Although Feng Wanwan's crying was fake, she was indeed hungry after being tossed around for so long.
After the wet nurse fed her and changed her diaper, Feng Wanwan sat in Concubine Hua's arms in high spirits, happily cradling an armful of gold and pearls.
[This time, we had a great harvest, and the gifts we received were all very valuable.]
[What a pity! If that green tea-minded male protagonist hadn't interrupted me, I would have definitely received more!]
[Never mind, these are enough. We can't just focus on quantity, we have to consider quality as well.]
She grabbed the gold bracelet with her little hand and brought it to her mouth, wanting to bite it with her teeth to see if it was pure gold.
However, when the gold bracelet touched her gums, Feng Wanwan realized that she was still a baby without any teeth.
This scene made Hua Fei purse her lips and smile secretly.
The wet nurse watched Feng Wanwan's movements, let out a low cry, and hurriedly reached out to grab Feng Wanwan's hand.
"Princess, you can't do that. Swallowing the gold will kill you."
"No problem, she just wanted to test whether the gold was real, not to swallow it."
Concubine Hua smiled and stopped the wet nurse's actions. She touched Feng Wanwan's little head with her hand and took those things over.
"My dear, the things in the palace are all specially selected and of the highest quality. They are all good. Mother will put them away for you first and give them to you when you need them, okay?"
“Ah…ah.”
Feng Wanwan responded to Hua Fei and gave her the thing in her arms.
But he only kept the gold bracelet in his hand, and his big eyes looked around, as if he was looking for something.
[Hey, where is my sister Lu? ]
"The princess kept this gold bracelet for herself, and she must have loved it very much. Could you please put it on her wrist for her, so she doesn't lose it?"
The wet nurse had no idea what she was thinking. Seeing that she was still holding the gold bracelet, she smiled and took it away.
Feng Wanwan suddenly retracted her hand, avoiding the wet nurse's hand.
The wet nurse was stunned.
Hua Fei spoke again.
"No need, she wants to give this gold bracelet to someone else."
She also looked outside the crowd and said casually.
"Go see if Princess Lu is still at the banquet. If she is, ask her to come over and tell her that Wanwan and I are looking for her."
Suzhi immediately took the order and left.
Not long after, she came back, her brows slightly furrowed.
"Your Majesty, Princess Lu was not at the table. I asked around, and a young eunuch said he seemed to have seen her and Princess Wen Yi leave from the south palace gate together. Perhaps the child was full and ran out to play."
"She went out to play... well, children love to play by nature. This banquet is boring, and she will get bored if she stays for too long. So let her go, and we'll talk about it later."
Concubine Hua felt a little regretful. Feng Xunlu was a well-behaved and sensible child, and she wanted to cultivate him.
But the child's mind is unstable. Perhaps children prefer to play with children of the same age. It seems that the little deer does not like to accompany Wanwan, a baby who cannot speak yet.
Never mind, it’s just that the child is unlucky and can’t get good things.
Thinking of this, Hua Fei's desire to cultivate and support Feng Xunlu faded a little.
However, at this moment, Feng Wanwan frowned and sounded the alarm.
[No! My sister Lu didn't go out with Wen Yi. She was tricked out by that little scoundrel Wen Yi. She might be in danger soon!]
[I remember now. Sister Lu died before she was five years old. The day she died was my mother's promotion ceremony.]
[The original book describes my mother's loss of me, leaving her furious and grief-stricken. She had no desire to serve the emperor and even fell out with her idiot father. To appease her, he promoted her to a higher rank, making her a noble concubine. However, during her promotion ceremony, news broke that Sister Lu had drowned.]
After my mother lost me, the imperial physician told her it was a girl. Since then, she's developed a fondness for and affection for girls. She wasn't close to many concubines; only Concubine Cao and Concubine Li had daughters. My mother originally had her eye on Sister Lu, but Concubine Cao couldn't possibly allow Concubine Li and Sister Lu to enjoy my mother's favor. So, she had Sister Lu tricked out and drowned.
Concubine Li was heartbroken, but Cao Xinhuan turned around and told my mother that Sister Lu had died on the day of her promotion ceremony, bringing bad luck to her. My mother then came to hate Concubine Li, believing her to be extremely unlucky. At Cao Xinhuan's instigation, she often humiliated her. After losing her beloved son and then being humiliated, she finally came to hate my mother too and joined the heroine's side.
[Though the situation in this life has changed, today is not only my full moon banquet, but also my mother and I's enthronement ceremony. And Sister Lu was so coincidentally called away by Wen Yi. She must be in danger!]
[So much time has passed, and there's still no news from Sister Lu. Could she be...?]
These news were like bombs exploding in Hua Fei's ears.
She suddenly woke up, became alert instantly, and shouted urgently.
"Suzhi, Princess Lu might be in danger. Quickly take people to find Princess Lu. We must find her and ensure her safety!"
"Yes, Master!"
Suzhi was startled, but then reacted quickly and answered.
Another low and hoarse voice sounded, stopping Suzhi from calling people to go with her.
"Master, no."
"Zhu Yinghuai? Why not?"
Hua Fei frowned and stared at the man, her face showing an unconcealable anxiety.
After giving birth to a child and becoming a mother, one can better understand a mother's feelings. Although according to Wanwan's narration, Li Changzai hated her in her previous life and perhaps did something bad to her, but as a mother, if anyone killed her Wanwan and still thought her Wanwan was unlucky, she would definitely find ways to torture the other person.
