Chapter 273

The eldest brother explained, the second brother also soothed her, and Sui Sui quickly accepted the gift, then politely and obediently bowed to thank the second brother.

Feng Xuan Yu suddenly felt embarrassed by his sister's such solemn thanks.

He raised his hand to scratch his head, hehe smiled showing a mouthful of big white teeth: "It's fine, as long as you like it, sis; next time second brother hunts something else, I'll save some for you."

Sui Sui although hearing it a bit scared, but second brother indeed had good intentions, so she also happily nodded: "Mm, I'm waiting, second brother."

After saying that, the little child tilted her head, thought a moment, then quickly said: "Thank you, second brother."

The children soon happily gathered together again.

Only the young ladies like the box of folding fans that Feng Xuanze gave.

So, the sister couldn't put it down; even when held by the elder brother in his arms, she still couldn't resist wanting to touch it.

Feng Xuanze understood the child's delight, so he accompanied her in picking an everyday one, then let Sui Sui keep holding it in her hand, liking it.

Let Xiang Gugu keep the others for now; later Sui Sui can pick whichever she likes and use it.

Anyway, there are so many.

If she doesn't like any, or has used them all and grown bored, Feng Xuanze thinks he can just pick some more.

Compared to Sui Sui liking more the folding fans given by the eldest brother, the young masters naturally prefer the bow given by Feng Xuan Yu.

All the young lads are hot-blooded and impulsive, so they naturally feel delighted and attentive toward these things.

Although, second brother has also given them these before.

But, it's different!

Sui Sui's bow is especially small.

"Indeed it suits the little sister, how dainty."

"Exactly, I can pull it open, hehe, a nice bow."

"With that little strength of yours, keep it for yourself."

"I can still pull it to full draw."

……

Feng Xuanrui and Feng Xuanbin are the main forces in arguing and bickering.

After all, they are young, similar in age, and they start quarreling at the slightest disagreement, which is quite normal.

Feng Xuanbo felt their arguing gave him a headache, so he quickly interjected.

Then...

He also joined in, and started arguing with the two younger brothers.

This argument among the three made the situation spiral out of control.

Sui Sui was also taken by this brother, held by that brother, to touch the wolf's fang, to try the bow.

Prince Qi sat not far away watching this scene, couldn't help but nod and smile.

Princess Consort of Qi, seeing his good mood, casually reminded him: "Remember to go see Concubine Guo today."

Prince Qi is still quite obedient, plus he's in a good mood, so upon hearing the princess consort's words, he smiled and nodded: "Speaking of which, the obedient one earlier also said that Father King will have many, many sons in the future; I originally thought..."

"I originally thought there were none."

"As it turned out, another one came unexpectedly."

"I feel both surprised and delighted."

"Although I also hoped it would be a daughter."

"However, Prince Qi thought, he already has Sui Sui; one shouldn't be too greedy."

"So, having a son is also fine."

"Mainly because Sui Sui said it's a son."

"Then it's likely a son."

"Sometimes children can indeed see things that others cannot."

"The little Eight in the Residence..."

"Is also not bad."

"Turn back and look through ancient books, see if there's a suitable character to use as Little Eight's name."

"The children played until exhausted, and besides, Feng Xuanze and Feng Xuan Yu still have to get up early tomorrow morning."

"So, seeing they were tired, Princess Consort of Qi arranged for them to go rest."

"Princess Consort of Qi thought, the children haven't returned for a while; Lady Ren Ce Fei probably also misses them in her heart."

"So, while urging the children to go rest, Princess Consort of Qi also quietly told Feng Xuan Yu: 'If you miss your mother, go back to the Eastern Wing to sleep.'"

"Lady Ren Ce Fei's courtyard also has quite a few rooms."

"Although grown sons should avoid their mothers, it's just sleeping next door; the mother and son can chat a bit, it's no big deal."

"Feng Xuan Yu obediently nodded: 'I understand, Mother Consort.'"

"Feng Xuanbo originally did not want to return to his mother's quarters."

"His mother's place is really too fragrant!"

"Every time Feng Xuanbo goes there, he gets perfumed all over."

"He is a young lad, a man; how can he become so fragrant?"

"So, he won't go!"

"But, seeing that second brother is going, he again feels inclined."

"The two brothers turned a corner and went to the Eastern Wing."

"Feng Xuanbin, upon seeing, also ran and jumped, saying he wanted to go find his mother."

"Feng Xuanjie and Feng Xuancang, upon seeing, exchanged a glance, then also silently followed behind; anyway, on the first day of the month, Father King definitely won't go to the Eastern Wing."

So, they also went to accompany their respective mothers.

Everyone went to their mothers' side, leaving Feng Xuanze and Feng Xuanrui behind.

Feng Xuanrui looked puzzled and said, "Why is everyone going back to their mothers?"

Feng Xuanze, being older, is also getting more used to the separation.

So, it's fine for him either to go back to the south courtyard to sleep or to stay in the main courtyard.

However, judging by Feng Xuanrui's demeanor, he definitely still wants to stay in the main courtyard.

So, the two brothers ended up not leaving after all.

Prince Qi didn't want to be separated from Sui Sui, but with several children in the room, he also agreed to the princess consort's request.

In the end, he could only reluctantly hug Sui Sui, and then he left, looking back every few steps.

Feng Xuanze was puzzled: today is the first day of the month, so why isn't Father King staying in the main courtyard?

Although Feng Xuanze was puzzled, he wouldn't ask, for fear of upsetting Mother Consort if she heard.

On the other hand, Feng Xuanrui had no such worries and asked bluntly, "Is Father King going to see Xiao Ba?"

Feng Xuanze looked puzzled.

Xiao Ba?

There are only seven sons in their household.

If you count Sui Sui as a sister, that makes only eight.

Even if there is Xiao Ba, it should still be Sui Sui, right?

Feng Xuanze quickly figured it out.

He hesitantly looked toward the mother consort, wanting to ask but feeling embarrassed to do so.

Fortunately, the Princess Consort of Qi understood his doubt, smiled, and picked up Sui Sui, saying, "Mm, he went to see Xiao Ba. Concubine Guo just conceived, her pregnancy looks good, she's about three months along, likely the fetus is stable, but Concubine Guo's health is not strong, so we still need to be careful; let Father King visit more often to put her at ease, which is also good for Xiao Ba."

Also "Father King" is Father King (already in glossary). "Little Eight" we decided to keep as Little Eight.

It really seems that a concubine in the rear courtyard is pregnant, huh?

This news is somewhat unexpected.

After hearing that, Feng Xuanze drifted off for a moment, thinking...

Which one is Concubine Guo again?

In recent years, Father King, hoping for a daughter, has been rotating the women in the rear courtyard too quickly.

As a son of the household, he also shouldn't pay too much attention to Father King's rear courtyard, so aside from the two familiar concubines and the long-serving maids, he doesn't get involved much.

Most of the time, Feng Xuanze is not familiar with the women in the rear courtyard.

At this point, when the mother consort brought it up, Feng Xuanze could even forget what she looked like, her age, and her family background.

Sui Sui hasn't even seen a child being born yet, Aunt Guo is very kind to her, and even specially obtained a peace talisman for her.

So, when Mother Consort brought it up now, Sui Sui was quite eager: "Eighth brother must be so cute, I want a little brother!"

If it were placed at Shen Shen's house, that would be a ghost story.

Having multiple younger brothers is just having another person to bully you.

But, if it's in one's own home…

That must be something pleasant, right?

Sui Sui thought cautiously: I hope Little Eight is a cute brother.

It has to be cute!

Second watch.
