Because it was Xiumu, Cui Weizhen had the rare opportunity to sleep in with Ye Zhenzhen. It wasn't until Wangzi clamored for his parents that they both got up.
Wangzi didn't see his parents yesterday, and he was very angry today. Cui Weizhen had already activated his nanny skill, hugged the boy and lifted him up high, finally making him smile with a mouth that could hold a bottle of oil.
Even Xiumu, Cui Weizhen and Ye Zhenzhen didn't have much time to spend with their children. First, they had to continue painting the unfinished paintings, and second, the steward of Princess Ningyang's vineyard came to visit.
Princess Ningyang was impatient and was not willing to wait any longer for delicious wine. She sent the steward of the vineyard to ask for a meeting the next day. Although Ye Zhenzhen still had something to do, it did not conflict with making wine, so she made arrangements directly.
The experienced mother-in-law and steward went to the manor to pick grapes. When the grapes were picked back, it would not be too late to guide their subordinates in making wine.
Wangzi was accompanied by Auntie Cui, Pengpeng and Huwa, so Ye Zhenzhen could work in the study with Cui Weizhen without any worries. After working all morning and afternoon, she finally finished the long "Feast Picture of the Palace of Monarchs and Ministers".
Cui Weizhen didn't waste a moment, took the scroll and entered the palace to present it to the king.
Ye Zhenzhen took advantage of her hand feeling good to draw the portraits one by one that she had promised to all the ladies last night, and ordered her servants to deliver them to the ladies of each house tomorrow before coming out of the study.
It was already sunset, and Cui Weizhen still hadn't come back.
She went directly to Fuxi Courtyard. Peng Peng and Hu Wa were playing with Wang Zai. When Wang Zai saw her, his eyes lit up and he started to babble. He stretched out his hand to hug her. Ye Zhenzhen tapped the tip of his nose.
, took him into his arms and asked with a smile: "Are Wangzi good today?"
Wang Zai smiled silly and drooled all over his mouth. Ye Zhenzhen quickly wiped it with his saliva pocket, laughing at him as a toothless child.
Pengpeng and Huwa both laughed, but Aunt Cui on the side was not happy. She glanced at her daughter-in-law who spoke so freely, snatched her precious grandson from her arms, and said, "We Wangzi already have four children."
He has only one tooth, so he is not a toothless child, right? He is my grandmother’s darling.”
Wangzi couldn't understand, but that didn't stop him from speaking the alien language excitedly in his grandmother's arms. His milky voice was delicate and tender, making people infinitely lovable, even for a guy like Tiger who couldn't sit still.
My temperament, I don’t feel bothered by my nephew’s babbling all day long.
After teasing the child for a while, Aunt Cui looked up at the increasingly darkening sky outside, her face not concealing worry, and said: "Why hasn't Zhen'er come back yet? Is it because the Holy One left a meal? Or the Holy One is not satisfied with your paintings."
, punish Zhen'er?"
If they were given a meal, Guan Yan or Hong Zhiyuan would be asked to report back home. They must have been delayed by something.
Ye Zhenzhen had full confidence in their paintings and did not think about the worst at all. The most likely possibility was that the emperor left Weizhen behind to discuss with him the reform issue of "sharing a small family into a single family".
So he quickly comforted him: "Mom, don't worry. Your Majesty is probably discussing political affairs with Wei Zhen and has forgotten the time."
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a servant's joyful announcement from outside: "Old madam, madam, your Excellency is back, and you have brought your Majesty's reward!"
The people in the room hurriedly went out and saw Cui Weizhen followed by a group of eunuchs carrying silks, gold, silver and jade. They were immediately surprised.
Isn't it too generous of the emperor to exchange one painting for so many royal gifts?
