Chapter 1052 Nicknames

Chapter 1052: Nicknames Chapter 1052: Nicknames Editor: Atlas Studios After being in a dilemma for three months, Qi Haoran finally decided on a nickname for the two children when they were almost 100 days old.

The fourth child was called Little Leopard.

Initially, he wanted to name him Big Whale.

According to him, “This way, we’ll have both land and sea animals in the family.

Didn’t you say that the big fish that can spray water into the sky is called a whale and that they dominate the seas?” However, the three older kids rejected this name for two reasons.

Firstly, their nicknames were all ‘Little Something’.

How could their Fourth Brother have the word ‘Big’ in his nickname?

Secondly, this name was too difficult to write.

How long would it take for their younger brother to learn to write his nickname?

The three children vehemently refused, so Qi Haoran could only continue to hold his head and think.

Seeing that the children were almost 100 days old and had already received lots of red packets for the New Year, Qi Haoran still couldn’t think of anything.

He could only tease the boy with an embroidered ball made with colored thread and ask him what nickname he wanted.

Old Fourth, who was only three months old, did not understand what his father was saying.

His gaze just kept following the embroidered ball.

Seeing that the colorful threads were out of his reach, he could not help but let out an anxious cry.

Qi Haoran lowered his head to look at him, and the embroidered ball in his hand slipped a little.

His Fourth Son quickly reached out to grab it and stuffed it into his mouth, his movements so fast that Qi Haoran did not even have time to grab it.

Qi Haoran was deep in thought.

“Since you’re so fast, why don’t we give you the name Leopard?

No, it sounds like a name for an outlaw.

Hmm… how about Little Leopard?” This time, the three brothers did not object.

Mu Yangling was already immune to Qi Haoran’s zoo-naming method.

Anyway, the child’s nickname would only be with them for a few years.

In the future, they would be given a proper name.

Outsiders would only know them by their proper names, so there was no need to be so particular about the nickname.

Qi Haoran heaved a sigh of relief and happily hugged his daughter.

“Sweetie, now all that’s left is your nickname.” Regarding his daughter’s nickname, Qi Haoran had many thoughts.

For example, the flower series, like peony which he particularly adored.

He was certain his daughter would grow up to be an outstanding beauty and elegant.

Other than his big brother’s daughter, only his daughter was worthy of such a name.

However, Mu Yangling almost spat out a mouthful of blood and refused to agree.

The memories of her previous life had really affected her a lot.

To her, the name Peony was extremely vulgar.

Qi Haoran couldn’t help but glare at her.

“How can a peony be vulgar?

Go outside and ask around.

Who would dare to call themselves Peony?” “In any case, I disagree.” Mu Yangling snapped with a fierce expression, “I don’t want my daughter’s name to come out of other people’s mouths whenever they’re discussing poetry.” Qi Haoran puffed up his cheeks and looked at her.

He said aggrievedly, “I’ve been thinking about this name for several years…” “…It took you several years to come up with such a name?

You’re quite talented, huh.” Mu Yangling couldn’t help but blame him.

“If you had discussed it with me earlier, would you have needed to think about this name for two years?

I would’ve said no the moment you suggested it.” Qi Haoran could not help but stomp his feet.

“What’s so bad about this name?

Even Zijin praised me for it!” For the sake of her daughter’s future, Mu Yangling refused no matter what.

She said, “I don’t want to call my daughter by the name of a flower every time I call out to her.” “Our daughter is a flower to begin with.

The most prosperous and gorgeous flower…” Mu Yangling didn’t know how to explain it to him, so she could only soften her voice and say, “Master, flowers are actually similar to grasses.

How can our daughter be something so fragile as flowers and grasses?” “She has four older brothers.

She just needs to be happy.

So what if she’s fragile?

To be fragile is to be delicate.

Didn’t we give birth to four older brothers for her to be delicate?” Fine, so he couldn’t be reasoned with.

Mu Yangling started to worry.

If their daughter was raised like this, would she grow up to be spoiled and domineering?

Back then when she was pregnant, Qi Haoran had confidently declared that she must be pregnant with a son.

This time, when the imperial physician said that she was pregnant with twins, he determined it was a son and a daughter.

Seeing that he was so obsessed with having sons, Mu Yangling had feared that he would favor boys over girls in the future.

Who knew that he would spoil his daughter to this extent?

Her milk was not enough for the two children, but these two children were more delicate than their older brothers.

After drinking her milk, they were unwilling to drink other people’s milk.

Qi Haoran’s heart ached so much that his eyes turned red, but he still asked Mu Yangling to feed their daughter first before giving the rest to their son.

He asked Imperial Physician Wang for a prescription for baby food supplement and personally ground the barley rice, lotus seed mountain medicinal tablets, and fine rice into powder for his son to eat.

Qi Haoran said, “Your younger sister is younger than you.

As the older brother, you have to give in to her.

When she grows up, you’ll have to protect her.

This complementary food is also delicious.

Look, Daddy put sugar in it for you.

It’s sweet, isn’t it?” At the thought that Qi Haoran doted on his daughter so much, Mu Yangling took a deep breath and planned to patiently reason with him.

“Flowers and plants don’t have a long lifespan.

They’re so fragile that they will easily break with a snap.

The meaning is not good…” Qi Haoran looked at her in disdain.

“Well, turtles have a long life, but can my daughter be called that?

Peony has the best meaning.

Other than this flower, what else is worthy of my daughter?” Seeing that she couldn’t reason with him, Mu Yangling insisted with a straight face, “Anyway, I don’t want that to be my daughter’s nickname.” Qi Haoran opened his mouth.

Seeing that his wife was really angry, he couldn’t help but scratch his head.

He had to get her approval for this.

However, it had been two years since Qi Haoran first came up with this name.

He often thought to himself that if he had a daughter one day, she would be called Peony.

This obsession had already been deeply rooted in his heart.

If he were to come up with another name, nothing else seemed as good.

Qi Haoran flipped through the book in distress, planning to think even harder.

Seeing that it was almost 100 days, Fan Zijin thought of giving the two children a piece of carved jade and asked Qi Haoran for their names.

Qi Haoran said in distress, “The Fourth Son’s nickname is Little Leopard.

I haven’t decided on a nickname for my daughter yet.” “Animals again.” Fan Zijin expressed that this would make choosing gifts more convenient.

He could simply have a leopard carved and there wasn’t even a need to engrave words.

“Isn’t your daughter called Peony?

Did you change your mind again?” “Ah Ling doesn’t agree.” “Why?” Fan Zijin was puzzled.

“Isn’t Peony a good nickname?” “Yes, but Ah Ling just doesn’t like it.

She said no to flowers and plants.” Fan Zijin pouted.

“What does she know?

Flowers and plants are beautiful.

If she doesn’t like peony, there’s also Plum, Blossom, and Orchid, right?” Qi Haoran shook his head.

“Plum, Blossom, and Orchids pale in comparison to Peony—they’re too lofty.

Peony is more graceful.” Fan Zijin rolled his eyes and instigated, “Then just decide upon that.

You’re the child’s father.

You’re the one in charge of coming up with the nicknames.

Why ask her, a woman?” Qi Haoran nodded.

Mid-nod though, he reacted and shook his head repeatedly.

“Ah Ling worked so hard to give birth to them.

Giving the kids nicknames is a big deal.

How can I not heed her opinion?” Fan Zijin was already used to his weak-husband attitude.

It was impossible for Qi Haoran to ride on Mu Yangling’s head and do whatever he wanted in this life.

He thought about it seriously and said, “You and your wife treat her like a treasure.

Why don’t you call her Baozhu1?

Coincidentally, she’s the second daughter of the royal family, and the Eldest Princess’s nickname is Mingzhu.” As for the daughters of the Marquis of Peaceful Happiness and the Marquis of Peaceful Stability, Fan Zijin did not consider them as belonging to the royal family.

Qi Haoran seriously considered it.

After a while, he nodded and said, “Then let’s decide on ‘Mingzhu’.

Seeing as it’s such an elegant name, Ah Ling shouldn’t object.” Indeed, Mu Yangling no longer objected this time and agreed with this nickname.

Qi Haoran touched his daughter’s little head regretfully and looked at his happy daughter.

“From now on, you’ll be called Baozhu.

You have to be happy and grow up healthy.” Baozhu blew a bubble at her father in response, making Qi Haoran amused.

He felt that there was nothing bad about this name.

it means ‘treasure’
