494: Even babies aren't easy to fool.
"Haha... let's go, back home. Your Royal Father bought you gifts," Duan Zhengchun said with a smile, leading everyone back.
Dao Baifeng looked at the scene before her, a happy smile gracing her face.
The Duan Family, this time, was truly flourishing in their generation.
Although there still weren't many male heirs, there were three now.
She believed there would be more in the future, and she could still bear children. If she gave birth to another son for the Duan Family then, her position would be even more unshakeable.
"Your Royal Highness must have had a tiring journey. Should I address these three as my younger sisters?" Dao Baifeng looked at Duan Zhengchun with a smile.
Her gaze, however, flickered towards Huang Rong, Invincible East, and Moon Invitation.
These three, in terms of temperament and appearance, were in no way inferior to her.
Since Duan Zhengchun brought them home, their identities were self-evident.
"Haha... Phoenix still understands this King best. Come, let me introduce you to your new sisters."
"This is Huang Rong, daughter of the Eastern Heretic Huang Yaoshi, one of the Five Greats of the Great Song Dynasty."
"As for this one, she is the Sun Moon Holy Cult Leader, Invincible East, formerly known as Dongfang Bai."
"And this is Moon Invitation, the Grand Palace Mistress of Yihua Palace."
When Duan Zhengchun first revealed Huang Rong's identity, Dao Baifeng wasn't too surprised, but upon hearing the identities of Invincible East and Moon Invitation, a look of astonishment immediately appeared on her face.
"Your Royal Highness, what methods did you use to actually trick these three heavenly proud daughters into your hands?"
"Three younger sisters, tell your elder sister honestly, did he use any despicable methods?" Dao Baifeng feigned a serious expression as she looked at the three.
Huang Rong could tell that Dao Baifeng was deliberately saying this to support them.
However, she couldn't take it seriously; if she did, she would truly fall for it.
"Oh, elder sister, you don't know how His Royal Highness bullied us when you weren't around."
"You must uphold justice for us!" Huang Rong stepped forward, pulling Dao Baifeng's hand and pouting.
This was the perfect time to get closer to Dao Baifeng, the legitimate wife, and she certainly wouldn't miss such a good opportunity.
Huang Rong winked at Invincible East and Moon Invitation, and the two immediately understood.
"Yes, elder sister, you don't know how His Royal Highness bullied us back then," Invincible East said, coming to Dao Baifeng's left side and pouting.
This scene somewhat dumbfounded Duan Zhengchun. Was this still the Ruthless and cold Cult Leader Dongfang, who killed without batting an eye?
He hadn't expected her to have such a girlish side.
Moon Invitation's personality wouldn't allow her to make such gestures, but she still came to Dao Baifeng's side, her attitude clearly showing that they were on the same side.
"No, you guys just sold this King out?" Duan Zhengchun looked at the three with a stunned expression.
"Hmph, the three of us are no match for you, so we wouldn't dare do anything to you, Your Royal Highness."
"We can only ask elder sister to uphold justice for us," Huang Rong said, looking at Duan Zhengchun with a fierce yet childish glare.
"That's right, elder sister, you must uphold justice for us!" Invincible East nodded.
"Don't worry, elder sister will definitely uphold justice for you. I'll punish him by forbidding him from sharing a room with you for three years," Dao Baifeng said solemnly.
"Ah?"
Not only Huang Rong, but everyone present was stunned.
Was Dao Baifeng punishing them, or punishing Duan Zhengchun?
Duan Zhengchun could refrain from touching them for three years, but he could find new lovers outside.
But they couldn't; they only had Duan Zhengchun in their hearts, and there was no room for other men.
It was at this moment that Huang Rong realized that Dao Baifeng wasn't upholding justice for them at all; she was clearly tormenting them!
Three years without sharing a room with Duan Zhengchun? By then, these few would probably have at least a second or third child, while they would still only have one, and thus even less say in the Prince's Mansion.
Although she also believed Duan Zhengchun wouldn't show favoritism, she didn't want to fall behind in this matter, and she wasn't incapable of bearing children.
"Oh, good, good! Then I'll sleep with Royal Father tonight!" Duan Ningyu clapped her hands excitedly.
"Me too, me too!" Duan Haoran stepped forward, pulling on Duan Zhengchun's pant leg.
"Me too, me too!"
Suddenly, over a dozen Infant Boys surrounded Duan Zhengchun, clamoring to sleep with him.
At this, everyone present got a headache.
Especially Dao Baifeng and Qin Hongmian, who hadn't seen Duan Zhengchun for over half a year and longed to be close to him.
If all the Infant Boys wanted to sleep with Duan Zhengchun, what would they do?
"Alright, you little rascals, don't pester your Royal Father anymore."
"Your Royal Father is tired from his journey; let him rest for two days first, then he'll sleep with you later," Dao Baifeng said at this moment.
With Dao Baifeng speaking, the dozen or so Infant Boys immediately quieted down, each obediently returning to their mothers' sides.
This showed Dao Baifeng's status as the legitimate wife in the Prince's Mansion, and also highlighted how sensible and well-behaved the children were.
"Alright, children, there's no need to be so serious; how old are they?" Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.
Duan Zhengchun's words immediately drew a flurry of eye rolls, with a hint of resentment in their gazes.
At this, Duan Zhengchun felt as if he had daggers in his back. It seemed he had been away for a bit too long this time.
The women at home hadn't had their 'meat' for a long time and were a bit greedy.
They were worried that he might leave again someday, not knowing when he would return, so they wanted to cherish the time they had together.
They also knew that Duan Zhengchun was a man who did great things and couldn't always stay by their side.
Naturally, they wanted to cherish their time together, but they didn't expect the Infant Boys to want to butt in.
This wouldn't do, at least not for the next few days.
"Don't worry about these things. Come, see what fun things Royal Father brought you," Duan Zhengchun said, leading a group of Infant Boys into the main hall.
"Royal Father, what fun things did you bring us?"
"That's right, if it's not fun, we won't want it."
"Don't worry, I guarantee you'll be satisfied," Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.
"Yay, yay! Royal Father, hurry up and take it out, hurry up and take it out!"
"Wait, Royal Father, you don't have anything in your hands. Where are the things? You're not tricking us, are you?"
"That's right, Royal Father, you don't have anything in your hands. You're not tricking me, are you? It's not good to trick children."
"Hehe... you Fool, how could Royal Father trick us?"
"You don't know, do you? Royal Father is amazing; he has something that can hide things he carries, so you can't see it at all," Duan Ningyu said proudly, hands on her hips.
"Big Sister, is what you're saying true?"
"That's right, Big Sister, you can't lie to me!"
"Little Sister, is what you're saying true?" Duan Haoran looked at Duan Ningyu curiously.
"Big Brother, everything I said is true; I saw it with my own eyes!" Duan Ningyu said with a smug expression, which made her other siblings look on with envy.
"Then, Royal Father will perform a magic trick for you," Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.
"Magic trick? What kind of magic trick?"
Over a dozen Infant Boys looked at Duan Zhengchun with anticipation, waiting for the surprise he would bring them.
