Lu Xinghe touched his nose.
Liu Mianmian stared at him silently, he smiled sheepishly: "She just reminded me to treat you well, if I let you suffer any grievances, she won't let me off lightly!"
Liu Mianmian smiled with pursed lips.
Just as she thought.
"And also..." Lu Xinghe added, "She said if you have a daughter in the future, you must teach her to be lively and not as observant of etiquette as you. The Empress wants to betroth your unborn child as her daughter-in-law!"
Liu Mianmian...
She already did so many things outside of the confines of etiquette, yet she still feels she's too observant.
Fortunately, she herself didn't have a daughter, otherwise who knows how spoiled she'd become.
Just as they finished speaking, Mingming poked his little head out from the curtain at the door, holding two big strings of candied haw in his hands, bright red.
Clearly something Uncle Ahu bought to appease the child.
