After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband
Chapter 1005 - 999: Out of Favor
Prince NanAn and Princess NanAn have a loving relationship, always managing everything with mutual consideration.
Who would have thought that in the matter of embracing the grandson, they would take a wrong turn and completely forget about their son.
Even the servants didn’t notice, and as a result, the grandson had a full-month celebration before the son found out.
Reflecting on grumbling for so long and just glaring again and again, Princess NanAn started feeling a bit sorry for her son.
But just a little.
His wife got pregnant, and Princess Consort Zhenbei reminded him about the ten-month wait, yet he never thought about it.
This dimwittedness, feeling aggrieved even after being glared at?
Princess NanAn gave him another glare.
The guests who came to Nanyang Marquis Mansion to express their gratitude were clutching their shaking shoulders.
It’s the first time they’ve seen parents forget about their son, not knowing their son had a child.
Accidentally attending the son’s full-month banquet only to be blocked at the door for a ticket before being allowed entry.
It’s hilarious enough to die laughing.
This joke spread widely in Yinzhou, eventually reaching the Capital City, and who knows how many people burst into laughter...
Nanyang Marquis Mansion holds a significant position in Yinzhou; Prince NanAn and Princess NanAn personally hosted the full-month banquet, attracting prominent figures from Yinzhou.
The full-month banquet was lively, with everyone toasting and congratulating Prince NanAn Mansion on gaining a new addition, and Nanyang Marquis Mansion welcoming a young master.
Prince NanAn was toasted by everyone, and he couldn’t be happier.
The only ones who didn’t toast him were Chu Shun and the Heir of Marquis Beining.
Jealousy.
Pure jealousy.
How does Prince NanAn become a father like it’s a coincidence?
He became a father just by saying so.
They have to endure a full ten-month wait.
They’ve been waiting for so long and their child hasn’t been born yet.
And he already has become a father?
The son has already reached the full month?
Chu Shun and the others sat there sipping wine in bitterness, seeing Prince NanAn bragging away.
To think they sympathized with him so much, considering him a brother, when they were all about to become fathers, but he hadn’t even gotten his wife yet.
Initially, Chu Shun was accompanying Prince NanAn, but since Qin Hanhan got pregnant, there was a subtle sense of abandoning Prince NanAn.
Now they truly couldn’t resist wanting to sock him.
After drinking two jars of wine, Prince NanAn took the opportunity to sneak a peak at his son, and the more he looked, the more he liked him.
Over an hour later, the full-month banquet began to disperse.
When all the guests had left, Chu Shun and others dragged Prince NanAn into a corner and gave him a beating.
After the beating, they clapped their hands and left, heading to the street to pick out full-month gifts for their nephew.
Prince NanAn drank quite a bit; whether drunk or sober, he wasn’t a match for Chu Shun and the other three.
Beaten until bruised all over, they showed no mercy.
Princess NanAn saw and said, "Why beat him so harshly?"
Prince NanAn winced and said, "They blame me for not informing them earlier that I have a son, and today is the full-month celebration. They came empty-handed and feel awkward..."
He told them he didn’t know either.
Coming to attend his son’s full-month banquet and being stopped for a ticket made him feel even more awkward.
Yet still, he got beaten up.
They are brothers for life; they found a reason already considerate enough. At least he can shift the blame to his parents, to see if they feel embarrassed.
Princess NanAn thought of how she hadn’t informed Marchioness Jingguo either, and wondered if when carrying the grandson back in the upcoming days, they might ignore her?
Prince NanAn, face swollen, went to Nie Yao to help with applying medicine.
Then he played with his son whenever possible, even though the Young Prince spent most of his time sleeping.
But Prince NanAn couldn’t suppress the novelty he felt.
He always wondered what it felt like to be a father, unexpectedly experiencing it so soon.
Prince NanAn habitually poked his son’s cheek; who knows how many times Nie Yao and Princess NanAn smacked his hand.
However, this sense of novelty didn’t last long.
The Young Prince used spitting milk and urination to dampen half of his father’s enthusiasm, and finally a piece of feces made Prince NanAn’s affection for him completely extinguished.
The first time someone dared to wet and dirty him.
After changing into a clean brocade robe, Prince NanAn looked disgustedly at his son bubbling with milk, and said to Nie Yao, "Do you smell anything on me?"
The maids and nurses standing by were twitching their cheeks from holding back laughter.
Yesterday, Prince was full of affection for the Young Prince, loving him to no end.
Now, only a day later, it had all turned to disdain.
But they truly hadn’t seen a Young Master this unlucky, Princess held the Young Prince daily, getting only a few drops of urine on her, but Prince held him briefly and experienced spit-up, pee, and feces.
They also couldn’t understand how Prince held him, loosening the diaper...
Prince felt there should be no odor now; he took two baths and scrubbed four or five times with soap.
He looked at his son lying on the bed, and said to Nie Yao, "We should have a daughter next time. I’ve already arranged for Brother Su’s son to be my son-in-law."
Nie Yao, "...."
Arranged? This isn’t ordering goods; it’s called a betrothal!
Princess NanAn walked in and slapped Prince on the back of his head, "We should have another son."
"What’s the point of having so many sons?" Prince rubbed the back of his head.
Too many sons become common.
The Marquis Mansion is a good example of that.
The other day Father knocked him out, yet neither of his parents seemed scared. Beating really hurts.
Princess NanAn glared at him, "It’s all because of you. Yaoyao will have another son passed to Nanyang Marquis Mansion."
Not knowing he had a son, let alone this matter.
After the beating, Princess NanAn remembered.
Prince, "...."
After Nie Yao gave birth to a son, Marquis Yangnan wanted to keep this great-grandson in the Nanyang Marquis Mansion.
After all, Nie Yao hadn’t been properly married into Prince NanAn Mansion by eight sedan chairs, so technically not acknowledged; plus Nanyang Marquis Mansion lacked an heir to inherit the title, tempting Marquis Yangnan.
Marquis Yangnan, as an honest person, Princess NanAn personally traveled from the Capital City to Yinzhou when Nie Yao was pregnant, loving Nie Yao as much as her own granddaughter.
Not wanting to create envy over a great-grandson with Prince NanAn Mansion, Marquis Yangnan willingly relinquished the chance for the eldest son of the heir Prince, deciding to wait for Nie Yao to have another son, name him Nie in Nanyang Marquis Mansion, and when grown, he inherits the Nanyang Marquis Mansion upon his grandfather’s passing.
Even though inheritance of the Marquis rank exists, it’s significantly lesser compared to a Commandery Prince rank, which Marquis Yangnan worries might displease his great-grandson once grown.
But the legitimate second son is different, sharing rank with legitimate status but not inheritance rights, benefiting both the second great-grandson and Marshal Yangnan.
Could Princess NanAn refuse?
How would they even compete for one?
In truth, Prince NanAn Mansion had let Nie Yao down.
After discussions between Prince NanAn and Princess NanAn, they sent a letter granting the request to Marquis Yangnan.
Princess NanAn eagerly anticipated another grandson, but Prince wanted a daughter.
The Young Prince lay on the bed not knowing he’d already fallen out of favor with his father.
Chu Shun and company arrived to deliver belated full-month gifts.
Spending plenty when stationed in the barracks, they ended up shopping where the ladies marveled.
The three brought a whole wagon of goods; can you believe it?
