Chapter 474: Chapter 413: Is this considered seduction? The correct way of reverse forced marriage_2

"Susu, be good, let me finish eating then I’ll hold you, okay?"

Chun Xi looked down at Susu in her arms, who was smacking her mouth, her beautiful phoenix eyes fixed intently on Shen Chuwei’s ceaselessly chewing mouth.

"Master, Susu seems to want to eat?"

"Susu is too young, her stomach isn’t fully developed yet, she can’t eat spicy food," Shen Chuwei coaxed, looking down at Susu, "Wait till Susu grows up, then you can eat whatever you like."

Chun Xi couldn’t bear to let Susu just watch others eat, "This servant will go make an egg pancake for Susu to eat."

Shen Chuwei reminded, "Don’t add any salt, okay?"

"This servant knows." Chun Xi handed Susu over to a maid and went to the small kitchen herself.

The recipe for egg rolls was learned from Shen Chuwei; she said it was most suitable for babies to eat.

The skilled Chun Xi made egg rolls, and when she returned, Shen Chuwei and the Empress were already stuffed and sitting without moving.

Seeing Chun Xi with the egg rolls, Shen Chuwei beckoned to her, Bring it here to me.

Chun Xi, puzzled, handed the egg rolls to Shen Chuwei.

Shen Chuwei then ordered, "Bring the baby over."

Chun Xi had no choice but to carry the baby to Shen Chuwei.

The long-yearning Susu finally sat in Shen Chuwei’s embrace, yet there weren’t many delicious things left in front of her～

In front of Susu, Shen Chuwei picked up an egg roll, pretending to put it in her own mouth. Susu’s gaze followed the egg roll vigilantly, and seeing Shen Chuwei about to eat, she hurriedly opened her mouth to take a bite.

Biting it once wasn’t enough; she reached out to grab more.

Shen Chuwei let her daughter grab at the egg roll.

Susu, with both little hands on the egg roll, stuffed it into her mouth, the way she ate rice had quite a resemblance to Shen Chuwei.

The Empress watched Susu eating the egg roll and laughed, "Susu is really good at eating."

Shen Chuwei gave no definite response.

At this moment, Taotao was soundly asleep in her little bed.

During the night

After playing all day, both adults and children had gone to sleep early.

Shen Chuwei fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

After finishing his work, the Emperor came to Fengyi Palace only to find the lights out, so he had to return to Yangxin Hall.

A eunuch from the Office of Respectful Service brought the Green Top Card, "Your Majesty."

Feeling irritated, the Emperor didn’t even look and sharply commanded, "Leave."

"Yes." The eunuch startled, quickly retreated with the Green Top Card.

Seeing this, Eunuch Li hurriedly withdrew, and upon returning, he carried a cup of chrysanthemum tea.

"Your Majesty, the weather is dry, and it’s easy to get inflamed, have some chrysanthemum tea to rest well," he said.

Upon hearing this, the Emperor looked at the teacup in front of him, reached out to lift the lid, and took a few sips.

In the East Palace, Xiao Jinyan, having shared a bed with Shen Chuwei for so long and never apart, suddenly couldn’t sleep alone.

In the middle of the night, he stared at the Night Pearl on the headboard, remembering how every time they made love, Jiu would take out the Night Pearl and place it by the bed.

Xiao Jinyan sighed, wondering if Jiu could sleep in an unfamiliar place.

The next day, after the morning court, the Emperor was waiting for the Crown Prince.

But the Crown Prince didn’t show; instead, Xiao Jinyu did.

"This son greets Father Emperor."

The Emperor looked at his son with a face of disappointment, "Jinyu, what brings you here?"

Xiao Jinyu said, "Father Emperor, you promised you and Mother Empress would meet Miss Han. It’s been several days."

Only then did the Emperor remember he was supposed to meet his son’s beloved. In the past few days, with Princess Xueyan poisoning Susu, comforting the Empress, and the Crown Princess moving into Fengyi Palace...

"I’ve been too busy and forgot," he admitted.

Xiao Jinyu secretly celebrated making the trip, otherwise, who knows when Father Emperor would remember.

"Is Father Emperor free tomorrow?"

After a moment’s contemplation, the Emperor said, "Wait a bit longer. I’m somewhat busy these days. One cannot eat hot tofu in haste, understand?"

Xiao Jinyu used the words they had used to pressure him to marry, "I’m already eighteen, Father Emperor, should I not be anxious? Other princes have sons old enough to fetch soy sauce by eighteen."

The Emperor felt there was some sense in his words, "It’s just that I truly am tied up at the moment."

Xiao Jinyu continued, "If I don’t hurry to get married, when will I have both a son and a daughter like Crown Prince brother?"

The Emperor paused, "That also requires time."

"What matter does not require time? Each day I delay marriage, the arrival of your little grandson is postponed, day after day, endlessly. Do you understand, Father Emperor?" Xiao Jinyu raised his voice.

The Emperor was speechless...

Under his son’s persistence, the Emperor said, "How about tomorrow?"

"That’s more like it, Father Emperor, you go on with your work, your son takes his leave," Xiao Jinyu happily exited the Imperial Study Room.

Upon leaving the Imperial Study Room, Xiao Jinyu hurried back to Qiancheng Hall to tell Miss Han, so she could prepare well.

Not paying attention around the corner, he collided with someone coming from the opposite direction, causing the pastries in their hands to fall to the floor, and nearly causing them to fall backward.

Having learned martial arts, Xiao Jinyu reacted swiftly, catching the person.

Once he saw clearly, he realized it was someone from the Empress Dowager’s side, Wanxin.

"Are you alright?"

Xiao Jinyu had been to Cining Palace to pay respects to the Empress Dowager, so Wanxin recognized him.

She lowered her eyes, "This commoner is fine, thank you, Prince Jinyu." She said as she looked down at the pastries on the ground, squatting to pick them up while regretfully saying, "It’s a pity these pastries were meant for his Majesty from the Empress Dowager."

Xiao Jinyu felt somewhat guilty for walking too hurriedly; he squatted down to help her pick them up, "It was this prince’s carelessness that knocked them down. Tell the truth when you return, and the Empress Dowager will not blame you."

Wanxin raised her head, looking at the face in front of her that bore a six to seven tenths resemblance to the Crown Prince, who was earnestly helping her pick up pastries, a completely different demeanor from the Crown Prince’s cold and distant one.

"It was this commoner’s lack of attention while walking; how could I blame Prince Jinyu?"

Xiao Jinyu had never before met such a pleasant and understanding woman.

"It was clearly this prince’s fault for bumping into you and spilling the pastries... never mind, let this prince accompany you back," he said.

Wanxin shook her head, "There’s no need to trouble Prince Jinyu, this commoner can return on her own."

Xiao Jinyu responded, "It’s no trouble, this prince was just about to pay respects to the Empress Dowager."

Upon hearing that, Wanxin no longer declined, and the two headed back to Cining Palace together.

The Emperor waited in the Imperial Study Room for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, and becoming a bit restless when the Crown Prince did not appear.

"Eunuch Li, call the Crown Prince here."
