Chapter 949: Father and Son Compete for Favor
Daohua was holding the rice with her back to the courtyard gate and did not notice that Xiao Yeyang had returned. The maids did notice it, but unfortunately Xiao Yeyang stopped them from reporting it.
The rice practiced walking for a while, then seemed tired, so it snuggled in the arms of the rice flower and stopped moving, just shaking its rattle.
"babble?"
The little fat boy noticed Xiao Yeyang, and stared at Xiao Yeyang with his big dark eyes, looking a little confused, as if he was thinking that there didn't seem to be such a person in their family.
Daohua noticed her son's expression, turned around, and saw Xiao Yeyang standing a few meters away, looking at them with a smile in his eyes. A smile immediately appeared on her face.
“I’m back!”
Xiao Yeyang walked over with a smile. Seeing his son tilting his head to look at him, he looked silly and cute. He couldn't help but reach out and touch his head: "My son is already this big?"
Daohua glared at him and said, "If you came back any later, our son would be running all over the place." Then she put her son in Xiao Yeyang's arms.
Xiao Yeyang caught his son in a panic. He had only held his son a few times since he was born, so he was very unfamiliar with the technique. He was afraid that he would use too much strength and hurt his son.
Seeing his cautious look, Daohua was a little amused and said to Daozi, "Daozi, this is your father. From now on, you will have a father to play with."
“Yeah~”
The rice screamed. The little guy was brave and not afraid of the 'stranger' in front of him. He shook the rattle in his hand "dong dong dong" and jumped up and down. Xiao Yeyang was so scared that he had to hold him tightly, for fear that he would jump down.
Seeing that Xiao Yeyang looked exhausted, Daohua quickly asked him to carry his son into the house, and asked Guyu to prepare hot water.
After entering the house, Daohua took her son in her arms and said, "Go wash up first. By the way, have you met Master and Mother yet?"
Xiao Yeyang said as he took off his clothes: "Not yet."
"After taking a bath, you can rest for a while. I will go and tell them later that we will have dinner together in the evening." Daohua put her son on the bed, asked the maid to watch him play by himself, and then went to get some clean clothes for Xiao Yeyang.
After Xiao Yeyang finished taking a shower and came out of the bathroom, he saw his son looking at him curiously, his little mouth slightly open and saliva flowing from the corners of his mouth.
"Give me the handkerchief."
Xiao Yeyang took the handkerchief from the maid, wiped the corners of his son's mouth himself, then sat down on the couch and stared at the little fat boy.
When Daohua came back from outside, she saw her son making a big fuss and babbling something to Xiao Yeyang, with anger on his chubby face.
When Xiao Yeyang saw Daohua coming back, he immediately asked for help, "What is my son doing? He has been babbling to me for a long time."
Seeing her son pouting and looking unhappy, Daohua smiled and said, "You've encroached on his territory. The landslide wasn't very big to begin with, but once you got on it, most of it was gone. My son has no room to move around, so please don't protest."
Xiao Yeyang looked at the seat he occupied and moved to the side.
Sure enough, after a space was cleared for him, the little fat boy stopped making a fuss and started playing with his toys.
Xiao Yeyang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing this, Daohua smiled and said, "Spend more time with your son in the future, and you will know his habits." As she said that, she walked to the brocade stool beside the couch and sat down. Looking at Xiao Yeyang's thin face, she reached out and began to massage him.
"The war is over now. We don't have to travel around anymore, right?"
Xiao Yeyang's face was full of enjoyment: "No, this time the imperial court has severely punished the Western Liao Dynasty. The Western Liao Dynasty will not be able to recover in a short period of time."
Daohua was relieved: "That's good."
Xiao Yeyang: "By the way, my uncle the emperor ordered me to govern Xiliang, so we have to move."
Daohua: "Moving, moving to Liangdu?"
Xiao Yeyang hummed, "Liangdu is built on the plains. The conditions there are much better than those in Ganzhouwei."
Daohua nodded. She didn't care where they went. "I'll tell the servants to pack up later."
The little fat boy who was having fun nearby got a little angry when he saw that his mother was only talking to the people who were taking his territory and not playing with him. He immediately started babbling at the rice flowers.
Unfortunately, Daohua just nodded slightly, indicating that her son could play by himself. She didn't care too much and continued talking to Xiao Yeyang.
Xiao Yeyang thought his son was just playing around and ignored him.
"Wow~"
The two were talking engrossedly when the little fat boy suddenly cried out "wah", and Xiao Yeyang was so scared that he quickly sat up.
"What's wrong? Why is Rice crying?"
Daohua also quickly took the little fat boy into her arms to check on him. Seeing that he was not injured while playing with toys, she quickly asked softly, "Daozi, what's wrong?"
The little fat boy was lying on Daohua's shoulder, twitching, looking so pitiful.
Xiao Yeyang looked at the tears hanging on his son's eyelashes and felt distressed: "Is my son feeling unwell? Or should we ask Nanny to come and take a look?"
Her son rarely cried, and Daohua was a little worried that he was not feeling well, so she quickly asked the maid to invite Nanny Li over.
Nanny Li arrived a short while later. She checked on the little fat boy and said to Daohua and Xiao Yeyang, "Your Highness, Princess, the little prince is fine."
After Xiao Moxi was named the Crown Prince, Defu would call the fat boy "Little Prince" whenever he saw him. Once he started, everyone else in the mansion followed suit.
Xiao Yeyang frowned: "Then why did he start crying for no reason?"
Nanny Li was silent for a moment and asked what had just happened.
After listening to Daohua's story, Nanny Li laughed and said, "The young prince is being ignored by the prince and princess, and he's crying in protest."
After a pause, he said something a little unnaturally.
"It's a good thing that the prince and princess have a good relationship, but we can't ignore the little prince. He is still young and needs his parents' attention and love."
Daohua and Xiao Yeyang looked a little stiff, and they looked at the little fat boy with a look of grievance, feeling both amused and helpless.
After Nanny Li left, Xiao Yeyang looked at the fat boy who was clinging to the rice flowers and said, "This brat, it seems he's just vying for favor."
Daohua glanced at him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? My son just wants our attention."
After dinner, Xiao Yeyang chatted with Gu Jian for a while, and then sent Guo Ruomei and Chu Lang back to the yard. When he returned to the main courtyard, he found that Daohua and her son were already lying on the bed, and Daohua was telling a story to Daozi.
"Son wants to sleep with us?"
Daohua nodded: "When you are not at home, our son always sleeps with me."
Xiao Yeyang was silent for a moment, looking at the little fat boy rolling around on the bed, without saying anything, he turned around and went to wash up.
After Xiao Yeyang finished washing, he also went to bed.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he went up, the little fat boy became unhappy. He used his hands and feet to crawl to Xiao Yeyang and pushed Xiao Yeyang with his chubby hands, as if he wanted Xiao Yeyang to get off.
"You little bastard"
Xiao Yeyang lifted the fat boy up and sat him on his lap, pointing at the bed and saying, "This is your father's bed. You should be the one to get off. Do you understand? I haven't even kicked you out yet, but you're trying to kick me out."
The little fat boy continued to protest with a babbling sound, as if he realized that he was no match for the opponent. He quickly crawled towards the rice flower and then nestled in its arms and refused to come out.
Daohua smiled and patted her son's chubby butt, pointing at Xiao Yeyang and said, "This is your dad. We should sleep together."
The little fat boy tilted his head and looked at Xiao Yeyang. It was not known whether he understood or not, but he looked unhappy.
Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang and said, "You've come such a long way, lie down and have a rest. The child will sleep between us, so don't press him down."
Having said that, he paused.
"Forget it, let the child sleep inside so he doesn't get crushed by you."
Then, the family of three lay down on the bed.
Xiao Yeyang sleeps on the outside, Daohua sleeps in the middle, and the fat boy sleeps on the inside.
Xiao Yeyang had no objection to this. As soon as he turned over and hugged Daohua's waist, he met the little fat boy's dark eyes.
The little fat boy was particularly energetic today. He looked at Xiao Yeyang, then used his hands and feet to climb over the rice flowers and squeezed in between the two of them.
Xiao Yeyang had to move outward, and Daohua also slept in the innermost part.
When the little fat boy saw that his sleeping space was bigger, he looked left and right, and rolled back and forth with laughter.
Xiao Yeyang couldn't help but slapped the fat boy on the butt, which immediately resulted in a loud protest from the fat boy.
Daohua smiled as she watched the interaction between the father and son. Even though they hadn't seen each other for several months, her son still instinctively felt close to Xiao Yeyang. This must be the power of blood.
The little fat boy played for a while and then felt sleepy. Soon he fell asleep on Xiao Yeyang's chest.
"This brat!"
What Xiao Yeyang didn't expect was that today was just the beginning. In the following days, he would witness how clingy and domineering his son was.
Daohua didn't expect that Xiao Yeyang was right. Her son knew how to compete for favor when he was only about one year old.
