Seeing her looking at their son with a contented face, Zhongli Mingye gritted his teeth. What was going on? Did this woman not care about him at all after having a son?
This was not a good sign. Immediately, he summoned the wet - nurse. "The young master is sound asleep. Take him away."
What?
Looking up, Song Jinyu was slightly dissatisfied. This was her son. What if he only recognized the wet - nurse and was not close to her in the future?
The wet - nurse looked left and right, not knowing whose order to follow. After a long while, she heard the prince coaxing the princess, "Don't worry. This child will only be close to us..." Then he nipped at her pink earlobe. "I've prepared a feast on the Moonlit Platform. I wonder if the princess would do me the honor of joining me."
This made Song Jinyu blush and her heart race. Big Yuanbao was sleeping soundly, and the wet - nurse took him away.
Being pulled along by him, she stepped onto the ancient wooden steps. Song Jinyu remembered that they used to play the zither on the Moonlit Platform. After she got pregnant,
she always liked to watch Zhongli Mingye play music on this platform. Every time, Big Yuanbao in her belly was very well - behaved,
as if infected by the wonderful music.
She didn't come to her senses until he pushed her down on the soft couch. At the moment, this man was "starving" too much.
She felt a bit overwhelmed, her little face flushing red. She watched helplessly as he emptied the "food supply" for Big Yuanbao. She was immediately annoyed.
"You!"
Before she could resist, she was pulled into another passionate encounter. Being tossed around, she was in a daze and actually agreed to his request. "In the future, let Big Yuanbao sleep with the wet - nurse."
When the moon was high in the sky, she woke up groggily. Looking at the red marks all over her body, she immediately looked dejected. She glared at Zhongli Mingye hatefully.
Did he have to be so ruthless? Wasn't this revenge for her only caring about the child this month? The man was now refreshed, his phoenix eyes fixed on her. "Do you remember what you promised me just now?"
"I don't remember!"
"Hmm? Really don't remember!" How dare she go back on her word? He gritted his teeth and pressed her down on the couch again with a sudden force. "Then I'll help you refresh your memory."
"Um..." She wanted to say that she remembered clearly, but unfortunately, she didn't get the chance.
He tossed her around until she didn't even have the strength to plead for mercy.
Playing with a strand of her hanging hair, Zhongli Mingye watched her sleeping soundly and wrapped her in the quilt. His eyes shifted slightly downward.
Since giving birth, that part had grown a bit more.
It was truly irresistible. Her eyes were filled with more charm, and her skin was as smooth as congealed fat. This fair and delicate skin was really as white as jade.
Her waist was like an inverted pipa. Although she had given birth, her body was still like that of a young girl. Her slender waist could be easily grasped.
Recalling what had just happened, he seemed to have been a bit too ruthless. But he really missed her. He tightened his arms slightly and hugged her even closer.
Deep in the night, an insomniac sparrow chirped a few times. In the distance, the half - moon hid in the clouds. The willow trees in the garden hung their tendrils, and a gentle breeze blew, making people feel intoxicated.
"Really?"
A sinister voice cut through the quiet night. The maid lying on the ground had a faint black air on her face.
Jin Yu looked at her coldly. "No matter how scheming Prince Yu is, he always has oversights."
"If you're useless, then there's no use for me to keep you."
"Please spare my life, Aunt Jin!" The maid knelt on the ground, trembling. "I'll give you one last chance. If you still can't complete this task, then end your own life!"
The deposed crown prince Zhongli Chengze had just harassed Chen Mingzhu. When he came in and saw this scene, he said, "Aunt Jin, are you angry?"
Looking at Zhongli Chengze coldly, Jin Yu snorted, and a flash of impatience crossed her eyes. "Your Highness, you're really in a good mood. At this critical moment, you still have the mind to cause trouble!"
"… Just joking."
Exposed by Jin Yu, the deposed crown prince felt a bit embarrassed. He didn't know why, but he always easily lost in front of Jin Yu.
"The arrangements in the palace are proceeding step by step, but it's just about the Emperor..."
Jin Yu stood up from the throne and walked up to him. "You don't need to worry about this! I have my own plan!"
This time, he must get back everything with interest!
Early the next morning, Song Jinyu returned to the room from the Moonlit Platform. Hearing Big Yuanbao's loud cries, she took him over helplessly.
"The young master woke up and was looking for you!"
"Is he full?"
"Of course. He emptied the breast..."
But when Song Jinyu took him over, Big Yuanbao sniffed around the "food supply" and opened his little mouth to eat. She was extremely embarrassed.
What should she do? She blamed Zhongli Mingye in her heart!
Strangely enough, although there were three wet - nurses, why was Big Yuanbao still so hungry? The wet - nurse then said, "The young master only finished the milk from one wet - nurse and then refused to eat anymore."
"I felt his belly was very full. If I tried to feed him more, he wouldn't eat."
It seemed that he was attached to her. Song Jinyu, full of maternal love, picked up Big Yuanbao and went to the Flowing Cloud Pavilion. "Big Yuanbao, look at the little fish!"
When Zhongli Mingye returned from court, he saw from afar that the mother and son were looking at the fish. The gentle sunlight shone down, and this scene was truly extremely beautiful.
He quickly walked to the Flowing Cloud Pavilion and skillfully picked up Big Yuanbao. "He's gained a lot of weight in the past two months!"
"He eats too much!"
"As long as he doesn't have indigestion, it's good that he can eat. But... should I find another wet - nurse?"
Song Jinyu was helpless. "It's not the wet - nurse's problem. It's just that your son likes to be with me." Big Yuanbao blew bubbles, looking very proud.
He waved his chubby little hands, wanting Song Jinyu to hug him. But his heartless father firmly refused. Seeing that his wish couldn't be fulfilled,
he pursed his little mouth and cried loudly! Song Jinyu quickly took him over and gave Zhongli Mingye a fierce glare,
then coaxed him lovingly.
Looking at his little wife helplessly, "I!" He wanted to say, was this a nemesis he had given birth to? Was this child born to rob him of his wife...
Before long, Big Yuanbao fell asleep. Zhongli Mingye took him over, and the couple put the child on the bed. Seeing that she was a bit tired, he casually massaged Song Jinyu's tender shoulders. "You don't have to do everything by yourself..."
"Of course, I have to take care of my own child by myself... Otherwise, he might be closer to others when he grows up!" Song Jinyu thought for a moment. "I used to hear people say that a son will forget his mother after he gets married!"
"It's really true."
Zhongli Mingye asked with a smile, "What do you mean by that?"
"Look at you. Since you got married, you don't go to the palace very often..." Her voice became smaller and smaller. She finally realized that when this man doted on his wife, he could be really sweet.
"Do you like it?" Zhongli Mingye whispered in her ear. "I like it..." This was a heartfelt thought.
"Don't make trouble... Big Yuanbao is still sleeping!"
Feeling Zhongli Mingye's hand getting unruly, she quickly stopped him. "I... still want a daughter."
"Why?"
Why was she so persistent about having children?
