Chapter 5375: The Heart of a Loving Father

Crown Prince Mo looked at his mother with lingering resentment, then walked away pitifully.

Empress Bai glanced back at him, puzzled. Her son looked so wronged; an unknowing person might think someone had mistreated him, the Crown Prince.

An old nanny beside Empress Bai, supporting her arm, couldn't help but lower her head and chuckle. "Your Majesty, you should also show some concern for His Highness."

"After all, His Highness blocked the thunderfire tribulation for the little imperial grandson for three days and three nights!"

Bai Wuxia couldn't help but laugh at the thought. The news had now spread throughout the streets and alleys, praising the Crown Prince's heart of a loving father, how he selflessly blocked three days and nights of heavenly fire and thunder tribulation for the little imperial grandson, pfft... Heaven knew the Crown Prince had no choice!

The heavenly fire and thunder tribulation dared not strike Qiao Qiao, nor dared it confront her little grandson. It vented all its anger on the Crown Prince instead. The Crown Prince was so unlucky; it was completely against his will.

...

"Master..." Guang Guang, taking tiny steps, crossed the high threshold, a watery glimmer in his eyes. He swayed his small body, scampered over, and with a flop, landed by the bed, kicking his legs to climb up.

"Master, Master, Master." Guang Guang kicked his legs three times, finally managing to hoist himself onto the bed. He looked up and saw Qiao Mu staring at him expressionlessly.

"Woman, I've come to see my little master!"

Without a word, Qiao Mu raised her hand and knocked him on his shiny bald head. "Call me Auntie!"

Guang Guang covered his head, pouted, then rolled over to the swaddling blanket. He lay there, calling out in surprise, "Woman... Auntie."

Seeing Qiao Mu about to flick his big head again, Guang Guang had no choice but to yield to the oppressive force and immediately corrected himself, "Auntie, look, look. My little master is so handsome."

Qiao Mu looked at him without much expression. The baby's face hadn't even fully opened yet; he was still all wrinkled. Perhaps Guang Guang's eyesight wasn't very good, or he simply found him handsome regardless. However, Little Mo Baby's eyes were dark and glistening, just like hers! So, yes, there was indeed some handsomeness.

"Guang Guang, whose eyes do you think he has?"

"Yours," Guang Guang quickly said, trying to curry favor.

Qiao Mu was very pleased. She nodded and said seriously, "Indeed. His eyes look so much like mine." As expected of my child, Qiao Qiao thought with delight.

"Woman." Guang Guang blurted out, then quickly corrected himself. "Auntie, can I play with Master for a bit?"

"No!" A resounding denial came from Little Monkey beside them.

Guang Guang looked back and saw Little Monkey and Baldy the Little Monk both lying by the bed, their gazes fixed on him.

"Why can't I? This is my little master."

Without another word, Little Monkey raised her hand and firmly slapped Guang Guang's small bottom. "No manners, no rules. Do you know who I am?"

Guang Guang looked at her, bewildered, and stammered, "You, you're just, just Little Monkey, aren't you?"

"Is 'Little Monkey' what you call me?!" Little Monkey's face hardened, and she slapped Guang Guang's bottom again in anger.

Guang Guang's face flushed red, so angry his hair almost stood on end. "You, you! You."

"You what?" Little Monkey irritably pushed away his pointing finger. "From now on, you're to call me Little Auntie!"

What?! Guang Guang was so angry he almost fainted.
