Chapter 206 Recognition
When Pei Tingyue came back from bathing.
I heard crying.
Xiao Si’s crying.
When I entered the inner bedroom, I saw Xie Chen holding Xiao Si in his arms, at a loss, his big hands still patting him stiffly.
Seeing her, Xie Chen explained, "I just woke up and kept crying."
Pei Tingyue frowned: "Are you hungry?"
Xie Chen looked solemn and helpless: "He's not hungry. I just called the wet nurse over, but he won't drink."
Hearing this, Pei Tingyuexin asked a little: "Then what happened? Could it be that there were too many people today and he was scared?"
Xie Chen glanced at her and said comfortingly, "Don't worry too much. I've already asked Xia Yuanpan to come over. I'll check her pulse and we'll know."
Pei Tingyue nodded.
She stood up and held Xiao Si for a while, but Xiao Si didn't seem to be any better. He was still crying and looking around.
Pei Tingyue had a flash of inspiration: This child, he won’t recognize people, right?
The imperial concubine has been taking care of you all these days. Could it be that you are crying because you can't find the imperial concubine?
But now he is only three months old, can he recognize people?
Pei Tingyue decided to wait until the imperial physician examined him. If that didn’t work, he would send him to the imperial concubine to try.
As a result, someone came to Ningxiang Pavilion before the imperial physician arrived.
"How was your visit today?"
It was Concubine Song who came. When she heard the crying, she frowned and didn't even have time to greet Pei Tingyue. She walked a few steps to her side.
"Why is my son crying? Is he hungry?"
"No." Pei Tingyue decided to test what she had in mind and handed Xiao Si to the imperial concubine. "Hold it for a while, Your Majesty."
Concubine Song reached out to take it, held it in the hall and coaxed it, while also saying words like "Don't cry" and "It's so ugly".
The amazing thing is that Xiao Si’s crying became weaker and weaker, and in the end, no crying could be heard at all.
Pei Tingyue was surprised: "He's so smart, he already recognizes people at such a young age."
"What?" Concubine Song was stunned for a moment, then she lowered her head to look at Xiao Si, "You didn't see me cry?"
Xiao Si blinked slowly and chuckled.
Concubine Song was both moved and relieved.
Thinking back to when she first started taking care of Xiao Si, the child would cry all night long, and only when he was placed with Ting Yue would he feel better. Now, he was crying like this because he couldn't see her.
It’s really worth loving him.
But this made Concubine Song feel even more reluctant.
It seems that she can't stay for much longer, so how long can she take care of Xiao Si?
After sighing and groaning, Concubine Song openly took Xiao Si away.
Xie Chen was very happy about this.
Without Xiao Si, he naturally walked over and hugged Pei Tingyue to the bedside, "You've worked hard today, take a rest soon."
Pei Tingyue placed the furry head on his shoulder: "My waist is a little sore."
Xie Chen sat on the edge of the bed and said softly, "Just rub it and it will be fine."
Pei Tingyue said "hmm" and closed his eyes to enjoy it.
I don't even know when I fell asleep.
Xie Chen looked at her for a while, blew out the candles in the hall, and lay down beside her.

It has been almost a month since I came to Jiangzhou Palace.
Pei Tingyue asked Xie Chen when they would set off south.
The result was that they would leave after King Xuan came back.
Pei Tingyue calculated the time. If it was fast, King Xuan would almost arrive in Kyoto by now. It would take at least half a month for him to deal with Concubine Chen and return to Jiangzhou.
If the emperor goes south, the Pei family will not follow.
So while there is still half a month left, Pei Tingyue plans to reminisce with his family.
If a concubine wants to summon her family members into the palace, she needs Empress Cui's approval.
Unexpectedly, when he went to ask for instructions for the first time, Empress Cui graciously agreed that there was no need for him to ask her for a decision, and just let Pei Tingyue issue the decree as he pleased.
Pei Tingyue was very grateful and took Xiao Si to Qiwu Palace twice to express his gratitude.
Queen Cui was very fond of Xiao Si, and every time she went to see him, she would hold him for a long time.
Pei Tingyue looked at it and couldn't help but sigh.
If it weren't for those fights, Queen Cui's child would be three or four years old now and would call her mother in a soft and sweet voice.
What a pity...
Nothing lasts forever.
After hearing what Queen Cui said, Pei Tingyue summoned her mother twice.
Pei's mother always asked Yunshu's mother to accompany her. She came twice, and Yunshu's eyes were swollen from crying both times.
Mother Pei warned Pei Tingyue: "This child has served you since she was young. Now that she is old enough, you should find a good family for her."
Pei Tingyue nodded: "Mother, I know. Now that my third brother has joined the Imperial Guard, I have told him that if there are any good boys, he should pay special attention to them."
Yunshu was eighteen this year, and she had been thinking about this for a long time. She had originally planned to do it after giving birth, but the southern tour delayed her.
Let’s look for it first. If there is really a good one, let the two of them see it.
Yun Shu felt anxious when he heard this.
Because she had just cried, her voice was still hoarse: "My Lady, I will not leave you and the young prince."
Pei Tingyue laughed helplessly: "Silly girl, I can only feel relieved if you find a good home."
Yun Shu still shook her head: "I don't want it."
Pei Tingyue advised her: "What's the point of serving others in the palace all the time? If you leave the palace and become a royal consort, countless people will come to serve you."
Yun Shu was anxious: "This servant only wants to serve the Majesty and does not want to leave the palace."
Pei Tingyue saw that she was about to cry again, so she coaxed her and said, "Okay, okay, if you don't marry, you will stay by my side for the rest of your life."
In fact, she was reluctant to do so.
Never mind, just stay around for a while longer.
After getting this guarantee, Yun Shu felt relieved.
Seeing this, Mother Pei took Yunshu's hand and said, "Good child, you have taken care of Yueyue for so long, you should give her something. Since you are not anxious to find a good marriage, I will release your parents and your slave status."
She didn't care. Yun Shu was happy for her parents and immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, Madam."
Mother Pei helped her up and said with a smile, "A few days ago, the Empress came to visit her parents and gave them a lot of gold and silver. If our family is going to move to Kyoto, we must set up a shop. If your parents are willing, they can take care of it for us. If not, our family will pay for your parents to start a small business."
Yun Shu's tears streamed down, and she was filled with gratitude: "Thank you, ma'am. Thank you, ma'am."
Mother Pei sighed: "I should be the one to thank you. You have taken care of Yueyue for so long, with all your heart and soul."
Yun Shu cried and shook her head: "This is what a servant should do."
Pei Tingyue helped Yun Shu up, wiped her tears, and said distressedly: "Your makeup is all smudged, you look like a little cat. Go wash it quickly."
Yun Shu covered his face and walked out of the palace.
He was not careful for a moment and tripped over the door threshold and fell forward.
But he was supported in time.
The two looked at each other, and Liang An let her go first, "Why are you crying like this?"
They were already very familiar with each other during their service, so there was nothing to hide. Yun Shu pouted and said, "You are still the Empress."
Liang An asked, "What happened to the Empress?"
Yun Shu said, "He wants to marry me off to someone else."
Liang An's heart trembled twice, but she smiled, "Great, now you are the head maid beside the second-rank concubine. Not only do you have a rank, but you also have a bright future. You can find a good husband and live a comfortable life."
Yun Shu glared at him first, then walked over and deliberately stepped on his foot, gradually increasing the pressure. She smiled and said, "I won't marry, even if I die! If you want a good husband, let Steward Liang find one for you. The homosexual habit is quite common, and since you're the Steward's adopted son, others won't say anything. Just live happily with your good husband!"
Liang An: “…”
After watching the graceful figure walk away, he gave a faint smile.
