The Farm Girl's Charismatic Fortune-Chapter 390 - 386: If Sister Says So, It Is So

Ruo Xuan’s two children, unlike others, didn’t cry all day after they were born.

They were very easy to care for—spending their days either eating or sleeping.

When hungry, they didn’t wail loudly, but just cried out twice to alert the adults that they were hungry or needed a diaper change.

Everyone in the family could distinguish which cry meant hunger and which meant a diaper change, and it was different between the older and the younger child.

Xuanyuan Que, who disliked outsiders, had taken care of the three of them by himself when Ruo Xuan was confined to childbirth in the palace.

After the confinement, upon return to the residence of the Ninth Prince, the children were mainly cared for by Yuhua during the day, with help from the Empress Dowager, Lei Popo, and people from the Liu family.

At night, the children were cared for by Xuanyuan Que and Ruo Xuan.

Everyone thought caring for two children would keep them busy, but it turned out not to be so—they were surprisingly idle.

They even scrambled to take care of the children when they were awake.

No wet nurse was hired; Ruo Xuan breastfed them herself.

Xuanyuan Que still prepared different foods every day to nourish her and the children.

On their full-moon celebration, after Ruo Xuan had fed the two children, she only then remembered that they hadn’t been named. Everyone had been calling them brother and sister.

"Xuanyuan, we haven’t named our children yet," she said.

Xuanyuan Que nodded. He had been considering names for the children since she had become pregnant, but he had yet to settle on a pair that satisfied him.

Fearing to name this flower but still unsatisfied, Xuanyuan Que asked anyway,

"Have you thought of any names for them?"

Ruo Xuan hadn’t thought of their names, but naming should be simple, right? Couldn’t she just pick names based on what she liked? Ruo Xuan had many things she liked!

But what she loved most was sunlight and absorbing the Sun and Moon Essence. Moreover, since Divine Lord Xuanyuan was full of a sunny aura and they were his children, Ruo Xuan suggested, "How about brother Xuanyuan Sun and sister Xuanyuan Yueliang?"

Lying in the cradle, the brother: "..."

Lying next to her brother, the sister: "..."

Both in their minds simultaneously: "We don’t want that!"

Ruo Xuan: "..."

The children were dissatisfied, but Xuanyuan Que felt that Ruo Xuan had made great progress in naming. She had given names to her two cousins before that were too embarrassing to even mention!

At least they were nothing like "Big Fat Pig" anymore.

Since she liked the sun, Xuanyuan Que couldn’t be bothered to think further and suggested, "How about the sister be called Ruo Xi, and the brother Xuanyuan Lie? Xi as in dawn, Lie as in intense sun."

Ruo Xuan felt that Xuanyuan Lie sounded better than Xuanyuan Sun, and Ruo Xi sounded better than Xuanyuan Yueliang. Plus, they shared the same surname as hers, of course that was good!

So Ruo Xuan asked the two little ones, "Brother, what do you think of the name Xuanyuan Lie? Sister, do you think Ruo Xi sounds good?"

The mini version of Xuanyuan Que replied in his mind, "Acceptable."

Much better than Xuanyuan Sun!

Mini version of Little Xuanhua: "It sounds good! I also like the morning sun."

So Ruo Xuan, with a flick of her hand, declared, "Then the brother shall be called Xuanyuan Lie, and the sister, Ruo Xi."

No sooner had the names been decided for the little ones than the emperor also granted names to them: the brother Xuanyuan Zixu, and the sister Xuanyuan Ziyue, with "Yue" rhyming with "moon", fittingly representing the sun and the moon.

Ruo Xuan turned to Xuanyuan Que, "Why do I think Xuanyuan Zixu and Xuanyuan Ziyue also sound very good?"

Xuanyuan Que, knowing her to be indecisive, said, "Then let their courtesy names be Ruo Zixu and Xuanyuan Ziyue."

Thus, both children were given surnames from both parents.

Only then did Ruo Xuan remember, aside from names, they could also have courtesy names!

And aside from names and courtesy names, they could also have styled names!

Ruo Xuan said, "Then let’s call them Little Sun and Little Moon!"

The two children: "..."

So, the mother really had to give them names related to the sun and moon before she would give up?

The mini version of Xuanyuan Que pleaded to his real dad, "Father, shouldn’t our names sound more awe-inspiring?"

The mini version of Little Xuanhua also sought help from her real dad, "Father, shouldn’t Mother read more books? Won’t you teach her?"

Xuanyuan Que completely ignored the two disheartened children and said to Ruo Xuan, "As you wish."

Thus, Ruo Xuan joyfully picked up the two children and headed outside, "Little Sun, Little Moon, Mother is taking you to play with everyone, tell them you have names now." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

The two kids turned their heads towards their real dad while in Ruo Xuan’s arms, "Father, help! I don’t want to be called Little Sun/Little Moon."

Xuanyuan Que simply ignored them.

Haven’t they known their mother for eleven months? Didn’t they understand that their mother never gave up until she achieved her goals?

Years of experience taught him: It’s no use talking more, complying with that flower’s wishes might bring some peace.

One day, the two children would understand that their mother was always right, this was the truth!

Thus, amid calls of Little Sun and Little Moon, the two children safely, healthily, and happily reached their first birthday.

On New Year’s Eve, Ruo Xuan prepared longevity noodles for Xuanyuan Que and the two siblings as birthday gifts.

Xuanyuan Que, with the two children who could walk and talk on their first anniversary, made Ruo Xuan dumplings shaped like rabbits and goats.

Although the two little ones could walk and talk, making detailed movements was still a bit challenging.

After all, they had started developing Spiritual Wisdom while in the womb, so their intellectual development was much faster than ordinary children’s, but their bodies were still ordinary.

Xuanyuan Lie was very serious as he worked; he had already made a rabbit, though not perfectly, it had an adorable charm, and was now making a goat.

Ruo Xi, having pinched a little white rabbit for a long time that still didn’t resemble one, couldn’t help but say, "Father, doesn’t Mother like the sun and moon?"

Xuanyuan Que: "Yes."

Ruo Xi then said, "Then brother makes the rabbit and goat, and I’ll make the sun and moon!"

Xuanyuan Que, not wanting to make it too hard for his daughter, said, "All right."

So, Ruo Xi took the lump of dough she had been pinching for a long time, unable to shape it into a rabbit, rolled it into a ball, and the sun was done!

Then she rolled another ball, flattened it, and the moon was done!

"Father, I’m done!"

Xuanyuan Lie glanced at the little meatball and little meat patty, unable to help himself, "Aren’t you being a bit insincere?"

Ruo Xi: "How am I not being sincere? I’ve made both of us and am giving them to Mother to eat, isn’t that sincere? Brother, your’s lack sincerity, you just do as Father says, without any new ideas. Mother is tired of eating dumplings shaped like rabbits and goats every day!"

Xuanyuan Lie: "..."

It seemed to make sense, he couldn’t find the words to refute!

But he clearly worked more seriously and diligently than his sister, who was clearly impatient and trying to cut corners, how did it turn out that he was the insincere one?

Xuanyuan Lie looked at Xuanyuan Que, "Father, is that so?"

Xuanyuan Que: "Hmm, if your sister says so, then it is."

Thus on New Year’s Eve, the day the family of four celebrated their birthdays.

Ruo Xuan ate the dumplings made by Divine Lord Xuanyuan and the two children as birthday presents.

They ate the longevity noodles that Ruo Xuan had made for them.

From then on, every year, those dumplings and three bowls of longevity noodles never missed their presence in their lives.
