Chapter 90 Chapter 90 It seems like a mistake.
Seeing that Li Shuyao had made up her mind, Tian Jiarou thought about it and decided to do as she was told.
After the young palace maids put away their clothes and left, Tian Jiarou asked Li Shuyao again, "If you don't want to change your clothes, you should at least take a bath, right?"
Li Shuyao still shook her head and said that it was still early and she would wait until the emperor was about to arrive before taking a bath.
Right now, she still wanted to play with Yinzhen for a while longer, otherwise there would be no chance in the evening.
Tian Jiarou had no choice but to go to the warm room and bring little Yinzhen over.
Little Yinzhen is just one month old now, and it is the time when he sleeps a lot. When he was carried out of Yiku Palace by Nanny Yan and was on the way to Changchun Palace, he felt a little drowsy.
After returning to the warm room and sleeping for about half an hour, he felt a little hungry and cried twice according to his baby's nature. Soon a wet nurse came to feed him.
He drank for who knows how long before he burped contentedly. He peeked out with his dark eyes and saw the familiar scene around him. He realized that he was back in Changchun Palace.
But the new mother was not there.
So what is the situation now?
Was he actually taken in and raised by your mother?
Or does it mean that your mother doesn't want him anymore in this life?
Little Yinzhen suddenly felt heavy-hearted, not knowing whether he should be happy or sad.
I lay on the bed, grabbed the quilt and pulled it for a while, then decided not to worry about it for now.
Your old wife is very good, and your new wife is not bad either.
Although he is always worried about his little belly and butt, he is a generous child.
Just touch him, and don’t touch him when he grows up.
Moreover, there should be no one in this world who would laugh at a one-month-old baby and ask if his mother touched his butt. Right?
Little Yinzhen comforted himself and felt very open-minded.
He immediately let go of the small quilt in his hand, kicked his little feet twice, waved his little hands, and said "ah" twice. He felt that he had finished exercising and it was time to go back to sleep.
Just at this moment, Tian Jiarou came in. She took in all the movements of little Yinzhen kicking and waving on the bed. Before she even got closer, a faint smile appeared on her lips.
She first asked the nurse about the little prince's condition. When she learned that the little prince had finished his milk, she walked to the bedside and gently picked him up, saying, "Your Majesty wants to see the little prince. I'll take him over first and bring him back after you've played with him enough."
The wet nurses didn't dare to say anything and quickly responded with a "yes".

Li Shuyao sat in the small room and glanced at the floor clock in the corner. She found that it was around 2:30 in the afternoon.
Calculating the time, the emperor will not arrive for more than two hours.
She then withdrew her gaze with relief and looked at the small toys on the couch. She picked up one of them and asked Yue Shu, "Do you think Yinzhen will like these little things I prepared for him?"
Yue Shu thought without hesitation: "These are all from the heart of the Queen, my brother will definitely like them."
Li Shuyao glanced at her, took out a doll that looked like a little girl, and asked, "Are you sure he will like this?"
When she was little, she actually loved Barbie dolls. She even had a special cabinet at home that stored dozens of Barbie dolls. Each doll had dozens of interchangeable dresses, high heels, sunglasses, necklaces, bracelets, bags, and even convertible sports cars.
The first thing she does when she gets home from kindergarten every day is to run to the cabinet and say to her Barbie dolls one by one, "I'm home."
Of course, you have to say goodbye to them one by one when you go out.
We get along just like real friends.
It can be said that she had many, many Abebeis when she was a child.
So after she became pregnant, she kept thinking about designing toys for the baby.
Of course, she also knew that Barbie dolls would definitely not work.
If she did that, people would definitely misunderstand whether she was going to cast some kind of curse or something else.
She could only make full use of Lotus's talent, allowing her to make many small animal dolls in the past few months, such as Little Xiji, Little Brain Axe, Little Fu Ni, Little Hai Teng La...
In the end, I couldn't help it and made a few Q-version human-shaped dolls.
Two little bald heads and two little princesses.
When the lotus was made, I was so scared.
Even Nanny Yan was frightened when she saw it.
She was afraid that someone would find out and report her to the two ancestors and the emperor, and then Li Shuyao would be in big trouble.
There were four little dolls in total, all stuffed tightly into the deepest part of the box by Nanny Yan.
Every time Li Shuyao played one, she destroyed one.
The main feature is to leave no trace and burn it after you are done with it.
The one in Li Shuyao's hand is the last little doll.
She had kept it until today on purpose just to let Yinzhen see it.
Before Yueshu could answer, a sound of footsteps, neither light nor heavy, was heard behind the screen.
It was Tian Jiarou who came over carrying little Yinzhen.
The baby, who had just turned one month old, was extremely soft all over. Because the warm room was only a few steps away from the main hall and it was a hot summer day, and the little prince was still one month old, Tian Jiarou did not deliberately put him in a swaddling cloth when she took him out.
He was only given a new set of light yellow clothes and a small tiger-head hat on his round, bald head.
At this moment, she was sitting in Tian Jiarou's arms, looking pretty and lovely. When she saw Li Shuyao, her dark round eyes suddenly lit up, revealing a smile. She let out an "ah" and her saliva started to flow.
Li Shuyao didn't dislike him at all. After taking him, she wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief.
Then she lowered her head and kissed his soft cheek, "Yinzhen, do you miss your mother?"
In response to her, a clear and loud "Ah!"
"Have you thought about it?"
"ah."
"How much do you want it?"
Little Yinzhen: "..."
He is only one month old, how can he answer this?
After a moment's pause, he uttered "Ah" in a low voice.
"Wow, Yinzhen actually misses mother so much?"
Little Yinzhen:?
How did you translate it?
Li Shuyao was still talking to herself, "Mother misses Yinzhen too."
You missed me, and left me to Nanny Yan, and stayed in Yikun Palace for so long by yourself?
Little Yinzhen obviously didn't believe what Li Shuyao said. He pursed his lips and said nothing, his two little fists clenched tightly, and the previous joy was gone from his face.
He rolled his eyes and looked at the couch, seeing all kinds of toys neatly arranged.
Some I've seen before, some I haven't, and there's another one not far away...
Eh?
How come there is a little kid who is a circle bigger than him...
Little Yinzhen stared at it carefully for a while before he realized that it was not a real doll, but a doll made of skin-colored cloth.
She is bigger, whiter and prettier than him.
Her black hair was tied into a small bun, and real gold and silver hairpins were inserted into it, with velvet flowers as embellishments.
The pink cheongsam she was wearing was real, and the cloth shoes on her feet were real too.
If you didn't know this, you would think his new mother had given birth to two babies.
Little Yinzhen didn't think about any kind of curse or magic, but just blinked his big black eyes and looked at the rag doll curiously.
Nanny Yan waited patiently for him to finish reading before quickly stepping forward and saying, "Your Majesty, my brother has finished reading it. Can you give it to me to destroy?"
"Ah?" Li Shuyao was still cuddling her little cub with her head down. After hearing Nanny Yan's words, she raised her head in confusion, "Now?"
"But Yinzhen hasn't played yet."
Nanny Yan shook her head somewhat disapprovingly. "But Prince has already seen it. Look, he doesn't look particularly happy. This shows that Prince doesn't really like this doll."
Plus, the emperor is coming soon.
Nanny Yan became a little anxious and wanted to destroy this thing as soon as possible.
Upon hearing this, Li Shuyao lowered her head to glance at little Yinzhen. Seeing that he was still staring blankly at the little princess doll, she let him go.
Then she waved her hand and said, "Let's play."
Little Yinzhen couldn't sit yet, so after he was put over and lying on the couch, the doll next to him, which was a circle bigger than him, looked even bigger.
And after watching it for a long time, it’s… kind of scary.
It seems like this doll will come alive at any time.
Little Yinzhen lay there, his body so stiff that he couldn't even move his hands and feet. He held his breath and stared at the doll without blinking. After a while, his eyes gradually became red and moist.
Too... too big!!
Li Shuyao originally thought that after little Yinzhen was carried away, he would curiously reach out to grab the doll's hands and play with them.
But unexpectedly, he didn't move at all.
What's wrong? Are you unhappy?
Are you sleepy again?
Li Shuyao approached with some confusion, and immediately met little Yinzhen's chubby face full of fear.
He just waved his little hands and feet wildly, asking Li Shuyao for help: "Woo wa wa wa ah ...
Although Li Shuyao didn't know how to take care of a child, she knew that this was not an expression of joy at all.
This is obviously frightening to death.
Li Shuyao was also startled and quickly picked up her little cub.
As soon as little Yinzhen entered her arms, it was as if a switch was pressed. His two little hands grabbed the white dragon flower on her chest and he cried loudly and sadly.
He was not like other children who would just cry and scream at the top of their lungs.
Instead, her crying was fragmented and sobbing, and there was a very large tear in each eye socket. As she cried, the tears separated into four lines and slid down.
The little face was wet in no time.
Li Shuyao only felt that the clothes she had just put on seemed to be soaked by his tears.
Li Shuyao hurriedly tried to comfort him softly, "Oh, don't cry, Yinzhen, be good, don't cry, don't cry."
She comforted him twice, and then she realized that little Yinzhen must have been scared to tears by the little doll.
Although she didn't know the principle, she still ordered Nanny Yan, "Nanny, take that away quickly."
After a pause, she continued, "I will never make this kind of toy again."
Nanny Yan nodded with a serious face, suppressing her heartache for the little prince. She quickly picked up the doll and stuffed it into a cloth bag. She looked around like a thief and walked out of the main hall. She came to the small kitchen, drove everyone out, took the doll out of the cloth bag, cut it into pieces with scissors, and stuffed it one by one under the stove which was still burning.
After seeing with his own eyes that the thing and the cloth bag were burned to ashes, he returned to the room with satisfaction.
After a while, Li Shuyao had coaxed little Yinzhen into submission.
But after all, he had cried, and little Yinzhen looked a little listless and weak. He lay in Li Shuyao's arms, not even looking at the toys on the couch. His two little hands were still hanging on Li Shuyao's robe, and from time to time he puffed out his cheeks, pouted his lips, and sobbed a few times.
Li Shuyao's guilt gradually increased.
She was still a little upset. It was her fault. She had played with the child too much.
Oh, being a mother is so hard. I don’t even know how to play with my little one.
When you think about it this way, it really isn’t easy for her modern father and mother.
Li Shuyao walked back and forth several times in the small room holding little Yinzhen.
Tian Jiarou and Yue Shu couldn't bear to see her so tired and wanted to come over to take over her.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them approached, the little prince seemed to have noticed something. He pouted his little mouth and started crying in a low, slightly hoarse voice: "Woo..."
Li Shuyao quickly held little Yinzhen with his back to the two of them, lowered her head and patiently comforted him: "Don't cry, don't cry."
"If you cry any more, your throat will be damaged, and mother will be very distressed."
Only then did little Yinzhen stop crying.
The punishment for playing with children too much was that Li Shuyao had to hold little Yinzhen in her arms and walk back and forth in several rooms in the main hall. She would first walk slowly from the side room into the bedroom, then slowly walk out of the bedroom, pass through the side room, come to the guest hall, and then go to the study on the other side.
She walked back and forth several times, but the little Yinzhen in her arms showed no sign of improvement in mood.
Several times, when he saw Li Shuyao about to walk towards the couch, he would pout his little mouth without any hesitation and whimper in warning.
Li Shuyao: ...
She was wrong, she was really wrong.
She just wanted to introduce a new toy to Yinzhen, why punish her like this!
Li Shuyao held Yinzhen in her arms until her hands were sore and she could no longer walk. Then the little Yinzhen in her arms smacked his lips, loosened his little hands, slowly closed his eyes, and fell into a sweet dream.
Li Shuyao quickly stuffed him into Tian Jiarou's arms and said, "Take him away, take him away."
She didn't want to play with the cub for the next month.
However, perhaps because he was suddenly away from the familiar smell, little Yinzhen frowned and struggled with a whimpering sound not long after he was put into Tian Jiarou's arms.
Li Shuyao was so frightened that she rushed over and pulled him back into her arms.
After slapping his little buttocks twice, little Yinzhen's struggle gradually weakened, his brows stopped wrinkling, and his face regained its calmness.
Li Shuyao looked at Tian Jiarou speechlessly, "I won't. Should I keep holding him like this?"
Tian Jiarou suppressed a laugh and said, "Don't worry, Madam. I'll go get the wet nurses right away."
Because the wet nurse often feeds the little prince, the smell of her body is familiar to the little prince. I think the little prince should not resist it.
Li Shuyao nodded repeatedly and urged, "Then go quickly."
Tian Jiarou immediately turned around and walked out. After a while, she returned to the small room with four wet nurses.
Li Shuyao first handed little Yinzhen to one of the wet nurses, but perhaps because this wet nurse was not on duty today, the smell on her body was not right, and little Yinzhen soon began his familiar struggle again.
Li Shuyao quickly brought the baby back, patted its buttocks twice, and waited until the baby stopped struggling before continuing to try the next wet nurse.
After trying two wet nurses in a row, they all failed. When it was the third wet nurse's turn, little Yinzhen finally showed no signs of struggle.
Li Shuyao was so tired that she fell directly onto the couch and waved her hand with a tired look on her face, "Take her back."
It's so terrible.
After the wet nurse left, Li Shuyao rested for a while. Noticing that her Qipao dress was a little messy, she asked Tian Jiarou, "Is the hot water ready?"
Tian Jiarou nodded. "We're already preparing. We'll be able to go take a bath in a while. Would you like some snacks or fruit first?"
Li Shuyao shook her head. "No, I don't want to eat anymore. I just want to take a shower now."
Tian Jiarou could only go out and urge them.
*
By the time Li Shuyao finished taking a bath and tidied herself up, there was less than half an hour left before the emperor arrived.
Li Shuyao put on a thin shirt and waited in the room for a while.
Soon, the familiar sound of whips was heard outside Changchun Palace.
The palace maids in Changchun Palace were as joyful as if it were New Year's Day, lining up in the courtyard to pay their respects to the emperor.
——Isn’t it joyful? The green name card of their empress had just been hung back in the Jingshifang, and the emperor couldn’t wait to turn over the name card of their empress.
What does this mean? It means that their queen is in the emperor's favor and is highly favored by him!
It's better to follow a favored queen than to follow those unfavored noble ladies, right?
Li Shuyao here still doesn't know what the palace people are thinking.
She walked into the yard and was halfway through her greeting when someone helped her up from the ground with skillful movements.
Li Shuyao quickly smiled and said, "I thank the emperor."
The emperor looked as if he hadn't seen her for hundreds of years. His dark eyes stared at her closely, sizing her up for several breaths before he nodded proudly, "Hmm."
I don't know what he's saying "hmm".
Li Shuyao did not ask any further questions.
She boldly took the emperor's hand, and when she saw that he was only stunned for a moment but had no intention of resisting, she took him directly back to the side room of the main hall.
The emperor followed her in silence all the way. Only after they entered the small room did he take his eyes off Li Shuyao, looked around, and asked, "Where is Yinzhen?"
Upon hearing this, Li Shuyao was silent for a moment, and a hint of guilt flashed across her eyes.
After a moment, he replied, "He's already asleep, in the warm room. Your Majesty, would you like to go over and take a look?"
The emperor shook his head and returned his heavy gaze to Li Shuyao, as if he could never look enough.
Li Shuyao's cheeks started to feel hot.
She pinched her fingertips and suddenly felt a lot of pressure for some reason.
No one spoke in the room for a moment.
Seeing this, Tian Jiarou and Yue Shu immediately withdrew tactfully, closed the door tightly, and drove away the palace guards waiting outside the hall to prevent them from hearing any noises they shouldn't hear.
After a while, the atmosphere of silence continued to spread.
Li Shuyao pretended to be calm and looked at the emperor for a while, then her eyes could not help but move down to the emperor's thin lips. She stared at them for a while, and then her eyes continued to move down to his chin, Adam's apple, the buttons on his chest, his belt, and finally to the ground.
My cheeks were so hot I could almost fry an egg on them.
Oh, yes, eggs.
Li Shuyao then remembered that there was a table of midnight snacks prepared in the small room.
She quickly took the emperor's hand and led him to the round table, saying shyly, "Your Majesty has been reviewing memorials all day. I think he must be hungry..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted, "I didn't review any memorials today and left the palace."
"Leave the palace?" Li Shuyao was stunned when she heard that.
Then he reacted a little too slowly and realized that something was wrong with this conversation.
According to the normal routine, shouldn't the emperor take her to sit down with a loving look and say something like "I'm not hungry, my beloved, are you hungry?" with a distressed tone?
Then she could eat with a clear conscience...
Moreover, now that the emperor said he was not hungry, what was she going to say?
You said you are not hungry, but I am, so can you eat some with me first?
This doesn't seem like something a conscientious concubine would say.
Li Shuyao quickly fell into confusion. After a long while, she came to her senses, "Then, if the emperor is not hungry..."
They just get straight to the point?
"I just said I went out of the palace, but I didn't say I wasn't hungry."
A hint of smile flashed across the emperor's deep eyes.
After saying that, he sat down on the round stool beside the table and looked at her leisurely.
Li Shuyao:?
This scene is strangely familiar.
It seemed like... before she was diagnosed with being pregnant, the emperor liked to tease her like this every time he slept with her.
After he became pregnant with his baby, he rarely did this kind of thing.
Maybe it's because he took into consideration that her mood fluctuated greatly during pregnancy, and he was worried that it would make her sad or anxious, which would affect the baby in her belly, so he didn't tease her?
So, now that the baby in her belly was born safely and she's over her confinement period, he... just goes back to his old ways?
Thinking of this, Li Shuyao puffed out her cheeks in annoyance, and her apricot blossom eyes boldly showed some anger and condemnation.
After sitting down next to the round stool, she was the first to pick up the chopsticks and poked the empty porcelain plate twice, "Your Majesty always teases me like this, I will also be angry!"
The kitten showed its claws again.
The emperor found it somewhat amusing. He picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of braised pork for Li Shuyao. Then he asked her softly, "Why are you so angry?"
Li Shuyao: "..."
She was silent for a while, then said depressedly: "I haven't thought about it yet."
"Well, let's think about it after we finish eating."
As the emperor spoke, he seemed to have found the joy of feeding people. He continued to pick up a few more dishes for Li Shuyao with his chopsticks, filling her bowl completely. Only then did he happily start to pick up dishes for himself.
Li Shuyao thought about what he said and it made sense.
After all, eating is the most important thing in life. In addition, she was disturbed by Yinzhen for so long in the afternoon that she was already hungry.
So he simply forgot about the surprise, picked up the chopsticks and lowered his head to eat.
He ate very seriously, his cheeks bulging as he chewed, like a cute little animal.
Although the emperor was not very hungry, after watching her eat for a while, he somehow ended up finishing a whole bowl of rice and several plates of dishes.
The emperor, who always paid attention to health preservation and never overeat at night, looked at the empty blue and white porcelain bowl in front of him, which looked as if it had been washed, and fell silent: "..."
It seems like a misstep.
