AFDPIRAB Chapter54

The next day, Prince An’s mansion was much quieter than usual. The servants who came and went all walked lightly, lowered their voices, and did their duties in an orderly manner.

 

As for the reason for this silence…

 

Naturally, the little prince had not gotten up yet, and the other Shizi who loved the hustle and bustle the most, had not gotten up.

 

It was not until noon that Yun Jiangli saw that Yan Muning had not woken up yet, and fearing that he had been starving, he had no choice but to go into the bedroom to wake him up.

 

Last time, the little prince complained that he had a fever the day after they made love, so Yun Jiangli was particularly concerned this time. In addition, he was concerned about the baby in his belly, so he was extremely careful last night, so careful that the little prince became anxious and urged him with red eyes.

 

Although it took a long time to persuade him, the spoiled little prince was bullied to tears…

 

Yun Jiangli’s fingers that were pushing the bedroom door curled slightly. Now he thought of the youth holding his belly, with red eyes and a dazed look, the fire in his heart started to burst out.

 

After taking a deep breath, Yun Jiangli gently opened the door and walked in.

 

The messy look in the room was no longer seen, and the bed was tidied and neat, with fluffier and softer bedding.

 

The worst thing was the bed curtain that was torn to pieces by the little prince, and now it has been replaced with a new one.

 

The whole bedroom was filled with a faint aroma of herbs and fruits.

 

Yun Jiangli tiptoed to the couch, carefully lifted the bed curtain, sat on the couch, raised his hand, and touched the youth’s forehead—the temperature was normal.

 

The youth was lying on his side on the bed, his legs slightly bent, his hands instinctively protecting his lower abdomen, most of his cheeks hidden in the quilt, only a section of his pretty nose and tightly closed eyes exposed.

 

“Xiao Qi?”

 

Yun Jiangli called the youth softly, used his fingertips to smooth the hair on his cheek, and then affectionately rubbed the youth’s eyes, which were still slightly red.

 

The little prince seemed unhappy that his sweet dream was disturbed. He frowned and tried to shrink into the quilt, trying to avoid the annoying hand.

 

“Xiao Qi, be good, get up, and have some food before going back to sleep, alright?”

 

Yun Jiangli’s gentle appearance of coaxing people out of bed is completely different from his usual cold and aloof appearance. If his subordinates saw this, they would probably be so frightened that they would suspect that their boss had been abducted.

 

Such a beautiful face, coupled with such a gentle voice, is simply a bewitching enchantment.

 

The little prince, who is particularly conceited and loves beauty, was also impressed by Yun Jiangli’s appearance. He was awakened from his daze. He half-opened his eyes and blurted out when he saw the beauty in front of him, “What, what a big beauty…”

 

Yun Jiangli was stunned for a moment when he heard what he said.

 

Then he smiled helplessly. Could it be that this little thing was looking at beauties in his dreams?

 

“What are you talking about in your sleep, huh?”

 

The young hall master is indeed a jealous person. When he gets really jealous, he even has to taste his own vinegar.

 

He pulled the quilt down, revealing the little prince’s face, and pinched the person’s nose without letting go: “What beauty are you thinking about again? Can you see who I am?”

 

The dazed little prince was forced to wake up for a while. The moment he saw who was in front of him, he naturally recalled what happened last night.

 

The little prince immediately became furious and bit the hand that was pinching his nose, which was so close to him.

 

“Hiss—”

 

Yun Jiangli was caught off guard by the bite and tried to avoid it but failed.

 

Alright, with this reaction, it looks like the little thing has woken up.

 

“Xiao Qi, you’re up?”

 

Yun Jiangli raised his other hand lovingly and rubbed the youth’s hair, letting the bitten finger be as it was, after all, he already had so many teeth marks on his body overnight that this one wouldn’t make any difference.

 

The little prince was awake, and his memory was also awakened.

 

He was extremely ashamed now.

 

When he thought about what he had been told by this man last night, the little prince’s ears immediately started to burn.

 

The little prince held the big beauty’s finger tightly in his mouth and gnashed his teeth angrily.

 

This old bastard, every time he kept him hanging there, he coaxed him into calling him many embarrassing names.

 

And, and forced him to agree to a lot of things…

 

It’s really! It’s too much!

 

“Be good, stop biting.”

 

Yun Jiangli looked at the youth’s ears, which were slowly turning red, and he knew that the little guy must be thinking about what happened last night, and his evil thoughts of bullying others quietly emerged again.

 

He raised his head slightly, pointed at his neck, and said slowly, “Look, there are teeth marks all over my neck, they’re all from Xiao Wangye. Now you don’t even want to let go of my fingers?”

 

Sure enough, the little prince’s force immediately relaxed after hearing this, and his face turned even redder.

 

The young hall master, however, was not a good person. He rubbed the little prince’s lips with his fingertips, leaned closer, and whispered, “Ningning, be good. Next time, bite where no one can see.”

 

After saying that, he stood up immediately, not giving the little prince a chance to scold him, and smoothly switched to considerate mode, holding his waist and back, and hugged the little prince into his arms: “I made your favorite porridge, you must be hungry, right? Can I feed you some?”

 

The little prince was so angry that he stared at him, panting, and his stomach growled.

 

He lost his momentum instantly but still said fiercely, “Hmph, I’m not hungry.”

 

Yun Jiangli held the person with one hand and covered the round belly with the other hand: “En, Ningning is not hungry, but the baby is hungry. How about some porridge?”

 

The little prince lowered his eyes and nodded proudly, but his red ears betrayed their master’s emotions—

 

The big beauty called him Ningning, it was too sweet!

 

Yun Jiangli held the youth tightly in his arms and quickly drew up the bed curtains. He then took the small bowl of porridge from the table beside the couch and fed him carefully.

 

.

 

And in the wing room of the little prince’s courtyard, another scene with a different playing is currently unfolding—

 

Chen Tan was standing in the room with a troubled look on his face. Without the emboldening effect of last night’s alcohol, he was too embarrassed to even look at Yuchi Zhao.

 

Compared to Yun Jiangli’s meticulousness, Chen Tan is younger after all and doesn’t quite understand these intimate matters.

 

Fortunately, his brothers, who were busy gossiping, gave him various reminders, so he was able to clean up Yuchi in a hurry but not very skillfully afterwards.

 

When he was carrying the person back to the bed, he slipped and fell because of the water splashed out of the bathroom. Fortunately, he held Yuchi Zhao in his arms, and he was not hurt at all.

 

Just now, Chen Tan went to the small kitchen to get porridge. Du Zhong pulled him over and quietly handed him a small porcelain bottle, telling him to remember to bring some ointment for Shizi.

 

At this moment, Chen Tan was standing by the couch, preparing to apply the ointment.

 

As a result… he had no idea where to start with Yuchi Zhao, who was sleeping in a rather unrestrained posture, and could only stand there in a daze.

 

Yuchi Zhao’s sleeping posture was just as lively. Half of his quilt fell to the ground, and the remaining half was only draped around his waist. Fortunately, the room was warm; otherwise, he would have been frozen to death already.

 

“Yuchi…”

 

Chen Tan stood three steps away from the bed and tried to wake the person up quietly.

 

Shizi ye was exhausted from all the torment last night. He couldn’t even hear Chen Tan’s whisper and slept soundly.

 

Chen Tan gritted his teeth, sat on the edge of the bed, and tiptoed to pick up the quilt that Yuchi had kicked to the ground, and then carefully lifted him up and turned him over. Then he took out the small porcelain bottle that Du Zhong had just handed to him from his sleeve.

 

He half-closed his eyes, turned his head away somewhat embarrassedly, and fumbled around Yuchi’s waist for the belt of his undergarment.

 

After struggling for a long time, he finally untied the belt. When his clothes were half-off, Yuchi Zhao’s hoarse voice rang out in the quiet room—

 

“Ah Tan, I really can’t do it anymore. Can we do it again in two days?”

 

Chen Tan almost jumped up from the bed and stood aside, at a loss for words as he stammered, “No, no! Shizi ye… you, you misunderstood!”

 

Yuchi Zhao frowned and sat up with some difficulty, leaning on the bed, “Ah Tan, why did you call me?”

 

“Shizi, ah, no, Yuchi…” Chen Tan was very flustered.

 

Yuchi Zhao sighed, casually pulled up his clothes, and reached out to pull the man standing in punishment to sit next to him: “What’s wrong with you? Why are you panicking?”

 

“Didn’t you agree that you would go home with me to see my old man last night? Why are you suddenly so reserved?” Yuchi Zhao took the initiative to hold Chen Tan’s hand and found that his palms were full of sweat from nervousness.

 

“En, I have to see him.”

 

Chen Tan whispered, “I’m, I’m sorry about last night. Are you… in pain?”

 

As he spoke, he raised the small porcelain bottle in front of Yuchi Zhao: “I, I will apply the ointment for you!”

 

Yuchi Zhao was stunned for a moment, and his face instantly turned red.

 

Although he is usually not very shameless…

 

But he wanted to apply the ointment in, in that place in, in broad daylight… His face turned red just thinking about it.

 

……

 

For nearly half an hour afterwards, everyone passing by the door of the private room subconsciously quickened their pace for fear of being affected by the two people fighting inside.

 

But no one expected that these two people really didn’t fall out after sleeping together…

 

It’s just…

 

There was an endless debate about who should apply the ointment.

 

.

 

In the bedroom, the little prince, who had eaten and drunk enough and was in good spirits, was leaning against a soft pillow at the head of the bed, with one hand on his waist and the other on his belly, and was having his first family conversation seriously with Young Hall Master Yun beside him.

 

“Since I promised you, you are the only one. You should stop being jealous.”

 

The little prince said seriously.

 

Yun Jiangli held back his laughter, knowing that the little thing was now in high spirits and was about to start looking back at last night’s affairs.

 

The old fox deliberately said with a hint of grievance, “Isn’t it because Wangye said that you wanted to find a stepfather for the child? That’s why I’m jealous?”

 

The little prince glared and said, “This king is teaching you seriously, you are not allowed to talk back.”

 

After saying that, he added in a low voice, “Why do I want to find a stepfather for my child? Doesn’t Young Hall Master know?”

 

Yun ‘humbly accepting the teachings as the future princess consort’ Jiangli nodded obediently: “I Know, I know. It was all my fault before. Xiao Qi, didn’t we agree last night that I would discuss things with you first in the future? Let’s not talk about the past.”

 

The little prince pretended to be serious and said, “It’s good that you know. Also, you are not allowed to chat with the child like you did, did last night again!”

 

“Puff—”

 

Yun Jiangli couldn’t help laughing, but after receiving a glare from the youth, he quickly put away his smile: “Why is that? Xiao Qi, you obviously like it very much, and the child… seems to like it too?”

 

The little prince was so embarrassed that his ears turned red. He tried to save face by patting his belly and said, “Nonsense, the child told me he doesn’t like it.”

 

Yun Jiangli lowered his long eyelashes, trying to hide the smile that could not be concealed in his eyes.

 

“Also, also in order to compensate the child! From today on, you have to talk to the child in a normal way every day.”

 

After Xiao Wangye emphasized the word ‘normal’, he even felt a little embarrassed. He lowered his voice and said, “The Old, Old Hall Master said this is good for the kid!”

 

……

 

The little prince’s family conversation lasted for a long time and ended with him complaining to himself that he was sleepy.

 

During this period, a lot of rules were set for the future princess consort, including but not limited to not lying to him about calling him those embarrassing names, not using the postures he didn’t like, and not kissing him casually in front of outsiders…

 

He chattered on and on for almost an hour.

 

Yun Jiangli naturally agreed to whatever he said. After this incident, the little prince already had a thorough and clear understanding of his position. As for future intimate conversations, he had plenty of ways to let the little prince say it himself. So what was the harm in agreeing to more now?

 

The little prince had no idea what the old fox was thinking in his mind. He just felt happy seeing that everyone was happy with everything they did.

 

At this moment, the youth was nestling in the old fox’s arms and yawning, listening to someone gently stroking his round belly and talking to the cub, feeling that the satisfaction and happiness in his heart were so much that they were about to overflow.

 

“I will go to my second brother to ask for his approval for our marriage in the next few days.”

 

Yan Muning’s eyelids were drooping from sleepiness, but he had not forgotten the most important thing.

 

Yun Jiangli had already pestered him to find out why the little thing was never mentioned about marriage last night. After asking, he found out that the little prince wanted to save face and didn’t want to get married with a pregnant belly.

 

The two of them agreed to hold their wedding ceremony after the baby was one month old.

 

In this way, the little prince could first ask for the imperial decree to grant him marriage, and the wedding date can be chosen by the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Astronomical Bureau within the month after the birth.

 

“I heard that the rules for a prince’s wedding are very complicated?”

 

Yun Jiangli held the little prince’s hand and played with it.

 

Yan Muning closed his eyes, half asleep and half awake, and vaguely said, “Yes, there are a lot of rules. Don’t worry, Ah Li, I am willing to do my best for you in terms of the three books and six rites[mfn]The Three Books and Six Rites , also known as the Three Matchmakers and Six Certificates, are traditional Chinese marriage customs and etiquette. The “Three Books” refer to the documents used in the “Six Rites” process, including the Engagement Letter, the Gift Letter, and the Welcoming Letter. The “Six Rites” refer to the entire marriage process from proposal to marriage.[/mfn]…”

 

Not sure if the baby in his belly felt something, but he moved excitedly.

 

“Ouch…”

 

The little prince felt uncomfortable because of the baby in his belly, and he was too sleepy to close his eyes.

 

At this moment, he had completely lost the serious look he had just had during the family conversation. He lay softly in Yun Jiangli’s arms and said coquettishly, “Ah Li, my waist is sore, can you rub it for me…”

 

Yun Jiangli tilted his head, kissed the youth’s smooth forehead, and rubbed his sides lightly with his warm palms.

 

Soon, the little prince’s breathing gradually slowed down, and he fell asleep in his beloved’s arms.

 

Yun Jiangli lowered his eyes and looked at the youth sleeping soundly in his arms. He poked the still restless child childishly: “You sleep too, don’t bother your father.”

 

The child, who was less than five months old, seemed to have his own ideas and showed that he would perfectly inherit the old fox’s side. He bumped mercilessly at the place where Yun Jiangli’s finger had poked.

 

It directly woke up the little prince, who had just fallen asleep.

 

It would have been fine if he had just been bullied by his son’s father, but now Yan Muning was being bullied by his own son as well. He felt extremely aggrieved and glared at Yun Jiangli with a frown.

 

“Yun Jiangli! This is the only one. I will never give birth to another one!”

 

The author has something to say:

Mouyou: Tsk, Xiao Wangye, I think you may not have the final say on whether to have a baby or not.
