As in the past.
Mu Qianqian loved it most when Consort Shu took her to see the flowers.
But now, no matter how much Consort Shu tries to coax her...
Mu Qianqian didn't even raise her head.
"Your Majesty, why don't you just give Qianqian to me? It's getting late, don't keep Consort Qing waiting in the palace for too long." Before Consort Shu could finish speaking...
Emperor Yuanwu clearly felt that Mu Qianqian's arms around his neck tightened.
Could it be that your daughter doesn't want him to go to Consort Qing's place, which is why she's acting so strangely?
Emperor Yuanwu turned his head and patiently said to Mu Qianqian, "Qianqian, Father has something to do right now. How about Father comes to have breakfast with Qianqian first thing tomorrow morning?"
Mu Qianqian remained motionless.
"What's wrong with this child today?" Consort Shu asked helplessly.
Consort Qing was just conferred her title today.
According to palace rules.
Emperor Yuanwu is going to Consort Qing's palace today.
But it's already this late.
Emperor Yuanwu was still staying in Qiluan Garden, and if word got out...
I'm afraid she'll have another charge of vying for favor.
Even though Mu Qianqian kept holding onto Emperor Yuanwu and wouldn't let him leave.
There will also be rumors that she instigated the children to do this.
Consort Shu was suffering in her heart.
She didn't want to be summoned by the Empress Dowager first thing tomorrow morning and be accused of using her daughter to compete for favor.
Although she could read Mu Qianqian's mind and knew that she had her own ideas, she also knew that her ideas had already surpassed the intelligence of children her age.
But she couldn't tell anyone about it.
"Your Majesty, give Qianqian to me." Consort Shu said, reaching out to hug Mu Qianqian's waist, wanting to pull her into her arms.
Even if she didn't use her full strength.
Consort Shu felt that she was strong enough to hold a baby who was a little over a month old.
But she couldn't budge it at all.
Is Mu Qianqian really that strong?
But at this very moment.
Mu Qianqian burst into tears in Emperor Yuanwu's arms.
Consort Shu: ...
She really didn't use any force.
This cry.
It broke Emperor Yuanwu's heart.
"Alright, alright, Daddy won't leave. Daddy will stay here with our Qianqian, okay?" Emperor Yuanwu coaxed patiently, "Our Qianqian doesn't want to leave Daddy, does she?"
Unexpectedly, Mu Qianqian was unyielding and impervious to both soft and hard approaches.
She wouldn't listen to Emperor Yuanwu at all; instead, she cried even harder.
Finally, she cried so hard that bubbles came out of her nose, and her tears soaked Emperor Yuanwu's neck. She seemed to have suffered some great injustice, and she cried so hard that she hiccuped and her shoulders trembled.
Emperor Yuanwu held her like that, letting her rub against his neck.

Qingyan sat on the edge of the bed.
The sky outside turned from daytime to night.
As night fell, the entire palace fell completely silent.
"Has His Majesty sent any message?" Qingyan asked impatiently.
"Your Majesty, no." Huanhuan replied, "Perhaps His Majesty still has some official business to attend to. Your Majesty, please wait patiently."
The emperor did not wait.
But then came the news that Yikun Palace had caught fire.
"It's terrible! Yikun Palace is on fire! Come quickly and put out the fire!"
"Hurry up and send someone!"
"Yikun Palace is on fire!"
"What?" Qingyan's eyes trembled, and she stood up from the bed.
She walked quickly to the palace gate and looked in the direction of Yikun Palace.
really.
Smoke filled the sky above Yikun Palace, and a fire suddenly spread, with flames shooting into the sky from the roof of Yikun Palace one after another.
Thick black smoke billowed, accompanied by screams and cries of alarm from palace maids and eunuchs.
However, it is the height of summer at this time of year.
There was nothing left in the room to keep warm.
The Empress's meals were always provided by the Imperial Kitchen.
There was no small kitchen inside Yikun Palace.
How did such a huge fire start?
