Chapter 285 Bringing the Cub into the Palace
Xiao Tangyuan's birthday is on September 17th, and on September 21st, Rong Jinchen has to go on duty after a long absence.
When he went on duty, not only Rong Jinchen himself was not used to it, but Su Zhenzhen and Xiao Tangyuan were also not used to it.
During these three days, Su Zhenzhen and Rong Jinchen weaned Tangyuan. As a little foodie, he didn't have any other reaction. Instead, he ate the slightly salty complementary food with gusto.
Waking up at the usual time, Su Zhenzhen, still half asleep, couldn't feel the familiar warmth of the man beside her. She felt a little aggrieved. After realizing what was happening, she patted her cheek and said, "Su Zhenzhen, you've really been spoiled! What man would stick to his wife all year round?"
After waking herself up, she shook her head and heard the baby voice of little Tangyuan calling "Daddy" outside. She sighed, not knowing how little Tangyuan would react!
She got out of bed, holding her waist, stretched lazily, and opened the door of the room in her pajamas.
Little Tangyuan, held by his nanny, was fair, tender and cute. He hadn't realized that his father wasn't holding him as usual and Gu Heng wasn't there either, so he hadn't reacted yet.
"Greetings, Princess. The young master has already had egg custard this morning." The wet nurse bowed and replied.
She didn't see Manager Gu Heng at the door today, and didn't dare ask. She was just worrying about how to hand the young master over to His Highness, when the princess came out.
"I understand, Luwu, serve the meal." Su Zhenzhen walked inside holding little Tangyuan. The temperature in the capital in late September was still a little low, so she needed to wear two layers of autumn clothes. She couldn't catch a cold.
The small glutinous rice balls are dressed quite thickly, with three layers inside and outside, wrapped tightly, like a solid glutinous rice dumpling.
"Mom, where is Dad?" Little Tangyuan was held in the arms of his sweet and soft mother, smiling brightly, but he didn't see him kissing his dad. His little hands were around her neck, and he looked a little confused.
Su Zhenzhen sat in her seat, holding little Tangyuan in her arms. Lu Wu helped her wash and brush her teeth, and she took the time to comfort her: "Daddy has gone to work, Chaochao, be good, mommy will rinse your mouth first." She used tooth powder specially for cleaning teeth to wash her mouth, and the smell was fresh and natural.
Little Tangyuan didn't make a fuss. Ever since he started growing teeth, his mother and father would use a soft handkerchief to clean his teeth and told him that he wanted to be a clean baby.
After washing up, Su Zhenzhen kissed little Tangyuan's baby cheeks and said, "Daddy is going to make money for Chaochao and mommy. Chaochao and mommy can play together today, okay?" She was glad that little Tangyuan was not a crybaby, otherwise she would have collapsed.
He nodded in confusion, and then was carried by Su Zhenzhen to the dining table outside. Looking at the delicious food, he smiled sweetly, "Mom, let's have dinner~"
Su Zhenzhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She first fed the little Tangyuan some rice rolls without salt but with just a little bit of soy sauce, and then she ate the delicious, chewy rice rolls with the salty and fragrant sauce herself.
Although little Tangyuan was very well-behaved, Su Zhenzhen was a little flustered because she didn't feed him all the time.
I couldn't help but deepen my love for Rong Jinchen. Not everyone can be a nanny!
Normally, Rong Jinchen would get up at 9:00 PM to train in the martial arts field, then come back at 7:00 PM to wash up and take a nap with Su Zhenzhen in his arms.
Then they were woken up by little Tangyuan, and the family of three had breakfast before starting parent-child activities.
After lunch, they took a nap, strolling around the Prince of Yan's mansion, taking walks or playing in the lakeside pavilion, the playground, the back garden, and other places. Then they would watch Rong Jinchen practice martial arts, Su Zhenzhen and him play the zither and flute together, the two of them paint a portrait of little Tangyuan together, the painter paint a portrait of the family of three, and play chess with little Tangyuan in his arms...
After dinner, Rong Jinchen held little Tangyuan and burped him. During this time, Rong Jinchen would read the Four Books and Five Classics to him. After that, he helped little Tangyuan take a bath, and then the two began to tell stories to coax him to sleep.
Around 7pm, after little Tangyuan fell asleep, he was carried back to the east warm room to sleep. The couple spent half an hour chatting and then reading travelogues.
Su Zhenzhen could not fall asleep until twelve o'clock in the morning.
So it's very normal for her to get up at nine o'clock.
Only half an hour after breakfast, Su Zhenzhen was already impatient. She looked at Lu Wu with tears in her eyes. "When will my husband come back?" Oh my God! Why was her son such a chatterbox?
In the past, when the two of them were around, Su Zhenzhen didn't react much. After all, Rong Jinchen was such a good father.
She really doesn't have much patience!
Although Tangyuan is indeed a very good baby, doesn't he talk too much?
Su Zhenzhen really felt a little disgusted!
He also loved to crawl around, and she had to squat and support him while he learned to walk.
He doesn't like servants even if they do.
She really can't handle taking care of a baby with such high demands on her parents!
"Mom...Mom..." Little Tangyuan pointed at the tangram, "Mom~Qiqi~" He smiled happily and pointed at the tangram and looked at her.
Su Zhenzhen's tone instantly became gentle, and she smiled, "Qiqi~" and looked at little Tangyuan with a loving face.
While little Tangyuan was busy playing with the rattle, she looked at Luwu with a tearful look on her face.
Seeing the princess in such a state of collapse, Lu Wu felt pity and tried to hold back her laughter, "Your Highness will be back after he's off duty." It takes an hour to go back and forth from Prince Yan's Mansion to the six ministries where they're on duty, and the lunch break at noon is only an hour.
"Mom, where is Dad?" When little Tangyuan saw the mechanical bird that Rong Jinchen made for him, he couldn't help but look up and ask her.
Compared to before, he hasn't seen his father for a long time!
Su Zhenzhen suddenly had an idea, "Luwu, ask the kitchen to prepare the food. Chaochao and I will go to see my husband at noon." She could just bring the baby into the palace so that she wouldn't be the only one bothered.
Su Zhenzhen knew that she was being pretentious. She liked Xiao Tangyuan being clingy to her, but she didn't have that much patience.
Nowadays, many women do not take care of their children themselves, but leave it to wet nurses and maids.
Because they need to be busy serving their uncles and aunts, taking care of their husbands and children, managing the household, competing for favor and fighting in the family, etc.
From the time Su Zhenzhen was born until now, she has been a little insignificant person. Although she has all the skills that a mistress of a noble family needs to know, Rong Jinchen never gave her the opportunity to display them.
Gu Heng has been managing the Yan Wang Mansion's businesses for many years.
Bai Zhi managed her own business, as did the Daqin Women's School and the Pearl Shop. Because Bai Zhi and Gu Cheng were married, Su Zhenzhen hired her to manage the business on a pro rata basis. They also set a target amount, and if it exceeded, she would receive a proportional share of the profits.
So Su Zhenzhen was really just giving up from the beginning to the end. She had no intention of doing anything earth-shattering.
Coming back to her senses, Su Zhenzhen looked at the little Tangyuan who was looking at her with her watery peach blossom eyes and said softly: "Daddy is in the palace. Chaochao and mother should go to play with daddy and visit Chaochao's grandfather, okay?" Chaochao was one year old now, and he could be taken out to play unless it was freezing cold.
Little Tangyuan's eyes lit up and he said, "Okay." He missed his daddy.
