The Valued Lady is Truly Dominant

Chapter 701: Chapter 701: Getting a Grandson, Niu Honghong

Cui Changxiao was entrusted with an important mission and left the capital. With the Emperor missing a scribe by his side, and that scribe being Cui Changxiao, naturally it was not something that could be kept secret. Upon inquiry, he had been appointed as an imperial envoy to clear the river bandits.

Well, the Emperor was really getting serious now.

At the beginning of the year, some people discreetly passed on messages towards Quanzhou while carefully covering their tracks to avoid being caught by the imperial envoy and losing their positions.

Officials colluding with bandits, if exposed, losing their position would be minor compared to implicating their families.

This matter would not be resolved easily, but if Cui Changxiao was capable, the situation there would definitely undergo significant upheaval.

No matter the chaos, Song Ci wasn’t bothered. She couldn’t manage it nor was it her concern; she simply tended her own little piece of land and had a good laugh at it.

Indeed, at the end of January, there was good news from Prince Dingbei’s Mansion. Commandery Princess Dongyang gave birth to a son, and his formal name bestowed by the Emperor is Niu Shen, but his nickname, which might shock you, is Honghong.

When Song Ci first heard the nickname blurted out from her little son’s mouth, she almost spit out her tea.

Niu Honghong, you two really have got it, that’s impressive!

A perfectly crafted little child, as pretty as a little girl, yet with such a fierce nickname, the contrast was quite amusing to her.

Yes, little Niu Honghong’s appearance was evident from birth, resembling his father, yet with large, spirited eyes like his mother. His small face was sharp and delicate, with finely carved features like a little girl.

Niu Pan’er, upon seeing her son’s looks, felt both joy and worry; pleased because he inherited his father’s good looks, worried because with such looks, how could he command authority in the army in the future?

People might just call him a pretty boy and tell him to go home and embroider.

Hearing this, Song Zhiyu was so upset he wanted to leave home with his son immediately. What’s wrong with good looks, do they offend you? Is that how you, as a mother, speak?

My son could look like a celestial being and still fight in battles. Who knows, maybe his looks could deceive some rough men, causing them to underestimate him!

Song Ci agreed, what’s wrong with being handsome? How about the handsome General as an example?

If the looks are too attention-grabbing, a mask could always add an air of mystery, much like the historically renowned Prince of Lanling. He was a famous beauty, and he still fought across the land.

However, the Prince of Lanling didn’t have a good ending, so perhaps it would be better not to follow in his footsteps.

”Looking good means standing out in the future; we can proudly make people envious and say that although we could rely on looks, we choose to rely on talent,” Song Ci said happily.

With looks, family background, and talent, he was practically a diamond-grade little eligible bachelor; wouldn’t mothers-in-law fight over him?

Everyone: ”...”

They forgot there was someone here more into handsome faces, even sparing no children.

Song Ci held onto her little grandson, unwilling to let go, and jiggled him a bit.

Waaa.

The baby cried.

Song Ci felt a bit awkward; it really wasn’t her that made him cry, would everyone believe that?

Song Zhiyu, feeling distressed beside her, hurried forward to hold him: ”He definitely wet himself. Mom, let me.”

Without waiting for Song Ci to respond, he gently took his son and moved to the soft beauty couch. He reached into the swaddle, then called for diapers and personally changed them, a task he was clearly not undertaking for the first time.

Song Ci: ”...”

Her little fourth son had upgraded to a full-time nurse dad.
