Chapter 413: Self-cultivation of a Foodie

This question came a bit out of the blue.

Emperor Mingpei felt a little strange. He held the back of her head with his big hand, let her lie back, and took a look.

Tuanzi's face is round and chubby, usually pink and watery, just like a piece of milk tofu. But now it is slightly red, with big watery eyes, and he looks dull and pitiful.

Emperor Mingpei answered her softly, "I seldom go there."

After a pause, he recalled something and sighed, "I have thought about this before. If I have a son or grandson who is capable, I will abdicate to him and live in the Yangxin Palace for two years. When the situation stabilizes, I will move to another palace."

Xinbao's confused mind couldn't help but shudder, and his eyes widened slightly.

She said to Emperor Mingpei, "Yeah, when Xinbao leaves in the afternoon, you must remind Xinbao to visit the Yangxin Palace."

Emperor Mingpei frowned and tentatively agreed, "Okay."

Xinbao closed her eyes, and Mingpeidi hugged her back. She rubbed her whole face against his face. Maybe she felt it was cool and a little comfortable, so she rubbed it here and there, like a cat.

Emperor Mingpei was so soft-hearted that he patted her back gently and signaled Fang Wuyou to call the imperial physician.

After a while, Zhou Yuanshi came and took a handful of the patient, whispering, "Your Majesty, the young prince is fine. The medicine he prescribed is also suitable for the condition."

Emperor Mingpei asked, "Do you want to apply it?"

The Zhou Court Envoy said, "If it's not too hot, then there's no need to apply cold compresses. It will make your little prince uncomfortable. Wait for him to get some sleep and he'll be fine."

Emperor Mingpei frowned and asked him to go down.

After tossing and turning for a long time, Tuanzi had fallen asleep in a daze, but Mingpeidi was still holding her in his arms and couldn't bear to let her go.

Fang Wuyou asked someone to make a thick bed, then he bent over and came over to invite him. Emperor Mingpei glared at him, then he carefully placed Tuanzi on the couch.

Just now, You used a weak voice to ask, "Your Majesty, would you like to order the meal?"

Emperor Mingpei said after a while: "Send it, and put it here."

Cai You dared not say anything. He could only ask someone to place the food in front of the couch so that the emperor could eat while watching his granddaughter.

Because instructions had been given in advance, the imperial kitchen actually made a few desserts, which filled the air with sweet fragrance as soon as they were served.

Emperor Mingpei walked to the table and sat down. He washed his hands and just picked up his chopsticks but hadn't eaten yet when he saw Tuanzi, who had been examined by the imperial physician for a long time but still couldn't wake up, move a little and then slowly sit up.

She was obviously still in a daze, and the look she gave me was dazed. After a long while, she said, "Yeah, why don't you call Xinbao when you eat? How can you eat secretly by yourself?"

Emperor Mingpei: “…”

He quickly put down his chopsticks and looked over. Tuanzi looked aggrieved, with his little mouth pouting... and saliva flowing out.

Emperor Mingpei: “…”

He felt distressed and amused, and tried to call her: "Xinbao?"

Tuanzi shook his little head vigorously, perhaps feeling that he was not quite awake, and shook it back and forth like a rattle for a long time.

She felt more awake and murmured, "Is there not enough food? Then Yeye, eat it. Xinbao is not hungry."

He even sucked his saliva.

Emperor Mingpei was tormented by this little joker, and his mood was mixed. He said with both anger and joy: "Enough! Enough for my beloved baby to be full!"

As he spoke, he wrapped Tuanzi in a blanket, carried her to the table, and motioned for someone to feed her.

Chunhua came over tremblingly, blew a mouthful of porridge to cool it down, and then fed her a small spoonful.

Everyone stared at Tuanzi.

Unexpectedly, although Tuanzi was confused, he was not confused when eating. He chewed it with his little mouth, swallowed it, and opened his mouth.

Emperor Mingpei was overwhelmed by his granddaughter's cuteness. Chunhua also hurriedly continued to feed her, trying to feed her some date cakes and some rice. Tuanzi was also able to eat it. After eating for a while, he became a little more energetic and commented happily: "It's delicious."

Chunhua quickly fed her another spoonful.

After finishing the meal, Tuanzi's eyes curved with satisfaction, and he fell asleep again on the couch.

Emperor Mingpei acted as a human chair the whole time, not eating a single bite. Fang Wuyou had already asked someone to bring another table, whispering, "I heard from someone that this child can eat, which is better than taking medicine."

Emperor Mingpei thought so too, and he felt relieved. After finishing his meal, he had no time to take a nap, so he got up and walked away. After a few steps, he said, "Call the prince over, and when Xinbao wakes up, coax her to take medicine."

Fang Wuyou quickly agreed.

So when Xinbao woke up from his nap, he found his father sitting in front of the couch.

Xinbao is a little bit strange. After waking up, he has transformed into a real dad!

She opened her hands: "Daddy, why are you here?"

Yan Qingshan was reading the medical book. He put the book down and picked up his daughter: "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Tuanzi shook his head: "It's not uncomfortable."

The doctor delivered the medicine on time, but it got cold after a while. Tuanzi didn't avoid taking the medicine, but just asked, "Where's Tangtang?"

"It's ready, Your Highness," Chunhua showed her the candy in her hand, "Your Highness, you can have the candy after you drink the medicine."

Xinbao then held Yan Qingshan's big hands with both hands, closed his eyes, and drank the medicine heroically.

Chunhua quickly wiped her mouth and stuffed a piece of candy into it. Xinbao took a moment to relax, and when the bitterness subsided, she opened her eyes and asked her father, "Why are you here?"

Yan Qingshan said: "Your Emperor Yeye asked me to come."

Xinbao asked, "Why did you come here?"

He said, "Give Xinbao the medicine."

Normally, this kind of thing should be done by the child's mother, but Emperor Mingpei couldn't call his daughter-in-law over, and he didn't want to send the child back, so he simply called his son over.

But since he was summoned, Emperor Mingpei called him into the study and talked for a while.

Emperor Mingpei was not always in the meeting, he also had to review memorials, so he usually summoned people to meet after the morning court, and after lunch he met with people he had not met in the morning. He would spend the rest of the time reviewing memorials and handling other matters. He could also walk around, or summon people for temporary meetings, or receive people who came to report matters temporarily.

There were no ministers in the imperial study at the moment. Xinbao had had a good sleep and was fully revived. Her little face was pink and white again. Emperor Mingpei took her in his arms and took a look at her. He felt relieved and asked someone to bring her some snacks while he chatted with Yan Qingshan.

Emperor Mingpei said, "I have sent Gao Fu over. You are new here, so if you have any questions or want to know anything, feel free to ask him."

Yan Qingshan thanked him.

Emperor Mingpei said again: "Children, tell us what you think."

Yan Qingshan said, "Fan'er wants to go to Yanmen Pass after the age of fifteen, and Rong'er wants to continue studying and take part in the provincial examination. Father has already agreed."

Emperor Mingpei nodded.

He continued, "Chang'er is really a reckless person, and he is not very good at studying. I wanted to ask him to join the army, but he accidentally became Shen Shouyan's disciple. Shouyan will come to the capital next year. I think it would be better to let him learn martial arts for a few years first. I wonder if it will work."

Emperor Mingpei did not comment.

Yan Qingshan continued, "Sheng'er only studied for two years, but he is also not good at this. On the contrary, I taught him some business skills in the past, and he understood it immediately... Now that our status is different, I can't just follow my children's wishes. I really have no idea what path he should take."

Of course, he didn't really have no opinion, but he couldn't say it! What he said didn't count! Yan Qingshan continued, "The fifth and sixth children have just started to learn, so I'll have to ask you to find a master for them next year so they can continue their studies. As for Xinbao, she's still young and her body hasn't recovered yet. She's smart and well-behaved, and she's gifted with magical skills. She doesn't need to be raised like an ordinary child. If you don't mind, let her bother you for a few more years. If it can relieve your worries a little, it will be a filial piety on your behalf."

Emperor Mingpei had a smile on his face.
