Chapter 120 Chapter 120 "Then run away from home!"...
It’s just taking care of a baby, she has plenty of experience!
Throwing aside all her worries, Li Shuyao walked straight to the old ancestor and bowed, "Your concubine greets the Grand Empress Dowager."
"Get up."
Li Shuyao stood up straight and met the eyes of the little guy in the Empress Dowager's arms. She curved her eyebrows and smiled at him very gently.
The little guy acted a little shy, hugging the Empress Dowager's arm and hiding most of his face behind her sleeve, leaving only two big eyes as round and watery as black grapes exposed, blinking at her.
The little guy felt that the name "Empress Lingpin" sounded a little familiar.
I seem to have heard it somewhere before. Where?
He bit his lip in some distress.
Li Shuyao tightly grasped the handkerchief to avoid screaming in an ungraceful manner.
When she was still in the Palace of Heavenly Purity, she had seen Prince Chun from afar. She only vaguely remembered that he was a young man with a very handsome face, a very thin body, but his posture was as straight as a bamboo.
Of course, when he was in the imperial study of the Palace of Heavenly Purity, and was talking to the emperor, he would hold his head high and chest out, as straight as a green bamboo in spring.
When he left the imperial study, he felt as if all his life had been drained out of him. He almost needed two eunuchs to support him to squeeze himself into the sedan chair.
The young prince of Prince Chun's mansion is even more handsome than Prince Chun, many times more handsome. Therefore, it can be seen that Prince Chun's wife must also be a graceful and beautiful lady.
Now, Li Shuyao no longer felt any resistance in her heart.
He walked forward with a proud and confident look and said to the little fellow, "Little brother, do you remember me?"
The little guy shook his head shyly.
The Empress Dowager was speechless and glanced at Li Shuyao.
It was already afternoon when Prince Chun's wife entered the palace. Later, she almost locked herself and An'er in the back hall of the Cining Palace. As for the concubines in the palace, after paying their respects, they all ran away faster than each other.
Just like this person in front of me, in order to avoid waiting in line with others for the sedan chair, he would rather run or walk to quickly leave the Cining Palace...
How can we talk about "knowing" each other nowadays?
The Empress Dowager sighed inwardly, but did not say much. She just watched Li Shuyao's "performance" quietly.
Li Shuyao smiled slightly, "That's right, you don't know me, because An'er has never seen me before."
"From this we can see that An'er is an honest and good child. Good children should be rewarded. An'er, come and look at this." As she spoke, she took out two sticks from her sleeves like a magic trick, and with a little assembly, they became a bamboo dragonfly.
The Empress Dowager remembered this thing. At the last Dragon Boat Festival family dinner, almost every child and the eunuch around him had three or four such toys in their hands.
They competed to twist this thing into the sky, and whoever could make it fly the highest would be the winner.
At that time, there were about thirty or forty people releasing this thing together, including princes, princesses, tutors, Hahazhuzi, and the eunuchs and palace maids serving them.
After they were released, the tender voices of children, exclamations, cheers, encouragements... drowned out the voices of the adults inside. They were so scared that they thought something big had happened to the children outside. They hurried out to take a look, and were severely frightened by the bamboo dragonflies flying everywhere.
There were also a few attendants who were close to the door and walked quickly. As soon as they left the hall, some of them were scratched on the face and hair by this thing...
Fortunately, this thing is made of wood, so it didn't hurt anyone or cause any major trouble.
But from that day on, the emperor issued an order that they were not allowed to gather in groups or for so many people to play with this thing at the same time.
And the creator of this incident, Concubine Ling, was also reprimanded by the emperor on the spot.
And then later...
The Empress Dowager's thoughts drifted away, and it took her a long time to remember, oh, the emperor had been turning over the sign of Changchun Palace for several days in a row.
The scolding was real, and the heartache was real.
So, he rushed to favor her for several days in a row, fearing that someone below would despise and neglect the woman he held dear to his heart.
Putting her thoughts aside, the Empress Dowager turned her gaze back to Li Shuyao.
She wanted to see what other options this Concubine Ling had.
Li Shuyao didn't know what the Empress Dowager was thinking, or rather, she had never thought about restraining her temper in front of the Empress Dowager.
Seeing the little guy hesitantly sticking out his head, she placed the bamboo dragonfly in the palm of her hand and rubbed it gently, and the bamboo dragonfly flew up in the side room of the main hall of the Cining Palace.
Su Malagu and Furong were both shocked. After all, the emperor had just scolded Concubine Ling at the Dragon Boat Festival banquet not long ago.
Who could have imagined that Concubine Ling had no psychological trauma at all and even dared to use this thing to please Prince Chun.
Li Shuyao slowly released the bamboo dragonfly, and then fixed her eyes on its flight path. At the same time, she remembered to use the corner of her eyes to carefully observe the expression and movements on the little guy's face.
She moved slowly and precisely to the place where the bamboo dragonfly was descending. She raised her hand and caught it firmly in her palm.
Su Malagu and Furong were both shocked. So this is how you play with this thing?
Li Shuyao didn't care about them and continued playing a few more times. Every time, she could accurately guess where the bamboo dragonfly would land and then catch it steadily.
At this time, the little guy had completely emerged from under the Empress Dowager's arms.
His eyes sparkled, and his round little face was filled with anticipation.
This, this thing that can fly into the sky, will it also become his good friend?
He has already named his new friend "Fei Fei"!
Li Shuyao played with it for a while, then walked back to the Empress Dowager and handed her the bamboo dragonfly. "An'er, do you want to play with it yourself?"
An'er didn't care about being shy anymore and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I want to play!"
Only after playing can you bring your good friend back to his bed with Dongdong.
He grabbed the Empress Dowager's sleeve and said, "Ukuma Ma, can An'er play?"
The Empress Dowager naturally agreed and immediately put him on the ground. The little guy's shoes rubbed a few stains on her navy blue cheongsam, but she seemed to be oblivious and just patted him a few times with her hands. Then she said to the little guy, "Can An'er play?"
The little guy nodded, "Yes, yes, An'er has seen it, I've seen Madam Ling play it, An'er can play it."
Li Shuyao bent down and put the bamboo dragonfly into his palm, "Come on, An'er."
What is refueling?
The little guy was very confused.
But none of these could compare to the surprise brought by having a new friend. His attention was quickly attracted by the bamboo dragonfly in his hand.
Following Li Shuyao's example, he placed the dragonfly in his palm and rubbed it hard, and it fell to the ground.
The little guy blinked his eyes, squatted down to pick up the bamboo dragonfly, and rubbed it again. This time he even used all his strength to suck milk, biting his little teeth and making a "hey" sound. The ending was no different from last time.
Li Shuyao had naturally found a round stool and sat down.
Seeing the little guy fail twice and rubbing his palms until they were red, I didn't say anything to comfort him or give him any guidance.
Playing with toys is the little guy's own business. She didn't want to disturb the little guy's autonomy. Seeing two plates of fruit on the table, she picked up a grape and put it in her mouth without even peeling it.
Seeing this, Furong hurriedly walked behind Li Shuyao and started peeling grapes for her.
Li Shuyao smiled at her with a smile on her face, "Thank you, Miss Furong."
The Empress Dowager and Su Malagu watched coldly from the side. Although they did not understand how Concubine Ling was raising the baby, they did not say much. They just watched silently for a while, then turned around and wanted to leave, making the excuse that they were tired.
When Xiao An'er suddenly saw Ukuma Ma was about to leave, a look of panic and fear flashed across his face, but he quickly calmed down again.
He had already remembered that Dongdong was given to him by Empress Ling.
Your Majesty is a very good person. It is very safe to be with her. I will definitely not be worried even if I know this.
So he just stood there and saluted the Empress Dowager's back, "See you next time, Ukuma Ma."
Li Shuyao stood up and knelt politely. After the Empress Dowager disappeared from the doorway, she thought for a moment and asked Furong, "Can I lie down on the couch? Oh no, sit down?"
Furong: “?”
She could hardly believe what she heard.
Still lying...
This Concubine Ling is really bold.
Furong wanted to laugh, but she didn't dare to act rashly in front of the emperor's favorite concubine. So she bit her lower lip hard, lowered her head, and said in a dull voice, "Your Majesty, please do as you please."
I still don’t dare to do that.
Li Shuyao just slipped up out of habit and didn't really want to lie down in the Cining Palace. She walked over properly and sat on the couch while trying her best to maintain her demeanor.
The little guy on the ground is still struggling with the bamboo dragonfly.
Li Shuyao observed for a while and determined that the little guy's hands were not strong enough. After only two or three attempts, several of his fingers were too tired to tremble uncontrollably.
The chubby little face turned red, not as if she was about to cry, but as if...
Li Shuyao was just thinking about it when she saw the little guy seemed unable to bear it. His legs swayed and he sat down on the ground.
Well, his little hands and feet don't have enough strength, and his physical fitness is a little bit poor. He can't be compared with her little kid who is so lively that he can almost climb up the roof and tear off the tiles.
Li Shuyao leaned over, but didn't reach out to help him. She just said softly, "Can An'er stand up?"
The little guy nodded, then pinched two little fingers and said, "Wait a while, once your legs have enough strength, you can stand up."
Sounds like he's very experienced.
So Li Shuyao was "persuaded".
He continued to sit up straight, then picked up the silver fork beside the plate, picked up a hibiscus-peeled grape and put it into his mouth.
Furong was peeling grapes, hesitant to speak, and wanted to ask Concubine Ling, "Aren't you going to give the little prince some to eat?"
She saw that the little prince was enjoying eating grapes just now.
Li Shuyao ate two grapes and suddenly asked the little guy, "Does An'er usually have anything he likes to eat?"
After finding out more, I can ask someone to prepare some for my next visit so that I can use it as a food incentive. After all, for children, talking about persistence and perseverance is very illusory. It is better to use food to tempt them, which can better stimulate their potential.
Xiao Aner sat on the ground and thought for a while, "Sweet."
"Anything else?"
“It smells nice and tastes good.”
Li Shuyao didn't say anything else.
His eyes moved to the fork, "Do you like grapes?"
"Grapes?" Little An'er tilted her head and looked at the familiar green thing on her fork. "It's Tiantian."
Li Shuya was slightly surprised, "Is this the Tiantian you mentioned?"
Xiao Aner nodded vigorously and sat on the ground to chat with Li Shuyao. "This one is sweet, and this one is juicy. It's delicious, but a little sticky."
Furong noticed that when the little guy talked about food, his speech speed would be a little faster and he would not pause much.
Maybe it was because Prince Chun's wife was always controlling him and didn't let him eat, so he was too hungry to speak?
After realizing this, Furong's heart felt like it was soaked in coptis water, and it was extremely bitter.
Li Shuyao was still chatting with the little guy, "No, it won't be juicy if you eat it with a fork, look at me."
She opened her mouth and, with a rather exaggerated gesture, swallowed the grapes on the fork in one gulp. Her voice was unclear as she continued to explain, "Look, my hands are clean and not sticky."
The little guy looked carefully and said, "Really?"
Li Shuyao swallowed the grapes in her mouth and asked him, "Does An'er want to learn how to hold a fork?"
The little guy was confused: "Grab the fork?"
"Yes, now that you've learned how to hold the fork, you can use it to eat the sweets yourself next time, and your hands won't get all sticky and sticky with sweet juice."
The little fellow hesitated for a moment. "But, E'e," he was about to say that his mother wouldn't let him eat more, but suddenly he remembered that Ukuma Ma had just said that E'e was wrong. But what exactly was wrong? His thoughts were incoherent, and he mumbled something incoherent.
Li Shuyao listened carefully and vaguely heard only a few words such as "Ee E Cuo Cuo".
What is this and what?
She frowned and looked at Furong, who quickly translated what the Empress Dowager had said before.
Li Shuyao suddenly realized.
She couldn't judge the actions of Prince Chun's wife, so she just guided her based on the facts: "Don't you think An'er wants to eat by himself? Just like me, I can eat whatever I want with a fork."
She demonstrated by herself and quickly put two peeled grapes into her mouth.
Furong: “…”
She really wanted to say, Concubine Ling, have you forgotten something?
She peeled the grapes and put them on the plate, which was completely different from what Concubine Ling said about "eating by herself".
Furong was struggling over whether or not to follow Concubine Ling's "teaching content" and let her peel the grapes herself.
However, the little guy on the ground didn't think so much.
He had seen too little of the world and had no logic of his own in his mind, so he naturally believed whatever Li Shuyao said.
He blinked his big eyes and looked at it for a while, then acted as if he suddenly understood something. "Yes, yes, An'er wants to learn."
"Then An'er, stand up from the ground, come over, and climb onto the couch. Okay? Climb up, and Madam Ling will teach you how to hold the fork."
"good!"
Xiao Aner agreed without hesitation.
He was very agile and immediately put his hands on the ground, supported himself on the ground and slowly stood up. He walked unsteadily to the footrest in front of Li Shuyao, turned his buttocks, and sat on the footrest. He moved back and forth, moving his thighs and calves onto the footrest, turned his body, knelt on his knees, and supported himself with his hands, and then stood steadily on the footrest.
Li Shuyao exclaimed, "Wow!" "An'er is so smart!"
She took a new fork, stuck half of a grape in it, and stuffed it into little An'er's mouth without saying anything. "This is a reward from the Empress Ling for An'er."
Little An'er was caught off guard by a mouthful of sweetness. He was too busy to reply to Empress Ling's words. He only hummed "hmmmm" a few times. After swallowing the sweetness in his mouth, he hesitantly asked, "What is intelligence?"
Li Shuyao thought for a moment and said, "It means it's great."
"Great?" Xiao An'er still didn't understand.
Li Shuyao: "It means that little An'er is very good and that the queen likes An'er very much."
Little An'er thought for a moment and replied in a milky voice, "Your Majesty is fine too. An'er likes your Majesty too, very much!"
Li Shuyao was so touched by his words that her heart was trembling with love. She kept screaming in her heart, "I want to raise him!"
So silly and cute, so soft and sweet, who doesn’t like it?
Oh my, she really wants to raise him.
Is there any way to sneak Xiao An back to Changchun Palace and raise him for two days?
Waiting online, very anxious.
*
At the same time, in the warm room of Changchun Palace.
Perhaps inspired by something, a little cub named "Yinzhen" slowly woke up from his sleep.
He seemed to dream about his mother.
But what happened in the dream?
...It's so strange, I can't remember.
Little Yinzhen slowly sat up from the small bed and rubbed his eyes with his chubby little hands.
Then, a hoarse, baby-like voice sounded behind him: "Guo Guo?"
Little Yinzhen looked sideways and saw that it was his younger brother.
Oh yes, he played with his brother this afternoon.
Little Yinzhen then slowly lay back down, and patted his brother's body with his little hand, saying, "Yinqi, be good and sleep a little longer."
Yinqi pushed his hand away, sat up, rubbed his eyes, scratched his hair, and yawned.
Then, with a very sad expression, she said to her brother, "Guoguo, Lingling, where's Lingling?"
Yinzhen blinked, "Mother should be in the main hall."
Little Yinqi stretched out his hands towards him, "Yes, I want Lingling."
"No, no, baby."
"Lingling, Lingling, something else, something else, baby... I don't want the baby anymore."
Little Yinzhen's posture froze when he sat up, and something seemed to flash through his mind quickly. It was very vague, but there was an indescribable feeling of familiarity.
He held his head and thought for a long time before he recalled the dream.
He seemed to have dreamed that his mother went to play with other babies, and that baby was very well-behaved, at least much better than him, and as well-behaved as Yinqi.
Moreover, the baby was very cute and good at talking, and his mother was so coaxed that she almost forgot about her own son.
So he was very sad in his dream, and woke up crying.
I forgot it when I woke up...
Then, after being reminded by Yinqi, the sad emotions surged up again and instantly overwhelmed him.
He sat there at a loss for a moment before trying to comfort his brother, who was crying silently beside him. "No, dreams are always the opposite."
"I am your only baby, there won't be any other babies."
"If, if Mother really has another baby and doesn't like you and me anymore, then we'll run away from home!"
I regret so much this bad mother!
