Chapter 964: Chapter 632: The Empress’s Worries, A Bowl of Longevity Noodles is Enough to Satisfy_2

The Empress sighed, "The Crown Prince has been a hostage in Nanzhao Country for so many years, and since his return, his personality has changed drastically. I don’t know how to interact with him; I always feel that he resents me."

"Not to hide from you, I’m also worried that he might harm his own brother for the sake of the Crown Prince’s position. When he returned from Nanzhao Country, his gaze was so unfamiliar and indifferent, as though he were looking at a stranger."

Feng Wuyou felt sorry for Xiao Jinyan. To be distrusted by his own mother, when it was he who had suffered all these years.

"Mother, Your Highness is also your son. How can you suspect your own son? His Highness has never regarded Yuyu as a rival; it is Yuyu who feels indifferent toward the Crown Prince’s position."

The Empress said, "I know Yuyu is indifferent to the position of the Crown Prince. Over these years, I have noticed that the Crown Prince and Yuyu have a very good relationship. However, the estrangement between the Crown Prince and me isn’t so easily resolved; it is my failing towards him."

Feng Wuyou said, "Mother, His Highness was often bullied by the other princes in Nanzhao Country, he would always sit alone in a corner without speaking. When I first saw him, I even thought he was mute. I believe, at that time, His Highness must have been missing his family."

After listening to this, the Empress felt as if her heart had been pricked by a needle, pained.

The Crown Prince was her and the Emperor’s second child. The first child was a miscarriage, so when he was born, both she and the Emperor were very happy.

No one does not love their own child.

She still remembers the look in the Crown Prince’s eyes when he was sent away, so much so that she now dares not look him in the eyes.

"Only incapable parents would let their children be bullied outside."

Feng Wuyou did not continue, as throughout Xiao Jinyan’s time in a foreign land, she was there with him.

"Mother, for His Highness’s birthday, why not cook him a bowl of Longevity Noodles yourself?"

The Empress was somewhat skeptical, "A bowl of Longevity Noodles is too casual, isn’t it? Shouldn’t we prepare something else?"

Feng Wuyou said, "Mother, His Highness has always asked for little. A bowl of Longevity Noodles cooked by you yourself will make him happy for a very long time."

After hearing this, the Empress was stunned for a long while, so much so that even after Feng Wuyou had left, she remained immersed in that sentiment.

When Xiao Jinyu arrived, Xiao Jinyan was bustling with busyness.

"Crown Prince Brother, it’s almost time for lunch, and you’re still busy?" Xiao Jinyu approached the writing desk.

"Once these are settled, I’ll go to have lunch. Did you come because there’s something you need?" Xiao Jinyan asked without lifting his head.

Xiao Jinyu chuckled twice, "Mother has already agreed to my request, allowing Han Concubine to become my main wife. From now on, like Crown Prince Brother, I’ll have only one spouse."

Xiao Jinyan said, "Then congratulations to you, your wish is fulfilled."

Xiao Jinyu went on, "I’m planning to move out with Ayan, there are too many rules in the palace, and it’s freer outside."

Xiao Jinyan lifted his head to look at his brother, sighing at how fast time flies; his brother had reached the age of adulthood.

"Speaking of which, this year is indeed the year you come of age, moving out is a good idea, you’re an adult now."

Xiao Jinyu stared at the Crown Prince for a while and called out, "Crown Prince Brother."

Xiao Jinyan asked, "What is it?"

Xiao Jinyu said very sentimentally, "Because of Crown Prince Brother, I have lived carefree for twenty years. Without Crown Prince Brother, I would have had to bear too many responsibilities, and I couldn’t be so carefree."

Xiao Jinyan looked puzzled at his brother, "What’s with you today? Suddenly saying all this?"

Xiao Jinyu continued with sentimentality, "I’m very grateful to have Crown Prince Brother, Crown Prince Brother is my idol, and nobody else can replace you."

Xiao Jinyan: "·····"

"Crown Prince Brother, stop being busy for a while, it’s lunchtime, let’s go to Hehuan Hall for lunch, Ayan has recovered nicely, and it’s been a long time since she had a meal at Hehuan Hall, she’s been missing it," Xiao Jinyu said with a grin.

Xiao Jinyan: "·····" After all that talk, it turns out he just wants to scrounge a meal.

In the evening, at bedtime.

Feng Wuyou took the initiative to wrap her arms around Xiao Jinyan’s neck, catching him off guard.

For the past few days, Xiao Jiu had not let him touch her.

"Xiao Jiu, is there any happy news today?"

"Yeah, it’s quite a joyful day," Feng Wuyou said as she sat on top of him, surveying the man in front of her, lit by the Night Pearl above.

Suddenly, she remembered Xiao Jinyan at the age of eight, adorably stern, silently pouting – a memory she cherished for a long time.

Seeing her just smiling at him without saying a word, he pinched her cheek. "What are you laughing at?"
