After the milk ball arrived, the father who had no heirs had a string of good luck.

Rong Momo smiled and said, "Is the young master hungry? Would you like this old servant to have the kitchen prepare something delicious for the young master?"

"Yes, yes!" Tang Rui nodded vigorously and rattled off a long list of dishes.

There were stewed pork ribs, braised pig's trotters, braised chicken... a total of seven or eight dishes.

There was no other way; in ancient times, stews were the most common food, stir-fries were rare and not very tasty.

Hearing the long list of dishes, Rong Momo's eye twitched: "Young Master, is this all you can finish?"

"I can do it! I used to eat eighteen steamed buns from my master's bread with every meal."

"...Eighteen?"

Rong Momo stared silently at Tang Rui's round little belly...

But in her mind, each steamed bun was bigger than an adult's fist. Although her round little belly was not small, it couldn't possibly hold eighteen steamed buns, could it?

"Granny, is this not enough?" Tang Rui saw her in a daze and thought she had asked for too much.

Rong Momo snapped back to reality in a second: "No, no, Mistress is Mistress, she can eat whatever she wants. This old servant will send someone to tell the kitchen to make it right away."

"Wait a minute!" Tang Rui opened the small box that Li Ji had given her; inside was a box of silver peanuts.

Tang Rui grabbed a handful of silver peanuts, then belatedly realized her hands were too small, so she grabbed another handful and gave them all to Rong Momo: "The cooks work hard all day and are tired too. Now they have to work overtime. Give these to them as their overtime pay."

"..." Although she had never heard of the term "overtime pay," Rong Momo could vaguely understand what it meant.

The young master is a very nice person; if he wants a meal, he will even give the servants a reward.

"Yes!" Rong Momo's expression warmed as she accepted the silver peanut. "This old servant thanks the young master for his reward on their behalf."

While waiting for her food, Tang Rui looked around restlessly, unable to stay still at all.

Cuiwei Pavilion is a nice courtyard; the furniture is about 80% new, and all the decorations are complete.

There was a cloth tiger made of fine fabric on the bed, and several cute sugar figurines on the desk, as if they were made just for her.

The bed is so soft!

I wonder how my master is doing. She's not here. Do you miss her?

I'm a little sleepy...

"Princess, it's time to eat!" As soon as Rong Mama's voice rang out, Tang Rui's drowsiness vanished instantly.

Looking at the table full of dishes, my mouth watered uncontrollably.

Of all things, eating is the most important!

It was half an hour later that Tang Rui finished eating and drinking her fill. She had eaten all seven or eight dishes, and even licked several plates clean.

In contrast, the white rice remained untouched.

Rong Momo: "..." She's someone who doesn't eat rice, only vegetables.

Satisfied with her meal and drink, Tang Rui lay down on the bed. Despite being incredibly sleepy, she still softly said to Rong Mama, "Mama, I'll save the white rice for tomorrow... don't throw it away..."

"Alright, young master, go to sleep..." The nanny was thinking about how she could serve the young master leftovers; she would make her something fresh tomorrow.

Rong Momo couldn't sleep, so she called the servants to bring hot water and personally washed her clean.

Tang Rui had already fallen asleep and hadn't woken up once during the night, even snoring...

She slept soundly, while the women in the palace couldn't sleep.

The princess, Consort Zhu, and Consort Li were all very open-minded, knowing that they would never have children of their own in this lifetime.

Tang Rui's arrival filled a void in their lives and silenced those outside who said they were destined to be childless.

Zhang Ji didn't care. She never liked Prince Li, and her becoming a concubine in Prince Li's mansion was only to fulfill her father's last wish.

Besides, Tang Rui is indeed quite cute, and she likes her very much.

Consort Gu and Consort Liu did not think that way.

The former continued to drink alone under the moon, his heart growing increasingly bitter.

After returning home, the latter flew into a rage and cursed Tang Rui's ancestors for eighteen generations.

...

The next day.

Just as dawn broke, the Prince of Li arrived.

Tang Rui: "zzzZZZ~~"

Prince Li frowned: "Rise and come with me to the palace!"

Tang Rui turned over and dreamed that in her past life she went to a club and selected eighteen young male models who were proficient in playing various musical instruments and singing.

Surrounded by handsome men, spending money like water everywhere, it's like living in a paradise.

"stand up!"

The handsome men suddenly looked at her, their hair grew longer, and all eighteen faces turned into the dead face of her cheap father, with 36 pairs of eyes staring at her menacingly.

Tang Rui was startled awake, and the first thing she saw was her cheap father's deadpan face.

"Aww~"

Tang Rui was so frightened that she grabbed a pillow and threw it at him.

The cheapskate father caught the pillow lightly, his handsome face darkening several shades: "I said, get up!"

"Your Highness!" Princess Li rushed over, shoving Situ Che aside and picking up Tang Rui, saying, "Don't be so fierce, you scared Rui Rui."

Situ Che opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Consort Zhu's voice came from behind him: "Anyway, it's such a long carriage ride to the palace, just let the servants do Rui Rui's hair and makeup, why make her get up?"

"A five-year-old child is at the age when she is growing. If she doesn't get enough sleep, she won't grow tall." Zhang Ji said coldly, touching the soft sword at her waist. It looked like a threat no matter how you looked at it.

Situ Che's eye twitched: "...Why are you all here?"

Princess Li replied matter-of-factly, "I am your princess, of course I will go to the palace with you."

Consort Zhu chuckled: "I need to lose weight, so I'll get up early to exercise."

Zhang Ji said coldly, "I have a habit of getting up early to practice boxing."

Situ Che: "..."

Laugh to death!

Why don't I see you with me when we go to the palace?

And you, Consort Zhu, you would never get up before the sun was high in the sky.

Now they're quite diligent.

"Granny Rong, quickly help the little princess with her bath and toilette!" Princess Li said, then looked at Tang Rui gently: "Rui Rui, sleep a little longer. Your mother will wake you when we get to the palace."

"Mother, I'm awake."

Tang Rui was unable to sleep.

She never expected that so many mothers would come to see her off just for entering the palace.

Has this person stumbled into a paradise?

Princess Li held Tang Rui tightly the entire time and personally combed her hair.

Consort Zhu instructed her maid to bring over the white jade bird's nest and feed it to her spoonful by spoonful.

Seeing that her hair was too plain, Zhang Ji took a pink beaded flower from her own hair and put it on her head, smiling almost imperceptibly: "The little princess has too few headdresses. I will send some more when I get back."

Princess Li didn't say much, but her expression was somewhat unnatural.

Among the women in the Prince's mansion, Princess Li seemed to be the poorest, unable to even afford a decent gift.

We need to find a way to get the dowry back, otherwise we won't have any money to buy jewelry for our daughter.

Situ Che looked at the three busy women and was completely speechless.

When Tang Rui wasn't there, all the women in the mansion would fawn over him.

Now he's completely ignored and no one cares about him.

Qingfeng muttered softly, "Your Highness, it seems you've fallen out of favor."

Situ Che glanced at him coldly upon hearing this, then looked at the little bun surrounded by the crowd.

This child, who was filthy yesterday, looks like a little girl under the seat of Guanyin today after being dressed up by several women.

She wore her hair in two buns, had big, bright black eyes, and two wisps of hair fell down her forehead, making her small face look even more milky white and cute.

Nonsence!

Not cute at all!

He will never forget how this daughter came to be.

After Tang Rui finished dressing, Situ Che and Princess Li led her into the carriage.

Consort Zhu prepared a large food box and handed it to Princess Li: "There's not enough time, so this is breakfast prepared for Rui Rui. Let her eat in the carriage."
