Harem Daily Life

How could Mu Yu let the pet he gave to the Queen Mother be eaten? He carefully picked up the parrot and said, "You misunderstood. Xiaobao doesn't want to eat you. Come on, I'll take you to wash."

Mu Yu took the frightened parrot away. Not long after, He Yunuo and He Xiaoliu came over after washing their hands and changing into clean clothes.

"Grandmother, would you like some roasted parrot?"

The parrot that had just been cleaned: "..."

What's wrong with the world? Can we show our adorable flat-haired animals a little more love?

It hid its head under its wings, and its frightened little heart needed time to soothe.

The Queen Mother touched He Yunuo's chubby face, and then touched He Xiaobao's head: "You can't eat parrots, but you can eat roast duck." She had just asked the kitchen to prepare a roast duck for the children at noon.

The parrot, no longer alarmed, poked its head out and looked at He Yunuo seriously: "Friend, you can't eat it."

He Yunuo coughed lightly: "Hey, I thought it was another parrot... Hehe, little parrot, did you take a bath? Go to the corridor to dry it quickly, your fur will catch a cold if it's wet."

He Yunuo took the parrot from Mu Yu's hand very considerately, took it to the corridor himself, and put it down in a sunny but not too glaring place.

The parrot spread its wings and trotted back and forth to dry itself off.

He Yunuo swallowed and felt a little regretful.

I'm afraid I'll never be able to taste parrot food again in my lifetime.

By lunchtime, He Xiaobao's laundry had all been washed and hung out. The Empress had always taught these children to do as much as they could themselves, and not to delegate tasks to others. So, they all took on small tasks like washing clothes, sweeping the floor, and folding clothes, which they found acceptable.

Today, two large roast ducks were added to the table. He Yucheng took the lead and placed a duck leg in the Empress Dowager's bowl. He Yunuo also obediently placed one in Mu Yu's bowl. The brother and sister picked up the remaining two duck legs and placed them in He Xiaobao and He Xiaoliu's bowls respectively.

Looking at the twins, a boy and a girl who respected the elders and loved the young, the Queen Mother took a wing and gave it to Yu Cheng: "Spread your wings and fly high, your future is bright." She then took another wing and gave it to Nuo: "Soar across the sky and dance freely."

The two little ones thanked him in unison and started eating obediently.

When they were almost done eating, the Queen Mother said, "Jin'an and his men have returned to the capital in triumph for several days. He will come tomorrow."

When they heard that the second prince was coming, the little ones were very happy and ate an extra bowl of rice.

Early the next morning, several children got up early to prepare to welcome He Jinan. The carriage leaving the palace should have arrived before noon, but everyone missed the meal and saw the second prince arriving late.

"You've been waiting for a long time, right?" He Jinan felt a little embarrassed. He went forward and hugged He Xiaobao, then hugged He Xiaoliu, and touched the heads of He Yucheng and He Yunuo.

"It's not too long. Did my second brother leave the city late?" Yu Cheng asked.

He Jinan followed them inside and explained, "I left early and wanted to buy you some snacks, so I was delayed for a while. I was stopped at the city gate. For some reason, there were too many people leaving the city today, and the queue alone took a long time."

Yu Cheng frowned: "Are they going out of the city to Fuyan Temple?" The temple is very popular nowadays, and many families will rush to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha during the holidays, and the whole family will go out.

He Jinan shook his head and took the children in to pay their respects to their grandmother and grandfather.

As soon as the Queen Mother saw him, her eyes turned red and she quickly waved him over, feeling very distressed.

"You've become thinner and darker. It must have been very hard for you in the past six months?" The swords and knives on the battlefield are merciless, and this grandson has really suffered.

He Jinan shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry, Grandmother, with General Gu taking care of me, I won't suffer. Besides, my eldest brother-in-law always leads the charge, never letting me get into danger."

The Queen Mother was relieved. Speaking of Mo Xingzhou, she couldn't help but ask if he was okay.

He Jinan remembered Mo Xingzhou's silly look yesterday and couldn't help but tell a few people what happened yesterday, making everyone laugh.

"That kid is straightforward, but sometimes he's quite funny."

"My brother-in-law is so stupid. The first time I saw my elder sister's belly bulging, I knew there must be a baby inside, because my elder sister's belly is exactly the same as the one when my mother was carrying Xiaoliu." He Xiaobao said with his head tilted.

He Yunuo glanced at him and said, "I know that too, because you were like that when you were in my mother's womb."

He Xiaobao frowned: "So many babies came out of the Queen Mother's belly..."

What a great belly.

He couldn't help but look at the little parrot's clone, thoughtfully.

Should I pinch a tiny baby parrot and put it into the fat parrot's belly?

In this way, the parrot father, parrot mother, and parrot baby are all together, and their family is complete.

After lunch, while everyone was taking a nap, He Xiaobao went to the yard, mixed some mud with water, and toyed with it with his chubby little hands until he made a parrot the size of a finger. The fat parrot was already formed, its belly dragging on the ground, and the baby couldn't fit in it. He thought for a long time and finally came up with a brilliant idea.

The parrot didn't know what sin it had committed. It wanted to take a nap with the Queen Mother, but was pulled over by He Xiaobao and a cloth strip was tied to its belly to make a... clay sculpture of a little clone?

"It's very heavy, big brother. The little parrot can't fly anymore!" The parrot protested with its eyes wide open, looking very unhappy.

He Xiaobao stroked its feathers and said, "Don't worry, I'm not going to ask you to carry it around with you every day. Once it's been pregnant for ten months and is born safely, you'll be free."

The parrot looked down at the little clone in his arms.

"It has been born, and I want to be free."

He Xiaobao paused, frowned, and said, "Pregnancy lasts ten months, it's ten months, how can it go so fast? You've just been tied up, don't be so anxious, I'll help you deliver the baby when the due date comes. Don't worry!"

Parrot:"……"

What a hard life!

"But I'm a male parrot, why should I be pregnant?"

The little parrot complained that it had to endure what it shouldn't have to endure.

He Xiaobao glanced at it unhappily. "Father said all along that he was willing to endure the pain of pregnancy for Mother. You're obsessed with my father's heroic image all day long, always talking about saving the emperor. How come you've only learned my father's jargon and not the love and care he showed my mother?"

"I just asked you to bear a baby for the little fat parrot, and you look so wronged. Do you still want this family?"

The little parrot opened its mouth after being scolded: "But..."

"Don't say but! You need to rest more when you're pregnant. Come on, I'll take you to take a nap."

The little parrot, which was tied with a heavy object and couldn't fly, was held in He Xiaobao's arms. It lay on its side with difficulty during its nap, and was completely unable to sleep.

The sound of He Xiaobao's even breathing slowly reached his ears. The little parrot opened its round eyes and raised its legs. The pressure of its so-called "son" on its chest made it difficult for it to breathe. It was indeed like a stone pressing on its heart...

Woo, this damn sweet burden finally made it taste good.
