The Enchanting Imperial Concubine (Book 2)

Chapter 376 - Not Grown Up

"The Emperor is just watching; why not join us, the two of us?"

Ye Yun turned her head, raising her delicate brows, and handed him a brush.

The Fourth Prince chimed in, "Father Emperor, let's draw together!"

Ning Chen's smile deepened as he put down his teacup and pinched his son's cheek.

"Why aren't you calling me 'Dad'?"

"The nurse said when I grow up, I should call you Father Emperor," the Fourth Prince replied seriously.

Ning Chen teased him, "So, is Jing'er grown up yet? You have to be as tall as Father to be considered grown up!"

The little Fourth Prince looked up at his father.

Oh my, he was much taller than his mother!

His brows furrowed involuntarily, and after a moment of hesitation, he murmured, "Not grown up..."

"So what should you call me?"

"Dad!"

The Fourth Prince beamed and shouted it out loud.

Seeing his child so adorable, Ning Chen couldn't help but smile even more and lifted his little son, shaking him up and down.

Since he was small, this had been the Fourth Prince's favorite game.

The servants didn't dare lift him; his mother couldn't manage it, but only his father was strong enough.

The little Fourth Prince admired and loved his father immensely.

Ye Yun watched on the side, speechless.

What kind of emperor teaches his son to call him 'Dad'? When they invite a tutor mid-year, it's sure to give the etiquette teacher a headache.

After a while, the three of them started painting together.

The Fourth Prince stood in the middle on a small stool, with his parents on either side.

However, it didn't take long for the Fourth Prince to lose interest.

His parents were so skilled that with just a few strokes, he could no longer tell what he had drawn.

At three years old, the child had little focus; seeing it was no longer fun, he simply stopped painting.

He called Bai Zhu to carry him down and pulled on Nian Gao to go play with the Second Princess.

To the Fourth Prince, the Second Sister was the only one on his level.

However, the Second Princess, who was three years older, had already considered herself an adult.

Tsk, it seemed that only Nian Gao and the Fourth Prince were on the same level.

With his son no longer blocking him, Ning Chen didn't hesitate to remove the small stool from the middle.

He stepped behind Ye Yun and enveloped her completely.

"Qingqing, if you only draw one peacock, wouldn't it be too monotonous?"

Ye Yun flirtatiously glanced back at him, "But I can only draw one. How about... Your Majesty teach me?"

"Since you've said so, how can I refuse?" Ning Chen raised an eyebrow slightly.

In the next moment, he reached out and held the hand Ye Yun was using to grasp the brush.

Their bodies pressed closely together, and it seemed that the brush in their hands and the painting on the paper suddenly had a warmth of their own.
