Chapter 905 - 906: Changing Diapers_1
"Pfft..." Yang Chuxia couldn’t help but laugh at his complaints.
She then placed Lele in his arms, "Hold him, and remember to change his nappy later. You’re in charge of his eating and toileting now. Didn’t you say I was neglecting you? I’m not dealing with these two anymore; I’ll be solely supervising you."
Ye Zi’an felt slightly embarrassed, holding his son for the first time and not quite knowing what to do, he just stood there frozen, staring into his son’s large eyes with his own.
"Pfft..."
Seeing Brother An’s awkward state made Yang Chuxia want to laugh. After a while, she also brought Yangyang over, cooing over him before finally taking the child away.
Ye Zi’an had ridden back early in the morning and had spent the noon drinking with guests, so he was tired. As soon as the child was taken out, he lay down to rest.
Yang Chuxia took the opportunity to go out front and look around. Some guests who had come to celebrate had already left, leaving only family members sitting and chatting.
"Where’s Brother An?" Ms. Wang had been busy until now and hadn’t had a proper talk with her son-in-law yet. She hadn’t been able to ask in detail how he was doing in Capital City. As a mother, how could she not ask a few questions when her child had returned from afar?
"I think he must be tired from the journey, so I let him sleep for a bit."
Ms. Wang nodded and then asked, "And the children?"
"They just fell asleep!" Yang Chuxia took the opportunity to say, "Auntie, none of you should leave tonight. Later, call Uncle and the others over as well. Let’s have our family eat together and chat. It wasn’t convenient to talk this afternoon with so many ladies around."
News of Ye Zi’an scoring second place in the imperial examinations had not yet reached Yangshu Village, but officials had been aware of it much earlier. Especially the news that he had connections with the top general and the third prince circulated in Capital City, and those high-ranking officials conveyed the news to their colleagues and relatives in other places.
Therefore, people in Funan Prefecture’s official circle were also well aware of Ye Zi’an’s accomplishment. When they heard about his son’s full-moon celebration, those of higher rank sent their nannies with congratulatory gifts while those of lower rank had their wives come in person.
Of course, their interest was not solely in Ye Zi’an as an individual, but more in the figures of General Luo and the third prince standing behind him.
Some prominent families that had dealings with the Yang Family also sent representatives, including the Li and Wang Families.
By noon, word spread that the Emperor had personally named the Ye Family’s two young children, and after lunch, many guests hurriedly took their leave to report back.
"Alright, I’ll talk to your Uncle about it later. He’ll be delighted."
Ms. Luo was also busy saying, "I’ll tell your Fourth Uncle when I get back." Ms. Luo came today, and Ms. Hong did not compete with her for the visit. She expressed her satisfaction.

When Ye Zi’an woke up, it was already dark outside. He peaked into the outer room where both babies were awake. He looked over to see the two toddlers holding hands and cooing at each other.
He found it quite interesting, but then saw Yangyang start to pucker his lips, looking like he wanted to cry.
Li’s mother came in and saw this, saying, "I think the young master might have wet himself."
Hearing this, Ye Zi’an picked up Yangyang, still quite clumsy. He felt Yangyang’s little bottom and, indeed, there was a hint of wetness. He placed the child on the nearby bedstead. Picking up a clean nappy, he was at a loss about what to do next, "Nanny, how should I do this?"
"Master, perhaps I should do it?"
"Just teach me," insisted Ye Zi’an.
So Li’s mother had no choice but to stand by and instruct Ye Zi’an on how to stuff the nappy into the pants. It took him quite a while to get it right, and just as he finished, Lele started wetting himself, leaving Ye Zi’an sweating profusely.
