Chapter 1118 One person was left unattended and developed horizontally.
Even when faced with His Majesty's direct gaze, Li Yu'an's gentle smile never faded.
"I noticed today that Xiang Yu seems to have gained some weight since entering the palace. It's true that the child is growing, but I suppose that when he was in the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, his weight was kept under control."
Liang Chongyue recalled that Xiang Zheng had told her that Xiang Yu needed to control his diet.
Otherwise, the child won't know when they're full and can keep eating for a long time.
Liang Chongyue only just remembered.
"I understand. You will accompany me to see that child tonight."
Liang Chongyue knew that because of the puppy, her mother's palace was always stocked with pastries and fruits.
When the system goes there, it can't get the fruit to its mouth on its own. It can just find any palace servant and someone will wash and peel the fruit and put it to the system's mouth.
Even without seeing it with her own eyes, Liang Chongyue could imagine that Xiang Yu was probably receiving the same treatment now.
Perhaps the Empress Dowager will spoil him even more.
Thinking of Xiang Yu's growing influence, Liang Chongyue was a little worried that Xiang Zheng might see him in the palace today.
She didn't know how to explain it to Xiang Zheng.
After all, even Li Yu'an thought she had gained a lot of weight, so it must have been more than just a little.
After Liang Chongyue and Li Yu'an sat on the Luohan bed and drank tea for a while, Liang Chongyue took Li Yu'an directly to the Cining Palace.
Upon arriving at Cining Palace, I spotted the system playing with a chubby figure from afar.
Liang Chongyue stopped in her tracks, looking at Xiang Yu's back. It was normal for him to look fat in the heavy winter clothes.
Upon entering, Liang Chongyue looked at Xiang Yu's round, smiling face and pinched it with her hand.
Putting everything else aside, it feels great in the hand.
"Xiang Yu greets Your Majesty, long live the Emperor!"
Xiang Yu was not thin to begin with, and now she is even more rounded than before.
Liang Chongyue could already imagine the moment when she and Xiang Zheng would meet again.
She said to Xiang Zheng:
"You entrusted your son to me back then, and I'll return a chubby baby to you."
It must have been quite interesting to see Xiang Zheng so angry but unable to speak out back then.
I wonder if Xiang Yu, with his chubby figure, can withstand Xiang Zheng's beating.
"Have fun, don't get cold."
Liang Chongyue walked towards the main hall of Cining Palace. After entering, she saw Xiang Sheng doing his homework and glanced at Xiang Yu, who was playing with the system outside.
"Doesn't Xiang Yu have to do his homework?"
Xiang Yu, with his sharp ears, immediately explained himself upon hearing this:
“I’ve finished writing it all. My sister has studied more than me and has more schoolwork.”
Upon hearing this, Liang Chongyue finally stepped into the hall.
As she passed by Xiang Sheng, she glanced down at his homework.
It's well-written.
Liang Chongyue glanced at him twice and then looked away. Xiang Sheng was here, so Liang Chongyue thought it didn't really matter.
He then spoke directly to his mother.
"Has Mother noticed that in just a few days, Xiang Yu looks much fatter than when he came?"
Hearing this, Xiang Huayue turned her head and looked out through the middle of the window.
Xiang Yu was seen lying on the puppy's back, wanting the puppy to carry him, but the puppy refused.
"He looks a bit chubby, even though he doesn't eat much every day."
Xiang Huayue doesn't believe that children should be raised to be chubby and fair-skinned to be considered pleasing.
But seeing how round and cute Xiang Yu was, they didn't pay much attention.
"Xiang Zheng told me that Xiang Yu's happiest thing is eating and drinking. I suppose he's been eating and drinking a lot in the Empress Dowager's palace these days?"
Xiang Huayue is an expert at raising children.
But this was the first time Xiang Huayue had ever encountered someone like Xiang Yu who had gained weight so quickly.
"This child here only gets three meals a day, mostly pastries and fruits. Isn't that how you, Xiang Zheng, Minglang, and all of Minglang's study companions have fared?"
It's like Xiang Yu is a leather bag; if you stuff something into it, it bulges out.
"Xiang Zheng said she didn't want Xiang Yu to grow too fat. Mother, you spoil the little dog. There are pastries and fruits everywhere in Cining Palace. The child doesn't know when he's full and eats too much."
Xiang Huayue looked up at Chun Chan, her eyes seeming to ask a question.
"The pastries and fruits in the palace were indeed consumed quite quickly today."
Seeing Aunt Chun Chan's expression, Liang Chongyue knew that she had been being tactful.
With the system leading the way, it would be strange if Xiang Yu ate less.
"Remove all the pastries and fruits left in Cining Palace. We need to control Xiang Yu's diet in the future; if he continues like this..."
Xiang Huayue couldn't help but recall that when she was at the Xiang family home, Xiang Zheng, in order to control Xiang Yu's eating habits, would have Chai Shuo sit with Xiang Yu to eat, as if every bite of food was calculated.
As a result, the original plan was disrupted after the child had only been with her for a few days, and Xiang Huayue was a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, Xiang Zheng has been busy these days and hasn't had time to go to the palace, otherwise she would have seen a chubby baby there.
Xiang Huayue could easily picture them looking angry but unable to speak out.
"Yes, then this servant will go and tidy it up right away."
Xiang Sheng stayed on the side doing his own homework the whole time, without even looking up.
Liang Chongyue witnessed this scene and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
After all, this was the first child that Xiang Zheng and Chai Shuo had poured all their heart and soul into.
With his calm and collected demeanor, Xiang Sheng is destined for great things in the future.
Thinking of this, Liang Chongyue thought of someone.
Xiang Sheng looks a lot like his maternal grandfather; his words and actions are very similar.
Liang Chongyue suddenly found it amusing that her maternal grandfather supported her rebellion in order to protect the Duke of Dingguo's mansion.
After the overall situation was settled, they also curbed the development of the women in the family.
In the end, it was Xiang Zheng's eldest daughter, whom he had suppressed the most, who resembled him the most.
From now on, the Duke of Dingguo's family will be ruled by female dukes for at least three generations.
"Xiang Yu is practicing martial arts now. If he eats fewer snacks, he will lose weight quickly."
Liang Chongyue thought of the puppy, but wondered if the puppy would lose some weight after losing Cining Palace as its base.
"I hope so."
Xiang Huayue turned her head and looked out the window again. A person and a dog were standing in the courtyard watching Chun Chan and his men take away all the pastries and fruits that had been placed in Cining Palace.
The man and the dog just watched, without making any attempt to stop them.
They must have felt it was time to get a new one.
There was also an imagination in his eyes for new foods.
Xiang Huayue couldn't bear to watch any longer.
"I'm a little tired. I'll go take a nap first. If Xiang Yu and the puppy come in, let them play in the side hall."
Liang Chongyue realized that her mother was avoiding Xiang Yu and the puppy.
At least the puppy can still freeload at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and if all else fails, it still has its own pocket money.
Xiang Yu was tormented by withdrawal symptoms for several days after leaving these delicious pastries.
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
Liang Chongyue did not try to persuade his mother to stay, as his mother was soft-hearted towards her child.
Stay a little longer, before Xiang Yu can even try to coax her, this isn't about practicing martial arts.
It's hard for a mother not to be moved when her child cries out that he's hungry.
Liang Chongyue watched her mother flee into the inner palace, while Xiang Sheng continued to obediently do his studies.
