As the fireworks in the distance came to an end, the Second Princess was carried back by two wet nurses.
The Second Princess can walk quite smoothly now, but the wind is very cold right now, so two nannies are carrying her in their arms and walking ahead to block the wind. Two eunuchs are leading the way with palace lanterns, and there are several more eunuchs behind them, each carrying something in their hands.
The little girl, nestled in her wet nurse's arms, saw her mother in the distance on the veranda. She probably thought Li Chenjiao had come out to greet her. The little girl couldn't help but peek out from in Chen's arms, clapping her little hands.
Li Chenjiao took two steps forward, but remained under the eaves.
Although the snow had stopped, the wind was still quite strong, so Li Chenjiao decisively walked to the corridor and stopped.
"Don't go through the formalities yet, let's go inside and talk."
After standing outside for a long time, Li Chenjiao's breath was still warm when she spoke.
The young girl spent a day in the palace and looked much more energetic than Li Chenjiao.
The two wet nurses were indeed very attentive; the little girl's hands were still warm from the journey. The maids had already scattered to prepare hot water.
The little girl had already climbed onto the soft couch by herself.
Granny Chen replied from the side.
"Her Majesty bestowed many gifts, but the gifts for the master and the second princess were given separately."
Li Chenjiao glanced at her, then quickly turned her gaze back to the little girl.
Ah Man certainly looks quite energetic right now.
"Is Master back?" Li Chenjiao asked.
Granny Chen nodded: "The master has drunk the wine and has already returned to the front courtyard to rest."
Li Chenjiao said "Oh," but didn't ask what had happened in Yonghe Palace today.
The old nanny could see and hear things that Li Chenjiao knew without guessing. Li Chenjiao hadn't gone blind in the two years since she entered the palace; she could still see clearly.
However, Li Chenjiao still used the old method to coax the little girl to sleep after she finished washing up.
After all, the little girl has been through a lot of trouble for the past two weeks, so let her go to sleep now.
Li Chenjiao prepared silver ingots for the maids, and a small box of gold ingots for the young girls.
That's all the money Li Chenjiao has accumulated over the years.
However, Li Chenjiao did not disturb the little girl, but simply had Qiu Hu register and put it away.
Before going to sleep, Qiu Hu smiled especially happily: "Sleep well, my master. May you have a peaceful and healthy new year. This servant wishes my master all your dreams come true in the new year."
These words should have been said yesterday, but although Li Chenjiao went to bed late, she was half asleep, so the maids didn't have a chance to say them.
When Li Chenjiao heard this, her eyes crinkled into a smile.
"Sleep peacefully."
