Chapter 504 – You Want This Imperial Daughter to Call You Sister-in-Law? (1/2)
You Want This Imperial Daughter to Call You Sister-in-Law?
Normally speaking, a newborn child would be a bit yellow, and it would be hard to tell if their skin was light or dark, but if the skin color was too dark, some clues could still be seen.
Feng Jin Yuan was currently staring at the newborn baby boy in the hands of the midwife. The more he looked, the more he frowned. When Feng Yu Heng came out, he was even more direct with asking her: “This is the child that Han shi gave birth to?”
Feng Yu Heng laughed, “What is it, do you not even recognize your own son?”
Feng Jin Yuan waved his hand, “That’s not what I mean. I am saying, why is this child so dark?”
As for whether the child was light- or dark-skinned, Feng Yu Heng had already prepared herself mentally. In fact, she had prepared herself before this child was even born.
During the severe Winter, Han shi was extremely audacious and went to make use of a seed. It’s easy to imagine that boss Yue usually uses a large amount of white makeup. Under that makeup, however, was darker skin. It was just that he usually applied a thick layer of makeup. Even when he got off the stage, he would not completely remove his makeup. Even in his daily life, he was accustomed to wearing a thick layer of makeup. Because he was an actor, people would not think that it was particularly odd. Because he always kept a mask on, Han shi had no clue what sort of person boss Yue was. Whether he was dark-skinned or light-skinned, or whether he was loyal or a traitor.
Of course, he was not too dark-skinned. He was just darker than the average person, but Feng Jin Yuan was a very light-skinned person. He was the typical light-skinned scholar. Han shi was also a beauty with white skin with some pink showing through. It had to be said that if the two combined, unless there was a genetic mutation, the chances of a dark-skinned baby were less than one in one million.
But the world was unpredictable, and an actor got in the middle.
Back when Xiang Rong had fallen into the water, Feng Yu Heng had sent people to investigate. That actor’s original face could not escape Ban Zou’s eyes. That was why she waited and gambled. She gambled on the 50 percent chance that the child looked likes its father. She wanted to deliver a blow at Feng Jin Yuan’s foundation.
Currently, everything had gone as she had desired. The child was born with very dark skin. Although he was quite adorable, he did not resemble Feng Jin Yuan in the slightest. Feng Jin Yuan looked at this child with an extremely tangled feeling. After asking Feng Yu Heng for the reason, Feng Yu Heng did not reply properly. Instead, she also became puzzled with him: “That’s right, it really is odd. Father and concubine mother are both light-skinned people. How is it that younger brother is so dark?” While saying this, she glanced at An shi then said: “This truly is odd. Daughter has studied medicine from a young age and has never heard of two light-skinned parents having a dark-skinned child.”
An shi was ready to take the hint and understood that Feng Yu Heng was creating an opportunity for her. She immediately went to provide help: “It’s not just dark. Look at the child’s eyes. Why are they so small? Husband and younger sister both have large eyes, yet this child was born with proper phoenix eyes. It really is odd.”
With An shi saying this, everyone turned to look at the child’s eyes. Looking like this, the child really did have phoenix eyes. His eyes were long, and they slanted up at the outside extending from the outer corner of the eyes to the temple. It was indeed quite beautiful, but it did not resemble Feng Jin Yuan or Han shi.
Fen Dai was a little panicked and did not understand why she felt panicked. She basically subconsciously rushed forward and pushed aside the crowd, pulling the child into her own embrace and protecting him. At the same time, she loudly said: “Nobody is allowed to touch my younger brother! What sort of nonsense are you saying? This child is still so young. Can the color of its skin and appearance be seen? An shi, do not confuse people otherwise father will not forgive you!”
It seemed that An shi was a little afraid and took a couple steps back, looking at Feng Jin Yuan: “It was husband that said that the child was born with dark skin!”
Feng Jin Yuan snorted and looked at the child then at Fen Dai. Just as he was about to say something, Fen Dai said: “Daughter has already sent someone to inform the Li Palace. His Highness the fifth prince will most likely send the congratulatory gifts tomorrow morning.”
Whether or not congratulatory gifts were sent was not something that Feng Jin Yuan cared too much about, but he understood what Fen Dai’s words meant. They were reminding him that with the support of the fifth prince, as long as Feng Fen Dai acknowledged this child, the Feng family would need to acknowledge it. Right now, he was a person without any status. He could not compare to the future princess of a prince.
Feng Jin Yuan’s heart turned cold, but he still said: “Fen Dai is right. This child has just been born. What can truly be seen.”
Feng Yu Heng smiled and said: “Indeed, but there is still something that I want to ask father on how to handle.”
“Hm?” Feng Jin Yuan furrowed his brow. Intuition told him that anything that Feng Yu Heng brought up would definitely not be anything good. But she had already said it in front of so many people, thus he had no choice but to ask, thus he could only ask: “What is it?”
