Afterward, Leng Xiaoye got up from under the covers.
"Alright, let Grandpa help us prepare breakfast, and Grandma will go with you."
After Leng Xiaoye changed clothes in the walk-in closet and came back, the little one was already dressed in sportswear, waiting at the door.
The two went to the back garden to run, Huangfu Yaoyang instructed the servants to prepare their breakfast, and then he took a shower, changed clothes, and rushed to the office, where he asked his assistant to contact the Minister of Foreign Affairs of M Country to inform him about his son’s upcoming visit.
By the time Leng Xiaoye and Gan Tang finished their run and rushed to the dining room after their baths, the servants had already prepared breakfast.
Having burned quite a bit of energy with the morning exercise, Gan Tang had a good appetite and almost finished his breakfast.
After breakfast, Leng Xiaoye stood up and escorted the little one to the study.
Even with so many incidents occurring, she had not let the little one’s education suffer, still arranging the necessary lessons for him every day based on the previously set plan.
Just as they reached the living room, a staff member came in with Qian Xueying.
"Your Majesty the Queen, Your Highness!"
Upon seeing them, Qian Xueying immediately went forward to greet them with a bow.
"How is the Duke’s health?"
Leng Xiaoye returned her smile, and Gan Tang, following what his etiquette teacher had taught him, nodded politely yet with dignity to Qian Xueying.
"Thank you for your concern, my father... he is well," Qian Xueying gratefully nodded to the Queen. Her eyes landed on Gan Tang, filling with a tender look, "Xiaotang, are you alright?"
The little one nodded, "I am fine, thank you for your concern."
"Madam!" a staff member came over, "Your guest has arrived."
This morning, Leng Xiaoye had an appointment to meet with a member of an peace organization, and the person had now arrived.
"Good, you take Xiaotang to the study," Leng Xiaoye instructed the person and then smiled at Qian Xueying, "Excuse me."
"Please go ahead," Qian Xueying humbly stepped aside. Once Leng Xiaoye had walked away, she approached Gan Tang, "I happen to be going upstairs too, shall I escort you to the study?"
"Thank you," Gan Tang said politely.
She reached out to hold his hand, but the little one was already stepping up the stairs. The staff member smiled at her and Qian Xueying retracted her hand with a smile.
As they all went upstairs, Qian Xueying pretended to suddenly remember something
"Oh, my... I think I forgot my car keys in the car, can you help me check?"
"This..." The staff member hesitated, after all, his task was to escort Gan Tang to the study.
"I’ll take him there," Qian Xueying said somewhat embarrassedly. "I’m in a hurry to go down now, I really can’t afford to be late."
"Well, okay," the staff member nodded, "Your Highness knows the way, I will come to find you in the study in a while."
As the staff member went downstairs, Qian Xueying quickly walked a few steps to catch up with Gan Tang, moving alongside him.
"Why haven’t I seen your daddy?"
"Daddy is not at the Royal Palace."
A look of disappointment flashed in Qian Xueying’s eyes, "Then where did he go?"
The little one stopped walking, turned his face towards her, "Why are you asking about my daddy’s business?"
"I..." Qian Xueying did not expect to be questioned in return and paused before smiling again, "I was just asking casually."
Turning his gaze away, Gan Tang continued forward.
Qian Xueying caught up again, "I’ve also heard about your mommy’s situation... Actually, I don’t think she is a bad person."
