A short night is hard to please! A stunningly handsome prince dotes on her exclusively.

half an hour...

Four adults and a child were sitting at the table, but the child was nestled in Xin Moyan's arms, his hands tightly wrapped around her neck.

Xin Moyan gently patted his back to coax him, but she couldn't calm him down no matter what she did.

Hua Buyu sat beside her, making funny faces at Lou Xiaobao from time to time, making him laugh out loud.

After countless attempts to compose himself, Lou Shenghan finally spoke up helplessly, "Lou Xiaobao, can you let go? Look at how you've strangled the princess!"

Xin Moyan is one thing, but the main thing is that her brother's face is so dark. He doesn't want to be impeached by some generals at court tomorrow morning. After all, he and the emperor are cousins, and the emperor trusts Xin Moling too much.

Lou Xiaobao shook his head when he heard his father's words, and took a bite of the pastry that Hua Buyu handed him.

"Lou Shenghan, didn't you praise your son for being sensible and well-behaved three years ago? How come you're acting like such a scoundrel now?"

"Alas, General Xin, you may not know this, but my son is good in every way, except for one thing: he loves to call young women his mother. Perhaps it's because he saw that the princess is exceptionally beautiful that he's so stubborn about it!"

Xin Moling snorted coldly, and continued, "My child is only three years old, yet he already knows how to love beautiful things. If he grows up, what kind of behavior will he have?"

“Xin Moling, I don’t like hearing what you’re saying. What’s wrong with liking beautiful things? If you express your thoughts openly and honestly and don’t do anything petty, then that’s fine, isn’t it? Besides, Xiao Bao is only three years old. You don’t have to make it sound like he’s bound to become a lecherous playboy in the future.”

"As the old saying goes, you can tell what a person will be like at three years old. But people also say, if you raise a child but don't teach him, it's the father's fault. Your son is only three years old, yet he is so stubborn. I've also heard that Prime Minister Lou has a lot of beautiful wives and concubines. Under such influence, your son will surely have the same style as Prime Minister Lou in the future."

"Bah! Xin Moling, don't slander me. When have I ever had a harem of beautiful wives and concubines? You didn't see it. Besides, a few days ago, I drove all the women from the back courtyard of the mansion out of the mansion. Now, apart from maids and servants, there is not a single woman in the Prime Minister's mansion."

"Therefore, you should admit that Lou Xiaobao's casual recognition of young women as his mother today is all a result of your usual flirtatious behavior in the manor."

"Xiao Bao is three years old, it's normal for him to need his mother's care, how can you say he's imitating my philandering ways? Where am I philandering? Xin Moling, don't think that just because I can't beat you, you can frame me at will. Believe me or not, tomorrow I'll join forces with the senior officials in the court to impeach you?"

"If Prime Minister Lou is not a womanizer, then take the child back to his residence and teach him properly, guiding Lou Xiaobao's words and deeds correctly."

"Xin Moling, you, you, you..."

The two kept talking back and forth, leaving Xin Moyan and Hua Buyu stunned. What were they arguing about?

"Okay!"

Hua Buyu suddenly stood up and roared, instantly silencing the crowd.

"Look at you two, a prime minister and a general, arguing endlessly over such trivial matters. If word gets out, the officials in the court will laugh at you. Besides, little Lou is only three years old. What do you mean by 'you can tell what a person will be like at three'? That's utter nonsense!"

"Furthermore, you are a great prime minister! As a father, you should prioritize your child's healthy growth. You shouldn't just be indulging in your own pleasures all day long. Xiao Bao is adorable. Since he readily recognizes mothers, he probably doesn't have a mother's love around him. If you can't give him a mother, then you should love and care for him even more. You shouldn't be so strict."

Hua Buyu pointed at the two men in front of her, her words firing at them like a machine gun...

For a moment, all three of them looked stunned, none of them knowing how to respond to Hua Buyu's words.

"Mommy~ Baby's thirsty~"

Lou Xiaobao tugged at Xin Moyan's sleeve, his little mouth full of pastry crumbs.

"Come on, Xiao Bao, let's have some water!"

Xin Moyan quickly poured him a glass of water and slowly fed it to him. Then she took Hua Buyu's handkerchief and carefully wiped Lou Xiaobao's mouth.

He opened his big eyes wide, looked at Xin Moyan excitedly, and said cutely, "Mommy is so good~"

Hua Buyu reached out and pinched his little cheek, saying without missing the chance to stir things up, "Little Lou, since you like Yan Yan, you can be Yan Yan's son in the future, and I'll take you to play with him then!"

"Good! Good!"

Lou Xiaobao clapped his hands happily upon hearing this.

"Flowers do not speak!"

Xin Moling glared at her angrily. He now seriously suspected that this woman was deliberately getting close to Yan'er in order to ruin her reputation.

"I'm not deaf, no need to shout so loudly. If Xiaolou baby were to recognize me as his mother, I would definitely be happy. It would be wonderful to have such an adorable son for free!"

Lou Shenghan's eyelids twitched repeatedly. This woman's words and actions were not those of an ordinary person. If Xiaobao recognized this woman as his mother, he would probably have an even bigger headache.

"Alright! Stop arguing. It's a rare and beautiful night, let's not keep arguing. Xin Moling, didn't you just have someone reserve seats on the boat? Yan Yan, let's take Xiao Lou Bao Bao for a walk!"

"elder brother?"

Xin Moyan turned to the side and looked at her brother curiously, even though her brother's expression didn't look good.

Upon hearing her voice, Xin Moling's expression softened considerably, and she continued, "Brother has already ordered preparations to be made. Brother will now take Yan'er to the boat to enjoy the scenery."

After saying that, he turned his head and said to Lou Shenghan in a low voice, "Prime Minister Lou, this general wishes to take my sister on a boat trip, so I will not accompany you. Please take good care of the child in the future."

Want to go on a boat trip?

Lou Shenghan suddenly remembered that Yuan Huailie had just sent someone to invite him to a small gathering on the ship. Then what about this Princess Danhua…?

An idea came to him, and he quickly said with a smile, "They say that meeting is fate. Tonight, I am out for a stroll with my son and we happen to meet the General and the Princess. The lanterns and lake scenery are a rare sight, why don't we go and enjoy them together?"

"..."

Xin Moling was speechless. He had already said the words, but Lou Shenghan was still so shameless. He truly deserved to be called the most shameless person in Yuanqi!

Xin Moyan was also puzzled by Lou Shenghan's words. Cailian had previously said that the Prime Minister's sharp tongue was second to none in Yuanqi Kingdom. She didn't know how her relationship with her brother was before, but because she always wore heavy makeup and followed closely behind Prince Lie, Lou Shenghan inevitably saw her often. He loathed her and even made sarcastic remarks, making the original owner afraid of him. Why was he so enthusiastic tonight?

"Mommy, play! Mommy, play!"

"Little Lou, how about your sister and mother take you to play on the boat?"

"Mmmmmmm!"

Even if Xin Moling disagreed, there was nothing she could do, because Hua Buyu had already pulled Xin Moyan by the hand and quickly walked to the shore, and Lou Xiaobao was also clinging tightly to Xin Moyan, and no one could pull him off.

Seeing this, Xin Moling had no choice but to give up and let Lou Shenghan and his son board the ship with them...
