Feng Wanwan's small, chubby face and big eyes like black grapes were full of trust in Feng Xunlu.
Concubine Hua swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue and changed her words with a smile.
"Just let Lu'er hug her. Wanwan has always liked her. The two children haven't seen each other for so many days, and Wanwan misses her terribly."
"But, my lady, what if Lu'er loses his temper and drops the little princess..."
Concubine Li still has concerns.
Concubine Hua smiled and waved her hand.
"It's fine."
"I won't drop my little sister! Besides, my little sister said she wants me to hold her too!"
Feng Xunlu spoke loudly.
Then he rushed forward and hugged Feng Wanwan tightly in Concubine Hua's arms.
However, she did not pick up Feng Wanwan as Concubine Li had worried, but instead held her again and again in Concubine Hua's arms.
The two little girls were giggling, their eyes curved into crescent shapes.
Concubine Hua and Concubine Li were relieved and started laughing.
Princess Jing, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but show envy in her eyes.
"Princess Mingxin and Princess Chunxi are so good. They are so cute together. Just looking at them makes my heart ache.
Your Highness and Sister Li are both blessed to have such lovely children by their side. I envy them so much."
"You envy children? What's so difficult about that? Why not ask the Emperor to give you one later?"
Seeing this, Concubine Hua smiled gently.
"You're still young, half a year younger than me. Isn't it easy to have a child?"
"yes."
Concubine Li nodded.
The birth of her child was an accident. The emperor was forced to drink drugged wine by Concubine Cao, but by chance the emperor entered her room and that's how Lu'er was born.
The emperor never came again after that, and she and Lu'er had a very difficult life.
Even now, she has been promoted to the position of a noble lady, and Lu'er has become a respected and beloved princess, but the emperor has still never visited her Qixiang Palace.
Of course, Concubine Li didn't expect that. She was already content with having Lu'er and didn't need any other favors from the emperor.
Concubine Jing is naturally different from her. Concubine Jing is one of the four concubines. She accompanied the emperor earlier than her sister, the imperial concubine. It is said that she was also very favored before her sister, the imperial concubine.
The Emperor naturally has greater affection for her. Now that the Imperial Concubine has spoken, the Emperor will definitely be willing to move into her palace in the future. Empress Jing is young, so it won't be difficult for her to have a child.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Jing's face became gloomy. Although there was still a smile on the corners of her lips, sadness was revealed in the corners of her eyebrows and eyes.
"Your Majesty, I am deeply grateful for your concern for me. However, I am afraid that I will let your kindness down."
"Why? Could it be that because the Emperor favors me, you've turned your love for him into hatred?"
Concubine Hua was extremely surprised.
Concubine Jing quickly waved her hands.
"No, no, the Emperor and the Empress are a match made in heaven, and they are of one mind. Although I feel that I am not as favored as the Empress, the Emperor has not treated me unfairly in other aspects. I am grateful to the Emperor, so how could I resent him?
It is my own body that is not strong enough to bear a child."
"How could that be? You've always been in good health."
Concubine Hua and Concubine Li were both surprised.
A deep bitterness overflowed from the corners of Concubine Jing's lips, her voice was hoarse, and it took her a long time to utter a word with difficulty.
"When I first entered the mansion with the Empress, she was very kind to me and often made soup for me. I was young and didn't know how to drink it, so I drank it all.
After a long time of not getting pregnant, I took the opportunity of returning to my parents' home to see my relatives and consulted a doctor. Only then did I know that my body was seriously weakened and had already..."
"What? Sister Jingfei, could it be you?"
Concubine Li was so shocked when she heard this that she couldn't utter the rest of the sentence.
Concubine Hua said in a low voice with a serious expression.
"That woman has a vicious heart! She's already plotting against the concubines! She's so cruel!"
"Yes, I didn't know the reason at first. I thought it was because I didn't take good care of myself, so I couldn't have children. That's when the doctor asked me if I had eaten anything very cold.
Only then did I remember that the Queen had never tasted a single bite of the soup she had cooked for me.
She, she has such a black heart!"
After Concubine Jing finished speaking, her whole body couldn't stop shaking, and tears fell, so bitter.
She was sent to the mansion by her family. She knew that she was plain in appearance and too old-fashioned in character, so she would not be favored much. She just wanted a place to stay and a child so that she could live a simple life.
But she never expected that even her right to have children was taken away from her.
This is equivalent to cutting off her hope in life.
Concubine Li gasped.
Concubine Hua also took a deep breath and tried her best to keep her voice steady.
"Then how did you endure it until now? Why didn't you confront the Queen and ask the Emperor to give you justice?
Our emperor is not a fool. If he knew about this, he would not let it go and would definitely give you justice."
"I wanted to make a scene, but..."
Concubine Jing wiped the tears from her face and raised her red eyes.
"But that was not the right time. Our emperor was busy ascending the throne, so I had no choice but to go to the empress dowager."
Feng Wanwan, who was playing with Feng Xunlu, frowned when she heard this.
[Empress Dowager? It would be a waste of time to ask the Empress Dowager about this!]
[The Queen Mother and the Empress are on the same page. The Queen Mother must have known everything about what the Empress did, but she simply chose to turn a blind eye.]
