“Young Madam, do you want to ask the Princess Consort?” Uncle Wan asked. “Yes.” Yu Wan nodded. “The Princess Consort gave birth, right?”
Uncle Wan said, “She gave birth in July. It’s a fat boy. The mother and child are very safe.”
Yu Wan smiled sincerely. “That’s good!” Suddenly, she thought of something and her smile paused. “Father…”
Uncle Wan lowered his head and sighed. “His Highness isn’t well.”
The process of the Princess Consort giving birth was not smooth. At that time, the Prince had already arrived in the Capital. Actually, he could not tell. Did the Prince go to the Capital so early to plant herbs for Young Master or to protect the Princess Consort from giving birth? The Princess Consort had a difficult labor for three days and three nights. The Prince did not eat or drink and sent all the famous doctors he brought from Yan City to the Xiao Manor.
His Highness did not say that he was the one who sent them. He had asked an old minister under him to do it.
The Princess Consort gave birth to a son, and good news came. The Prince’s tense expression finally relaxed, but he did not return to his room to rest. He sat in the study all night.
Uncle Wan was in Yan City. He knew that Prince Yan was looking for a famous doctor, but many of the other things were told to him in letters from the servants of the Young Master Manor. However, even if he did not see it with his own eyes, it was not difficult for him to feel the pain in the Prince’s heart.
He was still Prince Yan, but the Princess Consort was no longer the Princess Consort.
Uncle Wan took a deep breath. “His Highness… is too difficult.”
In the middle of September, the navy arrived near the capital. This was a new dock. Actually, it was closer to Lotus Flower Town, but Yu Wan decided to bring the three little black eggs back to the Young Master Manor with Yan Jiuchao first.
The Four Seasons Osmanthus in the Young Master Manor had bloomed. Prince Yan was painting in the study. The woman in the painting was dressed in red and had gentle eyebrows. She was carrying a fair-skinned little boy in her arms. The little boy was asleep. The woman looked at him gently with stars in her eyes.
When he drew the last few strokes, Prince Yan lowered his eyes. His hand paused in midair, but he could not make this stroke no matter what. He gripped the brush tightly. Because he used too much strength, his body trembled slightly.
Plop.
A drop of ink dripped down and landed on the woman’s white embroidered shoe. The woman’s smile was like a flower, but the ink dirtied this peerless painting.
All the strength in his body seemed to have been sucked out. Prince Yan put down his brush dejectedly and supported himself with both hands on the table, trying his best to stabilize the emotions rolling in his chest and not let them rush out of the corners of his eyes.
This was the manor that once belonged to him. The flowers, grass, bricks, and tiles here had been renovated, a large portion of them were still the same as they were twenty years ago. But the most unforgettable thing in life was that things had changed.
Because he had seen the light, he could not stand the darkness even more. He had the best companionship, and what was left was the cruelest loneliness.
Dong!
An unusual commotion suddenly came from the courtyard. At first, Prince Yan thought that something had gone wrong with the servants’ work and did not take it to heart. The door of the study was closed, and no servant had the guts to barge in. Therefore, he was not worried that his loss of composure would be seen by the servants.
However, the commotion seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and it was getting closer and closer. From dong dong dong to tap tap, it was like a series of rapid footsteps.
Dong!
There was another loud bang. The study door had been knocked open by something small.
Prince Yan was famous for his gentle temper. During Nanzhao, those who were afraid of him were ministers who were afraid of his methods. He had never put on airs in front of the servants, but in recent days, his emotions were clearly not right.
He frowned and was about to let the uninvited guy out when he saw three black eggs rolling in. “Aiya! Xiaobao, don’t squeeze me!”
“Dabao pushed me!”
Dabao decisively pushed aside his two idiot brothers, walked around the desk, and threw himself into Prince Yan’s arms!
Prince Yan was stunned when his arms were filled with a soft ball. His tightly furrowed eyebrows also relaxed. Soon, Er’bao and Xiaobao finally got up and ran into his arms with their short legs.
The three little things rounded up again, and he almost couldn’t hug them. The three of them pressed their faces against each other, and their little fats were squeezed until they were chubby. They fought to burrow into his arms.
Prince Yan immediately felt that not only were his arms filled, but his empty heart had also been stuffed with a soft and warm thing. He didn’t feel uncomfortable anymore.
At least he didn’t feel so uncomfortable anymore.
“Grandpa!”
“Grandpa!”
Xiaobao and Er’bao called him coyly.
He looked down at the three little fellows squeezing into his arms. The three of them were sweating profusely and their fat was trembling. Prince Yan’s handsome face, which had been depressed for months, finally revealed a smile. He gently stroked the three little bald heads and said softly, “It’s Dabao, Er’bao, and Xiaobao.”
“Why not Xiaobao, Dabao, and Er’bao?” Xiaobao wanted to be first!
“It’s Er’bao, Dabao, and Xiaobao!” Er’bao was not to be outdone. These two little ones had been arguing recently, neither giving in to the other.
Dabao looked at Prince Yan adorably. No matter how chaotic his brothers were, he was quiet and obedient and immediately won Prince Yan’s strongest praise.
Prince Yan smiled and said, “The two of you, stop arguing. Learn from your brother. Look at how sensible he is.”
Xiaobao crossed his arms. “He’s not even talking! Of course he’s not noisy anymore!”
Er’bao also crossed his arms. “That’s right!”
The two little black eggs who wanted to kill each other a second ago had united at this moment!
Prince Yan was amused by the three little fellows. The gloominess in his chest instantly dissipated. He pinched their little faces and could not bear to part with them. However, he could tell from Dabao’s reaction and Xiaobao and Er’bao’s words that Dabao had yet to speak.
The three children did everything in unison. One did not say anything, and the other two did not say anything either. This was not strange, but both of them had already started talking, and only Dabao remained silent. Prince Yan could not help but worry for this little fellow.
Did something go wrong?
“Dabao, pass me the pen holder, ” Prince Yan said.
Dabao slipped over and brought the pen holder over with his chubby hand. There was still nothing wrong with his ears, and he was very smart. Could it be a problem with his throat?
“Mm! Mm!” Dabao suddenly covered his butt and nodded. “He’s pooping, stinky!” Xiaobao said for Dabao.
Er’bao covered his butt. “Me too!”
Xiaobao: “Xiaobao too!”
“Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! Can’t hold it in, can’t hold it in!” Er’bao jumped up.
Prince Yan couldn’t tell if he really couldn’t hold it in or pretend. In short, these three had to do everything together.
“Alright, alright, alright. Don’t be anxious. I’ll bring you there now.” Prince Yan led the three little black eggs to the private room. There was a small toilet specially for the three of them in the manor.
Along the way, Prince Yan kept thinking that Dabao would make a sound. There should be nothing wrong with his throat. Could it be that Dabao was a lone wolf and didn’t want to talk?
Worried about his obedient Dabao, Prince Yan’s thoughts on Shangguan Yan were finally diverted. He had no time to reminisce about anything sentimental or be jealous of Xiao Zhenting. His heart… was filled with three little black eggs..
