Ludwig was still looking down at the cub, his sight was fixed on the cub's tears falling, so he didn't notice the gaze coming at him from not far away.
"Hold back your tears."
The emperor of the empire, who has always been ruthless in his style of raising children, did not change his style at all when facing such a soft and chubby curly-haired little cub.
The curly-haired little cub was so frightened that he held back his tears, and now he was not allowed to shed any tears. The cub, who had never suffered such an injustice, could no longer hold back his tears.
He tilted his chubby face up and cried out, "I'm going to complain!"
Ludwig: “?”
Ludwig: "Are you going to complain to Cesare?"
Ludwig recognized the curly-haired cub at first sight; he thought it was the cub brought back by his son.
Facing the little kid who wanted to complain, Ludwig narrowed his golden eyes slightly and commented on this behavior: "Cesare can't even protect himself, and you still want to—"
"Ludwig."
Ivy, who originally wanted to see how far her husband had gone, could no longer bear to watch. She put her hands on her waist and pulled out a shining saber.
The saber is made of special material, and even if it is buried in the soil, it will not affect its sharpness in the slightest.
Ivy walked towards them step by step, holding the saber.
Under Ludwig's eyes full of shock, ecstasy, and suspicion, she held the saber with a smile on her beautiful face, but the words she spoke were not very gentle -
"I remember I told you before I died that you must be gentle when taking care of the child."
"Dear Ludwig, have you followed my last wishes carefully?"
Ivy's words completely dispelled the doubt in Ludwig's eyes, and an ecstatic look appeared on his cold and handsome face.
"Ivy."
Ludwig's Adam's apple rolled, and the longing that he had suppressed for so long, which almost swallowed him, burst out at this moment. He wanted to run over and hug his lover.
But the little fat guy sitting on his feet feels very heavy.
The little fat boy was still holding his legs, crying loudly. After crying for a while, he rubbed his wet little face on his legs, as if he was wiping his tears.
After rubbing his little face, he continued crying.
Ludwig had never seen such a delicate child.
"Xiao Lin, take Ningzi away."
Ai Wei turned her head and instructed Huo Lin in a gentle tone: "Mom needs to talk to your dad about something. I will go to see you after we finish talking."
Huo Lin looked at the saber in his mother's hand that she seemed to be playing with, and then looked at his father who was tense all over.
He walked over without changing his expression and picked up the baby who was still secretly rubbing his face.
Ningzai, who was taken away, was not very happy.
He turned his head to look at His Majesty the Emperor and complained to his brother: "Uncle, you are such a vicious boy!"
Huo Lin held him firmly in his arms, and even though one of his legs was inconvenient for him to walk, he did not put him down. He took the baby and quickly left the scene where his parents were talking.
Not surprisingly.
He always punishes his father, and this time he is going to be punished too.
Soon, Huo Lin walked through the garden and carried the baby in his arms to another palace. The imperial palace was very large, but the core palace was not very big.
The palace in front of him is where he and his father live on a daily basis. They can eat and sleep here.
The palace also has a garden with beautiful flowers, but the father and son do not have the artistic talent to appreciate flowers, so the garden is just a decoration to them.
Once back.
Uncle Andre, the butler, came over. Uncle Andre had taken over the position of butler before my father got married.
Huo Lin also grew up under his care.
"Your Highness."
When the little prince came over, Andre noticed that he was walking abnormally: "Let me hold Ningzi for a while. Do you want to wait for Dr. Gene in the hall or in the room?"
Dr. Gene is Huo Lin's personal doctor.
Huo Lin thought about it and replied, "Let's go to the toy room."
Huo Lin himself has no habit of playing with toys. His toys since childhood have been small mechas, warships, vehicles, various weapons, and training equipment specially tailored for him.
However, Huo Lin, who never plays with toys, has a toy room.
He tidied up the toy room himself, and the toys inside were all purchased according to Jane Ning's preferences.
Andre took the little cub with red eyes and nose. He knew this cub. He had heard the phone call between the little prince and this cub.
Jane Ning, who was held in the butler's arms, also introduced herself politely.
He said several of his nicknames, and Andre called them all with a smile. When he called the baby, his face turned red, and he hid in Andre's neck shyly and happily.
Not long after they left, Andre opened the door of the toy room and put the little cub in his arms down.
"elder brother!"
Jian Ning, whose feet touched the carpet, sat down with one butt. He stretched out his chubby feet and said, "Shoes!"
The toy room was covered with carpets, which were very clean. Jane Ning didn't want to step on them with his shoes. His shoes had gotten dirty when he walked just now!
Huo Lin saw him stretching his feet, so he squatted down and took off his shoes.
Jane Ning lowered her head and continued to look at her little socks.
Huo Lin patted his feet and refused: "You can't take off your socks, otherwise you will catch a cold."
He put his shoes on the shoe cabinet near the door and looked back at Andre: "Uncle Andre, Ningzi will stay here for three days."
Andre smiled and said, "Don't worry, little prince. I will buy him new clothes and new shoes, as well as the daily necessities he needs."
Andre himself raised three children, and all three of them are married and have children, and have given him several grandchildren.
Andre has extensive experience in raising children.
It’s a pity that Ludwig never asked him for advice.
Andre did not disturb the two children playing. He left and continued to contact Dr. Gene. After contacting Dr. Gene, he went to the kitchen and asked the kitchen to make some desserts suitable for the cubs.
Andre was doing things outside in an orderly manner.
In the toy room, Jian Ning was holding a furry doll that was bigger than him. He put his face against it and said, "It's so soft!"
Huo Lin watched him turning around, touching this one, hugging that one, and when he got tired of running, he lay down on the ground, his little body spread out like a flattened kitten pancake.
"Brother, I'm hungry."
The little baby, tired from playing, touched his belly and found it was flat.
Huo Lin looked at the hungry kid lying on the ground and said, "I'll have someone prepare a meal for you."
When she heard that she wanted to eat, Jian Ning took advantage of her father's absence and openly begged her brother, "Baby, I want milk!"
Drink a big bottle of milk!
Huo Lin didn't even blink, he said calmly: "Okay, I'll give you another bottle of fresh milk later. Come on, I'll take you to the restaurant to wait for the meal."
Jian Ning: “…”
Jian Ning emphasized: "We need milk powder!"
A baby who has grown up drinking milk powder has become dependent on it. If you want to wean him off it, you will have to spend more effort.
Huo Lin didn't say whether he agreed or not.
He took the shoes from the shoe cabinet and said, "Stretch your feet and kick them."
The two palm-sized small shoes were quickly put on. After Jane Ning put them on, she stepped on the ground, then looked up and said thank you to her brother.
Dad taught me, kid, to be polite!
After putting on their shoes, the two walked out together. After taking a few steps, Huo Lin saw Uncle Andre walking over with a plate and Dr. Gene behind him.
"Uncle Andre, Ningzi is hungry."
"Okay, let's go to the restaurant."
Since he was hungry, it was obviously inappropriate to fill his stomach with snacks. Andre put the plate back and just took out a small piece of cake from the plate and handed it to the little kid who was looking at him eagerly.
"Ningzi, we're going to eat soon, don't eat too much snacks."
"Um!"
Jian Ning held the exquisitely shaped snacks in his two chubby hands and looked at them for a long time before he was willing to eat them. While he was eating the snacks, Huo Lin also sat on the chair and accepted Jin's examination.
Jin opened the medicine box he brought with him and gave Huo Lin another dose of medicine: "Your Highness, your injury is not serious. Rest well today, and you will be able to walk normally tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
After Gene finished applying the medicine and closed the medicine box, he caught a glimpse of a little curly-haired person staring at him while applying the medicine. The little curly-haired person was biting a cake, and the cake crumbs were stuck to the edge of his mouth.
For a person with late-stage obsessive-compulsive disorder, seeing this little bit of dregs makes his hands itchy.
He took out a wet wipe and asked the curly-haired kid who was eating pastries: "Hello, little friend. Do you mind if I wipe your mouth for you?"
Jian Ning understood and said, "Wipe your mouth." He quickly ate all the pastries in his hand, then came over obediently.
The doctor was a little surprised at how obedient and well behaved he was.
He gently wiped the little curly-haired boy's mouth. The little boy, who liked to have his father wipe his mouth, was not unfamiliar with this action.
"Thanks."
After the polite little boy's mouth was wiped, he hurriedly thanked him. After thanking him, he also asked, "Can you wipe my face?"
He felt that his little face was also dirty.
Dr. Gene laughed, "Of course."
Doctor Gene not only wiped his little face, but also wiped his little hands. Finally, Doctor Gene gave him the candy in his pocket.
The little kid's eyes curved with joy when he received the candy.
He waved his little hand and walked Dr. Gene to the door before coming back.
"Brother, it's sugar!"
Jian Ning counted the candies in his hand, picked up the biggest one and handed it to Huo Lin: "Baby, please give me some candy!"
The little boy who was offering candy to Buddha gave one to his brother, and then gave one to the housekeeper. He looked at the candy in his hand and continued to count.
This red candy with the most beautiful packaging is for the most beautiful aunt!
This green and beautiful candy is for dad!
And Uncle Zhanrao, Uncle Lingqi, Uncle Duobi, Sister Huaya...
oops.
Not enough points!
The originally happy little cub's chubby face turned worried when he was sharing the candy. Fortunately, Andre spoke in time: "Ning cub, your meal is ready."
Meals for cubs are easy to prepare, and the kitchen in the palace is already fully prepared, so it didn’t take too long before a delicious custom-made meal for royal cubs was served on the table.
Jian Ning sniffed, and his eyes lit up when he smelled the fragrant aroma.
"Brother, food!"
Huo Lin wasn't very hungry, but after seeing two meals on the table, he still sat over and ate with Jian Ning.
Jian Ning originally still wanted a bottle, but when he saw such delicious food, he didn't care about the bottle at all.
It goes without saying that the chefs in the palace are excellent cooks.
However, after the chefs prepared meals for the Emperor and the little prince, the father and son never commented on the quality of the meals. They ate calmly as if they were doing a job.
I have to say, this can be a bit frustrating for the chef sometimes.
Now.
The quiet dining atmosphere was replaced by liveliness. The little kids, wearing small lunch bags around their necks and holding round spoons in their hands, were very supportive.
“Great times!!!”
The little boy never stopped praising her: "Rou Rou is great, Cai Cai is great too!"
Everything is good!
The little cub who lives with his father on the deserted planet has been eating complementary food made by his father since he started eating complementary food. Between his father's complementary food and milk powder, the little cub obviously firmly chooses the latter.
At the end of the meal, the little guy even called his dad.
The other end of the phone.
Zhan Xi, who had just left the cub, had already started to miss him.
He received a call from his son, and before he could express his bitter feelings, he saw the little son across from him, pointing at the plate in front of him, and said happily in his baby voice: "Dad, look!"
"Cai Cai, it's not black!"
Zhan Xi, who often stir-fries vegetables black: "… "
The little guy pointed at the dishes in surprise. In the end, Zhan Xi was so embarrassed that he almost lost face.
He cleared his throat and forced himself to change the subject: "Okay, okay, Dad gets it. Next time I won't fry your vegetables until they turn black."
As he spoke, he asked what his child had played in the palace.
The father and son didn't talk for too long before Zhan Xi hung up the phone and told him to have a good meal.
After eating and drinking, Jane Ning slumped in the chair and looked at her brother beside her.
Huo Lin: “…”
Huo Lin knew what he wanted to do without him even saying anything.
really.
The next second, Ningzai, who was full, touched his belly and called his brother: "Brother, rub my belly."
Huo Lin walked over and resigned himself to rubbing his belly.
The two cubs were eating, drinking and playing, but Huo Lin did not forget to take them to study.
At night.
Jian Ning, who had played all day and didn't sleep during the day, felt sleepy and sad. When he talked to Zhan Xi on the phone during the day, he didn't show how much he missed his father.
Now it was night time, he had already put on his pajamas and was about to go to bed, when he suddenly became sad.
"I want daddy."
The baby, wearing cow pajamas, sat on the bed with tears in his eyes: "Brother, I want daddy!"
Huo Lin tried to coax her for a long time but it didn't work.
In the end, the little baby who wanted his daddy cried so much that he was tired and fell asleep on the quilt.
Huo Lin watched him fall asleep, bent down to wipe his little face, then hugged him and fell asleep together. The night was silent.
The entire palace seemed to have fallen silent.
The curly-haired kid woke up in the middle of the night and crawled up to sit up. His little face was dazed, and he was obviously confused in his sleep: "Daddy?"
I called several times, but no one answered.
The curly-haired boy rubbed his eyes, picked up the small pillow he was using, and climbed out of bed to look for his father. He was so dazed that he didn't remember that this was the palace, not his home.
The room door was not locked.
Holding the pillow baby, I walked barefoot to the corridor outside.
The light in the corridor was very dim, and Zizi started to get scared after walking a few steps. He wanted to go back to find his brother to keep him company, but when he thought of his brother sleeping, he mustered up his courage and continued walking forward.
After walking for a while.
He finally saw a room with the light on.
"dad!"
A man walked up to the frightened child and ran over. After he got close, he pushed the door hard, trying to open it.
Maybe the people inside were not planning to go to bed yet, so their rooms were not locked.
The kid pushed the door hard and actually opened it.
The door is open.
Ludwig, who seemed to have just stood up from the ground in his coat, looked back. His golden eyes reflected the little kid who had rushed in rashly, and he stopped abruptly when he was about to say something.
no.
No more scaring.
Ivy's anger hasn't subsided yet. If he scares the kid to tears again, he might not even be able to sleep on the sofa tonight.
Thinking of this, Ludwig pulled the corners of his mouth, trying to force a smile to express his friendliness.
But just as he forced a laugh, the little kid at the door suddenly opened his eyes wide, looked at him in panic with his chubby face, and fell on his butt.
