Chapter 75: with translation of chapter title

Feng Xuanbin's crying like that actually dispelled half of the sad atmosphere.

Princess Consort of Qi restrained her emotions a little, gently wiped her tears, and gently loosened her hold on the three children.

Feng Xuanbin had just squeezed in, tears flowing freely, when he realized he had been let go.

He blankly turned his head, looked at the Sixth Prince and his sister, then at Mother Consort, and asked foolishly: "Mother Consort, aren't you crying anymore?"

Sui Sui also didn't understand, at a loss, looked left and right, then leaned toward Feng Xuanrui.

Feng Xuanbin originally was still curious, wondering whether he should cry or not.

Seeing his sister avoiding him, he cried out sadly twice: "Sister, don't hide from Seventh Brother, Seventh Brother has candy!"

Princess Consort of Qi's sad emotions, interrupted by the three children, were completely gone.

She thought, as long as the children are back, that's good!

After simply tidying her appearance, Princess Consort of Qi first looked at Feng Xuanrui.

After not seeing each other for over a month, the young boy not only hadn't lost weight, but had gained several jin of flesh.

That face...

Had become a bit rounder.

Thinking about Feng Xuanrui's earlier foot injury, Princess Consort of Qi anxiously asked: "Does your foot still hurt?"

When Mother Consort asked, Feng Xuanrui was initially quite bewildered.

Foot?

What foot?

Where does it hurt?

Children always forget the pain once the wound heals.

Who still remembers that they once injured their foot?

Now that Mother Consort asked, he thought carefully and then let out a long sigh: "It doesn't hurt anymore, it hasn't hurt for a long time."

How long ago was that?

It's not a big deal; could it still hurt now?

Hearing him say it doesn't hurt, Princess Consort of Qi felt a bit relieved, then turned to Liu Dafu and asked: "Could there be any lingering illness?"

Listening to Liu Dafu repeatedly assure that there was no problem, and that he usually looks after the Sixth Prince, Princess Consort of Qi finally felt at ease.

Thinking about the hardships and fatigue the children endured along the way, Princess Consort of Qi couldn't help but feel heartache.

Fortunately, the children have returned.

Thinking of these, Princess Consort of Qi turned her head to look at Sui Sui.

Seeing the little girl glance at her timidly and nervously, then quickly avert her gaze, not daring to look again, Princess Consort of Qi felt mixed emotions.

Upon learning that the other party was the daughter of the Jin Yang Marquis, Princess Consort of Qi felt uneasy.

Dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes.

The offspring of rats know how to dig burrows.

Princess Consort of Qi truly feared that from that clump of bad bamboo, no good shoot would emerge.

But after hearing about the experiences of Prince Qing's entourage.

Sui Sui's appearance first saved Little Six who had fallen off a cliff by mistake, and then, because she had a fever, she inadvertently reminded them that they didn't travel that day, thus avoiding a deadly peril.

On the first and fifteenth of each lunar month, Princess Consort of Qi also goes to the temple outside the city to burn incense and pray for blessings; she still believes in these.

She felt that Sui Sui might be a little lucky star sent from heaven.

Only, the Jin Yang Marquis's manor lacked this fortune, and they merely picked up a bargain.

Moreover, the Jin Yang Marquis's manor has already acknowledged one child back; even if they discover they made a mistake, they would likely have to grit their teeth and accept it.

After all, mistaking a child's identity...

is not very dignified or glorious.

Furthermore, Sui Sui's household registration has been cancelled by them, making her a black household now.

One could say she is Chen Sui Sui, or she could be Feng Sui Sui.

Who can say clearly about this matter?

Moreover, who would dare cause trouble at their Qi Wang Fu?

The more Princess Consort of Qi thought about it, the more confident she felt.

Most likely it's because Sui Sui's lifesaving kindness to Feng Xuanrui moved her compassion.

She is also a pitiful child!

Thinking of these, Princess Consort of Qi beckoned to Sui Sui: "Sui Sui, come over here to Mother Consort, let Mother Consort take a look."

Princess Consort of Qi thought, she had long hoped for a daughter these years; now, without risking her own life to give birth, she has a well-behaved, soft daughter full of blessings—how could that not be good?

This child has a fateful connection with Little Six; perhaps it was destined that she would be her daughter.

Princess Consort of Qi's voice was gentle, her expression kind.

Sui Sui furtively glanced at the Princess Consort, then at her brother.

Feng Xuanrui encouragingly patted Sui Sui's shoulder: "Go on, sister, that's our Mother Consort, she's nice."

Feng Xuanbin didn't quite understand the situation, but he didn't delay in following Sixth Brother's lead to encourage his sister: "Right, right, right, sister, hurry over, Mother Consort is nice!"

With both brothers encouraging her, Princess Consort of Qi was also very kind.

Sui Sui took a deep breath and stepped forward with small steps.

Waiting for her was Princess Consort of Qi's warm embrace: "Sui Sui, you have suffered before."

After the hug, Princess Consort of Qi gently lifted the child up.

Since Feng Xuanrui grew up, Princess Consort of Qi has rarely held a child.

Even when Feng Xuanrui was a child, she rarely went to hold the child.

With so many maids and servants around, there's no need for her to personally hold the child.

When she feels affection and closeness, a brief hold is enough.

Not having held the child for a long time, the Princess Consort of Qi even feared she couldn't hold it, thinking that if she couldn't, she would just squat there and hold it briefly.

As a result, a light hold, and the child stood up.

Sui Sui was thin and frail, beyond her imagination.

Thinking of the child's difficult past, and then feeling this frail little bone on her body, the Princess Consort of Qi's eyes reddened uncontrollably.

She gently placed her head on Sui Sui's shoulder, lightly rubbing the little girl's cheek: "Sui Sui, rest assured living in the Wangfu; from now on you have a Mother Consort and an older brother."

Thinking of the improper Prince, the Princess Consort of Qi still didn't say it, and there were also the Father King's words.

Prince Qi's Father King...

Whether there is or not, it doesn't really matter, right?

The Princess Consort of Qi felt relieved; although Prince Qing is blunt, he still knows boundaries in many matters and won't ask too much.

Otherwise, if it were someone narrow-minded, just now if they asked: "What is Prince Qi brother doing at the villa?"

The Princess Consort of Qi didn't even know how to say it.

Say the Prince consulted a master to calculate auspicious time, position, and person, then brought a concubine to the villa to give birth to a daughter?

If those words were spoken, the Princess Consort of Qi herself would lose face!

The Princess Consort of Qi felt that although she also wanted a daughter very much, she wasn't as crazy as the Prince.

He now isn't just wanting a daughter, is he?

That's him fulfilling his own obsession, right?

The Princess Consort of Qi can't control it, and she's too lazy to bother more.

Anyway, it doesn't affect her and the child's status; they live normally.

Prince...

However he wants to toss around, let him do so.

Sui Sui was held in the Pretty aunt's embrace, smelling the fragrant scent, her whole person seemed as if dwelling in a dream.

She somewhat couldn't believe, is this scene before her eyes real?

The older brother's Mother Consort, so gentle!

Is this the mother's gentleness?

Sui Sui doesn't understand.

But she is very reluctant to leave such an embrace.

Moreover, the Pretty aunt said "Mother Consort"; does that mean I can also call her Mother Consort?

Sui Sui is uncertain, being held in the Pretty aunt's embrace, and it's not proper to look around for the older brother.

She gathered her courage, lightly grabbed a corner of the Princess Consort of Qi's clothing, her voice small, filled with apprehension and disbelief: "... Mother Consort?"
