Chapter 1775 -1768: Tangtang’s Feelings for Chu Heng
“She is already thirteen! In two more years, she will be coming of age and getting engaged. How is she still considered young?” Wu Jinyan shook her head helplessly. This little girl she had given birth to had been spoiled like this.
“Alright, Baojun, stop making trouble, and let’s see how Tangtang is doing.” Su Hao gave Su Baojun a stern look, and Su Baojun immediately dared not move.
Although the imperial physician knew that Xiao Yuntang’s health was not seriously troubled, he still prescribed some tonic medicines. It’s not harmful for young girls to use some nourishing medicines.
Chu Heng pondered, “Tangtang is frail. Recently, there have been many tributes from various countries, some of which are tonics. I will have them sent to Tangtang to nourish her body.”
Su Hao clasped his hands, “I thank Your Highness on behalf of Tangtang.”
Chu Heng smiled, “Uncle, there is no need to be polite. It must have been my late-night visit that disturbed Tangtang, preventing her from getting a good rest.”
He walked to Xiao Yuntang’s bedside, speaking softly through the smoky blue veil, “It was my poor consideration. Tangtang has been weary from the journey and should rest early. I will return to the palace first. Tangtang, be good, sleep well, take some tonics and recover. I will then take you and Baojun to the palace to play.”
“Tangtang… thanks Your Highness for the care.”
Xiao Yuntang’s voice came out muffled from under the covers.
Chu Heng smiled and turned to leave.
Su Hao’s family respectfully saw Chu Heng off as he returned to the palace, and only then did Su Baojun yawn and turn back to her room to sleep.
Wu Jinyan had a maid help her remove her hairpins and wash up. Seeing her daughter’s bold and unrefined demeanor, unlike the daughters of noble families, Wu Jinyan felt a bit of a headache.
Whenever she thought of it, she couldn’t help but complain to Su Hao, “You dote on her, Chen Yang dotes on her, and the Crown Prince dotes on her even more. Look at how Baojun is now, how far she is from Tangtang?”
Comparing the two, Xiao Yuntang had none of the air of a merchant family, presenting herself with grace and nobility.
Whereas their child was like a mischievous monkey.
Su Hao also felt somewhat regretful, but he thought, “It’s too late to say these things now. Anyhow, Baojun has never made a mistake in etiquette when out, so let her be unruly at home. As long as she doesn’t enter the palace in the future, it will be fine.”
“The Crown Prince doesn’t seem to have that interest in her.” Wu Jinyan saw it clearly, “His Highness treats her like a sister, just like Chen Yang does, but towards Tangtang…”
Wu Jinyan felt that Chu Heng might have some special feelings for Xiao Yuntang.
Even though both are considered sisters, Chu Heng never had his secret guard summon the imperial physician at midnight.
When she received various precious gifts from the palace for Xiao Yuntang the next day, Wu Jinyan became even more convinced.
It so happened that Su Miaoyan and Xiao Yu came over, and she pulled Su Miaoyan into the room to discuss the matter.
Su Miaoyan looked at the various treasures in Xiao Yuntang’s room, sent by Chu Heng, including valuable jewelry and dresses, and couldn’t help but smile broadly, “Our Marquis’s Manor’s Crown Prince is indeed considerate and generous, just like Brother Yu, spoiling Tangtang.”
Wu Jinyan held her hand, “I see that His Highness treats Tangtang with some special regard. Among the royal relatives, the Crown Prince has no shortage of siblings. Although he is amiable, he doesn’t often show such attentiveness. How do you and my brother-in-law plan? Are you thinking about letting Tangtang enter the palace?”
Su Miaoyan paused, “We hadn’t thought about that, but I see Tangtang seems to like it.”
She glanced at the courtyard, where Xiao Yuntang was joking with Su Baojun, with a hint of mischief in her eyes, “Tangtang’s study room hides many portraits of the Crown Prince. A few days ago, Brother Yu accidentally damaged one, and she cried for a while because of it.”
