Chapter 447
Yun Lang rarely felt guilty, but he chuckled awkwardly and did not dare make a sound.
Beside him, Qin Yiru laughed and said, Yes, they are two good names. One is named Yan Daniu, and the other is Yan Erniu.
Chu Ruoyan's expression froze, suspecting she had heard wrong.
Yun Lang forced a smile, Was I not in a hurry to leave back then? I just came up with them casually, very casually. Do not take it to heart... Ah, I suddenly remembered there is still business at the Baixiao Pavilion, I will take my leave first!
After saying that, he ran off as fast as he could, terrified that his sister and brother-in-law would settle the score with him.
Chu Ruoyan was both angry and amused. This second brother had helped them a lot, but had also caused them plenty of trouble. Take for instance when he secretly abducted their mother before, which nearly drove their father crazy to the point of a violent outburst on the spot.
And this Yan Daniu and Yan Erniu... is that not a bit too casual!
Eldest brother's Zhao character takes the meaning of the rising sun, his Lang means beautiful jade, and as for Miao, it means vastness, embodying both the vastness of heaven and earth and the insignificance of dust. Every single one was carefully thought out, yet he... Chu Ruoyan secretly gritted her teeth, really wanting to ask her second brother what he was thinking. Even disregarding everything else, these two children would be princes in the future!
Could it be that Yan Daniu and Yan Erniu would be written on the royal genealogy records?
Just to let the people of the world mock Yan Zheng, this military general who became emperor, for being uneducated?
Yan Zheng had long guessed this point, thinking to himself that Yun Lang was absolutely doing it on purpose. But on the surface, he said, A'yan, it is fine. Tall and strong like bulls and horses, Second Brother probably just wanted the children to be healthy and strong...
Hearing this made Chu Ruoyan feel even more guilty. You are just too reasonable and understanding.
The shadow guard following behind them twitched his mouth.
The master clearly did not say that before.
He had said that if Yun Lang dared to target him, he would return an eye for an eye, and had even thought of several ways to teach him a lesson...
Unfortunately, the shadow guard could not say it out loud. He could only watch as his master pushed his luck, seeking benefits and affection from his wife.
After a period of intimate cuddling, Chu Ruoyan pushed him away, panting slightly. Alright, have you thought of the children's formal names?
Formal names?
Yes, Yan Daniu and Yan Erniu can only be used as nicknames. For their formal names, we still have to ask you, their imperial father, to think of them.
Yan Zheng's lips curled up slightly. He pulled her to sit down in the inner room. Nanny Zhou and Yulu followed behind, each holding a child. For this generation of the Yan family, they are ranked with the character Wen. What do you think of Yan Wenshi?
Which Shi?
The Shi from knowing right from wrong. He paused, then added, When Yan Xun was alive, he said he hoped I could know right from wrong in the future.
Chu Ruoyan understood. This was the influence of his deeply cherished elder brother. She said, Alright, then how about the older one be named Yan Wenshi, and the younger one Yan Wenfei?
She had thought the Emperor would readily agree, but Yan Zheng remained silent for a moment before simply saying, All of you, step out first.
Yulu, Nanny Zhou, and the others complied, carrying the children out.
Only the two of them were left in the room.
What is wrong? Do you think Wenfei is not good and want to change it? Chu Ruoyan looked at him blankly. Yan Zheng shook his head and covered her hand with his. A'yan, have you ever thought about having the younger one take your surname?
???
The young lady suddenly stood up. What nonsense are you talking about?
Yan Zheng pressed on her shoulders to make her sit down. I am not talking nonsense. I know the situation of your maiden families. The Chu family is fine; the second branch still has Chu Tingfeng and others who can inherit the title. But the Yun family... looking at how your second brother is, do you think he will ever settle down and marry?
Chu Ruoyan was stunned.
The image of Yun Lang being cynical and playfully lying on the laps of beauties floated into her mind. She immediately shook her head repeatedly. Second brother's temperament is unstable, he should not ruin a good girl's life.
Yan Zheng nodded. Exactly. Emperor Yunning has no heir, and Yun Zihao from the Prince of Jin's lineage must also die. Coupled with your family's current situation, if there is no heir to carry on, the Yun clan of the Sheng Dynasty will truly end. So...
So you want the younger one to take our surname? Chu Ruoyan felt her nose tingle with emotion. This man had considered things she had not even thought of. But Yan Zheng, have you thought about what the court will think, what the world will think if you do this? Will those imperial censors not go crazy presenting remonstrances?
Yan Zheng laughed dismissively. I do not care, why bother with them? A'yan, you just need to tell me if you are willing or not.
Chu Ruoyan lowered her eyes and remained silent.
Since he treated her so well, she could not make things difficult for him!
He, as the Emperor of the dynasty, could make decisions on other matters, but the surname of an heir involved lineage and inheritance. If it were truly changed, not only would the imperial censors protest to the death, but it would also be impossible to silence the gossiping mouths of the world!
Just as she was about to open her mouth, Aunt Luo came in and said, Little Master, the Master has woken up and wants to see you and the son-in-law.
She had to stand up. We will talk about this later, let us go over there first.
Outside the medicine hut, before they even went in, they heard the Regent's cold shout.
Yun Lang, I know you hate me. It does not matter if you do not acknowledge me, but in front of your mother, even if you have to fake it, you must pretend that we are a loving father and a filial son, do you hear me?
Chu Ruoyan's mouth twitched. She exchanged a glance with Yan Zheng, and both could see the helplessness on each other's faces.
Where in the world was there such a father and son?
As expected, Yun Lang sneered, What, now that mother is awake, you know how to be anxious? Let me tell you, you old madman, I have not even settled the matter concerning my brother and Miaomiao with you...
Before he could finish speaking, they heard the Princess Consort's voice from the inner room: Is it Langlang who has come?
Yun Lang had to swallow his words, glaring fiercely at his biological father before going in.
The Regent ignored him. Seeing his daughter and son-in-law, he said coldly, Your mother is waiting for you inside. As for you— His gaze stopped on Yan Zheng, Come with me.
Chu Ruoyan's heart skipped a beat. One must know that when they first came up the mountain, he almost took Yan Zheng's life!
But Yan Zheng squeezed the palm of her hand and said, Do not worry, father-in-law will not make things difficult for me.
As soon as the words father-in-law came out, the Regent immediately gave a cold snort, but then frowned.
Indeed, he did not care, but that did not mean Qing'er did not care either.
Besides, this was the first son-in-law his daughter had brought back. If something really happened to him, it would be hard for him to explain.
Therefore, he grunted, Relax, I am just going to ask him a few questions.
Only then did Chu Ruoyan breathe a sigh of relief. Looking back every three steps, she walked into the room where Yun Lang was guarding the bedside, keeping their mother company and talking to her.
He always had a sweet mouth, and who knows what he said to coax the Princess Consort into smiling from ear to ear. The Princess Consort looked up and saw her come in, and quickly waved her hand: Miaomiao is here? Come here quickly, let mother take a good look at you.
Chu Ruoyan's heart warmed. She walked over quickly and delivered her face into her mother's palm. Mother, your daughter is unfilial. It took me so long to come to Mount Mei to visit you.
What silly things are you saying? Your father and Langlang both told me. You suffered a lot wandering outside. Fortunately, Qiaoniang is a loyal one, and you met a good family like the Duke of Chu's. Speaking of which, it is us parents who have let you down...
Mother! Chu Ruoyan's eyes turned red.
In her memory, Qiaoniang, who was disguised as Madam Jiang, was always more respectful than intimate.
But now, seeing her biological mother, that blood-tied closeness spontaneously arose, even bridging the gap of many years of separation: Mother, Miaomiao missed you so much, so much!
She lowered her head, and her tears fell patter by patter.
The Princess Consort waited for her to let it all out for a while before gently wiping away her tears. "There, there. Miaomiao is a grown woman now, you mustn't cry and ruin your makeup." She furrowed her brows as she spoke. "By the way, I heard from your second brother that you are already married. Your husband... his surname is Yan, is it not?"
