Father, Mother Escaped Again

*event where they predict the future of a baby depending on what item they grab

“Why did Royal Mother come back at this time? Chen Qie heard that there was a whole night of snow in Jingcheng yesterday, so the river was frozen in the middle of the night and the road was slippery. Why did Royal Mother not wait for a few more days until spring had arrived and the snow had melted to come back? It would also save the fatigue of the journey, not to mention it is quite dangerous.” Xia Yuqing quickly greeted Zhang Sunshi as she saw her and voiced her concern.

Since Xia Yuqing has returned to the palace, Zhang Sunshi had brought her personal maids and went to the rather far Yuecheng to see the maple leaves. They were staying in Yuecheng’s thousand-year-old ancient temple for meditation.

Zhang Sunshi smiled and patted Xia Yuqing’s hand: “How can a little wind and snow prevent Ai Jia from coming back to participate in the birthday ceremony of my two little royal grandchildren? Where are Ai Jia’s two darlings? Show Ai Jia.”

“They’re eating in the palace. Royal Mother, you must not know, but the two children have grown a few teeth these days. Those tiny white baby teeth are so cute.”

“Oh, they’re already growing teeth? Ai Jia’s grandchildren are growing so fast, they will definitely be smarter than Ting Er in the future. Ting Er only started to grow teeth after his first birthday ceremony.”

“Really?”

“Of course it is true. At that time, in order to give birth to his neat white row of teeth, Ting Er would grind his teeth like a small mouse all night. At that time, Ai Jia and Ting Er’s father would often stand by his cradle and listen to the sound of his teeth grinding. His little mouth moving was so adorable.”

“Really? Chen Qie also went to the two children’s cradle at night and saw the same magical things Royal Mother just mentioned. How mysterious.”

As soon as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law reunited, they happily talked about the daily trivial matters of the two children. In a blink of an eye, the birthday of the two little buns had arrived.

“Oh, you deserve to be my little niece and nephew, look at how your outfit makes you look like a golden boy and jade maiden (lovely young children)? Come on, let auntie hug you~” Xia Muyun looked at the adorable children on the bed dressed like a picture scroll and couldn’t help smiling knowingly. Holding the second baby, she gave her a nibble causing second baby to chuckle.

Xia Yuqing couldn’t help laughing. She teased: “If you like children so much, why don’t you give birth to one yourself? Royal Sister and the prime minister’s children shouldn’t be worse than my children.”

Xia Muyun was taken aback, the roots of her ears became red all of a sudden: “What are you talking about, I don’t understand at all.”

“Tsk tsk, Royal Sister, what’s wrong with this kind of thing? I heard from Xiao Shang Shu that on the day of Xiao Yuan and Master Yin’s wedding, someone couldn’t even get out of bed and had to stay in the prime minister’s mansion.”

Xia Yuqing’s teasing suddenly made Xia Muyun annoyed: “A group of people that can’t keep their mouths shut, this kind of thing... this kind of thing...”

“What’s wrong with this kind of thing? You can be said to be in love with each other, so what’s the matter? Royal Sister, please tell me what the h*ll you and the Prime Minister were... doing that night? Hehehe...” She had seen it that day, the two eye-catching dark circles on the Prime Minister’s face. She originally thought she had failed again, but unexpectedly... she succeeded? !

So in the end, did the Prime Minister overwhelm her Third Royal Sister, or did her sturdy and domineering Third Royal Sister force herself on the Prime Minister in one fell swoop?

Ahhhhh... the small person in Xia Yuqing’s heart suddenly let out a long scream, their eyes were shining like searchlights, staring straight at Xia Muyun, full of expectation.

Embarrassment appeared on Xia Muyun’s face for some reason. After a long pause, she looked at the second baby in her arms. As if she had found an excuse, she coughed softly: “The kids are still here, we shouldn’t...”

“You’re right, that wouldn’t be the best idea.” Xia Yuqing was startled, looking at the two buns on the bed, “Then let’s go to the side hall and speak.”

“... ” Royal Sister, your curiosity is really... Xia Muyun was defeated by Xia Yuqing’s persistence in getting to the bottom of things.

The second baby watched her mother and aunt suddenly put herself down, get up and walk away. Yelling and waving her arms, she seemed to want them to take her along, but unfortunately the older baby caught her first.

Heh heh heh, Strange Mother’s sister is Strange Auntie. Strange Mother and Strange Auntie are hiding so secretly, so they must want to do bad things. How can he allow them to influence his sister at this time? He must not let his sister follow them!

Xia Yuqing didn’t know that she was once again despised by a little bun stuffed with red bean paste. Instead, she was immersed in the joy of gossip.

“Royal Sister, please tell me, tell me. As your Royal Sister, I did give you some advice. You can’t abandon one’s benefactor upon achieving one’s goal. Moreover, if you tell me, I can continue to advise you and build your relationship allowing you to cultivate a positive fruit sooner.” As soon as Xia Yuqing walked into the door of the side hall, she grabbed Xia Muyun’s hand and shook it violently.

Xia Muyun was shaken as she listened. She hesitated for a moment before clearing her throat: “After I returned from your palace that day, I thought for a long time and felt that this matter needed to be discussed for a while first. It took a whole night to formulate a careful plan. ”

“What careful planning? ”

“How to force myself upon him. I spent the whole night thinking whether to sneak attack or ...... do it upfront.”

” ...... you spent the whole night thinking about this?” Xia Yuqing asked with a face of disbelief.

Xia Muyun nodded. Xia Yuqing moaned feebly: “Then...what’s the conclusion?”

“For the sake of safety, sneak attack was the best.”

Xia Yuqing touched her chin: “That’s right. In the case of throwing yourself outright, even though the Prime Minister looks thin, he is still a man after all, it is always dangerous for a woman to fight a man. Then, what happened?”

“So I rushed to the prime minister’s house with great enthusiasm that day. As soon as I entered the door... I ran into him...”

“...” Royal Sister, you said you were going to sneak attack, shouldn’t you find a time when it is dark at night with high winds, then wear a black suit that resembles an assassin and attack the Prime Minister while he has his back turned? Shouldn’t it be like that? How could you rush into other people’s houses so blatantly? How can you sneak attack when someone is in front of you!? How can the queen screw up at these critical moments, do you like the abuse?!

“Then?”

“Sneak attack was of course impossible, so I did it outright. That night...” Xia Muyun said carefully and recalled the scene that night.

At that time, she had rushed into Leng Ruofeng’s mansion. She was ready to just go for it, to force herself on Leng Ruofeng, but was caught by Leng Ruofeng who was about to go out. The two of them were silent. Then, the both of them silently returned to Leng Ruofeng’s room. She saw the chance and rushed towards Leng Ruofeng. Leng Ruofeng was startled, so there was no resistance at all.

“That...that...” Xia Muyun straddled Leng Ruofeng’s body and felt a little embarrassed by Leng Ruofeng’s quiet eyes, but then she recalled Xia Yuqing’s words to her. She took a deep breath: “Don’t move around, otherwise...”

Before she finished speaking, she felt a whirl of the sky and a little pain on her back. When she looked again, Leng Ruofeng was already holding her shoulders and had turned her over, overwhelming her on the bed: “You too... don’t move. ”

Xia Muyun was stunned, following Leng Ruofeng’s face, she could see the pale pink eartips on Leng Ruofeng. For some reason, she also became a little shy. She nodded.

In the next second, Leng Ruofeng leaned down and aimed at Xia Muyun’s red lips...

“!” What is he... doing? Kiss... Kissing her? !

Xia Muyun’s mind went blank for a moment. When she recovered, she found that Leng Ruofeng’s hand had already reached her waist silently, unbuttoning her belt. A conditioned reflex, Xia Muyun raised her hand and afterwards...

She felt her body light again. Puu, a familiar muffled sound awakened Xia Muyun.

“!” I...how did I...how did I beat someone down again? !

“You, you... are you okay? I didn’t mean it!” Xia Muyun got up in a hurry, trying to see how Leng Ruofeng was injured, but before she could look down, she saw a white shadow passing by. Her body sank again, and Leng Ruofeng’s paralyzed face with two dark circles around his eyes came into view.

“...” Xia Muyun didn’t know what to say anymore. After a long while, she uttered a word: “I...”

Before she finished speaking, Leng Ruofeng’s mouth blocked it again, and she couldn’t say anything. Xia Muyun’s face was so hot that it was almost smoking, but remembering her lesson, she didn’t dare to exchange blows against Leng Ruofeng.

Therefore, Leng Ruofeng smoothly unfastened Xia Muyun’s belt like this. His slightly cool and slender fingers slowly plunged into the clothes, then...

Why did it stop? Xia Muyun blushed and thought. She raised her head in confusion, and found that Leng Ruofeng’s always expressionless face, at this moment, was twisted. It was as if he had encountered something exceptionally distressing.

“What...what’s the matter?” Xia Muyun watched Leng Ruofeng making a serious face at her, then he got up from her body and walked outside.

“!” Such a critical moment! Where are you going? ! Is he backing out at the last moment? ! Xia Muyun gritted her teeth. She propped up, looked out, and saw Leng Ruofeng take out something from the leg under his desk.

Xia Muyun looked intently. She faced the big characters on the book: Erotica!

“...” A moment after the petrification, Xia Muyun covered her face silently, expressing her currently complicated mood.

Is there anything in this world more embarrassing than watching a man you like reading an erotica? However, she still thought that the man with two dark circles on his face looked very handsome when he read seriously. Ahhhhhhh she is indeed poisoned!

It would be great if the thing in his hand wasn’t an erotica! Hey, wait, erotica, he wouldn’t be...

Leng Ruofeng looked at the erotica that the old butler had stuffed in his hand a long time ago, but was used instead to cushion the desk. His face was dark and focused.

The next step after opening the clothes is... then... Leng Ruofeng looked at the book in his hand with a serious face. Then he suddenly realized something. His eyes lit up, and he threw the book in his hand away and pounced at Xia Muyun.

“I...it’s my first time, please be gentle.” Xia Muyun hesitated for a while before spitting out the words with difficulty.

The blush of Leng Ruofeng’s eartips suddenly spread to his neck. He dropped a sentence too: “Me too” and began to follow the erotic pictures.

As a result, the Prime Minister’s Mansion heard a sharp complaint in the middle of the night: “You, you, you... can’t you be gentler?”

“I... I can’t help it.”

“...”

Xia Muyun recalled the scene that day and suddenly felt it a little hard to look at people for some reason.

After listening to Xia Muyun’s description, Xia Yuqing was completely stunned. It turned out... It turned out... the Prime Minister is really an innocent ascetic, he hasn’t even seen erotic pictures before! Ancient times were really behind! The failure of spreading Sex Ed will kill people! Fortunately, my first time was with the Ultra Seme Lord. Although that beast had never eaten pork before, he must have read a lot of pork recipes!

Thinking about this, Xia Yuqing suddenly felt a little sympathy for Xia Muyun. She stretched out her hand and patted her shoulder: “Royal Sister, I will show you something good. I promise that after seeing it, you and the prime minister will certainly be blessed and happy in the future!”

“What is it?”

Xia Yuqing turned and entered her room to find a set of “palace secrets” to give to Xia Muyun, only to find...

“Hey, where are the books in my room?”

Xia Yuqing struggled for a long time but couldn’t find it. She wanted to call someone to come in and ask, but Xia Muyun grabbed her arm first.

“Royal Sister, I have noticed that he started avoiding me again recently, what should I do?”

“What? Is it possible that even the Prime Minister was affected by the Gorgeous Tutor and is starting illicit relations, then abandoning the girls?” Xia Yuqing was shocked. After staying still for a few seconds, she instantly forgot her original intentions. She turned her head and held Xia Muyun’s hand.

“Who knows?” Xia Muyun kicked the carpet in front of her angrily. The reason she was willing to tell Xia Yuqing what happened that night was because she was hoping Xia Yuqing could advise her, “Do you think that after he had been with me, he found out that I was...not as good as he thought, so...”

Xia Yuqing’s face became dark. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Leng Ruofeng was not as unreliable as Yan Ran. Logically speaking, he wouldn’t do anything infuriating.

“Royal Sister, before the Prime Minister hid from you, did you do anything different?”

“Different?” Xia Muyun pondered carefully for several seconds, “I don’t think so, just... that day when I woke up, I complained to him it was really uncomfortable to do that with him.”

“What did you say? You complained to him about...that thing?”

“Yeah, he did that thing so recklessly, so I complained a few words. There should be nothing wrong with that right?”

“!” There is something, and it is a very serious matter. If she didn’t guess wrong, the prime minister’s pure, fragile, young man’s heart has been hurt by you! Complaining about the man being good or not to his face, the Prime Minister will be ruined by you! No wonder the Prime Minister is hiding from you! He simply couldn’t lift his head in front of you.

Xia Yuqing looked at Xia Muyun with a grimace. She wanted to mention it to her when she was interrupted by the shouts of people outside.

“Niang Niang, Third Princess, it’s time, come out quickly.” Lu Rui’s yelling successfully interrupted the conversation between the two.

The problem between Xia Muyun and Leng Ruofeng was temporarily abandoned, and Xia Yuqing replied loudly: “Coming.” She hurriedly took some people and ran out carrying her little bun.

Neither of the two people who rushed to the Imperial Garden had noticed a figure flashing past the beams of the side hall while they were talking.

The Zhua Zhou ceremony was scheduled to be carried out in the imperial garden. On the long and spacious table, there were all kinds of rare treasures. The four treasures of the study (essentials of calligraphy and scholars) and even tools of various industries, as long as you can think of it, it was there.

Because these two children were not just the orthodox eldest son and daughter of the emperor, but also the eldest son and daughter of the empress, even if there were changes in the harem in the future, even if the emperor and the empress had another heir, the status of these two children would be unshakable. Being placed above everyone else in honor, the scale of the Zhua Zhou ceremony was unprecedented.

“Oh, Ai Jia’s little golden grandchildren have finally come. Look at this outfit, it’s so cute.” As soon as Xia Yuqing and Xia Muyun showed up with the two children, Zhang Sunshi greeted them with joy.

Xia Muyun took the opportunity to pass the child in her hand to Zhang Sunshi and stepped aside.

“Royal Mother, how will this be done? Should I let the two children go together or one by one?” It was also Xia Yuqing’s first time seeing a child going through this ceremony, she was a little nervous.

“Don’t be nervous, it’s just a ceremony, nothing more. Just do what Ai Jia says. Put the two children on the table and then that’s it. We will see what they like.” Zhang Sunshi saw the panic in Xia Yuqing’s eyes and comforted her.

Xia Yuqing nodded. She followed Zhang Sunshi to the dazzling table, and carefully placed the two children down.

“What do you think those two children will grab?” Yan Ran looked at the two red and colorful dolls who were wrapped up like glutinous rice dumplings. His eyes were full of envy, with a touch of jealousy and hatred.

“It’s just a kid, probably a toy.” Leng Ruofeng looked at the two lovable children and his always cold eyes softened.

“That’s not necessarily true. People say that one can see how their adulthood will be like when they are just three years old. Isn’t the Zhua Zhou basically a picture of their future?” Shao Zitong’s gaze directly passed the two children to Xia Yuqing, with a bit of resentment in his eyes. It was for no other reason but because Xia Yuqing abducted his little cousin.

“No matter what they grab, as long as they like it, Zhen is willing to indulge them and accept it.” The man sitting on the side calmly opened his mouth. He acted as if he didn’t care much, it’s a pity...

“...” In that case, why did you even put the founding jade seal there? Liar! The three of them looked at each other, feeling contempt in their hearts.

“Be good, Dundun, Dudu, go find what you like among those things over there. It doesn’t matter if you grab a few more. After you grab it, come back to mother. Good, go quickly.”

The second baby was sucking her chubby little finger and tilted her head. Then, she slowly got up and walked forward staggeringly. It was a pity that she fell before taking two steps. Fortunately, the table was soft and the plush blanket didn’t hurt even if one fell. So the baby rolled around on the blanket, giggled, got up again and crawled forward.

Seeing that the second baby was gone, the older baby moved his hands and feet and followed. It was as if he was preparing to guard the second baby until she found what she wanted before he looked for his own thing.

“Ahhhh, the prince is following behind the little princess and looks like a mini adult, how cute!”

“The little princess is so cute, even if she falls, she is not discouraged at all. She also loves to laugh so much. Those two dimples, crescent eyes, my heart is going to melt.” These are a group of palace ladies who often see the little buns and can’t resist the charm of them.

“Ahhhhhhh, the prince and princess are so cute. They are even cuter than the rumors! The prince looks like the emperor. When he grows up he will be handsome and charming, especially when he solemnly guards the little princess. Too adorable.”

“Yes, the little princess is so cute. She looks like the empress, but her eyes are like the emperor’s. She will definitely be a beauty when she grows up.”

This is the first time a group has seen the two little buns, but they were also overwhelmed by their charm.

The second baby climbed over half of the table and picked up a lot of things, but few of them were actually in her hands. The second baby would grab one thing then lose another, she tossed around half the items of the table, then her buttocks landed on the table. Her small mouth squished together. She had a tendency to cry on the spot. The hearts of the people were tight and the older baby wanted to hurriedly hug the second baby to comfort her.

Yet suddenly, the second baby seemed to have seen something. A pair of big watery eyes lit up. Sweeping away the initial loss, she crawled straight towards that something.

All the people present were taken aback. They all craned their necks, wanting to see what caused her to discard the many gold and silver jewelry just now. What precious thing could have moved the little princess and got her so excited?

As a result, the second baby quickly rushed forwards a short distance under the close gaze of everyone.

The second baby grabbed a very beautiful jade pendant. Some people who knew the goods immediately recognized that this jade pendant was the love token the previous emperor had gifted Zhang Sunshi, and gasped.

Sure enough, the little princess deserves to be the eldest daughter of the emperor. she had seen one of the most precious things among these items. However, before these people had finished admiring her, they saw the second baby quickly put the jade pendant aside.

“...”

Afterwards, the second baby picked up a picture scroll in full view. But it didn’t take long for everyone to see that the second baby was very impatient as she threw the picture scroll away.

With a bang, the scroll rolled to the side and spread out. Many people who knew how to paint took in a breath of air again. This is the posthumous work of a master of landscape painting. It is difficult for the world to find a second painting. Yet, this was... cruelly discarded.

After that, everyone saw the second baby rummaging among a pile of items. She left everyone’s small hearts hanging for a long time. Only then, at the bottom of the pile, she pulled out a thick book with difficulty. She smiled and hugged it without letting go.

“!” It finally appeared, this is what the little princess grabbed! The depressed people suddenly livened up and everyone without exception looked intently at what she grabbed.

It was a very heavy book. The little princess’s small body could only hold a corner of it, so all the big gilded letters on the edge of the book were revealed.

“Palace Secrets hardcover bound edition.” No one knew who whispered that, but the imperial garden fell into a dead silence. The only sound left was the pleasant giggles by the second baby until a delighted scream broke the deadlock.

“Hahahaha, worthy of being my daughter, you have the same blood as your mother! Even though you haven’t gone through my experience, you still chose the same path as your mother. Wow hahaha~” Xia Yuqing was stunned for a moment, before she remembered why she couldn’t find the set of books in her bedroom. It turned out that she had secretly mixed this book with the Zhua Zhou belongings long before, just for... Kakaka...

Xia Yuqing hugged her second baby for a while. She silently gave her a compliment. She deserves to be her purebred bun in her family. She really has the same heart as her. Xia Yuqing will finally have a successor, another fujoshi. Even when one fujoshi falls, there will still be thousands of fujoshis standing. They all firmly believed that the world will one day be great, hahahaha...

“...” What’s the situation now? Should they sigh? Like mother, like daughter? It seems that this harem will be more lively in the future. This is the group of palace people who were already numb.

“...” How can this be good? One empress who advocates homosexuality is enough for Ye State. If there is another little princess with royal blood that also... Ye State’s future will be worrisome! This is a bunch of ministers who knew the inside story and was already worried about the future.

“...Your Majesty, is it really okay for the little princess to follow the empress like this?” Yan Ran, who knew the content of the book, twitched and turned his head stiffly.

The two other former victims also turned to look at Feng Tingye at the same time, waiting for his response. However, Feng Tingye replied pointlessly: “As long as my prince is still normal, it will be enough for the big picture.”

“...” Your Majesty, are you secretly pointing out that the empress and the little princess are abnormal?

At this moment, the big baby who Feng Tingye had high hopes for glanced at his happy mother and sister not far away, then turned around to start looking for what he liked.

In a short time, he did not disappoint the people’s expectations as he picked up the founding ruler’s jade seal. But when everyone was smiling at that, he did something that shocked everyone.

“F*ck, why is that thing there? Who put it there, quickly... go get it back, get it back!” As soon as Xia Yuqing turned her head, she saw the baby grabbing something. Looking intently, she almost peed on the spot! How could this thing appear there, she obviously instructed someone to seal it underground!

Everyone was shocked when they heard Xia Yuqing’s exclamation. They turned to look at the big baby, and saw that their crown prince had grasped a very gorgeous silver object.

“That’s...” Feng Tingye’s expression also changed. He got up from the throne and walked towards the place where Xia Yuqing and the others were.

“What’s the matter? What is the thing that His Royal Highness is holding in his hand? Why have I never seen it before?” The courtiers who didn’t know the situation on the side were all talking about it.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Shao Zitang and the others put away their joking thoughts. Their expressions sank, and they hurriedly got up and rushed towards Feng Tingye.

“No, there should be no bullets in this pistol, it should be okay.” After a brief shock, Xia Yuqing suddenly remembered that there were no bullets in this pistol. Even if it was caught in the big baby’s hand and accidentally went off, it will not kill anyone.

But before Xia Yuqing could breathe a sigh of relief in the future, she could hear Lu Rui muttering on the side: “Bullets? Do you mean the small beads with pointed heads and round bottoms?”

“Yes...” Xia Yuqing froze, her face was pale. She looked at Lu Rui, “How do you know what a bullet looks like?”

Lu Rui was taken aback by Xia Yuqing’s face: “Niang Niang, what’s wrong with you? Your complexion is so ugly! Are you uncomfortable?”

“Speak, how did you know?” Xia Yuqing was not in the mood to chat with her at this moment.

“...It was in the things sent by Xu Lao two days ago. Nu Bi heard the delivery person say that it was going to be put in the thing that the lady had recently brought back, so Nu Bi helped Niang Niang to put the bullet in.” Lu Rui looked at Xia Yuqing’s trembling face. Today’s Niang Niang is so scary!

“What did you say?!”
