Chapter 107 Chapter 107 It’s so embarrassing!
However, after a while, the little three-headed ball just walked past the corner of the vermilion palace wall, and suddenly stopped abruptly as if he remembered something.
Hui'e Niang has always been very caring towards my eldest brother. If she had known that he had left the palace, why would she have asked the nanny to bring him calming soup?
Yinzhen had a feeling that something was wrong. After standing there for a while, hesitating, he waved his little hand, signaling the eunuch following behind him to move aside. He then clung to the palace wall and hesitantly poked out his round little head.
I saw the old nanny who came to deliver the calming soup standing in the eldest brother's yard. She said something to the people serving the eldest brother in the yard, and then she walked into the eldest brother's room with a food box in her hand in a haughty manner.
But after four or five breaths, she came out again quickly with the food box.
Little Yinzhen narrowed his eyes and confirmed that the food box in her hand had no signs of having been opened. For some reason, he felt a sense of relief in his heart.
I just hope no one wants to harm me.
I think it must be that the imperial decree came too suddenly. After receiving the order from Khan Ama, my eldest brother rushed to the Imperial Hospital to get the imperial physician out of the palace. He forgot about it and sent someone to report this to Hui E Niang...
After figuring it out, little Yinzhen stopped worrying about it. He put his hands behind his back and ran straight towards Zhongcui Palace.

In the Imperial Garden, Li Shuyao also learned from Qingyao that the young prince of Prince Chun's Mansion had some bad news recently.
"...Prince Chun's wife recently came to the palace and cried five times in three days. I heard...the Imperial Household Department has also begun preparations."
What are you preparing for?
Naturally, it was all the funeral rites for the young prince of Prince Chun’s mansion.
After hearing Qingyao's words, Li Shuyao felt a little heavy in her heart, and she felt that the cakes in her hands no longer tasted fragrant.
She threw it into the porcelain plate, and Tian Jiarou quickly handed her a handkerchief to help her wipe her hands.
Li Shuyao let her wipe her hands while frowning as she recalled the plot of the original book. It seemed that the situation of the little prince in Prince Chun's mansion was not explained. However, in real history, it seemed that this little prince did not live beyond the age of two.
She frowned and turned her head to ask Qingyao, "Has the little prince from Prince Chun's mansion always been weak since birth?"
Qingyao nodded and said, "After all, Prince Chun's health wasn't very good, and Prince Chun's wife, ever since she found out she was pregnant, has been constantly worried and meticulous. However, despite her meticulous care, the little prince he gave birth to was much thinner than others."
Li Shuyao was a little bit incredulous: "Ever since I knew I was pregnant, I've been worried every day?"
Qingyao: "That's right."
"The two elders have been constantly advising her to relax and avoid harming the unborn child. However, this is easier said than done. In reality, it's beyond the control of Prince Chun's wife."
Li Shuyao quickly grasped the key point. "So the little prince of Prince Chun's mansion was just a little thin after birth, but he actually doesn't have any disease, right?"
She wondered if the Qing Dynasty's child-rearing methods had harmed the child...
After all, people at that time were ignorant and did not know how to raise children scientifically. If the children felt a little unwell, they would be deprived of water and food, and only fed with porridge every day. Their physical strength and resistance were completely drained away, so how could they fight against diseases?
Before Li Shuyao traveled through time, she had heard that the child mortality rate was the highest during the Qing Dynasty.
Although Qingyao was puzzled as to why she asked this, she didn't dwell on it. Instead, she thought seriously for a moment and then shook her head. "It seems that I haven't heard of any specific illness that the young prince of Prince Chun's mansion has suffered from."
"I only know that Prince Chun's wife always says that her little prince is sickly all day long. He doesn't drink much at each feeding, and even now he can't stand up on his own. He's also not as lively as other children, and he spends eight or nine hours out of twelve in a day sleeping..."
"Almost all the doctors at the Imperial Hospital have checked my condition, but they couldn't find anything out from taking my pulse. They speculated that it might be a weakness I had from the womb..."
After hearing this, Li Shuyao couldn't help herself. "Is it possible that the young prince of Prince Chun's mansion is not sick? Um, in other words... is it possible that the young prince just lacks exercise, or, um..."
"That's right. My guess is that either he didn't eat well and didn't get enough nutrition, or he didn't get enough exercise. His hands and feet don't have the strength, so he's developing slowly."
The more she spoke, the more she felt that this might be the truth.
"Didn't Prince Chun's wife bring the little prince into the palace at the palace banquet at the beginning of this year?" Li Shuyao asked.
Qingyao thought about it carefully. "Yes, I remember that when Prince Chun's wife came to the palace to pay her respects, she told the old ancestor directly that the weather was cold and she was worried about the child being frozen."
Li Shuyao blinked her large, clear eyes, a question mark slowly forming in her head: "But wasn't last year an unusually warm winter? There weren't many heavy snowfalls until the Lantern Festival."
This made her little kid very unhappy. He was always angry when eating or playing, and he couldn't sleep well. When he was free, he would lie on the window sill and look out, looking at the sky, then at the ground, sighing from time to time, and he wanted to kneel down and kowtow to pray to God for snow so that he could go out with his brothers to have a good snowball fight.
"Maybe that's just the warmth we feel, but for a two-year-old child, it might be extremely cold..." Qingyao said, her voice getting weaker as she spoke, and she was afraid that even she didn't believe what she said.
After all, the royal children have to be taken care of by as many as thirty or forty people in total.
It was the New Year, and Prince Chun had already passed away. This was a great opportunity to enter the palace and meet the emperor. It was not impossible for Prince Chun's wife to not understand this.
Qingyao was at a loss for words.
The two looked at each other and sat in silence in the pavilion for a moment.
It was Li Shuyao who broke the silence first, rather abruptly changing the subject, "Why didn't you bring your Yinqi out today?"
Qingyao picked up the teacup, took two sips, and slowly put it back on the table, replying, "The Queen Mother sent someone to take him away this morning, saying that she missed Yinqi terribly."
This is strange. The empress dowager has always lived in seclusion and rarely goes out. She never goes anywhere except the Cining Palace. She treats the princes and princesses equally and is only a little kinder to the eldest princess.
Somehow, she particularly likes her son Yinqi.
I don’t know what it was about Yinqi that caught her eye.
When Li Shuyao heard this, she remained silent.
As if he also felt that this topic was not very appropriate, he lowered his head, picked up the half-eaten dessert on the white porcelain plate and stuffed it into his mouth in a concealed manner.
This snack is really a snack.

Soon another two days passed.
Concubine Hesheli still had not been able to sleep with the emperor, but Concubine Nianhulu was given the honor of accompanying the emperor in the imperial study for the first time.
But she was always cautious, and after she returned, she probably gave the palace servants some instructions. So when her palace servants came out to do things, apart from smiling brightly, there was no scene of bullying.
Instead, the people that Concubine Hesheli secretly sent out to try to take advantage of the opportunity to scam people returned empty-handed every time.
That day, I had just come out from paying my respects to the Cining Palace.
Li Shuyao thought that since she had nothing to do today, she might as well take the little one to sit in Concubine Tong's palace. It just so happened that Concubine Tong also loved Yinzhen very much. If she went to Chengqian Palace, wouldn't there be someone to help take care of the child?
So he carried Yinzhen and walked towards Chengqian Palace.
I had just taken five steps when I felt my arms were sore and tight, as if I was lifting something extremely heavy.
"Hmm?" Li Shuyao didn't believe it. She used her hands to exert a little force, wrapped her arms around little Yinzhen's legs and lifted them up a few times.
When she expressed her doubts, little Yinzhen realized that something was wrong. He had eaten too much at breakfast, and he couldn't hold back in front of the old ancestor, so he drank a large cup of milk tea, two milk cakes, and a long strip of dried beef.
My mother must be unable to hold him...
Thinking about it, he silently closed his mouth, and protected his belly with his two small hands, one on the left and one on the right. Before his mother noticed, he took a deep breath.
Very good, my stomach has successfully deflated a little bit.
However, Li Shuyao still couldn't hold him. The longer she held him, the more she felt her arms tremble.
For fear of dropping her own baby, Li Shuyao quickly turned sideways and stuffed the baby, who could no longer bear the weight in her arms, into Tian Jiarou's arms.
Tian Jiarou didn't expect that when she was just walking normally, a fat dumpling with a milky aroma was suddenly stuffed into her arms.
He was happy at first, but then he felt a strong pressure on his arm, and his expression froze.
Before Yueshu could react, he threw the little prince into Yueshu's arms as if throwing something.
Yue Shu had always been the one who paid the most attention to Li Shuyao's movements. As early as when she cried out in surprise, she had guessed the general reason and was now prepared. However...
There is no difference between making some mental preparations and not making them.
After little Yinzhen was sent to her arms, before he could adjust his posture and take a breath, he was warmly called by gravity. His whole body was like a slippery fish that was salvaged. With a whoosh, his head was buried directly in a large soft mass.
Fortunately, Li Shuyao recovered in time. After shaking her hands a few times, she quickly picked up little Yinzhen, who had slipped to Yueshu's belly, and then put him on the ground.
Little Yinzhen was dazed as the three people took turns to carry him. Before he could react, his eyes went dark, then bright again. He saw something sweet and soft, and then it disappeared again.
He staggered two steps on the ground and was barely helped to stand by Li Shuyao.
Li Shuyao relied on her carelessness to act as if nothing had happened, but the little brat couldn't.
I saw a big blush quickly appear on his milky white little face, and he felt hot from his forehead to behind his ears. He looked like he was being steamed, as if he had drunk fake milk, and was a little dizzy and drunk.
He, he, he just, he just stuck to Yue Shu’s mother, oh no, he stuck to Wan Liuha’s mother’s belly!!
This is not right, Yueshu... uh, Wanliuha's mother was not Khan Ama's concubine at that time, but, but... he he he...
Oh, how could it be such a coincidence?
It's so embarrassing!
