FID – Chapter 875

Chapter 875: A Tremendous Opportunity!

She didn’t need to think twice. Those two guys definitely wouldn’t care about Feng Qingbai.

But the consequences would be quite serious.

Grandma Liu and Chen Xiulan brought the babies to the doorway, where a crowd immediately surrounded them, all eyes fixed on the two little ones.

“So beautiful!”

“Truly beautiful! Like jade dolls! Hahaha!”

“Look at those little fists clenched—so strong!”

No one paid any attention to Feng Qingbai lying on the ground.

Wei Zi wanted to show himself, but since his master hadn’t given any orders, after some thought, he decided to stay hidden.

The Empress Dowager had been standing a bit further back, but as soon as the babies were brought out, she couldn’t hold back and stepped forward.

“Ahem, let me see. Everyone, step back a bit. You’re blocking me.”

Grandma Liu casually replied, “Just squeeze in then. ‘Let me’ this, ‘let me’ that—why do you always put on airs? Aren’t you tired?”

“You—” The Empress Dowager’s anger hadn’t yet flared up when a perfectly carved, precious-looking baby was handed right in front of her.

“Look, this one is the baby boy. Isn’t he like a jade doll? So beautiful. The little sister too—an absolute beauty in the making! Our Liu family’s foundation is strong!”

Her gaze fell on the baby’s soft, rosy-white face. Watching his tiny hands curled up, his little mouth puckered, all anger just melted away.

“Come, touch it, his little hands are so smooth!”

A voice nearby coaxed her. The Empress Dowager’s eyes brightened as she slowly lifted her finger, almost holding her breath as she cautiously reached out to touch the baby’s tiny hand.

The moment her fingertip touched, the little curled hand suddenly opened and firmly grasped her finger!

The soft touch wrapped around her finger, but it felt like it wrapped around her very heart, making it melt into softness.

At the same time, the baby opened his eyes, met her gaze, and smiled broadly at her, showing his pink gums.

Staring dumbfounded at that smile, feeling the tiny grip on her finger, the old woman’s eyes suddenly welled with tears. A strong, bittersweet feeling surged up—not sadness, but an indistinguishable warmth and fullness swelling in her chest.

Such a tiny, delicate little baby; she could hurt him with even a little force.

So she didn’t dare move, afraid she might hurt the small child.

Seeing this, Chen Xiulan smiled and brought the baby girl over. “Your Majesty, this is the little sister. Please touch her as well. Your Majesty holds the highest status; may these two little ones be blessed by the purple aura around you.”

“…Alright.” Choking up, the Empress Dowager lifted her other hand, intending to gently touch the baby girl’s little head.

Unexpectedly, her palm was met with a tiny force pressing against it, softly resting against her palm, warm and straight to her heart and lungs.

The tears she had been holding back instantly spilled from her eyes and slid down her cheeks. The Empress Dowager looked at the baby girl in disbelief. The girl had opened her glass-like eyes and smiled at her with a small grin.

She remembered. She remembered that when she used to touch Liu Yusheng’s belly, the mischievous baby inside would often press palms with her!

Now, with no barrier, the same gesture—palms touching—felt as if two hearts were pressing together!

When the Empress Dowager was grabbed by the baby boy’s finger earlier, silence fell around them. Everyone was amazed, envious, and even jealous at the scene. At the same time, her reaction brought warmth to their hearts.

“Oh dear, Your Majesty, why are you crying now?” Seeing the elderly lady suddenly trembling with tears, Grandma Liu hurriedly spoke up and gently pulled the baby boy’s hand away. “Don’t get too excited. Du Juan, please take the Empress Dowager to sit next door for a while and let her calm down. We’ll take the babies back to the room—newborns can’t be exposed to the wind.”

The two little babies’ attention was completely stolen by the Empress Dowager, which made the old lady feel a pang of bitterness!

After all, she was the real grandmother!

After being taken to the adjoining room, the Empress Dowager still hadn’t recovered from her emotional state, tears streaming down uncontrollably, which frightened the old matron terribly.

“Your Majesty, what’s wrong? Please don’t scare this old servant…”

Hearing the maid’s voice, the Empress Dowager immediately said, “Quickly send over the baby clothes I prepared myself. They’re made from the finest cotton fabric, washed and sun-dried, perfect for now! That rough, clumsy woman, those countryfolk only dress babies in coarse cloth. Don’t let her harm the little ones! Also, send the ginseng to the Princess Consort… No, after you deliver the clothes, personally go to the kitchen to make a pot of ginseng soup, so that the servants who don’t understand won’t spoil the good stuff.”

Having served the Empress Dowager for decades, the old matron had never heard her speak so much in one breath. She was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded, “This old servant will go at once!”

Outside, the aftershocks from earlier still lingered.

A group of jealous, envious old men continued glaring at each other.

They weren’t seeing things. The two newborn babies treated the Empress Dowager with VIP level treatment!

Why was that?

The most resentful were definitely Qian Wanjin and Feng Mohan.

When it came to how many times they appeared in front of Lucky Nannan during her pregnancy, the Empress Dowager couldn’t compare to them!

So why didn’t the babies glance at them even once when they opened their eyes?

Ungrateful little brats, they weren’t usually this ungrateful! Just like their dad!

The three pairs of eyes all turned toward the man still lying unconscious on the ground.

“Are we going to prick him?”

“Of course we have to, this is an order personally issued by the King of Nanling. How could we not?”

Feng Mohan pursed his lips, silent, feeling conflicted.

He naturally sided with his uncle, but the order was indeed personally given by him.

If he blocked it, would he be the first his uncle would deal with later?

So he took two steps back and just watched carefully.

Only when he saw Xue Qinglian pull out the largest golden needle did his eye twitch.

Holding the golden needle, Xue Qinglian sneered as she approached Feng Qingbai, waving the needle over various parts of his body. “Should I prick the philtrum, the fingernail, or maybe…”

Her gaze landed on the King’s backside.

Qian Wanjin’s eyes lit up, silent but pointing excitedly at Feng Qingbai’s butt, his handsome face twisting with excitement.

What a golden opportunity!

Before, it was always Feng Qingbai who left them frustrated!

Now that the tide has finally turned, and it was Feng Qingbai himself who asked for it—if they didn’t make this unforgettable, and vent all their bad blood, how could they let such a once-in-a-lifetime chance slip by?

They absolutely couldn’t miss it!

“Are we really doing this?” Xue Qinglian’s voice changed, filled with excitement as he stared at that certain king’s backside.

Qian Wanjin didn’t say a word but nodded vigorously.

It was not that he didn’t want to speak. He had to be careful. Even though Feng Qingbai was unconscious now, if his ears were still working and he heard everything, then he and Xue Qinglian would be in deep trouble.

He had to stay sharp.

Their dirty scheming faces made Grandpa Liu and the others twitch in discomfort.

But none of them spoke up to stop it. After all, Nannan had suffered greatly during childbirth; letting Feng Qingbai feel a little pain was only fair.

Besides, it was Feng Qingbai’s own request, wasn’t it?

Where else would they needle him if not there?
