Chapter 67
Time flies quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already the thirteenth year of Zhanghe.
The fact that her son, Cheng Qing, was already four months old gave Mu Xi Yao great headaches these days. Little bun made babble sounds and created quite a fuss. Perhaps it was because his foundation was too good. Turning over was already an easy drive on a familiar path to the little bun. When one looked at his attitude, it was full of ambition. He could be frequently seen lying on his stomach like a toad. Maybe after a short period of time, even crawling and sitting up would become a cinch for her little bun.
Moreover, the little bun was spoilt rotten by his daddy. Every day, he had to "fly" once, otherwise, he would stare at Mu Xi Yao with those black pupils of his and keep babbling to himself. And if she were to ignore him, he would be immediately displeased and start an earth-shaking weep.
At first, Mu Xi Yao didn't know way around. She thought Cheng Qing has fallen sick. She was even going to order people to ask for the imperial physician. However, who knew that when Zhong Zheng took him over, bun stopped crying pitifully and even began to play happily with his daddy.
Mu Xi Yao was infuriated. This brat has become a witty devil. He was only four months old, yet he already knew to threaten her. She then quickly called people to send off the imperial physician who has rushed over and even bestowed him gifts for inconveniencing him. Thus, she had dealt properly the trouble little bun had caused.
Mu Xi Yao returned to the house menacingly to complain to Zhong Zheng Lin that her son was being spoilt by his own dad. What's more, people had to yield to him. He was so small, yet already knew to throw tantrum. If they don't lecture him now, it would be difficult to discipline him in the future.
The sixth Highness complied. However, whenever he turned his head, he would immediately put it out of his mind. As long as bun saw him, he would instantly throw himself at him and the sixth Highness would then certainly follow Cheng Qing's desire, lift him highly and play with him a game of flying.
The father and son's incorrigible behavior infuriated Mu Xi Yao so much that she had to pout her grievances to her Ladyship consort Shu. Who would have imagined her Ladyship consort Shu would display a benevolent expression and praise Mu Xi Yao that she has brought up Cheng Qing well, raising him into a very bright child. There was no word of criticism. In addition, she kept bragging before the attendants around about how outstanding was her grandson since being a child, that a promising future will surely await him in the future.
Mu Xi Yao's intention to seek an alliance was shattered. She could only sternly educate her son while Zhong Zheng Lin wasn't in the estate. She had to harden her heart in order to correct the bun's little temper she disapproved of. Ultimately, she made bun understand one principle: the method "a child who cries get sweets" doesn't work in front of his mom.
Zhong Zheng Lin read the report sent by the secret guard. The way how Mu cefei educated his son, regardless of its importance, was all recorded on it.
The sixth Highness was amused when he thought of how his rabbit pulled a long face at a baby. In any case, Cheng Qing was only a little over four months old. In what way was he so mischievous like she believed?
However, the little woman was, to his surprise, unusually strict when it came to disciplining a child. She didn't spoil or coddle child like other womenfolk did. On the contrary, she was even a bit sterner than him the father.
Having such a mother to bring him up, Zhong Zheng Lin had great expectations from Cheng Qing.
The sixth Highness and Mu cefei raised up a baby and enjoyed themselves in Danruo courtyard. The rest of the women in the inner yard also had never stopped having ideas.
