Nagato has such a slim waist

Chapter 579: Dragon and Phoenix among men
On the twenty-sixth day of the first lunar month in the second year of Jingning, the day before the prince's full moon, Feng Yun took his wet nurse and attendants to the palace to stay overnight and had a long discussion with Pei Jue.

There will be a grand banquet in the palace tomorrow to celebrate the little prince’s full moon.

The child's name had not yet been decided. The Imperial Astronomical Bureau had picked out some auspicious characters and presented them to Pei Jue, but Pei Jue didn't think any of them looked good.

In his eyes, no name was worthy of his son.

However, it is a tradition to hold a ceremony to give a child a formal name when he is 100 days old, 1 year old, or when he is established, so they are not in a hurry. But it is not right to let others call him "Qilinzi" and "Qilinzi", which Feng Yun finds a bit strange.

"Give it a nickname." Feng Yun looked at the baby in the cradle.

He is fair and chubby, with delicate features, especially his eyes, which are pitch black, beautiful and deep, so rare no matter how you look at them.

"Yeah." Pei Cong also worried about his nickname.

He lowered his head and stared for a moment, then looked at Feng Yun with a frown.

"You come."

Feng Yun: "..."

We should be cautious about our full name, but is a nickname necessary?

Pei Cong loves this child so much...

A bit out of bounds!

She glanced at the man's serious face and asked tentatively:
"Then let's call her Ruibao."

"Rui Bao?" As if he had experienced a fierce struggle between heaven and man, Pei Cong hesitated for a long time before nodding.

"Auspicious treasure. Accurate."

Feng Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

Before today, she had already advised against it three times.

Pei Jue was simply dissatisfied and hesitant, which was totally unlike his usual decisive character.

She couldn't help laughing.

"Then it's settled. No matter what the name is, it's still our child, right, Ruibao? Your father is too nervous and weird."

Pei Ze: "A name represents a person's life, so you should think about it carefully."

Feng Yun looked at him and smiled, "So you are so rampant and everyone is afraid of you, is it because of your father's name?"

Pei Jue found that her words were becoming more and more cunning. How could she be afraid of him?
"You're not afraid of me."

Feng Yun glanced at him and asked, "Do you expect me to be afraid of you?"

Pei Heong laughed softly, "You are my ancestor, how dare I?"

"Don't talk nonsense..." Feng Yun snorted, "If word gets out, I don't know what kind of evil woman will be portrayed as to bring disaster to the country."

"No, no, no." Pei Cong gently held Ruibao's little hand, reluctant to let go.

The little prince had just been brought to him by his wet nurse, and was sleeping comfortably in his cradle. He seemed to feel his parents were a little noisy, his brows were slightly furrowed, one eye was closed, the other eye slowly opened, his little mouth smacked slightly, he yawned lazily, held his father's fingers tightly, and fell asleep.

Pei Jue was bending over.

When the child held his hand, he froze.

Don't dare to move, don't dare to move at all.

Feng Yun glanced over.

A tall man, known for his murder, bent his back in front of a tiny baby. The emotions revealed in his subconscious were inexplicably heartbreaking...

He has been waiting for this child for too long...

Even worse than Feng Yun.

"Ugh."

Feng Yun "rescued" Pei Jue's fingers from the child's hand and said calmly:

"Your Majesty, don't be too nervous. It's okay now that the child is young, but when he grows up, you will spoil him. You must remember this..."

Pei Cong looked at her and said nothing.

Feng Yun: "What? Did I say something wrong?"

Pei Jue: "Yunniang is right. I will learn."

study?
That's true...

Being a father also requires learning.

Feng Yun slightly curved her lips and gently stroked the child's head. "Our Ruibao is the embodiment of good fortune, so he will grow up safely, right, Ruibao? Tell your father not to worry too much..."

The corner of Pei Jue's lips curled up.

Slowly, he reached out and held Feng Yun in his arms.

Feng Yun looked up and said, "The child is here."

Pei Jue looked at her with complicated eyes, "After so many years, am I still a beast in your eyes?"

Feng Yun: "You haven't changed in all these years."

Pei Jue retracted his arms slightly, lowered his head to kiss her forehead, hugged her gently, and smiled slightly.

The emperor never laughed, but recently the palace servants discovered that the emperor often laughed for no apparent reason, and his laughter made people shiver...

Especially since the Empress moved in, His Majesty was very nervous. Since he left the court yesterday, he has been personally inspecting every part of the palace...

The Queen is afraid of the cold and has just come out of confinement. His Majesty said that she cannot stand the slightest bit of cold, so the floor heating needs to be burned more vigorously, and people should be arranged to watch over her inside and outside to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

The little prince's body was delicate, so he couldn't stand the wind. He had to keep hot water ready for washing. He even touched the diapers himself to see if they were soft and whether they would scratch the prince's delicate little butt...

The palace servants had seen what it meant to be doted on, and they became even more nervous, fearing that any mistake would sacrifice the guy who was having dinner.
-
The next day, there was a full moon banquet in the palace. Wen Xingsui arrived early and brought Puyang Yi with him. Instead of going to Qilin Pavilion, they went to Qianyuan Hall to meet Feng Yun first.

After being married for many years, Wen Xingsu still treats Puyang Yi as well as ever. He has a gentle temperament and stable emotions. He abides by the rules and is a modest gentleman year after year.

However, Puyang Yi's face looked obviously haggard.

Feng Yun made tea for them and asked about their recent situation.

Wen Xingsui looked at Puyang Yi with guilt.

"Recently, I have been busy with military affairs and have been unable to get away. I have rarely been home, and I am sorry that your sister-in-law has been troubled."

Puyang Yi lowered her eyes and smiled faintly.

"Why are you saying this? You are also concerned about the affairs of the court. Official duties are more important. I will understand."

Over the years, she has become more stable.

Wen Xingsu smiled and didn't say much.

Just then, the wet nurse brought the little prince over. He then turned around, picked up the child, and started coaxing him to play.

Uncle loves his nephew.

Wen Xingsu loves little Ruibao very much.

Feng Yun smiled slightly, then sat down and talked some private words with Puyang Yi.

They have known each other for many years. They are sisters-in-law, but in fact they are friends. Feng Yun is one of her few friends.

She saw Puyang Yi's mood and asked with a low smile, "Why are you unhappy? Did you have a quarrel?"

"No." Puyang Yi shook her head helplessly.

"Isn't my elder brother treating you well?" Feng Yun looked at her weak appearance, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm on your side. If he doesn't do well, I'll help you scold him."

Puyang Yi smiled and sighed.

"If he really treated me badly, that would be fine. I would have left him and found someone else long ago. But he treated me...very well."

"Why is that?" Feng Yun asked.

"I can't tell you."

Puyang Yi looked at Feng Yun's puzzled eyes and smiled sadly.

"Maybe I'm just not satisfied."

It was not she who said this, but the voices around her were filled with this voice.

No matter who was around, even her mother, the Grand Princess, thought that her nonsense was because she didn't know how to appreciate the blessings she had, so, slowly, she stopped making trouble and became the kind of virtuous wife that everyone expected...

How could Wen Xingsu treat her badly?

He did not take concubines, was not lustful, and gave all his salary to her without leaving a single penny. He would send people to bring back any food, drinks, or fun things. It can be said that he put her first in everything.

In the past two years, there have been slight changes in Dayong's army.

Because Pei Cong seized power by force and ascended the throne, and he was also a general, after he ascended the throne he consciously restrained military power to prevent one person from dominating the throne. The army of Dayong was also repeatedly integrated.

Except for the original Northern Yong Army's organizational structure which remained unchanged, the Longji, Huben, as well as the surrendered Yecheng Army and the surrendered Chuzhou Army were integrated and reorganized into the Southern Yong Army, the Western Yong Army, and the Eastern Yong Army.

Wen Xingsu was the one who took the lead in this matter from beginning to end.

With Pei Cong's trust and respect, he also broke away from the Beiyong Army and was promoted to the commander-in-chief of all military forces at home and abroad, becoming the most important official of Dayong.

Even Shentu Jiong, Yang Qi and others whom he brought with him from Xinzhou in those days were promoted and reused, and now he holds the seal of commander of Nanyong Army, one of the four armies.

What Pei Cong valued most was, of course, the Beiyong Army.

The predecessor of the Beiyong Army was the Pei Family Army, so the generals of the Beiyong Army were mainly former members of the Pei family.

Helian Qian was in charge of the army, and Ao Qi had grown rapidly in recent years. He was given the title of General Anping and was appointed as the deputy commander of the Beiyong Army...

Not to mention their respective promotions, Wen Xingsu, the military commander, attracted a lot of opposition in the court because he was from Qi.

Fortunately, Pei Cong has absolute control over the court of Dayong.

With him standing firm against all odds, even if someone doubted it, they would not dare to oppose it openly...

In this case, Wen Xingsu naturally has to prove himself and achieve some results.

Among the four armies, the Nanyong Army is the most difficult to control.

Most of the members of this team were former members of the Yecheng Army, as well as some surrendered bandits, incorporated fortress troops, and local warlords.

Everyone has their own temper, and they are the most difficult to manage.

Over the past year, Wen Xingsu has lived in the camp most of the time, using his spare energy to reform the Nanyong Army. He has been so busy that he can hardly be seen...

However, even though he seldom went home, he still showed great concern for Puyang Yi, writing her many letters to ask about her well-being, and sending people to bring her some local delicacies from time to time...

Puyang Yi felt that she really shouldn't have any dissatisfaction with a husband who did this.

Otherwise, it means you are ignorant.

But she could deceive others, but not herself...

That kind of repressed and anxious emotion would always pop up from time to time, making her suffer.

I love him so much, but I can't touch him.

He was clearly smiling, but it seemed like I couldn't get into his heart.

Even though we hug each other, our hearts are always far away.

But she is the only one in the world who knows this feeling.

If you tell it to others, they won’t be able to appreciate or understand it.

"Sister-in-law, you have lost a lot of weight..." Feng Yun searched for Puyang Yi in her memory. She saw her smiling and carefree face. The sudden change made her feel distressed.

"If you have any dissatisfaction, speak it out, don't keep it in your heart."

"No." Puyang Yi denied again, her eyes lowered, her face looked calm, only her trembling eyelashes revealed a little uneasiness.

Under Feng Yun's sharp gaze, he smiled awkwardly for a long while.

"Maybe it's because I've been married for many years and have no children, my heart has become bad."

Feng Yun was touched.

Although she never cared about having children, she had been infertile for many years and had suffered countless criticisms and insults...

She understands this very well.

Being scolded is always uncomfortable.

She clearly felt the difference between before and after Ruibao was born...

There is more kindness from outsiders.

The most incredible thing is that those stubborn old ministers in the court now become kind-hearted when they see her...

These were all brought to her by her son.

The facts were before her eyes, and she couldn't go against her conscience and persuade Puyang Yi not to care...

"Have you seen a doctor?" Feng Yun asked.

Puyang Yi looked up at her and gave an awkward smile.

"I've seen it. I've invited the imperial physician, I've also found folk doctors. My mother has become obsessed with it. Whenever she hears someone mention a folk remedy, she'll try every means to get it for me to try. Unfortunately, it didn't work..."

She shook her head and smiled bitterly.

"Especially in the past two years, we've been apart for so long. Where can I go to give birth to a child by myself?"

Feng Yun frowned slightly, "What about my elder brother? Is there any problem?"

Puyang Yi was stunned for a moment.

Having children is a woman's job, this is an established rule. If a woman has not given birth to a child for a long time, it must be the woman's fault. Puyang Yi has never thought that there would be any problems with Wen Xingsu, and she has no such awareness at all.

"He is...strong and healthy, nothing will happen to him, right?"

Feng Yun smiled and said, "As a younger sister, I shouldn't talk too much. But sister-in-law, having a child is a matter for two people. If you can't have a child, it's not just your fault. If there is a chance, find a way to let my elder brother see a doctor..."

Puyang Yi: "Isn't this... bad?"

For a man, it's humiliating.

How could she open her mouth?
As soon as you open your mouth, it seems like you are shirking responsibility.

What's more, can doctors really tell what's wrong with men?
Feng Yun was not very sure about this, and was even more unwilling to believe that Wen Xingsu would have fertility problems.

But as a woman, she has to be fair and speak for women.

"There's nothing wrong with it. Talk to him first, then find a doctor you know well. Keep your mouth shut and avoid people. Others won't be able to say anything."

Before Puyang Yi had time to think, Wen Xingsuo came back holding Ruibao.

The two looked at each other and shut up tacitly.

Wen Xingsui bent down and placed Ruibao on the small bed, then looked up and smiled.

"Raybao looks like her mother."

Hearing this, Feng Yun also had a gentle smile on her lips.

"Really? They all say he looks like his father, but I still refuse to accept that."

Puyang Yi leaned over, looked at him carefully, and said with a smile: "I think he looks like both his father and his mother. He has his father's handsomeness and his mother's beauty. The little prince will surely be a rare talent in the future."

The little prince is of course a rare talent...

Wen Xingsu chuckled softly, "Madam is still good at talking."

Puyang Yi looked up at him and said, "General, you are always exaggerating."

The couple were talking and laughing, and you could tell at a glance that they had a very good relationship.

Feng Yun's heart finally settled down, and she felt relieved, with a smile on her face.

Now that Ruibao was awake, everyone came to tease him.

"Ruibao calls me uncle and aunt..."

The little prince pulled the corners of his mouth and actually smiled.

The smile of a baby who has just turned one month old is clear and innocent, as pure as the first rays of morning light, and it seems to dispel all the haze in people's hearts in an instant.

Wen Xingsu's eyes were full of tenderness.

Puyang Yi looked at him.

Seeing the way he looked at Ruibao, my heart ached slightly.

How great it would be if she could give birth to a child for him, even a daughter.

He would definitely look even more doting and delighted than he does now, right?

The ending was longer than I thought...

I will edit and post as I go, and you guys can read it slowly...
