Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family - Chapter 708

Chapter 708: Chapter 708: Meeting Gift
 

Oh! So they are from the main Di Family branch, no wonder they are not aware of it.

Everyone finally understood the situation and couldn’t help but break out in a sweat.

Zhao Yuanlang’s gaze shifted from Di Yelei to Nan Tianzong, and after a while, he looked over at the rest of the crowd. In the end, he didn’t say anything more and walked towards the front hall.

Prefecture Princess Luo’s eyes were covered with a white cloth, and she listened attentively to the sounds nearby without speaking.

Taking advantage of Liu Sisi walking behind, Di Yelei hurriedly grabbed her hand and anxiously scanned her from head to toe in concern: “How are you? Did he bully you?”

Liu Sisi shook her head, and her gaze fell on Di Ah-bao and Ms. Zhao: “Eat more cooked dishes and talk less during the meal today. If you don’t, don’t ask me how to move out later.”

After that, Liu Sisi took the lead and stepped into the front hall.

In the front hall, the eunuch Xiao with a pale, beardless face was carefully testing the cooked dishes on the table. After going through all the dishes, he stopped and stepped aside.

Zhao Yuanlang had already regained his composure. Seeing Liu Sisi, who was standing at the entrance hesitating, he quickly beckoned her.

“Ruyu, why are you still standing at the door? Come over here quickly and sit down beside me!”

Nan Tianzong’s face turned pale. The two people had already reached an agreement? He tried his best to maintain his composure and nodded to Liu Sisi.

“Yes.”

Liu Sisi also tried her best to hide her emotions and sat down on Zhao Yuanlang’s right side.

Everyone was held back by Di Yelei, fearing they would offend the noble guest. He and Nan Tianzong entered the front hall one after the other, standing on both sides of the room with their hands tied.

“Prince Gong, Prince Consort Di, please sit down and eat as well.”

Nobody dared to refute Zhao Yuanlang’s words, so the two thanked him and sat down.

“Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Reunion Festival. Since it’s a reunion festival, the whole family must be together. Invite them in as well, and let’s set up another table so everyone can eat together.”

With such command from His Majesty, Di Yelei naturally didn’t dare to disobey. He hurriedly went outside to give more instructions to everyone before calling them in again. This time, everyone was present, including the three infants who were still in swaddling clothes and were carried in by nannies.

At the moment, it was almost noontime. Fortunately, Young Master Di did not say anything more and took the lead in using his chopsticks.

Everyone was already hungry by now, and they naturally wouldn’t be polite in eating.

However, with guests present, the atmosphere during the meal was quite tense. For example, Di Ying, who was used to sitting next to Liu Sisi, suddenly found himself so far away from her that he nearly burst into tears. Thankfully, Ms. Xin sitting beside him covered his mouth in time.

Later, in the middle of the meal, the nanny’s baby, Niuniu, suddenly started crying. As soon as Niuniu cried, Chou Chou sitting next to her joined in as well. Only the youngest one stared around with wide eyes, his little claws rolling restlessly.

The two nannies were so frightened that their faces turned pale, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

Fortunately, Zhao Yuanlang did not get angry. He put down his bamboo chopsticks and looked at the babies in the nannies’ arms.

“Are these the triplets? Bring them over and let me have a look.”

Seeing Young Master Di stop using his chopsticks, everyone hastily put down their chopsticks too.

Di Yelei hurriedly got up and picked up the only triplet who wasn’t crying.

“Young Master Di, this is the smallest one of the triplets, and we usually call him Little. He was the weakest when he was born, but now he has grown to be slightly bigger than his older siblings,” explained Di Yelei in detail.

Zhao Yuanlang became interested: “Oh? Let me hold the child.”

Eunuch Xiao nearby hurriedly stepped forward, carefully taking the child from Di Yelei’s arms, and then brought Little to Zhao Yuanlang.

Zhao Yuanlang reached out to take the child and carefully looked at the child in his arms. The child had a small stature, but he was very lively and smiled very happily at Zhao Yuanlang, giggling constantly.

“Hey! Did this little guy recognize me? Did you also recognize that I am your grandfather? Yo yo yo, why are you smiling so happily, what exactly is it for?”

Young Master Di happily teased Little, and even stretched out his finger to gently scratch the little guy’s soft cheeks.

Unexpectedly, Little suddenly lifted his chubby little claws and directly grabbed Young Master Di’s thumb ring without letting go. He smiled at him, and kept “oh oh” in his little mouth, looking so cute!

“Haha! Ruyu, your little guy is quite smart. Look at him, at such a young age, he knows he wants good things. Alright! Since you like it, Grandpa will give it to you as a meeting gift!”

After saying that, Young Master Di laughed and directly took off the finger ring from his thumb, and handed it to Little.

There were several gasps heard in succession from behind.

Even Eunuch Xiao could not help but take two steps forward to stop him: “Your… Young Master, you cannot give this item away lightly, this is…”

“Hmm? Does this young master need you all to teach him how to act?”

Young Master Di’s face darkened, his cold gaze swept over the few people behind him, causing them to shudder and hurriedly step aside. But the expressions on their faces were not very good, and they dared not speak casually.

Liu Sisi’s heart was heavy as well. Although she didn’t understand what purpose this ring served, seeing the tense expressions on the faces of the accompanying palace members, it must have been extraordinary. Perhaps, this ring represented his identity.

It turned out that Liu Sisi hadn’t guessed wrong.

The ring did indeed represent Zhao Yuanlang, but it had another use. The jade ring was handed to him along with the will of the late Emperor when he was seriously ill, and it was of great importance!

At the moment, he freely gave it to Little without thinking, what did this imply?

No wonder the accompanying people were so tense.

Little, who was holding the ring tightly with his small arms and smiling at Young Master Di with his toothless little mouth, was very happy. He was blissfully unaware of the turbulence he unintentionally caused.

“Is Little the child’s real name?”

Little and Young Master Di were both smiling. After a while, Young Master Di raised his head and asked Liu Sisi.

Liu Sisi looked up at Di Yelei and Elderly Mr. Di, and then shook her head slightly: “The three children were born from early June to June 3, and they are just over two months old, so they have not been named yet.”

“Very well! This child has an extraordinary appearance and temperament, and the name Jiajun is just right for him.”

After carefully observing Little for a while, Young Master Di decided on the name.

Di Jiajun?

Regardless of whether the name was good or not, now that His Majesty had spoken, it was naturally impossible to change it. Di Yelei, Liu Sisi and others hurriedly knelt down to express their gratitude.
