The Grand Dowager thought about what Ziwei mentioned in the afternoon regarding how Xing seemed so happy in Xiqiu's room...
After all, there is a layer of blood ties, even if they've never met, they are closer than others.
She nodded slightly, "Go ahead!" After speaking, she continued to listen to Min recite the Three Character Classic.
Xiqiu walked into the green gauze cabinet where Xing was standing on the bed reaching for the hook that held the curtain, his nursemaid looking on nervously, holding out her hands protectively, afraid he'd fall off the bed.
Xiqiu smiled as she approached, "Xing." She walked to the bedside, smiling, "What are you trying to get?"
Xing stopped, glanced at Xiqiu, and stood on tiptoe on the pillow to reach. Xiqiu extended her hand to help him take it down, "Xing wants this?"
Xing nodded, holding the round, tasseled curtain hook, and sat on the bed playing, quite different from his animated demeanor that afternoon.
