The soft feeling in her arms made Qing Feng’s heart soften and her lips unconsciously hooked up. She coax the child as she listened to Ru Yi. Look like him? Qing Feng carefully look at the little guy in her arms, a small little face which was still not even awake. Still considered adorable but how to see if he looks like who?

When she did not see Yan Hong Tian when she woke up, even though Qing Feng did not say it, her heart felt some disappointment. So when Ru Yi mention it, Qing Feng pretended to casually ask, “Where’s the Emperor?”

“In the afternoon, the Empress Dowager and Empress came over to visit you and it seems that they… Had a dispute with the Emperor. After they left, the Emperor also went out and was not back till now.”

Qing Feng was slightly stunned, “The Empress Dowager and Empress came over to see me?”

“En.”

Qing Feng wanted to ask about what dispute was there with the Empress Dowager and Yan Hong Tian when she heard the doors open and a familiar figure strode in.

Ru Yi quickly knelt down and bowed, “May the Emperor have innumerable fortune.”

The baby in her arms finally stopped crying and Qing Feng was secretly relieved. She looked up at Yan Hong Tian and saw him standing in front of the screen, taking off his outer robes. His clothes were actually wet. Qing Feng looked out the wind and found out that it had begun to drizzle.

Ru Yi quickly got up to serve. She took the outer robes and got some clean clothes for the Emperor to change.

Seeing Ru Yi helping him to tidy up, Qing Feng did not say anything more and softly cajoling the baby as she asked softly, “Had your meal?”

It was an ordinary sentence that any wife in an ordinary family would ask but it made Yan Hong Tian freeze for a moment. He felt a different and fresh feeling in his heart. Since his accession to the throne, there was no one who dared to speak to him like that.

Yan Hong Tian looked in and that light orange candlelight through the thin drapes and onto her, like a halo around her. Her loose hair was not tied together, revealing a lazy style as it hung behind her. The colour on her face was much better than during the day and as she was gently rocking the child in her arms, her face was filled with contentment and joy of pampering. Yan Hong Tian was sucked into this warm and beautiful scene that he forgot to respond.

After no one answered for a long time, Qing Feng looked up and met with a pair of blank and dazed eyes. Qing Feng laughed, “Have not eaten yet?”

After recovering himself, Yan Hong Tian lightly coughed and faintly replied, “Taken already.” When he walked to the front of the bed he saw a bowl of still steaming porridge on the side table with only a few mouthfuls eaten. Yan Hong Tian frowned, “Why only eat so little?”

After he said that, Qing Feng felt that her stomach was indeed hungry and gently waved towards him, “Come over here.”

Yan Hong Tian just went beside her to sit down when Qing Feng placed the child she was carrying to his arms and said, “Let you carry for a while. I will drink the porridge.”

Qing Feng had only just ate two mouthful when she heard Yan Hong Tian deep voice calling out, “Ru Yi.”

“Yes.”

“Carry the child away.”

“Wait.” Qing Feng got anxious, “Why should the child be carried away?”

“It is no longer early and you should rest so naturally the child have to be taken care by the wet nurse.” Yan Hong Tian’s expression was weird and his brows were knitted tightly together. She know that there were such regulations in the Palace and the princes or princess would usually not live with the mother. After birth, the child would be taken care by the wet nurses and old mamas. The mothers could only see the child when they come over in the morning and evening greetings. This was perhaps their norms but she did not want it to be like this. If she cannot take care or be with her own child, what kind of mother was that? She was born in a normal family, with a mother’s devotion, father’s warm and generosity and harmonious sisters. She wished that her child would be like her.

Yan Hong Tian’s expression was not good from the beginning and Qing Feng did not want to argue with him this time. She put on a soft voice and said, “I just saw the child and could not bear to be separated with him. Let him accompany me tonight, alright?”

Yan Hong Tian had always been stubborn and Qing Feng thought that she would need to use a lot of effort to convince him but who knew that he did not talk to her about any rules or regulation and instead raise the child hurriedly and coldly said, “Then you carry yourself.”

The child was obedient and did not cry or make a fuss and this was his son so why did he have that look of avoidance! Qing Feng asked curiously, “What’s with you?”

Yan Hong Tian remained silent and his face had gotten much darker. When the little baby moved his neck, Yan Hong Tian immediately stiffen and his voice had traces of panic, “He’s… Too soft. Quickly carry him away.” He did not have many heirs and also did not carry a child before thus he naturally did not know what to do. The little baby was so soft like there were no bones at all!

As it turns out he put on a dark expression and wanted the child to be carried away because he did not know how to carry a child? Qing Feng found it ridiculous and funny. After knowing the reason, she took her outstretched hands back and snappily humph, “You think that it is that easy to be a father! Continue carrying.” Finis.h.i.+ng, she happily continue to pick up the bowl of porridge and just kept on eating.

Ru Yi looked up slightly and saw the Emperor holding the Little Prince with both hands, neither letting go nor carrying properly and could not help but giggled. Yan Hong Tian shot a cold look to her and she was so scared that her neck shrank back. The Emperor could not bear to be angry with her Ladys.h.i.+p and the Little Prince but would absolutely be willing to take it out on her.

“This servant will retire.” Ru Yi hurriedly bowed and quickly ran out.

The rain was falling outside the house but in the house the Emperor of Qiong Yue and master of six nations had an indescribable feeling. Or was this a so called feeling of a father?
