Chapter 273: Hoping Xiao Ba Has a Cute Name
Chapter 273: Hoping Xiao Ba Has a Cute Name
The eldest brother explained, and the second brother comforted her. Suisui soon accepted the gift and, following the same etiquette, politely expressed her gratitude to her second brother.
Feng Xuanyu suddenly felt embarrassed by his sister's sincere thanks.
He scratched his head, revealing a mouthful of white teeth as he laughed, "No problem, as long as my sister likes it. In the future, if Second Brother hunts for more, I'll set some aside for you too!"
Although Suisui found it a bit scary, her second brother had good intentions, so she happily nodded, "Okay, I'll be waiting, Second Brother."
After saying that, the child tilted her head in thought for a moment before adding, "Thank you, Second Brother."
The children soon gathered together happily again.
The box of folding fans that Feng Xuanze sent was just the thing for young ladies.
So, his sister couldn't put them down, even when held in her eldest brother's arms; she still couldn't resist reaching out to touch them.
Understanding the child's delight, Feng Xuanze helped his sister choose a fan for everyday use and let Suisui hold onto it as she pleased.
He asked Xiang Gugu to keep the rest for now, and Suisui could choose another one to use whenever she liked.
After all, there were so many.
If she didn't like any of them or had used and tired of them all, Feng Xuanze thought he could pick out some more for her.
Unlike Suisui, who preferred the folding fans her eldest brother gave her, the young masters naturally favored the bow Feng Xuanyu presented.
Being hot-blooded and impulsive young boys, they were naturally delighted and cherished such gifts.
Although the second brother had given them similar presents before,
This one was different!
The bow for Suisui was exceptionally small.
"It's so small and delicate; it really suits a young lady like her."
"Yeah, even I can draw it back. Hee hee, it's a great bow."
"With your little strength, you should save it for yourself."
"I can fully draw it!"
...
Feng Xuanrui and Feng Xuanbin were the main ones bickering.
After all, they were the youngest and close in age, so it was only natural for them to quarrel at the slightest disagreement.
Feng Xuanbo found these two a headache and quickly interjected.
And then...
He joined in, arguing with his two younger brothers.
With three of them quarreling, the situation became chaotic and uncontrollable.
Suisui was also caught up in the chaos, being carried by one brother and then another, touching Wolf Tooth and testing the bow.
Sitting not far away, Qi King watched this scene and couldn't help but smile and nod in satisfaction.
Seeing her husband in a good mood, Qi Queen casually reminded him, "Remember to visit Guo Niangniang today."
Qi King was quite obedient, and with his current cheerful mood, he readily agreed, "Speaking of which, Guagua mentioned before that Father Emperor would have many more sons in the future. I thought... "
I thought there wouldn't be any more.
But now, unexpectedly, another one has arrived.
It feels both surprising and delightful.
Although I was hoping for a daughter.
However, Qi King thought, since I have Suisui, I shouldn't be too greedy.
So, a son is fine too.
It's mainly because Suisui said it's a son.
Then it's most likely a son.
Sometimes, children can see things that adults can't.
The Eighth Young Master of the mansion...
He's not bad either.
I'll have to flip through some ancient books later and see if I can find a suitable character for a name for Little Eight.
The children played until they were exhausted, and Feng Xuanze and Feng Xuanyu had to get up early the next morning.
So, when she saw they were tired, Qi Queen began to usher them to rest.
Qi Queen thought that the children had been away for so long, and Concubine Ren must be missing them too.
So, as she encouraged the children to return to their rest, Qi Queen quietly said to Feng Xuanyu, "If you miss your mother, go back to the Eastern Court to sleep."
Within the Eastern Court, there were also quite a few rooms.
Although it was customary for children to sleep separately from their mother as they grew older, it was simply a matter of sleeping in the neighboring room and chatting a bit more. Nothing too unusual.
Feng Xuanyu obediently nodded, "I understand, Mother."
Initially, Feng Xuanbo didn't want to return to his mother's quarters.
The scent there was simply too overwhelming!
Every time Feng Xuanbo went there, he couldn't help but be enveloped by the fragrance.
As a young man, it just didn't seem right to be so intensely perfumed.
Hence, he refused to go!
However, when he saw that his second brother intended to go, he changed his mind.
The two brothers took a turn, and soon they arrived at the Eastern Court.
Seeing this, Feng Xuanbin also ran and jumped, expressing his desire to find their mother.
Feng Xuanjie and Feng Xuancang exchanged a glance, and then silently followed behind. After all, it was the first day of the month, and their father was unlikely to visit the Eastern Court on such a day.
So, they decided to accompany their respective mothers as well.
Everyone ended up going to their birth mother's quarters, leaving only Feng Xuanze and Feng Xuanrui in the main courtyard.
Feng Xuanrui looked perplexed, "Why is everyone suddenly going back to their mother's place?"
Being the older brother, Feng Xuanze was more accustomed to the separation.
Hence, he was indifferent to whether he slept in the southern court or remained in the main courtyard.
However, judging by Feng Xuanrui's expression, it was clear that he preferred staying in the main estate.
In the end, the two brothers didn't leave either.
Although Qi King was reluctant to part with Suisui, he had promised the Queen earlier, and with so many children in the room, he eventually had to leave reluctantly, giving Suisui one last tight hug before taking his leave, turning back with a heavy heart and reluctant steps.
Feng Xuanze couldn't understand why his father didn't stay in the main courtyard today. Feng Xuanze was perplexed but wouldn't dare to ask, lest his mother become upset. On the other hand, Feng Xuanrui didn't have such concerns, and he boldly inquired, "Is Father going to see Little Eight?"
Feng Xuanze:?
Little Eight?
There were only seven young masters in their mansion.
Including their sister Suisui, that made eight children in total.
If they were talking about Little Eight, then it should refer to Suisui.
Feng Xuanze's mind was filled with confusion as he glanced at his mother, wanting to ask but feeling hesitant.
Fortunately, the Queen understood her son's dilemma and smiled as she lifted Suisui, "Yes, he's gone to see Little Eight. Concubine Guo is newly pregnant, and the fetus seems stable now that it's been three months. It's likely that the pregnancy is secure now, but Concubine Guo has a weak constitution, so extra care is needed to reassure her and benefit Little Eight as well."
So, one of the concubines in the rear court was indeed pregnant.
This news came as a surprise.
Feng Xuanze was taken aback for a moment, and he thought...
Which one was Concubine Guo again?
His father had been seeking a daughter in recent years, leading to a rapid turnover of women in the rear court.
As the young master of the mansion, it wasn't appropriate for him to pay too much attention to his father's harem. Thus, apart from the two Concubines he was familiar with and a few long-serving concubines, he wasn't well-acquainted with the other women.
At this moment, even with his mother bringing it up, Feng Xuanze couldn't recall her appearance, age, or background.
Suisui had never witnessed childbirth, and Concubine Guo had treated her well, even going out of her way to get her a peace charm.
So, upon hearing this news from her mother, Suisui couldn't contain her excitement, "I'm going to have a little brother! I hope Little Eight will be adorable."
If this were a story from her uncle's household, it would undoubtedly be a ghost story.
Having another younger brother would only mean one more person to bully her.
However, if it were in her own family...
It would undoubtedly be a delightful matter!
Suisui cautiously entertained the thought: I hope Little Eight turns out to be adorable.
He must be adorable!
