Chapter 274: Today, Su Su is at Her Most Adorable
"Oh?" Feng Xuanze said upon hearing this.
"A younger brother?"
He had expected that, since his father had wished for a daughter, it would be a little sister.
As the older and more rational sibling, Feng Xuanze had initially treated Su Su with the courtesy and politeness befitting an older brother.
Now that he had met her in person and found her adorable, his impression of his little sister had improved.
When he had heard Xiao Ba earlier, Feng Xuanze had been thinking that if his father's wish for a daughter came true, it would be fulfilling his heart's desire.
However, having a young master would also be pretty good.
Su Su was one of a kind.
The more time Feng Xuanze spent with Su Su, the more he felt that having her as his only sister was quite nice. She enjoyed the undivided love and affection of everyone, without another sister to share it with.
With these thoughts in mind, Feng Xuanze raised his hand and gently patted Su Su's little head.
Su Su was already tired by now, so she went with her aunt to wash up.
Feng Xuanze and Feng Xuanrui stayed to chat with their mother for a while longer before they also went to freshen up and prepare for bed.
Aunt Qiu had already prepared rooms for the two young masters and arranged all their belongings.
This included the things Feng Xuanze needed to take with him back to the academy tomorrow, as well as the items Feng Xuanrui would require if he were to attend the banquet tomorrow.
The servants were bustling about, and it was only after the queen and the children had retired for the night that they finally had some time to rest.
Those on night watch kept watch, while the others seized the opportunity to get some sleep.
They had to attend the banquet at the Marquis of Fuyang's residence tomorrow, so they needed to stay alert and avoid any mishaps.
The next day, just as the sky was brightening, Feng Xuanze and Feng Xuanyu got up, got ready, and took their belongings before boarding the carriage back to the academy.
They left the city as soon as the gates opened and made their way back to the academy, arriving just in time for the first class of the day.
Queen Qi saw them off, but King Qi was unwell and was sleeping in Consort Guo's courtyard, so she didn't send anyone to invite him.
After seeing the two young masters off, Queen Qi returned but didn't go to bed right away. Instead, she asked Aunt Qiu about the preparations for today.
The gifts and such would have been prepared long ago, and Uncle Li, the steward, had inspected them several times and consulted with the king before finalizing everything.
As for the children who would be accompanying them today, Su Su would definitely be going, and Queen Qi also wanted to bring Feng Xuanrui.
If Xiao Liu went, then Xiao Qi would most likely insist on tagging along as well.
Although Xiao Qi was a son of the king by a concubine, he was still a prince of the kingdom, and it wouldn't do to leave him behind while bringing the others.
With more children, there would be more to keep an eye on.
The king would be busy entertaining guests in the front courtyard, so he wouldn't have time to pay attention to them. Many things would depend on Queen Qi to arrange.
"Make sure everyone stays alert. If we really bring the two young masters, keep an eye on them and don't let them wander off or bump into anyone."
"I heard that there will be princesses and princes from the palace as well. Make sure our children don't cause any trouble for them."
...
Queen Qi gave instruction after instruction, thinking of every possible scenario.
The servants hurriedly assured her that they would do as she said.
When morning came, Su Su woke up, and Queen Qi smiled as she helped the little girl wash her face and get dressed.
Su Su's hair seemed to have grown a little longer.
It was a pity that it was still too short to even tie into a tiny ponytail, so she still had to wear a hat.
The outfit prepared for Su Su today was a water-pink ensemble. It consisted of a thin layer of fine cotton underneath, with two layers of sheer fabric draped over it.
The middle layer was a thin peach-colored chiffon, and the outer layer was a water-pink chiffon with floral motifs on the sides, creating a beautiful gradient effect.
The entire outfit looked soft and delicate, perfect for a little child.
Of course, there was also a spare set of clothes, just in case there were any unexpected accidents; a quick change of wardrobe would be possible.
Su Su now had many little hats.
Queen Qi chose one from the middle, a light pink base with an embroidered small square hat featuring a blooming peach blossom.
The hat was also adorned with two rows of pearls, and the dangling tassels were accented with tiny pearls, creating a look that was both elegant and luxurious.
Queen Qi felt that this little hat perfectly complemented Su Su's outfit for the day.
With everything ready, Queen Qi also selected outfits for Feng Xuanrui and Feng Xuanbin.
Regardless of whether they were going or not, outfits had to be chosen.
The two young boys each had a unique style: one in a snow-green long shirt and the other in a bamboo-green long shirt.
One outfit emphasized nobility, while the other exuded a playful vibe.
Once Su Su's outfit was changed, Qi Wang finally got up and got ready as well.
He wore a jade-green long shirt today, with a layer of crimson sheer clothing over it.
The crimson sheer fabric was extremely thin, so the inner long shirt's color subtly showed through, often overshadowing the outer layer.
However, it was only overshadowed, and one's eyes would certainly not ignore its presence.
Seeing his outfit, Queen Qi was about to ask: "Why are you dressed so festively?"
But then she thought, today was the Marquis of Fuyang's birthday banquet, so it was only fitting to dress joyously.
However...
It was a bit too festive, wasn't it?
Qi Wang didn't mind these things; he walked over, opened his arms, and said, "My dear, adorable child, you are the most beautiful one here today!"
As he spoke, he reached out and hugged the child. Today, he had shaved his beard, getting rid of that little tuft of hair, making him look even more handsome and youthful.
At this moment, Su Su finally stopped avoiding him and responded to his affection.
"Father," Su Su called out sweetly, and then she gently wrapped her arms around his neck.
Seeing this, Queen Qi felt a twinge of jealousy. If the king had gotten up a little earlier, she could have been the one to hug Su Su and feed her breakfast.
However, never mind.
She wouldn't fight him for it.
Soon after, Queen Qi followed behind Qi Wang and Su Su as they made their way to the dining hall.
She wore a stylish crossed-collar dress today, a slim short jacket in lotus pink, paired with a wisteria-colored pleated skirt, and a layer of goldenrod-colored sheer clothing over it.
The outfit exuded elegance and nobility while also providing a cooling effect.
After breakfast, Qi Wang inquired about the young masters who would be accompanying them to the Marquis' residence.
While Feng Xuancang and the others wanted to go, they were concerned about their young age and their ability to handle the situation.
So, after some consideration and discussion among themselves, they ultimately shook their heads and declined.
However, Feng Xuanrui didn't mind either way. He thought to himself, "If my sister is going, then I'll go too."
So, after his brothers thought about it and declined, he considered it for a moment and then said, "I want to go with my sister."
Hearing this, Feng Xuanbin immediately nodded and said, "Me too, me too!"
Feng Xuanbo looked at the situation and couldn't very well leave his brother behind.
"I'll go too, I'll go too!"
...
Now that five of the young masters were going, it wouldn't do to leave the other two behind.
Qi Wang thought about it and then waved his hand, saying, "Everyone, then."
Queen: ...
Never mind, the young masters would be with the king, and her pressure wouldn't be that great... right?
Why did she feel so uneasy then?
For younger children like Feng Xuanrui, she would definitely be accompanying them.
With these thoughts in mind, the pressure of expanding their social circle and making sure they behaved appropriately suddenly felt overwhelming.
However, bringing them along would also be a good opportunity for them to gain more experience and broaden their horizons.
So, on second thought, this kind of occasion was actually quite necessary for them.
The king would be busy entertaining guests in the front courtyard, so he wouldn't have time to pay attention to the children. Many things would depend on Queen Qi to arrange.
"Make sure everyone stays alert. If we really bring the two young masters, keep an eye on them and don't let them wander off or bump into anyone."
"I heard that there will be princesses and princes from the palace as well. Make sure our children don't cause any trouble for them."
...
Queen Qi gave instruction after instruction, thinking of every possible scenario.
The servants hurriedly assured her that they would heed her words.
When morning came, Su Su woke up, and Queen Qi smiled as she helped the little girl wash her face and get dressed.
Su Su's hair seemed to have grown a little longer.
It was a pity that it was still too short to even tie into a tiny ponytail, so she still had to wear a hat.
The outfit prepared for Su Su today was a water-pink ensemble. It consisted of a thin layer of fine cotton underneath, with two layers of sheer fabric draped over it.
