Chapter 29 I am Jiujiu
The Empress Dowager, dressed in brocade robes, sat on the high platform and embraced the little dumpling in her arms. Her fingertips, painted with cinnamon, tapped the little dumpling's nose: "Smile, smile. My Fu Ning is so cute."
【I'm Chuchu!】
The Empress Dowager finally breathed a sigh of relief. There were no ugly people in the royal family; the Empress and His Majesty were both handsome, how could Fu Ning be so special…
"The child is still young, he'll grow up nicely!" The Empress Dowager held the little dumpling and showed it off to the surrounding concubines. "Let's see who dares to say anything bad about our Fu Ning now!"
【I'm Chuchu!】
Chirp waved her little hand in protest; she's Chirp!
The Queen remained silent, unable to even muster a smile. She had just handed Funing and Jiujiu over to Yun Jinglan, but who knew they would be kidnapped by the Queen Mother on the way?
What was even more unexpected was that the Empress Dowager only saw the serving maids and didn't look at the children. She picked one up casually and even picked up the wrong one.
Now admitting that you are blaming the Queen Mother for having poor eyesight or that her little Funing is not good-looking?
No, she didn't say a word! Anyway, no one dared to spoil it. The next time she saw Funing, she would say that the child had turned back into the same child in one day!
Defei, who was closest to the empress dowager, squinted her eyes and looked again and again at the baby in the empress dowager's arms.
Actually, she couldn't see clearly either.
Consort De was literally blind, meaning her eyesight wasn't very good. Although she was one of the four consorts, she wasn't favored by the emperor, so naturally she had to seize the opportunity to curry favor with the Empress Dowager and the Empress.
There is no one who doesn't tell lies when they have worked in the palace. Even though she knew that Princess Funing would not grow up to be what the Queen Mother described, she still had to praise her!
"Your Majesty the Empress Dowager is wise. I can tell at a glance that Princess Funing is a capable person who can govern the country and bring peace to the nation!"
The Queen Mother: “?”
"Consort De, if you can't speak properly, you don't have to."
[This Consort De not only has poor eyesight, but she's also not very bright!]
Consort De twisted her handkerchief tightly, her face flushed with urgency, "Did I say something wrong?"
You're right, Fu Ning is amazing!
Unfortunately, Concubine De couldn't hear her, and suddenly she said, "The princess doesn't like red clothes, she likes weapons!"
The Empress Dowager's forehead vein throbbed, and she snapped, "Shut up!"
Why is Fu Ning using knives, guns, sticks or clubs when she is so cute? How disgraceful!
Chirp's Sadness: [I'll say it again, I'm Chirp!]
The corners of the Queen's mouth twitched. She actually agreed with Concubine De's opinion. It was a pity that Funing was a girl, otherwise she would be really suitable for riding a horse and killing the enemy.
She was told that her eyesight was poor, but she knew it in her heart.
Consort De was still reflecting on herself when she suddenly felt the Empress's approving gaze upon her. Although she couldn't see it clearly, she was certain that Her Majesty the Empress was very pleased with her!
"Your Majesty, I..."
"Alright, the banquet is about to begin, Consort De, please be quiet."
Queen: It would be impolite to say any more!
Chirp was getting really bored, looking at this and that.
These people are so boring, they don't even say a word.
[If only I were with my mother! Those aunties are such a chatterbox, gossiping about everyone!]
The Su family was caught off guard by the misunderstanding that Jiujiu was taken away by the Queen Mother. They were even more amused and helpless when they saw Princess Funing coming back with Yun Jinglan.
Fu Ning came to find Qiu Qiu, and she was unhappy that Qiu Qiu wasn't there. She pouted and was about to cry.
The little palace maid holding her exclaimed, "The princess is crying!"
Yun Jinglan: “…”
The little palace maid was overjoyed. She had been serving her young mistress for months, and her mistress was incredibly well-behaved, almost like a wooden doll. Today, she had suddenly been able to cry and laugh at the same time!
How rare!
Yun Jinglan couldn't really let Princess Funing cry, so she quickly sent someone to tell the Queen to exchange the child back.
Fu Ning waved her little hand: "Woo!"
Let’s go! Find Chuchu!
When Fu Ning returned to the Empress's side, her eyes were red, which made the Empress feel a pang of heartache.
The Empress Dowager stared in disbelief: "How...this..."
The person opposite is Fu Ning, and whose child is she holding?!
Yun Jinglan immediately stepped forward and said, "Your humble servant greets the Empress Dowager and the Empress. May the Empress Dowager be well and may the Empress be well."
Empress Dowager: "The wife of the Marquis of Wenyang, please rise and speak."
Yun Jinglan: "Thank you, Queen Mother."
The Empress Dowager realized she had made a mistake and brought someone else's child by mistake.
Chirp chirped angrily in her sweet, childlike voice, "I already told you I'm Chirp!"
Yun Jinglan almost tore her sleeve before she managed to hold back her laughter. She could just imagine Qiuqiu's indignant expression as she repeatedly reiterated who she was.
Fu Ning, whom the Empress was holding, suddenly nodded: "Uh!"
Yes, she is Chuchu!
As if understanding Princess Fu Ning's meaning, Qiu Qiu turned her head and stared at the super cool young lady with bright eyes: [You understand me!]
Funing echoed, "Hmm!"
The baby's communication language, which resembled battlefield coded language, left the entire audience in silence. How exactly did they communicate?
Consort De: "Waaaaah, I'm so touched! Princess Funing and the granddaughter of the Marquis of Wenyang are such a perfect match! I'm so anxious I can talk!"
Everyone: "..."
They can talk now, but they see that you are not very good at talking.
Then the Empress Dowager banned Concubine De from speaking for three days.
If she said a few more words, Funing might even change his gender!
Funing raised his eyes coldly and glanced at Concubine De: "Hmm!"
Good taste!
Chiu Chiu: [Sister is right!]
The Empress Dowager was slightly disappointed and handed Qiuqiu to Yun Jinglan. No one else dared to utter a sound. Even after Yun Jinglan returned to her seat with Qiuqiu in her arms, she still couldn't figure out what Princess Fu Ning had said that was right.
Seeing her frown, Su Junyao thought something was wrong, so he held her hand and asked in a low voice, "Did the Empress Dowager reprimand you?"
Yun Jinglan shook her head, and not only did not scold her, she also gave Jiujiu a pair of gold bracelets as compensation.
that is……
What is Princess Fu Ning trying to express?
Su Junyao: “?”
I've heard of Princess Funing, this special princess, and these past few days, His Majesty has mentioned her whenever he's mentioned Qiuqiu.
It is true that His Majesty loves Princess Funing, but he seems to have more worries than anything else.
Su Junyao patted Yun Jinglan's hand and comforted her: "Princess Funing doesn't like to express herself, so don't make blind guesses."
Chuchu pouted, not allowing anyone to criticize her older sister: "Sister Fu Ning is clearly very expressive!"
【Mmm, uh, ah!】
[Baby language level 10!]
Su Junyao and Yun Jinglan: “???” What is this and what level?
Seeing her parents' confused expressions, Chiu Chiu shook her head: "How silly!"
In order to maintain family harmony, Su Junyao and Yun Jinglan decided to refuse to communicate with Jiujiu from now on.
If this continues, Qiuqiu will become the youngest person in the family to be beaten!
This year's New Year's Eve banquet was simple. Emperor Jingming himself was tired of spending this time of reunion chatting with a group of people. After saying a few hurried words, he signaled everyone to eat and drink quickly, and to go home for the New Year.
His Majesty the Emperor, who has worked hard for a year, also wants to celebrate the New Year!
Halfway through the banquet, everyone began to relax.
Chiu Chiu's eyes were filled with longing for the delicious food in front of her, so she hugged the milk bestowed by the Queen and drank it to stave off her hunger.
As she struggled to control her drooling, she suddenly felt her little finger being tugged.
"Hmm?"
【Who are you? 】
