Chapter 95 Chapter 95 What...how come everything is fine? ...

Because of Yinzhen's fierce resistance, Li Shuyao was ultimately unable to successfully bring her little cub back to her bed.

The next day, he even developed a strong curiosity about the diplomatic plan she had drawn up. As soon as he opened his eyes in the morning and finished a bowl of rice porridge, he stretched out his hands and kept pointing towards the outside of Changchun Palace, as if he couldn't wait to start working and build his own network of contacts.

Today we went to Concubine Hui’s Yanxi Palace.

Along with Yinzhen, the inspirational letter from yesterday, which was checked over and over again by Concubine An, was also sent over.

But Huipin has a child after all, and has been in the palace for many years, so she is more patient than other concubines.

She had no opinion on the fact that Concubine Ling would soon be promoted to a concubine. Perhaps she had great confidence in herself, so when faced with the letter handed to her by Nanny Yan, she just unfolded it and took a quick look, then threw it away and immediately hugged little Yinzhen with a happy face.

The toys that the eldest prince used to play with are still kept in the Yanxi Palace, and Huipin is very experienced in raising cubs.

——To sum up, this is a very happy day for the cub.

So Yinzhen sat in the arms of his wet nurse in high spirits and was sent back to Changchun Palace.

The next day, he went to Rongpin's Zhongcui Palace.

In addition to Changsheng and the Second Princess, there is also the Fourth Princess born to Concubine Bu in Zhongcui Palace.

The little cubs have already learned to speak and are at an age where they have a strong curiosity about everything in the world.

When they first saw a little kid younger than them coming into Zhongcui Palace, they timidly held each other's hands, looking a little restrained and not daring to approach.

Later, watching the little baby crawling and "playing" alone on the wool carpet, Xiao Changsheng thought for a moment, ran over quickly, crossed his legs and sat on the carpet. When Yinzhen crawled past him, he followed without thinking, using his hands and feet.

When the Second Princess and the Fourth Princess saw this, they probably thought the game was fun.

So soon they joined in.

Little Yinzhen was crawling ahead unconsciously, and suddenly he couldn't see his two sisters and brother Changsheng anymore. Some doubts flashed through his little head.

He thought about it and thought that maybe they went somewhere else to play?

There was no way. After all, he was just a baby who couldn't talk or walk, and couldn't even control his drooling. How could he ask his brothers and sisters to stay by his side?

Little Yinzhen was not disappointed. When he couldn't find his brothers and sisters, he lowered his head obediently and crawled back and forth on the carpet in circles with great perseverance.

After crawling a few times, the nanny came over and laid him down on the ground to rest.

Only then did he see clearly that his two sisters and brother had not gone to play somewhere else, but were following him closely and learning how to crawl from him!

"Woo wa la bal wa wa ah haha..."

Little Yinzhen was stunned for a moment, then he clenched his fists in anger and made a few incoherent noises to express his anger.

The translation roughly means this:

You can all walk, why do you still want to learn to crawl on the ground like him?

Are you laughing at him?

Speak up!

The other little kids didn't understand what he was "saying".

At the same time, he tilted his little head.

Changsheng took another look at his new brother, as if he had sensed something. He shyly crawled over, reached out and took two of little Yinzhen's fingers, and introduced himself to him: "Hello, brother, I am your brother."

The second and fourth princesses also came over immediately and introduced themselves in order.

"Hello brother, I am your sister."

"Hello brother, I am your sister too."

Little Yinzhen: "..."

Although, your introduction is very unqualified. How can you not even mention the names and order?

And now that you've finished your introductions, why are you staring at me like that?

Do you expect me to introduce myself?

Yinzhen was angry for a while, but he couldn't withstand the pressure of six black eyes looking at him at the same time.

He opened his mouth and uttered a simple syllable.

"Quack!"

Changsheng and the others fell silent at the same time.

This younger brother seems to be not very smart.

After Zhongcui Palace, it was the turn of Concubine Duan, Concubine Jing, Concubine Xi and Concubine Tong to move to Chengqian Palace.

After the rounds were over, the people in the Cining Palace probably got wind of something and sent an old nanny over. Nominally, they were there to visit little Yinzhen, but in reality, they were hinting to Li Shuyao that the two old ancestors missed Yinzhen a little, and if Concubine Ling had free time, she should take the little prince to the Cining Palace for a walk more often.

After hearing what the old nanny said, Li Shuyao was a little confused for a moment. Isn't it said that the Empress Dowager prefers quietness and doesn't like to be disturbed by concubines?

Why did he take the initiative to invite her to the Cining Palace?

She thought for a long time, and finally her eyes fell on the little Yinzhen who was practicing standing posture while holding the cotton railing and shaking his buttocks up and down from time to time not far away. Suddenly, she had an epiphany.

What invitation did she have? It was obviously her little kid who was invited.

What is she doing here?

She thought that Qingyao would give birth in the next few days, so it would be a good idea to send Yinzhen to the Cining Palace first.

This would not only please the two ancestors, but also prevent her from accidentally neglecting her duties, giving some jealous people in the palace an opportunity to take action against Yinzhen.

As for her, she can always be by Qingyao's side, so that she won't be so scared when she's about to give birth.

Thinking of this, Li Shuyao felt that the hints from the two ancestors really came like timely rain.

The next morning, before little Yinzhen woke up, he couldn't wait to pack out two boxes of clothes, and sent them to the Cining Palace along with the wet nurse.

When Su Malagu of the Cining Palace heard that the young prince from the Changchun Palace was coming to stay for a few days, she immediately took people to clean up a side hall, bought a full wardrobe of small clothes, and a gorgeously decorated toy house.

He also transferred two chefs from the imperial kitchen who were very skilled in making baby food and fruit snacks, and ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to go out of the palace to collect many of the most popular baby toys from inside and outside the capital, and even from Western countries.

——It seemed as if he was planning to let Yinzhen live in the Cining Palace for a long time and was not going to return it to Li Shuyao.

The court officials and the harem were all stunned when they saw the grand display in the Cining Palace.

However, in the previous rumors, Concubine Ling always managed to escape unscathed, which made many people see how important she was in the emperor's heart. That's why they restrained themselves and did not dare to discuss her further in private.

However, several high-ranking officials and ministers of the previous dynasty were somewhat resentful about this. They always felt that how come this newborn little prince, who was not even one year old, had already overshadowed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

...His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the orthodox one!

Now they just hope that the ancestor is just in a whim and wants to enjoy the company of his grandchildren for a while.

After having enough fun, the little prince will be sent back to Lingpin's Changchun Palace safely.

On the other hand, Li Shuyao still didn't know what kind of turmoil had occurred in the previous dynasty.

After she sent little Yinzhen to the Cining Palace, she thought she could just wave her hand and leave in style.

But when she took only a few steps out of the gate of the Cining Palace, a deep reluctance suddenly flashed through her heart.

You know, Yinzhen has never been separated from her for such a long time since he was born.

Will he be unable to adapt?

Also, I heard that babies of Yinzhen's age usually have cerebellums only the size of a walnut kernel, and they don't remember things and are not sensible.

He wouldn't have forgotten his own mother after just staying in the Cining Palace for a few days, right?

When she thought of this, Li Shuyao's heart suddenly sank. Her mind was quicker than her body's reaction. She turned around and ran back to the Cining Palace. After finding Su Malagu, she took her hand and asked cautiously, "Aunt, can I come to visit Yinzhen once in the morning and once in the evening these days?"

"He's still so young, and I'm afraid he won't be able to get used to being away from his mother all of a sudden."

Upon hearing this, Su Malagu looked at her with a somewhat peculiar expression. After hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help but say, "Lady Lingpin, you are the young prince's biological mother. You went through great pains to give birth to him and have done a great job in raising him. The old ancestor never thought of stopping you from seeing the young prince."

"The old ancestor had already given instructions a while ago to send the young prince to Changchun Palace every day."

"So your Majesty, you don't have to worry about not being able to see the young prince."

Besides... she just saw Concubine Ling leave decisively and resolutely, and mistakenly thought that she knew about this.

Why did she suddenly come back and say these words to her?

And the message revealed in her words seemed to be that before Lingpin turned back, she had never considered whether the little prince could adapt to the environment of the Cining Palace after leaving his mother?

Is it an illusion?

Is there any mother in the world who doesn’t love her own child?

Maybe Concubine Ling forgot about it just now?

Su Malagu shook her head, brushing away the sense of absurdity that suddenly emerged in her heart.

He took Li Shuyao's hand and said a long and soothing speech.

Only then did Li Shuyao slowly feel relieved.

The next second, she heard Su Malagu solemnly assuring her that she would never let the little prince suffer any harm in the Cining Palace!

When Concubine Ling comes to pick up the little prince in a few days, she will definitely let him gain a few more pounds!

Li Shuyao's feeling after listening to it was: "..."

She was very grateful to Su Malagu and the two ancestors, but she had never doubted this point.

After all, everyone who has been online knows that in the hands of our grandmothers, there is no child who cannot be raised to gain weight.

Li Shuyao now began to worry, what if the ancestors raised little Yinzhen to be like a Michelin tire?

Losing weight is hard.

It would also easily hurt the mother-son relationship between her and Yinzhen...

With a little worry in her heart, Li Shuyao took a sedan chair back to Changchun Palace. After tidying up a little, she went to the neighboring Yiku Palace to continue guarding.

After guarding for another two or three days, Qingyao suddenly took action one afternoon.

Li Shuyao had been through this before, and when she saw Qingyao's pants were wet, she quickly moved closer, held her hand, and muttered to her, "Adjust your breathing. Don't be afraid of the pain. Bear it for a while. It won't hurt so much when you lie down in the delivery room..."

Before she could finish her words, Qingyao looked at her hesitantly and said, "But, I don't seem to feel anything."

"It's just that my lower abdomen is a little sagging..."

"Ah?" Li Shuyao was stunned, unable to understand why she was in so much pain at that time.

The Yikun Palace servants took advantage of this opportunity to quickly carry Qingyao into the delivery room. They had all been trained before, so they weren't panicking at this moment. They each went about their work in an orderly manner.

Li Shuyao walked around the delivery room for a while, and seeing that Qingyao was not crying out in pain like she was, she began to wonder again if her little cub had a grudge against her.

Why can’t he be as obedient and sensible as Qingyao’s little cub?

As soon as she finished this thought, Qingyao on the bed suddenly let out a muffled groan from between her lips and teeth, and then a few slender fingers quickly grasped the curtains beside the bed, pinching out many clear wrinkles.

Li Shuyao:?

Is this... the beginning?

She jumped up from the chair in a panic, her movements so fast that Tian Jiarou and Yue Shu had no time to react. She stuffed the ginseng slices prepared on the small table beside the bed into Qingyao's mouth and nervously instructed her, "Hold it, hold it, hold it under your tongue, don't move, don't chew it, swallow it..."

The last few words were uttered with a faint cry.

Qingyao suddenly regretted agreeing to let her stay with her in the delivery room.

But if you think about it carefully, she was also nervous when Shu Yao gave birth to the baby. No matter how the nanny persuaded her, she did not dare to leave Shu Yao's side. In the end, it was the emperor who gave the order, and she was forcibly taken out of the delivery room by several nannies.

So I didn't see the bloody scene when Shu Yao gave birth to her baby later.

But at that time she was two months pregnant, and the emperor and the two ancestors were worried about her health, so they forcibly took her away.

Now that Shu Yao is in good health, what excuse can she use to send her away?

Qingyao suddenly fell into deep thought.

The soft tongue unconsciously hooked twice in the mouth and soon licked something with a bitter taste.

The next second, her chin was pinched by Li Shuyao.

Li Shuyao's expression was rarely so serious. "I told you not to chew it. You should hold it under your tongue. Qingyao, you are so smart, how could you make the same mistake as me?"

She didn't notice that the words she blurted out actually cursed herself as well.

She applied a little force with the fingers that were pinching Qingyao's chin, forcing Qingyao to open her mouth slightly. Then she stretched out her other hand, imitating what Nanny Yan had done to her before, to "help" Qingyao put the ginseng slices in the right position.

Qingyao's body stiffened when she pinched her, and her rationality quickly returned.

Immediately, I felt the pain in my body seemed to ease a little.

She loosened her grip on the curtain and weakly pushed both of Li Shuyao's hands aside. Then she gave Li Shuyao a straight look and said, "I can do it myself."

Li Shuyao: “?”

She was carefully observing Qingyao's condition. Seeing that she looked pale, yet still had the strength to push her hand away, she was very surprised for a moment, "You, how come you still have the strength to move?"

She remembered that not long after being carried to the bed, she almost fainted from the pain.

It was Nanny Yan who stuffed two slices of ginseng into her innermost part and pulled her back from the endless darkness.

Qingyao lay there without answering when the midwife outside came in after washing her hands.

While spreading the quilt with ease, he reached out to feel what was going on under Qingyao's body.

Among them was a midwife with a particularly sharp look. She only took one look at Qingyao lying on the bed, and her brows knitted instantly. With a stern face, she scolded: "Empress Yi is not dilated yet. Who fed Empress Yi a ginseng slice to her mouth?"

"What, you've already used the ginseng tablets?"

"How can you use ginseng tablets at this time? If the attack comes later, what will Concubine Yi do?"

"Spit it out, spit it out."

Li Shuyao:?

She was just startled by Qingyao's scream and thought Qingyao had started giving birth.

It turns out...it hasn't even started yet?

Li Shuyao gave up her seat in front of the bed with an awkward expression, trying to pretend that she didn't hear what the midwives said.

But the midwives' sharp eyes kept scanning the palace maids behind her.

Not wanting to shift the blame, Li Shuyao raised an arm guiltily and said weakly, "Yes, I gave Qingyao the ginseng slices."

Several midwives were stunned at the same time and looked at each other.

When he looked at Li Shuyao again, his expression suddenly changed, "It's Concubine Ling, then it's okay."

Li Shuyao suddenly became more and more confused. What...how come everything is fine?
