"What's wrong with you today? You keep saying these useless things. Let me ask you, I asked you to hang out in front of your father more often recently, have you listened?

Go to the Grand Tutor's Mansion more often. Have you been there before?"

"Mother, I've already told you that I'm not cut out to be an emperor. I won't do anything you ask me to do. I only do what I like to do."

"What do you like to do? You are in the royal family, so you have no say in it! If you don't climb up, when your brothers climb to the top, you will die."

"If I die, it's my fate, I accept it. But before that, I will never do anything to hurt my brothers and father." The third prince turned around, "Mother, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

He seemed to finally understand the reason why his mother didn't kiss him.

It turns out... from beginning to end, he was just a pawn in his mother's struggle for power.

She never considered him her son.

Huibin looked at the third prince's back with her beautiful brows furrowed.

"What's wrong with the third brother today? He seems weird."

Huibin turned around and went to the small Buddhist temple.

Hui-in-law believed in Buddhism.

This is no secret in the harem.

On the incense table in the small Buddhist hall, there is a small rag doll covered with red cloth, so it is difficult to see what the doll looks like.

Huibin knelt on the cushion, clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and began to chant devoutly.

Recently, she has been unable to do anything and is in a bad mood.

Look, today my younger brother is in jail again, and the third prince is causing trouble again.

She must come to worship the little Bodhisattva, hoping to get the little Bodhisattva's blessing.

Hui-pin poured out all the troubles in her heart, and then she slowly opened her eyes. The little doll covered with red cloth actually glowed red, as if it had heard her prayers.

…

…

In the evening, Abao got a new vest made by his mother.

It's bright red, made of pure cotton, and has a few small floral patterns on it.

Po was very happy.

"My queen, look at the little princess, she's so happy, rolling around on the bed." Zhilan chuckled. The little princess was the cutest child she had ever seen.

Of course other babies are also cute, but Zhilan only likes her own little master.

"As long as Abao is happy," Concubine De also laughed. "It's almost the end of the year, and when the first snow falls, the weather will be especially cold. Mother needs to prepare a few more small clothes for Abao."

[Mother used to be able to weave clothes and sew clothes, but now she is willing to wash her hands and do needlework for me. Thank you for your hard work~]

Concubine De continued to smile.

It’s not hard at all.

A mother doesn't feel tired working hard for her children, as long as her children are healthy and happy.

In the evening, Concubine De took Abao to play on the wooden horse for a while, and Abao was so tired that he kept crying.

Concubine De knew what her precious daughter was thinking.

He must be greedy.

I want to have a snack.

Abao has been having stomach problems these past few days. He hasn't been eating properly and has been drinking very little milk.

Concubine De then gave up all her snacks.

It was no use for Abao to throw himself on the bed and roll about.

When it comes to Abao's health, Concubine De is more strict than usual.

[Ahhh, I want to eat candy, I want to eat meat, I want to eat chicken...]

Po sat on the couch, pointing outward with his little hands, "Chicken, chicken, chicken..."

"Abao, until your stomach gets better, you can't eat anything you want. You can only drink milk and porridge."

Po: "...No...drink it away..."

Don’t drink porridge!

"That...meat...slurp." Abao tugged at the corner of Concubine De's clothes. His big eyes looked pitiful. He pursed his lips, as if he was about to pout. Tears welled up in his eye sockets, as if he was crying but not quite.

Afraid that Concubine De didn't understand, she made a sucking motion and pointed to her belly, "My dear... I'm hungry..."

I’m hungry!

Eat meat, eat meat!

Defei did not agree with Abao. Abao knew that his mother was very strict in this regard and it was really difficult for him to do so.

Finally, he was so hungry that he drank a large bottle of milk and fell into a deep sleep.

In his sleep, Abao sucked his little finger, slurping it.

Being a human being is tiring.

Being a baby is even more tiring.

…

Two months passed in a flash and Bao is eight months old now.

She has acquired a new skill, she can crawl faster and even walk a few steps occasionally.

It’s just that I wear thicker clothes in winter, which is somewhat inconvenient.

But this doesn't stop Po from traveling around.

Bao woke up as usual in the morning, rubbed his eyes, and drank milk obediently from the cup.

Defei put small clothes on her.

But Abao's eyes were always fixed on the chickens running in the yard.

Defei was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and she did not expose Abao.

She always felt that the chicken would be gone in a few days.

Hmm...is Po staring at the chicken? He is actually staring at the walking meat.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother sent someone to tell you that she has summoned you to go to Cining Palace today. She also specifically instructed you to bring the little princess with you. The Queen Mother may miss our little princess." Zhilan reported with great pride.

Defei responded, and when the master and servants finished packing and took Abao to Cining Palace, it was almost noon.

When we arrived at Cining Palace, we saw Princess Changping, as well as Concubine Hui, Concubine Rou, Concubine Chun and several other concubines.

"Imperial sister-in-law." Princess Changping took the lead and walked towards Concubine De.

"Dudu..." Abao stretched out his hands for Changping to hug him.

She likes her aunt.

Changping was smiling happily. She was in a much better mood this month, but she missed Abao more and more.

The other concubines saw this scene and couldn't help but smack their lips in amazement.

Princess Changping has always liked children, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that among all the royal heirs, Princess Changping seems to like Abao the most.

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!

"Abao, this is for you." Princess Changping gave Abao a golden key.

Hanging around Po's neck.

Po's eyes lit up, "Krab... Dudu..."

【Golden key, golden key】

[My mother gave her a gold key, and my aunt gave her another one. Is it popular to give gold keys as gifts now?]

The other concubines stared with wide eyes, "I heard that Princess Changping's dowry is quite a lot. The late emperor prepared a lot for Princess Changping."

"This key can't be the safe of Princess Changping, right?"

"..."

Seeing this, Concubine De hurriedly stopped him, "Princess, this is too expensive."

Princess Changping smiled and said, "It's not valuable. Abao is the most valuable. Nothing in the gold or silver vault can compare to Abao."

If it weren't for Abao, she would have become someone else's stepmother, raising someone else's children, waiting to be angered to death.

"Put it away. I'm happy if Abao is happy." Princess Changping kissed Abao's little face and couldn't let go of it.

Po looked at Princess Changping's head.

[The black air is gone, it’s all white air, auntie is going to have good luck]

[A flash of red light, a red star moving, aunt's second spring is about to appear hehehe]

Changping's mind moved.

The second spring...? ?

After a while, the Queen Mother came out.

It has been nearly five months since the Empress Dowager's last birthday celebration, and the New Year is approaching.

At that time, all the imperial doctors said that the Empress Dowager would not survive the New Year.

I don’t know what happened in the past few months, but the Empress Dowager’s condition has been getting better day by day.
