“It’s not a big problem that he can’t walk or talk at this age; many children can’t. But I heard that the eldest grandson of the emperor doesn’t even recognize his parents yet. What else could he be but a fool?”
"I also heard that when he was throwing a tantrum, the Crown Princess went to discipline him, but he scratched her face with his fingernails, leaving a long scar!"
"Such a thing could happen? This child is too vicious. I heard that the Crown Princess had a very difficult time giving birth to him, and she went through a life-or-death experience. Is this child here for revenge?"
Everyone sighed in admiration, and then praised Yun Yinzhou once again.
Ji Mingwei listened silently and politely echoed her words, without much reaction. After returning to the capital with Yun Xun, she had not yet visited the Crown Prince's residence.
When they were demoted, the two sides had already broken off relations. She and Yunxun both felt that going to the Crown Prince's residence at this time would only be inviting bad luck, so they refused to go.
These days, after hearing that Xiao Bao is mentally challenged, Ji Mingwei couldn't have been happier.
"Back when Ye Qingxue was so arrogant, she probably never imagined she would give birth to a stupid son, right? So what if he's the eldest grandson of the emperor? He's just a fool!" Ji Mingwei sneered inwardly.
She and Yun Xun still didn't visit the Crown Prince's residence, but in private, Ji Mingwei began to look for a teacher, determined to properly cultivate Yun Yinzhou and make him a child prodigy, leaving Xiao Bao far behind.
Now that her son is favored by the emperor, he might be able to bypass the crown prince and become the imperial grandson directly.
No, perhaps we can use the fact that Xiao Bao is an idiot to pull Yun Zhuo down from the position of Crown Prince.
Excellent! Xiao Bao is an idiot, which is perfect for them. He can become the best entry point for them to attack the Crown Prince's residence!
...
When Princess Yu visited Ye Qingxue at the Crown Prince's residence, she saw the long red marks on Ye's face and couldn't help but reach out to gently touch them, feeling very distressed: "It must have hurt a lot back then, right?"
Ye Qingxue said, "It's not a big problem, it will be fine after a few days of rest."
The matter is neither a big deal nor a small one.
Xiao Bao doesn't eat properly, but that's not the main point. The main point is that he spills food everywhere and seems to enjoy it. Ye Qingxue believes that wasting food is a matter of principle and must be stopped.
Xiao Bao had a fit of temper and scratched a deep, bleeding gash on her face. Ye Qingxue grabbed his arms and wouldn't let go, no matter how much he twisted and kicked.
Xiao Bao cried so hard he almost passed out. Ye Qingxue let go of him, and he scrambled away as if Ye Qingxue were some kind of demon, and he was terrified.
Looking at his face, which resembled that of a five-year-old child, Ye Qingxue felt her heart being torn apart again and again.
—I knew you would come, but the wait was as painful as being cut by a dull knife.
How long will we have to wait? A year? Or ten years?
"What I mean is, you must be in a lot of pain inside, right?" Princess Yu finally couldn't help but say.
Ye Qingxue was stunned.
Princess Yu comforted him, "I've seen children like that before. When they're one or two years old, they don't understand anything you say. They're naughty and unreasonable, but they gradually get better. He's only one year old, so let's wait for him."
Ye Qingxue smiled and said, "I've always believed he'll be a normal child, so don't worry, Aunt Yu."
Princess Yu took a deep breath, thinking that she was forcing a smile, but parents can never be careless when it comes to their children.
She could only say, "Great people are slow to speak. I have seen children who didn't start speaking until they were four or five years old. They are not stupid. Some of them are even smarter than their peers."
Ye Qingxue looked at Princess Yu and said firmly, "Aunt Yu, I really believe in him, so please don't worry too much! Xiao Bao is fine, and I'm fine too!"
She was just heartbroken in many moments, but it's impossible to say that she was desperate about Xiaobao.
His mere existence brought her immense happiness and joy.
In the days that followed, Ye Qingxue never gave up on him for a single day. She taught him to walk, to talk, to use the toilet, to wash his hands and face, and to put on his clothes, pants, and shoes.
From the age of one to three, for a full two years and seven hundred and twenty days, Ye Qingxue never missed a day. When Yun Zhuo returned from his busy work outside, he also spent the most time with him...
Before we knew it, Xiao Bao had crossed the threshold of three years old.
