Chapter 1268: Chapter 1268: The Child is Hungry

The wife of Prince Rui’s son, still clutching at her clothes with relentless tugs, caused Prince Rui to frown with a cold expression, "Humph, this naughty boy, I think he needs a good spanking. So young and already pulling on your clothes, never letting go." Prince Rui was born into great privilege, the Royal Family certainly not lacking in wastrel heirs.

Prince Rui had seen plenty, those members of the Royal Family who indulged excessively in the company of women were many. Once bewitched, few would make anything of themselves, squandering their days in wine and the pleasures of women, none of them amounting to anything significant. The first son of Prince Rui and his wife was his legitimate heir, his status as Little Prince determined even before his birth.

In the future, everything in Prince Rui Residence would be inherited by him, the entire Wang Residence would be handed over into his keeping, and Prince Rui certainly did not wish his eldest legitimate son to be among the idle and ambitionless.

Prince Rui appeared ready to discipline his son, but the wife of Prince Rui pulled aside her clothes to feed the child, "Prince, and you call yourself a father! Can’t you tell the child is hungry?" When a child is hungry, naturally he must eat. Though several wet nurses had been arranged by Prince Rui and the old wife of Prince Qi Residence even before the child’s birth, the wife of Prince Rui preferred to nurse him herself, pleased to see her child feeding contentedly in her arms.

She felt more fulfilled than anything else, pinching her chubby little son’s hands and feet, the wife of Prince Rui felt that all her suffering had been worth it.

The wife of Prince Rui fed naturally, leaving Prince Rui slightly bewildered. "Ruirui, are you saying our son was tugging at your clothes because he was hungry?"

Being a large man and a first-time father, Prince Rui was somewhat clueless about all this. The wife of Prince Rui glanced at her husband, who understood nothing, and rolled her eyes at him.

"What do you think?" The child was only a month old! Apart from eating and sleeping, what could a child know? Only Prince Rui could suspect the child was thinking about women.

With an awkward smile, Prince Rui said, "Ruirui, don’t we have wet nurses? Why do you feed him yourself?" In the palace and among the wives of princes, it was customary to prepare wet nurses before the birth of a child. When the child was born, he wouldn’t have to be nursed personally but handed over to a wet nurse for care. Prince Rui himself had selected excellent wet nurses for his son.

They were highly capable and wouldn’t make any mistakes when feeding the child.

Without looking at Prince Rui, the wife of Prince Rui patted the child while nursing him, "Prince, today is the child’s full-month celebration. As his father, you should go and greet the guests. I’ll feed the child, and once he’s had his fill, I’ll join you in welcoming the guests."

Prince Rui watched his wife nurse their son, observing the child’s little hands grasping eagerly at his food. Prince Rui felt a dryness in his throat. The wife of Prince Rui looked up and chastised him with a glance.

"Prince, what are you staring at? Go greet the guests already." Though she and Prince Rui were husband and wife, it was nonetheless embarrassing for the wife of Prince Rui to be stared at so openly by Prince Rui in front of their son.

Prince Rui coughed awkwardly. Under such a situation, Prince Rui hadn’t thought to do anything inappropriate? "Ruirui, you feed the child well; I’ll go greet the guests now."

Su Yunjin and Gu Ya held the invitation given by Lingling and, coupled with Su Yunjin’s previous visits, the servants of Prince Qi Residence recognized her well.

Upon seeing Su Yunjin, the butler greeted her and Gu Ya with a smile, inviting them to enter the residence and sit. Su Yunjin knew that gifts from guests were to be handed to the butler, so she readily passed the gift she had brought to him.
