Chapter 1057: Doting
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
With the alternation of the two kings, there were too many things to deal with. Zongzheng Wei was busy until midnight almost every day.
On this day, he finally had some free time. The Empress Dowager went to Chengde Hall to look for him, but she missed him.
The Empress Dowager asked the new eunuch of Chengde Hall, “Where’s His Majesty?”
The eunuch smiled awkwardly. “His Majesty left the palace.”
“Did something big happen outside the palace?” the Empress Dowager asked worriedly.
The eunuch braced himself and laughed dryly. “His Majesty left the palace incognito.”
Private business?
The Empress Dowager was even more confused.
Her son had only returned to the palace for a short time. Surely he was not involved with anyone outside?
Of course, the Empress Dowager did not expect Zongzheng Wei to go to the Cheng family.
These days, Su Xiaoxiao was not at home. Fortunately, the three little packrats distracted Cheng Sang, so Cheng Sang did not feel so uncomfortable.
Zongzheng Wei put on his mask. The servant guarding the door had long been replaced by Uncle Quan.
The servant knew Zongzheng Wei and knew that he was a friend of the head of the family. He politely welcomed him in.
“The head of the family is in the small garden,” the servant said.
Zongzheng Hui nodded and brought the attendant to the small garden.
Cheng Sang was sitting on a stone stool watching the three little balls fool around.
Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu rolled around in the bushes.
In order not to hurt the three little balls, Uncle Quan would check the flowers every day. The thorny and floral plants had long been cleaned up.
The three of them played happily.
Cheng Sang couldn’t take her eyes off them.
Zongzheng Wei smiled and was about to go forward to greet her when a guy came.
Xie Yunhe came to Cheng Sang with a plate of hot snacks and a pot of sweet honey fruit tea. He looked at the three children dotingly and said, “Madam, Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu are exhausted after playing for so long. Let them come over and eat something.”
When Cheng Sang heard that it was prepared for Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu, she opened her eyes and looked at him. “Is this for them?”
Xie Yunhe smiled and said, “There’s also Madam’s favorite osmanthus cake.”
When Xie Yunhe went to look for Cheng Sang, he was always rejected. Ever since he started to treat the three children well, Cheng Sang was willing to pay attention to him.
Cheng Sang looked at the snacks Xie Yunhe had brought over. They were indeed the children’s favorites.
She looked at the three children who could not stop rolling. “Dahu, Erhu, Xiaohu, are you tired? Do you want to come over and eat something first?”
“I’m not tired!” Dahu said.
He was the most energetic.
“Erhu isn’t tired either.”
Erhu rolled behind his eldest brother.
“Xiao Hu is the least tired”‘
Xiao Hu nodded and rolled over.
“Do you want some water?” Cheng Sang asked.
The three little ones said, “No.”
Xie Yunhe said warmly, “Then they can come over when they’re tired and thirsty later. Madam, eat some osmanthus cake first.”
Cheng Sang was not too hungry.
Xie Yunhe poured her a cup of honey flower tea. “It’s made from your favorite tea leaves.”
He had just handed it over when it was blocked by a well-defined hand. “Sangsang can’t drink tea.”
Xie Yunhe looked up along this abnormally fair hand and saw the familiar mask.
He remembered that this was an actor raised by Cheng Sang in Changliu Lane. He was even intimate with Cheng Sang. It was obvious that he had ulterior motives!
Xie Yunhe’s expression darkened. “Who allowed you to come to the Cheng family?”
The eunuch beside Zongzheng Wei walked forward angrily, but Zongzheng Wei stopped him with a look.
The eunuch glared at Xie Yunhe coldly. He understood that His Majesty did not want to scare the Cheng family head, unlike this Xie guy, who would put on a straight face for no reason.
Cheng Sang turned to look at Zongzheng Wei. “You’re here.”
Zongzheng Wei had lived in Changliu Lane for a few days. Cheng Sang had seen him many times. Compared to Xie Yunhe, Cheng Sang was closer to him.
“I came to see you,” Zongzheng Wei said softly and sat down beside Cheng Sang.
Xie Yunhe’s expression darkened further.
