Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager sighed again and shook her head, saying, “When you get older, you tend to be sentimental. I just thought, if your brother were still alive, how interesting it would be if the three of them, the grandfather and grandson, stood together with the same eyebrows and eyes.”
After hearing this, the Emperor was silent for a moment.
The Empress advised gently, “If the Sixth Brother knew that there was a successor to the Rui Palace, he would definitely be very happy. He has always been filial, how could he bear to make Mother worried about this?”
After she spoke, other concubines dared to speak out to comfort her. With everyone talking at once, the palace became lively again.
The Empress Dowager smiled and said, “I was thinking wrong. It’s a good day to have a baby. We shouldn’t talk about sad things. Emperor, look, isn’t this child stronger than his father? He will definitely grow up to be a man of great stature in the future.”
The Emperor looked down, picked him up, and rocked him gently. Then he nodded and said, “Yes, he has gained a lot of weight. His father was as skinny as a monkey back then.”
The Empress Dowager laughed and scolded, “How can you talk about your nephew like that? The child has just fallen asleep. Don’t wake him up.”
Su Yi looked at King Rui next to him.
He was as strong as a King Kong now. How could he have been a skinny monkey in the past?
King Rui noticed her gaze, but without turning his head, he quietly pinched her with the hand hanging by his side.
Su Yi was not willing to be outdone, so she pinched him back.
The two of them were like three-year-old children, going back and forth, having a lot of fun.
Other people in the palace were surprised that the Emperor was holding King Rui’s son.
It would be fine if it was the Empress Dowager. She was a kind old lady and had held all of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, whether legitimate or illegitimate.
His Majesty was different.
It has always been emphasized that a gentleman embraces his sons but not his grandsons.
Moreover, he is the king of a country and has always been quite majestic in front of the princes. He rarely hugs those princes, let alone praises them. Even now, when the adult princes see him, they still respect him and dare not be presumptuous.
Later, the Emperor’s grandchildren were born one after another. His Majesty only held the eldest grandchild once when he was one month old. The other emperor’s grandchildren did not have this treatment.
How could the son of King Rui, who was just a nephew, make him an exception?
His Majesty has always favored King Rui. Could it be that even the little prince is particularly favored by him?
The Rui Palace really has a lot of favor from the Emperor. Many people feel jealous because of this.
The Emperor seemed not to notice the mood swings of the crowd. He took the child over and looked at it for a while. Seeing that it was already asleep, he handed it to the wet nurse.
The Empress Dowager invited King Rui’s family to have lunch before asking them to leave the palace.
Although there was an extra child, Su Yi’s life was still the same as before.
Mao Tuan was surrounded by a large group of wet nurses, maids, and old nannies, so she, as a mother, didn’t need to do anything.
On the contrary, it was King Rui who surprised her a little.
It was obvious that he really disliked children. He disliked the fact that his son cried with tears and snot and was always pooping, peeing, and drooling.
But even though he disliked him, he often held him in his arms, and sometimes, he teased him with an expressionless face. The little ones did not buy it and also responded with an expressionless face.
This made Su Yi couldn’t help but think about Mao Tuan’s immature personality in the last world.
Could it be that he learned from his father and became expressionless this time?
As the old saying goes, children grow up with the wind. After a child is born, he changes every day. From crying for food to learning to walk, it seems to be just the blink of an eye.
It was early summer again, and the lotus flowers on the lake had just revealed their graceful buds. The coquettish little maids in the palace could not wait to put on bright summer clothes.
Su Yi sat in the pavilion, leaning on the railing, with the breeze blowing on her face.
In the open space outside the pavilion, two little kids, a boy and a girl, were playing surrounded by their wet nurse and maids.
The little girl was Qing Lian’s daughter.
She had just learned to walk independently. Every time she walked, her short legs bounced up and down, and the white flesh on her face trembled, which looked particularly adorable.
Su Yi loved to tease her with a piece of cake and watch her stagger over to her.
