After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

Shangguan Shu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, picked up the eunuch's uniform on the ground, turned his back to the mother and daughter, and put it on.

Zhao Ying pursed her lips to hold back her laughter.

The little guy on the ground breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, "That's great, that's great, now I have grandma to drink..."

"Daddy, Yue'er will definitely remember your kindness in saving me today!"

Shangguan Shu: ...

Shangguan Shu put on his outer robe, turned around abruptly, and spread his hands towards Zhao Ying carelessly, "It's too small, I can't tie it on!"

Zhao Ying's pupils shrank slightly, and then he looked away uncomfortably.

The man in front of me was tall and strong. The eunuch's clothes made him look even more awkward than if he was wearing nothing. He had a feeling of wanting to resist but also wanting to welcome. The strong muscles on his chest were faintly visible, and the pants, wrapped around his body, had a big bulge underneath...

Shangguan Shu raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this.

Zhao Ying snorted coldly, picked up the little guy on the ground, turned around and left, and before leaving, she ordered, "Pick out suitable clothes for Eunuch Shu!"

"Yes!"

Shangguan Shu: ...

【Eunuch Shu? 】

Shangguan Qingyue rolled his eyes and asked, "Mother, who is Eunuch Shu?"

Zhao Ying deliberately raised the volume in an attempt to let some people hear, "Yue'er, from now on your father will work in Guangming Palace, just like Chief Steward Wu, so call him Eunuch Shu, do you understand?"

"But don't call your daddy like that!"

Shangguan Qingyue didn't listen to the second half of Zhao Ying's instructions. He just thought that his father was the same as Wu Zongguan. His eyebrows were twisted, puzzled. [But wasn't Wu Zongguan castrated? Was my father castrated too? ]

【That’s great! 】

Shangguan Qingyue said excitedly, "Then can he be Yueer's sister? Yueer wants daddy to be Yueer's sister, but daddy said that he is a man and cannot be Yueer's sister!"

"Pfft..." Zhao Ying couldn't help but laughed.

"Mother, what are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing... I'm happy for you, you're going to have a sister!"

The little fellow hummed heavily, put his arms around Zhao Ying's neck, leaned forward and kissed her sweetly, "Thank you, mother. Yue'er will definitely love her sister well, just like your elder sister loves Yue'er!"

“Hahahahahahahaha…” Zhao Ying laughed so hard that the hens within a hundred miles started laying eggs…

At lunch, all the children went to school, leaving only Zhao Ying and Shangguan Qingyue.

Behind Zhao Ying stood a row of palace servants serving at the banquet. Among them, a tall and strong man was particularly conspicuous. He looked out of place among the group of thin and small eunuchs and palace maids. This man probably also had some feelings, so he lowered his head, looking as if he was disheartened.

The "colleagues" around him probably felt that this person's aura was too oppressive, so they all stayed away from him, as if avoiding the plague.

Suddenly, Zhao Ying coughed lightly, raised her hand nonchalantly, and called out to the person behind her, stretching out her voice, "Xiao Shuzi, serve me some food..."

Shangguan Shu took a deep breath, smiled helplessly, stepped forward, and said with gritted teeth, "What would you like to eat, Your Highness?"

Zhao Ying couldn't help but cover her lips and chuckled when she heard the voice, and then called Fuchun over, "Fuchun, why does this new eunuch have such a rough voice? Could it be that he wasn't castrated properly..."

"Zhao Ying, that's enough!"

Shangguan Shu interrupted unbearably.

Zhao Ying slammed the chopsticks on the table, her beautiful eyes confronting Shangguan Shu. After a while, she glanced at Shangguan Qingyue beside her and said to Shangguan Shu, "Wean her off!"

Shangguan Shu narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

Shangguan Qingyue, who was standing by, seemed to sense the danger. He quickly put down his spoon, picked up the milk can with both hands and started to drink it up. [Wow… This is too scary (slurp slurp), I need to store enough milk in advance (slurp slurp), otherwise I won’t be able to drink it (slurp slurp)…]

Shangguan Shu compromised again, coughed heavily a few times, and then asked with his throat pinched, "Your Highness? Which one..."

Zhao Ying smiled brightly, "Come on, everyone."

Shangguan Shu was patient enough, and Wen Chen said, "Okay..."

After the dishes were laid out, Zhao Ying ordered, "You all can go down, and only Xiao Shuzi will be left to serve."

"Here..."

After everyone left, Zhao Ying raised her chin, pointed at a bowl of soup on the table, and said softly to Shangguan Shu, "Drink it, and your injury will heal faster..."

Shangguan Shu was stunned when he heard this, and then the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously.

He knew that Ying'er still had him in her heart!

Shangguan Shu drank the soup without saying a word, and then looked at Zhao Ying sweetly. Zhao Ying lowered her eyes and smiled faintly.

In the afternoon, Shangguan Qingyue took a nap, and Zhao Ying took Shangguan Shu for a walk in the Imperial Garden. "Xiao Shuzi, take down the bird's nest on the tree for me!"

Shangguan Shu was surprised, "Why are you taking out the bird's nest?"

"What do you care about me?"

Shangguan Shu had no choice but to turn over and fly up. Fortunately, he knew Qinggong, so he didn't have to crawl. Shangguan Shu pulled down the bird's nest and handed it to Zhao Ying. There were a few eggs in it. Zhao Ying took out a bird's egg and said to Shangguan Shu, "Okay, put it back!"

Shangguan Shu: ...

Shangguan Shu couldn't believe his ears for a moment.

He looked at Zhao Ying in disbelief. Bird eggs? After all this trouble, she was just trying to steal a bird egg!

Shangguan Shu was so angry that he laughed. He turned around holding the bird's nest and said, "You should have told me earlier if you wanted the eggs..."

Zhao Ying remained silent.

The bird's nest was put back and the two continued their stroll.

Shangguan Shu was very happy. Although the outfit didn't match well with him, it was really nice to be able to take a walk like this with Zhao Ying.

Suddenly, Zhao Ying gently weighed the newly stolen bird eggs in her jade hands and whispered, "That bird's nest was from a black-billed falcon that was a tribute from foreign countries when I was a child. My father gave this falcon to me and I have kept it in the imperial garden. Over the years, it has given birth to many generations."

Shangguan Shu listened carefully with a gentle look in his eyes. He liked Zhao Ying talking to him.

"The red kestrel is extremely ferocious. Its sharp beak can peck people very painfully. I was pecked by it once when I was a child. I cried because of it. It also bears grudges. If anyone offends it, it will chase you and peck you until you die!"

Shangguan Shu replied, "Yes, this kind of falcon has a strong temperament... Ying'er, what's wrong?"

Zhao Ying suddenly stopped and looked at Shangguan Shu without blinking. Shangguan Shu was puzzled.

However, the next second, Zhao Ying pursed her lips and smiled slyly, raised the bird egg, and threw it towards Shangguan Shu. With a slight click, the bird egg shattered on Shangguan Shu's chest...

Shangguan Shu looked at his chest, but before he could react, his eyes blurred and something flapped its wings and flew towards him. He looked up and saw two half-human-sized red kestrels swooping down on him aggressively...

Hey!

Shangguan Shu understood suddenly. He raised his arm to block the falcon's attack and looked towards Zhao Ying. Where was the person?

Zhao Ying ran away with her skirt lifted up, leaving behind an afterimage...

Shangguan Shu: ...

After a cup of tea, we arrived at the Hall of Light.

All the doors and windows were sealed.

From time to time, there was the sound of bird beaks hitting the doors and windows, and the window paper was poked through.

Zhao Ying looked at the disheveled Shangguan Shu and laughed so hard that she fell backwards.

Shangguan Shu panted heavily, stared at Zhao Ying, helpless, and sneered angrily.

Is this Zhao Ying?

Is this his gentle, virtuous, dignified and decent wife?

No wonder the kids... No wonder...
