Chapter 649 Good News From Heaven
The corner of Xuanyuan Yao's mouth twitched slightly, and he secretly thought that he would come back as soon as he came back. It's not a strange thing. As for being so chattering?
However, he soon realized why the nanny was so blustering.
Because his mother actually gave him a younger brother.
After Mammy informed her, Princess Huainan hurriedly asked someone to call him in. When Xuanyuan Yao entered the room, he smelled a special smell - it was the unique milky smell in the house after a woman had just given birth.
Of course, Princess Huainan had not just given birth to a baby. To be precise, she had already given birth and was almost one month old. Xuanyuan Yao couldn't believe what he saw. A tiny child with a face about the size of his palm. Just lying in the swaddle sleeping quietly, looking so...peaceful and cute.
Xuanyuan Yao was speechless for a long time. He looked up at his mother and concubine blankly: "I...I have a younger brother?"
Princess Huainan has been resting in the house for more than half a month. Her skin is fair and delicate. She does not look like a woman in her thirties at all. Some people will definitely believe her if she is in her mid-twenties.
However, women from wealthy families are naturally pampered and well-maintained, so it is normal for them to look younger than they actually are.
But that's not the point.
The point is, his father, queen, mother and concubine actually gave him a younger brother without saying a word?
Xuanyuan Yao couldn't react to this fact for a while.
Princess Huainan nodded hesitantly and carefully looked at his expression: "Yao'er, you don't like it?"
"How...why do you suddenly have a younger brother?" Xuanyuan Yao murmured, his eyes falling on the baby's little face, as if he was looking at something strange, "Did the father, princess, and concubines already know that I and Xie Jin …”
"Yao'er, don't you like having a younger brother?" Princess Huainan looked at his expression cautiously and asked again, "I didn't tell you, it's our fault, but this child..."
dislike?
Xuanyuan Yao was stunned for a moment and then came back to his senses: "I don't like it."
He just loves it, okay?
Xuanyuan Yao composed himself: "It's just a little unexpected."
After a pause, "Ten months of pregnancy... my brother has been in the mother's belly for nearly ten months. In other words, at this time last year, the father and mother planned to have one more child..."
Xuanyuan Yao raised his eyes and looked at his mother: "Can I know the reason?"
My father doesn't predict the future, right? Could it be that a fortune teller also figured out his fate and that he was destined to have no children in this life?
Princess Huainan was worried that he would think too much and explained: "Your father said that you might not come back to Huainan in the future. He was worried that there would be no heirs for the palace, so he decided to have another child."
Xuanyuan Yao was silent.
Facts have proved that my father's worries are not unfounded.
"When the regent decided to keep you in the imperial city, your father knew that you might take military power in the imperial capital in the future." Princess Huainan explained, "But the borders also need someone to guard them. Your sister has been pampered since she was a child, and now she is being trained to become a general. It’s too late, so we decided to have another child, whether it’s a boy or a girl, give birth to a child and raise him well, and then stay in Huainan to inherit the fiefdom of Huainan and the military power in your father’s hands, and continue to protect our family and the country.”
Xuanyuan Yao understood, and his reaction was quite calm for a moment, or in other words, he felt quite happy after realizing it.
He looked at the swaddled baby without saying a word. It had a small face and white skin. Although it looked like it was sleeping, it looked quite beautiful. As he looked at it, there was a smile on his face. meaning.
"Yao'er." Princess Huainan looked at the expression on his face, not sure how he was feeling now, "Are you happy or sneering?"
"Of course I'm happy." Xuanyuan Yao couldn't control the corners of his mouth rising, "My mother-in-law is so great, and my father is so foresight. The child is so impressed with her."
Princess Huainan looked strange: "Isn't this prescient? After your father came back from the imperial city, he guessed that you would be left in the imperial capital by the regent in the future, so he decided to have one more child. This was something he knew in advance. "
Xuanyuan Yao shook his head: "Mother and concubine don't understand what I mean."
"Then tell me, what do you mean?"
Xuanyuan Yao took a deep breath and was so happy. If it weren't for the fact that his mother was currently in confinement, he really wanted to hug his mother and give her a kiss, and then run out to find his father to give her a kiss.
But this idea was just a thought in his mind. It was too disgusting, and he couldn't do it even at such an old age.
But he was so happy.
It was as if a big stone weighing on his heart had finally been removed, and the guilt of breaking up the incense finally dissipated. Although he did not regret his relationship with Xie Jin, he still felt guilty that he could not marry and have children. Mom and dad.
But now his mother-in-law told him that he actually had a younger brother?
It was a joy that fell from heaven.
Xuanyuan Yao couldn't even describe his mood at this time.
"Mother Concubine." Xuanyuan Yao restrained his expression, but still could not hide his joy, "I will treat my brother well in the future and give him the best. As long as I have it, he will have it. If I don't have it, as long as I have it, he will have it." If he wants it, I will try my best to get it for him.”
Princess Huainan was silent for a moment, her brows furrowed, and she looked at him worriedly: "Yao'er, are you stimulated by something?"
"I'm really happy, very happy." Xuanyuan Yao was so excited that his heart was beating wildly. He wanted to share the good news with Xie Jin right away, "Thank you for your hard work, concubine."
Princess Huainan looked at him suspiciously, always feeling that her son's reaction was a little abnormal.
But she didn't think much about it. Yao'er has always been an optimistic and kind man. He is heartless and has no schemes. He is broad-minded enough to tolerate everything. He will never be dissatisfied because there is another brother competing for his favor.
So his happiness should be really happy.
After thinking about it, Princess Huainan slowly breathed a sigh of relief. She was quite afraid that Yao'er would be suspicious, but at this moment, it seemed that he didn't think much at all, but sincerely welcomed his brother's arrival.
"It's just that mother is old, so you have to take care of your health in the future." Xuanyuan Yao squatted down, "It's not easy for mothers in the world."
Princess Huainan frowned slightly: "What do you mean by old? Can Yao'er speak?"
Xuanyuan Yao smiled awkwardly: "Mother is still young, in the prime of life, charming, and charming——"
Princess Huainan twitched the corner of her mouth, raised her hand and slapped him on the forehead: "Shut up."
