Li Chenjiao quickly recognized the voice as that of the wet nurse beside the First Prince. She paused for a moment and said, "Let's stay away from her."
If it were just Li Chenjiao herself, it wouldn't be a problem, but she also brought frozen pears with her today.
The persimmon didn't like to move at all. When Li Chenjiao brought out the frozen pears, the persimmon was already lying under the corridor in the east courtyard.
Hearing the noise, it barely shook its tail, rolled over, and then closed its eyes again to drift off to sleep.
In comparison, Dongli was more lively; once outside the yard, even Li Chenjiao had trouble keeping up with it.
At this moment, Dongli was only slightly more well-behaved because Dongsheng was leading her.
Although Li Chenjiao knew that Dongli was docile, she was naturally close to her family because she had always raised Dongli. However, she was bound to have some surprises when she met strangers.
Li Chenjiao then instructed, "Take the frozen pear to the other side, I'll sit here for a while."
This means that we should avoid certain princes.
Children are naturally curious. Even though the Second Princess was always held by Madam Chen and the others, her eyes would never leave the persimmons and frozen pears whenever Madam Chen brought her out.
Thinking of the Second Princess, Li Chenjiao couldn't help but smile again.
She said she came out to digest her food, but after walking for a while, Li Chenjiao felt tired and wanted to sit down.
Li Chenjiao watched as Dongsheng agreed to lead the frozen pear away, then smiled and said, "Once the Second Princess can walk, I'm afraid even if all of you plus the nannies work together, you won't be able to control that little girl."
That's true, the Second Princess is really active, she always seems to have inexhaustible energy.
Today, Qiu Hu, Lü Ju, Granny Lin, and Dong Sheng also came out.
At this moment, only Granny Lin and Qiu Hu dared to speak.
Following the sound, Lin Mama looked toward the still-lingering voice calling for the eldest prince and sighed, "What child isn't active? The concubine will only cause more trouble after she gives birth to the little prince."
Li Chenjiao felt a headache coming on when she heard this: "I know that the old lady is hoping that I will get better, but the East Courtyard is quite lively right now."
There wasn't a single second that wasn't lively around her.
As for the matter of the young prince, Li Chenjiao was not in a hurry at all.
However, all the nannies and maids in the East Courtyard naturally hoped that their master could firmly establish himself before the new bride entered the mansion next year.
After all, Princess Wu is currently enjoying great popularity in the manor.
However, Li Chenjiao still wanted to take care of her health first. Her mother had told her when she was still in her boudoir that women should take good care of themselves after childbirth.
Otherwise, you'll suffer endless hardships when you get older.
Even though Li Chenjiao recovered well after giving birth, she was unwilling to risk her health for the future.
Li Chenjiao didn't want to dwell on this topic, so she propped her hand up and spoke casually about something else: "By the way, have you sent the things I prepared for my brother?"
Qiu Hu nodded, leaning forward slightly: "I packed it up and put it in my bundle last night, and I had Xiao Luzi go there this morning."
Li Chenjiao said "Oh": "That explains why I didn't see him this morning."
Qiu Hu responded.
Li Chenjiao was sitting and talking with Qiu Hu and Granny Lin when she suddenly heard Dongli barking.
"You beast, stay away. Are you all dead? You just let that beast get close to the eldest prince."
Li Chenjiao wasn't particularly sensitive to the voice, but she recognized it as the voice of the eldest prince's wet nurse from the mention of it.
She frowned: "Go and take a look."
The wet nurse's words were really unpleasant to hear.
She knew Dongli's personality well; she wouldn't casually get close to others for no reason. Besides, she had clearly sent Dongsheng to the other side first.
Why do we suddenly hear Frozen Pear barking?
As Li Chenjiao spoke, she also stood up, naturally still worried that it might not be good for the frozen pears.
When Li Chenjiao arrived, she saw the eldest prince's wet nurse kicking away Dongli, and Dongsheng half-shielding her with his body, but he also got kicked a few times.
Qiu Hu was the first to stand it up and stepped forward to push the wet nurse away: "What are you doing, wet nurse? It's too impolite to pull and tug at the concubine like that."
The eldest prince's wet nurse, surnamed Cheng, first broke free from Qiu Hu's hand when she saw Li Chenjiao, and then pulled the eldest prince beside her to bow in greeting.
However, while bowing, the eldest prince's gaze kept drifting towards the frozen pear beside him.
Although it is called Frozen Pear, its fur is snow-white all over. After it came to the East Courtyard, Dong Sheng and the others took good care of it, and its fur became so white that it even shone.
But when Li Chenjiao went to look at the frozen pear, she saw its messy fur and dust.
Dongli looked listless, its tail drooping. But when it saw Li Chenjiao, it suddenly stuck out its tongue and wagged its tail, as if it wanted to rub against Li Chenjiao. However, Dongsheng pulled it back.
Li Chenjiao's smile vanished: "What happened?"
Her gaze, filled with scrutiny, fell upon Cheng, who was kneeling in greeting.
Lady Cheng, holding the eldest prince's hand, did not answer first, but instead spoke about other things: "Consort, the eldest prince is too young to stand properly, please let this servant stand up and answer."
Li Chenjiao sneered: "The eldest prince can't stand?"
"Go and find the garden steward to bring a stool, and lay a cushion on it so that the eldest prince can sit down. As for you, kneel down and answer him."
Lady Cheng looked up: "The concubine is not exempt—"
Li Chenjiao didn't give Cheng Shi a chance to say anything more. She raised her hand and said, "Right now, the First Princess and the Second Prince are both recuperating. What are you up to by making such a racket in the garden with the First Prince?"
In the meantime, Qiu Hu had already gone to find the garden manager.
Cheng was naturally terrified upon hearing Li Chenjiao's words. If such a accusation were to fall on her and reach the ears of the main wife, it would inevitably cause trouble again.
Naturally, she had to bow her head first and say she dared not.
When Qiu Hu returned, he also brought Li Chenjiao a carved walnut wood armchair.
Li Chenjiao didn't stand on ceremony and had Qiu Hu placed by the roadside.
“It would be unfair to have my servant speak, Madam Cheng, you may speak now.”
Even while kneeling, Madam Cheng continued to support the eldest prince: "Reporting to Consort Cheng, just now this servant was walking with the eldest prince in the garden when he was suddenly attracted by a marble that appeared out of nowhere. He broke free from this servant to chase after the marble that rolled away, and that's how we ended up here."
Marbles?
Li Chenjiao lowered her eyes.
Seeing this, Dongsheng stepped forward and handed the marbles he was holding to Qiuhu.
Qiu Hu looked down and saw the marbles in his hand.
