“No! I’ve observed this kid. He’s fine when you hold him, but as soon as I appear, he gives me a hard time, and it’s not just once or twice. He even treats the wet nurse next to him better than he treats me.”
At this point, Lan Linxue suddenly slipped over to Qin Kou'er's side and muttered something beside her.
"Kou'er, let me tell you, this kid has a problem with me, he looks down on me as his father! Do you think we got the wrong babies? Otherwise, why wouldn't he acknowledge me as his dad?"
Lan Linxue felt uneasy whenever she thought about this question!
Is the son not his biological son?
Upon hearing Lan Linxue's words, Qin Kou'er immediately opened her eyes, turned her head, and glared at Lan Linxue with a very serious expression.
"What do you mean? Explain yourself! What do you mean by 'the baby was switched at birth'? Didn't you see me give birth to my son? Weren't you guarding outside the whole time? Besides, when the Crown Princess gives birth, hundreds of eyes are watching. How could the baby be switched? Are you trying to say that this son isn't yours? That I've deliberately made you wear a green hat and made you suffer here, acting as someone else's father for nothing?"
Upon hearing Qin Kou'er's words, Lan Linxue knew that Qin Kou'er was about to get angry, and quickly shook her head repeatedly.
He's really making a scene. He still dares to provoke Qin Kou'er. He must be crazy to the point of wanting to die. If Qin Kou'er gets angry with him, who will read the memorials tomorrow?
Qin Kou'er had no intention of letting Lan Linxue go. Turning around, she faced Lan Linxue with furrowed brows and began searching for her husband.
"If it were someone else having such thoughts, I could let it go. After all, I'm your husband's child, and I married you later. Some gossip is just a lesson for me. Lan Linxue, if you have such thoughts, I'll beat you to death right now! Just look at Xibao's face, it's like it was ripped off your body. And those eyes, do you really think they're the wrong babies?"
Seeing that Qin Kou'er was really about to get angry, Lan Linxue quickly smiled and leaned close to her, pulling Qin Kou'er into her arms and giving her a kiss.
"Look at me, I didn't say anything else, did I? It's just that my son didn't seem very affectionate towards me, so I complained a little. Everyone knows he's mine. Just look at how incredibly handsome he is, there's no way he could be someone else's child! I was wrong, don't be angry! Don't be angry!"
How can I not be angry?
As Qin Kou'er spoke, she angrily slapped Lan Linxue's hand away.
“You always say your son isn’t close to you. I beg you, do something to make him closer to you! You never visit him, how can he be close to you?”
Lan Linxue nodded repeatedly, "Yes! Yes! It's all my fault! Tomorrow I'll hug my son and give him a good kiss! Okay, okay, don't be angry, let's go to sleep!"
As she spoke, Lan Linxue hugged Qin Kou'er and started poking around, doing what she loved most.
However, starting the next day, Lan Linxue really began to show affection to her son.
For example, they would come to see Xibao on their own initiative, take him for a stroll in the Royal Garden, and show him all sorts of fun things.
At first, Xi Bao was still very proud and principled, refusing to accept bribes from her father.
But later, he found that Lan Linxue gave him things that flashed, and he found them very interesting, and would even reach out his little hands to ask for them.
Looking at the gemstone in her hand, Lan Linxue couldn't help but sigh. Like mother, like son. Xi Bao is so young, yet he already knows how to like these shiny and valuable things. He'll probably be a money-grubber when he grows up.
The father and son spent less than half an hour together harmoniously before Xibao stopped liking the toy in his hand and wanted his mother to hold him.
When Lan Linxue saw Lan Nuoxi reaching out his little hands to grab Qin Kou'er, she immediately pulled him away a little.
"Son, I only have time to hold you because of your mother! You mustn't bother her! Otherwise, I won't be able to hold you anymore!"
Lan Nuoxi completely ignored Lan Linxue's words and clung to her little hand, still wanting her mother to hug her.
Seeing that Qin Kou'er seemed to have no time to pay attention to her, she couldn't help but pout and start to cry.
Her rosy little face scrunched up in a pitiful expression, her bright red lips pursed, and her watery eyes began to well up with tears, making anyone who saw her melt instantly.
Clutching Lan Linxue's clothes, Xi Bao was about to burst into tears, feeling wronged.
"Oh dear, what's wrong with my precious son? Is Mommy ignoring us? Daddy's paying attention to our Xibao! Daddy's holding our Xibao, so we don't need Mommy anymore!"
With that, Lan Linxue picked up the child and walked outside.
Seeing that she was getting further and further away from Qin Kou'er, Xi Bao couldn't help but cry in grievance, and then grabbed Lan Linxue's clothes and started acting up.
No matter how Lan Linxue held him or coaxed him, he just wanted his mother and wouldn't behave in her arms.
In the end, he even cried out his own milk and vomited all over Lan Linxue.
Lan Linxue finally lost her temper, shoved her son into the wet nurse's arms, and stormed into the hall.
"Hmph! This good child has been spoiled rotten by his father! Look at him now! A perfectly normal man, crying whenever he can't see his mother? What a mess! If I were like him, I'd cry myself to death! No way! When he's a little older, I'll just throw him out there. He needs to be toughened up!"
At this moment, the wet nurse came in carrying the crying young prince.
Upon hearing Lan Linxue's angry words, Qin Kou'er put down her pen, hugged Xi Bao, and whispered words of comfort.
Sure enough, Xi Bao stopped crying immediately after being put in Qin Kou'er's arms. She stared at Qin Kou'er with wide eyes and put her little hand in her mouth.
