Chapter 1087: Chapter 887: Life is Unlovable

Xiaobao had already started to protest, uttering some grunts and sighs, and after protesting, he put on a pitiful look, "Mom, aren’t you taking any notice of Xiaobao anymore? Mom, Xiaobao is so pitiable."

Moved by compassion, Nan Feng had no choice but to pick up Xiaobao. While holding Xiaobao and applying rouge on herself, who knew Xiaobao, being too curious, saw Nan Feng apply the powder and also wished to play with it. She reached out for the powder case, but since it was too far and she reached awkwardly, the powder case fell to the floor with a "clatter", scattering everywhere.

Nan Feng was on the verge of a breakdown.

She looked at her face in the mirror that was only half made-up, then raised her head to the ceiling, feeling a sense of despair.

And Xiaobao turned to glance at Nan Feng, not sure if it was because she found the sight of Nan Feng applying powder funny, but she started giggling.

Nan Feng turned over, with only one thought in her mind: Raising a child is really not easy.

...

When Ye Ge returned from outside the Palace, his relationship with the Emperor and the Virtuous Consort had already improved greatly.

The lack of affection over so many years, although it couldn’t be completely made up for all at once, at least now they seemed more like a family. The son was filial, the wife was gentle, and the father was the Emperor himself.

After observing along the journey, the Emperor’s appreciation for Ye Ge only increased. His poise and composure, along with the sights and insights he had on the road, all resonated with the Emperor. What the Emperor especially valued was Ye Ge’s heart of sincerity. He was someone who always considered the people in all he did, advocating for following public opinion and listening to the voices of the people.

The Emperor had wanted to talk with Ye Ge about appointing a new heir several times, but he had been stopped by the Virtuous Consort each time. She suggested that the Emperor shouldn’t rush things and take it slow. Rushing to move the Crown Prince’s position could lead to discontent among those who originally supported him, easily causing unrest. Besides, Ye Ge had yet to make any notable achievements, and it was essential for him to earn some first.

The Emperor had to suppress the idea for a long while, but after all, he had already planned for Ye Ge to succeed him, and waiting a bit longer wouldn’t be too late.

Ye Ge came back to Hua Xi, bringing with him a lot of things for Nan Feng and Xiaobao. But Nan Feng, looking at those things, felt that they were all folk items Ye Ge had picked up from the outside, such as children’s carriers, beautifully crafted bibs, and other things that would make childcare easier.

Ye Ge was simply trying to alleviate Nan Feng’s stress from childcare, but Nan Feng found herself longing for the hairpins and Onyx accessories, the sort of things Ye Ge used to give her, the kind that other girls wore.

Was it true that once a woman became a mother, she no longer had the right to adorn herself beautifully?

Seeing Nan Feng’s disinterested demeanor, Ye Ge still reminded her, "Fengfeng, do you like them? I went to many places to pick these out especially."

Nan Feng glanced at Xiaobao: "Xiaobao should like them."

"And what about you?" Ye Ge was a bit nervous, noticing that Nan Feng wasn’t very happy.

"Me?" Nan Feng thought of the makeup case that had been dropped: "It doesn’t matter to me, it’s all about Xiaobao, isn’t it?"

But Ye Ge misunderstood, and asked Nan Feng again, "Fengfeng, are you blaming me for being away too long?"

"How could that be? You went to have fun with our parents, as their son, you should spend more time with them. How could I blame you?"

"Is that so? Then you don’t like the gifts I brought back for you?" asked Ye Ge again.

The question had looped back around, and Nan Feng had no choice but to nod: "I like them, they will make it easier for me to take care of Xiaobao, how could I not like them."

Still not satisfied, Ye Ge embraced Nan Feng again: "Fengfeng, what do you like? Next time, what should I bring for you?"
