Chapter 4 Someone is coming to the palace
Xiaoyue probably knows that her daughter was an amazing master in her previous life. Her name is also Ruoxi, and she also has a master.
Her daughter came with the memory of her previous life. She has boundless ability and knows everything about the past and present.
"Your Highness, there is something else that will make you happy!" Hongmei kept it a secret.
"Hmm? What's the good news?" Xiaoyue looked up at Hongmei, smiled, and asked.
"Well, mother is really a great beauty. She is so charming when she smiles!" Ruoxi woke up and looked at her mother's stunning face. Even if she looked from bottom to top, she was amazed. However, she frowned: "I just don't know what my bastard father looks like? Is he worthy of my mother's cherishment!"
Bastard father?
Xiaoyue remembered what Dongju had told her some time ago, that the general would go out every night these days, and most of the time, he would not come back all night.
Because she was pregnant, Shangguan Jinghong said that he was afraid that it would affect her at night, so they had been sleeping in separate rooms for the past few months.
"Princess!" Just as Xiaoyue was lost in thought, a familiar voice made her shudder.
"Madame Jin?" Xiaoyue stretched out her hand to lift the quilt and was about to get out of bed.
"Oh, my princess, please don't move, don't move!" Madam Jin hurried forward, she bent over and pressed Xiaoyue down, saying: "The Queen Mother was so excited when she heard that you gave birth that she spilled the tea!"
"I..." Xiaoyue's tears fell again.
"Okay, Princess, let's not say anything. Look at how thin you are. I will take care of you no matter what. When you are out of confinement, we will go to the palace and let the Queen Mother see you. She will be happy." Nanny Jin patted Xiaoyue's hand and said softly.
Ruoxi looked at Nanny Jin. She was not old, probably in her early forties, with a clean face and a kind look. After all, she came from the palace and was close to the Queen Mother.
Therefore, even if she was wearing ordinary clothes and dressed plainly, just one glance could make people feel her elegance and nobility.
"This nanny looks good, she must be a strong-willed person. Well, now she can protect mother. Now that mother is safe, maybe she can help uncle the emperor. After all, there are still three years left, so there's no rush!" Ruoxi hummed with satisfaction. Xiaoyue
heard her daughter praising Nanny Jin, she lowered her eyes and looked at her daughter, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips: her daughter is really smart, she can recognize Nanny Jin at a glance.
"This is the little princess, right? She looks like the princess when she was a child, so beautiful!" Nanny Jin picked up Ruoxi and couldn't help praising her.
Even the big devil loves beauty and likes to be praised.
Ruoxi was happy and grinned at Nanny Jin.
"Oh, the little princess smiled at me, that's great, that's great!" Nanny Jin happily held the little princess in her arms, very excited.
"Cough cough cough..."
A cough came from the side.
"Huh?" Nanny Jin turned her head and saw a little boy climbing down from the chair. His face was pale, his eyes were dull, and he was staggering. She put the little princess down and couldn't help asking, "Princess, is this... the little prince?"
She had heard that the little prince was born prematurely. From birth to now, he couldn't speak, and he couldn't even cry or urinate. The queen mother often sent people to visit the general's mansion, but she never saw the little prince, and she didn't know whether the little prince used the medicinal herbs she brought.
"Lin'er, come here!" Xiao Yue waved to her son.
Xiao Ruilin stood there with his neck shrunk, motionless.
"Good boy, come here to your mother!" Nanny Jin took a step forward, picked up the little prince and walked to the bed and put him down.
Seeing that her son's lips had faded a lot, Xiao Yue's eyes brightened.
"Lin'er, come and play with your sister for a while." Xiao Yue held her son's hand, her face full of expectation: "Look, your sister is so cute, isn't she?"
Xiao Ruilin looked at his sister with a dull look.
"Poisoning has lasted for a long time, and it can't be cured overnight. Take your time. At least your weak mother seems to have become more capable. I hope she can protect her brother!" The newborn baby was so energetic. After she finished speaking, she arched her head in the cradle and continued to sleep.
"Princess, are you feeding yourself?" Looking at the situation in the room, Nanny Jin asked, and her face became a little cold.
"Well, Xi'er, I'm going to feed her myself." Xiao Yue nodded.
"Hongmei, Dongju, is there someone coming from the palace?" A shout rang out from outside. Hongmei opened the door and went out, and heard the person scolding: "Why didn't the person come through the front hall first to report to the old lady? There is really no rules!"
"Oh, I didn't know that there are still people who have to set rules in front of a princess!" Nanny Jin got up and walked out.
Baby Ruoxi had fallen asleep in a daze, but her little hand was suddenly pinched, and the pain woke her up immediately.
What she saw was Xiao Ruilin's handsome face. If it weren't for the panic and fear on his face, Baby Ruoxi almost thought that her elixir had worked and the boy had recovered.
"Lin'er, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Yue immediately reached out and grabbed her son's shoulder. She frowned and said, "Are you afraid of the housekeeper?"
"It seems that this housekeeper is not a good person. He must have hurt my brother. Hey, if I still have the ability, I will definitely deal with him." Baby Ruoxi clenched her little fist.
Xiao Yue hugged her son tightly in her arms. She bit her lip and made up her mind secretly: no matter what, she must protect the children!
Even the little lady knows to protect her brother. As a mother, she has let it go for so many years. She really shouldn't do that!
Outside the door, the voice of the housekeeper Lai Fu rang again.
"Excuse me, which nanny are you in the palace? Our old lady invites you to have tea!" Lai Fu's voice was not respectful, and even had some weirdness.
"Oh, old lady, do you know that the one who just gave birth is the eldest princess of the dynasty? Why doesn't she come to take care of her personally? All the wet nurses say so, and they are putting on airs and asking me to go and pay my respects to her, right?" Nanny Jin's voice was a little higher, with a harsh scolding.
She was really too angry. She heard that the princess's life in the general's mansion was not good, but every time the queen mother called General Shangguan, General Shangguan said that the princess was fine.
The queen mother never liked Shangguan Jinghong's appearance, and always felt that he was a mean person who was currying favor with the powerful.
"That's not what I meant. Madam, you misunderstood me." Seeing Madam Jin being so harsh, Lai Fu was puzzled. He smiled faintly and said, "No matter what, the old lady is a first-rank lady. As a madam, you should go and pay your respects to her!"
