Invite her? Xu Meier had already run far away, how could she still be invited? This vicious woman! Yuwen Long stared at Mingzhu viciously, gritting his teeth, “Sixth Sister-in-law, is it proper for me to stand here all the time and not be treated as a guest?”
Mingzhu laughed, “My mistake, I was just about to get off the carriage when Eighth Brother blocked me like this. I forgot about it. Please come in.”
After saying that, she gestured for the steward to invite Yuwen Long in, and she herself walked towards Yinghui Hall.
Yuwen Long refused, “Sixth Sister-in-law, where else do you want to hide? Are you feeling guilty?”
Mingzhu was annoyed, “Do I need to tell you when I go to change clothes and wash my hands? What do you want exactly? If you keep causing trouble, I’ll have someone throw you out!”
Suddenly someone said, “His Highness is back.”
Then Yuwen Chu strode in with a serious face, glanced at Yuwen Long with an imposing aura, and then looked at Mingzhu, “What’s going on?”
Mingzhu guessed that he must have figured out the truth before coming, so she walked over and said aggrievedly, “I don’t know what’s going on either. Anyang Wang blocked me at the door and accused me of bullying Anyang Wangfei. He wanted to talk to me about it, but I really don’t know how I bullied her, and he refused to bring her here to talk it out face to face.”
Yuwen Chu looked at Yuwen Long and said calmly, “Eighth Brother, you explain to me. If it’s really Sixth Sister-in-law’s fault, Sixth Brother will arbitrate for you.”
With Yuwen Chu blocking the way, Yuwen Long couldn’t continue harassing Mingzhu, so he had no choice but to follow Yuwen Chu. Mingzhu happily hummed a tune as she returned to Yinghui Hall to wash her face and change clothes. She instructed someone to prepare some delicious food and drinks and then went to play with Zhuangzhuang.
She played around wildly, constantly using her head to bump Zhuangzhuang’s little chest, making him laugh non-stop. Then she rolled around with him on the bed, enjoying herself to the fullest. By the time Yuwen Chu entered, she had already messed up her hair and looked like a madwoman. Unaware of her appearance, she cheerfully beckoned Yuwen Chu to come over and play with her and the child.
Zheng Momo coughed hard and gestured desperately, and Mingzhu finally realized something was wrong. She ran to the mirror and burst into laughter, “His Highness rarely sees me like this, how do I look?”
Yuwen Long was right, this woman was indeed becoming more shameless. Yuwen Chu handed Zhuangzhuang a toy drum, and then said indifferently, “Not very good.”
It was just a show of authority in front of the servants; he wanted to maintain his dignity. This man was becoming more and more serious, no longer fun-loving. If he continued like this, what would happen in the future? Mingzhu shrugged and asked Su Mei to help her fix a simple and secure hairstyle. After dismissing everyone, she asked, “What’s the situation?”
Only then did Yuwen Chu say, “He’s gone, otherwise, would he stay for dinner?” Although Yuwen Long had long harbored ambitions and had a group of lackeys around him, he was not yet mature. Xu Meier’s escape this time was a heavy blow. Even if he tried to cover it up, the truth would eventually come out.
What’s the point of fighting for the world if you don’t have an heir and will never have one? That’s why Yuwen Long came in such a fury. But what good does it do to cause a scene? Can he possibly oppose Ying Wang Mansion? Of course not.
Mingzhu touched her chin and said very contentedly, “Why do I feel like we’re the ones bullying others?”
“Even if we bully him, what can he do? If he’s not satisfied, he can retaliate. Knowing Old Eighth’s temperament, he wouldn’t dare to confront me face-to-face. But this time, he really hates us. Once he realizes he has no hope, he’ll turn to His Majesty or Zhongshan Wang. Fighting against four people alone, you’ll have something to do.” Yuwen Chu picked up Zhuangzhuang and said, “The Winter Solstice is coming soon, this year’s palace banquet will definitely not be peaceful. You need to be careful.”
Mingzhu nonchalantly said, “I’ve seen it all, even if they serve a dead man’s head for dinner, I won’t be scared.”
“That’s terrifying.” Yuwen Chu kissed Zhuangzhuang’s little face patiently, then said, “Let’s set the table, after dinner, I have something to do.”
He was becoming busier and busier. Mingzhu quickly asked someone to set the table, and when the wet nurse wanted to take Zhuangzhuang away, Yuwen Chu stopped her, “I’ve been busy lately, the child almost doesn’t recognize me anymore. Let him stay by our side.”
The wet nurse brought over some rice gruel for Zhuangzhuang. He had a good appetite and ate almost half a bowl in no time. When the wet nurse wanted to feed him more, Yuwen Chu stopped her, “That’s enough, he’s not starving.”
Mingzhu teased him, “Does His Highness know how to take care of a child?”
Yuwen Chu explained confidently, “I asked Imperial Physician Ji. For a child’s well-being, hunger and cold should be maintained at three points each. As they grow older, they should gradually start eating solid food. You all need to remember this principle. The diet shouldn’t be too delicate, nor should they be overfed. Being chubby is good, but not too much.”
Imperial Physician Ji was the best pediatrician in the royal hospital.
Mingzhu felt warm in her heart. How lucky she was to meet such a caring and thoughtful man who not only taught her how to grow and handle things but also shared the responsibility of raising their child. This was what a good husband, father, and man should be. Thinking like this, she looked at Yuwen Chu affectionately.
Yuwen Chu caught her gaze, smiled, and quietly held her hand, then picked up a grilled lamb chop for her. Mingzhu returned the favor by scooping some fish soup for him. Zhuangzhuang hadn’t eaten enough and stared eagerly at Yuwen Chu’s mouth, waving his little hands and making noises. Yuwen Chu chuckled, “This little glutton.” He dipped a bit of fish soup with his chopsticks and fed it to Zhuangzhuang. The soup was slightly sour, and Zhuangzhuang’s eyebrows furrowed at first, but then he understood the taste and waved his arms, wanting more.
Yuwen Chu fed him a bit more but then refused to give him more. Zhuangzhuang looked pitifully at Mingzhu, who shook her head at him. He burst into loud cries. The wet nurse wanted to take him away to comfort him, but Mingzhu stopped her and handed him a cloth tiger toy, saying, “Stop crying, play with the tiger, roar…”
Zhuangzhuang stopped crying and happily nibbled on the cloth tiger.
Yuwen Chu stared at Zhuangzhuang for a while, then suddenly turned to Mingzhu and said, “Our son looks so much like you, very likable.”
Just when she thought he was becoming more serious, he said something nice without even thinking about it. Mingzhu quickly glanced around at the servants, who pretended not to hear their conversation. Following suit, she shamelessly replied, “I think he looks like His Highness, very dignified.”
Zhuangzhuang seemed to understand that his parents were shamelessly complimenting each other, so he promptly threw away the cloth tiger and reached out for Mingzhu to hold him. After Mingzhu picked him up, he wanted Yuwen Chu to hold him, too. After satisfying his need for attention, he felt content.
