When they rested at night, Tonghui was fine, perhaps because of her birth mother, she was precocious. Hongchang and Tongxuan, however, refused to leave, and cried as soon as their wet nurse held them.
He Yue had no choice but to let them stay.
Thirteen's face darkened, and he couldn't help but complain, "They're all such a handful!"
Heyue rolled her eyes: "They're still children. Why can't you, as their father, give in to them? Alright, go and rest in the front."
He then tried to kick them out, showing no politeness whatsoever.
Thirteen was seething with hatred, but he held her tightly in both arms, his voice mournful: "No way! I'll stay with them. How can I let a brat kick me out?!"
She even glared at the two children, as if to challenge them.
He's really starting to look more and more like a child!
He Yue found it amusing, knowing that once he got angry, no one could stop him, so she had no choice but to let him be.
The bed is big enough for two adults and two children, but it would be a bit crowded for three children.
Fortunately, only Hongchang and Tongxuan were making a fuss. Thirteen had always disliked Tonghui, so he bypassed Heyue and ordered the wet nurse, "Take Tonghui away!"
Heyue, however, felt it was inappropriate.
Although the child is young, it is the time when her memory is developing. If this causes her to have different perceptions from a young age, it will definitely not be good.
Ignoring Thirteen's dark expression, he ordered the wet nurses, "You may all leave. Let the eldest princess stay."
The wet nurse didn't dare look at Thirteen, respectfully agreed, and withdrew.
Thirteen grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Why can't we let her stay too? How will she sleep tonight?"
He Yue snorted coldly: "Then you can sleep in the front yard, which will make room for us."
Thirteen dared not say anything else, and immediately wrapped his arms around her waist in a flattering manner, soothingly saying, "Alright, alright, I'll listen to whatever you say, okay?"
He Yue's expression softened slightly.
Looking at Tonghui lying beside him, her bright black eyes blinking, her little chubby hand clutching Heyue's clothes, and her grinning, she was very well-behaved and cute.
He Yue picked her up and stroked her soft, black hair. Tong Hui immediately giggled, her eyes forming crescent moons. With a smack, she kissed He Yue on the cheek, leaving a drool mark.
Seeing her like this, Heyue's heart softened completely, and she kissed her left cheek, causing the girl to flutter her little hands, open her mouth, and stammer out two words: "E-Mother..."
He Yue looked at Tong Hui, who was laughing happily in front of her, and was quite surprised.
She remembered that before leaving the capital, Tonghui couldn't call out "Mother" so clearly, but now she could clearly say those two words.
Thirteen's eyes widened in disbelief.
Seemingly because she hadn't received a response from Heyue for a long time, little Tonghui's face fell in displeasure. She touched Heyue's ear with her little hand, then pounced on her and gave her a big kiss on the cheek.
He Yue smiled and patted her little face, praising her generously, "Tong Hui is so good."
Tong Hui grinned and smiled happily again.
Thirteen felt uncomfortable seeing this, so he picked up Hongchang, helped him stand in front of him, looked straight at him, and commanded, "Hongchang, call him Father."
Hongchang was picked up and squirmed uncomfortably, wanting to find Heyue, but was held back by the person in front of him, and his little mouth pouted unhappily.
He finally recognized his father, but he still stammered, "Ah...ah..." without being able to utter another word.
Thirteen looked displeased and carefully corrected, "It's 'Father,' call him 'Father'..."
Hongchang still had his mouth open, waving his little hands, and calling out, "Ah... Ah..."
Thirteen's face was dark, and he was extremely depressed.
Seemingly no longer wanting to play with him, Hongchang began to struggle violently.
Thirteen, afraid of hurting him, had no choice but to put him down properly. Hongchang immediately turned to Heyue, grabbing Heyue's sleeve with one little hand and reaching out to hug her.
Heyue put Tonghui down and hugged Hongchang, comforting him.
Thirteen, unwilling to give up, helped Tongxuan up again and coaxed her to call him "Father" in the same way.
To everyone's surprise, Tongxuan really stuck to her principle of not liking to talk, ignoring him completely and just grinning foolishly.
Thirteen tried to coax them several times but failed, and couldn't help but feel frustrated: "Why don't they call for their father?"
Seeing his actions, He Yue couldn't help but laugh: "Why are you arguing with them? They're only a few months younger than Tong Hui, so it's normal for them to start talking later."
Even so, Thirteen was still unhappy.
Heyue held Hongchang in her arms, and in her other hand she held Tongxuan's little hand. Tongxuan's little hand gripped one of her index fingers, and she looked up at her with her little face. Suddenly she opened her mouth and uttered, "Ah...Mother..."
Thirteen's eyes widened.
A pleasant surprise.
Although she wasn't quite sure, and she pronounced "E" as "A," Heyue was still very happy. She hugged Tongxuan in her arms and coaxed, "Xuanxuan, call me 'Empress,' say it again."
Tongxuan giggled and obediently called out again, "Ah... Mother..." Seemingly finding it very amusing, she tried calling out a few more times.
"Oh, Xuanxuan is so good!" Heyue gave her a big kiss on the cheek, her face beaming with joy.
Thirteen's mouth tasted sour, and she glared at Tongxuan resentfully: "You little jerk!"
He was pleased and pleased, and ignored his depression.
Thirteen, still unconvinced, came over and coaxed Tongxuan, "Be good, Xuanxuan, call me 'Father, Father'..."
Tongxuan blinked, looked at him in confusion, opened her mouth, and let out a "Ah," but under Thirteen's surprised and expectant gaze, she stubbornly refused to utter the next word.
Thirteen's expression shifted from anticipation to frustration. He smiled and collapsed onto the bed, hugging and kissing Tongxuan, calling out, "My good baby!"
Tongxuan seemed very happy that her mother treated her this way, and her smile became even more cheerful.
