Chapter 692 Entering the Palace to Pay Respects!
Mu Xin Nuan had no interest in interfering in Mu Changping's family affairs. Over the past few years, she had been more concerned about the second branch of the family, simply to put her grandfather at ease.
In order to allow his father to focus more on state affairs and not be bothered by these trivial household matters.
Now that she saw that her grandfather was in excellent condition, she was naturally relieved.
Although Mu Xin Nuan had a good impression of her younger cousins, it didn't mean she had an obligation to raise them all to be successful.
First, she doesn't have that ability. She's just a woman, and a married one at that, so it's best for her to interfere as little as possible in her family's affairs.
If it were one's own younger brother, then it wouldn't matter.
The problem now is that these are my cousins, and some things can't be explained in just a few words.
The child has been living with his second uncle and aunt for a long time. Although he is much better now, he inevitably bears some of their marks on his body.
So, there are some things she can do, but there are many more things she is powerless to do.
Secondly, she was only staying in the capital for a short time, so how could she really have the energy to care about her second uncle's family affairs?
She herself is still in a lot of trouble!
Who knows what tricks the Crown Princess will play on me?
And how many people in the capital are secretly coveting her Duanmu Chuze?
Just thinking about it gave her a headache.
Why would this man be so handsome for no reason?
Even if he is ugly, his status as Prince Chang Le is enough to give her a headache. Now that he is so handsome, isn't he just asking for trouble?
Mu Xin Nuan really didn't want to go back to the Chang Le Prince's Mansion that night.
But there was no way around it. If she had married an ordinary person, she might have been able to stay at her parents' home for one night. But she married Prince Chang Le, so she had to live in the Mu residence, and Duanmu Chuze said he wanted to live there too.
But how can this be allowed?
With no other option, Mu Xin Nuan had to follow him back to the Chang Le Prince's Mansion.
"Do you think we should prepare some gifts for our trip to the palace tomorrow?"
"It doesn't matter. What Mother wants to see most is Xiao Zonghua, not necessarily the two of us. Look at Father-in-law today, his eyes have hardly left Xiao Zonghua. So, the expectations that the elderly have for their grandchildren are beyond your imagination."
"Aze, do you think we'll have to have lunch with Father and Mother when we go to the palace tomorrow?"
"It should be that Prince Ming and Prince Kang haven't arrived yet. Perhaps the imperial decrees were issued differently. Father Emperor deliberately ordered us to enter the capital ahead of schedule."
“Alright, before we go to the palace tomorrow, let Xiao Zonghua eat something at home first, so he won’t start crying from hunger again.”
Duanmu Chuze lay on the bed, and Xiao Zonghua happily stepped on his stomach, bouncing around and occasionally letting out a "giggle!"
"You think our son is so adorable? Mother wouldn't have taken a liking to him at first sight and kept him in the palace instead of giving him to us, would she?"
Mu Xin Nuan swayed, staring at Duanmu Chu Ze in disbelief. "Aren't you being a bit too narcissistic, father? Where did you get the idea that your son is so great?"
"I'm just stating the facts. My son is just so adorable."
Mu Xin Nuan rolled her eyes at him and simply ignored him. Rong Yue helped tidy up the clothes and then withdrew.
"Alright, it's getting late, stop making a fuss. If you stay up late, he'll cry again in the middle of the night."
Xiao Zonghua had already been weaned. This was Duanmu Chuze's idea, saying that the child was too old to always drink breast milk, so he was switched to cow's milk. For the first two days, he had a lot of diarrhea.
It made Mu Xin Nuan feel so sorry for her.
However, Duanmu Chuze insisted on weaning Xiao Zonghua.
In fact, Mu Xin Nuan herself knew that her milk supply was decreasing, and even if it continued now, it was only a matter of time before it stopped.
A few days later, after weaning Xiao Zonghua, Mu Xinnuan truly had no more breast milk.
Fortunately, Xiao Zonghua has already adapted to milk and some porridge-like complementary foods, so Mu Xin Nuan is no longer worried about him.
Now their dormitory beds have been replaced with larger ones, and the three of them can sleep together without feeling cramped at all.
Originally, Duanmu Chuze wanted him to sleep in his own small bed, but Xiao Zonghua seemed unwilling. He always refused to sleep, so Duanmu Chuze had a large bed prepared for him.
Xiao Zonghua, who was in the middle, soon lay down on Duanmu Chuze's arm and fell fast asleep.
He slept soundly, but Duanmu Chuze was not happy.
With the three of them sleeping in the same room, and even in the same bed, it would be quite difficult for him to get intimate with his wife.
It has to be said that Duanmu Chuze still felt a bit annoyed by this brat he had just praised as cute at times like this.
So, just before Duanmu Chuze fell asleep, he was still wondering whether he should really leave him with his mother for a couple of days.
Maybe when we bring him back, he won't want to sleep with them anymore.
The next day, with everything prepared, the family happily entered the palace.
At the entrance of Kunning Palace, the Empress had been waiting anxiously for some time.
"Where is my dear grandson? Why isn't he here yet? Go and check on him again."
"Your Majesty, please don't worry. Didn't we say we'd already left Chengqian Palace?" the female official said, her sharp eyes catching sight of a sedan chair. "Your Majesty, look, isn't that it?"
"Greetings to the Queen Mother."
The Empress smiled and helped Mu Xin Nuan up, but gave Duanmu Chuze a look, "You've lost weight, you've lost so much weight. A Nuan only gave birth not long ago, how did you become so thin? You seem even thinner than before you had your baby, right?"
"Your Majesty, perhaps it's because you have to take care of this child that you're like this. Besides, I haven't lost much weight."
The Empress looked at the little grandson in Aunt Fang's arms, her eyes filled with joy.
"Come here, come to Grandma. Let me give you a hug."
When the Empress took Xiao Zonghua in her arms, she was delighted to see that he was not crying or making a fuss, but instead reached out to pull the hair ornament off her head.
"Little Zonghua likes this? Great! Grandma will reward you with a whole box later. Come on, let Grandma kiss you."
After being kissed by the Empress, Xiao Zonghua was stunned at first, and then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he did something that no one expected.
He actually leaned his body towards the Empress and then gave her a big kiss on the cheek!
"My dear grandson! What a good child, he even knows to kiss his grandmother."
The empress was so happy that she almost forgot that she was still an empress.
