Po is as slippery as a mudskipper.

Zhilan didn't hold him back.

A Bao climbed over the railing and stood in front of Di Rongjing.

The six-year-old Di Rongjing was much taller than Abao. He lowered his eyes and stared at the milk ball that suddenly appeared in front of him.

Zhilan pulled Abao over and said, "Little Princess, you..."

She didn't know how to explain, so when she saw the Ninth Prince, she quickly bowed to him.

Zhilan was in a panic and wanted to take Abao away.

Po won't leave.

Why doesn't Ninth Brother speak?

Grandma was also panicked and quickly protected the Ninth Prince. "Greetings to the Tenth Princess, Little Prince, let's go back."

A Bao was confused. She thought that the Ninth Brother looked a little abnormal.

"Jing'er." A scream was heard, followed by a snow-white figure walking quickly towards them.

It's Concubine Chun.

Concubine Chun looked Emperor Rongjing up and down and found that he was not injured. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Why did you come out in such a cold weather? Grandma, why don't you take Jing'er back to the palace."

Concubine De also arrived.

Concubine Rou and Concubine Hui also came over when they heard the noise.

"Ah, isn't this the Ninth Prince who never leaves the house? Hey, he still can't speak? He's already six years old. Sister Chunfei, don't worry. I believe the Ninth Prince will be fine when he grows up."

Hui-maid said that there was a hint of mockery in her words.

The Ninth Prince has been unable to speak since birth. Although he is smart, he is mute.

In the royal family, a child with a physical injury would have no blessings.

Since he was a child, the emperor has often asked miracle doctors to treat the ninth prince, but there was no way he could be cured.

Natural.

Maybe the Ninth Prince has a bad fate.

He is destined to be a prince, but not lucky enough to be one.

Concubine Chun was of higher rank than Concubine Hui, and when she heard this, she became angry, but she could not do anything to Concubine Hui.

After all, Huibin is the biological mother of the third prince.

If a concubine has a child, even if he is of low rank, other concubines cannot dispose of him at will.

[Brother Jiuhuang is so handsome, it's a pity that he can't speak]

Defei lowered her head and glanced at Abao.

Abao likes the Ninth Prince.

The Ninth Prince quickly hid behind Concubine Chun.

His whole body was shaking like chaff in a sieve.

He, he, he——heard his sister’s thoughts? ?

But my sister didn't say anything just now.

[Well... he is missing a soul, so his intelligence is not complete, so of course he can't speak.]

Defei's heart skipped a beat.

[Among the three souls and seven spirits, the Ninth Brother is missing one spirit]

A Bao could actually see that Rong Jing was different from ordinary people.

Di Rongjing was stunned.

At such a young age, how could he not understand what his sister was thinking?

Concubine Chun didn't want to say anything more to the three of them, so she pulled Di Rongjing away.

Di Rongjing didn't leave. He looked straight at Abao and wanted to go forward and grab Abao's little hand, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Concubine Chun was stunned and shocked, "Oh, Jing'er, please don't touch the Tenth Princess."

The Tenth Princess is the apple of the Emperor's and the Empress Dowager's eye, and Jing'er is a disastrous prince. If the Tenth Princess gets hurt because of Jing'er, Jing'er will definitely not survive.

Concubine Chun has been relying on Jing'er for her whole life. If Jing'er is gone, she will not be able to survive.

Concubine Chun went to pull Rong Jing, and Concubine De said, "Sister, let Abao play with the Ninth Prince for a while. I think they get along well. The Ninth Prince is also willing to get close to Abao."

Concubine Chun was stunned.

Seeing Rong Jing holding A Bao's little hand, her eyes instantly became red.

Rong Jing could not speak since he was a child and often kept to himself. The maids and eunuchs would not get close to him. Only she and her grandmother took care of him.

As time went by, Rong Jing became a little withdrawn and more timid.

Rong Jing always hides when he sees outsiders.

Six years!

Six whole years!

Concubine Chun had never seen Rong Jing approach anyone on his own initiative, with A Bao being an exception.

"Pot...what a good deal." A Bao looked into Di Rongjing's eyes, which were tinged with green, like jade, and had a hint of nobility in their clarity.

Di Rongjing put aside the fear in his heart and looked at her expectantly.

He wants to play with sister Abao.

But will sister Abao pay attention to him?

It seemed that everyone in the palace disliked him, and whenever they saw him, they would deliberately avoid him.

A-Bao bared his white teeth and smiled, "Hey, porridge, go get your bowl!"

The Ninth Prince's face turned red with excitement and he nodded heavily.

Abao was almost one year old. The Ninth Prince seemed to be worried that she would slip, so he held her little hand and went to the Plum Garden with her.

Concubine Chun widened her eyes, pulled Concubine De beside her, and swallowed in disbelief, "Sister Defei, am I dazzled?"

In the snow, the Ninth Prince and Abao were playing happily.

Snowflakes fell on the Ninth Prince, and Abao considerately went over to help him wipe off the snow.

Defei was pleased that Abao was a little lucky star, like a little sun in the world, able to illuminate dark places and warm others.

"This is a good start for the Ninth Prince," said Concubine De.

Concubine Chun responded excitedly, wiping her tears with a handkerchief, "Yes, yes, yes, I didn't expect that Jing'er doesn't reject Abao and likes Abao so much."

She cried with joy.

She has seen her son's loneliness for six years.

But there were many rumors about him in the palace. The facts were right before her eyes and she could not defend or explain them. She once thought that perhaps she had committed sins in her previous life and her own children were suffering in this life.

But if there really is retribution and reincarnation, she hopes she can take Rong Jing's place.

Concubine De looked at the two little figures and smiled slightly, "Concubine Chun, don't worry, maybe the Ninth Prince's illness will be cured in the future."

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!

Concubine Chun responded repeatedly, "In the past few years, I have made up my mind. If anyone can cure my Jing'er, I will kowtow to him and burn incense to him every day, and worship him well."

Concubine Hui and Concubine Rou stood aside and looked at each other.

"Hey, Sister Junfei, no matter how bad the Ninth Prince is, at least he is by your side. He is nothing like the Fifth Prince..."

They were all demoted to their fiefdoms.

She gave birth to a son, and it was the same as not having one.

Miss you day and night.

Hui-bin looked at the two children in the plum garden, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.

On the way back to the palace, Concubine Rou and Concubine Hui were humming songs all the way, looking very happy.

This made Hui-pin very upset.

She has been feeling upset lately, and always feels that something big is going to happen.

"Sister Roufei, are you willing?"

"what?"

"Tenth Princess. Since she was born, the Emperor has never come to our palace again. Don't you want to have another child? How can you have one if the Emperor doesn't come? You are still in the mood to sing now. I really don't know what you are thinking."

Hui-pin complained, but she didn't dare to say anything too aggressive.

She was of low rank, but she couldn't hold back these words.

Concubine Rou was a big-breasted, no-brained woman, so she didn't mind it that much. "Even if the emperor doesn't come for a year or two, he will come in the future."

Huibin secretly scolded Concubine Rou for being stupid, wondering where Concubine Rou got such confidence from.

"What if the Emperor doesn't go?"

Concubine Rou was stunned for a moment, obviously she had never thought about this question.

Hui-pin said intermittently, "As time goes by, Sister Rou-fei will get older. Will it really be easier for her to get pregnant?"

“I really haven’t thought about this question.”

Huipin chuckled, "Sister Roufei, I have heard of a secret method to have a child. Do you want to try it?"

Concubine Rou glanced at her and asked, "Why don't you try?"

"I just heard about it. Besides, I have no plans to have children now. As you know, the third child is troublesome. One is enough for me to discipline. I want to wait until he gets married before having one. This way, I can have some free time."

Concubine Rou believed it.

Hui-bin's words were sincere.

"Then tell me, what is the method?"

…

Wish you all a happy New Year 2024!

This is the first New Year that my sisters and I celebrate together, hahahaha.

I hope that in the new year, sisters will have money, be loved, safe and happy.

I also hope that we can be together, have more companionship and more joy.
