Chapter 126 Chapter 126 How could it be Concubine Ling?
The sudden feeling of guilt makes your scalp tingle.
Li Shuyao didn't think twice and frantically signaled to Tian Jiarou and the others with her eyes to quickly send these two little ancestors back to the warm room, otherwise, how would she sleep tonight.
Wouldn't you be slapping yourself in the face in five minutes?
Tian Jiarou and several young palace maids had distressed expressions on their faces. After receiving Li Shuyao's signal, they hurried forward and surrounded the two little cubs as they headed towards the warm room.
Along the way, Yinzhen was still thinking, he and his brother An'er were both from noble families, so how come his brother An'er was so miserable?
I kept two candies for two months and didn’t want to eat them.
Has Prince Chun’s Mansion become so poor?
Because of the tight time, Li Shuyao didn't have time to explain all the details to him.
This led to his misunderstanding - it turned out that Brother An'er was sent to the palace because Prince Chun's mansion was too poor!
He clenched his fists and decided to be nicer to his younger brother An'er in the future!
So tomorrow!
For tomorrow's breakfast, he decided to have only half a bowl of porridge and a steamed dumpling, plus a boiled egg, and give the rest to his younger brother An'er!
There are also mini furniture, and I don’t know if those sent to the side hall are complete. He has to find time to go and check tomorrow. If they are not complete, he will take them from him to make up for it first.
As for his younger brother Yinqi, we will have to wait for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make a new set for him.
And the two candies under the pillow, it’s been so long, they must have gone bad by now, right?
Tomorrow, remember to ask someone to pass a message to the Cining Palace, asking Aunt Suma to throw away the two candies and replace them with new ones, so that Brother An'er won't be sad when he returns and sees that the candies are gone.
Is there anything else?
Little Yinzhen put his hands behind his back and walked towards the warm room, muttering to himself.
Xiao An'er, who was walking beside him, saw that the expression on his brother's face was very heavy, just like... just like the kind of heaviness he often saw on the faces of the palace maids around him when he was "sick" in the past.
He felt extremely uneasy.
After thinking for a moment, she took small steps forward, gently pulled her brother's sleeve, and asked him, "Brother, why don't you speak?"
Yinzhen stopped, and the palace maids behind him also stopped at the same time.
Yinzhen tilted his head and looked at him in surprise. "Because it's time to go to bed. Mother once said that you can't be too happy before going to bed, otherwise you will keep kicking your legs at night. You can't be too sad either. If you are sad, you will be sad in your dreams too. You will cry and cry, and your pillow will be wet. When you wake up, you will be twice as sad."
As he spoke, he took An'er's hand and led him into his warm room.
The little expression suddenly turned into pride, "Look, brother's room, isn't it beautiful!"
Xiao An'er followed his movements and turned her head to look. When she saw him, her dark eyes were suddenly filled with stars. "Wow!"
He had never seen such a beautiful and bright house!
His previous house in Prince Chun was also very large, but it was covered with many heavy cloths inside and outside by his mother. There was a damp smell, and the windows were not opened. It was stuffy and dark day and night.
There were very few ornaments and furniture. My mother said she was worried that he would bump into things, so she asked people to move out everything that could be moved.
But his brother's room was different. It had several shelves filled with toys of various colors and things that seemed to glow. He couldn't understand what they were.
Yinzhen took his hand and introduced them to him bit by bit. "This is the Duobao rack, the one above is a glazed tower, that's a kaleidoscope, and this, this, this one allows you to see things very far away. Mother said it's a telescope, but it's not good enough. It can only see things a hundred meters away at most. Mother said there's a better one that can see things a thousand miles away."
His tone was still somewhat regretful. "But I've never seen a telescope like that. Mother said she saw it in a book. Some Western countries have it."
"This is a kite. An'er, have you ever flown a kite? I'll take you to fly one when the weather is nice. If you fly it high, it will fly in the sky."
Xiao Aner listened quietly to his introduction and suddenly asked, "Then why do we have eyes?"
Yinzhen said, "Because this is painted with paint... Oh, these are not eyes, they are just black circles. Mother originally wanted me to paint them myself, but I was still young and couldn't hold the brush properly, so I just drew some circles randomly. Mother said it looked cute and wanted to keep it as a souvenir, so she had it cut out and made into a kite."
He gave a detailed introduction before taking An'er to the set of mini furniture.
I thought that brother An'er would have the same surprised and loving expression as brother Yinqi.
But who would have thought that An'er's younger brother acted as if he hadn't noticed anything unusual. He was led by him and sat down obediently on the small sofa chair. He swung his feet and tilted his head to ask him, "Brother, aren't we going to sleep yet?"
Yinzhen was a little surprised.
Then I realized that my younger brother An'er has been recuperating in bed and has seen very few toys, so he probably can't tell the difference between large furniture and small furniture?
I guess I thought that was the case.
He temporarily gave up the idea of continuing to show off.
He nodded and said, "Yes, time to go to bed."
"But because we were sweating all over just now, we have to ask Mammy to come and change our clothes before we can go to sleep."
An'er seemed to understand, but she didn't quite understand. She said "Oh" and pinched her one-piece pajamas with her fingers, feeling a little reluctant. "This, this should be changed?"
Yinzhen continued to nod, "Yes, this is too heavy, it will be very uncomfortable to sleep."
"Plus, the weather is hot, so I need to change into thin pajamas."
An'er caught the key word: "Heavy?"
He stuck his head out to look at his brother's bed and was surprised to find that there were only two thin blankets on his brother's bed!
There are no three-layer thick quilts.
Sleeping like this...
Will I really not be sick again tomorrow?
With such concerns, the little guy changed his clothes and lay down next to Yinzhen with a nervous look on his face.
Yinzhen didn't say anything else, closed his eyes quietly and prepared to fall asleep.
He always slept well, usually falling asleep in just a minute, but today...
Perhaps because of nervousness, Xiao An'er lay beside him, scratching the quilt and turning over from time to time. Although the noise was not loud, the rustling was quite disturbing.
Yinzhen opened his eyes and turned to look at him: "An'er, can't you sleep?"
Xiao An'er nodded. He was a little scared. He was afraid that he would be sick again when he woke up tomorrow. Then his mother... his mother would definitely be very angry. She might even scold him for being mean to him.
But Empress Ling is obviously a very nice person, and her brother is also very nice. He took him to play with many things he had never seen before.
Yinzhen thought about it, climbed out of his quilt and into An'er's quilt, raised his hand, and lifted the thin quilt over his head to cover both of them.
The faint candlelight outside the bed seeped into the quilt little by little, as if the whole world had quieted down. Only the small "beating" sounds of the two people's hearts could be heard, as if mixed with some reassuring rhythm.
The little guy was no longer nervous.
The suppressed sleepiness continued to surge up from deep within the body.
Before he even had time to say a few words to his brother, the little guy closed his eyes in a daze, tilted his head, and fell asleep.
Yinzhen waited for a long time, until his brother's breathing gradually stabilized, then he removed his brother's quilt, returned to his previous position, and fell asleep peacefully.
*
A night of silence.
When I woke up the next day, birds were chirping outside the window.
Li Shuyao turned over in bed in a daze, with one of her white wrists hanging over the edge of the bed.
She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the pattern on the curtains above the bed for a while before she became a little more awake.
Birds chirping means it’s still early.
The sun is high in the sky when you hear the cicadas chirping.
She was wondering why she suddenly couldn't sleep, as if something was on her mind.
After thinking for a while, I remembered that, yes, there was something wrong.
There is a new little cub in Changchun Palace.
Although she had already told Yinzhen yesterday to take his brother out to eat and play, and not to disturb her from getting some sleep,
But...it would be a bit irresponsible for adults to do this.
She twisted and struggled in the quilt for a long time before she completely drove away the sleepiness and climbed out of bed.
After washing up, he turned around and asked Tian Jiarou, "Where are Yinzhen and An'er?"
Tian Jiarou hung up the cotton cloth she had used and then said, "We are having dinner in the side hall."
Li Shuyao sat down in front of the dressing table again. "I'm not going out today, so I'll just put on some makeup as a base. As for the lip balm, I'd better put on less lip balm. I don't like jewelry, it's too heavy, so I'll just put on a hairpin..."
She directed Yueshu to quickly complete her styling, then lifted her skirt and went to the next side hall to have breakfast with her two cubs.
Little did they know that because of the imperial decree issued yesterday, the entire harem was in turmoil.
In Chengqian Palace, Concubine Tong woke up early for a rare occasion, with a look of surprise and worry on her delicate face.
She hadn't slept well the previous night, tossing and turning, thinking about—
How could it be Concubine Ling?
Concubine Ling was just a child herself, and it was already very difficult for her to take care of Yinzhen, so how could she take on another child?
Moreover, if something happened to the young prince of Prince Chun's mansion in Changchun Palace, wouldn't Concubine Ling be in trouble?
The emperor is confused!
She planned to go to the Cining Palace to first visit the wife of Prince Chun who had suddenly fallen ill, and then try to submit a visiting card to the Qianqing Palace to request an audience, hoping that her cousin the emperor would revoke his decision.
If all else fails, she will send the young prince from Prince Chun's mansion to Chengqian Palace. If there are any attacks from the emperor, she will take the blame for Concubine Ling.
The concubines in Yanx Palace, Zhongcui Palace, Jingren Palace, and those who were on good terms with Li Shuyao were all secretly worried about her at this time.
Those who had a lesser relationship with Li Shuyao were either jealous or gloating over her misfortune.
The place of concubine Hesheli.
This was the fourth set of tragedies that Concubine Hesheli had smashed in anger.
Even if a young lady from a wealthy family enters the Forbidden City, which is as vast as the sea, it is unlikely that she will be able to get rid of her arrogance and learn to be dormant in a short period of time.
She couldn't understand why the emperor and the ancestors bypassed her and gave the important responsibility of taking care of the little prince to Concubine Ling, even though she was the first one among all the concubines in the palace to show kindness to Prince Chun's wife.
She was just a lowly palace maid from one of the five banners of the Han army, yet she dared to act so arrogantly and domineeringly.
Raising a sixth prince was not enough, even the younger prince from Prince Chun's mansion was coveting him.
How could she not be filled with hatred?
A cold light flashed in the eyes of Concubine Hesheli. She gritted her teeth and said to the palace maid beside her: "Momo, I want to send a message back!"
