The Enchanting Imperial Concubine (Book 2)

Chapter 402 - Each with a Serving

Perhaps it was because Ning Chen hadn't spoken, but aside from the Fourth Prince and the Second Princess, the other two children were still dazed.

Ye Yun glanced at Ning Chen.

He understood and quickly waved his hand, "Go wash your hands and then come back to play."

Only then did the two children bow respectfully and follow Nan Zhi to wash their hands.

Once the children had left, Ye Yun lightly nudged Ning Chen with her elbow.

"Your Majesty, you must be too strict usually; the children are all afraid of you."

"Nonsense, look at Jing'er; he doesn't fear me. It's these two who have gotten more disciplined as they've grown," Ning Chen whispered.

Ye Yun raised an eyebrow slightly, "It seems Jing'er takes after me the most and is the least disciplined."

"You're clever; you maintain proper decorum where it matters and are relaxed when it's not necessary."

Ning Chen's eyes held a hint of amusement.

"Sit down; you've gained some weight, and it's tiring to stand and talk."

Ye Yun nodded and sat down with his support.

Just then, the children who had washed their hands came out and happened to see Ning Chen pouring a cup of tea and handing it to Ye Yun.

The Eldest Prince and Second Prince looked a bit surprised.

They had never seen that before; they had only seen others pour tea for their father.

However, they didn't say anything about it.

At their age of six or seven, they didn't understand much about these things.

While they were observing, the Fourth Prince had already discovered the little rabbits in the bamboo basket.

"Eldest Brother, Second Brother, come and see! There are rabbits!"

This group of children had only seen rabbits in pictures and had never seen a living one before, so they were instantly attracted.

The four children, along with the large dog Niangao, formed a tight circle around the basket, staring at the two little rabbits.

Seeing their interest, Ye Yun decided to instruct the servants to bring some fresh vegetable leaves for the children to feed the rabbits.

This was so much fun, especially since none of them had experienced it before.

Even the Eldest Prince and Second Prince forgot about decorum, and they all squatted down together to feed the rabbits.

But two rabbits weren't enough for all of them to feed!

The Fourth Prince was quite bold and wrapped his arms around Ning Chen's leg, acting cute.

"Dad, Jing'er wants a little rabbit! Brother wants one, and Sister wants one too!"

The other three children didn't speak, but they all stared eagerly at Ning Chen.

Their meaning was clear: they all wanted rabbits.

Such cute little creatures, which child wouldn't like them, especially since this wasn't an era filled with toys.

Ning Chen naturally couldn't refuse the children's requests, so he ordered someone to find some rabbits.

Fortunately, Lingxi Garden had a beast enclosure, and there were rabbits, so a whole nest was brought over.
