Chapter 1336: Chapter 1333: Renowned

Chu Jin felt a bit wronged, “Mother, I have been obedient. It’s just that I really can’t learn to be gentle as you asked.”

He scratched his head, a movement that clearly showed how frustrated he was.

Ye Muyu couldn’t help but laugh upon seeing this.

“All you need to remember is to think before you act and consult your father if you’re uncertain about anything. As for your temperament, being gentle isn’t the only good trait. Your mother likes you just the way you are,” Ye Muyu said reassuringly with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Chu Jin instantly let go of his worries; seeing the genuine expression on his mother’s face, he couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Madam Liu, seeing her child laugh so foolishly, couldn’t help but laugh as well, “Will Lil’ Jin return to our ancestral home with us?”

“We can discuss that later, let’s talk about Nuanbao’s formal name first,” Chu Zhiwen quickly intervened, shifting the topic to Nuanbao.

Madam Liu immediately nodded, “Exactly, Nuanbao has grown up nicely, he has changed a lot after being looked after.”

“Ah Heng, have you thought of a name?”

Chu Heng, upon being asked by the elders, presented the names he had thought of, “I have chosen two, Chu Qingxing and Zhi Lin.”

“Father, Mother, Ah Yu, do you have a preference for either?”

Ye Muyu, liking both the sophisticated and pleasant names, was very satisfied, “I think both are nice.”

“Judging by the characters alone, the former has a clearer personality, while the latter seems more stable,” one commented.

“Let’s go with the first one, Chu Qingxing. He sounds like a good child and is sure to develop the gentle temperament Ah Yu described.”

Chu Heng felt either was suitable and left the decision to the three of them.

Eventually, they settled on the name Chu Qingxing.

Ye Muyu felt that this name carried the air of a refined gentleman, perfectly meeting her expectations of an ancient scholar.

Lil’ Jin didn’t get to pick a pleasant-sounding name, but she couldn’t miss the opportunity to name her younger son.

Once the name was settled, everything returned to normal.

The next day, Chu Heng went to the yamen to report back from leave and was summoned to the palace for a talk.

Ye Muyu didn’t send the child away and decided to take care of him herself.

Waking up in the morning, after she had eaten, Nuanbao also hadn’t fallen asleep, and the two of them looked into each other’s eyes.

Ye Muyu found it endearing and reached out to poke his chubby cheeks, which made Nuanbao smile at her.

The child was growing up fast; the reddish hue of a newborn had already faded, like a peeled egg.

“Lady, was the Third Young Master well-behaved today?” Su Mei and Chun Xing came in.

Ye Muyu’s face wore a soft smile, “He was very well-behaved, not fussy at all, which proves I chose a good name.”

“I think the Third Young Master is also very gentle, which is relieving. I was worried he might be fussy and disturb your rest, lady, but seeing how well-behaved he is, he probably doesn’t want to trouble you,” Chun Xing said playfully, cooing at the baby.

Ye Muyu knew she was just saying sweet words to please her.

But praising the child really did make her feel good.

She just let her be.

Nevertheless, the child was still very young and soon fell asleep.

Su Mei busily moved Nuanbao to a small rocking cradle nearby.

With the weather not being too hot, Ye Muyu found sitting the month comparatively comfortable, at least not having to worry about the heat.

However, after the child fell asleep, Ye Muyu beckoned Su Mei over and whispered softly, “I want to use water to wipe my body.”

Before giving birth, she couldn’t go two days without bathing and now, after childbirth, she didn’t want to force herself. Although she couldn’t bathe, she could still wipe herself down, especially the lower body.

Understanding the hint, Su Mei nodded and went to fetch water.
