Chapter 108 Chapter 108 Did she ask the little guy...

Standing blankly on the ground, the white jade-like snowball instantly turned into a small pink lump.

But the sharp-eyed Li Shuyao noticed it. She rolled her smiling eyes around and looked at little Yinzhen in a teasing manner, then looked at Yueshu who was covering her belly with her hands, and was about to laugh at her with some malicious intentions.

When her eyes fell on little Yinzhen's flushed cheeks, she pursed her lips and finally suppressed the itch in her heart.

He immediately squatted down and met the little dumpling's panicked eyes.

After taking a closer look, she realized that her little girl had really gained a lot of weight recently.

Her already round, plump face was gradually sagging, and from the side, she looked like a cartoon child. Her head was a perfect circle, and because she had her hair shaved last month, it felt prickly to the touch, like a hedgehog with its fur spiky. Her chin rested on her collar, easily squeezing out two lumps of flesh that looked very pleasant to touch...

Li Shuyao looked around, and suddenly a word popped up in her mind:

cute.

The chubby child she raised seems even cuter.

But I heard that it’s not good for children to be too fat. Will it be unhealthy?

This doubt flashed through her mind quickly.

Just at this moment, the pink little Yinzhen in front of her had already put away his embarrassment. He raised his eyes and glanced at Aunt Yueshu behind his mother. Then, biting his lower lip, he threw himself into Li Shuyao's arms like a small cannonball, buried his head in her neck, and did not move at all.

Li Shuyao quickly opened her arms and hugged him.

Immediately, he patted his little butt and asked softly, "What's wrong with Yinzhen?"

Yinzhen shook his head slightly without saying anything. After a while, when his ears felt less hot, he withdrew a little from Li Shuyao's arms, pinched her pinky finger, lowered his head and whispered, "I, I don't want to be held anymore."

"Mom, just hold my hand and walk with me." The baby voice sounded not much louder than a mosquito.

Although it takes a very long walk from Changchun Palace to Chengqian Palace, and he has to pass through the entire imperial garden, but... he would rather walk until his legs break than be tossed around like a sandbag by his mother.

After two lifetimes as a human being, although his character has deteriorated a lot, he still has to save face, okay!

Li Shuyao stood up, her right hand slightly opened, only her little finger was firmly held by the cub. After taking two steps, she still felt uncomfortable, so she slightly struggled to break free from the cub's claws, instead holding the cub's chubby wrist, and continued walking towards Chengqian Palace.

As I walked, I was still muttering to myself, should I help the kid lose weight?

But... where do I start?

*

As I was thinking about this, several days passed quickly.

Hearing that the little prince of Prince Chun's family outside the palace was getting worse, even the emperor went out of the palace to visit him.

After returning, he went straight to the Cining Palace and talked to the two Empress Dowagers. Then the Grand Empress Dowager ordered all the imperial doctors who were not on duty in the Imperial Medical Bureau to go to Prince Chun's mansion and wait.

Concubine Tong has been recruiting the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department more and more frequently recently.

The entire harem was filled with a stagnant and tense atmosphere. The concubines probably guessed something. Even a restless concubine like Concubine Hesheli rarely stayed quietly in her own palace, for fear of making mistakes if she went out.

Changchun Palace was not affected too much, mainly because Li Shuyao's daily activities were not very extensive.

There were few nighttime activities in the Qing Dynasty, and taking care of children was tiring, so she went to bed regularly every day and was habitually woken up by a little fat child in the morning. After having a delicious breakfast with Yinzhen, she took a sedan chair to pay her respects to the imperial concubine's palace.

After paying my respects, I returned to the palace to catch up on some sleep, or read some storybooks. In the afternoon, I went to Qingyao's palace to bring back the little fat boy who was having fun, ate some snacks and fruits, and then started the most uncomfortable time of the day - taking care of the child.

After the little one learned to walk and talk, he was always chattering. When he saw a bird flying overhead, he would ask her to look. When he saw flowers blooming under his feet, he would also ask her to look down. He would hold anything he got in front of her and start a series of quizzes with a hundred thousand whys. He was so engrossed in playing that he didn't treat her as his mother at all. Last time, he even tried to get her to climb a tree with him, and told her that it would be easier to climb if she took off her shoes and socks. This scared Tian Jiarou and Yue Shu who were standing by so much that they broke out in cold sweats.

Finally, Nanny Yan came from the small kitchen with a sullen face, carried the two children back to the main hall, one in each hand, and punished them by not allowing them to eat midnight snacks or desserts for three days. Only then did the child seem to recover from the slumber. He pitifully held Nanny Yan's hand and placed it on his head, apologizing in a wronged voice for a long time before Nanny Yan calmed down.

Then he quietly complained to Li Shuyao that her mother did not know how to teach the little prince the proper manners.

Li Shuyao’s response to this:???

What does it have to do with her?

Didn't she refuse at that time?

She didn't really take off her shoes, nor did she really follow the kid to climb the tree!

At most, she quietly let go of the kid's hand when he was climbing the tree to test his grip strength. And after seeing that, didn't she quickly lift the kid down from the tree?

As an adult, Li Shuyao thought she was still very responsible. Why should she be punished?

Nanny Yan confiscated her midnight snacks and desserts, and she was unhappy for several days. She was finally coaxed into peace by Qingyao who came from next door.

The square Changchun Palace is not big, with the front yard and the back hall only a small amount together. However, the little kids turned it into a huge amusement park, as if even ants moving house was full of fun.

Li Shuyao also thought about throwing the chubby boy out and letting him play by himself.

But Nanny Yan disagreed, saying that if things went on like this for too long, the little prince might not be close to the empress. She also said that the little prince would move to the prince's residence when he was six years old, and if she didn't spend more time with him now, she would definitely regret it in the future!

After a long list of principles and rules, Li Shuyao was forced to agree to take care of the baby herself.

Fortunately, there were many people serving the little boy, so she didn't have to do everything herself. As time went by, the little boy gradually developed a habit. Sometimes she didn't even need to go out to catch people. He would just put his hands behind his back and run back with his little feet skipping.

Upon hearing that the Emperor had gone to Prince Chun's residence and seeing that Concubine Tong was on high alert, Nanny Yan asked her in a low voice if she wanted to detain the young prince for a few days and not let him run around.

Li Shuyao thought about it. There weren't many things for her little ones to play with. Her two brothers had been busy recently and had rarely returned to the Prince's Residence and Yuqing Palace. Zhongcui Palace was far away, and Rongpin had not been feeling well recently, which scared the little ones in her palace. They had lost their interest in playing and had been staying with Rongpin in Zhongcui Palace all day, saying they were there to take care of her.

Little Yinzhen couldn't go to disturb them, so these days he could only play with little Yinqi from the Yiku Palace next door.

But little Yinqi was also busy. The Empress Dowager of Shoukang Palace liked him very much and would send someone to take little Yinqi to Cining Palace to play from time to time.

Little Yinzhen was not easy to follow, so he could only play by himself. No, he would accompany Qingyao in the morning and come back to Changchun Palace to tease her in the afternoon.

From this perspective, it's quite pitiful.

Li Shuyao shook her head and whispered, "Let it go. He's so small, how could he possibly cause such a disaster?"

She was just joking, but Nanny Yan didn't get it. She quickly frowned and said with a stern face, "Your Majesty, you are wrong. It should be 'a monstrous disaster'."

Li Shuyao immediately fell silent, not daring to say anything more, and nodded obediently.

Only then was Nanny Yan satisfied.

However, after calling Li Shuyaonian, Nanny Yan quickly forgot the original intention of asking the question. She just felt that what the queen said seemed to make a lot of sense. The little prince has always been well-behaved, treats people with moderation, and is not very naughty. Which queen in the palace doesn't like him?

Let's talk about her queen again. She has been in the palace for so many years. Apart from being bullied and framed when she was a palace maid in the early days, has she ever had a quarrel with other concubines?

Her mother has never been able to join in the fun. When others ridicule her, she either ignores it or mistakenly thinks that others are sincerely praising her. She doesn't know what her little brain can think of. She even blushes when listening to others and keeps saying that she wants to thank them for the compliment.

…

If Li Shuyao knew what Nanny Yan was thinking, she would probably cry out for justice for three days and three nights.

No matter how naive she was, she knew that she was handling a palace fight script!

How could palace fighting be so straightforward? Within the Forbidden City, even a simple plant on the ground was likely filled with cunning schemes.

She really did not understand sometimes what the other party was mocking her about, but she knew that sincerity was the ultimate weapon!

To deal with a green tea who is good at acting, you have to be better at acting than her.

Besides, why bother arguing with others for a momentary verbal pleasure? What good would winning the argument bring? Would the Imperial Concubine reward her with a few more bolts of cloth or a few more plates of pastries, or would the Emperor grant her a few more months' allowance?

There's no real benefit anyway, so why waste your breath?

If a problem can be solved by saying "Oh, yes, yes, you are right", there is no need to have a long lecture with others.

With that little time, what could she not do?

Nanny Yan didn't understand Li Shuyao's "great wisdom and pretended foolishness", and Li Shuyao didn't understand why Nanny Yan's eyes suddenly became kind and gentle when she looked at her. She touched the mutton-fat jade bracelet given by Qingyao on her hand, and continued to mutter in her heart, should she help Yinzhen lose weight?

Li Shuyao finally made the decision not to lose weight.

However, you should reasonably control your child's daily snacks and fruits, and also plan some simple activities and exercises.

With this purpose in mind, the next morning, without Nanny Yan calling her, she opened her eyes on her own and was taken by Yueshu to wash up, feeling a little confused and sleepy.

Then she went straight to the small kitchen and checked the baby's breakfast strictly, no, severely, before going to the warm room to wake up the baby who was so fat that she could no longer hold him.

The process of the little guy going from drowsy to awake was still very cute. His clothes were hanging crookedly on him, his face was red from sleep, his hair was messy, and there was an indelible mist in his big dark round eyes. He raised his hand to rub his eyes, then crossed his two chubby legs and fell uncontrollably towards the pillow.

Li Shuyao quickly reached out to support him, and after putting him down steadily, he continued to rub his eyes, and then rubbed his eyes again. After rubbing his eyes, he began to rub his face, and then scratched his chin, from his chin all the way to his ears, and then to the back of his head. Finally, he covered his head with his hands and yawned.

The little baby voice sounded soft and sweet: "Eliang, good morning."

Li Shuyao just watched, and suddenly her conscience was strongly condemned. Was she asking too much of the brat?

It's okay for a child to be a little fat, being fat is cute. Why should his breakfast be changed from four dishes, one milk and one soup to one milk, one egg and two steamed buns?

Extra meal!

I'll give the kid a new meal later!
