While Lin Yanran was whipping Le An, she reached out and covered the ears of the little one in her arms, and then she watched the child stare intently at Le An whipping and laughing.

I was dancing around the whole time, not scared at all.

After Le'an finished whipping, Lin Yanran released her hand from the little one's chest and gently poked the little one's face with her fingertips:

"Do you know your grandmother is angry? And yet you're laughing so happily."

Seeing this, Chu Yunxuan couldn't help but praise, "This child has a good temperament, is not shy, and will let anyone hold him."

Seeing how adorable the child was, Le'an reluctantly put away the whip and handed it to the servant behind her.

She reached out and took the baby from Lin Yanran's arms. "Is this baby a boy or a girl? How old is he/she? What's his/her name? Will it be the two of us taking care of him/her from now on?"

To be honest, the child is really cute, but she really doesn't want to take care of the child.

After marrying Chu Yunxuan, she first took care of Chu Shihui for two years, then the three Wei brothers, and later Zhaozhao, and occasionally Chu Shiwen as well.

Le'an really doesn't want to take care of the child now; the mere thought of it gives her a headache.

Chu Yunxuan slumped in the chair in despair. "It's a boy, over eight months old. I don't know his name. That kid Chu Shifu hasn't written it down in his mind."

The entire letter was about his son's characteristics, who were the people who were sent back, and how he would take him to the morning court tomorrow to see if the emperor would bestow a name upon him.

As for who will take care of him, it will most likely be the two of us. Leaving him in the palace is too dangerous. If anything happens, and that brat Chu Shifu comes back, he'll probably make a scene.

well······"

That final sigh was Chu Yunxuan's despair; he didn't want to raise the child either.

Could it be that he worked so hard to train a successor just so he would have time to stay at home and take care of that brat Chu Shifu's child?

Le'an could only hold the child and try to amuse him, "Why is your father so infuriating? Hmm?"

Lin Yanran waited here for Wenzhu and Wenju to come and examine the child. Then she took the others back to her courtyard to rest. She had gotten up too early and was a little sleepy now.

Then, apart from the servants, only Chu Yunxuan, Le An, and the child remained in the entire room.

"I didn't come home last night. I hope you didn't sleep well either. Let Qian Lai and the others take care of the child. Let's catch up on some sleep!"

As for the wet nurse, let's find one from the eldest son's family first! We can't find one we know well in such a short time."

As Chu Yunxuan spoke, he wanted to curse Chu Shifu again for being such a scoundrel, for not writing to the manor beforehand so that they could prepare for it.

If only he had arranged for a few people to deliver messages to Chu Shifu.

Chu Yunxuan reflected on himself and realized that no matter how old the child was, he could not completely let go of him.

Otherwise, you never know when they might cause you a huge mess.

Le'an was at ease letting Qian Lai take care of the child. The people around her husband had taken care of Chu Shifu and his group many times before, so taking care of the child wouldn't be a problem.

Le'an relaxed completely at this moment, and even while holding the child, she kept yawning. So she agreed to Chu Yunxuan's suggestion to let Qian hold the child.

As it turned out, the child seemed to have a special connection with Chu Yunxuan. When Chu Yunxuan was around, he would let anyone hold him. But when Chu Yunxuan was about to leave with Le An, the child suddenly refused and cried his heart out.

Qian Lai quickly caught up with Chu Yunxuan and Le An, carrying the child, his face full of ingratiating smiles, "My lord, my lady, this young master seems to dislike petty people."

Chu Yunxuan took the child and handed him to Qian Duo next to him. The child looked at Chu Yunxuan without crying. But when Chu Yunxuan and Le An were about to leave, he burst into tears.

Seeing this, Le'an refused to believe it and personally stepped forward to take the child and hand him to her confidant. Then she pulled Chu Yunxuan away.

As a result, the child immediately burst into tears, and in no time he was sobbing uncontrollably.

Le'an quickly stepped forward, took the child from his confidant's arms, and placed him directly into Chu Yunxuan's embrace. "Come, come, let your grandfather hold him!"

Chu Yunxuan... This will really affect a lot of things for him.

But he still held the child in his arms. "The child is in my arms for now!"

However, Chu Yunxuan found this child interesting. He pondered for a while, holding the child in one arm and Le'an in the other, and decided to try again tomorrow.

When it was time for dinner, Wei Yize and Wei Yichuan, who were already married, had returned to the Wenxuan Marquis's residence. Of course, Chu Yunheng and Kong Lingyi would not miss such a lively occasion.

The entire manor was bustling with activity all night.

The next day, the ministers saw Wenxuan Marquis in the Golden Palace holding a child in one arm and a folding book in the other. The ministers looked at each other in bewilderment. Although the child looked cute and chubby, it seemed to be against the rules.

All the ministers turned their attention to the censors, who stood ramrod straight. The censor who impeached Princess Yixian last time was probably still eating dirt somewhere!

It's not that they're afraid of sacrifice, but they can't make pointless sacrifices! They can impeach him once things become clear.

So when the Emperor arrived, he immediately saw Chu Yunxuan kneeling before him, holding a child in one arm. He wondered to himself, "Would Marquis Wenxuan really resort to such a self-inflicted injury just to retire early?"

He sat down on the dragon throne, and after telling everyone to rise, he immediately looked at Chu Yunxuan, "Marquis Wenxuan, what is this...?"

"Your Majesty, I have overstepped my bounds. Could you please help me hold him for a while?"

As soon as Chu Yunxuan said this, all the civil and military officials in the hall looked at him in surprise, thinking that this Marquis Wenxuan was either arrogant because he was favored by the emperor or he had gone mad.

The Emperor felt that Chu Yunxuan's suggestion was particularly presumptuous, but in front of all the civil and military officials, he still ordered Eunuch Hong to step forward and take the child.

The Emperor also reached out and held the child, but he still asked, "Marquis Wenxuan, which son of yours gave birth to this child? You cherish him so much that you not only want to hold him during the morning court session, but you also want me to hold him?"

Chu Yunxuan smiled and bowed, replying, "Your Majesty, this is my fourth son, the child of Chu Shifu and Princess Zhaojia. It is only right that Your Majesty holds him."

"What did you say? My daughter's child? How come I don't know about it?" The Emperor looked at the child in his arms, then at Chu Yunxuan, and was very suspicious.

"Your Majesty, I only found out yesterday. I took leave yesterday to go and receive this child." Chu Yunxuan finished speaking and smiled helplessly at the Emperor.

The Emperor... His mind was filled with countless thoughts, but he held the child even more carefully, for this was his first grandchild.

Princess Zhaojia was his first child. And every first child is different.

However, he couldn't ask for more details at this moment, so he gave Chu Yunxuan a look that said "Don't leave later," and then said to the civil and military officials in the hall, "If any of you have something to report, please do so."
