Shen Huaiting and Mu Rufeng refused in unison. How could their daughter have someone else's surname?
Yuan Chen's brows twitched and he said: "I think this proposal is good. In this way, the child will have two parents to love him. Wouldn't it be better?
Look at Xiao Ce, his daughter’s surname is Yuan, and he doesn’t have any objections? Don’t you even have the courage of Xiao Ce?”
Shen Huaiting and Mu Rufeng choked and looked at each other.
Although the two of them were officials in the same court and were as close as brothers, due to some things in their previous lives, they inevitably competed with each other.
Especially when it comes to robbing my daughter, I won’t let anyone do it.
Shen Huaiting spoke first: "It doesn't matter what I say. I have to ask Tong Niang what she means. As long as she agrees, I have no objection."
Seeing what he said, Mu Rufeng naturally did not fall behind others and said, "I also want to ask Ruyi."
Yuan Chen waved his hand and said, "Go and ask."
After sending the two of them away, Yuan Chen looked at the sisters and said with a smile: "These two little girls are very lucky."
No matter what the children are called, they have two fathers and two mothers, and are loved by many people.
Yuan Chen glanced at Yi'er, then reached out and patted his head and said, "You have to protect your sister, you know?"
Yi'er nodded, his eyes falling on the little girl from the Mu family, looking a little thoughtful.
Not long after, Shen Huaiting and Mu Rufeng came back.
They asked their wives and they had no opinion on the child's surname.
Yuan Chen said: "Since I have no opinion, then it's settled."
He pointed at Shen Huaiting's daughter and said, "This girl's name is Mu Yun'an, and her nickname is Yan Yan."
When Mu Rufeng heard this name, the father's love in her heart overflowed. Looking at Shen Huaiting's daughter, she felt closer to her than her own daughter.
Shen Huaiting's daughter's surname is Mu. Speaking of which, he is also Yi'er's father-in-law.
After figuring this out, Mu Rufeng was so happy that she almost hugged little Yanyan and gave her a kiss.
Yuan Chen said to Shen Huaiting: "Please give this little girl a name.
Mu Rufeng's talent is not as good as yours, and he can't think of a nice name for his daughter."
The corners of Mu Rufeng's lips twitched, but she had no words to refute. He snorted and said, "Then I'll leave it to Mr. Shen."
Shen Huaiting thought for a while and said: "Yunxi, Shen Yunxi, Xi. The morning sun is the same. It means brightness and hope. What does General Mu think?"
Mu Rufeng coughed lightly and said, "Just give it a try. Now that you have a big name, I have to take on the nickname."
He looked at his daughter, and a name suddenly popped into his mind: "Just call her Qianqian."
His grandmother's name was Wen Qian, and Qian Qian was named in memory of her, hoping that she would always be remembered.
Xiao Jialan thought the name Qian Qian was very good. She said, "Okay, the name is decided. Qian Qian is the elder sister and Yan Yan is the younger sister."
She looked at the pair of sisters and suddenly felt that she was old.
The future belongs to children, and their lives have just begun.
When the two children were one month old, news spread in the capital that the daughters of Shen Xiang's family and General Mu's family had exchanged surnames.
The people talked about it and thought it was the most bizarre thing in history.
But what is even more strange is that His Majesty sent His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was only four years old, to the residence of Prime Minister Shen.
Of course, it was announced that Shen Huaiting would concurrently serve as the Tutor and teach the Prince.
But everyone around him knew that His Highness the Crown Prince needed guidance.
His only job in Prime Minister Shen's house was to take care of Yan Yan.
