Chapter 1266: Chapter 1266: Profligate Son

Today, the Prince Qi Residence held a full-moon celebration for the Little Prince, and I’ve heard that Prince Rui himself came today. The birth of the Little Prince is a major event, especially since he is the precious grandson of the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager longed to see her own flesh and blood. If it weren’t for the emperor’s intervention, the Empress Dowager would have made the trip to this small town herself. Prince Rui’s visit was not just to see his wife, Prince Rui, but also to see the Little Prince. Back at Prince Rui Residence, Prince Rui still had some issues to resolve. Originally, Prince Rui planned to come just to visit his wife and his son, waiting until the threat to his wife and child had been eliminated.

Only then would Prince Rui bring his wife and child back to Jincheng.

However, the Empress Dowager missed her grandson, and before Prince Rui came here, she specifically decreed that Prince Rui must bring her little grandson back with him. None of the consorts in the emperor’s harem are currently pregnant, and this legitimate son of his own brother, Prince Rui, is also the first legitimate imperial grandson of the old Empress Dowager.

For her first legitimate grandson, the Empress Dowager’s affection is unique. Prince Rui, obedient and respectful, did not dare to defy the august command from the Empress Dowager.

He promised that after the full-moon celebration, he would bring the Prince and his wife to Jincheng. Prince Rui arrived a few days in advance, and the Little Prince looked strong and sturdy. Fair and tender, the little fellow’s pair of dark eyes twirled around—Prince Rui was holding such a small child for the first time.

In the past, Prince Rui had seen such small children among the Royal Family, but at that time, Prince Rui had no particular fondness for children, especially since they were others’ offspring; he did not like to hold them. But now, looking at his own son, and one born to the woman whom Prince Rui loved, naturally his feelings were different. Holding his child, Prince Rui felt somewhat clumsy, afraid that he might hurt the little one. The wife of Prince Rui laughed "Pfft," watching Prince Rui’s awkward movements.

"My Prince, hand me the child; I’ll show you how," she said. Holding a child also requires technique, and the way Prince Rui was so stiff made neither comfortable. A month-old child is also quite clever; sensing that it was not his mother holding him,

he immediately began crying loudly.

As his child wept, Prince Rui’s heart ached, and he hastily handed the baby back to the wife of Prince Rui, who cradled him gently and patted him. The child who had just been wailing ceased his tears in an instant and snuggled into his mother’s bosom, his little head bobbing, hands reaching to grasp at the clothes in front of his mother.

Seeing his son act this way, Prince Rui’s expression darkened. He even pretended to discipline the little fellow, but his wife, understanding her man, knew very well what Prince Rui intended.

Quickly like a hen protecting her chick, she shielded the child in her arms,

eyeing Prince Rui with wary vigilance.

"My Prince, what are you trying to do?" The child was still so young; how could he be struck? Moreover, Prince Rui’s wife had struggled with this pregnancy. After such hardship, she had finally given birth to this precious son—it was only natural that she couldn’t bear for Prince Rui to scold him. He was her only son,

and she wouldn’t allow anyone to bully him.

Prince Rui didn’t really want to hit the child; he was just trying to give the little guy a scare. The little fellow continued to tug at his mother’s clothing with his plump hands, his head still bobbing, his little body squirming. He clearly did not regard himself as the son of a prince.

Watching this scene with his son, Prince Rui harrumphed, "At such a young age, this kid already knows how to pull at a woman’s clothing. If he isn’t taught a lesson, who knows, he might grow up to be a debauched wastrel who spends his days chasing after pretty faces and powder."
