But they couldn't let Xiao Sizi go hungry, so the Tenth Master and the others could only look at Xiao Hongxuan with reluctance, preparing to hand him over to Su Peisheng.
Unexpectedly, just as they were about to hand over the duties, they heard the Fourth Master instruct Su Peisheng: "Take Hongxuan to Guarjia's place. Keep an eye out for any egg custard that's served there, and have someone make some."
Upon hearing this, Eighth Master reacted quickly, "Fourth Brother, can Little Fourth eat steamed egg custard? He doesn't want milk anymore?"
.
Such tiny babies are all still nursing, aren't they?
The Crown Prince, the First Prince, and the others reacted quickly, all looking at the Fourth Prince. They remembered that their children, or even those who were only a year old, were still drinking milk even when they were two or three years old.
Fourth Master nodded expressionlessly, but the next second, when he met the burning gazes of his brothers, he suddenly felt uneasy.
Sure enough, the tenth brother's excited voice was heard: "Then fourth brother, there's no need for such trouble. Su Peisheng, just have someone bring over a bowl of steamed egg custard and let Xiao Sizi eat here. There's no need to take him away."
As he spoke, he quickly withdrew his hand that was about to hand Xiao Hongxuan to Su Peisheng.
This sudden movement, with its sudden advance and retreat, made Xiao Hongxuan think that the Tenth Prince was playing a game with him. Suddenly, he burst into laughter.
Seeing the little guy so happy, with that warm smile, the princes felt incredibly relaxed and happy.
Sitting next to the Tenth Prince, the Ninth Prince and the Twelfth Prince couldn't resist the charm of Xiao Hongxuan's smile and couldn't help but smile and pat his head.
Breaking away from his usual quiet and agreeable demeanor, the Twelfth Prince's eyes gleamed, and for the first time tonight, he spoke words beyond mere politeness. He looked at the Fourth Prince pleadingly, "Fourth Brother, please let the Fourth Prince stay?"
Before the Fourth Prince could respond, the Ninth Prince glanced at him mockingly, pursed his lips, and then grinned wickedly at Xiao Hongxuan, teasing him, "Hehe, still laughing? Your father is going to take you away and not give you any food."
Amma, he knew who he was referring to.
Eating is easy for Hongxuan, who has eaten delicious complementary foods. So, not giving him food makes it even easier for him to understand.
Sure enough, the chubby boy immediately stared at Fourth Master with his big, dark eyes and pouted, "Eee-yah-yah!"
"Haha!" The eldest prince, the tenth prince, the thirteenth prince, and other boisterous men burst into laughter. The crown prince and the others, though restrained, also had smiles in their eyes and wide smiles at the corners of their mouths.
The way this little fourth brother looks makes it seem like he's accusing his fourth brother (or fourth brother) of being a bad person and being unhappy about not giving him food.
Fourth Master certainly felt the same way, hence his dark expression.
Seeing this, the princes felt quite pleased.
Moreover, they are now genuinely interested in Xiao Hongxuan because this little guy is only seven months old, yet he can understand what adults are saying. How could they not be amazed?
Sure enough, after Ninth Master, Tenth Master teased Hongxuan, saying, "It's no use pouting and being unhappy. Your father said you can't eat steamed egg custard!"
However, the Tenth Prince was straightforward and didn't have many thoughts, unlike the Eighth Prince, the Crown Prince, and the Third Prince, who were more thoughtful. He thought it might just be a coincidence, and that the Tenth Prince hadn't really understood.
So, after the Tenth Prince asked the question, all the princes stared at Xiao Hongxuan. Then they saw the little guy blink in disbelief with his already wide eyes, and then his dark eyes flashed with grievance as he looked at the Fourth Prince, and his mouth pursed even more.
Good heavens! This little fourth prince actually understood! All the princes were stunned.
When Fourth Master caught sight of his brothers' stunned expressions, his dark face and anger vanished. Now, he longed to burst into laughter.
.
Hmph, look at you guys who were just watching my show, now you're all envious and jealous that I have such a smart son!
Just as he was feeling happy, Fourth Master suddenly heard a familiar "waaaa" cry. He looked up at Tenth Brother and saw the chubby boy opening his mouth wide and bursting into tears!
Upon hearing Hongxuan's crying, the Tenth Master and the others couldn't help but change their expressions. This chubby boy's crying was truly deafening!
The next second, all the princes panicked, and the Tenth Prince, who was holding little Hongxuan and was the one who made little Hongxuan cry loudly, was at a loss and had no idea what to do. He was dumbfounded!
But they were dumbfounded. Fourth Master was not. Seeing his fourth son open his mouth and wail loudly, but without shedding a single tear, he knew perfectly well that it was all an act. Just like his mother, he was a master of pretense.
But Fourth Master didn't feel ashamed. He actually enjoyed the way his brothers frantically teased and made fun of the chubby boy.
As expected of my son, he's really something. Hongxuan, keep wailing. Hmph, I'll make all your uncles and elders lose face.
Su Peisheng, who was standing by, was stunned. Where had the composure and nobility of these princes gone?
In a secluded corner, Jiaming watched this scene, her lips twitching and her eyes vacant. All the princes were actually surrounding Hongxuan... This was really the son she had given birth to for the Fourth Prince, not the son she had given birth to for all the princes at the same time!
After watching the princes panic for a while, Fourth Master glanced at his son, who was faking tears, and said calmly, "Stop crying, your tenth uncle is lying to you."
As he spoke, he gestured for Su Peisheng to place a bowl of steamed egg custard that had just been delivered onto the table in front of the little guy.
The little one looked at the bowl of steamed egg custard, sniffed the familiar aroma, and shut his mouth, ceasing his wailing. His dark eyes, untouched by tears, stared at the bowl of egg custard, his pupils darting around.
When Tenth Master and the others heard the little guy stop crying, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, little Hongxuan turned his head and gave Twelfth Master a bright smile, pointing his chubby little finger at the steamed egg custard and babbling away.
The twelfth master immediately understood, scooped up a spoonful of steamed egg custard, and handed it to the little guy.
"Awoo!" The little guy opened his mouth wide and bit off more than half a spoonful of steamed egg custard in one bite, chewing with his mouth puffing out.
Fourth Master's eyes twitched; he knew this little guy was a glutton!
But the other princes, including the Twelfth Prince, thought it was quite cute to see Hongxuan pouting, squinting, and enjoying his steamed egg custard.
Sure enough, they all scrambled to grab the spoon from the Twelfth Prince's hand, and then, as Hongxuan smiled brightly at one of the princes holding the spoon, he opened his mouth.
The prince, holding a spoon, chuckled and scooped up a large spoonful of steamed egg custard, then happily fed it to the chubby boy.
Fourth Master was stunned to see his brothers so eager to feed his son, especially their happy and joyful expressions.
Am I seeing things? Hongxuan is quite likable, but for him to be so popular with his brothers is just too charming and too ruthless.
Fourth Master's lips twitched, his eyes glazed over. So charming, who does this chubby boy look like?
