Su Yixing’s small eyes were bright, and he appeared excited. Unable to hold it in his tiny hands, he reached out to touch the Luminous Pearl in An Jing’s hand, visibly fond of it.
As for his little mouth, he was saying in a milky voice, "Grandpa has several... Grandpa said he could give... give Star one to play with..."
Hearing Su Yixing say this, An Jing could only look helplessly at Xiao Changyi, "Husband, my father-in-law spoils the children too much."
Xiao Changyi said indifferently, "Let him be."
Apart from letting the Emperor of Xiyun have his way, what else could be done? An Jing felt helpless yet happy. How could she not be happy with one more person adoring her children? She just feared spoiling them too much, leading to spoiled children.
However, thinking that she and her husband would supervise the four children’s upbringing, she believed the children should not be spoiled.
With this thought, she felt relieved and smiled at the four children, "Grandpa likes you so much, you should also like Grandpa, understand?"
The four children immediately said, "Like Grandpa... Grandpa is fun..."
Although the ’like’ she talked about and the ’like’ in their mouths were different, An Jing still smiled and nodded, looking very content.
The children were still too young to understand profound things, and those things they did not understand now, they would gradually comprehend in the future. There was no need to rush them to understand these things now.
At this moment, Eunuch Fu bowed and stepped forward.
"Prince, Princess, the Emperor invites you to have breakfast."
"Mm," An Jing responded, indicating she understood. Then, An Jing asked, "Eunuch Fu, did the imperial father sleep well last night? My four children didn’t disturb the imperial father, did they?"
She had just asked the four children, but unfortunately, they could only repeatedly say how fun the Emperor of Xiyun was, completely unaware of how to answer whether the Emperor had slept well.
Eunuch Fu smiled respectfully, "To answer the Princess, the Emperor slept very well last night. The Little Prince, the Second Young Master, the Third Young Master, and the Fourth Young Master were all very well-behaved. After playing with them for a while, he went to sleep peacefully with the Emperor, and they didn’t disturb the Emperor at all."
"That’s good then," An Jing was reassured. The Emperor of Xiyun was getting on in years and had been in poor health, and he hadn’t slept well these past few days. She had been somewhat worried yesterday, fearing her four children would prevent the Emperor from sleeping. Now, hearing Eunuch Fu’s words, she truly felt at ease.
Eunuch Fu hesitated for a moment, then added, "The Emperor hasn’t been as happy as he was last night for a long time. If it hadn’t been for the Emperor feeling unwell the day before yesterday, he would have already left the palace to visit you, Prince and Princess."
The implications of Eunuch Fu’s words were quite clear, informing An Jing and Xiao Changyi that the Emperor of Xiyun deeply cared for them.
How could An Jing ever blame Eunuch Fu for saying too much? Upon hearing his words, she was touched and smiled, "In the future, my husband and I will often come to the palace to see the imperial father."
Eunuch Fu was delighted and gratefully bowed to An Jing and Xiao Changyi again before turning to return to Jun Palace.
Eunuch Fu was especially loyal to the Emperor of Xiyun and genuinely hoped for the Emperor’s well-being; he was an old figure in the palace, having been noticed by the Emperor of Xiyun for his cleverness not long after entering the palace when the Emperor was still the Crown Prince.
Considering it, Eunuch Fu had been with the Emperor of Xiyun for almost thirty years and could indeed be considered the Emperor’s confidant.
An Jing had long since heard from Xiao Changyi that Eunuch Fu was loyal, and now seeing how grateful Eunuch Fu was for their frequent palace visits and his hope that the Emperor would always be joyful, she couldn’t help but be moved.
