Xiao Chenyi also symbolically presented a pair of gold bracelets, saying, "Your Majesty really dotes on your sister-in-law." There was a hint of sourness in his tone that he himself didn't realize.
"My wife deserves my utmost care." Xiao Yanchu smiled at Xiao Chenyi, a hint of warning in his eyes. He understood the thoughts between men.
After chatting for a few more minutes, Empress Dowager Wei tentatively tried to find out the whereabouts of Prince Lin'an, but Su Ruojin brushed her off with a few words. Then the two returned to their residence.
Su Ruojin weighed the two gifts she had received as a reward; they were enough to ensure that the children adopted by Cigutang and Tianyige would have no worries about food and clothing.
As for the rule that royal items cannot be sold, that does not apply to Su Ruojin.
If you melt it down or take it apart and reshape it, who would know it's a royal item?
The carriage ride back home was a little shaky, but not too much, just the right amount to lull one into sleep.
Su Ruojin quickly closed her eyes. Her head accidentally bumped against the car wall. She was already asleep, but she only showed an uncomfortable expression and continued to sleep without opening her eyes.
Looking at Su Ruojin like this, Xiao Yanchu felt both amused and sorry for her. He gently helped her to lie on her side on his lap so that she could sleep more comfortably.
Su Ruojin naturally twisted her head on Su Yanchu's lap, found the most comfortable position, and fell into a deep sleep.
She had no idea that simply turning her head had caused Xiao Yanchu to desperately take deep breaths to suppress the heat within her body, preventing her from making a fool of herself when she got off the carriage.
Back at the mansion, Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu went to see Consort Jiang again, and Consort Jiang gave Su Ruojin a set of gold jewelry.
Su Ruojin felt that she had so many hair accessories that she could change them every day and go for years without repeating the same one.
Yi'er, however, was acting out of character. Since yesterday, she hadn't come to cling to Su Ruojin. Now, at Consort Jiang's place, she didn't take the initiative to greet her, but just squatted alone in a corner.
Su Ruojin looked at Xiao Yanchu, asking for the reason with her eyes. Xiao Yanchu gently shook his head, indicating that he did not know either.
Worried that he might be feeling unwell, Su Ruojin quickly went over and squatted down. "Xiaobao, are you feeling unwell? Tell your sister Jin."
Xiao Bao looked up at Su Ruojin, and Su Ruojin was startled to see that his eyes were full of tears. "Xiao Bao, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Bao suddenly burst into tears, "Sister Jin has married the Imperial Uncle and become the Imperial Aunt. How am I supposed to marry Sister Jin now?"
Su Ruojin: ......
Xiao Yanchu:......
Consort Jiang: ......
No one expected that Xiao Bao was sad for this reason.
Xiao Yanchu's lips twitched; he felt an urge to pick up this brat and give him a good beating.
Su Ruojin gently hugged Xiaobao and asked, "Xiaobao, why do you want to marry Sister Jin?"
Xiao Bao replied, sobbing, "Because Xiao Bao wants to be with Sister Jin every day."
Su Ruojin smiled and said, "Now that Sister Jin has married your royal uncle and lives in the palace, Xiaobao can see Sister Jin every day. How is that any different from you marrying Sister Jin?"
Xiao Bao thought about it and realized it made sense. He stopped crying, but his voice was still a little choked up. "Then, Sister Jin, will you spend more time with me or with Uncle?"
“Of course I’ll spend more time with Xiao Bao.” Su Ruojin winked at Xiao Yanchu, whose expression was getting increasingly grim.
Xiao Bao hugged Su Ruojin tightly, "Then Xiao Bao won't cry anymore. Xiao Bao wants Sister Jin to stay with Xiao Bao."
"Okay, let's go. Sister Jin will teach Xiaobao to practice calligraphy."
Watching the two leave, Xiao Yanchu's face darkened even more.
Consort Jiang smiled and said, "Xiao Jin clearly likes children and is very patient with them. Chu'er, you need to work harder to give Yi'er a younger brother or sister soon so he won't be lonely."
At this moment, Xiao Yanchu was thinking, "If A Jin has a son, wouldn't he be like Yi'er, always trying to steal him away from her?"
Or, we could talk to Ah Jin about not having children.
Or if you're going to have a child, have a daughter, as beautiful as Ah Jin, soft and sweet.
