The baby cried because she was hungry. After Yu Niaoniao fed her milk, the child stopped crying.
She stayed quietly in her swaddling clothes. Her two small claws were curled in front of her chest, and her small mouth was slightly open. She looked so cute that Yu Niaoniao’s heart was about to melt.
Yu Niaoniao gently pinched the baby’s meaty claws.
The baby’s little fingers moved, and she held his mother’s hand tighter.
Xiao Juan asked softly, “It’s still early. Do you want to sleep a little longer?”
Yu Niaoniao replied softly, “Yes.”
With that, she yawned loudly.
She closed her eyes and prepared to sleep. She suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Xiao Juan.
“There’s still a war on the front line. Is it okay for you to come back suddenly?” Xiao Juan said, “It’s fine. You don’t have to worry.”
She asked again, “Have you thought of a name for the baby?”
Previously, he had thought of many names and felt unsatisfied.
But just now, when he saw the quiet scene of Niaoniao sleeping with the baby, a name suddenly appeared in his heart. “How about calling her Yining?
Yu Niaoniao said, “Yining?”
Xiao Juan said, “It means mountains and rivers are peaceful with the blessings of the heavens!”
Yu Niaoniao thought about it carefully and felt that Yining was a good name.
“Xiao Yining is not bad. I hope her arrival can really bring peace to the mountains and rivers and end this war as soon as possible.”
Xiao Juan said warmly, “Definitely.”
Yu Niaoniao fiddled with the baby’s fingers and smiled. “Did you hear that? From now on, your name will be Xiao Yining.”
The baby was in a daze. She gently kicked her short legs, as if telling her mother to stop fooling around and not disturb her sleep.
Unknowingly, the family of three fell asleep again.
At this moment, no one knew that an urgent secret letter had been sent to Marshal Chen.
That night, a huge change happened in the Chen Nation’s military camp.
Right on the heels of that, they began to pack their luggage and retreat overnight.
All of this happened too quickly. By the time Tang Guixi learned the news, the Chen Nation’s army had already retreated more than 30 miles.
Tang Guixi was at a loss, not understanding what the Chen Army was doing.
Yesterday, the Chen Nation Army was clearly fighting the Eastern Expedition Army in full swing. Why had the Chen Nation Army disappeared in just a night?
The deputy general was excited. “General, the Chen Army has withdrawn. Does that mean that we won this battle? Are we going to guard Heng City in the future?”
Tang Guixi raised her hand, indicating that he should not be happy too early.
Something was wrong!
She suspected that this might be a trap set up by the Chen Nation Army. For the sake of safety, she asked the entire army to hold back for the time being. In addition, she sent out another team of scouts to chase after the Chen Army.
She wanted to see what the Chen Nation Army was up to.
The scouts went for more than ten days.
The Chen Nation Army did not return.
Tang Guixi was still worried about Yu Niaoniao’s safety. In any case, the Chen Nation soldiers had disappeared. No one would be able to fight for a while, so she took this opportunity to return to Heng City.
After returning to the General’s Mansion, she especially changed into clean clothes before running to visit Niaoniao and the baby.
Unlike the red and wrinkled appearance when she had when she was first born, the baby had already become fair and tender, like a soft white dough. Her eyes were very similar to her mother’s, round and sparkling. Tang Guixi liked her very much and asked expectantly.
“Can I hug her?”
Yu Niaoniao handed over the child in her arms and patiently told her how to carry it.
Tang Guixi carefully carried the baby over.
Such a young child was soft and cute.
Tang Guixi hugged the child lovingly. After a while, she returned the child to Niaoniao.
“Have you named this child?”
Yu Niaoniao wiped the drool from the baby’s mouth with a handkerchief and said, “We shall call her Xiao Yining. Ah Juan gave her a name.”
Tang Guixi repeated the name a few times and felt that it was not bad, so she asked again.
“What about nicknames? Do you have nicknames?”
Yu Niaoniao shook her head. “I haven’t thought about it yet. Why don’t you give your goddaughter a nickname?”
Tang Guixi had been waiting for this sentence! She rubbed her hands together, looking eager.
“Then I’ll have to think about it.’
At this moment, Xiao Juan walked in with a letter in his hand.
“Tang Guixi, this is a letter just sent back by the scouts. They said that they have already found the whereabouts of the Chen Nation’s soldiers.”
Tang Guixi could only reluctantly look away from her goddaughter.
She took the letter. Other than her, there were only Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan in the room. They were all on the same side, so there was nothing to avoid. She opened the letter in a few moves and unfolded it. Her expression immediately became very strange.
When Yu Niaoniao saw her expression, she immediately thought of the emoji of Grandpa Metro looking at his cell phone and could not help but be curious.
“What did the letter say?”
Tang Guixi handed the letter to her.
“See for yourself.”
Yu Niaoniao put down the child and took the letter. Her expression became strange.
Xiao Juan sat down by the bed and leaned over to read the letter.
In the letter, the scout said that they chased in the direction the Chen Nation Army had retreated and realized that the Chen Nation Army was not pretending to retreat. Instead, they were really not prepared to fight anymore.
The marshal of the Chen Nation gathered all the troops scattered across Liaodong County.
They were in a hurry and rushed straight to the Chen Nation. It looked like they had really encountered something important.
While retreating, the Chen Army did not forget to steal and plunder all the towns along the way.
Just as Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan were thinking about what was going on, Tang Guixi suddenly slapped her thigh and said excitedly.
“The Chen Nation Army ran away as soon as our little darling was born. This means that our little darling is a natural lucky star. In the future, her nickname will be Fubao (Lucky baby)!”
Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan were stunned.
They did not understand how this matter had anything to do with their precious daughter.
These two clearly had nothing to do with each other.
Yu Niaoniao could not help but say, “This should just be a coincidence.”
Tang Guixi said righteously, “How can there be such a coincidence in the world? This is clearly the credit of our Little Fubao!”
With that, she picked up the baby and kissed her.
Xiao Yining was dumbfounded by the kiss. Her eyes were wide and she looked even cuter.
Xiao Juan said calmly, “Fubao is fine, but there should be another reason why Chen Nation Army suddenly retreated. You should get someone to investigate again.”
Tang Guixi did not care so much.
She hugged Little Fubao and was overjoyed.
“Little Fubao is really too powerful.
Xiao Yining opened her small mouth and smiled toothlessly. She waved her small claws twice.
It was as if she was echoing his godmother’s grand plan.
Yu Niaoniao held her forehead. She was suddenly a little worried about what the child would become when she grew up..
