Chapter 263: Is Xiao Fu Bao Disliked? The Whole City Loves Me With Their Lives
**Chapter 263: The Loving Mother’s Pouch**
Prince Qi quickly regretted allowing Feng Xuanrui to stay.
Because...
Feng Xuanrui was just too noisy!
He had taken Suisui to bed to sleep, and at first, he was earnestly teaching her some basic knowledge. They had already memorized quite a bit of the *Three Character Classic*, and Suisui was learning diligently.
But as they continued studying, the two of them started pulling at the threads in the bedding.
It wasn’t clear which thread he grabbed, but Feng Xuanrui found it fun and started pulling it along with Suisui.
By the time Prince Qi noticed something was wrong...
One side of the quilt had been completely unraveled.
Prince Qi: ...
He quickly had the servants replace the quilt with a new one and then gave Feng Xuanrui a stern warning to settle down.
Feng Xuanrui listened... a little.
Soon, he started jumping on the bed with Suisui.
The system watching this scene thought...
It was time for a lesson on soft, high-elastic mattresses.
But still, young children shouldn’t sleep on overly soft beds, as their bones are still developing.
So, maybe they should wait a bit longer.
How soft could a bed be with just the quilt on it?
When Feng Xuanrui jumped, the bed made loud *thumping* sounds.
Prince Qi: …! Help!
Couldn’t they stay still for even a moment?
The two kids finally wore themselves out and went to sleep.
Fortunately, they had already washed up before getting into bed. Although they were sweating from jumping around, they weren’t too dirty. And since they were exhausted, they fell asleep quickly, which made it hard for Prince Qi to complain.
However, the bed was small, and with two children squished together, Prince Qi tried different angles but found that whenever he climbed in, Qi Wangfei couldn’t, and when she climbed in, he couldn’t.
Prince Qi: ?
Frustrated, he pinched his waist and, in the end, angrily picked up Feng Xuanrui and carried him to the side hall.
In the side hall, Prince Qi carefully settled Feng Xuanrui, covered him with a blanket, and then returned to the main room.
He didn’t stay long. He glanced at Suisui, but still felt uneasy and turned to leave.
At the door, Prince Qi spoke to Qi Wangfei.
He didn’t want to squeeze into the bed and disturb Qi Wangfei or the children’s rest. Plus, he was worried about little Sixth being alone in the side hall, so he kept looking back as he headed for the side hall.
Feng Xuanrui, who had dreamed of sleeping with his little sister, woke up the next morning to see his father’s familiar face...
Although Prince Qi had shaved and cleaned his face, that wasn’t what Feng Xuanrui wanted to see!
If it weren’t for urgently needing to use the restroom, he would’ve definitely confronted his father.
Why was he brought out here?
Where was his sister?
His sister, the one he loved so much?
This situation left Feng Xuanrui grumpy during breakfast.
Prince Qi chuckled, but Feng Xuanrui refused to respond. He stubbornly turned his head away but couldn’t help glancing back to look for his sister.
However, he refused to look at his father!
The younger sister is cute, the younger sister is good.
Father doesn’t let him sleep with his younger sister. Father is bad!
Prince Qi isn’t angry. He chuckles, comforting one child after another.
After a long while, the morning meal was finished.
Prince Qi, not having had a chance to intervene, felt a bit regretful. Prince Qi usually has no duties, so he doesn’t need to attend court.
When the Emperor needs him, he is notified one or two days in advance by someone sent to his residence.
Therefore, today, Prince Qi still had a day of idleness.
However, in the evening, the two young masters of the household would return.
They only come back once a month, so Prince Qi attaches great importance to this.
In the early morning, Qi Wangfei was busy. People from the manor were bringing all sorts of supplies, and she personally went to inspect to see if anything was missing. If so, she would inform them to deliver it in the afternoon.
The manor also knew that the two young masters would return at the end of the month, so they prepared all the necessary supplies as per last month’s customs.
If something was missing, they could send it over in the afternoon.
Prince Qi was still uneasy and had originally planned to take Suisui along.
However, Suisui's playmates had arrived today, and they were going to the small class.
Prince Qi, both thinking about the return of his two sons and wanting to accompany Suisui to the class, hesitated for a moment, and Suisui, already excited, took her sister Tangtang’s hand and cheerfully said goodbye to her father.
Prince Qi: …!
I only hesitated for a moment!
The children were leaving, and Qi Wangfei didn’t stop them. She just called over Feng Xuanrui.
Feng Xuanrui was puzzled but happily walked over, only to receive a pouch sewn by his mother.
Feng Xuanrui: ?
I really don’t need it, Mother!!!
Feng Xuanrui still clearly remembers the last time he wore the pants his mother personally sewed. Within half a day, the seams burst, and if not for an extra layer inside, his bare bottom would have been exposed!
This time, although it was a pouch, he wasn’t very excited either.
However, Qi Wangfei felt guilty because she had been favoring Suisui recently and hadn’t paid much attention to her own children. So, she had taken the time to sew a pouch she thought was quite beautiful and couldn’t wait to give it to Feng Xuanrui.
If she hadn’t been worried about disturbing the children’s play last night, she would have given it to him then.
Feng Xuanrui’s face wrinkled up, and Prince Qi was laughing, holding his mouth to suppress it.
Qi Wangfei, hearing the sound, turned around and gave him a glare. When she turned back to look at Feng Xuanrui, her expression softened with love: “Good child, this was sewn by your mother, do you like it?”
Feng Xuanrui: …!
I can’t even say I don’t like it!
Qi Wangfei knew her sewing skills weren’t great, but since her child didn’t want to accept it, she felt a little hurt.
She thought for a moment and then softened her tone: “If you don’t like it, you can give it to Suisui later.”
But this ugly thing would never go on Suisui!
Qi Wangfei thought to herself, though her face didn’t show it.
No matter what, it was a mother’s loving intention, and even if Feng Xuanrui didn’t like it, he wouldn’t refuse it.
However, upon hearing his mother say it could be given to his sister, Feng Xuanrui nearly shook his head off: “No way… what’s mine is mine, it can’t be given to Suisui.”
Feng Xuanrui thought, ugly thing, I’ll wear it myself, but I won’t let it harm my sister!
Suisui should be dressed beautifully, so the fake people in the capital won’t look down on her!
With tears in his eyes, Feng Xuanrui put on the ugly pouch his mother had sewn for him.
After putting it on, he awkwardly said, “Thank you, Mother.”
Seeing that the child wore it, Qi Wangfei breathed a sigh of relief and gently patted Feng Xuanrui’s head: “Good child, go to your small class now.”
Feng Xuanrui quickly caught up with his brothers.
The brothers were curious about why he was lagging behind.
Feng Xuanrui didn’t want to share his ugly pouch with them.
But Feng Xuanbo, with his sharp eyes, saw it and laughed as he asked, “Ah, Sixth brother, what is this?”
