The emperor and Concubine Rong's high-profile reward to Tang Cheng was like a signal. All the rumors criticizing Tang Cheng disappeared almost overnight, which severely slapped some people in the face.
Tang Cheng was pleased to hear this.
She happily accepted all the rewards with Dabao. The rewards from the Emperor and Concubine Rong were exactly what she wanted.
Half of it is silver.
None of them are the imperial jewelry and porcelain that look good but are useless and cannot be exchanged for silver.
Just then, the person who had gone to Puji Temple to get vegetarian food came back, and Tang Cheng, in a good mood, ate contentedly by himself.
However, on the first night after Wen Huaian left, Tang Cheng suffered from insomnia, which was rare. He sat on the bed in the middle of the night, hugging the quilt, his little face wrinkled with disbelief.
Oh my god, she actually has insomnia!
This has never happened before.
She has always had very good sleep quality, and insomnia is non-existent.
but…
She couldn't sleep the first night Wen Huaian was away.
Tang Cheng felt unwell.
It’s just that there’s one less person next to her, so why is she suffering from insomnia
The candlelight in the room crackled, illuminating Tang Cheng's shocked face.
Tang Cheng sat alone on the bed for a while, then suddenly threw off the quilt and got out of bed.
Amber and Linglong, who were keeping watch in the outer room, were startled when they heard the noise coming from the inner room. They hurried into the inner room to check what was going on and saw the young lady in her coat about to go out.
"Miss, why are you up at this time?" Amber was startled and asked quickly with concern.
"I can't sleep without someone by my side. Amber, go to the next room and bring Dabao over. I want to sleep with Dabao."
Tang Cheng said with a depressed look on his face.
She felt that the reason she couldn't sleep was because Wen Huaian was not there. She was not used to it, so she suffered from insomnia.
Then I shouldn't suffer from insomnia if I add one more person.
So Tang Cheng thought of his son Dabao.
Amber: “…”
The young lady couldn't sleep just one night after her son-in-law left. This was obviously impossible before she got married, but it happened now. It was obvious that she had gotten used to her son-in-law's presence. Maybe she had fallen in love with him without realizing it.
Many thoughts raced through Amber's mind.
She looked at the young lady's depressed look and thought that even if the young lady slept with the young master in her arms, she might not be able to fall asleep.
The young master is not a son-in-law.
Although she thought so, Amber did not say it out loud. The young lady was pregnant now, and if she did not sleep well, it would affect the fetus in her belly. She and Linglong looked at each other and quickly responded, "I will go to the next door and bring the young master over."
Tang Cheng waved his hand and urged: "Go quickly."
As for Linglong, she went out for a while and came back with a kettle to pour a cup of hot water for the young lady.
Tang Cheng took a sip of water from the porcelain cup.
After a while, Amber came in carrying Dabao, followed by the worried wet nurse and maids.
"Young Madam, do you really want to sleep with the young master?" Wet Nurse A asked anxiously and worriedly.
The young lady is so violent and cruel, and has so much strength. What if she accidentally hurts the fragile young master
It would be strange if Nanny A wasn't worried.
"Yes, Dabao will sleep with me tonight, you guys go back." Tang Cheng reached out and hugged Dabao who was sleeping soundly, then drove them away.
The wet nurse and the maids wanted to say something but couldn't stop it, so they could only retreat with full of worry.
Amber and Linglong also went outside to keep watch.
Tang Cheng excitedly carried Dabao to bed. With a little person by his side, he was no longer alone. Tang Cheng thought he would finally stop suffering from insomnia and would fall asleep soon. However, he still couldn't.
Tang Cheng looked speechlessly at Dabao who was sleeping soundly beside him without being affected, his eyes full of envy.
At the same time, Wen Huaian, who was staying overnight at the inn, felt empty because there was one less person by his side. However, he touched the amulet given by Tang Cheng and fell asleep peacefully.
The next day, Tang Cheng, who had not slept well the night before, woke up early and handed Dabao to the wet nurses who had been worried all night. He then hurriedly sent someone to Nanyang Marquis Mansion to find Tang Xin to ask for ways to treat insomnia.
Tang Xin came to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion in confusion, wondering if it was because Prince Wen was not there, and Tang Cheng was bored and looked for her to relieve his boredom.
But things turned out to be unexpected.
After Tang Cheng finished talking about his troubles and requests, he looked at Tang Xin expectantly.
"Third sister, do you have any ideas?"
After listening to Tang Cheng's request and then looking at Tang Cheng's confused and anxious expression, Tang Xin widened her eyes in disbelief. Tsk tsk, how on earth did Prince Wen do it? He's only been away for one day, but Tang Cheng, who has always been heartless, is not used to it and can't sleep alone.
But Tang Cheng's method of trying to solve his insomnia problem last night by holding his son Dabao to sleep was too funny.
Tang Xin couldn't help laughing.
But this gave Tang Xin an inspiration.
She rolled her eyes and instantly came up with a good idea.
"Ahem, Fourth Sister, I think the fundamental reason for your insomnia is that Prince Wen is not around. Why not ask Xiu Niang to make a puppet that is about the same height as Prince Wen? You can hold it in your arms when you sleep at night, and you shouldn't suffer from insomnia anymore."
In modern times, it is very common to sleep with a doll in your arms.
Especially humanoid puppets.
However, Tang Xin did not say it directly. Emperors of all dynasties were afraid of witchcraft. It would be bad if something happened and she was implicated.
Tang Xin didn’t know whether Tang Cheng would ask someone to make a human-shaped puppet. Everything depended on Tang Cheng’s choice.
If she specifically reminded him and Tang Cheng, who had a weird way of thinking, took it to heart, it would be her fault then.
Several thoughts flashed through Tang Xin's mind. Thinking that Tang Cheng was pregnant now, she didn't want to do something bad with good intentions, so she quickly added another sentence.
"But dolls can be easily tampered with, so it's best to have them carefully checked by doctors and maids before use."
Tang Cheng's eyes lit up when he heard that.
"That's a good idea. Tang Xin, you're really smart. I'll have someone do it right away."
"Pearl, go to the embroidery room quickly and remember to keep an eye on it so that no one can tamper with it."
The corners of Pearl's mouth twitched. What kind of idea was this from the Third Miss? However, the young lady's insomnia was a big deal and had to be resolved.
"I will go right away."
Zhenzhu was about to leave after she finished speaking when Tang Cheng stopped her.
"Wait, Zhenzhu, ask the embroiderer in the embroidery room to make two puppets, one as tall as Wen Huaian, and one as tall as me. Um, both must be tiger puppets."
Tang Cheng likes this majestic tiger the most.
Tang Xin's mouth twitched: "Fourth sister, why do you want to make two tiger dolls?"
Tang Cheng rolled his eyes at Tang Xin and replied as a matter of course: "Why are you so stupid? Of course it's me and Wen Huaian."
"I had insomnia last night and Wen Huaian must be the same as me. Once the tiger puppet is finished, I will have someone send it to Wen Huaian as soon as possible so that he can also have a good sleep."
Tang Xin was caught off guard and fed a mouthful of dog food, with a frown on her face.
Prince Wen would probably be surprised when he received the tiger doll from Tang Cheng. After all, it was a token of Tang Cheng's love.
Sending puppets thousands of miles away...
Haha, she’s not jealous at all of this show of affection.
I'm really not jealous!
