Chapter 222: Children's Happiness

Meng Ce Fei looked at Sui Sui's troubled little appearance, couldn't help but laugh a little.

She knew Sui Sui was currently ill, and it was the time when she most relied on the people she trusted.

Her accompanying time was still not enough, so Sui Sui might not be that close to her yet.

After thinking it through, Meng Ce Fei felt some regret in her heart, but not much.

She is not like Ren Ce Fei, who makes the child cry then coaxes them, finding that fun.

Unable to bear seeing a child in distress, Meng Ce Fei quickly said with a smile: "Aunt Meng is just teasing you, good child."

Upon hearing that she didn't need to accompany her, Sui Sui happily narrowed her eyes and smiled.

Sui Sui thought: Although I can't accompany Aunt Meng, there must be someone else who can accompany me, right?

Thinking of this, Sui Sui softly said: "Aunt Meng, don't worry, you'll also have someone to accompany you!"

Meng Ce Fei thought: She had only given birth to a son, Xiao San is already that big; it wouldn't be proper to still sleep with his birth mother, would it?

When a son grows up, he avoids his mother; even if Feng Xuancang were willing, she wouldn't be happy either!

However, children's innocent words don't need to be taken too seriously.

Meng Ce Fei smiled: "Alright, then I'll borrow Sui Sui's auspicious words."

Sui Sui's sweet soup hasn't been finished yet.

Meng Ce Fei stopped disturbing her, chatted a bit more with the Princess Consort before leaving.

In the afternoon, the sunlight was nice; Princess Consort of Qi took Sui Sui to the rear garden to look at Flower.

Feng Xuanrui said he would dig up the small flower garden, but the plan hasn't been carried out; the flowers in the garden are still quite nice.

Now is exactly the time when spring warmth brings flowers to bloom; many flowers have bloomed one after another.

Princess Consort of Qi now dares not say which one she favors, which she likes.

Afraid that tomorrow upon waking, she'll hear the attendants say: "Princess Consort, the flowers everywhere have bloomed overnight, utterly beautiful!"

She can't bear to hear that now!

Just hearing it makes her heart tremble!

So, when introducing to Sui Sui, they all say: "This one looks nice."

That one is also pretty.

When this Flower blooms, it's heart-shaped.

That one is layered together.

……

Adding one more subjective word, Princess Consort of Qi dares not say.

Sui Sui didn't notice these; a child couldn't think that much either.

She happily accompanied Mother Consort by her side, occasionally leaning against Mother Consort's skirt to smell her fragrant scent, then continuously clapping: "Sui Sui also likes it."

Sui Sui is prettier than the Flower!

When the time comes, Sui Sui will accompany Mother Consort to watch!

……

The little maiden is becoming more and more confident.

This gives Princess Consort of Qi a small Sense of accomplishment.

However, Princess Consort of Qi is temporarily not very satisfied, or rather, not content.

Her child ought to be a more vibrant existence than the fragrance filling the whole garden.

Thinking of this, Princess Consort of Qi gently touched the little maiden's head: "Mmm, Mother Consort awaits Sui Sui's companionship, and she is also a lovely Sui Sui."

Sui Sui felt a bit happy from being touched by Mother Consort, rubbed her hand, and solemnly nodded: "Sui Sui will get chubby!"

At dinner, Sui Sui silently devoured a big meat bun.

Xiang Gugu watched from the side; seeing Sui Sui still wanting to eat, she hurriedly advised: "You can't eat like that, it'll cause food stagnation and discomfort; gaining weight isn't overnight, let's not rush, let's grow slowly."

Sui Sui indeed felt a bit full from eating.

So, after Xiang Gugu's advice, she obediently put it down and ate no more.

Dinner was eaten together by Prince Qi, the Princess Consort, and the children of the Residence.

The young masters worried about Sui Sui's condition; after coming over, they first played with Sui Sui for a while, found the little maiden in good spirits, then honestly faced the Father King's lessons and tests.

Prince Qi himself is a poor student, so he couldn't score anything either.

In the end, they still followed Master Shen's given books and conducted a test.

The young masters' performance……

Feng Xuancang was the best, after all he is the oldest.

Don't look at Feng Xuanjie's small courage; when it's time to be a poor student, he truly inherits the trait, not lacking at all.

Feng Xuanbo needs no further mention.

He has many schemes, but none of them are used in his studies.

Feng Xuanrui and Feng Xuanbin are young, no need to elaborate.

After Prince Qi finished the test, he had a slight headache.

His knowledge surpasses theirs; what will we do from now on?

Prince Qi is somewhat worried, but the young masters didn't feel the old father's thoughts.

After eating, they took Sui Sui to play.

At first, they let Sui Sui ride the wooden horse, with several brothers taking turns swaying it.

Sui Sui happily cheered continuously there.

Afterwards, the brothers felt the wooden horse was boring.

It won't budge, huh? Let's tie a rope and pull it a bit?

I think so too; let's have more people push from behind.

The brothers discussed and came up with an idea.

Then one person sat on the wooden horse, one pulled from the front, and another pushed from behind.

Just this, and we still can't sort out who does what.

Feng Xuanrui immediately said, "Me, me, me—let's add another person to the wooden horse!"

Feng Xuanbin hearing that was unhappy: "No way, I'm the youngest—I should go first!"

Feng Xuancang, being the eldest, didn't contend with his brothers over this; he just watched, smiling.

Feng Xuanbo glanced at the two brothers deadlocking, necks strained, his eyes darted, he stepped ahead, reached the wooden horse, shielded Sui Sui, and smilingly told the driver this time: "Thanks, third brother!"

Feng Xuancang:...

Though speechless, he still answered with a smile: "All right, sit steady and keep Sui Sui safe."

Feng Xuanrui and Feng Xuanbin had still been arguing, but when they turned their heads they saw Xiao Wu had slipped in an opening, and they angrily charged forward.

Feng Xuancang saw things were off, signaled to the cart-pusher Feng Xuanjie: "Let's go, let's go!"

The two worked together—one pulled, one pushed—and the wooden horse started moving.

Since there are no wheels, the wooden horse's bottom scraping the floor produces some unpleasant noises.

But that noise was quickly drowned out by the bickering of Feng Xuanrui and Feng Xuanbin.

The two shouted as they charged ahead: "Damn Xiao Wu, ah ah ah—I'll bite you to death!"

"Fifth brother, you're completely wicked!"

"Give me the sister!"

The two charged forward like highway bandits, claws bared, which actually ratcheted up the atmosphere.

Prince Qi glanced over anxiously and called out loudly: "Xiao Wu, hold the sister tight—don't let her fall!"

Feng Xuanbo slipped in an opening and also embraced the sister, feeling quite pleased.

He held Sui Sui tightly, smiling and replying: "Don't worry, Father King!"

After replying, he didn't forget to lower his head and remind Sui Sui: "Sister, is this hold by Fifth Brother all right? If it feels tight, be sure to tell Fifth Brother—don't be afraid, Fifth Brother will protect you!"

Just then, when the wooden horse was jerked, Sui Sui felt a little panicked inside.

Now held by Fifth Brother in his arms, with Third Brother not pulling especially fast and two older brothers chasing nearby, the mood instantly lifted, and Sui Sui grew happy too, shaking her little head and saying happily: "Not scared, Fifth Brother—I'm not scared!"

Knowing Sui Sui wasn't scared, Feng Xuanbo instantly relaxed, then seeing Feng Xuanrui and Feng Xuanbin chasing, he smirked: "You two still can't manage this—so slow, didn't you eat enough tonight?"

Feng Xuanrui and Feng Xuanbin:???

The second watch is at 19:00.
