My Beloved Concubine Only Wants to Eat Melons

Extra Chapter 9

After the initial joy, Yanshu also had some doubts. Was her son really remembering the Classics and Analects that his father taught him, or was it due to some other... reason?

Cough, after all, her son had telepathy...

Perhaps he was just repeating what he heard his father thinking in his mind?

With such doubts, the next day, while Yuwen Lan was away, she decided to test him again.

So she smiled and said to the little one, "Mommy wants to play a game with you, okay?"

The unsuspecting little one nodded innocently and cutely, "Okay."

Yanshu coughed and began to recite.

"The wise are not..."

Of course, with her limited knowledge, she couldn't recite the Classics and Analects as fluently as her son's father, so she had specifically looked up a few books of wisdom beforehand and was now reading from them.

The words had barely left her mouth when the little one immediately responded, "Worried."

Oh, the little one got it right again!

Yanshu's eyes lit up and she quickly continued, "The brave are not..."

The little one immediately said, "Afraid."

She didn't dare to celebrate too soon and quickly changed to another book, randomly finding a sentence, and even covered the following words with her hand as she tried to ask the little one, "The gentleman is harmonious but not?"

Heng'er, "Partial."

Yanshu, "The petty man is partial but not?"

The little one, "Harmonious."

Yanshu, "Poverty does not lose righteousness?"

The little one, "Prosperity does not, leave, the way."

Yanshu, "!!!"

Again, all correct!

For safety, she decided to try one more sentence, "Those who love others?"

The little one, "People, always, love, chicken."

Yanshu, "Those who respect others..."

The little one, "People always respect chicken."

Although there were a few unclear pronunciations, the little one got them all right!

This showed that the son really remembered what his father taught, even though he often fell asleep after a few sentences, the gradual influence really worked.

Yanshu was very excited. After all, her son was only a two-year-old baby!

Never did she expect that such a genius son could come from her, who didn't like studying and spent all day reading novels! This was simply too moving!

"My baby is so good!!!"

The mother hugged her little treasure and kissed him again and again.

The little one was also kissed and giggled, showing his white little teeth and said, "Baby good good!"

The mother and son laughed together for a while, the scene was very warm.

Of course, as an excellent mother, Yanshu immediately realized that just laughing was not enough. Although the little one had talent, he also needed continuous effort.

So she immediately conducted positive guidance and said to the little one, "Since my baby is so good and remembers what daddy taught, let's have roast lamb for lunch to reward you, okay?"

"Lamb!"

The little one immediately clapped and said happily, "Heng'er likes to eat lamb!"

So that noon, the Empress in the Central Palace and the little Crown Prince enjoyed a sumptuous roast lamb feast.

Of course, after the big meal, Yanshu remembered another important matter.

With her son now two years old, from being able to sense her emotions when he was still in swaddling clothes, to now being able to accurately experience others' joys and sorrows, she could almost confirm that the little one had telepathy.

However, being so young, the little one probably couldn't distinguish his special ability, so she, as a mother, also needed to guide her son well.

She tried calling in her heart, "Baby?"

The little one playing with the nine-link ring looked up at her and said, "Hmm."

Yanshu tried, "Did you hear mommy calling you?"

The little one nodded, "Hmm, mommy called baby."

Yanshu was relieved.

This showed that her son indeed had telepathy, and the little one currently couldn't distinguish the difference between the words in people's hearts and the words spoken out loud.

She then said to her son, "Besides mommy, if others don't speak out loud to you, just listen quietly and don't answer, okay?"

The little one seemed a bit confused and thought for a while, asking, "Why?"

Yanshu said, "Because others can't hear the words in people's hearts like you, this is a special ability that only you have. If others find out, they might want to take it away."

The two-year-old little one, currently in a very possessive phase, immediately hugged himself with his chubby little hands and said seriously, "Can't take!"

Yanshu quickly comforted, "Daddy and mommy will protect you, so no one can take away your ability, but you also shouldn't let others find out, okay?"

The little one nodded understandingly.

Yanshu stroked the little one's head and sighed inwardly. Having such a powerful ability from a young age wasn't an easy thing.

She would certainly protect her child well, but she was also afraid that if the wrong people found out, they might use the innocent child for evil.

Fortunately, the current palace environment was good, with everyone around being kind and honest.

As the child grew older and understood right from wrong, everything would be fine.

Seeing that her efforts were not in vain, Yuwen Lan became even more motivated to educate his son. He continued to use the gradual influence method, teaching his son a few wise sayings every night and trying to explain them in a way that a child could understand.

Of course, with the busy court affairs, he still mostly had to spend time with his son in the evenings, reviewing what was learned the previous day and teaching a few new sentences.

However, the little one, as before, often fell asleep after hearing no more than five or six sentences, sleeping very soundly.

Yuwen Lan believed that this must be because the little one was tired from playing during the day.

And he wasn't worried at all, after all, his son had been sleeping like this since he was born, and he still remembered everything he should.

Anyway, it's a matter of accumulation, his son is doing great.

However, speaking of which, the Empress Dowager had been "dead" for over two years, and the mourning period was almost over. Since his son was so outstanding, maybe...

Have another one or two more?

Of course, after witnessing the birth of his eldest son last time, he had deeply realized that childbirth was still a difficult task for women, so regarding this matter, he still had to consider Yanshu's opinion.

Late at night, with such expectations, the monarch entered the Central Palace.

As usual, his beloved wife and son were snuggling in bed reading novels.

His wife and son both looked freshly bathed, with pink faces and slightly damp hair.

Especially the little one in his clean nightclothes, looking exceptionally cute.

Seeing him come, the little one was also very happy, bouncing over to greet him, "Heng'er greets father."

Yuwen Lan's heart softened, and he quickly picked up the little one, asking gently, "What did my baby do today? Do you miss daddy?"

The little one nodded seriously, "Baby misses daddy, and eats, plays."

Yuwen Lan nodded, "Putting daddy first, baby is a filial child."

As he thought this, he couldn't help but wonder, if they had another child, would it be as cute as the little one?

He didn't know if the little one wanted a brother or a sister?

Just as he was thinking this, the little one in his arms suddenly said, "Brother, sister."

Yuwen Lan: "..."

Could it be that the little one heard what he was thinking?

Oh, right, he almost forgot, his son seemed to have inherited his telepathy.

Tsk, back then, even Yanshu couldn't hear his thoughts and had to touch her stomach to do so, but the little one could hear it right away?

Hmm, indeed a smart child, perfecting his telepathy to such a level.

While he was silently proud, Yanshu was also secretly pondering—

Hearing her son's words, did that mean someone wanted a second child?

Hehe, actually, she wanted one too.

During the New Year's festival, some ministers' family members brought their little granddaughter to pay their respects, and the pink and tender little girl was so adorable.

If she had a daughter, she would dress her up every day, combing her hair into beautiful braids, wearing pretty little dresses...

Thinking of this, she wanted a daughter even more!!!

And Yuwen Lan, who overheard quietly, also nodded in his heart.

Yes, now that they already had a son, if heaven could bless them with another daughter, that would be even better.

So he asked the little one, "Do you want a brother or a sister, baby?"

The couple looked at their son together.

The little one thought for a while and giggled, "Want sister."

Yanshu, "???"

Yuwen Lan, "???"

What? The son wanted a sister?

At this moment, the little one repeated very seriously, "Heng'er wants a sister."

Yanshu, "……This is something even Mother can't do."

As she said this, she glanced at Yuwen Lan, who immediately responded, "Then Father definitely can't do it either."
