Chapter 224: Shen Hua Tang

The Princess Consort of Qi, worn down, had no choice; after soothing him a while, she finally got Prince Qi to give up the idea of going to the Da Li Si in the middle of the night with a knife.

In the end, Prince Qi still went to Meng Ce Fei's quarters.

The other party had indeed been frightened yesterday, so he really needed to go over and soothe them.

Meng Ce Fei, hearing that the Prince was coming, was somewhat surprised.

Then she thought back to what Sui Sui had told her earlier: "Auntie, you'll also have someone keep you company."

Meng Ce Fei fell silent for a long while, quietly thinking to herself: Actually, sleeping alone is quite nice too.

The Prince—

His snoring is really too loud!

Prince Qi came over, temporarily setting aside his other emotions; he first soothed Meng Ce Fei for a while, then gently asked about her daily affairs, and the two also discussed Feng Xuancang for a bit.

When it grew late, they finally returned to the bed to sleep.

They simply lay under the covers and slept.

Meng Ce Fei was not surprised by that either.

I heard that when the Prince was staying in the separate residence, Car Maid had drained him; thinking about it, it really is pitiful.

Now, if we let him get aroused, what if he can't rise? And if he then becomes angry from embarrassment, what are we to do?

After the Princess Consort of Qi coaxed Prince Qi away, she took Sui Sui and returned to the main house, saying, "My dear little one, Mother Consort, let's go to sleep."

Holding her sweet-smelling little daughter is wonderful!

The Princess Consort of Qi felt delighted in her heart.

Sui Sui also liked being with Mother Consort, clinging to her neck and gently rubbing against her.

Mother and daughter quickly tidied up and went to sleep.

Because Sui Sui was ill, the medicinal bath was temporarily canceled.

Tonight, she just did a quick wash and then went back to sleep.

The little child, still sick, lacked energy.

So, before a bedtime story could be told, under Mother Consort's gentle patting, Sui Sui drifted into a sweet dream.

The next day, it was overcast.

However, it wasn't cold.

Early in the morning, Sui Sui changed into a set of pinkish new clothes, plus a small hat newly sewn by Aunt Xiang, also pale and light—at a glance a bright, soft hue that matched her outfit perfectly.

The jade pendants on her person were all put on as well.

Now, just by standing there, Sui Sui exudes the aura of a wealthy young lady.

The Princess Consort of Qi looked left and right; however she looked, she liked it.

When Feng Xuanrui and the others came over, a group of children chattered noisily.

The sister's previous ready-made clothes were dark in color, looking dull and grayish; nobody felt much about them, only knowing that the sister's eyes were pretty.

Once they changed into bright clothes and tidied up carefully, Sui Sui's beauty was naturally noticed by everyone.

Feng Xuanrui was the first to rush over and hug her: "My sister, you're fragrant and lovely!"

Feng Xuanbin, unwilling to be outdone, tried to squeeze out a space with his own chubby little body.

Feng Xuanbo said nothing, but his forward‑pushing motion was just as quick.

The children were chattering away all morning, and the Princess Consort of Qi watched, feeling quite pleased.

Prince Qi had slept fairly well at Meng Ce Fei's place the previous night.

The two had talked a lot, giving each other considerable emotional value.

Meng Ce Fei's heart, which had been frightened before, gradually calmed down.

Prince Qi's irritable inner fire, stemming from his physical condition, also subsided accordingly.

One morning, after he washed up and freshened himself, he then brought Meng Ce Fei over to have breakfast together.

Feng Xuancang hadn't expected to see his mother so early; he hurried forward to pay his respects.

Meng Ce Fei also quickly paid her respects to the Princess Consort; after rising, she casually picked up Sui Sui.

The children were fussing over the little sister, only to discover that Meng Ce Fei had taken her away.

Feng Xuancang didn't dare to contend with his mother, while Feng Xuanbo and Feng Xuanjie felt angry but didn't dare to speak up.

Feng Xuanrui had no such reservations; he glanced at Mother Consort, then at Father King, and then coaxed, "Consort Meng, please give me my sister, I beg you."

Meng Ce Fei: …

Prince Qi: ……

How petty! Turns out you're the one who corrupted my daughter!

Prince Qi's gaze, sharp as a blade, floated over.

Feng Xuanrui instinctively straightened his back!

Meng Ce Fei also thought it wasn't right to tease the child first thing in the morning, so she soon put Sui Sui down again: "All right, here you go, here you go—hurry and take Sui Sui to breakfast."

Everyone ate breakfast in a noisy, lively manner.

When Feng Xuanrui and the others went to the Small Classroom for lessons, Doctor Liu arrived with Liu He Meng.

Master Shen also brought over the second granddaughter from the residence.

Master Shen's granddaughter, Shen Hua Tang, is eleven years old, a bit older than Sui Sui and Liu He Meng.

The young lady is fair‑skinned, quiet, and very well‑mannered and polite.

Prince Qi, watching from the side, felt worried: "This won't do; the child is too honest—what if I bring my daughter up to be just as honest?"

Prince Qi had already been thinking: among the clans, is there any young lady with a stubborn temperament who is also not easy to provoke?

After looking around, he found that the princesses of his imperial elder brother were quite suitable.

But, borrowing the princess...

Would it not be too good?

Prince Qi fell into thought.

Sui Sui now has clothes, but her hair temporarily can't grow too long.

So, Princess Consort of Qi bumped into Master Shen, preparing to first bring people to the Small Classroom today to get used to it.

Afterwards, each day they'll first spend half a day, seeing how the adaptation goes.

If the adaptation goes well, they'll later gradually add physical education classes.

Sui Sui's body is still weak, still needs nourishment.

So, physical education class is actually not urgent; some daily consumption in the mansion can already meet her daily exercise needs.

After Prince Qi and Princess Consort listened, they felt it made sense, and also asked Sui Sui's opinion.

Sui Sui right now is secretly looking at Shen Hua Tang; she thinks this older sister, she is so tall, and also so white.

Today there is no light; otherwise, in the faint morning light, this older sister would probably be white enough to reflect.

Sui Sui has recently been raised to be very white as well, but she feels this older sister Shen is even whiter.

Moreover, her appearance is also good, and she is dignified and elegant, very different from little kids like them.

Sui Sui's envious gaze is almost sticking to Shen Hua Tang.

Shen Hua Tang naturally felt it, and she also curiously looked at Sui Sui.

She discovered that the little county chief has a pair of round, very cute eyes.

Those eyes are not only good-looking, but also especially clean.

The other party kept looking at her, Shen Hua Tang couldn't control herself, and also secretly looked at her.

When Sui Sui's gaze met hers, she couldn't help but squint her eyes and smile.

When Shen Hua Tang saw Sui Sui smile, she also couldn't help it, lightly pursing her lips, smiling gently and softly.

When Sui Sui saw the older sister's smile looking even better, she couldn't help but want to look even more.

When Father King and Mother Consort asked, Sui Sui was still a bit dazed.

Ah?

What happened?

Princess Consort of Qi looked and knew the child hadn't listened to them; she guessed the child was probably curious about Shen Hua Tang.

She lowered her head and glanced, discovering that Shen Hua Tang was also secretly looking at Sui Sui.

Princess Consort of Qi smiled and asked Sui Sui again: "Is your body feeling better today? Do you want to follow the older brothers to the school to attend class?"

Little cuties, Children's Day happy, wish little cuties, always happy, Sui Sui safe~
