Translation: "Feng Xuanrui had long been unable to wait; seeing Mother Consort, he rushed over and shouted loudly: 'Mother Consort, I'm back!'"

Translation: "Over the past month or so, Feng Xuanrui had indeed missed home, missed Father King, Mother Consort, and the people in the manor."

After throwing himself at them, he began to wail loudly.

The Qi consort reached out, pulled Sui Sui in as well, and gave her a comforting pat.

Although she didn't know how her eldest son could go out on a trip and bring back a little child.

Translation: "Although she didn't know how her eldest son, after going out, had brought back a little child."

But it's fine, I'll ask slowly later.

Now it's certain; as long as the son returns safely, that's good.

At this moment, Princess Consort of Qi gently stroked her son's nape, slowly soothing him: "Just coming back is good, just coming back is good; next time you must not scare Mother Consort like this."

Prince Qing was still present, so Princess Consort of Qi couldn't lose her composure; she forcefully held back her tears, slowly swallowing them back.

Feng Xuanrui cried like a duck with its neck choked, not pleasant to hear, but one could tell he was truly aggrieved and also missed home.

The previously stubborn little boy who refused to admit fault now also wailed: "I was wrong, Mother Consort, waa waa, I will never do this again."

"I'm back, I'll definitely obey, waa!"

……

Liu Dafu listened from the side, suppressing the urge to roll his eyes, thinking: Sixth Prince, when have you ever not said that?

This lesson will at most make you remember it for a few more days.

Change?

That's impossible!

Anyway, Liu Dafu doesn't believe it.

A child this big has no credibility; there's no need to listen to them.

Princess Consort of Qi, viewing through a mother's lens, felt her son had truly suffered, knew he was wrong, and kept soothing him with heartache.

Feng Xuanrui cried for a while, his voice almost hoarse, before he finally turned around……

Right, there's also the younger sister!

Thinking of this, Feng Xuanrui broke free from Mother Consort's embrace.

With that struggle, Princess Consort of Qi instinctively loosened her grip, and little Sui Sui came out as well.

Sui Sui was completely at a loss at this moment.

She was embraced by the dignified and pretty aunt without any preparation.

Although it was just incidental, ……

The aunt smelled wonderful, and holding her felt warm.

If only this person were my mother.

Sui Sui knows she has a mother.

But her mother passed away early, and she hardly remembers her.

Sui Sui knows that such thoughts are greedy.

She thinks, not saying it out loud, she secretly hopes for it in her heart.

Sui Sui dare not hope that her dream will become reality.

She thinks, if she can't get it, maybe she can still dream to satisfy herself.

After Feng Xuanrui broke free from Princess Consort of Qi's embrace, he pulled Sui Sui close, wiped away a tear, and then loudly said: "Mother Consort, look, this is my sister, Sui Sui, Sui Sui the peaceful Sui Sui— isn't she adorable?"

The second watch is at 19:00.
