yubao before, but his uncle had never tossed him.
Unexpectedly, someone is now throwing him away. After a moment of stunned silence, the little guy burst into happy laughter, "Higher, higher still!"
When Yun Chang heard her son's laughter and saw his smiling face, it reminded her of herself, so she laughed along and tossed Fu Bao a few more times.
Afterwards, he carried Fu Bao in one arm and led Xu Changhuan's family into the house with the other hand.
The servants followed him inside. The prince had just arrived and needed to wash up, change clothes, and eat.
Xu Changhuan brought Yun Chang his clothes and accompanied him into the inner room to wash up. After a flurry of activity, Yun Chang washed away the dust of his journey and came out of the outer room with Xu Changhuan.
Xu Changhuan's face was a little red and his lips were a little swollen. None of the servants dared to look directly at Xu Changhuan. They all quietly lowered their heads and waited for instructions.
"Go prepare a meal for the Prince. Remember to prepare a bowl of noodles, and also steam an egg custard for the Young Master, just one egg will do," Xu Changhuan instructed.
"Yes," the servants went to attend to their business. Xu Changhuan sat at the table with his son in his arms. Yun Chang also sat down next to Fu Bao, while Xu Changhuan sat on the other side of Fu Bao.
Yun Chang looked down and saw her son fiddling with the little stone horse she had once given him. She smiled and asked, "Fu Bao likes horses?"
"Ma Ma?" Fu Bao looked at Yun Chang in confusion.
Yun Chang pointed to the stone horse in his hand.
Fu Bao looked down, a smile spreading across his face. He waved his little stone horse at Yun Chang and said, "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!"
Yun Chang thought he was being called "Dad" and was about to respond when she saw Fu Bao turn back and continue to say to Shi Xiaoma, "This is called 'Dad'!"
Yun Chang: ......
Xu Changhuan awkwardly covered his forehead.
Yun Chang paused, then roughly understood what was going on. The child was too young for his mother to say a long string of words like, "This is a stone horse that your father gave you." She was probably worried that the child wouldn't be familiar with her in the future, so she let the child play with the stone horse often to let him know that his father existed.
I just didn't expect that the child was so innocent and young, he naturally didn't know what a stone or a horse was.
At this moment, Yun Chang felt both heartache and sorrow. He silently looked up at Xu Changhuan and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Madam."
Xu Changhuan smiled helplessly, "I'm sorry, Your Highness. Later, when I found out that Fu Bao had learned to speak, he called Shi Xiaoma 'Dad.' I corrected him many times, but it was no use. He has seen a horse before and knows that it is a horse, but when he calls Shi Xiaoma 'Dad,' he just says it is 'Dad.'"
Yun Chang reached over her son's back and took his hand, saying softly, "I know. He's never seen what a real father looks like, so he probably thinks that way based on what he's heard since he was little. Don't worry, take it slow, I'll teach him."
"Alright, then it's up to Your Highness." Xu Changhuan breathed a sigh of relief.
