Chapter 263: A Mother's Warmth
Chapter 263: A Mother's Warmth
Soon after, Qi Wang regretted his decision to let Feng Xuanrui stay.
Because...
Feng Xuanrui was just too mischievous!
He took Suisi back to bed, and at first, he seriously taught her sister basic knowledge. They recited quite a bit of the Three-Character Classic, and Suisi learned diligently.
But as they studied, the two of them started to play with the threads of the quilt.
Feng Xuanrui tugged on a thread, finding it entertaining, and Suisi joined him.
By the time Qi Wang realized something was amiss...
One side of the quilt had been completely unraveled.
Qi Wang: ...
He quickly had someone bring a new quilt and again reminded Feng Xuanrui to calm down.
Feng Xuanrui obeyed, but only slightly.
Then, he started jumping on the bed with Suisi.
[System]: Seeing this, it thought...
It's about time to introduce soft and bouncy mattresses.
However, it's best for children to not sleep on beds that are too soft, as their bones are still developing.
So, we can wait a little longer.
How soft can a bed be with just a quilt on it?
When Feng Xuanrui jumped, the bed made loud, dull sounds.
Qi Wang: ...!
Save me! Can't they stay still, even for a moment?
The two children finally tired themselves out and went to sleep.
Fortunately, they had already bathed before getting into bed, and although they were sweaty, they weren't too dirty. Since they were exhausted, they fell asleep quickly, and Qi Wang couldn't complain.
However, the bed was only so big, and with the two children on it, Qi Wang tried different angles but found that if he got on the bed, the Queen wouldn't be able to, and if she did, he wouldn't be able to.
Qi Wang: ?
Qi Wang was so angry that he pinched his waist, and finally, in a fit of rage, he picked up Feng Xuanrui and took him to a side hall.
After settling Feng Xuanrui in the side hall and covering him with a quilt, Qi Wang returned to the bedroom.
He didn't stay long, only checking on Suisi before reluctantly turning to leave.
At the door, Qi Wang said a few words to the Queen.
He was afraid that if he squeezed in, the Queen and the children wouldn't sleep well, and he was also worried about leaving Little Six alone in the side hall. In the end, Qi Wang left for the side hall, glancing back repeatedly as he went.
Feng Xuanrui, who had dreamed of sleeping with his sister, woke up the next day to his father's familiar face...
Although his father's beard was trimmed and his face was clean,
that wasn't what he wanted to see!
If he hadn't needed to urgently use the bathroom, he would have definitely said something to his father.
How did he end up outside? Where was his sister?
He wanted to see his big sister!
At breakfast, Feng Xuanrui was still upset about this.
Qi Wang chuckled, but Feng Xuanrui didn't want to pay attention to him. He turned his head away in a huff but had to turn back again because he wanted to see his sister.
However, he wouldn't look at his father!
His sister was cute and good.
His father was bad for not letting him sleep with his sister!
Qi Wang didn't get angry. He chuckled and coaxed this one and then the other.
After coaxing them for a while, Suisi had finished her breakfast.
Qi Wang felt a little regretful that he hadn't been able to feed her himself.
In his daily life, Qi Wang didn't need to attend court.
Usually, if there was a need for his presence, His Majesty would send someone to notify him one or two days in advance.
So, today, Qi Wang was still idle as usual.
However, that evening, the two young masters of the manor were returning home for a visit.
Since they only came back once a month, Qi Wang valued this opportunity greatly.
Early one morning, the Princess of Qi was busy as people from Zhuangzi delivered various foodstuffs. She personally inspected the items, checking if anything was missing, and even requested that they send over any missing items in the afternoon.
The people from Zhuangzi were aware that the two young masters of the manor would be returning home by the end of the month, so they made sure to send over all the necessary provisions, following the usual practice from the previous month.
If anything was missing, they could always make another trip in the afternoon.
Qi Wang, the Prince of Qi, also wanted to accompany Suisi, but her little friends had arrived, and they were all going to the children's classroom.
Qi Wang was both concerned about his two sons returning home and wanted to spend time with Suisi. As he hesitated, Suisi happily took her sister, Tangtang's hand, and bid farewell to her father.
Qi Wang: "...! I only hesitated for a moment!"
As the children were about to leave, the Princess of Qi called out to Feng Xuanrui.
Feng Xuanrui, puzzled but delighted, approached her and received a handmade purse from his mother. It was not particularly well-crafted, but it was made with love.
Feng Xuanrui: "?"
He could have refused, but he didn't want to upset his mother. Feng Xuanrui still remembered the last time he wore a pair of pants sewn by her. The threads had loosened within half a day, and if there hadn't been an extra layer, his bare bottom would have been exposed! While this was just a purse, he wasn't too keen on having it.
However, the Princess of Qi felt guilty for favoring Suisi recently and wanted to make it up to her son. So, she had taken the time to sew what she thought was a beautiful purse and couldn't wait to give it to Feng Xuanrui.
If it weren't for the children's playtime the night before, she would have had him wear it then.
Feng Xuanrui's face scrunched up unhappily, while Qi Wang stood by, stifling his laughter.
Hearing Qi Wang's stifled laughter, the Princess of Qi shot him a glare before turning back to Feng Xuanrui with a loving expression. "My dear child, your mother made this with her own hands. Do you like it?"
Feng Xuanrui: "......!"
He didn't dare say he didn't like it, but the Princess of Qi could sense her son's reluctance, and it hurt her.
"If you don't like it, you can always give it to your sister later," she said, softening her tone.
There was no way such an ugly thing would ever be seen on Suisi! she thought to herself.
Although Feng Xuanrui didn't want to accept the purse, he couldn't bring himself to refuse his mother's gift, a token of her maternal love.
However, when she mentioned giving it to his sister, he shook his head vigorously, leaving an afterimage in the air. "No, what's mine is mine, and I won't give it to my sister."
Feng Xuanrui thought to himself, "I'll wear this ugly thing myself, but I won't let it ruin my sister's appearance. She needs to look her best to show those superficial, two-faced nobles in the capital who's boss!"
With tears in his eyes, Feng Xuanrui reluctantly put on the purse his mother had made.
After securing it, he remembered to say awkwardly, "Thank you, Mother."
Relieved that her son had put on the purse, the Princess of Qi gently caressed Feng Xuanrui's head. "Good boy, now off you go to the children's classroom."
Feng Xuanrui quickly caught up with his brothers.
They were curious as to why he had lagged behind, but Feng Xuanrui didn't want to share the story of his ugly purse.
However, Feng Xuanbo's sharp eyes spotted it, and he asked with a smile, "Hey, Little Six, what's that?"
