Cui Weizhen has been very busy these days, busy dealing with various follow-ups to the Zhao family case. As soon as he returned home, he went to the outer study and directed Mo Yan around. He didn't know what he was busy with in the winter.
On this day, Cui Weizhen came back under the stars again. Ye Zhenzhen was coaxing Xin Ning to sleep. He took off his cloak at the door and grilled himself in front of the charcoal basin to make sure that there was no coldness in his body before he dared to walk towards them.
Mother and daughter.
"Why did you bring Xin Ning over?"
Aunt Cui likes children and is very lively when they are with her, so Xinning spends most of her time in Fuxi Courtyard, and Ye Zhenzhen also stays in Fuxi Courtyard when she has nothing to do, so there is no talk of mother and daughter being separated.
However, Cui Weizhen doesn't spend much time with his daughter on weekdays. He has been busy recently and can only meet once or twice in a hurry. This was when Xin Ning was asleep, so the girl always goes outside recently, just thinking about it.
See her father.
Ye Zhenzhen lowered her voice and said truthfully: "The child hasn't seen you for several days and missed you, so I took her back."
Xinning was not yet asleep. When she heard her father's voice, she immediately opened her eyes and looked over. She was so excited that she danced and babbling non-stop, and her little eyes lit up.
The lines on Cui Weizhen's face softened instantly. He held his daughter and sat on her shoulders. Xinning was so happy that her laughter filled the room.
The father and daughter were playing. After Ye Zhenzhen came back from bathing and changing clothes, Xinning still pestered her father to ride a horse, but it was already long past her bedtime. The child was sleepy while holding her father's hand, reluctant to let him go.
Dad leaves.
Cui Weizhen was also held by his daughter.
Ye Zhenzhen took Xin Ning over and glanced at Cui Weizhen: "Leave the child to me. You have been busy all day. Go and wash up."
Xin Ning was reluctant to let go of her father, but under her mother's gentle comfort, she soon became compliant. She happened to be sleepy, so she squinted her eyes and fell asleep.
Cui Weizhen took his eyes away from his daughter. After he came back from washing, Xinning had fallen asleep completely. Her mother placed her in the Dongnuan Pavilion, watched by the nanny Hu.
Ye Zhenzhen was sitting in front of the dressing mirror applying moisturizer. When she heard footsteps, she shouted without looking back: "Weizhen, I can't reach my back, please wipe it for me."
Cui Weizhen paused, but quickly took it and wiped it, his throat gradually became dry and hoarse.
"Okay, be careful of catching a cold."
Cui Weizhen helped her put on her clothes and cleared her throat. Ye Zhenzhen looked up at him from the mirror, her eyes seemed to be filled with honey, but she even curled her lips narrowly: "The charcoal fire in the room is very bright.
Is your throat uncomfortable? Just in time, I made tea with Luo Han Guo and poured you a cup to drink."
With that said, she went to the table next to her and poured a cup of light brown tea over: "Try it, it tastes a little sweet. Even Zhi Duan and Zhi Ming like to drink it."
Cui Weizhen drank it all in a very dignified manner, then grabbed someone who was about to turn around and passed the tea in his mouth.
Ye Zhenzhen was caught off guard and choked, glaring at him angrily. Cui Weizhen chuckled, took out the handkerchief to wipe it, and whispered: "Why is madam angry? Aren't you inviting me to be your husband?"
Ye Zhenzhen blushed: "Actually, not..."
However, her sophistry was quickly swallowed up in the whimpering sound of the evening wind, and the candlelight remained uncut and swayed until dawn.
