Chapter of Zhuiyun and Tanyu

After Leng Xing and Zhufeng followed Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng on their long journey, the palace fell silent again.

Zhuo Teng and Shuanghua took care of the affairs in the palace, and Tanyu nursed the child in her own courtyard.

As for Zhuiyun, Yu Zheng left him a task, which required him to spend half a day on the errands every day, and the remaining half a day was spent in the palace washing diapers and coaxing the child.

"Waa, waa..." The big fat boy cried loudly, echoing throughout the courtyard.

Tanyu took care of the child for half a day, feeling tired and annoyed. When Zhuiyun came back, she threw the child to Zhuiyun like throwing a hot potato.

"Huh——" Tanyu lay down on the bamboo chair under the apricot tree, feeling that her waist was about to break, and she didn't want to get up anymore.

She was not the master, and there was no nanny or maid to help her, so she had to do everything herself.

Fortunately, meals are delivered by the kitchen, and Shuanghua will come to help her when she is free, otherwise it would be too much for her to handle it alone.

Since having a child, Tanyu has hardly slept a full night, and has to get up at least two or three times every night to feed the baby. So she feels that the most relaxing time of the day is the afternoon when Zhuiyun is at home.

"Be good, Yan'er, don't cry..."

Just like now, Tanyu is lying leisurely on the recliner, watching Zhuiyun holding the child and coaxing him.

After coaxing the child to sleep and putting him in the cradle next to Tanyu, Zhuiyun went into the house, brought out a basin of diapers, and washed them with well water.

The yard was quiet, and the breeze and birdsong accompanied the sound of Zhuiyun washing diapers. Tanyu yawned and fell asleep with her head tilted.

I don't know how long I slept. When Tanyu woke up, she saw that the diapers had been dried, and Zhuiyun was sitting on a low stool cutting wood.

"What are you doing?" Tan Yu's voice was hoarse as if she had just woken up.

Zhui Yun looked up at her and said with a smile, "I'm making a wooden horse for Yan'er."

In two or three months, the child will learn to walk and will be able to use it soon.

Zhui Yun was a father for the first time and didn't know anything. He asked many elders in the mansion for advice and tried hard to learn to be a qualified father.

This was the first thing he made for his child, and he was very careful and meticulous.

Tan Yu stared at it for a while, then stood up and stretched.

It was already mid-April, and the apricots had turned from green to yellow, and small spots had grown on them.

Tan Yu looked up and couldn't help swallowing, "Are they edible?"

Hearing this, Zhuiyun looked at the apricots on the tree that had just turned yellow, and said truthfully, "We have to wait a little longer."

Tan Yu smacked her lips and said, "I think they are ripe. If you don't believe me, pick two and try them." Zhuiyun

knew that she would not give up until she had a taste today, so he got up and walked under the tree. After taking a good look, he jumped up, plucked two apricots and handed them to Tan Yu.

Tan Yu rubbed the dust off the skin with her hands, and took a bite with expectation.

The next moment, Tan Yu's whole face wrinkled into a ball.

"Ah, so sour!"

Zhuiyun shook his head and laughed, and continued to make a wooden horse.

Tan Yu looked at the apricots in her hand and felt that it was a pity to throw them away. At this moment, the child in the cradle woke up.

The seven or eight-month-old child has begun to taste the flavors of the world. He is full of curiosity and exploration of everything. He wants to take a bite of everything he sees.

"Yan'er, this is an apricot." Tan Yu picked up the child with bad intentions.

The child, who didn't know the dangers of the world, took a bite of the sour apricot fed by his mother, and shook his head because of the sourness.

"Hahaha..." Tan Yu was amused and laughed so hard that he trembled.

Seeing this, Zhui Yun sighed helplessly, and hurriedly wiped the child's mouth with a handkerchief, and fed him some water.

Days passed one by one, and it was May in a blink of an eye.

The wooden horse was basically completed, and Zhui Yun was doing the final polishing and preparing to brush tung oil.

Suddenly, an apricot fell from the tree and hit Zhui Yun on the head.

Zhui Yun picked it up and squeezed it. The flesh was slightly soft, and it was ripe.

The sun has been strong recently, and Tan Yu and the child have been taking a nap in the house.

Zhuiyun took a look at the tree full of yellow apricots, put down his work, flew up the tree, gently pinched each one, and picked a bag of ripe ones.

When Tan Yu woke up and came out with the child, she saw the apricots on the stone table at a glance, and her eyes lit up immediately.

"Are they ripe?" Tan Yu walked over quickly, smiling happily.

Zhuiyun nodded.

The apricots were washed and placed on a plate. The orange-yellow apricots looked particularly pleasing to the eye, and exuded a sweet fruity fragrance, which was very tempting.

Tan Yu picked up one and brought it to his mouth. It was soft and juicy, sweet and delicious.

Well, it was as sweet as last year.

"Yan'er, try it, it's delicious." Tan Yu fed the apricot to the child.

Although babies have poor memories, they will always have impressions of things that happened not long ago and that are particularly memorable. Immediately, his head tilted back with a look

of rejection on his face. "It's not sour this time..." Tan Yu coaxed him persistently.

"Puff--" Taking care of the baby every day, Tan Yu was very familiar with this sound.

The child defecated.

Tan Yu glanced at the child in her arms, then turned her head to look at the half-eaten apricot in her hand, and her expression suddenly became complicated.

"I'll take Yan'er to wash and change diapers." Zhuiyun came over and took the child away.

A moment later, when Zhuiyun came out with the child, she saw that the plate on the table was empty. Tan Yu stroked her belly and looked up at the sky.

"I don't know how long it will take for the princess and the others to come back this time."

Zhuiyun asked with understanding: "Are you feeling depressed?"

Since she became pregnant, Tan Yu has not left the palace, which has been more than a year.

Zhuiyun remembered that she used to be a girl who loved to go out and see the excitement.

Looking at Tanyu with longing eyes and a sad face, Zhuiyun said: "If you have nothing to do tomorrow, I will take you out of the house for a walk."

"Really?" Tanyu's eyes lit up immediately.

"Well, you go talk to Shuanghua and ask her to help us take care of Yan'er tomorrow." Zhuiyun has thought it through.

Tanyu nodded and was about to leave.

Zhuiyun reminded: "The apricots I picked are in the basket, take it to Shuanghua."

"Yes, I didn't think of it until you said it." Tanyu realized it later and hurried to pick it up.

The master was away, and there was nothing important to do in the palace. Shuanghua was very free, so she readily agreed to everything Tanyu said.

The next day, Tanyu fed the child and changed his diaper, then handed him to Shuanghua, and left the palace with Zhuiyun with great expectations.

"It's so lively." Tanyu looked at the noisy street, feeling as if she was in another world.

Zhuiyun tilted her head and asked her, "Where do you want to go?"

Tanyu counted on her fingers and said, "Buy rouge, go to the cloth shop, drink tea and listen to books, go to the theater to listen to opera..."

"Okay." Zhuiyun readily agreed and patiently accompanied her to visit one by one.

Tanyu hadn't left the house for a long time, and everything she saw was new to her. Before she knew it, an hour or two had passed.

Tanyu was tired from walking around, so she went to the teahouse to rest and listen to books.

The tea was good, the snacks were delicious, and the storyteller was telling good stories, but for some reason, Tanyu just couldn't listen.

Especially when she heard the storyteller talking about a child who was lost from his mother and crying with hunger because no one was taking care of him, Tanyu could no longer sit still and stood up suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Zhuiyun was puzzled.

Tanyu frowned and said, "Yan'er hasn't been weaned yet, and I'm afraid Shuanghua can't take good care of him."

Zhuiyun said, "He can already eat porridge, and there is milk, so he won't have any problem for a day."

Tanyu shook her head, "No, I have to go back and take a look."

After saying that, Tanyu lifted her feet and left.

Zhuiyun had no choice but to quickly pick up her bags and follow.

"Yan'er." Tanyu hurried back to the palace to pick up the child from Shuanghua.

Shuang Hua looked surprised, "Why are you back so soon?"

Tan Yu saw that she was washing diapers and there was no sign of the child, so she asked, "Where is Yan'er?"

Shuang Hua pointed to the room on the side, "I was tired from playing and just fell asleep." After

hearing this, Tan Yu immediately entered the house and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the sleeping child.

In fact, she knew that Shuanghua would take good care of the child, but she just didn't trust it.

Gently holding the child in her arms, Tan Yu felt that her heart, which had been restless for a long time, instantly settled down.

"Thank you." After thanking Shuanghua, Tanyu returned to her small courtyard with the child in her arms.

The child slept soundly, and Tan Yu put him on the bed again without waking up.

Staring at the sleeping child's face, a loving smile appeared on Tan Yu's face.

After watching for a while, Tanyu went to the outer room to pack the things he bought.

Toys, tiger-head shoes, children's clothes... almost all of them are children's things.

"When Yan'er wakes up, let him try out new clothes and shoes to see if they fit him." Tan Yu muttered as she sorted them out.

Zhuiyun responded and said that the wooden horse could be ridden.

They don't have parents who love them, but their children do.
