"Ouch!" When the carriage was almost at the Luo Residence, Yangyang suddenly let out an exclamation.
"Whatās wrong? Why the shock?"
Yangyang looked at the three people in the carriage and then said with a sudden sadness, "Handsome dad, I used to talk about becoming a top-rank official, but now I havenāt even become a little soldier, and brother has become a top-rank one. Am I not losing at the starting line?"
"Haha, you even know about the starting line?" Ye Ziāan laughed heartily, finding his son incredibly adorable.
"Mom mentioned it." Yangyang chuckled, "Mom said a lot of new phrases, and I remember them all."
"Little brother, I became a prince thanks to dad and grandma. You, on your own, will definitely be more awesome than brother! Thatās where the real sense of achievement comes from," Lele said, pulling him aside to add his comment.
"Is that so?" Yangyang scratched his head, "Seems like it."
After being confused for a moment, he crossed his arms and declared confidently, "I will definitely work hard to make myself more badass! Iāll make mom proud when she goes out!"
"Haha, then mom will be waiting."
Yangyang nodded his little head, "Mom, Iām not boasting!"
"Alright, get down from the carriage." When they reached the yard, Ye Ziāan got down first. Seeing that Yangyang was still talking with his arms crossed, he reached out and picked him up from behind.
"Wow!" Startled by being suddenly lifted up from behind, Yangyang kicked out, "Handsome dad, thatās a sneak attack!"
"Tch, such a scaredy-cat and you still want to be a general?" Ye Ziāan set the little guy down and snickered, "Donāt wet your pants when you ride a horse into battle and see the enemy with their big swords."
"Oh my." Yangyang immediately covered his face and ran into the house, shouting as he ran, "Wetting pants just from seeing someone, that definitely wonāt be me!"
Seeing him run so fast, Ye Ziāan shook his head helplessly.
By the time Yang Chuxia got down, his figure was already out of sight.
Then looking at Lele, within moments he was nodding off in the carriage. Seeing this, Ye Ziāan had no choice but to carry him down, send him back to the room, resignedly fetch water for him to rinse off, and as he was leaving, seeing him sound asleep, he couldnāt help but sigh, "So defenseless, and yet daring to say heās not foolish."
Only after he left, the supposedly sound-asleep Lele opened his eyes and suddenly burst into a silly giggle again.
It had to be said, it was a case of a big and a small fox, both cunning to the extreme.
"Are the kids asleep?"
"Lele is already asleep. Yangyang is still washing up."
Ye Ziāan stepped forward, and the two children in the small bed were also deep in sleep, "Itās good to be young, carefree."
"Thatās ostrich thinking. They have to grow up eventually. Do you expect them to stay this small forever?" Yang Chuxia brought over another blanket, placed it on top of the bed linens, and then went to prepare the washing essentials for the two of them.
Ye Ziāan drank some wine at the palace banquet, so by the time Yang Chuxia, fresh from her bath, lay down smelling sweet, he naturally got a little restless and somewhat out of control.
But at the last moment, he stopped, leaving Yang Chuxia somewhat perplexed. However, it was just a fleeting thought. Assuming he was tired, she snuggled up with Ye Ziāan and slept soundly.
And after she fell asleep, Ye Ziāan opened his eyes, looking at her in the darkness for a long while, as if trying to see clearly through the dark light of eternity.
The next day, New Yearās Eve, snowflakes began to flutter down in the Capital City, quickly covering the ground with a layer that stung the eyes.
Before long, someone came from the front hall to announce the arrival of the rewards from the banquet.
Yang Chuxia and Ye Ziāan went out together. The visitor mentioned that this was only a part of the rewards. After selecting a new princeās mansion after the New Year, the rest of the items would be sent there.
