Some couldn't wait and picked up their chopsticks to take a bite. She had been eating nothing but bland soup every day during her month-long postpartum confinement.
Mingxiu felt like her taste buds were about to go numb; this tasted so good.
Satisfied, they finished off the food on the table.
He sat on the stool, burped contentedly, and rubbed his slightly full stomach.
After playing with my precious daughter for a while and seeing that she was asleep, I took Green Bamboo and prepared to go out for a walk.
She hadn't been out for a long time, and everything she saw in the Imperial Garden felt exceptionally new and exciting.
The Imperial Garden is never short of flowers, with different flowers blooming in each of the four seasons.
Although her own little courtyard also had flowers, it wasn't as big as the Imperial Garden, and Mingxiu was very satisfied with her stroll.
She saw that the palace maids who were greeting her were all smiling kindly as they walked over.
She even had the unusual interest to let Green Bamboo pick a few flowers, intending to take them back and put them in a vase later.
As the saying goes, extreme joy begets sorrow, and Mingxiu thinks this is truly a profound truth.
Looking at the people in front of her, Mingxiu felt that her good mood was almost completely gone.
Not far in front of Mingxiu stood two concubines. One was dressed in a light purple qipao, with a gentle and elegant expression, and the other was dressed in a scarlet qipao with bright and dazzling makeup. The two were talking and laughing. They were Wuya and Xipin.
Mingxiu sighed. What a twisted fate this was, and how did these two even end up together?
I've never heard of this before. Mingxiu felt completely confused.
The two people in front also saw Mingxiu, and now it was difficult for them to leave. Mingxiu had no choice but to wait for them to come over and pay their respects.
"This humble servant greets Consort Ming." The two women approached Mingxiu and bowed to her.
One cannot hit a smiling face, so Mingxiu could only smile and nod, gesturing for the two to get up.
"I'm just here for a stroll. I saw that you two sisters seemed to be having a very pleasant time. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't disturb you any longer," Mingxiu said and prepared to leave.
"Sister, don't rush to leave. I have something to ask you for help," Consort Xi said, walking over and taking Mingxiu's other arm.
Mingxiu was taken aback by her overly familiar manner. What was she trying to do? She had been quite impolite to her just moments before. Mingxiu felt a little awkward and tried to pull away, but couldn't.
She could only force a smile and say, "Oh, I wonder what it is that you need my help with, little sister? Tell me."
"Well, actually, it's mainly about this little sister Wuya. I think I know about her situation. You know, the Fourth Prince has been staying in the Imperial Noble Consort's palace. Little sister Wuya wanted to go and see him, but she hasn't been able to. That's why she wanted to ask me if I could talk to the Imperial Noble Consort about it."
Wuwuya, standing next to her, even pursed her lips and gently wiped her eyes with a handkerchief.
Mingxiu twitched her lips and stood there watching the two of them act.
Are these two looking at her as if she's an idiot, or as if she's a fish with only a seven-second memory?
These two were probably the people she didn't get along with the most before, but now they act like nothing happened and still want to use her as a target.
Dream on!
Mingxiu used all her strength to pull her arm out of Consort Xi's embrace.
"Sister, you jest. If Consort Wuya wishes to see the child, she can go directly to the Imperial Noble Consort. I doubt the Imperial Noble Consort would object. However, I remember that His Majesty entrusted the Fourth Prince to the Imperial Noble Consort for upbringing. If His Majesty were to find out, perhaps..."
Mingxiu frowned, paused slightly, and continued, "However, the Imperial Noble Consort is always magnanimous. As long as Consort Wuya is sincere, she will not stop her."
Uya's face stiffened, her eyes quickly reddened, and tears streamed down her face.
"It's all my fault. I haven't caught the Emperor's eye, and my tongue is too clumsy to please the Imperial Noble Consort. But the Fourth Prince is, after all, a piece of my flesh. I have no other intentions; I just want to catch a glimpse of him from afar. I hope Consort Ming can help me."
Mingxiu raised an eyebrow, looking at Wuya's tearful appearance. Anyone who didn't know the truth would probably be fooled.
What a pity!
Mingxiu knew exactly what kind of person she was.
