Jiang Nuo opened his black grape-like eyes, tilted his head to look at this unreasonable father, then glanced at the mechanism bird in his father’s hand and nodded coldly.
Sui Heng had long known that this little baby was very clever. Although he couldn’t speak, but he could already understand people’s language. Now, this confirms the fact, and he cannot help but find it rare.
He was undoubtedly born to him, just as beautiful and intelligent as him.
At the same time, His Royal Highness’s vanity was greatly satisfied.
The little troublemaker hasn’t traveled as much as he has eaten salt, so what if he has two faces? He was still tightly controlled by him.
Jiang Nuo reached out his little hand, asking for the mechanism bird.
Sui Heng casually fiddled with the mechanism twice, making little troublemaker hear two bird calls twice. Then, he shamelessly put the thing into his arms and said, “If you behave well tomorrow, Gu will let you play.”
In order to cultivate a father-son relationship as much as possible and make tomorrow’s meeting appear more warm and harmonious, Sui Heng made a hasty last-minute effort. That night, he did not let Jiang Nuo sleep with Emperor Sui anymore but instead carried him back to his own tent.
“You be gentle.”
Watching his restless son grab his grandson in his arms, Emperor Sui was a hundred times uneasy.
“Nuo Nuo’s skin is delicate. Next time you carry him, remember to change into casual clothes, aren’t you afraid of scratching the little one while wearing such heavy armor?”
“These are diapers. Keep it, and remember to change it every other hour. Don’t slack off in the middle of the night.”
“This is a nightgown, you need to change it for him before going to bed… and when you get up in the morning, make sure you remember the order of each garment so you don’t put them on the wrong way.”
Emperor Sui nagged a lot of instructions.
Sui Heng readily agreed, returned to the tent, placed the little one on his big bed, and then dug out a light emerald color nightgown from the box, starting to change the little one.
In order to welcome the little troublemaker back, he added two extra fire pits to his tent. Before long, he broke out in sweat first.
“Behave yourself tonight, and we’ll both have a better day.”
Sui Heng put the nightgown aside first and began to undress the little troublemaker.
Toddlers’ clothes were delicately designed, and many of them had hidden buttons. Sui Heng searched for half a day before finding the first button. Jiang Nuo sat cross-legged on the bed, his face cold and not moving a muscle, allowing Sui Heng to move.
Sui Heng spent almost a quarter of an hour before finally taking off the outermost layer of the small double-layer jacket.
He casually threw it aside and began to take off the inner layer. Jiang Nuo turned his head and looked at the snow-white, small double-layer jacket hanging at the end of the bed, his eyes even colder.
With the experience of the first one, the latter went much smoother. Sui Heng took them off one by one and threw them away, he quickly stripped the little troublemaker naked, leaving only a red-embroidered little belly bib with lotus and fish patterns on.
Watching his small clothes scattered all over the bed, Jiang Nuo’s pupils trembled, and he was already on the verge of holding back tears.
Sui Heng was completely unaware and picked up the nightgown to study. Unlike an adult nightgown, this baby nightgown had no buttons.
There are only two straps, but the two straps are not designed at the waist position and are asymmetrically sewn on the corners of the nightgown. The style of the nightgown is also peculiar, like two large sacks.
Sui Heng wrapped the nightgown around the little troublemaker’s body and studied for a while, but he still couldn’t figure out how to tie the straps. Sui Heng looked up and happened to bump into the little troublemaker’s aggrieved big black eyes.
“Cough.”
Sui Heng cleared his throat, feeling a bit embarrassed, and asked, “Do you know how to do it?”
The little boy looked at him in shock, his expression becoming increasingly aggrieved.
Sui Heng, the Commander of the three armed forces, was determined not to let the little troublemaker look down on him. He pretended to look at it for a while and decided to use the simplest and crudest method possible to hold two ties, wrap them around a few times in front of and behind each other, and tie the little troublemaker tightly like sticky rice dumpling.
Jiang Nuo was like a large green sticky rice dumpling with tears in his eyes, lying inside with his back to Sui Heng.
Sui Heng wrapped the little one in a blanket, then gathered up the scattered clothes on the bed and hung them on the hanger together with his own clothes. He then also lay on the outside and slowly closed his eyes.
They say raising kids is a pain in the ass.
It’s nothing more than that.
Sui Heng thought confidently in his heart.
After getting married, he will take care of the little troublemaker.
The late-night camp of the Sui army was quiet, with only the sound of soldiers kicking and patrolling and the distant sound of noise coming from afar. Although Sui Heng’s sleep was not as orderly as Jiang Yun’s, during the march, even in his sleep, he would maintain a high level of vigilance, almost not undressing his armor, and sleep with a pillow-arm posture until dawn.
That wolf head sword was placed under his pillow.
Within reach.
One big and one small lay quietly, with a clear distinction of everyone minding their own business. In the middle of the night, the green little dumpling lying inside opened his eyes.
Jiang Nuo wanted to pee.
But his unreliable father did not put diapers on him.
The little dumpling tilted his head, his pupils icy cold, surveying Sui Heng, who was lying on the outside with his arms pillowed, as well as Sui Heng’s two long legs that were stuck dominantly on the edge of the bed. He stared for a moment and quietly climbed up slowly.
Sui Heng jammed the bed tightly. After sitting up, the little dumpling climbed to the end of the bed and picked up one of Sui Heng’s long legs, wanting to move it away.
The little one was born with divine power, and he really shook it a bit.
But Sui Heng was even sharper. He immediately opened his eyes, squinted slightly, and looked at the little thing at the end of the bed that was holding one of his legs. He was shocked for a moment, thinking that the little thing was going to be disobedience and took advantage of his sleep and slipped onto the small bed to sleep again.
Sui Heng picked the little thing up and stuffed him back into the blanket, warning, “Lay still, and if you move again, Gu will hit you.”
Jiang Nuo immediately and obediently closed his eyes. Sui Heng smiled with satisfaction, not having time to argue with a little troublemaker. After declaring his authority as a father, he continued to lie down with his arms as pillows.
After a full quarter of an hour, the little dumpling inside opened his eyes again.
First, he opened a slit and made sure that Sui Heng’s two eyes were closed, and his breathing was even and he was already asleep. Then, he opened both eyes and slowly got up again.
The little one was very smart. With his first experience, this time his movements are lighter.
After getting up, he didn’t try to run under the bed anymore. Instead, he stood directly next to Sui Heng and tilted his head to survey his cheap father for a moment. He then lifted his nightgown and peed on the large hem of his cheap father’s robe that had spread on the bed.
The next day, the two sides will have their last grand meeting at the beacon tower to finalize the details of the peace negotiation.
Afterwards, Sui Heng will return to the Sui capital with his troops. To show solemnity, both Crown Princes personally visited the beacon tower.
There was also an important agenda for this peace negotiation: the Sui Empire needs to return Xiao Huangsun to the Jiang Empire.
Although the truth has been found and it was a misunderstanding, it is ultimately impolite for the Sui Empire to have kidnapped their Xiao Huangsun in the Sui camp for so long.
Xiao Jiang Nuo was about to leave the Sui camp and return to the Jiang Empire, but Emperor Sui was very reluctant. Early in the morning, he brought the palace attendants to visit the little one.
If it weren’t for the long distance and the unknown background, he would really want to bring his obedient grandson back to the Sui capital to raise him immediately.
Xiao Junwang, Sui Zhang, also followed behind, twisting and turning for a while. He took out a long red tasseled spear from behind and stuffed it into Jiang Nuo’s hand.
“This is this county king’s gift to you.”
“You-you keep it safely, don’t damage it.”
The palace attendants all know that this is Xiao Junwang’s most precious thing. Xiao Junwang was willing to give it away, showing his love for the Jiang Empire’s Xiao Huangsun.
Emperor Sui was also pleased to see his two grandsons having such a good relationship.
Jiang Yun arrived at the beacon tower early and stood on the abandoned city wall with Fan Zhou to admire the scenery. Before long, Fan Zhou was pleasantly surprised and pointed to the distance, saying, “Your Highness, look, Xiao Huangsun is here.”
Sui Heng personally rode a horse with Jiang Nuo, going at the forefront with a majestic presence.
Probably to prevent the toddler from being blown by the wind, on that horse, there was also a small tent propped up in a racy manner.
The tent was snow-white, and the veil on top fluttered in the wind, creating a very cool atmosphere.
Jiang Nuo is a small child but smart, he already knows that today he is going to meet his other father that he has been longing for for a long time. Therefore, he got up early and cooperated, particularly with Sui Heng.
Sui Heng’s vanity was greatly gratified, and he came to the beacon tower. He flipped over and dismounted from his horse. He lifted the baby off the horse with his cloak. At the conference hall, Jiang Yun was already waiting at the door.
Seeing the small tent in Sui Heng’s hand, he asked, “Where did you get this?”
Sui Heng said, “Gu made it. It’s not only windproof and sand-proof, it’s also earthquake-proof. How’s it?”
Jiang Yun felt it was very rare and asked, “What about the little boy?”
Sui Heng said, “Probably asleep. In the morning, he hugged Gu’s thigh and cried for a while, and he wouldn’t leave Gu’s tent. Gu has never seen such a clingy little troublemaker before.”
Jiang Yun feels it’s even stranger.
“Are you sleeping together?”
He thought that, with Sui Heng’s temperament, he would directly hand over the little boy to the palace attendants or nanny to take care of.
“Naturally. The little troublemaker is shy around strangers, ever since he sneaked into Gu’s tent, he has only been willing to sleep with him. Gu had originally provided him with a small bed, but he refused to stay and always sneaked onto Gu’s big bed in the middle of the night.”
As Sui Heng spoke, he put the tent on the ground and opened the tent door.
Jiang Nuo obediently sat inside with his legs crossed, his eyes dark, and staring at Sui Heng.
Sui Heng gestured with his eyes and said, “Come out quickly, don’t be reluctant to leave Gu.”
The little dumpling obediently and smoothly emerged, crawled out of the small tent, and silently hugged Sui Heng’s thigh.
Sui Heng was satisfied and lifted his head as he was about to talk to Jiang Yun. Suddenly, a sharp pain came from his leg. Sui Heng let out a hiss, but before he could react, the small thing that had been hanging on his leg had already slipped down. He pushed him away and turned to run towards Jiang Yun’s arms.
The little thing was incredibly powerful, as if it had been holding back all the way. Sui Heng was also caught off guard, which caused him to stagger.
On the opposite side, the little dumpling had already run quickly to Jiang Yun’s side and hugged Jiang Yun’s leg tightly, with tearful eyes and tear beans baring down his face.
Jiang Yun wondered and asked, “What’s wrong?”
The little dumpling remained silent, turned his head, gave Sui Heng a cold glance, and then continued to rub against Jiang Yun’s sleeve, shedding tears.
Sui Heng’s face instantly turned black.
This little thing dares to go back on his word and deceive him after promising him before they set off!
“Chirp_”
“Chirp_”
The little one cried for a while, pitifully looking at Jiang Yun, and suddenly uttered two ambiguous syllables in his mouth.
The little one can’t speak yet, he’s obviously imitating some kind of voice.
Jiang Yun thought of something, looked up, and couldn’t believe it. He looked at Sui Heng, “You stole the little boy’s mechanism bird? And you are also threatening him with the mechanism bird?”
Sui Heng’s expression cracked straight away.
