Looking at the affectionate Qi Haoran who refused to leave his son for a moment, Mu Yangling felt inexplicably jealous. She pouted and turned around to get food.
The palace maids serving her stood far away, while Spring and the servants serving her son stayed outside to listen to orders. When they saw Mu Yangling come out, they hurriedly went forward. “Fourth Madam.”
“Bring me the porridge.”
Spring knew that Qi Haoran did not like the servants to be around when he was with Mu Yangling. Hearing this, she turned around and handed the earthenware pot to Mu Yangling.
Although those palace maids were curious as to why Spring and the others did not enter the room to serve them, those who could survive in the deep palace knew what to ask and what not to ask. Therefore, they hid their curiosity tightly.
Seated on the side of the bed, Mu Yangling watched as Qi Haoran coaxed his son while constantly stuffing porridge into his mouth.
Mu Yangling looked at her sleeping son and then at Qi Haoran, who was humming softly and muttering non-stop. She couldn’t help but whisper, “Stop coaxing him. He’s already asleep. Don’t wake him up again. Should he wake up, will you be responsible for coaxing him back to sleep?”
Qi Haoran pouted and muttered a few words. Only then did he place his son in his arms and stop moving. He focused on eating the porridge.
However, he was picky despite the fact that someone was feeding him. After a while, he said, “Why is there only so little meat in this porridge? There’s more meat over there, scoop that up…”
At first, Mu Yangling did as he said and scooped some for him to eat. Towards the end, she completely ignored him and simply casually scooped some into his mouth. She said, “You have to finish all of it anyway…”
Qi Haoran muttered, “How can a pot of porridge be enough…”
His appetite was huge. Now that he’d returned to his comfortable life, he felt that he could swallow a pig without any problem.
“I know you’re hungry, but how can you eat so much meat all of a sudden when you’ve been starved for so long previously? Your stomach will be damaged should you eat that way.”
Qi Haoran snorted and lay down slightly with his son in his arms. “I want to sleep for a while. Wake me up when it’s time. I’ll go with you to see Sister-in-law and Little Treasure…”
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Haoran fell asleep.
Mu Yangling knew that he was tired, so she quietly brought the things out before returning to the room. She saw that Qi Haoran had already turned his body slightly to face their son as he slept, and Little Bear was lying beside his father with his limbs spread out. His little mouth was slightly open as he slept soundly.
Mu Yangling stood at the side for a while and realized that the father and son’s breathing had synchronized. She pursed her lips and smiled slightly. Leaning against the side of the bed, she quietly watched them. Unknowingly, she fell asleep leaning against the bedpost.
Qi Haoran had long developed a biological clock in the wild. Although he was tired, he still opened his eyes in high spirits after sleeping for only two hours. He first saw his son lying not far away, then his wife leaning against the bed.
Qi Haoran hurriedly and carefully moved his son to the innermost area before getting up to carry his wife and lie her down.
The moment he moved, Mu Yangling woke up. As she had fallen asleep leaning against the side of the bed, her neck felt a little uncomfortable now. Qi Haoran muttered, “Why didn’t you sleep on the bed when there’s so much space? You’re really silly.”
“I didn’t want to sleep. I just wanted to look at you.”
Amused, Qi Haoran said smugly, “I’m right here. Feel free to look.”
The corners of Mu Yangling’s lips twitched slightly. She lay down beside him and closed her eyes slightly, ignoring him. Qi Haoran looked at Mu Yangling for a long time. He probably felt that his son was more attractive, so he turned around to stare at his son. After a while, when he saw that no one was paying attention in the room, he secretly reached out and pulled his son’s legs apart to look at his ******
Mu Yangling happened to open her eyes and was dumbfounded.
After confirming that it was indeed a son, Qi Haoran’s smile deepened and he put down his legs in satisfaction. Just as Mu Yangling was about to ask him if he favored boys over girls, she saw him carefully arrange their son’s legs into a heart shape before gently placing his spread-open arms back beside his mouth…
Mu Yangling closed her mouth and closed her eyes. Alright, this fellow was playing with their son.
Probably because he felt uncomfortable sleeping in such a position, Little Bear pouted slightly and frowned slightly. When Qi Haoran saw this, he quickly arranged his legs and arms, as if he had done something evil and was discovered. He clasped his hands in front of his chest and closed his eyes tightly, pretending to sleep.
Mu Yangling tried enduring it initially, but in the end, she couldn’t help but kick him. She said in a low voice, “You’re not allowed to bully our son like this in the future. Be careful that he won’t settle scores with you when he grows up.”
Qi Haoran felt a little sheepish, but he still muttered, “I’m his father. How dare he!”
Mu Yangling snorted. “Why are you still acting like a child when you’re already an adult?” Mu Yangling said as she stretched out her leg and kept hitting his leg.
Qi Haoran grabbed her foot and turned slightly to face Mu Yangling. “I just wanted to fiddle with him to confirm if he’s my son.”
Mu Yangling was stunned. Then, she exerted strength in her legs and slapped him. She snapped angrily, “What do you mean? If I didn’t give birth to your son, whose son did I give birth to?”
Yet to realize that he had said the wrong thing, Qi Haoran only sighed and said, “But I just feel that it’s very magical. When I left, your stomach was only so small. When I came back, my son was already so big…”
At this point, Qi Haoran felt a little guilty. He hugged Mu Yangling and said, “I wasn’t around when you gave birth. I didn’t participate in the child’s growth either…”
Feeling a little better, Mu Yangling thought for a moment and said, “You had
no choice. It just so happened that there’s a war when I gave birth.”
Qi Haoran held Mu Yangling’s hand and did not say anything. Mu Yangling lay quietly in his arms. Just as she was about to enjoy this moment of peace, a certain someone’s hand became naughty.
Mu Yangling closed her eyes slightly and pretended not to see it. Seeing that he was getting more and more overboard, she couldn’t help but grab his hand that had already slipped into her clothes. “Stop fooling around. This is the harem in the palace. Do you want to die?”
The Emperor allowed Qi Haoran to visit them, but he would definitely not allow Qi Haoran to do such a thing in the harem, even if they were husband and wife.
Qi Haoran bit her ear and said, “The palace maids are all outside. Just keep your voice down. There’s water in the bathroom…”
Unwilling to take the risk, Mu Yangling pushed him away slightly, her breathing a little rapid. “Don’t mess around. Be careful that the Emperor won’t let you visit us next time.”
Qi Haoran paused and squeezed Mu Yangling slightly. With reddened eyes, he hugged her tightly and said in a low voice, “I just feel terrible.”
Mu Yangling gasped, but seeing Qi Haoran like this, she couldn’t bear to reprimand him. After hesitating for a moment, she reached for his lower body. This time, it was Qi Haoran’s turn to gasp.
Qi Haoran hugged Mu Yangling excitedly and whispered passionately into her ear, “Ah Ling, Ah Ling…”
Mu Yangling’s face was red. As her hand was a little clumsy, Qi Haoran laid his hand over hers and guided her…
By the time Mu Yangling’s hands were sore, Qi Haoran finally let it all out. He lay on the bed for a while before going to the bathroom to wash up, feeling refreshed. Mu Yangling’s face was red as she secretly opened the window to let out the smell in the room..
