Chapter 56: The Stubborn Daughter, the Secretly Happy Father
Return to Shoukang Palace.
The Queen Mother and Aunt Yao took turns holding little Tangbao and strolling around, the little guy exclaiming "Wow" the whole time.
Although the place where the old empress dowager lived was not as luxurious and spacious as the Chenji Palace, it was elegant and quiet, with a faint scent of Buddhist incense, making people feel very comfortable and relaxed.
When we arrived at the side hall where Xiao Tangbao lived, the moment we opened the door, the little guy was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.
On several long rosewood tables, there were eleven sets of Huanghuali wood openwork jewelry boxes filled with various jewelry and head ornaments!
Each of those jewelry boxes is one foot high, with nearly a hundred visible and hidden compartments. The boxes can be nested together, and the compartments are detachable. They are extremely exquisite!
Even the two fish locks of different sizes lying opposite each other on it are all made of pure gold!
It is truly a top-quality product that is rare in the world!
If we say that these were accumulated by the Empress Dowager over the past few decades, it would make sense.
But what about those clothes, shoes, hats and toys of various colors and styles?
Madam Yao looked at the milk ball in her arms and said with a smile, "Don't be surprised, Princess. The Empress Dowager has been preparing these for you since you returned to Prince Qing's Mansion."
"These are just a portion of them. You can use them for now. The Queen Mother said that she will bring the rest back to you when you return home."
Little Tang Bao looked at the old queen mother in shock, "Tang Bao thanks great-grandmother..."
The empress dowager, who was nearly seventy years old and in very good health, smiled and nodded.
He then stuffed a jade token into her arms and said, "If anyone bullies our Tang Bao in the future, Tang Bao can enter the palace at any time with this jade token, and can also enter and leave Great-grandmother's Shoukang Palace at will."
Little Tangbao held the jade token in his hand, pressing it against his heart like a treasure.
She leaned forward and slapped the old queen hard on the face.
Afraid that Aunt Yao would be jealous, she hooked her arms around Aunt Yao's neck and kissed her.
Rain and dew are equally shared!
The two old ladies of similar age looked at each other, laughed "hahaha", and looked up with their heads raised, laughing very heartily. They didn't look like master and servant, but more like a pair of old sisters!
"Gurgle! Gurgle..."
Tang Bao touched her belly and buried her face in Aunt Yao's shoulder embarrassedly.
The Queen Mother and Madam Yao laughed even louder.
"Our precious baby is hungry. Let's go and have dinner!"
As the old empress dowager spoke, she walked towards the dining room. Aunt Yao immediately followed her quickly, holding little Tangbao in her arms.
The servants standing by were all dumbfounded...
The Empress Dowager's daily routine and diet have always been regular and haven't changed for decades. It's not even time for dinner yet!
…
That night, little Tang Bao, who was being served a fragrant bath, was soaking in milky white warm water sprinkled with flower petals. He was fiddling with the wooden duck in the tub with boredom, sighing...
"I don't know what Daddy is doing now? Does he miss Tang Bao?"
"Hmm~ Daddy is so smart, will he find a way to come and see Bao?"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!
Suddenly...
Looking at the merit points that kept rising in his mind, little Tangbao blinked his big eyes, a little confused.
Um?
Hasn't the relief work for the people been completed? I heard that the porridge stalls were about to be demolished, so how come there are so many merits?
How strange? ! !
But it's good to have a good deed. She was just worrying about where to find a doctor who could understand her mother's prescription and make pills for her father.
If she still can't find it, she can learn skills from Father Xi in exchange for a reward that can cure her father's illness!
She never exchanged for ox-hide candies again. Uncle Chengfeng secretly bought her a lot of ox-hide candies, and Tang Bao's teeth hurt from eating so much of them.
"Accumulate merit! Accumulate merit!"
"Only by accumulating merit can you help Daddy!!"
On the roof, the handsome, almost demonic, always stern man slightly raised the corners of his lips.
It turns out that the little thing was always shouting about doing good deeds to accumulate merit, just to help him?
Prince Qing felt warm in his heart, and the feeling of annoyance that had been lingering in his heart disappeared in an instant.
In the courtyard, the old queen mother looked at the bedroom where little Tangbao was from afar and chuckled, "Ayao, Che'er is here. Let the people in Tangbao's room go down first."
Not long after, little Tangbao was wondering why the palace maids suddenly left... Prince Qing walked in leisurely with Chuntai.
"Daddy?!" The little guy subconsciously wanted to stand up, but suddenly remembered that he was not wearing any clothes. His little butt sank down, and he sat down firmly again. "Girls take a shower, boys must not peek!"
"..." Prince Qing laughed and walked towards the innermost bedroom carrying a large bag of things.
Tang Bao stretched her neck and stared at his back. When she saw her father disappeared as soon as he turned around, she became anxious. She stood up from the water and shook her little arms towards the person opposite.
"Sister Chuntai, hurry up and help me rub the fragrance. Tangbao has already washed it clean!"
"Is the princess missing the prince?"
"No!" The little guy turned his head away suddenly.
She rolled her eyes, then turned her little head and smiled with her eyes curved.
"Tangbao misses Sister Chuntai too! This is a girl's bedroom, boys can't just go in there casually!"
"Yes! The princess is right! I will quickly rub perfume on the princess, and then we will drive the prince to the small hall!"
“…”
In the magnolia tree in the yard, Chengfeng stood on the branches, leaning against the trunk with his arms around his chest.
From afar, he watched his prince close the door without even looking at him, and snorted angrily.
Didn't he just buy a few pieces of candy for the little princess? Fines like that weren't enough, and now they're not even letting him see the little princess. Why?!
Chengfeng, who was beaten and punished for secretly giving Tangbao candy, had no idea that at this moment his prince was putting candy and snacks into little Tangbao's Qiankun bag behind his and Chuntai's backs.
"Wow……"
"Daddy, didn't you say that eating snacks would make me grow taller and that I shouldn't eat them?"
Tang Bao originally thought that her father had brought her some clothes in a sack, but she didn't expect it to be filled with all the delicious food that he and Sister Chuntai usually didn't let her eat! ?
"You can eat less before returning home, but don't forget to eat well and brush your teeth carefully."
Prince Qing packed his things without even looking up, and at the end he did not forget to put a few bottles of digestive pills into his Qiankun bag.
After the little girl tied the bag, he quickly stuffed her into the quilt and patted her gently to coax her to sleep.
He couldn't stay here for too long, otherwise it would be troublesome if the emperor found out. He might even have to be imprisoned in the Internal Security Bureau and punished for a few days.
"When Daddy is away, take good care of yourself. If you still feel uneasy sleeping at night, go find the dog... go find your royal grandfather."
"His sins of murder are greater than mine. Ordinary demons and monsters dare not even approach him... Do you remember that?"
"I remember it, Tangbao, Tangbao remembers it..." The little guy said this and fell asleep with his eyes closed.
Looking around, Prince Qing immediately took out a soft pillow and put it into the baby's quilt. He skillfully pulled the little one's arms and legs onto the pillow and asked her to hold her.
Little Tangbao seemed to have found someone to rely on. He immediately hugged the soft pillow tightly, and rubbed his injured little face back and forth on it a few times.
Looking at the bruise on the little thing's forehead, Prince Qing frowned and clenched his fists.
No matter who hurt his precious daughter, he would get it back tenfold or a hundredfold!
Prince Qing was already wearing night clothes. After leaving Shoukang Palace, he took Chengfeng and Chuntai and headed for Chenji Palace.
