AFDPIRAB Chapter67

The child, who was originally held in Yun Jiangli’s palm, hadn’t cried yet, but after Yan Muning said “so ugly”, he suddenly cried out loudly, and the sound was so loud that Yun Jiangli’s ears buzzed.

 

Little Ah Can was obviously shocked by his father’s words of disgust just now, and his howl was so loud that it shook the mountains and rivers.

 

The little prince, who was either too tired or overwhelmed by the child, glanced at the child twice, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

 

Yun Jiangli was originally immersed in the excitement of having a child and a little bit of uneasiness that he couldn’t explain.

 

But after listening to what the little prince said, he lowered his eyes and looked at the child in his arms carefully, frowned, and think, It seems… that he’s a bit ugly indeed?

 

The old hall master watched the whole process helplessly, glanced at Yun Jiangli with disdain, and mercilessly exposed his son’s past: “When you were just born, you were not even as good as him!”

 

Yun Jiangli: “……”

 

Ah Can cried even harder and seemed to be dissatisfied with his grandfather’s comparison as well.

 

Old Steward Zhou called the nanny to take Ah Can out first with a happy face and then said jokingly, “Ai, Young Hall Master is too young, so you don’t know that children are like this when they are just born, and they become white in a few days. With you and Little Highness’s looks, our Little Master must have a stunning appearance ah!”

 

The old hall master followed the steward and the nanny to prepare in the room next door.

 

Yuchi Zhao came in and took a look at Yan Muning, who was already fast asleep. He did not dare to speak. He just gestured to Yun Jiangli a few times, indicating that he would also go to see the kid, and then left.

 

In the bedroom that was bustling just now, were left with only Yan Muning and Yun Jiangli.

 

Yun Jiang Li sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the youth’s still pale face and lips that were so pale that they had no color at all. He raised his hand distressedly, but he didn’t know if he could touch him or not, so it froze in mid-air.

 

“Princess Consort.” The maid called softly.

 

Yun Jiangli was startled. Although he had already received the imperial decree granting him marriage, but this was the first time someone called him like this.

 

The maid had received the order early in the morning and knew that Prince An was not used to having maids. She also heard that the princess consort cared a lot about the little prince and wanted to do everything himself.

 

Although the little prince had just given birth and was very tired, there were still some things to do. She carefully taught Yun Jiangli one by one, and then retreated behind the screen to wait.

 

Although it was already May, the little prince, who had just given birth, could not be exposed to the wind.

 

Yun Jiangli first gently wrapped the little prince in a quilt and picked him up. Shiyi and Chen Mo, who were standing by, immediately stepped forward and quickly changed the quilt into a new, clean, and soft one.

 

Yan Muning was really tired. He fell into a deep sleep in Yun Jiangli’s arms and did not wake up even when he was put back on the bed.

 

The bed curtains had been replaced with thicker ones, and now they were hanging down to block the little prince tightly. Only then did they dare to open the bedroom window, quickly ventilate, and then close it again and burn the light medicinal fragrance in the incense burner again.

 

Yun Jiangli had just cleaned up the little prince, and the nanny brought back the cleaned Ah Can and gently placed him on a special small bed in the bedroom.

 

He turned his head to take a look. Ah Can was washed clean now and looked a little whiter, but still wrinkled, sucking his fist and falling asleep.

 

Turning back to look at the youth sleeping beside him, Yun Jiangli’s heart was filled with a strange sense of satisfaction. The corners of his lips unconsciously raised, and he silently opened and closed his mouth and said to his little lover, Thank you, Xiao Qi.

 

.

 

Yan Muning felt like he had just fallen asleep when he was awakened by a stomachache. He couldn’t help but groan.

 

That’s not right. The child has already been born. Why is it still painful?

 

The little prince opened his eyes in confusion and found that the culprit was actually the big beauty!

 

“Ah, Ah Li, hurt, hurt, hurt…”

 

The little prince felt aggrieved and gasped in pain, “Hey, what are you doing…”

 

Yun Jiangli was also helpless. Postpartum matters were generally not the physician’s domain. This was the first time he knew that he had to do these things after the child was delivered.

 

Just now, the maid had reminded him many times that he had to massage the little prince’s abdomen in an hour. Although it would be a little painful, it had to be done for the little prince’s sake.

 

When Yun Jiangli heard the youth say that it hurts, he immediately felt distressed and didn’t dare to massage anymore.

 

The maid had been waiting behind the screen. When she heard what was going on inside, she dutifully reminded him, “Princess Consort, do you need the servant to massage Xiao Wangye?”

 

“No, no need.”

 

Yun Jiangli frowned slightly and coaxed the little prince in a soft voice, “Xiao Qi, be good, just for a while, and it’ll be fine, alright?”

 

As he spoke, he continued to massage.

 

This pain was certainly not as painful as the pain during childbirth, but the little prince, who was already intolerant to pain, could not stand the slightest pain at this moment, and soon cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

 

He cried, and his voice was shaking. He first acted coquettishly: “Ah Li… stop rubbing, it hurts.”

 

Then he found that this trick didn’t work, so he changed his tactics: “Huhu, you have no conscience, I worked hard to give birth to a child for you, and now you are bullying me like this…”

 

Yun Jiangli felt distressed, but he had no choice but to let the little prince scold him.

 

Listening to the youth’s constant chatter, he figured out what he was thinking. He knew that the youth was distressed, but more importantly, he just wanted to play tricks on him, so he also felt relieved.

 

This kind of subtle pain is really annoying. Yan Muning’s physical strength has not yet recovered. He is sleepy and tired. As a result, even when he was tired of scolding, but the big beauty still hadn’t finished kneading.

 

The little prince was angry. He uttered the last big move with a tearful voice: “You are finished, Yun Jiangli, I want to write a divorce letter!”

 

Fortunately, the maid spoke in time to save Yun Jiangli: “Princess Consort, the one stick of incense time has come, it’s done now.”

 

Yun Jiangli had gotten away from the divorce letter, breathed a sigh of relief, covered the little prince with a blanket, and kissed his forehead: “Alright, alright, I won’t rub it anymore.”

 

“Hmph…” The little prince was indifferent.

 

The big beauty kissed the pouty little mouth again: “Don’t say things like divorce letters, be good.”

 

“Sleep a little longer, you’ve worked hard.”

 

Yun Jiangli didn’t give the little prince a chance to refute, stroking his hair and speaking softly.

 

The clear and cold voice was uniquely gentle, and it seemed to be charming in the ears. As soon as the voice fell, the little prince felt that his eyelids were heavy and he couldn’t lift them anymore.

 

.

 

He only had time to hum softly and fell asleep again.

 

When the little prince woke up again, he was awakened by the loud howling of his own child.

 

After waking up in shock, the little prince’s heartbeat could not calm down for a long time. The child not far away was still howling in great exuberance, it was the kind of thunder without rain.

 

But the omnipotent Yun Jiangli in the eyes of the little prince seemed to be facing such a dilemma for the first time at this moment—

 

He couldn’t coax his own child.

 

The child, who was just the size of his two palms, seemed to be deliberately against him, staring at him with two round eyes that were exactly the same as Yan Muning’s, as if to say, If you dare to stare at me, I will howl even louder!

 

The little prince, who had not slept enough, was so shocked by Ah Can’s loud voice that his head was buzzing. He said helplessly, “Ah Li, is the child hungry?”

 

“The nanny just fed him.”

 

Yun Jiangli was worried, and his handsome eyebrows were knitted together.

 

“Then… then bring him over to me for a look.”

 

The little prince’s voice was barely audible compared to Ah Can’s loud voice.

 

Yun Jiangli carefully carried the child to the little prince’s side. Miraculously, the moment Ah Can stuck to his little father, he stopped crying and opened his eyes and his toothless mouth.

 

Then… he blew bubbles.

 

Yan Muning’s heart melted by his cuteness, and he sighed, “Forget it, it’s fine even if you’re ugly, Father won’t abandon you.”

 

Yun Jiangli: “……”

 

.

 

After all, Yan Muning was young. After giving birth to Ah Can, his body recovered quickly. On the third day, he got out of bed and took a walk with the help of Yun Jiangli under the advice of the maid and the old hall master.

 

However, he consumed too much energy during the labor and felt tired after walking a few steps. He also slept more than usual.

 

It only took Yun Jiangli one day to learn how to take care of the little prince, but he still had trouble taking care of his own child.

 

Ah Can seemed to have a natural affinity with Yan Muning.

 

Maybe it was because he had grown in his father’s belly for a few months, so he was particularly well-behaved whenever he lay beside Yan Muning.

 

But on the contrary, if Yan Muning was not there and only Yun Jiang was around, then Ah Can would most likely start howling.

 

That afternoon, Ah Can was full and was sleeping next to Yan Muming. The two fathers, one sitting and another lying around him, talking.

 

“Ah Li, maybe I’ve gotten used to it these past two days, but I think the child isn’t that ugly anymore?”

 

The little prince stared at the child with a sharp gaze.

 

Yun Jiangli nodded and agreed, “En, not ugly anymore.”

 

Thinking of what the Old Steward Zhou said that day, he added, “It is said that children are like this when they are just born, and they will be good-looking in a few days.”

 

The little prince slept well last night and was very energetic at this moment. He observed it seriously for a while and said, “That’s right, I think Ah Can’s mouth is very similar to yours!”

 

Yun Jiangli looked at him carefully for a long time, but he didn’t understand what he was saying. He didn’t even know whether he was being praised or implied by his lover.

 

The little prince seemed to be particularly interested in studying his own child. After looking at his face, he began to observe other things: “Ah Li, don’t you think his sleeping posture is too unrestrained?”

 

After thinking for a while, the little prince finally found a suitable description: “He… he sleeps like a little turtle turning over its shell…”

 

Yun Jiangli: “……”

 

As soon as the little prince finished speaking, he pinched the child’s paw and looked at it: “These fingers are so short! You and I both have slender fingers. I wonder if they will be better when he grows up…”

 

Seeing that the little prince was about to reach for the child’s belly, Yun Jiangli immediately raised his hand and held him and asked softly, “Are you sleepy, Xiao Qi? How about you take a nap with Ah Can?”

 

Young Hall Master Yun felt that if he did not stop the youth, he didn’t know what would happen to his son at the hands of this unreliable father.

 

.

 

As the old steward said, after just a dozen days, Ah Can has completely lost the ugly, wrinkled appearance he had when he was just born. The nanny has also taken good care of him, and Ah Can has now grown into a white and chubby little dumpling.

 

He has already vaguely become handsome, and he really has the advantages of both fathers in one.

 

The round eyes were exactly like the little prince’s and were particularly pleasing. The nose was like Yun Jiangli’s, tall and delicate. The mouth was a balance between the two of them, with thin lips like Yun Jiangli but the corners of the lips were slightly upturned like the little prince’s, with a natural smile.

 

The most troublesome thing is that not only does he look like his two fathers, but his personalities are also similar. It’s just this personality…

 

Ah Can was very opinionated and chose to inherit the most difficult characteristics of his two fathers—

 

He’s cheerful like Yan Muning but is an old fox like Yun Jiangli.

 

For example, a half-month-old baby can only lie in bed, but he can make so much noise that he needs ten people to watch over him in order to deal with him.

 

For example, when he was alone with Yun Jiangli, Ah Can would calmly stare at his big father with his round eyes. But when he was alone with Yan Muning, Ah Can would always smile until his eyes crooked and would occasionally blow bubbles to make his little father happy.

 

The most outrageous thing is that when Yun Jiangli and Yan Muning are both around, Ah Can insists on being held by his little father. As soon as Yun Jiangli holds him, he immediately starts howling at the top of his lungs. Those who don’t know would think that he was spanked by Yun Jiangli.

 

But once he got close to Yan Muning, his crying stopped abruptly, and he instantly changed into a silly smile, which was both smooth and seamless.

 

Not only that, Yun Jiangli also found that when he was held in Yan Muning’s arms, that little child would look at him with a particularly provocative look as well! 

 

Yun Jiangli: !!

 

Who does this little fox resemble?

 

Ah Can, who is getting more and more cute as he grows older, has learned the skill of winning favor without any instruction.

 

Yun Jiangli secretly kissed the little prince. As long as Ah Can was awake, he would howl twice to attract his little father’s attention and then let his big father miss the kiss.

 

When Yun Jiangli hugged his beloved youth and prepared to go to sleep, Ah Can would make some noises, and when the little prince carried him to the big bed, he would immediately act cute and obedient.

 

Usually, when the little prince coaxed his child to sleep, he would also fall asleep himself.

 

Just like this, he had to guard his sweet and soft little lover every day, but he couldn’t kiss or hug him. Yun Jiangli gritted his teeth and looked at the bed curtain, enduring the young flame that had nowhere to release.

 

Finally, on the day of Ah Can’s full moon, Yun Jiangli decided that he couldn’t bear it anymore.

 

.

 

Ah Can’s full-moon banquet was not held in a grand manner according to Yan Muning’s wishes. After all, his wedding ceremony with Yun Jiangli had not yet taken place, so only close people were invited to the full-moon banquet.

 

On this day, the emperor gave him a great name, which is Yan Qingyun.

 

Yan Muning liked this name very much. This name had a connotation that Yan Muning was in love with Yun Jiangli.

 

Although not many people were invited, but they were all familiar people, including princes, shizi, and generals, so they were more relaxed. The airs they put on outside were all removed, and the whole Prince An’s mansion was noisy for the whole day.

 

The little prince has already finished his confinement and is finally free from those annoying dietary restrictions, which has really excited him.

 

He ate a lot of wine-brewed Ruyi cake and finally got a chance to taste the wine that Yuchi Che had brought from the western border. It was really mellow.

 

Although it was Ah Can’s full-moon banquet, but the protagonist was taken back to the chamber by the nanny to sleep early.

 

Yun Jiangli watched his child being carried away, his lips slightly raised, his long eyelashes drooping to hide the smugness in his eyes.

 

After drinking a few more cups of wine, Yun Jiangli secretly glanced at the youth and estimated that the youth had drunk enough, so he went to Prince Cheng and whispered, “It’s getting late, I’ll take Ah Ning back to the room first.”

 

Prince Cheng nodded in agreement.

 

On this side, Yuchi Zhao was still making a fuss with Yan Muning but was suddenly patted on the shoulder by Yun Jiangli, which startled him.

 

Seeing Yun Jiangli was about to take Yan Muning away, Yuchi was drunk and stopped him: “It’s still early… why are you in such a hurry?”

 

There was someone who was even more anxious than Yun Jiangli, it was Chen Tan. Seeing the opportunity coming, he immediately dragged his own Shizi back to his room.

 

.

 

Having not drunk alcohol for a year, he even drank strong liquor from the Western Territory right away as well, so he was also a little dizzy at this moment. He followed Yun Jiangli out of the hall and was immediately intoxicated by the night wind.

 

“Hehe, whose big beauty is this?”

 

The little prince smiled cutely, swaying and a little unsteady, and only after tugging at Yun Jiangli’s sleeve did he stand still.

 

Yun Jiangli: “……”

 

He didn’t drink too much, why couldn’t he even recognize him?

 

He put his arm around the little prince’s shoulders in a good-natured manner and helped him walk towards the bedroom while following the drunkard’s words and saying, “Yours.”

 

“Hey!”

 

The little prince was excited and patted Yun Jiangli’s chest, “The beauty is quite sensible!”

 

Yun Jiangli was even more speechless. Where did he learn this?

 

After half dragging and half carrying the uncooperative drunkard back to the bedroom, Yan Muning turned around and raised his hand to push Yun Jiangli against the door as soon as the door was closed.

 

Yun Jiangli looked down at the youth helplessly, wondering what this little thing was trying to do.

 

The little prince looked up at the big beauty, who was taller than him, in a daze, and smiled and put his hands around her neck: “Beauty!”

 

After saying that, he was about to kiss him.

 

Yun Jiangli was so confused. Is this how this little thing behaves when he sees a beauty?

 

“Do you know who I am?”

 

Yun Jiangli frowned and deliberately stood on tiptoe to prevent the little prince from reaching him.

 

The little prince, who had no height advantage, was a little dissatisfied and pouted, muttering, “You are the big beauty! Mine!”

 

In the past, Yun Jiangli would not have asked again, but the little prince clearly did not recognize him just now.

 

Yun jealous Jiangli insisted, “Who is the big beauty?”

 

The little prince looked at him like a fool and snorted, “Tsk! Ah Li, are you drunk today?”

 

Yun Jiangli: “……”

 

He stopped dodging and let the drunkard do what he wanted.

 

The little prince first slapped Yun Jiangli on the face with both hands, then pulled him down hard and came up to give him a loud kiss on the forehead.

 

After that, he dragged him inside.

 

Before reaching the bed, when passing by the narrow couch, the little prince suddenly stopped and tilted his head to look at the couch.

 

Yun Jiangli’s eyebrows jumped—

 

Sure enough, the next moment, the little prince pushed him down on the narrow couch, just like he did in Jinzhou.

 

Yun Jiangli was almost laughing out of anger. This little thing’s reaction after drinking really didn’t change at all.

 

However, he only guessed right at the beginning…

 

Because right after that, the little prince dived into his arms, Yun Jiangli raised his hands to hold him, and sniffed the familiar smell in front of him with satisfaction.

 

Then, a uniform, familiar, small snoring sound came from his arms.

 

Yun Jiangli: “……”

 

The kid is not here today, but he feels even angrier!
