Chapter 1130: Chapter 953, Debut
After arriving in Liangdu, Daohua was indeed busy for several days getting everything in order in the Prince Residence.
“Mom, Mom~”
Daozi’s crisp and resounding voice ca in.
Fangniang had just entered the room holding Daozi, who leaned forward and stretched his arms out towards Daohua.
Daohua imdiately stood up, embraced her son, and kissed his cheek. Seeing that he was holding a small piece of apple in his hand, she smiled and asked, “Did your great-grandfather give this to you?”
Gu Jian was Daohua’s master, Xiao Yeyang’s maternal uncle, and the couple had specifically discussed how their son should address him. Eventually, they simply taught him to call him great-grandfather.
Daozi, being held by his mother, was delighted, nodded obediently, and even reached to extend the apple towards Daohua’s mouth.
Daohua bent down and took a small bite, then smiling with tenderness in her eyes she said, “The rest is for Daozi to eat.”
Her son’s front teeth had grown in, and Daohua would periodically give things to her son to help him teethe.
At this mont, Guyu brought over a stack of visiting cards: “Princess Consort, these are all the invitations that have co in the past few days.”
Daohua glanced at them, then continued to wipe her son’s drool, speaking as she wiped, “There’s no rush for the others, but I should see eldest sister-in-law, second younger sister, and third younger sister first.”
Guyu nodded, “Then I will send soone to the Yan Residence to relay the ssage later.”
Daohua humd in approval, chuckling as she shook her son, “Tomorrow, Daozi will be able to et your great aunt and both aunts, are you happy?”
Daozi looked at Daohua with a puzzled expression, then continued to gnaw on his apple and let out a ‘ya’, signaling Daohua not to disturb his eating.
…
The next day, Han Xinran brought Yan Yihuan, Yan Yishuang to the Prince Residence, not just them, but Yan Wenxiu, Xiu Yi, and You Kai also ca.
After Xiao Yeyang arrived in Xiliang, he t with Yan Wenxiu at the Commandant Office and also discussed arrangents for Xiu Yi and You Kai. After Yan Wenxiu got the news, he imdiately wrote letters to Xiu Yi and You Kai.
After receiving the letters, the two ca to Liangdu, firstly to fetch their wives, and secondly to et with Xiao Yeyang.
“Big brother, sister-in-law!”
Daohua and Xiao Yeyang personally went to the Chuihua Gate to receive their guests.
Seeing Yan Wenxiu and the others coming, Daohua hurriedly welcod them. Han Xinran along with Yan Yihuan and Yan Yishuang also quickly approached, exchanging warm greetings.
Xiao Yeyang was smiling and talking with Yan Wenxiu, Xiu Yi, and You Kai, leading them into the house.
Daohua, holding onto Han Xinran, chatted with Yan Yihuan and Yan Yishuang, following behind.
After entering the house and everyone taking their seats, there was another round of cordial greetings.
Daohua specifically inquired about the health of Grandmother Yan, Madam Li, and Yan Zhigao, and only after learning that her grandmother and her parents were in good health did she relax.
While everyone was sharing their recent experiences, suddenly the voice of a maid ca from outside.
“Little Prince, slow down~”
Hearing this, everyone’s gaze involuntarily turned towards the doorway, and in a short while, they saw a chubby little figure, with a tiger-like aura, leaning on the wall and poking his head inside.
Now, Daozi was walking more and more steadily, didn’t like people leading him, and preferred to hold onto the wall and walk slowly.
Daozi looked around the room bewildered, his big dark eyes twinkling, glancing here and there, then pointing at Yan Wenxiu and others, babbling as if asking who these people were.
Seeing the maid behind her son seed to want to pick him up, Daohua quickly gestured to stop her and stood still, pointing at Yan Wenxiu and the rest, “Daozi, co in and greet your great uncle and aunt, and your aunts and uncles.”
Daozi saw his mother waving at him and imdiately started moving his arms to wave back.
“This must be Mohxi, right?”
Yan Wenxiu and the others looked at the chubby little boy with an endearing gaze.
Han Xinran chuckled and said, “This child is really well-grown.”
Daozi was a bit taller than most children his age, and Daohua had started feeding him various complentary foods produced in the space when he was around seven or eight months old. Now, he had a healthy, rosy complexion and lively vigor, resembling the child depicted in traditional New Year paintings, making everyone who saw him feel instantly affectionate.
Xiao Yeyang imdiately laughed and replied, “This little guy has quite the appetite.”
Watching Xiao Yeyang’s smiling eyes and his face full of doting love, Yan Yihuan and Yan Yishuang couldn’t help but exchange glances.
Their big sister was living even better than they had imagined!
They originally thought that living conditions in Xiliang would be tough and that after spending three years there, their big sister would inevitably endure so hardship. But seeing her now, she seed to be living even better than they were in Beijing.
With her eyebrows relaxed, her smile radiant, and her every movent exuding a charming grace, she seed even more dazzling than when she was in Beijing.
“Mom~”
Daozi, seeing Daohua just watching him with a smile and not saying to co over and hug him, couldn’t help but call out anxiously.
Daohua still didn’t move but waved at her son again, “Daozi, co inside quickly.”
Seeing that his mother had no intention of coming to hold him, Daozi turned his eyes to Xiao Yeyang: “Daddy~”
Xiao Yeyang shuffled his feet a little and looked towards Daohua: “The threshold is so high, our son can’t climb over it. Maybe we should still carry him inside.”
Daohua hesitated. The threshold was only about ten centiters high, not very tall. She wanted to see how her son would handle it: “… Let’s wait a bit longer.” She said, then watched Daozi with a smile and motioned for him to co over.
Seeing this, Yan Wenxiu imdiately took off the red agate jade pendant hanging at his waist, shook it at Daozi, and called out, “Daozi, co to uncle’s side.”
Currently, Daozi liked brightly colored things. At the sight of the agate jade pendant in Yan Wenxiu’s hand, he carefully crouched down and then lay his whole body on the threshold, slowly creeping over it.
Once inside, he held onto the doorfra and gradually stood up bit by bit.
Upon seeing this, Daohua imdiately bead with joy: “Daozi, quickly co over to uncle’s side.”
Daozi glanced at the people inside the room, standing still as if he was afraid to let go, hesitating for a while before taking a few tentative steps forward, then stopped again to look at Daohua and Xiao Yeyang.
In the presence of others, Xiao Yeyang didn’t tease his son and just watched him with a smiling face.
“Daozi, co over here to uncle.”
Yan Wenxiu swayed the agate jade pendant in his hand, drawing Daozi’s attention.
Daozi stared intently at the agate jade pendant, walking a couple steps and then pausing, slowly making his way over to Yan Wenxiu, and then grabbing the jade pendant without letting go.
Yan Wenxiu picked up the little chubby boy, visibly chard as he bounced the little one, then said to Xiao Yeyang and Daohua, “You’ve raised this child really well; he’s quite heavy too.”
Daozi was not shy with strangers at all. Feeling amused, he imdiately started cooing at Yan Wenxiu, as if urging him to continue.
At this mont, Daohua walked over, no longer letting her son fuss, picked him up, and sat back down.
“Mom~”
Daozi, sitting in his mother’s lap, played with the agate jade pendant in his hands, looking as if he just got a new toy.
Daohua smiled and said, “This is a gift from your uncle; you must take good care of it.” Then she pointed at Yan Yishuang and the others, teaching her son to recognize them.
