Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
How could Luan Hong bear to reject such a cute niece begging her? Besides, it would be good for her cousins to get together more. They could only love each other when they grew up.
Looking at the beautiful Yun ‘er, Luan Hong liked her very much. She hugged her and kissed her. She smiled and said to her,
“Sure!”
Yun ‘er ran away happily. Her big black eyes curved into crescent moons, and her smile was as beautiful as a blooming flower. She ran to Su Qing excitedly and looked up at her excitedly.
“Mother, Aunt has already agreed.”
“Alright then!”
Su Qing liked her daughter’s adventuring spirit. She did not have stage fright at all. She would be more than enough to become a female general if she were correctly nurtured.
Her mother was a war god, and her daughter was at least a general.
Her daughter didn’t need to know everything as long as she could grow up healthy and happy.
Seeing that her mother had agreed, Yun ‘er ran happily to Zhang Qirui and used her chubby little hand to hold Zhang Qirui’s little hand.
“Rui ‘er, follow elder sister into the palace.”
“Alright!”
Zhang Qirui was also very happy. He wanted to play on the swing with his sister and go with her to get a bird.
“Farewell to the Emperor, farewell to the Empress.”
As soon as Xiao Zeyu and Su Qing left, all the officials in the courtyard knelt to see them off.
Su Qing was bored. If she had a choice, she wanted to return to when she was escaping from famine and go in and out with the villagers of the Peach Blossom Cove. Everyone worked together.
No one dared to say anything when they saw her and Shui Sheng but knelt down. It was boring.
After returning to the palace, Su Qing took the children to play in the courtyard. Qin Tie had specially made a recliner for her and covered it with tiger skin. It was very comfortable to lie on it.
Su Qing lay comfortably on the recliner and looked at the distant sky. The setting sun dyed the sky red, and the layers of burning clouds looked like blooming roses.
There was an ominous feeling in her heart. It was as if the sky was dyed with blood!
“Rui ‘er, look, this is the big bird.”
Yun ‘er asked the guard to bring her a kite. Xiao Zeyu initially made an eagle kite for his daughter, and then Su Qing asked Qin Tie to make a phoenix kite for Yun’ er.
She felt that phoenix kites were more suitable for little girls because phoenixes were colorful, unlike the cold colors of eagles.
All little girls like colorful things!
“Which one do you like?”
Yun ‘er was still very modest. She pointed at the eagle and phoenix kites and asked Zhang Qirui. Su Qing looked at her little nephew curiously, wondering which one he would choose.
“This.”
To Su Qing’s surprise, Zhang Qirui chose the Phoenix Kite. He asked Yun ‘er carefully,
” Sister, can I have this?”
Yun ‘er was very distressed and reluctant. However, she pouted and agreed when she heard that her brother wanted it.
The word ‘good’ sounded extremely reluctant, which amused Su Qing.
The children were entertaining. They would show whatever was on their minds on their faces and let you know at a glance.
Su Qing looked at his son and saw he was not interested in playing with kites. He frowned and looked unfathomable.
This little adult!
Su Qing felt he was exactly like Xiao Zeyu when he was serious!
“Does Ziqi not like flying kites?”
Su Qing called her son over and helped him adjust his clothes. She had personally made the clothes for the two children, but after leaving for two months, the children had grown very fast, and their clothes looked a little small.
” Mother, Ziqi has grown up. He doesn’t want to play these games anymore. I want to go into the house to write.”
Ziqi made full use of his time to study. He had a wide range of hobbies. He liked calligraphy, painting, and the Four Books and Five Classics. He could stay in the study for an entire day without feeling bored. He enjoyed it.
He would get impatient if he were allowed to play. Su Qing suspected a genius was living in her son’s body.
Two ears do not pay attention to the outside world; wholeheartedly read sages’ books!
Such a child was the legendary child of others. He liked to study and did not have to worry about it. However, Su Qing did not want her son to be so tired.
“Ziqi, Mother will teach you archery!”
Su Qing felt that archery was a good exercise for a man. It could cultivate his manliness and help him defend himself.
“Ziqi thanks Mother.”
Ziqi didn’t show any unwillingness. He cupped his hands and thanked Su Qing respectfully.
Su Qing shook her head. In comparison, she still liked a carefree child like Yun ‘er. Ziqi was too mature and tired to look at.
Su Qing ordered someone to bring her son a bamboo stick and make a bow and arrow. Yun ‘er had been flying kites with Zhang Qirui initially, but she was immediately attracted when she saw Su Qing make a small bow and arrow.
“Mother, is this a bow and arrow?”
Yun ‘er touched the small bow made of green bamboo enviously. She had seen the guards shoot arrows before. It was so awesome!
“Yes, this is the bow and arrow mother made for Ziqi.”
Su Qing nodded and emphasized who the bow belonged to. She wanted to see what would happen to her daughter.
Yun ‘er didn’t roll around and shamelessly ask for the bow and arrow like Su Qing had imagined. She went over and held her brother’s hand, smiling as she congratulated him,
“Brother is so awesome!”
“Thank you, sister.”
Ziqi was like an older brother. He held his sister’s hand and protected her like a little man.
Ziqi disliked playing, but he accepted archery and martial arts. He wanted to become very powerful to protect his mother and sister.
“Royal aunt, can you make one for me?”
Zhang Qirui asked Su Qing in a childish voice. His big eyes looked at Su Qing with desire. Boys liked bows and arrows. Knives and guns were more attractive to him than kites.
“If Rui ‘er likes it, Royal Aunty will make one for you too.”
Su Qing touched Zhang Qirui’s little face. It was pink like a big ripe apple. This child looked like his mother. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes. His eyes were very bright, but his personality was different. He was a little too shy.
“Thank you, Royal Aunt.”
Zhang Qirui thanked Su Qing happily. The eagerness in his eyes made Su Qing happy. It would take a long time to make another one!
“Ziqi, can you lend your bow and arrow to your brother to play with?”
Su Qing went to ask for her son’s opinion. This bow and arrow was made for her son, so she respected Ziqi’s opinion.
“Yes.”
Little Qi acted like an older brother. He nodded solemnly and agreed, his little hand still behind his back.
While Su Qing was playing with the children until the moon hung high above the willows, the wedding ceremony at the Zhong residence was in its final stages. The matchmaker did her best to host the wedding to get the big red packet that Zhong Yong had mentioned.
“After drinking the wine, we will enter the mandarin duck tent together. From now on, husband and wife will sing harmoniously!”
Zhong Yong had drunk a lot of wine outside, and his entire body reeked of alcohol. However, because of the hangover medicine his master had given him, he was not muddle-headed at all. He had been waiting for this exciting day, so how could he be muddle-headed?
“Wifey.”
Zhong Yong’s call of ‘wifey’ was like a small deer hitting Jiang Yuyan’s heart. She raised her cup with a red face and called out shyly,
“Husband.”
The matchmaker at the side blinked as she looked at the two newlyweds whose eyes were electric. She felt that she and the servant girls were redundant.. These two would immediately go to the bridal chamber if they were not here!
