Everyone had a hearty time at the banquet, each of them appearing to enjoying themselves.
Naturally, Longyuan was an exception—he kept staring daggers at Little White Flower, who shuddered each time he did so, since it was quite the frightening stare.
***
At night, both Longyuan and Fengwu kept insisting on sleeping with Liu Rushuang.
"Get off, Longyuan! Sleep at the adjoined chamber!" Han Moze told Longyuan.
"Mother, I want to sleep with you! It's scary sleeping alone!"
Longyuan pouted, wrapping his arms tight around Liu Rushuang tightly, his large round eyes looking up at her with a miserable look that said I-would-cry-if-you-don't-let-me.
Liu Rushuang quickly relented and turned to Han Moze."Ze, let's have Yuan'er and Wu'er sleep with us tonight..."
"No! I will never allow this!"
With those words, Han Moze took Longyuan by the collar, and was about to pick him up.
"Sob... Mother, I want to sleep with you!" Longyuan tightened his hold over Rushuang, crying and looking utterly miserable.
"Mother, I want to sleep together too." Fengwu quickly refused to sleep at the adjoined chamber as well.
Liu Rushuang completely caved at the sight of her two babies, and gave Han Moze a serious look as she said, "We let them sleep with us tonight, Ze!"
Han Moze took a deep breath and released Longyuan's collar. Turning to lie down at another end, he sighed helplessly, "Fine, I'll agree to it. Just don't regret it later!"
Liu Rushuang smiled at him thankfully, while Longyuan quickly stopped crying and giggled instead.
Still, as Han Moze watched the two children clinging on to Liu Rushuang, he could not help showing a contented smile.
He reached out to touch Fengwu's small, tender hand, feeling that the child was still very vulnerable.
Before they slept, Liu Rushuang placed Fengwu and Longyuan between them, and shared a look of bliss with Han Moze before falling asleep.
The next morning, Han Moze left for court, while Liu Rushuang stayed at the Dark Moon Palace to teach the two children to read.
Both children were smart, and just needed one lesson to learn.
"Mother, can I go out to play, please? The people of old often say that we should put what we learn, and simply studying wouldn't allow us to understand the real meaning of our lessons. That's why I want to put it to use."
Longyuan said, suddenly looking up at Liu Rushuang with sparkling eyes after memorizing several hundred characters.
Indeed, he had already put what he learned to good use!
Liu Rushuang sweated from her brow. Still, she found it reasonable after some thought, and told the handmaidens nearby, "You two—go out to play with the prince a little, but you must be back before lunch."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The handmaidens replied, and quickly chased after Longyuan who already dashed towards the door.
The prince was really quick!
Liu Rushuang shook her head—one hour of studying and he was already done... how naughty could he be?
Then, she turned towards Fengwu and asked, "Do you want to go out to play or study?"
"I like studying the most, Mother! Come on, teach me." She said with a dazzling smile.
Liu Rushuang could not help pinching her daughter's cheek lovingly. In the end, she was the more proper child.
With that, she continued teaching her new words at the desk..
