Chapter 371: 382

Shen Ninghua could not help but chuckle. “They are not stupid. Now that Father Emperor has the power and prestige, they do not dare to anger Father Emperor.”

Baili Junyi held her hand and pulled her into his embrace. He sighed slightly, “The unfortunate events happened one after another. I have no idea when it will end. Bu Jinglan, the Sixth Prince of the Great Yue Kingdom, will come in just a few days. I wonder what kind of trouble he will cause this time.”

Thinking of the unpredictable Bu Jinglan, Shen Ninghua curled her lips into a smirk. “I heard that he returned at that time because his old illness flared up. I wonder how he is now. It’s hard to say what kind of disaster Lin Feiran will have to face when she marries him.”

“The Lin Family wants to use her to completely secure the Great Yue Kingdom’s support for the Third Prince. They don’t even mind pushing their own daughter into a trap. Let’s just wait and see.”

“Okay.” Shen Ninghua nodded.

The weather gradually warmed up, so Shen Ninghua prepared the children’s wardrobe for the warmer weather and replaced Big Boy’s and Baby Girl’s thick cotton-padded clothes with something light and thin. After the makeover, the two children could walk faster, and they began to explore the entire mansion to their hearts’ content. They even explored Baili Junyi’s study.

Big Boy loved Baili Junyi’s study the most. He liked to collect all kinds of rare objects. A while ago, he pulled out the expensive orchid that Baili Junyi had planted in the study, intending to give it to Baby Girl as a collection. Unfortunately, Baby Girl preferred the shiny jade and stones to plants, so Big Boy threw away the orchid as if it was a worthless weed. When Baili Junyi saw the wilted orchid that was trampled by small footprints, he almost wanted to give Big Boy a good beating.

Shen Ninghua heard the children’s voices as soon as she got up. They had been awake for almost an hour and were energized and lively since they had their breakfast. When they heard that Shen Ninghua had woken up, they hurriedly came in one after the other and rushed to Shen Ninghua’s arms. “Mother, Mother, go play on the streets.”

Shen Ninghua hurriedly reached out to hold their backs, for fear that they would fall down. “Okay, okay, I got it. Give me a minute. Let me get up and wash up.” Three days ago, Baili Junyi had promised that he would take them to the streets today. To her surprise, they remembered it.

The two of them clenched their fists excitedly and obediently got up so as not to disturb Shen Ninghua. Big Boy even wanted to help Shen Ninghua carry the basin of water to wash her face, but Hong Ling stopped him.

“Master Bei Zi, please let me do it.”

Big Boy looked at the copper basin and then looked at his little hands. He wisely put his hands behind his back and said in a decent manner, “Okay, Aunt Hong Ling. Thank you for your hard work.”

Hong Ling forced herself to hold back her smile, so much so that her face turned red. “It’s my duty.” Big Boy was so likable and adorable.

Watching the scene, Shen Ninghua smiled as she took the towel from Rouqin. After the restoration of Bai Ruo’s identity, the Emperor gave her a mansion, and she had to move there. Luckily, it was not far from Royal Prince Yi Mansion, so she could visit them often. After that, Baili Junyi set a probation period for Xia Rouqin and observed her carefully. After making sure that she was okay, he allowed her to serve Shen Ninghua according to the latter’s wishes. Xia Rouqin was very attentive and cautious, and she took care of Shen Ninghua very well.

After Shen Ninghua finished washing up, the two children rushed over, lay on Shen Ninghua’s knees, and blinked at her enthusiastically. “Mother, time to go… Let’s go. Street.”

The two of them were so chubby and adorable. They stuck on her legs like chewing gums.

Shen Ninghua chuckled delightfully. “Well, we can go to the streets, but your father hasn’t come back yet. He’s the one who promised to take you to the streets. If he doesn’t come back, the three of us won’t be able to go out.”

The children pouted in disappointment. Then, they held hands, sat on the steps of the door, and looked at the door of the courtyard with eager eyes, hoping that Baili Junyi would appear in the next second.

Seeing them like this, Hong Ling quickly asked the wet nurse to take a soft cushion and put it on the ground for them. Although it was warmer now, the ground was still very cold. She didn’t want them to catch a cold after sitting on the floor directly.

With a smile, Shen Ninghua let the children wait as they pleased and asked Rouqin to prepare her breakfast. After about half an hour, she heard the excited cheers of the two children coming from the door. “Daddy, Daddy, you’re finally back.”

Just as Baili Junyi walked into the courtyard, he bumped into two pairs of big, sparkling eyes, followed by excited cheers. He was so shocked that he stopped in his tracks before continuing to walk forward.

This was the first time they welcomed him so delightfully. With a wide grin, he bent down, carried Baby Girl up, and kissed her chubby cheek. Then, he looked at Big Boy, who was barely restraining his excitement with his hands behind his back. “What’s going on today? This is so rare. What makes our precious Bei Zi welcome me at the door?”

Big Boy’s little face was as red as an apple, his eyes sparkling with joy, but he looked cold and aloof. “You’re my father, so I’m just being filial to you.”

Baili Junyi laughed out loud. Big Boy always talked back to him and bickered with him, but today, he was being nice to him in such a serious manner. Seeing his unusual demeanor, Baili Junyi wanted to tease him more. “Being filial to me? Wonderful! Yongchen, I’m so happy that you know you should be filial to your father at such a young age. I’m very pleased. By the way, my shoulder is aching now. I wonder if you can give me a massage for a bit. If not, we may not be able to go to the streets.”

Big Boy, whose official name was Baili Yongchen, blushed timidly. A sense of responsibility arose in his heart, and he vowed to Baili Junyi, “Daddy, don’t be afraid when you’re old. I can raise you!”

Shen Ninghua laughed out loud. Hong Ling and Rouqin, who were at the side, were holding back their laughter. Baili Junyi’s face had become gloomed. He didn’t know how he should respond to his remark.

Big Boy waved his small hand and urged Baili Junyi, “Daddy, sit. Big Boy, massage. After massage, to the street.”

Baili Junyi revealed a stiff smile. “Forget it. It doesn’t hurt anymore, so you don’t have to massage me. Just sit here quietly. After your mother and I eat something, I will take you to the streets.”

Big Boy rolled his eyes and gave Baili Junyi a mocking look. He wondered what was up with his father. How could his pain be relieved so quickly?

Seeing this look in his eyes, Baili Junyi almost wanted to carry him over and give him a beating, but in the end, he gave up.

Ever since he brought back some toys for the two children from outside, the children had been thinking about going outside and pleaded with him, asking him to take them out to play. After being rejected, they held hands and strolled around the mansion. They were almost exhausted and rested several times before reaching the entrance of the mansion. Unfortunately, the guards stopped them when they arrived at the entrance and wouldn’t budge no matter how they pleaded and pestered them. Because of this, Big Boy despised the guards at the entrance and even asked Baili Junyi not to give the guards food to eat several times.

Under the pitiful gazes of the two children, Shen Ninghua and Baili Junyi ate their breakfast very quickly. After a quarter of an hour, they put down their chopsticks and changed into inconspicuous clothes. The two of them carried the two children and walked out of the mansion.

Hong Ling, Qing Que, Ye Yi, and the others, who had changed their clothes, followed behind them. There were also Shadow Guards protecting them in the dark. With that, they went onto the street in a formidable array.

Once they left the mansion, Big Boy and Baby Girl felt that they had entered a different world. They had never seen so many people before. They looked around curiously, bobbing their heads left and right. They didn’t even want to blink if they could.

The children were amazed, and so did the people on the street as they looked at the children. The children were dressed in small red jackets and had little gold boots inlaid with rubies on their shoes. They had the same style of jade necklace on their necks, and they looked like a pair of adorable angels. The people had never seen such good-looking children.

There were also many people who knew their identities. After all, Shen Ninghua’s and Baili Junyi’s appearances were too amazing, and it was difficult to find a man and a woman who were more outstanding than them in the capital. Therefore, many people followed them and looked at them more, hoping to bask in the joy of their imperial aura.

The street was bustling with people everywhere. The guards carefully opened up a small space around Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua, preventing people from squeezing into the Masters.

A craftsman who set up a stall on the street saw two delicate children and shouted to attract their attention, “Candied haws… Lollipop… Hot dog…”

Big Boy’s eyes swept over the place where the candied haws were sold, and he could no longer look away. He pointed at the candied haws and called Baby Girl, “Sister, sister, shiny gem.”

Shen Ninghua chuckled gleefully. Indeed, the candied haws were coated with sugar frost, so they were shiny as a gem. Big Boy was prompting his sister to look at her beloved.

Big Boy spoke quite loudly, and the people around them heard him and smiled kindly. The old man selling the candied haws took two sticks of candied haws and handed them to Big Boy. “Young master, this is made of haws, not a gem.”

Big Boy struggled to get down, so Baili Junyi put him down. There were guards and Shadow Guards around to protect them. Nothing could happen, and they were safe. Big Boy tidied up his clothes and walked to the old man with a red face. “Uncle.”

The old man smiled happily. “Here, one is for you, and give your sister one. I hope you like it.”

Big Boy blushed and took the candied haws from the old man. When he grabbed the sticks, he almost lost his grip. He was so shocked that he pursed his lips and carefully handed the candied haws to Baby Girl as if he was presenting something precious and expensive. Baby Girl took a stick and looked at it carefully. She liked the fragrance very much. With a smile, she was about to put it in her pocket when Shen Ninghua stopped her. “This is for eating. It’s not for collection.”

Baby Girl and Big Boy suddenly widened their eyes. Didn’t Mother say that gems couldn’t be eaten? Why could they eat these red gems now? Shen Ninghua giggled as she watched their reaction. Then, she pointed to the small pouch hanging in front of their chest and said, “Do you remember what I said? You have to pay for buying things.”

Big Boy hurriedly ran in front of the old man, his chubby hand reaching into the money bag and fishing for coins. “Uncle, money, buy.”

The old man waved his hand repeatedly. He especially liked the two children. “Young Master, you don’t have to pay. The two sticks of candied haws are my present to you.”

Big Boy shook his head stubbornly. “You work hard. I want to buy this for sister.” With that, he took out a handful of copper coins from his pouch and held them in front of the old man, asking him to take the money himself. “Uncle, take.”

The surrounding people could not help but exclaim in admiration. The boy looked so young, but he knew that the old man was working hard. His parents had taught him really well.

Shen Ninghua smiled gladly. The children had very good memories, and many times, they could remember things that she only said once. She told them that everyone worked hard to put food on the table when they were having dinner one night. To her surprise, Big Boy remembered it and used it in a nice way.

The old man carefully took two copper coins from Big Boy. “Two copper coins are enough.”

Big Boy nodded and carefully put the other copper coins into his small pouch. Then, he studied the edible gems with Baby Girl.
