"Born in the eleventh lunar month, this little princess is destined for a blessed future!"
Yun Beiye was very pleased to hear everyone praising his daughter.
Yun Duoduo silently waved her hand in her heart, telling herself not to flatter her, not to call her a reincarnation of a lucky star, and not to accuse her of being a witch who brought disaster to the country. She was just an ordinary little baby who loved to eat and drink.
Besides, she really couldn't understand the thought process of her uncle and aunt. Being born in the winter month when it's freezing cold, what does that have to do with good fortune?
After standing there for an hour, Zhao Zhongquan whispered a few words in Yun Beiye's ear. Yun Beiye then gave Jin Jinzhi a wink and left Anqing Palace.
Upon seeing Yun Beiye leave Anqing Palace, Jin Jinzhi, Xue Deyi, and Xiao Jinyu became extremely attentive, paying close attention to the actions of everyone on the field.
A moment later, Yun Beiye walked in with someone, chatting and laughing.
"Bei Ming, it's been so long! I thought you wouldn't be coming back this year!" Yun Beiye looked at the man beside him with great joy.
Yun Beiming looked slightly younger than Yun Beiye, and was exceptionally handsome. The two looked somewhat alike, and their height and build were also similar. From behind, they seemed to be the same person.
He was the third son in Yun Beiye's generation, and was Yun Beiye's younger brother. He was skilled in both literature and martial arts and also knew medicine. He was once one of the best candidates for the throne. However, everyone has their own ambitions. His ambition was not for the throne, so he did not compete for this supreme throne. Instead, he turned to support Yun Beiye.
Therefore, Yun Beiye also liked this younger brother of the emperor very much.
After Yun Beiye ascended the throne, his half-brothers traveled to various countries. This third uncle was Yun Beiye's third brother. Because he loved the eldest princess of Shu, but could not have her, he lived in Shu for many years.
"I heard that Your Majesty has had a daughter, so I came back to see my little niece!" Yun Beiming said affectionately, linking arms with Yun Beiye, chatting and laughing all the way.
The palace maids and eunuchs standing on both sides were very surprised that the former Third Prince, Prince Ning, who had been away for many years, had actually returned!
It seems things are about to get lively in the palace.
As they were talking, Yun Beiming stumbled, as if he had tripped over something and almost fell to the ground. Yun Beiye, who was beside him, pulled him up just in time.
"Ouch, that hurts my knee so much!" Yun Beiming bent over, holding his knee and wincing in pain.
"Which damned bastard put a stool in the middle of the road for no reason? Don't let me catch him!" Yun Beiming cursed and grimaced as he looked around, hoping to find the culprit who had put the stool in the middle of the road and almost made him fall.
Hearing the commotion, the palace maids and eunuchs in Anqing Palace all looked over. When they saw that something had tripped Prince Ning, they all quickly lowered their heads. Two eunuchs braced themselves and walked over to move the stool that was blocking their way.
"Hey, be careful, everyone. Today we've all met some very important people, the very elites of Nanyang. If you get hurt or injured, you'll all be in deep trouble!" Zhao Zhongquan whispered to the eunuch, pulling on his ear and telling him to be careful in his work.
"Should we call the imperial physician?" Yun Beiye could tell from his expression that he was in a lot of pain.
"It's alright, it's alright, taking care of my niece is the priority!" Yun Beiming gritted his teeth, rubbed his aching knees, and hopped over to Yun Duoduo's cradle.
He is a doctor himself, and he could tell that the bump wasn't serious and the pain would subside after a while.
"Duoduo, this is your third imperial uncle!" Yun Beiye happily introduced him to Yun Duoduo.
"Beiming, our daughter's name is Duoduo!" Yun Beiye turned to look at Yun Beiming and excitedly said the little princess's name.
When Yun Duoduo heard her father’s voice, she turned her little head to look at him. She saw a handsome and extraordinary man standing next to him.
Wow, so handsome!
This is what a mature man should be like—not greasy at all! He even has a unique, mature, and nonchalant charm!
[The Third Imperial Uncle? So he's her father's brother. Her whole family is so good-looking!]
The whole family is good-looking; I imagine she'll be just as good-looking when she grows up!
[The Northern Sea? Could it be the Northern Sea where a fish named Kun lives, so large that its size is immeasurable?]
Wow, look at that name, it's so cool!
Yun Duoduo stretched out her two little paws, gesturing for Yun Beiming to hug her.
Seeing Yun Duoduo's beaming face, Yun Beiming took her out of the cradle. "The little baby smells so good and is so soft. She's just different from other babies!"
[The Third Imperial Uncle smells wonderful too; the faint herbal scent on him is very pleasant!]
“Our little girl’s longevity lock around her neck and the red jade bracelet on her wrist are really beautiful.” Yun Beiming looked at Yun Duoduo’s little face, and then touched the white jade longevity lock around her neck and the red jade bracelet on her wrist.
The jade has a very smooth and soft luster, and it feels warm to the touch; it is clearly of excellent quality.
"That's right, I prepared this myself," Yun Beiye said proudly.
"Here, this is for Duoduo, it's a gift from your royal uncle!" Yun Beiming stuffed a copper piece into Yun Duoduo's hand.
When Yun Beiye saw Yun Beiming's gift, he was a little unhappy. "I say, Third Brother, you're being too stingy. You're stuffing our daughter with junk?"
"Didn't you write to me saying you wanted to raise our daughter in luxury? As her uncle, you should at least give her a small gold box, not a little treasury. Giving her just a broken copper piece is really insincere!" Yun Beiye complained that Yun Beiming's 100-day gift was too perfunctory.
"How can a prince be so shabby?" Yun Beiye looked at him with disdain.
"Brother, you know me too. I'm just a lazy prince with no proper business. I have to buy gifts for my sweetheart every month. How can I possibly save any money?" Yun Beiming said with a grin.
"Besides, with a father as rich as the emperor, our daughter is sure to never have to worry about food or drink!" Yun Beiming said with a smile, ignoring Yun Beiye's disdain and complaints.
“You know you don’t have a proper business. We’ve already told you to come back and get a job at the Imperial Hospital, but you insist on living off others outside.”
"Still thinking about that princess of Shu? Third brother, why hang yourself on one tree?" Yun Beiye shook his head helplessly, unable to understand why his brother, with such good looks and talent, would choose to stay with that eccentric princess of Shu.
“Brother, you don’t understand.” Yun Beiming shook his head.
Yun Duoduo wasn't very interested in her Third Imperial Uncle's love story at the moment. There was plenty of time in the future for her to slowly learn about the handsome Third Imperial Uncle's romantic escapades.
But at this moment, what interested her most was naturally the small copper piece in her hand!
