Cui Du had his own duties to attend to, so he couldn't stay in the harem every day to curry favor like a dutiful son-in-law. After two days, he returned to the Imperial Manor.
Grand Empress Dowager Zheng had a rather high opinion of Cui Du.
As for Prince Ping, he now had a new "brother-in-law" in his understanding. This was an amazing thing for Prince Ping. He had grown to the age of eight, and the number of faces he could remember did not exceed ten!
His favorite was his cousin Shao Hua, but naturally, he was most familiar and close with his mother. Not seeing his mother for several days made his life feel like a large piece was missing. Even if he couldn't articulate it clearly, he vaguely noticed something was amiss.
On this day, he cried incessantly, insisting on seeing his mother.
Eunuch Ge went to beg Mr. Zhao, bearing scratches all over his face.
