Chapter 288 Family Happiness
Su Zhenzhen looked at Ningxia, the Princess of Chu, who was no longer as cute and lively as she was when she got married, and felt sad. It turned out that childhood sweethearts were unreliable.
She had heard before that King Rong Jinyan of Chu was very satisfied with him as a princess, but she didn't expect that he married a concubine for power, but just didn't let the illegitimate son be born first.
"Greetings, Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law." Princess Ningxia of Chu had an unconcealable sadness between her brows, but she looked calm and composed.
"It's my fifth brother's wife." Su Zhenzhen looked at her with a gentle smile. In fact, she had a good impression of Princess Ningxia of Chu. After all, she had never offended her.
Su Zhenzhen, who is obsessed with looks, just likes to look at beautiful women.
She thought of the fact that Princess Ningxia of Chu's eldest son was about to reach his full moon, and said with a smile: "Is Brother Mu from my fifth sister-in-law's family also about to turn one year old? My fifth sister-in-law gave Chaochao a gift a few days ago, and I have to return the favor when the time comes." She poked Rong Jinchen again, "Husband, remember to remind me." Princess Chu sent a separate gift, which was not counted among the gifts sent by the Chu Palace.
She has to acknowledge this favor.
However, she would not let Chaochao use the gifts given by others, and they were all piled up in the warehouse.
Princess Ningxia of Chu's eyes flashed with envy. She had thought that she could have the same loving relationship with His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu as her fourth brother and his wife. Although not as loving as them, it should be almost the same.
But why did everything change?
The two returned to Weiyang Palace in silence.
Su Zhenzhen felt that the Princess of Chu was unable to see the true nature of the matter and was still acting in such a desperate manner for a man, which was a bit disappointing, although it was not her fault.
Not everyone is born with a broken breast like her and is raised as a boy since childhood.
She had also heard that Prince of Chu Rong Jinyan was going to take a concubine in June of this year. After all, although Su Zhenzhen and Rong Jinchen lived in the mansion, they still had to maintain social interactions and pay attention to the news in the capital and the developments in the court.
It doesn't mean to really let go and not care about anything.
But there was nothing she could do. She was just an ordinary sister-in-law, and she would not be a saint and meddle in other people's affairs.
Hearing the baby voice of little Tangyuan in the main hall, Su Zhenzhen suddenly smiled and held the man's hand tightly, "Husband, our baby is awake."
Rong Jinchen smiled and whispered, "Let's go into the hall quickly." He happened to be carrying little Tangyuan to work, and he had asked for leave from his father-in-law at noon. Anyway, as long as he completed his task, who would care if he was late or left early?
Rong Jinchen also felt that Qingqing could not be allowed to take care of Xiao Tangyuan alone. They could each have one day, or she could come and have lunch with him at noon like today.
By the way, he can also meet his father and let him take little Tangyuan for a nap at noon to enjoy the happiness of family.
In the afternoon, he took Xiao Tangyuan with him and went back to Prince Yan's Mansion together when he got off duty.
Anyway, there are only Rong Jinchen and Su Qiyang in his office, and little Tangyuan is well-behaved. He is the prince and he has the final say.
In the hall, His Majesty Yue was holding little Tangyuan and reviewing memorials. The grandfather and grandson were singing in unison, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Su Zhenzhen was stunned. Little Tangyuan was only one year old!
How come they trust him so much?
Noticing the noise of them coming in, Rong Yue didn't even raise his head and said, "No need for formalities." He looked at Xiao Tangyuan who was interested in the memorial and said in a soft voice, "Chao Chao, do you understand it?" He just said it casually. If Rong Yue really understood it, he would be shocked.
"No!" Little Tangyuan shook his head. He saw Su Zhenzhen and Rong Jinchen sitting on the armchair below, drinking tea and eating snacks. His eyes sparkled, "Daddy! Mommy!" His baby voice was almost flying.
Rong Yue was a little jealous. He looked at Rong Jinchen who took a sip of Dahongpao and put down the teacup, "Everything was fine before you came back, but now you want me to leave you, huh." He reluctantly handed the small glutinous rice balls to Rong Jinchen.
Little Tangyuan hugged Rong Jinchen's neck tightly at this moment, pursed her lips and kissed him on the face, "Daddy, Chaochao~ I miss you so much~" Then she looked at Su Zhenzhen, "Mom~ Chaochao~ I miss you so much~" with a sweet smile.
Su Zhenzhen hugged little Tangyuan and let him kiss her on the face a few times, then kissed his soft and tender little cheeks in return, "Mommy misses Chaochao too. Is Chaochao good? Did you wet the bed?" She rubbed little Tangyuan's little head.
Rong Jinchen took little Tangyuan back into his arms. He was too heavy and he was afraid Qingqing couldn't hold him.
Little Tangyuan leaned skillfully into his father's arms, raised his little feet, and said in a serious and baby voice, "Be good! Chaochao, be good! Don't wet the bed~"
Rong Yue touched his nose and said deliberately, "Chao Chao is the most well-behaved baby I have ever seen. He is a hundred times more well-behaved than Chen Er when he was a child. I took him to take a nap and he peed all over me. Fortunately, Chao Chao still looks like Zhen Zhen. No wonder Zi Yun always showed off to me back then."
Rong Jinchen gritted his teeth and looked at Rong Yue unhappily, "Father, there's no such thing as a third time." Doesn't he have any face?
Rong Yue raised his eyebrows slightly, and seeing Su Zhenzhen's pleading eyes, he felt amused. Did he become the bad guy?
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. Chen'er, how about you leave Chaochao with me now and go back home in the evening?" He looked at the little Tangyuan crawling all over Rong Jinchen's body. His grandfather's heart softened when he saw the lively energy of the little Tangyuan.
Su Zhenzhen didn't say anything, but Rong Jinchen said bluntly, "Your Majesty is very busy, and Chaochao is a chatterbox. He talks a lot, and he disturbs your Majesty from handling government affairs. I have decided to take Chaochao to the Ministry of Revenue to do some work." Looking at Rong Yue who looked unhappy, he softened his tone, "Your Majesty, the weather hasn't been cold for more than a month. Your son and Qingqing will bring Chaochao to the palace to accompany you often. Don't be angry, okay?"
Su Zhenzhen nodded frantically. Her precious baby was really a chatterbox!
What else can Rong Yue say?
He stretched out his hand and waved, "Yu Fuhai." Yu Fuhai replied with a smile: "The servant is here~"
Rong Yue looked at Xiao Tangyuan reluctantly and said, "Go and take all the gifts I prepared for my baby Chaochao to them." He had been rummaging through his private treasury for a long time.
Su Zhenzhen's eyes lit up, and she said affectionately, "I, your son, would like to thank you on behalf of Chao Chao. But you are too partial." Rong Yue's eyes paused, a smile written on his face, "What do you mean?"
She pretended to pinch the little glutinous rice ball's cheek, "It's all because of Chao Chao. Father doesn't love me anymore. In the past, every time I came, Father would reward me with gifts. Humph, biased, unfair." She looked at Rong Yue eagerly, "I'm angry."
Rong Yue laughed heartily. "You clever idiot! Could it be possible that I'd actually forgotten your share?" He knew that Zhenzhen, like Chen'er, wasn't afraid of him and truly considered him a father figure. "Yu Fuhai, tell Zhenzhen, did I put her gift in the same place?" He was just waiting for her to make a scene.
Yu Fuhai nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Princess, His Majesty loves you very much. Don't be jealous of the little prince. He will laugh at you if he finds out." The Princess is affectionate to His Majesty, and His Majesty treats her as his precious daughter, so of course he has to be nice to her.
Su Zhenzhen was reluctantly satisfied and said playfully: "Thank you, father~" Rong Jinchen poked the little glutinous rice ball in his arms and looked at her with a doting smile.
