Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

A rich and nutritious breakfast was soon served on the table.

Just as the mother and son were about to enjoy their meal, an uninvited guest arrived.

"Father?"

Huai'an couldn't believe what he saw and rubbed his eyes.

After confirming that the person standing in front of him was indeed his father, he asked in confusion, "Didn't father dislike coming to Anranju? Why did he come again today?"

Lu Chenxiao turned a deaf ear to the child's words.

Instead, he looked directly at Meng Yunshang beside him.

But Meng Yunshang was serving porridge to Huai'an and didn't even glance at him.

Lu Chenxiao frowned and took a seat, calmly explaining his purpose, "I came here to have breakfast."

Huai'an opened his mouth in shock.

Father came to his safe residence for breakfast? Is the sun going to rise from the west today?

"Mother~" Huai'an gently pulled the hem of Meng Yunshang's clothes, always feeling that his father was a little unusual at this moment.

Meng Yunshang put the bowl of porridge away, handed the porcelain spoon to Huai'an, and gently signaled him to drink the porridge with peace of mind.

Lu Chenxiao took a bowl of porridge in a familiar manner.

However, before he could even drink the porridge, he heard Meng Yunshang rudely ordering him to leave.

"Anran Residence is simple and cannot compare to the Prince's Qingfeng Courtyard. Please go back, Prince."

Lu Chenxiao's eyes dimmed, and the words he spoke were extremely unfriendly.

"The entire Heng Palace belongs to me. It is my freedom to eat breakfast wherever I want. Princess, please don't interfere too much."

Meng Yunshang's movements paused slightly. Unable to refute his words, she simply stopped talking.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became weird and awkward.

It was the first time that Huai'an had both his father and mother by his side, and he felt excited and delighted.

The little butt moves around all the time and can't be idle for a moment.

He called out tentatively, "Father~"

Lu Chenxiao glanced at him and did not respond.

Huai'an seemed unwilling to give in, and called out again in a sticky voice, "Father~"

Lu Chenxiao glanced in the direction of Meng Yunshang and saw that she was biting a brightly colored soup dumpling with her head down, and she seemed not to hear the child calling him.

Thinking of Lu Ming's earnest persuasion just now, Lu Chenxiao hummed lightly in response.

Huai'an, who was encouraged, immediately moved over with the small bowl.

"Father, can Huai'an ask you a question?"

Lu Chenxiao wanted to say no.

But Meng Yunshang looked up and he nodded without hesitation, "Ask."

Huai'an's smile widened.

He put down the bowl and spoon, ran back to Meng Yunshang, and asked her in a low voice, "Mother, mother, can I ask father about last night's question?"

"Ok?"

What was the problem last night?

Was there anything she didn't make clear last night?

"That's right~ Oh, I'd better ask Father directly."

The little fellow ran to Lu Chenxiao again, raised his head and asked him seriously, "Father, do you like Huai'an?"

Meng Yunshang understood.

She looked at Lu Chenxiao, curious about how he would answer Huai'an's question.

I am also curious whether Huai'an will reveal his little secret in the end.

Facing the two pairs of bright deer eyes, big and small, Lu Chenxiao felt a little weird.

He wanted to follow his heart and said he didn't like it.

But I was afraid of seeing disappointment in those big watery eyes.

After a long silence, he managed to squeeze out a few words, "I don't hate it."

"I just don't hate it~"

Huai'an felt a little sad, because his mother had clearly said that his father liked him very much as well.

Meng Yunshang felt a little sad when she saw the sad child, so she pulled Huai'an back into her arms.

"Huaian still has mother, and mother loves Huaian the most."

Having said that, Huai'an couldn't help but look at Lu Chenxiao again.

He asked cautiously, "Will Father have other children in the future?"

Lu Chenxiao looked at Meng Yunshang with burning eyes. When Meng Yunshang was confused by his gaze, he said to Huai'an:

"The Heng Palace will only have legitimate sons and daughters. Whether you will have brothers and sisters... depends on your mother."

Meng Yunshang coughed lightly, avoided his gaze, and continued eating her soup dumplings.

However, she was unexpectedly burned on the tip of her tongue by the boiling soup, and she couldn't help but let out a slight hiss.

The man across the table immediately sat over and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Your Highness, please respect yourself," Meng Yunshang frowned and avoided his approach.

Lu Chenxiao returned to his original position, took out a tube of ointment from his sleeve pocket and placed it on the table.

"This is the best jade skin cream in the palace. It can remove scars and regenerate new skin. Keep it for yourself."

After saying that, he turned around and strode out of the restaurant without stopping at all.

"Did Father make Mother angry?"

Although it looked more like his father was leaving in anger, in Huai'an's heart, his mother was the most important.

In everything, my mother's feelings should be put first.

He looked up and asked Meng Yunshang seriously.

He looked as if as long as Meng Yunshang said yes, he would rush to Lu Chenxiao and seek justice for her.

"No," Meng Yunshang shook her head gently.

She signaled Danqiu to put away the jade cream and continued to have breakfast with Huai'an.

After breakfast, the maid came to report, "Princess, Sister Zhichun from the Shangshu Mansion is here."

Zhichun, the big girl beside my mother?

Meng Yunshang signaled Dangui to invite the person in.

Zhichun entered the room and bowed respectfully, "This servant greets the Second Miss."

"Get up."

Zhichun responded and handed over the food box in his hand.

"This is the sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by Madam herself. According to Second Miss's habit, she didn't put too much sugar in it to preserve the original flavor of the sweet-scented osmanthus to the greatest extent."

Danqiu took the food box, opened it, and showed the bright yellow osmanthus cake inside to Meng Yunshang.

Meng Yunshang immediately picked up a piece with her handkerchief and took a small bite to taste it.

"It was indeed made by my mother herself. It tastes exactly as I remember."

Seeing her tasting it on the spot, Zhichun said excitedly, "Miss, if you like it, I will bring it again tomorrow."

At the end, he added, "If Madam knew, she would be happy to do it for the Second Miss every day."

"You don't have to do it every day," Meng Yunshang shook her head and refused, "Mom is busy, I don't want her to be too overworked."

"Yes, I will tell Madam everything the Second Young Miss said without missing a word."

Meng Yunshang secretly observed Zhichun and saw that her eyes were pure and her demeanor was calm, without any signs of lying.

She asked Zhichun, "You came here today, but my mother has something to tell me?"

"In reply to the second young lady, the old lady's birthday is coming up soon. Madam asked me to come and ask the second young lady if she will come back to celebrate the birthday on that day?"

Meng Yunshang frowned and asked softly, "Did father stay at my mother's courtyard these past two days?"

Zhichun was smart and immediately heard the hidden meaning in her words.

She told him without reservation, "The master was a little unhappy when he learned that the second young lady sent Miss Xueyun back to Xinyang, but after Madam's persuasion, he is no longer angry."

"Just talking about the old lady's birthday, the implication is that I am looking forward to the second young lady coming back to attend the banquet."

Meng Yunshang said softly, with a half-smile on her face.

Zhichun felt a little uneasy, worried that he would return empty-handed, so he asked carefully, "Will the Second Miss return home that day?"

"There was a fire in Xianyun Court a few days ago, and I was injured."

Zhichun immediately asked anxiously, "Is Miss in good health? Would you like me to ask the palace doctor to come and see Miss?"

Meng Yunshang shook her head, "The palace has no shortage of doctors."

Seeing that Zhichun was worried, she went straight to the point.

"Go back home and tell my mother to lend me Aunt Mu who knows pharmacology for a few days to help me recover."

"Although Danqiu and Dangui are around, they are still young and inexperienced. Aunt Mu has been with my mother for many years. With her help, I can attend the banquet sooner."

Zhichun immediately understood that it was no secret that Aunt Mu was proficient in pharmacology.

Having been with the Madam for these years, everyone in the mansion has to give her some respect.

It is normal for the second young lady to seek help from her to recuperate.

So, she bowed to Meng Yunshang and promised, "I will go back to the mansion and report to the Madam right away."
