Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Third Wife laughingly scolded, "You address me as imperial aunt, yet you call my niece Aunt. You and I are both at a loss here."

Chen Afu chuckled inwardly, thinking that if Xiao Shiyi were to formally recognize his ancestors and return to their ancestral roots in the future, the Byzantine ranking would become even more complex.

Li Xuan then proceeded to play with his two younger brothers in the baby carriage. The two little guys have woken up and are giggling, making faces at him. Astonished, he asked his aunt, "My brothers have grown so much, how come I haven’t grown that much?"

No matter what her son says, Princess Rui was always amazed at his intelligence. Upon hearing him ask this question, she laughed so hard her eyes turned into crescents, "Aiyo, Xuan’er, you’re so smart, even noticed that your brothers have grown so much. Infants under the age of one grow by leaps and bounds, looking different within a matter of days, but the rate of growth slows after they turn one."

Princess Rui again laughed, "My son is smart, that’s exactly how it is."

Chen Afu laughed, "Through a mother’s eyes, their sons are always this excellent."
