Chapter 169 Holding a Child
Chapter 169 Holding a Child
"What did you say?"
Lin Qingyang frowned and looked at Liang Jingsui who was shaking.
Little Prince An was still mumbling something and it was unclear what he was saying, but it seemed like he was repeating something.
"Cui Ping, what did your prince say? Did you hear it clearly?"
Cui Ping had been laughing secretly just now. Lin Qingyang looked at the drunk Liang Jingsui and could only ask Cui Ping next to him.
"My princess, the prince has been thinking about you since he returned to Beijing. Just now at the banquet in the palace, he was anxious to go home. When others tried to force him to drink, he kept saying that he couldn't drink too much and that he had to go home to see you and the young master. He said it dozens of times. If you don't believe me, princess, come closer and listen."
Lin Qingyang blushed after hearing this, "Cui Ping, you've worked hard too, go down and take a shower and rest!"
At this time, Prince An still drank the sobering soup, but he was still groggy.
Lin Qingyang also thought to himself, being this drunk, he couldn’t take a shower right away, he needed to sober up. It seemed like he had drunk a lot of alcohol!
"Wang Shun, go get some water and wipe the prince's body first."
By the time Prince Xiao An had almost dealt with the situation, it was already midnight.
"Qing'er..." Little Prince An might have sobered up a little from the torment, and he was more conscious and able to recognize people. Looking at Lin Qingyang in front of him, he held her with more force.
"Hey, here you are, reeking of alcohol, stop talking, I'm going to sleep."
Little Prince An obediently shut his mouth and reduced the strength in his hands, but he still maintained the posture of holding Lin Qingyang.
It seems that Lin Qingyang was right in his guess. Little Prince An did drink a lot of wine, because he fell asleep on the pillow soon after. Listening to his even breathing beside his ears, Lin Qingyang felt a lot more at ease.
This battle lasted for half a year. Now the child is more than two months old. Little Prince An is finally back, and the State of Jin can be more stable.
The next morning, when Lin Qingyang got up, Prince An was still beside him. "Don't you have to go to court?"
"Go, don't be in a hurry. Don't I just want to see you more?"
Lin Qingyang felt that she couldn’t adapt for the time being. After all, half a year had passed. Little Prince An’s sudden “slippery tongue” made her “uncomfortable”.
"Hurry up and come back to see your son whom you have never met after the court session."
The corners of Prince An's mouth curled up and he said "hmm".
"Thank you for your hard work during this period."
Prince An looked at Lin Qingyang. Perhaps because she had just given birth to a child, Lin Qingyang was fatter than when he left Beijing.
"When I come back, I'll have something for you two."
Lin Qingyang was curious, "Just for the two of us?"
Prince An frowned, looked at Lin Qingyang's face and said, "Have you forgotten who I am? But I do smell a hint of jealousy. I haven't done anything to let my wife down!"
Lin Qingyang gently tapped Prince An with his fist, "Hurry up and get ready to go to court. I'll wait for you to come back."
At today's morning court, civil and military officials were rewarded according to their merits. After the court was adjourned, the emperor kept a few people in the study to discuss matters.
By the time Xiao Anwang returned home, it was already afternoon.
"Our prince must have had lunch, why did he take so long to come back?"
Lin Qingyang had someone prepare lunch, but after waiting for a long time, the man did not come back. She also knew that the emperor would not neglect food when keeping his ministers in the palace, he was just afraid that they would forget about hunger while discussing important matters.
"I was detained by the emperor today along with some ministers. I came back late and I am sorry to have caused you worry."
"I'm not really worried. The emperor sent someone to deliver your reward. I knew you would be fine. I just wanted to discuss with you where to put the things. But you didn't come back, so I asked the servants to carry them away."
Lin Qingyang seemed to be joking on purpose.
At this time, the wet nurse was holding the little prince and bringing him to Lin Qingyang.
When Prince An saw the baby, he reached out to hug it, but he had never hugged such a small baby before, so he didn't dare to do so. His cautious look amused Lin Qingyang.
"Baby, do you see this big man? He is your father. Can you let him hug you?"
As he spoke, Lin Qingyang handed the child to Prince An's arms. Under Lin Qingyang's careful "guidance", Prince An held his son and smiled foolishly for a while. His big hands were half the size of the child's body.
"Son, I'm your father, don't piss yourself!"
The people around him also found it funny to see the usually dignified Prince An so restrained and reserved.
Even the child in his arms laughed out loud.
Prince Xiao An was stunned for a moment.
"He smiled, baby, I am your father, hehe!"
"Okay, just hold him for a while. Learn slowly, don't be in a hurry." As he said that, he took the child from Prince Xiao An's arms, "Baby, let's let father rest for a while. He just came off the court. Let's let him hold him from now on!" He handed the child to the wet nurse.
Prince Xiao An went down to change his clothes, and Lin Qingyang asked him, "You just came back, does the emperor have something important to study?"
"Well, it is quite big, but we will know after a while. He also knows to ask for everyone's opinions."
Lin Qingyang would not ask too many details about the affairs of the court.
"Hey, what's our baby's name? Have you chosen one yet?"
Little Prince An had changed his clothes and walked out from behind the screen.
"Not yet. The Queen Mother said she would wait for you to come back and let you name the child."
"Well, there's no rush."
Little Prince An slowly walked to Lin Qingyang, hugged her from behind, and leaned close to her neck, taking a deep breath, "You smell like milk."
Lin Qingyang broke open Little An Wang's hands and turned around, "Hateful."
"I'm not kidding. Seriously, I heard from Zhuang Yunlin that Ning'er came to see you several times because of Yanzhi. Did she think Yanzhi was my concubine?"
When Prince Xiao An said this, there was a hint of helplessness in his voice.
Lin Qingyang acted as if nothing had happened, "He was before, but then he was locked up at home by Zhuang Yunlin and not allowed to go out, so he couldn't come."
"Hahaha, that Rouge girl is just one of my subordinates, but she is also seeking revenge for her family. I have no other relationship with her."
When Prince Xiao An said these words, his eyes were always on Lin Qingyang.
"Oh, I didn't say anything, or what did you expect me to say?"
Lin Qingyang still had no expression.
"But I can't say anything. You asked them to come to your house, and I can't chase them away!"
"I hope you're jealous, but you don't!"
"That's right. Anyway, I'm the legal wife. It's other people's business if they want to be jealous. Didn't you say you brought gifts for us? What did you bring?"
Little Prince An went to the cabinet and took out a small box. It was a set of accessories customized for the mother and daughter based on the design he had drawn when Lin Qingyang was pregnant. It included a gold locket for the child and a set of jewelry for Lin Qingyang.
Lin Qingyang took a closer look and found that this set of jewelry was well-made.
