Chapter 197 Extra: Sweet Daily Life (I)
The queen's coronation ceremony ended.
Jiang Zhaoyue officially became the Queen of Dajin. Pei Jingzhou was busy with the front court, so she took over the harem.
At the beginning, both of them were unfamiliar with the matter. Fortunately, they were smart and eager to learn. They worked hard for a while and got everything on track. They finally had some free time and realized that they had not been with Yuan Yao for a long time.
"How long has it been?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
Pei Jingzhou said: "About three months."
"So long?!" Jiang Zhaoyue was shocked.
Pei Jingzhou nodded: "Yeah."
"Ah, have I neglected my son for so long?" Jiang Zhaoyue couldn't help feeling guilty.
Pei Jingzhou comforted him, "Don't you hug and kiss him every morning and evening?"
yes.
Jiang Zhaoyue was busy, but she played with her son for a while every morning and evening. She turned and asked, "What about you?"
"I... I really have ignored him for a long time." After Pei Jingzhou ascended the throne, the border states and the southwest had been stabilized. He began to implement new policies to benefit the people, which naturally touched the interests of some aristocratic families.
He pushed and comforted at the same time.
Every step is taken with extreme caution, which naturally takes a lot of energy and time.
Every time he opens his eyes, Yuan Yao is sleeping soundly; every time he comes back, Yuan Yao is still sleeping soundly.
Although he would pick up the sleeping little guy and kiss him every day, it seemed that he had not spoken to the little guy for a long time, and he couldn't help but feel infinite guilt in his heart.
"Let's go see him now." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
Pei Jingzhou nodded.
The two of them changed into comfortable clothes and went to Yongxiu Palace together. When they walked around the screen wall, they saw a white, tender, chubby, naked little baby running out of the main room.
Emperor Hong Qi, leaning on a cane in his left hand and clutching a red bellyband embroidered with a tiger head in his right, chased after him, calling out incoherently, "Yuan Yao, put on a bellyband."
"No! No!" Little kid Yuan Yao ran away without looking back.
"wear!"
“No!”
"wear!"
“No!”
The grandfather and grandson chased each other under the sun.
Emperor Hong Qi was so tired that sweat broke out on his forehead.
Yuan Yao chuckled.
Without Emperor Hong Qi's order, the palace servants did not dare to step forward.
Pei Jingzhou paused, took a closer look at the fair, tender, chubby, naked baby, and asked with a twitch of his lips, "Is that my son?"
"That's your son." Jiang Zhaoyue stopped.
Pei Jingzhou asked: "Why isn't he wearing any clothes?"
Jiang Zhaoyue asked back: "How would I know?"
"He's a bit naughty."
"right."
"But he was well-behaved and sensible when he was little."
"When was he a child? When?"
"Six, seven, eight, nine months."
"You can't walk or talk at that time, so you can't be naughty even if you want to, right?"
“…That’s true.”
The couple continued to look at the grandparents and grandchildren.
Eunuch Gao and others who were watching from the side saw the two and hurriedly bowed: "Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness."
Yuan Yao turned around upon hearing this and saw Jiang Zhaoyue and Pei Jingzhou. His eyes suddenly lit up: "Mother! Father!"
"Hey!" Jiang Zhaoyue responded.
"Mother! Father!" Yuan Yao ran towards Jiang Zhaoyue like a happy naked butterfly.
"Yuan Yao still recognizes me." Pei Jingzhou was surprised.
"It must be because of my father." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
"Father?"
"Well, my father must have always spoken well of you in front of him. I guess he took him to see you secretly, so he is not unfamiliar with you at all."
Pei Jingzhou suddenly woke up. One day, on his way to the Council Hall, he met Emperor Hong Qi playing with Yuan Yao. He didn't expect that the grandfather and grandson wanted to see him. He felt both sad and warm in his heart.
"Mother! Father!" Yuan Yao ran over.
Jiang Zhaoyue bent down and picked up the little guy.
The little guy hugged Jiang Zhaoyue's neck and kissed her on the face.
Jiang Zhaoyue gave him a kiss on his little cheek.
The little fellow leaned over to Pei Jingzhou with his chubby face: "Father, kiss me."
Pei Jingzhou had kissed Yuan Yao more than once, but with so many people present, he felt a little embarrassed.
"Give me a kiss." Jiang Zhaoyue directly put Yuan Yao's chubby little face to Pei Jingzhou's mouth and gave him a smacking sound.
Yuan Yao chuckled happily.
Pei Jingzhou was slightly startled, then smiled.
"Father, give me a hug." Yuan Yao stretched out his two little arms.
Pei Jingzhou held the naked little guy in his arms, then he remembered: "Why aren't you wearing any clothes?"
"Hot." Yuan Yao said openly.
Pei Jingzhou was suddenly speechless.
"You have to wear it even if it's hot." Hong Qidi walked over.
"No, no, no." Yuan Yao waved his little fleshy hands in resistance.
"Aren't you ashamed of being naked?" Pei Jingzhou said.
"It's not shameful, it's not shameful." Yuan Yao just refused to wear it.
"Wear a bellyband to protect your stomach and prevent it from catching a cold." Emperor Hong Qi coaxed.
"Not cold, not cold."
No matter what Hong Qidi and Pei Jingzhou said, Yuan Yao refused to wear clothes and insisted on being naked.
"Tell me about him." Pei Jingzhou had no choice but to ask Jiang Zhaoyue for help.
"What's there to say?" Jiang Zhaoyue reached out and pinched Yuan Yao's chubby butt, then quickly withdrew his hand.
"Ah." Yuan Yao touched his butt with his little fleshy hand and looked back.
Jiang Zhaoyue asked with concern, "What happened to Yuan Yao?"
"My butt hurts." Yuan Yao said in a baby voice.
"Where? Show it to mother." Jiang Zhaoyue pretended to know nothing.
"Jie." Yuan Yao couldn't see, so he touched it with his little fleshy hands.
"Oh my!" Jiang Zhaoyue asked in surprise, "Why is it red?"
"Red?" Yuan Yao was surprised.
Jiang Zhaoyue nodded: "Yes, why is it red?"
"Bugs!" Yuan Yao thought of bugs.
Jiang Zhaoyue followed up, "Did a bug bite your butt?"
Yuan Yao nodded: "Yeah!"
Jiang Zhaoyue made a distressed expression: "What should I do then?"
Yuan Yao raised his little fleshy hand: "Hit!"
"But the bug has already run away!" Jiang Zhaoyue pretended to look for it everywhere, and then concluded: "It really ran away, and I can't find it anymore."
Yuan Yao also looked around, but didn't see any bugs. He followed Jiang Zhaoyue and said, "Run!"
"Yes, what if it runs back and bites your butt again? Mother is so worried about you!" Jiang Zhaoyue frowned.
"Yi Yi! Yi Yi!" Yuan Yao reached out with his little fleshy hands to grab the red bellyband in Hong Qidi's hand.
"Here." Emperor Hong Qi gave it to him immediately.
Jiang Zhaoyue continued, "This bellyband can't protect my butt!"
Yuan Yao looked down and realized that he couldn't protect his butt. It was still bitten by bugs. He looked up at Eunuch Gao: "Gao! Yiyi!"
"Eunuch Gao, go and get the eldest prince's clothes!" Emperor Hong Qi said hurriedly.
"Yes." Eunuch Gao happily went to get the clothes.
Jiang Zhaoyue personally dressed the little guy and put on shoes.
Yuan Yao stood on the ground and said proudly, "Bugs! Don't bite!"
"Yes, bugs can't bite them!" Jiang Zhaoyue said.
Yuan Yao happily ran to Emperor Hong Qi: "Grandpa Emperor! Bugs! Can't bite!"
"Yes, yes, yes, the bugs can't bite our Yuan Yao anymore." Emperor Hong Qi smiled.
Pei Jingzhou looked at Jiang Zhaoyue and called out, "Chong Chong."
"What?" Jiang Zhaoyue admitted generously.
"You are so smart." Pei Jingzhou, like Hong Qidi, kept coaxing, persuading and reasoning with Yuan Yao, but he didn't realize that when a child becomes willful, it is difficult for him to accept these things.
Jiang Zhaoyue took a different approach and directly let the little one know the consequences of not wearing clothes, and the little one put on clothes willingly. It must be said that his wife is really smart.
"Of course!" Jiang Zhaoyue said proudly.
Pei Jingzhou said: "Yuan Yao looks like you."
"They say Yuan Yao looks exactly like you when you were a child."
Pei Jingzhou said, "My personality is just like yours."
"You mean thick-skinned?"
"The child is too young to be thick-skinned."
"Mother! Father! Guagua!" Yuan Yao ran over from beside Emperor Hong Qi.
"What melon?" Pei Jingzhou asked.
"We want to eat watermelon!" Emperor Hong Qi looked at Eunuch Gao and said, "Go get some watermelon."
Eunuch Gao personally brought a watermelon over.
"A whole one?" Pei Jingzhou asked.
The royal family was very meticulous. When eating a watermelon, they would cut it into pieces, remove the seeds, sprinkle it with sugar or honey, and put it on a wooden skewer before presenting it. Emperor Hong Qi wanted Yuan Yao to know what a watermelon looked like, so he asked Eunuch Gao to bring one over.
After that, Yuan Yao would only eat the watermelon after seeing the whole thing.
Jiang Zhaoyue explained to Pei Jingzhou.
"Gua Gua! Let me hug you!" Yuan Yao rushed over to hug Xigua.
Eunuch Gao gave the watermelon to Yuan Yao.
Yuan Yao hugged her and said hey hey hey.
"What a strong force!" Pei Jingzhou said.
Emperor Hong Qi's face was filled with pride.
With a "pop", the watermelon slipped from Yuan Yao's little fleshy hand and shattered into pieces.
Pei Jingzhou, Hong Qidi, Jiang Zhaoyue: "..."
Yuan Yao was stunned for a moment, then said in a baby voice, "It's okay, it's okay, you can eat it." He squatted down, grabbed a handful of watermelon flesh with his little fleshy hands, and ran to Pei Jingzhou: "Father! You eat it!"
