Chapter 1081: Prince Yan’s Doting

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the end, the little fellow was coaxed by Prince Yan. The little fellow cried too much and twitched in Prince Yan’s arms. He was extremely pitiful. The tear ducts of a baby that was less than two months old were not mature yet. They could not cry every time, but it was enough to make one’s heart ache.

Prince Yan hugged the aggrieved little fellow and glared at the helpless Xiao Zhenting, as if asking, “How are you a father? Is there anyone who scares their son so much?”

Xiao Zhenting placed his hands behind his back and looked at the sky.

Prince Yan was suddenly stunned. He couldn’t remember how many years ago it was. His brother, who was still in the Cold Palace, suddenly ran over and asked him, “What are you looking at in the sky again?”

He might not have noticed this habit on his body, but he had noticed it on Yan Jiuchao. When Yan Jiuchao wanted to change the topic, he looked at the sky.

After getting along with each other for a long time, they would affect each other. Xiao Zhenting’s action made Prince Yan think of Yan Jiuchao. Prince Yan suddenly realized that during the years when he was not around, Xiao Zhenting had taken care of Yan Jiuchao in his place.

Although Yan Jiuchao had clearly pushed Xiao Zhenting and Shangguan Yan away, this man had never stopped running around in secret to save Yan Jiuchao’s life.

When Cong’er needed protection the most, Xiao Zhenting was by his side.

Yan Jiuchao’s temper was famous for being bad. It was impossible for Prince Yan not to have heard about it these few days after he returned. Therefore, that child really had the ability to anger people to the point of being born and ascend to heaven at the same time. How did Xiao Zhenting withstand those? How did he treat Cong’er as his own flesh and blood for so many years?

How did he treat Cong’er as his own flesh and blood for so many years?

Prince Yan had also heard about Xiao Zhenting drinking the childless soup. Xiao Zhenting was not putting on an act. He was really going all out for Shangguan Yan and Cong’er.

Prince Yan looked at the little fellow in his arms and then at Xiao Zhenting, who was finally no longer looking at the sky.

Xiao Zhenting was like a child who had made a mistake and didn’t even know where to put his hand. Was there a father in the world who was more aggrieved than him? He couldn’t even scold his son.

“Let the wet nurse carry him down to feed him. He’s hungry,” Prince Yan said to Xiao Zhenting, his tone not so cold anymore.

Xiao Zhenting immediately called the wet nurse to carry the little fellow down.

Speaking of which, it was strange. The little fellow liked to be carried by Prince Yan. Once he was full, he didn’t want the wet nurse anymore. He snorted and the wet nurse knew to bring the child over.

As expected, the little fellow stopped fooling around after Prince Yan hugged him. He widened his eyes and played for a while before falling asleep in Prince Yan’s arms.

However, it was unknown if Prince Yan was addicted to hugging him, but Prince Yan actually couldn’t let him go. The moment he put him down, his little mouth pouted… and he cried. Prince Yan could only keep hugging him.

Xiao Zhenting stood at the side like a statue, his eyes widened like an ox’s, looking ready to fight.

Yu Wan felt that it was better not to go over and laugh at him. She silently retreated to her room and whispered to Uncle Wan, “Grand Marshal Xiao is familiar with the place. It doesn’t seem like this is the first time…”

Uncle Wan had heard the servants mention this before. When Shangguan Yan went back to the temple during her confinement period to pray for blessings for Yan Jiuchao and left her son in the manor, there was a nanny in the manor. Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be difficult to take care of him. However, for some reason, the little fellow kept crying and refused to even drink milk.

Xiao Zhenting was very calm when he went into battle to kill the enemies. When he encountered a palm-sized doll, he completely surrendered. Helpless, he decided to bring the child to look for Shangguan Yan. Unexpectedly, not long after he left, he met Prince Yan, who was pa.s.sing by.

Prince Yan wondered if the child was sick since he was crying so fiercely. He took it over and planned to take a look, but the child stopped crying.

“Young Master was also the most clingy to His Highness when he was young. If he cried and made a fuss, His Highness would just hug him.” Uncle Wan recalled the young Yan Jiuchao, who was still in his swaddling, and couldn’t help but reveal a gratified smile.

The little fellow peed his pants. Xiao Zhenting went to the carriage to get his things. Yu Wan went to the study and looked at the child sleeping soundly in Prince Yan’s arms.

“Like Zijun,” Prince Yan said gently.

Yu Wan nodded. She pushed aside the swaddling and looked at the little fellow’s hand. Prince Yan was right. The little fellow’s looks were indeed more like Shangguan Yan. Yan Jiuchao basically took after Prince Yan. Therefore, even if they were brothers from the same mother, the little fellow was actually not very similar to Yan Jiuchao.

His little hands were wider than babies his age. In Xiao Zhenting’s words, he had the potential of being a good swordsman. As expected of Xiao Zhenting’s child! However, if one looked carefully, they would still discover that he had something in common with Yan Jiuchao. There were two vortices on his head and his lips were a little similar.

Thinking about it this way, Yan Jiuchao actually looked quite like Shangguan Yan. However, his temperament, figure, ident.i.ty as a man, and the cold gaze he inadvertently revealed made him look like Prince Yan.

The little fellow slept for a while before opening his eyes in a daze.

Yu Wan hummed. These eyes were too beautiful! She could not help but extend her hand. “Come, come, Sister-in-law will carry you.”

The little fellow turned around and plunged into Prince Yan’s arms.

Yu Wan:

Was she being despised? No, you’ve only been here for two months. Who are you despising?!

The little fellow spent a wonderful afternoon in the Young Master Manor. He had good habits. He didn’t disturb anyone at night and he just needed to be fed three times. When Xiao Zhenting saw that he couldn’t wake up, he carried him… To be precise, he carried the basket containing him and left the Young Master Manor’s courtyard.

Yu Wan sent him off.

Xiao Zhenting hurriedly said, “There’s no need to send me off. Your body is also heavy. Rest in the room in peace.”

“Walking more often is also good for childbirth.” What Yu Wan really wanted to say was that her body was not heavy at all. She was as light as a swallow!

Xiao Zhenting sized up Yu Wan. Seeing that she was indeed much better than Shangguan Yan at that time, he guessed that she was not being polite with him, so he agreed to let her travel with him.

Xiao Zhenting deliberately slowed down and raised the basket stiffly.

Yu Wan would always laugh at this scene in her heart every time she saw it. The people of the Great Zhou Dynasty and Xiao Zhenting’s former subordinates would definitely not have thought that the mighty Grand Marshal Xiao would have such a nervous and clumsy side.

Those who didn’t know better would think that he had some small bomb in his basket.

Yu Wan had told Xiao Zhenting about their journey in the afternoon. Xiao Zhenting’s reaction was calmer than Prince Yan’s. It was not that he was not worried about Yu Wan and Yan Jiuchao, but he had seen Jiang Hai and learned from him that the two of them were in the Ghost Clan.

He knew that Yan Jiuchao had absorbed the Ghost King’s power.

He was a martial arts pract.i.tioner and understood that what the Ghost King practiced was definitely not ordinary martial arts. Someone who could transfer his strength for his own use must be an extremely talented person. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a genius that only appeared once every ten thousand years.

Therefore, he had a lot more confidence in their group. Of course, he had never mentioned this to Shangguan Yan and Prince Yan. Having confidence was one thing, but there were always what ifs. He was afraid that if he gave them hope, in the end, if there was really what ifs, they would suffer an even greater disappointment.

“Father actually saw Jiang Hai?” Yu Wan was surprised.

“Yes,” Xiao Zhenting said. “Something happened to him in the Ghost Clan and he was found by the disciples of the Feiyu Manor. Those disciples forcefully brought him back to the manor. It was those disciples who told him not to look for you anymore. You have absorbed the Ghost King’s power and are very capable. There’s no need for him to risk his life. However, I think he’s a stubborn person. He actually came to the Great Zhou a few months ago.” “Father, do you know where he is now?” Yu Wan asked.

Xiao Zhenting shook his head. “I only saw him once and never met him again. I guess he has already left the Great Zhou.”

“Sigh, this fellow…” Yu Wan sighed helplessly, but she didn’t know what to say. He was indeed stubborn, but if not for his stubborn personality, he wouldn’t have stayed by her side and accompanied her through so many difficulties. Yu Wan said, “I hope he can return to the villa as soon as possible.”

Even if he did not return, he was probably not far from obtaining news of them. Ever since they entered Nanzhao, they had not hidden their whereabouts. As long as Jiang Hai was still in the Great Zhou or Nanzhao, he would definitely be able to find out that she and Yan Jiuchao had returned to the Capital.

Xiao Zhenting suddenly talked about something else. “By the way, I’ve heard about Cong’er and the Crown Prince. During the time His Majesty is seriously ill, Prince Jing has been doing his best. He has wanted to sit in the position of Crown Prince for a long time. Although he’s sitting on it now, he won’t be happy with the addition of a Regent who s.n.a.t.c.hed his power to supervise the country.”

He came to the Young Master Manor today not only for the child, but also to remind them.

Yu Wan did not care if Yan Huaijing was happy or not. However, if he was unhappy and wanted to play tricks on the Young Master Manor, Yu Wan would have to be more careful.

Yu Wan and Xiao Zhenting both understood that the Emperor actually did not understand Yan Jiuchao’s strength. What he really wanted to use was Prince Yan. However, compared to using human skills, the two of them were more concerned about the Emperor’s current body.

No matter how talented Prince Yan was in governing the country, he was still the first candidate after the Emperor. If the Emperor could manage the court himself, he would never let others supervise the country.

“I’m afraid he’s really very seriously ill… Can he survive this year?” Yan Jiuchao had brought him a secret medicine from the Sikong family in the Nether

Capital. It seemed that the secret medicine had not completely recovered him.

However, compared to his previous paralysis, he could speak more nimbly now.

“If he can’t survive this year, then the throne…” Xiao Zhenting didn’t finish his sentence.

Yu Wan understood that Yan Huaijing had become the Crown Prince. Once the Emperor pa.s.sed away, he would be the rightful new Emperor.

But were they… really at ease letting Yan Huaijing sit on the throne?

After Yan Huaijing became the Emperor, the first thing he would probably do was get rid of Yan Jiuchao! The second thing was very likely to include Yu Wan in the harem.

Yu Wan had never revealed Yan Huaijing’s feelings for her to Xiao Zhenting, but even if he did not know this, Xiao Zhenting could tell that Yan Jiuchao would not have a good life after Yan Huaijing ascended the throne..
