Chapter 59.1

There was a happy event in the mansion. The masters had bestowed the servants with wine and food.

The small courtyard also received its share.

The emperor bestowed His Highness with so many women at once, and he couldn’t even refuse. The servants of the residence were in a wild frenzy as they discussed the current situation of the manor.

There were three tables arranged in the yard by the backroom. All the servants of the small courtyard who could come came.

Yaoniang was also there.

Everyone was drinking, but she couldn't drink. She just sat there, eating the dishes. Xiaobao was very obedient and sat on his mother's lap without making a fuss.

Today, Xiaobao was surprisingly obedient. He has always been obedient, but he has never been so quiet. His little face was deep in thought and he looked very worried. His appearance really made people want to laugh.

He couldn't help but peek at Yaoniang. He was afraid of seeing sadness on his mother’s face. Even though Yaoniang had a calm expression and occasionally talked to people, he thinks it was highly likely for his mother to be sad.

After all, anyone would be sad if this happened to them. Now that his father gained more concubines, it was likely that he would rarely come to see his mother in the future.

Xiaobao wanted to tell Yaoniang, don't be afraid. Once he is older, he will find a way to investigate the truth. Even if he was the son of a street vendor, it doesn’t matter. He will definitely be outstanding and his mother can rely on him to live a lifetime of happiness.

As night fell, the crescent moon hung high in the sky.

The banquet was cleared away and everyone joined hands to clean up the mess. Yaoniang returned to her room with Xiaobao. Yuchan tried to take Xiaobao with her as usual, but Yaoniang shook her head. "He will sleep with me tonight, so you guys can sleep in peace."

Yuyan glanced at her hesitantly, "Xiaobao is actually very obedient. He doesn’t make any noises at night."

Ah Xia stood beside Yuchan and echoed, "Yeah, Sister Su. I don’t mind sleeping with Xiaobao."

Xiaobao seemed to be afraid that his mother would give himself to Yuchan, so he hurriedly wrapped his arms around Yaoniang’s neck.

Seeing this, Yaoniang smiled and said, "Look at him, just let him sleep with me tonight." She seemed to have something else to add, but she still didn't say it after a brief pause.

Like this, Xiaobao successfully went into the room with Yaoniang.

Ah Xia helped bring over some hot water. Yaoniang went behind the screen to wash, while Ah Xia helped Xiaobao wash. By the time she finished washing and changing his clothes and diapers, Yaoniang was also ready to sleep.

There was only one light on in the room. It was placed on the small bedside table, illuminating the bed.

Xiaobao laid there as he watched her black hair hanging down her back, with a few loose wisps of hair at her temples. No matter how he looked at her, she was beautiful. Looking at his gentle mother, there was a soft warmth in his heart.

He had a hard time ever since he was reborn as a baby who couldn't walk or talk and he would inevitably feel aggrieved. But Xiaobao was grateful from the bottom of his heart for having such a good mother.

Mother, don't be afraid. You still have Xiaobao.

Seeing Yaoniang sitting on the bed, Xiaobao's butt shuffled over to her side. Yaoniang looked at him in surprise. "Xiaobao is amazing. You can already crawl!"

Exerting some effort, Xiaobao flipped over. Breathing heavily with his tummy up, he thought to himself: How was this crawling? It was obviously sliding. But Yaoniang was so happy that she picked up her son, kissed his forehead, and squeezed his chubby hand. Only after Xiaobao was blushing and pushing her away with his small hand did she let go.

Yaoniang played a game of throwing the ball with him again. Xiaobao knew what his mother was waiting for, so he cheered up and had a good time with Yaoniang. Their laughter could even be heard in the next room.

Yu Chan finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the laughter from that side.

Nanny Su was a good-natured person. Although she was arranged by His Highness to serve her, if she was asked to choose, free from any external factors, she would choose to be on Yaoniang’s side.

Ah Xia's eyes flashed, and her head dropped. It was unknown what was on her mind.

The mother and son played for a long time until Xiaobao couldn't help yawning. Only then did Yaoniang realize how late it was.

"Go to bed. Are you hungry? Do you want to drink any milk?"

Xiaobao was so scared that he rolled over to the other side of the bed, pointed his butt at her, and ignored her. Yaoniang thought of how she had fed Xiaobao a bowl of gruel and half a bowl of milk while they were eating. He should not be hungry at this time, so she gave up the idea of ​​breastfeeding her son.

Yaoniang went to blow out the lamp and laid down on the bed, but she was not sleepy.

Feeling a little person roll over, she immediately reached out and hugged him. With the moonlight, she could faintly see her son's sweet little face. Yaoniang couldn't help but shake her head and smile, throwing away all her random thoughts.

What right does she have to think of all this in the first place? She was not his and he was not hers. Whether he favours the two new side consorts has nothing to do with her! Was it because she knew that he had never touched anyone since he had her, that she couldn't help but be greedy?

Su Yaoniang, you shouldn’t be thinking about all this!

Caressing her son's warm and soft body, Yaoniang gradually fell asleep.

At Zhaohui Hall, Fucheng kept looking at Jin Wang with his eyes.

The only thing missing was rushing up to His Highness and asking whether he was going to Lingbo Pavillion or Haoyue Residence tonight.

Fucheng had such uncertain thoughts because the two side consorts were bestowed by His Majesty. What kind of bridegroom wouldn’t show up on his wedding night?

What a pity that Jin Wang continued to read his documents. He even picked up the pen from time to time to make comments, not at all in a hurry.

Indeed, the prince wasn’t in a rush, but the eunuch was anxious to death!

When it was finally haishi¹, Jin Wang stood up but did not intend to go out. Instead, he went to the bedroom in the back.

He changed out of his clothes and went to take a bath. Fucheng thought to himself: Okay, I guess His Highness doesn’t plan on going anywhere. But Jin Wang put on his clothes again, and Fucheng was so excited as if he was injected with chicken blood. He couldn’t wait to deliver His Highness into a woman’s bed.

When Jin Wang left the room, Fucheng wanted to follow him but was stopped by Jin Wang. "Don't follow."

Needless to say, Fucheng knew where Jin Wang was going. He was going to find Nanny Su again. Who knows whether the two new side consorts will sleep peacefully that night. They will most likely be waiting all night.

But who made Nanny Su be favoured? His Highness was unwilling to miss out on even a single night. If he had to miss a night for whatever reason, it would stay on his mind as he looked forward to the following evening. Then he would rush over before the sky had even gone dark.

Yaoniang was in a deep sleep but was suddenly kissed awake by someone.

The visitor didn't deviate from his usual routine. While sucking and biting her lips, his hands rubbed and kneaded her. As he rubbed and rubbed, he grew impatient. He pulled open her shirt and began to explore.

Yaoniang, still half-asleep, subconsciously wrapped her arms around the other person’s neck in response. The lips and teeth of the two intertwined. Their breathing became heavier and heavier, and the other person's thin lips gradually moved down, biting on her jade neck.

"Your Highness…" whispered Yaoniang, her body bubbling with pleasure.

Jin Wang gave a hum, put one hand on the back of her neck, and fumbled downwards with the other.

He was so excited that he couldn’t hold back any longer. He loosened his belt and reached down to support it when he felt something was wrong. Why was there something beside him?

In the dark, the blushing Xiaobao made two light hums. The movements of the two froze.

Yaoniang wanted to scream but choked back the sound in her throat.

"Xiao, Xiaobao…"
