Noble Consort Ling walked into the nursery. She tried her best to soften her footsteps. Bai Wutong shouted crisply, “Mother, it’s fine. They’re awake.”
Bai Wutong called her mother. Noble Consort Ling hurriedly handed over a greeting gift. “It’s a token of my appreciation. It’s the bracelet my father gave me back then. I’ll give it to you now.”
Bai Wutong took the box and opened it. It was a transparent white jade bracelet. Bai Wutong put it on and the size was just right. Her snow-white skin matched the white jade very well.
Bai Wutong had many bracelets of better quality, but what Noble Consort Ling had given her were the memories that Tianbao’s grandfather had left for Noble Consort Ling. Looking at the transparency of the bracelet, she knew that it had been cherished for many years.
Bai Wutong was very happy. “Thank you, Mother.”
Her daughter-in-law was the Great Empress but did not have any airs of a Great Empress. Noble Consort Ling looked at Chu Tianbao, her heart becoming gentle.
Apart from the bracelet, Noble Consort Ling also knitted a hat for Bai Wutong and an elegant scarf embroidered with orchids for use during her confinement period.
Bai Wutong marveled at Noble Consort Ling’s skills. “Mother’s knitting is too beautiful. I’ve never seen these embroidery techniques before.”
There were very few people who were more exquisite at knitting than embroidery.
However, Noble Consort Ling used her knitting skills to the extreme.
Apart from what she gave her, she also prepared some for Tuantuan and Yuanyuan as well.
The clothes, hats, socks, and gloves were all extremely exquisite. If they set up a stall, they could be sold in minutes.
Noble Consort Ling smiled humbly and said, “I have nothing to do, so I was thinking hard about the design. It’s good that you like it.”
Bai Wutong put the baby hat on Tuantuan and Yuanyuan’s heads. Their big round eyes were like little angels who had descended to the mortal world.
Noble Consort Ling looked at Tuantuan and Yuanyuan in the crib and smiled. “The children are so obedient. Is this Yuanyuan?”
Bai Wutong nodded gently. “Yes, this is Yuanyuan. He’s much calmer than his sister. He doesn’t cry or make a fuss usually. He’s the easiest to take care of.”
“Mother can hug him.”
Noble Consort Ling looked happy and carefully carried Yuanyuan.
Yuanyuan’s eyes widened as he lay in her arms. His bright gaze was a little arrogant. He looked exactly the same as Chu Tianbao when he was young.
Noble Consort Ling lowered her voice kindly. “Yuanyuan, I’m your grandmother. You’re so cute.”
Her heart was about to melt for him.
At this moment, all the years of pain seemed to have turned into smoke.
Unexpectedly, Yuanyuan did not close his eyes impatiently and looked like an obedient child. Bai Wutong was extremely relieved.
It was unknown if it was because her brother was being carried away that she felt uneasy, or if she had been ignored by everyone and wanted to attract attention.
Tuantuan suddenly howled. Her cute little voice sounded as if she had eaten something cute.
Chu Tianbao took Yuanyuan over. Noble Consort Ling gently picked Tuantuan up and coaxed her gently, “Tuantuan, don’t cry. Grandmother is here. Our Tuantuan is really beautiful.”
Hearing the praise, the little girl seemed to be satisfied. She suddenly stopped howling and even smiled at Noble Consort Ling.
Noble Consort Ling’s chest was overflowing with sweetness. She coaxed Tuantuan even more skillfully. “Our Tuantuan is as beautiful as Mother and also intelligent.” Afraid that she would neglect Yuanyuan, she added, “Brother Yuanyuan will definitely become strong in the future. Just like your father, you will be skilled in martial arts and will protect Tuantuan.”
Yuanyuan opened his eyes lazily and glanced at his sister, who was smiling foolishly beside him, before looking away casually.
He was cold and arrogant, but it was obvious that he still cared about Tuantuan.
Bai Wutong’s eyes darkened. Yuanyuan seemed to really be different from ordinary children.
However, there was no lack of babies with extremely high IQ in this world. Perhaps Yuanyuan was also one of them.
The children were still young and did not have enough energy. They were tired after a while.
Noble Consort Ling gently put down Yuanyuan and followed Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao to the hall.
The hall had transparent floor-to-ceiling windows that were countless times larger than the bathroom. The view was wide and bright, and she could see the scenery outside, but Bai Wutong would not catch any wind.
The soft sofa looked very comfortable.
Noble Consort Ling sat down with them, and a servant brought over an exquisite cake.
Chu Tianbao said, “My wife and I made this cake ourselves this morning. Mother, try it.”
Noble Consort Ling was about to praise the snacks when she heard that they were personally made by Chu Tianbao and Bai Wutong. Her smile became brighter. “Thank you. It looks delicious.”
Bai Wutong cut the cake. Even though the cake did not seem large, there were many layers of fruits in between.
The soft cake was paired with fresh fruit cream that was sweet and delicious. Coupled with a cup of yogurt, it was a delicacy that Noble Consort Ling had never eaten before.
She looked stunned. Bai Wutong patiently introduced the fruits on the cake, the ingredients, and the craftsmanship.
Chu Tianbao spoke from time to time, and everyone got along very well.
After returning to her room, Bai Wutong suggested to Chu Tianbao, “Mother is still very young. After wasting so many years, it’s time for her to have her own life.”
“There’s no baby item store in Carefree City yet. You’ve seen the clothes that Mother made for Tuantuan and Yuanyuan. They’re especially beautiful and exquisite. If Mother has such plans, even if she opens a shop, it won’t affect her getting along with Tuantuan and Yuanyuan when she gets home.”
Although Noble Consort Ling was young, there was always a tired look in her eyes.
Bai Wutong hoped that she could pull herself together and live brightly like the sun.
Chu Tianbao agreed with Bai Wutong’s suggestion and kissed her forehead. “Thanks for the kind thought.”
His gentle words had a hint of nostalgia and tenderness. His eyes were filled with love.
Bai Wutong kissed him back. “That’s our mother, it’s my duty.”
Bai Wutong found the right time to ask Noble Consort Ling for her opinion. “Mother, the little hat you made for Tuantuan, Yuanyuan, and Stinky is especially beautiful. Many people have asked who made it and want to buy one. Mother, do you have any thoughts about opening an exclusive store for mothers and children?”
Noble Consort Ling was stunned. After a while, she understood what the exclusive store meant. She said humbly with a red face, “It’s Tuantuan and the others who are cute. Many of them knit better than me.”
Bai Wutong smiled and said, “Mother, you don’t have to belittle yourself. The people of Carefree City have to work usually and don’t have much time to make clothes for their children. The clothes you made are so beautiful and comfortable. There will definitely be many people patronizing them.”
“Moreover, we can also sell pregnancy clothes, breastfeeding clothes, pregnant women’s pillows, pregnant women’s skincare lotions, and so on in the maternity shop. We can also sell baby bottles, milk powder, talcum powder for stopping itchiness, baby toys, toiletries, carts, and so on in the maternity shop.”
“Previously, when I was pregnant, I sighed at how troublesome it was for women to give birth. How good would it be if it was an integrated mother and child shop that could prepare everything?”
“If Mother wants to try, she will definitely be able to resolve the
worries of tens of thousands of pregnant women..”
