Le Yao Yao was taken aback by the question. Seeing this, Leng Yixuan immediately took off his pants, pointed at his little bird, and said with a pitiful expression, "I have this strange thing here."
"Uh..."
Seeing Leng Yixuan pointing at himself with a bewildered and pitiful look, Le Yao Yao felt like crying but had no tears.
"This isn't a strange thing; it's something that all boys have. And, Xuan, you shouldn't show it to others casually. This... cough, only your future wife should see it."
"Ah? It's not a strange thing? All boys have it?"
Hearing Le Yao Yao's words, Leng Yixuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, that meant he wasn't a strange child after all.
However—
"Why can't I show it to others? You've shown it to Aunt Ping and Aunt Pear! And you even touched it!"
"Uh..."
Faced with Leng Yixuan's straightforward and innocent question, Le Yao Yao was momentarily at a loss for how to explain.
In the end, after thinking for a moment, Le Yao Yao decided to use words that Leng Yixuan could understand and said, "Well! It's something that only your mother and Aunt Ping can see. Other girls aren't allowed to see it because it's something that Xuan will show to his wife when he grows up."
Le Yao Yao felt her tongue almost tie itself in knots as she paused, seemingly recalling something important before speaking again.
"So, from now on, Xuan absolutely must not casually drop his pants in front of Mother and Aunt Ping, or else someone might see his little... you know!"
"Ah? Well, if a girl unexpectedly sees Mother and Aunt Ping, and even touches it... does that mean Xuan should marry her as a wife?"
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, Le Yao Yao nodded firmly, not thinking much of anything else.
However, Leng Yixuan couldn't help but recall last night when Xin'er had curiously touched him and even looked at him. Did this mean he would soon have to marry Xin'er?
Although he didn't fully understand what marrying or having a wife meant, he imagined it was something like how Father and Mother lived together.
The thought of living with Xin'er in the future filled Leng Yixuan's heart with joy.
He liked Xin'er, and she was so much fun to be around.
If he married Xin'er as his wife in the future, they could play together every day just like they did these past few days.
With this thought in mind, Leng Yixuan made a silent vow to himself that when he grew up, he would definitely marry Xin'er!
Moreover, he was determined to find Xin'er to play with tomorrow!
However, when Leng Yixuan returned to the palace that evening, he suddenly developed a fever, which alarmed Le Yao Yao and the others greatly.
Fortunately, Dongfang Bai was highly skilled in medicine and explained that it was normal for children to have occasional fevers, which could actually help them grow taller. It was a good thing.
However, Le Yao Yao was still worried.
Although Leng Yixuan recovered from his fever the next day, Le Yao Yao insisted that he stay at home to rest and not go anywhere.
Originally, Leng Yixuan wanted to go find Xin'er to play, but knowing that his mother was concerned about his recent illness, he obediently stayed home, promising himself that he would visit Xin'er once he felt better.
What Leng Yixuan did not expect was that when he finally went to look for Xin'er, her family had already moved away.
It was said that Xin'er's father had come to take her and her mother away, but no one knew where they had gone.
This was a blow for Leng Yixuan.
After finally finding a fun companion, she suddenly disappeared without a word. How could he not feel sad?
As a result, Leng Yixuan fell into a slump for several days.
Le Yao Yao and the others felt helpless about this situation.
They tried everything they could think of to cheer him up.
After a long time, Leng Yixuan finally began to smile again, but deep down, he still felt a sense of loss and confusion.
Where had Xin'er gone? Would they ever meet again?
He had to find her because he wanted to marry her one day!
Five years later—
It was summer once again.
Outside, the sun shone brightly, the sky was a clear blue, and cicadas chirped endlessly in the lush trees, making the entire royal residence feel even more lively and bustling.
At this moment, inside the royal residence, it was as if a pot had exploded; everyone was tense and busy.
The reason was simple: today, their princess had given birth again!
Speaking of "again," it couldn't be more accurate.
In the entire Capital City, who didn't know that their princess was exceptionally blessed?
While others had two children in three years, their princess had three in five years. Now, with today's addition, she had already given birth to her fifth child.
This event caused a sensation throughout Capital City, and everyone was betting on whether this time the princess would have a boy or a girl.
Strangely enough, despite having already given birth to four children, all of whom were boys, she was now in labor with her fifth child.
The princess felt quite troubled by this situation. Each time she gave birth and saw that it was another boy, she gritted her teeth and declared that she wanted a girl. If the next child turned out to be a boy, she would continue to have more until she finally had a girl!
Regarding his wife's determination, Leng Junyu felt utterly helpless.
After all, one child was like a little devil, constantly vying for his woman's attention. Now that they had four little devils running around, even just to hold her pinky finger required an appointment!
Thus, many times, Leng Junyu rushed to the Eastern Family to seek out Dongfang Bai, who had already married Qi Yingying, in hopes of finding a secret recipe for having a daughter.
Who could blame Dongfang Bai for wanting a son when he had three daughters in a row? It felt so unfair; he wanted a son!
However, when it came to Leng Junyu's secret method for having children, Dongfang Bai was still hoping to ask him for a way to conceive a son!
Thus, both men were in a state of distress.
At that moment, Leng Junyu was pacing anxiously outside the room, having lost count of how many times he had walked in circles.
The cries from inside the room had been echoing since last night, and now, after more than ten hours, they showed no signs of stopping, filling him with worry.
In the past, the midwives had always said that only the first childbirth was difficult; subsequent ones would be much smoother!
Moreover, when his Le Yao Yao gave birth to their three Little Devils, it had taken her less than two hours. Why was it that now, after more than ten hours, there was still no sign of progress!?
Could it be a difficult labor!?
The thought sent a chill down Leng Junyu's spine.
At that moment, some of the Little Devils outside seemed to think he wasn't worried enough and continued to wail at the door, demanding not anything else but—
"Mommy, Hao'er wants a sister!"
"Mommy, Long Er wants a sister!"
"Mommy, Beier wants a sister!"
Aside from the eldest, Leng Yixuan, who sat calmly at the side calculating the accounts of the Wangfu, the second child, Third Child, and Fourth Brother were all hovering around the door, repeatedly shouting slogans into the room!
Seeing this, Leng Junyu felt a sense of helplessness and headache.
The headache stemmed from seeing these three Little Devils; he feared that another such Little Devil might emerge.
After all, whenever Xuan was around, he would monopolize his woman all day long.
Once Xuan began to understand things a bit more, he suddenly developed a keen interest in arithmetic and business. It was unclear where this interest had come from.
However, Leng Junyu was naturally pleased with Xuan's change.
Moreover, having an interest in arithmetic and business was certainly not a bad thing.
In fact, Xuan had a remarkable talent for business; one could say he was a genius.
Now that Xuan was ten years old, Leng Junyu boldly entrusted him with managing the household accounts.
Thus, Xuan spent his days immersed in the ledgers and no longer competed with him for his woman.
But there were downsides as well.
Xuan's personality became increasingly quiet; most of the time, he would sit alone calculating and hardly interacted with others. His demeanor gradually resembled Leng Junyu's own. Although he didn't think this was a bad thing—after all, it was good for a boy to be a bit more composed—his princess could not help but nag him about how a ten-year-old child seemed so mature for his age, which made her heart ache…
Nevertheless, while Leng Junyu was relieved that his eldest son no longer clung to his woman, he found it troublesome that Le Yao Yao kept having sons. Each time she got pregnant, he had to abstain from desire for half a year!
For Leng Junyu, this was the greatest torment.
His most beloved woman lay beside him, yet he could only look and not touch.
At most, they would resort to other means to resolve their desires…
But he was truly afraid.
At that moment, three Little Devils were right there, constantly clinging to his woman, crying at the slightest provocation. Many times, he felt like he was about to explode with anger. If he punished them, he couldn't bear it; Le Yao Yao wouldn’t let him off easily. If he didn’t teach them a lesson, they would snatch his woman away every day. Even when sleeping, they occupied his woman. He was truly miserable!
Originally, he didn’t want to continue like this. With these Little Devils around, he was already scared. However, Le Yao Yao was determined to have a daughter and even declared that if she didn’t give birth to a girl, she would keep trying. Did she think of herself as a breeding sow!?
So at this moment, Leng Junyu paced anxiously outside the door, worried about Le Yao Yao’s condition while praying in his heart that this time it must be a daughter! He didn’t want more Little Devils fighting for his woman!
Just when Leng Junyu was on edge and extremely anxious, suddenly, from within the room that had been filled with cries of distress, a baby’s wail rang out.
The sound of the baby crying was like music from the heavens, instantly silencing the previously noisy hall.
The Little Devils stopped their antics, and Leng Yixuan finally lifted her head from the ledger to look towards the door.
Leng Junyu also completely halted his pacing, standing tightly at the door with his heart hanging in suspense as he awaited any movement from inside.
Time passed second by second; it felt like a century had gone by when in reality it was just a minute.
The previously closed Carved Wooden Door swung open from within, revealing Xue Li’s sweat-drenched smiling face and the small baby in her arms.
“Congratulations, my lord! The princess has given birth to a girl this time!”
As soon as Xue Li's congratulatory words were spoken, Leng Junyu was struck like a bolt from the blue, staring blankly for a while before slowly coming to his senses. His eyes widened in disbelief as he exclaimed,
"What!? Is what you said true!? Is it a girl!?"
"Yes, congratulations, Your Highness. You finally got your wish; the princess has given birth to a daughter, and both mother and child are safe!"
Seeing her lord in such a daze for the first time made Xue Li smile brightly.
Upon hearing Xue Li's words, Leng Junyu snapped back to reality, his gaze falling on the tiny infant in Xue Li's arms. Unable to contain himself, he let out a chuckle.
"Hehe, a daughter! I finally have a daughter!"
Leng Junyu laughed heartily, looking somewhat foolish. Although this was not his first time being a father, this was his first daughter!
At that moment, Leng Junyu displayed the silly joy of a new father, causing those around him to stifle their laughter behind their hands.
However, Leng Junyu paid no mind to them. After taking his first daughter into his arms, he suddenly remembered something and strode purposefully toward the room.
"Le Yao Yao! It's a girl! We finally have a daughter!"
With long strides, Leng Junyu entered the room. Inside, the mess had already been tidied up by the servants.
After enduring hours of pain, Le Yao Yao finally gave birth, feeling utterly exhausted as she lay on the bed.
Having just delivered, Le Yao Yao looked somewhat disheveled; her hair was slightly damp with sweat, sticking to her cheeks. Her small face appeared a bit pale.
However, when she saw Leng Junyu striding towards her, the joy in her heart was unmistakable.
"Ah, yes! We finally have a daughter," she exclaimed.
Seeing Leng Junyu's delighted expression, as if he were holding the most precious treasure in the world, filled Le Yao Yao with immense happiness.
She felt a deep sense of relief. After all, she wasn't a sow giving birth to numerous piglets; she had been quite anxious herself.
Yet having four sons left her feeling somewhat unfulfilled.
She longed for a daughter—not because she favored one gender over another, but simply because she felt daughters were more endearing!
Finally, after having four children, she had given birth to a daughter—what a wonderful moment!
Filled with joy, Le Yao Yao couldn't help but speak to the beaming Leng Junyu.
"Junyu, let me hold our daughter."
"Alright," he replied.
Upon hearing this, Leng Junyu carefully handed the baby in his arms to Le Yao Yao.
Looking at the little one wrapped in the blanket, small and rosy, resembling a dough ball, Le Yao Yao's eyes softened, filled with the radiant glow of maternal happiness.
She felt that for her, enduring another ten hours of pain would be worth it.
The baby in the blanket hadn’t opened its eyes yet, but its small mouth moved slightly, looking incredibly adorable.
Seeing Le Yao Yao smile with such happiness made Leng Junyu feel that their precious daughter was indeed very cute. He chuckled softly and said, "Look, Pride of Snow looks just like you."
They had waited so many years to finally use the name Pride of Snow.
Le Yao Yao couldn't help but laugh in response. "The child is still so small; how can you say she looks like me?"
"Hehe, people say boys take after their fathers and daughters take after their mothers."
"Hehe, that seems to be true."
Le Yao Yao smiled brightly at his words.
On her stunning little face, though slightly weary, she looked enchanting.
Seeing this, Leng Junyu's cold eyes flickered for a moment as he gazed affectionately at the little baby in his arms and the beautiful woman on the bed, his eyes glistening with emotion.
"Le Yao Yao, thank you for giving me children. Thank you for bringing so much joy into my life. Thank you for being by my side. Thank you for loving me."
Leng Junyu spoke, his voice hoarse yet emotional.
The words he uttered were so sensual and captivating, like a fine wine just uncorked, drawing one into its depths.
At his words, Le Yao Yao felt a stir in her heart and looked up.
Immediately, she met the man's passionate gaze.
His eyes brimmed with tenderness, almost drowning her in their depths, making it hard to escape.
It had been ten years since they first met, got to know each other, and fell in love. A full decade had passed.
In these ten years, their hearts had room for no one but each other; they were one entity.
Their hearts were united as one.
Le Yao Yao gazed at the man beside her. Over the course of ten years, he had grown even more masculine.
Though he remained taciturn with everyone else, his love for her was something she felt every moment.
It filled her with immense happiness!
In the past, she had complained about being sent to this unfamiliar dynasty by fate. But now, she was grateful to the heavens because it led her to her greatest love in this life!
Now, facing the man's heartfelt confession, even though they had become like an old married couple, Le Yao Yao still felt her heart fluttering.
Her cheeks flushed, adding a hint of color to her otherwise pale face.
Leng Junyu adored this shy side of Le Yao Yao.
Even though they had been together for so many years, every time he faced her, his heart would race uncontrollably.
He also knew that Le Yao Yao felt the same way about him as always.
Whenever they engaged in their intimate moments, Le Yao Yao was always so bashful, which delighted him immensely.
Now, seeing Le Yao Yao's blushing and charming appearance made Leng Junyu's heart flutter even more.
Finally, his affectionate gaze flickered a few times before settling on her delicate lips...
It had been a long time since they had shared such closeness; even a simple kiss on her small mouth had been ages ago...
Thinking of this, Leng Junyu slowly leaned down, intending to give his princess a proper kiss.
After years of marriage, Le Yao Yao naturally understood what Leng Junyu was about to do.
Thus, her blush deepened.
As their lips drew closer, they could feel each other's breath.
Just as Leng Junyu's lips were about to land on Le Yao Yao's sweet ones, ready to savor their sweetness, a burst of children's laughter suddenly broke through the moment.
Three little boys, each uniquely adorable and resembling finely carved jade, came running in with gleeful energy.
Behind them followed the already ten-year-old, somewhat precocious Leng Yixuan.
Watching such a romantic moment being interrupted by a few little troublemakers, Leng Junyu's handsome face darkened.
However, the little troublemakers paid no attention to their father's grim expression. They cheerfully ran to the bedside, aiming for Old Five in Leng Junyu's arms.
"Wow, I finally have a sister!" the second brother exclaimed joyfully, clapping his hands. He then gave Old Five's soft left cheek a hearty kiss, feeling as if his lips were touching cotton candy. Just as he was about to give her another peck, he was pushed aside by Third Child.
"Second Brother, you've already kissed our sister; now it's my turn."
Third Child indignantly said this to the second brother before turning his face toward Old Five. The delicate little face smiled radiantly, and he happily kissed her right cheek.
From his gentle actions, it was clear that he belonged to the gentle faction!
After kissing his sister, Third Child stepped back to make room for Fourth Brother.
Fourth Brother was still very young, only one and a half years old. He walked unsteadily, like a drunken man.
But even at such a young age, he understood that his mother had given him a sister. His little face, streaming with two lines of snot, lit up with joy.
Just as Fourth Brother was about to kiss Old Five, Leng Yixuan, the responsible older brother, wiped his nose for him so that Fourth Brother could get closer to Old Five.
Otherwise, if Fourth Brother had gone in for a kiss, wouldn't Old Five's face be covered in snot?
At that moment, their father's expression would surely be darker than an iron pot.
Leng Yixuan thought this through. Watching the little troublemakers disrupt the tender moment he had just shared with Le Yao Yao, Leng Junyu's mood was clearly sour. Now seeing Fourth Brother with a snot-covered face made it seem like he might just grab him by the sleeve and throw him out.
Fortunately, Leng Yixuan was quick-witted and perceptive enough to notice the situation. She wiped Fourth Brother's nose; otherwise, poor Fourth Brother would have been taken away without even getting close to Old Five!
After kissing Old Five on the forehead, Fourth Brother sat contentedly on the ground, another stream of snot sliding down his face.
Eventually, after playing with his little sister and giving her a kiss, Leng Junyu, the stern father, couldn't help but usher everyone out.
After all, Le Yao Yao had given birth after more than ten hours of labor and was now utterly exhausted.
Indeed, Le Yao Yao was worn out. After gazing at Old Five's face, her eyelids grew heavier and heavier until she finally succumbed to sleep.
Leng Junyu looked at the tired face of the woman on the bed, his eyes filled with tenderness.
Reluctant to leave, he handed the baby over to the eldest and stayed by the bedside.
Leng Yixuan understood as well; after taking Old Five into her arms, she displayed her leadership skills by directing the three little ones out of the room and even closed the door behind them.
Once the children had left, the room fell silent.
Outside, the sun shone brightly, casting slanted rays that illuminated the space.
Sheer curtains fluttered as a beautiful woman lay sweetly asleep on the luxurious bed.
Beside her sat a tall and handsome man.
The man gazed affectionately at the woman; in his world at that moment, only she existed. This scene was so warm and beautiful that it made one unable to resist sending them blessings...
Meanwhile, Leng Yixuan, holding Old Five as she stepped outside, looked up at the bright sun in the sky. Her lovely deep black eyes narrowed slightly in response to its brilliance.
The laughter of children echoed in his ears, bringing back memories of when he was five years old, on a scorching summer day. Two little kids played in the fields, catching frogs and collecting bird eggs...
And there was that adorable little face, which became clearer with the passage of time...
Xin'er...
