Chapter 157 (Extra:3)
Finally, the debate over Little Xia Tian’s appearance ended.
Since then, Wen Chi has tried his best to pay attention to his words and deeds, but despite this, that incident still stuck in Shi Ye’s heart like a thorn.
Although Shi Ye didn’t say anything on the surface, he secretly studied a lot of books on raising children and parenting. After finding nothing, he simply called Prince Qi, who had long been a father, to learn from him.
Even though Prince Qi was a few years younger than Shi Ye,but as early as sixteen or seventeen years old he had already gotten married under the arrangement of the late emperor. Now Prince Qi has a wife, three concubines, several maids who accompany him in bed and heirs.
Once at a family banquet, Shi Ye had seen the group of children that Prince Qi had brought with him.
Seven or eight children gathered together in a group, chattering and making constant noise, which also made his ears ache and left him with no good impression of the child. Apart from disgust, being disgusted he had an aversion to children.
At that time, he even sympathized with Prince Qi – with so many children, he couldn’t find any peace at home.
But looking back now, Shi Ye actually began to envy Prince Qi for the first time.
Not to mention that all of his kids are healthy but they can laugh, cry, run and jump and they would pester Prince Qi to the point where he was so upset that he couldn’t get rid of them as if he was like a little piece of sticky candy.
It would be great if his little Xia Tian could be as healthy as them.
Unfortunately, little Xia Tian’s health is weak and he was barely awake for most of the day. Not only does little Xia Tian drink milk like a little bird but he also doesn’t cry or make a fuss.
Originally, he named his child little Xia Tian1Summer because he hoped that the child would be as enthusiastic and always full of energy as the summer, but it backfired…
When Shi Ye thought about this, he felt a little sour in his heart. He had always been a person who kept his emotions and anger in check, but at this moment his sadness was reflected in his eyes.
When Prince Qi saw this, he was frightened as if he had seen a ghost. He thought he was seeing things so he blinked and found that he was not actually seeing things and for a moment, his heart was extremely complicated.
At the same time, a hint of dark pleasure crept up.
At the family banquet, the Emperor, who was still the crown prince, disliked his children so much. He happily took the children to greet the emperor, who was then the crown prince. But the emperor didn’t even give the children a look at the children and turned around and left, leaving behind the children, who looked at him pitifully, feeling aggrieved and wanted to cry but did not dare to cry.
Your Majesty ah Your Majesty, you also have a day like this!
Didn’t see it coming did you?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Prince Qi couldn’t help but feel happy but suddenly he caught a glimpse of the cold eyes the emperor had cast on him. His mouth froze and after he reacted, he quickly changed to a solemn expression and said: “Your Majesty, just because my royal nephew is naturally weak doesn’t mean he will always be like this in the future. My second child was also born prematurely and many people said he might not live for five or six days. Look, isn’t he alive and kicking now?”
Speaking of Prince Qi’s second child, Shi Ye was somewhat impressed.
The child was the eldest son of Prince Qi. When he was born, even the late emperor visited him in person. Later, he was indeed as lively as Prince Qi said. However, it was obvious to all that the child was in poor health and he would be out of breath if he got even a little bit tired.
However, the child’s ability to survive impressed Shi Ye and he immediately became interested and asked: “Is the child taken care of by his mother?”
Seeing that Shi Ye wasn;t bothered about what happened just now, Prince Qi couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief and raised his hand to wipe away the beads of cold sweat on his forehead. But soon, he was stumped by the next question.
He has many children and he has always only sown seeds2T/N -lol the guy just does the deed and the rest is up to his wife and concubines. without raising children. How does he know who is taking care of his second son? It might be his wife, it might be the wet nurse, it might be the servants.
“This…” Prince Qi thought for a while and said awkwardly, “I’m not sure.”
Unexpectedly, when Shi Ye heard this, he suddenly made a long face and said, “You are also a father after all, how can you ignore your own child?”
Prince Qi was extremely aggrieved. It was not just a matter of a day or two for him to ignore his children. Moreover, the emperor had long known that he had this kind of character3T/N – that Prince Qi is a playboy??. He had not mentioned it before but now he wants to talk about it with him.
“I’m usually too busy, so I always worry about one thing and not the other.” Prince Qi touched his nose and whispered, “Besides, there are so many people taking care of them at home. One less person won’t make a big difference.”
Shi Ye looked at Prince Qi coldly.
Prince Qi smiled flatteringly back at him.
Shi Ye was silent for a moment and sighed. He shouldn’t have placed his hopes on Prince Qi. He originally thought that Prince Qi, who had the most children, would have more experience in raising children but he didn’t expect that Prince Qi was no different from his other younger brothers. When he had children, he entrusted them to others to take care of and continued to eat, drink and play on his own.
“That’s all.” Shi Ye said, “You won’t be able to tell me anything, even if I ask you.”
When Prince Qi heard this, he was about to breathe a sigh of relief when Shi Ye turned around and added, “Go back and bring those wet nurse’s from your family to me.”
The expression on Prince Qi’s face that had just relaxed suddenly froze and he spoke in embarrassment: “Your Majesty, the one in my family is about to give birth and the wet nurses should be around him just in case. I’m afraid it wouldn’t be good to send her away suddenly…”
Shi Ye asked: “How many wet nurses do you have in your family?”
Prince Qi thought carefully: “It seems there are around eight wet nurses.”
Shi Ye asked again: “How many people in your family are expecting to give birth?”
Prince Qi answered awkwardly: “Only one person.”
Shi Ye nodded and said generously: “Then leave one wet nurse and send the rest.”
Prince Qi: “…”
He felt like crying. He had searched all over the place for a long time to find those wet nurse’s. They had served him for many years and saved him a lot of effort. He didn’t want to just send them away…
But the emperor had spoken and he couldn’t refuse. Not only could he not refuse, but he also pretended to be nonchalant and said thank you to the emperor for leaving him a wet nurse.
Hai, what’s this all about…
Even though Prince Qi was reluctant, he personally sent the wet nurses to the palace as quickly as possible.

In the afternoon of this day, Wen Chi was lying on a chair to rest while looking at little Xia Tian on the crib, when he heard Ruo Fang’s hurried footsteps.
“Young Master!” Ruo Fang said anxiously, “The emperor is here and there are many people outside. Please go out and take a look.”
Puzzled, Wen Chi walked out and saw that Shi Ye had indeed brought a group of people over. Almost all of them were unfamiliar faces. Only person he was familiar with was Prince Qi, who was walking behind Shi Ye to his right.
When Prince Qi saw Wen Chi, he nodded quickly and said, “Young Master Wen.”
Wen Chi also nodded to him and then looked at the people behind him doubtfully: “This is?”
Without waiting for Prince Qi to answer, Shi Ye said: “There are many wet nurses in his house and it just so happens that he heard that we had searched for a long time but couldn’t find any suitable wet nurse, so he sent some over.”
Prince Qi: “…”
“Really?” Wen Chi said in surprise, “That’s great, Prince Qi is really kind.”
Prince Qi: “…..It’s good that the Emperor and Young Master Wen are happy.”
Wen Chi was very happy and counted the number of wet nurses. Then he called Ruo Fang and Xiao Shuanzi and brought the wet nurses in. He turned to look at Prince Qi and said with a smile: “Prince Qi, would you like to go in and sit down for a cup of tea?”
It happened that Prince Qi had not seen little Xia Tian yet and wanted to go in and take a look at his royal brother’s hard-earned son.
However, before Prince Qi could nod his head, he heard Shi Ye say: “He still has important matters to attend to, so he won’t come in.”
Prince Qi: “…”
Wen Chi let out a regretful sigh but despite some regret, he still smiled at Prince Qi and said, “Then Prince Qi, go and do your work first. Come back when you are free.”
Although that’s what he said, where in the emperor’s harem can people like them come and go as they like?
I’m afraid he won’t be able to see the child until little Xia Tian’s 100-day banquet.
Prince Qi couldn’t help but suspect that the emperor was afraid that he would see little Xia Tian’s fragile appearance, so he abandoned him after using up him.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was true. When he reacted, he noticed that the emperor was looking at him unhappily: “Why aren’t you leaving? Do you want to stay for dinner?”
Prince Qi: “…”
After Prince Qi left, Wen Chi looked at Prince Qi’s back and said, “Doesn’t he look a little unhappy?”
Shi Ye didn’t even look at Prince Qi who was walking away and directly denied Wen Chi’s speculation: “No, he is very happy.”
Before he finished speaking, he had already walked inside, obviously wanting to see little Xia Tian.
Wen Chi followed him dumbfounded: “Be honest, did you bully him?”
Shi Ye slowed down and turned to look at Wen Chi with an innocent look on his face: “Why do you think I bullied him?”
Wen Chi said: “He looks like he’s about to cry.”
Shi Ye said: “That’s because he was born with a crying face, what’s it got to do with me? You can’t blame that on me.”
Wen Chi couldn’t argue with Shi Ye, so he simply changed the subject: “Speaking of which, you took the initiative to ask for those wet nurses from Prince Qi’s Mansion, right?”
“Am I that kind of person?” Shi Ye looked away without blushing and then refused to admit it, “I just mentioned a few words in passing and Prince Qi took the initiative to send them over. I couldn’t refuse, so he accepted them with a smile. ”
Wen Chi didn’t believe Shi Ye’s words. He tilted his head and looked at Shi Ye carefully for a long time and said with amusement: “Aren’t you just that kind of person?”
Shi Ye frowned: “I’m not.”
Wen Chi said: “Yes, you are.”
Shi Ye said: “That’s because you saw it wrong.”
“I can’t be wrong.” Wen Chi paused and suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Shi Ye’s sleeves. He leaned over and deliberately said something in Shi Ye’s ear, “You really haven’t changed at all. You are exactly the same as when you were little.”
As he said that, he suddenly kissed Shi Ye’s earlobe, “But I really like it.”
Shi Ye froze and didn’t move, but in an instant, his cheeks and ears turned red.
When Wen Chi saw this, he laughed loudly and hurried past Shi Ye and walked inside.
But as soon as he reached the door, Shi Ye, who came to his senses later, chased him, hugged him from behind and pretended to bite his ear: “Running away after kissing?”
The warm breath sprayed on the side of Wen Chi’s neck, making his neck itch so much that Wen Chi kept struggling and giggling. He turned his head to the side begging for mercy: “Your Majesty, don’t do this, it’s so itchy, hahahahaha…”
But Shi Ye not only refused to let go, but also deliberately picked up Wen Chi and walked inside.
But before they took two steps, the wet nurse holding little Xia Tian suddenly broke into their line of sight. The wet nurse had heard their voices and then came out to greet them with little Xia Tian in her arms. Who would have expected that they would encounter such an embarrassing scene.
The wet nurse stood there helplessly, neither staying nor leaving.
It wasn’t until Shi Ye released his hand unhappily under Wen Chi’s push that the wet nurse cautiously carried little Xia Tian over.
Wen Chi took little Xia Tian from the wet nurse’s arms. Now he was very proficient in holding little Xia Tian. He pointed little Xia Tian’s head at Shi Ye and said softly: “Look, Father Emperor is coming.”
Shi Ye lowered his eyes to look at the soundly sleeping Little Xia Tian and narrowed his eyes.
He suddenly felt that little Xia Tian was a bit of an eyesore.
T/N – Wet Nurses and nannies are the same.
