Chapter 86 Chapter 86 This time I really have to say goodbye...
To show the importance attached to the newborn prince, little Yinzhen's full moon banquet was held in Concubine Tong's Chengqian Palace.
This undoubtedly increased the speculation of the New Year picture baby.
Therefore, on the way to Chengqian Palace, the baby clung to Li Shuyao very nervously, and his two short and fat little hands like lotus roots kept tightly grasping the handkerchief in Li Shuyao's hand.
His big black eyes were filled with nervousness and reluctance, as if he wanted to hang himself on Li Shuyao.
A silent tug of war began.
Li Shuyao played the handkerchief pulling game with him for a while.
Seeing how much he liked it, she tilted her head and thought about it, then decided that she should be a generous mother, so she let go.
However, little Yinzhen pouted instantly, didn't want the handkerchief anymore, threw it away, and continued to reach for Li Shuyao's neck.
Li Shuyao: “?”
What kind of scumbag behavior is this?
With a serious expression, she put the handkerchief back into Yinzhen's little finger and said to him, "Now that you have it in your hands, you must cherish it. You can't hold it in your hands and look at it with your eyes, understand?"
"You're just greedy. Greed is absolutely unacceptable..."
What the hell is going on?
Is it a silk handkerchief he wants?
He obviously just wanted to hug his new mother.
Little Yinzhen clenched the silk handkerchief in his hand in frustration, glared at Li Shuyao with slightly red eyes, and then closed his eyes angrily.
Forget it. If I don’t hug her now, she will cry later.
When he went to Chengqian Palace, the person he thought about day and night and cried for a hug became her.
By that time, even if she wanted to hug him, he might not give it to her...
Little Yinzhen closed his eyes and said loudly in his heart: Humph!
*
Outside Chengqian Palace, there was already a bustling crowd of people, all dressed in elegant clothes.
Seeing Concubine Ling's sedan chair approaching, many wives of concubines quickly knelt down and saluted.
Li Shuyao walked down from the sedan chair holding Yinzhen in her arms. Her mother hurriedly came over from the other side to support her. Together with Nanny Yan, they stood on her left and right, blocking the inquiring gazes of the concubines.
Li Shuyao had previously received instructions from Nanny Yan.
He put on a cold expression, held little Yinzhen in his arms, and walked straight towards the main hall of Chengqian Palace without looking around.
Only when he saw a few familiar nobles and maids did he relax his expression a little, nodded at them, and then continued to walk into the main hall.
"Sister Lingpin is here."
In the main hall of Chengqian Palace, Concubine Rong was the first to see Li Shuyao.
She stood up with a smile on her face and greeted Li Shuyao.
Li Shuyao also smiled brightly, and the frosty temperament on her body collapsed in an instant. She subconsciously wanted to jump over, but just as she raised her foot, she was brought back to her senses by the swaddling clothes in her arms.
Li Shuyao lowered her head to glance at little Yinzhen, coughed lightly somewhat unnaturally, but still walked towards the middle of the crowd with uncontrollable joy.
She has always been able to get along well among these concubines.
As she repeated "good sister" one after another, even the little Yinzhen in her arms opened his eyes unconsciously and looked at the concubines around her curiously——
Hey, Hui'e Niang?
Rong's mother?
Didn't the two of them, in their previous lives, become incompatible with each other and fight each other fiercely?
How come my life is so peaceful?
There is also Duan'e Niang. After losing two daughters in succession in her early years, her health has not been good. Since he could remember in his previous life, Duan'e Niang has been bedridden and rarely seen.
How come I look so healthy in this life?
Is that Xi's mother? Wasn't she nearly deposed because she secretly attacked Rong's longevity?
When Yinzhen thought of this, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Longevity!
His big black eyes suddenly widened, and he looked in disbelief at a strange little kid standing beside the Crown Prince and the eldest prince not far away.
His intuition told him that this child he had never met should be his brother Changsheng, who died in November of the 16th year of the Kangxi reign in his previous life.
Yinzhen's mind suddenly became confused. If he lived forever, wouldn't he be the fifth in line? Wouldn't he be the fifth prince in this life?
Or maybe the sixth...
Because when he shifted his gaze, he was surprised to see that next to Brother Changsheng, there was a little baby with pale skin standing.
It's not much bigger than him, just its hands and feet are a little longer, and it can stand and walk.
This should be Brother Wan Fu.
Judging from his frail appearance, it's likely that he will be the same as in his previous life...
Ahem, such thoughts are somewhat disrespectful and a bit vicious.
Little Yinzhen was quickly stunned.
He looked at Li Shuyao with confused eyes, then at the several mothers beside her, and felt a little doubtful - was this really not a dream?
Li Shuyao hadn't yet realized how many times the baby in her arms had reorganized his worldview in just a few minutes.
She felt that she had not seen these concubines for a long time.
I have so many things to say to them.
Because she was too engrossed in the conversation, she didn't even notice when the baby in her arms was taken away.
All she remembered was that when she reacted, she had in her hand a plate of golden amber walnut candy that smelled very sweet.
She was stunned for just a moment, then returned to her previous chatty state, picked up a piece of candy and put it into her mouth.
Then he narrowed his eyes happily, with a very satisfied smile on the corners of his lips.
Yinzhen was exchanged for a plate of snacks by Huipin.
When he fell into Huipin's hands, he clenched his fists nervously. As far as he could remember, he had never been hugged by this mother before.
I don’t know either…
Before he could finish his thought, Rongpin took over the next moment. The concubines present took turns hugging him as if they were checking in.
When he finally returned to Huipin's arms, she held him like a pig, tossing him up and down, saying, "He seems to have grown a lot stronger."
The "much stronger" little Yinzhen was placed in a small bed with fences on all sides, and several mothers stood in a circle around him.
After looking at him for a while, Hui'e Niang said with a smile: "Look at our little prince, his eyes are so bright!"
Rongpin echoed: "Her eyebrows are also well-shaped, just like Lingpin's."
"His skin is also white, unlike when Baoqing was just born. He was so dark that he looked like he was dug out of a cave."
"The shape of the mouth is also good, exactly like His Majesty's."
"Look at him lying there so obediently, not crying or making a fuss. He will definitely be a very filial son in the future!"
"Princess Ling is so lucky..."
Little Yinzhen heard this quietly: "..."
She couldn't help but kick her feet twice, thinking to herself: It's a pity that she will soon lose such a blessing.
From now on, he will be a blessing to your family...
My dear mother.
Thinking of this, Yinzhen missed his noble mother from his previous life a little, and wondered how long it would take for her to come over.
Concubine Tong, whom Yinzhen missed, was sitting respectfully in front of the Empress Dowager and listening to her lecture.
——As soon as she caught the culprit who spread the rumors, the two ancestors received the news.
The Empress Dowager slowly twirled the Buddhist beads in her hand, her eyelids drooped slightly, and she looked a little old and tired.
She asked Concubine Tong, "Is this really just caused by those two little concubines?"
In her opinion, two mere maids should not have such great abilities.
She suspected that there was someone else behind the scenes fanning the flames, or perhaps it was Concubine Tong in front of her, who was using rumors to adopt a child.
Concubine Tong felt somewhat helpless when asked. She thought for a moment, "Grandfather, you have seen Rou'er grow up. If I really wanted to adopt Concubine Ling's child, I could just tell my cousin directly, act coquettishly, and be soft-hearted. Why wouldn't my cousin agree to it?"
That's true.
The Grand Empress Dowager also nodded, and then speculated, "Could it be Huipin..."
Concubine Tong: "But Concubine Hui already has an older brother."
"Not to mention Rongpin, she has two princes and a princess. Even if her cousin never visits her again, who in the palace would dare to neglect her?"
The Empress Dowager moved the Buddhist beads in her hand a little faster.
But in my mind, I was thinking slowly, could it be that she is really old?
Is that why you can't even understand the current situation in the harem?
Well, the Empress Dowager heaved a long sigh. "In that case, I'll leave the two young concubines to you to deal with. You don't need to report the results to me."
Concubine Tong quickly stood up and bowed. Suddenly, she didn't know what she was thinking, so she asked, "Then, can I hand these two over to Concubine Ling?"
The Empress Dowager had some impression of Concubine Ling.
Although she was young, she lived a very clear life. When the emperor came to her, she would serve him well. When the emperor didn't come, she would learn to entertain herself.
As for appearance, it can also be considered a symbol.
She is not a cunning person and is sincere. She calls everyone "sister" with a smile and is very sweet-mouthed.
And she was very blessed, otherwise how could she have successfully conceived the royal heir and given birth safely after only a few months of being favored?
Su Ma had mentioned this to her before, saying that the little girl was very well-behaved and would do whatever she was told to do. If she was not asked to do something, she would nod and agree without even asking "why", and she would do it very well.
I have absolutely no idea what it means to say one thing to someone's face and another behind their back.
She truly deserves the title bestowed upon her by the emperor—as illustrious as a jade and as renowned as a sceptre, worthy of renown and respect.
Thinking about this, the Empress Dowager began to doubt, "Can she really bear to punish Lingpin?"
Concubine Tong nodded her head with a serious expression, "Yes, she might be able to do it!"
When she heard from Concubine Yi about how Li Shuyao treated Uya in the East Warm Pavilion, she was shocked.
I was not shocked by Li Shuyao's "cruelty".
Instead, I was curious about how there could be so many weird ideas in her little head?
The old ancestor looked at the expression on her face, although he had already realized something in his heart.
But she didn't take it to heart at all, and just nodded, "Then everything is up to you."
*
So, wait until Yinzhen's full moon ceremony is over.
Concubine Tong walked straight up to Li Shuyao, facing the eager gaze of the baby in the New Year picture.
She had no intention of reaching out to hug little Yinzhen, but instead, with a very familiar gesture, she picked up a piece of cake and fed it to Li Shuyao's mouth.
After watching her eat with contentment, Concubine Tong smiled and said to her in a soft voice, as if coaxing a child, "Let Huipin and the others hold Yinzhen first. I have something to tell you. Shall we go sit in the back hall?"
Here it comes, your mother is finally going to say it.
Woohoo, my new mother, this time I really have to say goodbye...
