Chapter 97 Chapter 97 Little Yinzhen was stunned.
The news that Concubine Yi had successfully given birth to a child quickly spread throughout the Forbidden City and beyond.
The next day, another large amount of rewards were sent into the Yikun Palace like water.
When Li Shuyao went there early in the morning, Lingluo told her that Concubine Yi had not yet woken up from her coma, so she went to the warm room to check on the newly born little prince. She compared his appearance with that of her own baby and felt that her own baby seemed to be better looking.
Maybe it’s because of the mother filter, or maybe it’s because the new baby is still a little wrinkled ball.
Li Shuyao didn't take a few glances, then left the Yiku Palace with a lack of interest and headed straight towards the Cining Palace.
Not long after she arrived at the gate of the Cining Palace, she was invited in by Su Malagu who had heard the news.
As they walked, Su Malagu introduced her, "The old ancestor hasn't gotten up yet."
Li Shuyao said sympathetically, "Then I'll go see Yinzhen first, and then pay my respects to the old ancestor after he wakes up. How about that?"
Su Malagu nodded and walked a little faster.
…
In a gorgeously decorated side hall of the Cining Palace, a little baby just happened to open a pair of big misty eyes.
Then, lying flat on his back, he twisted his neck and looked around twice. After confirming that he was still in the Cining Palace, the baby sighed softly and closed his eyes again with some disappointment.
Woohoo, why hasn’t his new mother come to pick him up yet?
The last time I visited him was two days ago, and now it’s the third day.
If he doesn't come soon, he will forget what his new mother looks like.
After thinking about it, the little baby raised his chubby little hands like steamed buns with some grievance, wiped a circle under his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes and saw that there were no tears.
The little baby felt that he was sometimes quite hard-hearted. He missed her so much in his heart, but not a single tear shed.
Should I say that he is truly a good son to his new mother?
well……
Little Yinzhen sighed again, turned over with a somewhat discouraged look, facing his butt toward the door, closed his eyes and planned to sleep again.
"Squeak--" Suddenly there was a sound of the door being opened from the outside.
I guess it was the wet nurse who came in to check if he was awake.
Little Yinzhen remained unmoved and continued to lie quietly on his side on the bed, his little hands and feet placed forward very naturally, with a small lump of pink flesh squeezed out on his cheek.
As soon as Li Shuyao walked in, the first thing she saw was her baby sleeping in a gas tank-like position.
Wow, so cute!
She sat down on the edge of the bed with some excitement, stretched out her finger and poked a shallow small dent on the baby's cheek.
The next second, the baby slapped his fingers in annoyance as if to shoo away a mosquito.
Li Shuyao: “?”
Hey, isn't the baby asleep?
Little Yinzhen also: "?"
That's not right. The wet nurse and the palace maids didn't dare to poke him.
Ukuma Mama and Huangma Mama would not do such childish things.
Khan Ama... Khan Ama should still be attending the morning court at this time, and it is even more impossible for him to appear here.
The brother next to you doesn’t have such long fingers.
Is that another mother? She wants to sneak in and steal him away while his mother is away?
...But that's even more wrong!
Who would steal a baby from the Cining Palace?
After eliminating all possibilities, only one guess remained in his mind - it was his own mother who came!
Thinking of this, little Yinzhen quickly opened a pair of clear big eyes like black grapes, twisted his neck, and after seeing clearly who was sitting on the edge of the bed, he hibernated in the thick quilt for a while like a little insect, and with a "smack", he put his round head on Li Shuyao's thigh.
——It was because the quilt that the wet nurse covered him with was too thick.
In addition to the top layer of quilt, there was also a thin blanket inside, and something called "Abebe" that his mother had repeatedly urged him to have.
The wet nurses never dared to forget his mother's instructions. No matter whether he was sleeping normally or taking a short nap at noon, the wet nurses would wrap him in this "Abebe" and put him inside the quilt.
Over time, he has developed a habit. He cannot fall asleep without holding a corner of Abebei or smelling Abebei's scent.
Or maybe not long after falling asleep, you would wake up crying because of the insecurity in your heart.
Now that he saw his mother whom he hadn't seen for a long time, little Yinzhen wanted to throw himself into her arms.
But...but he couldn't climb out for a while, and he wanted to get as close to his mother as possible. After trying for a long time, the result was that only his round head was resting on his mother's thigh.
But this is enough.
His mother would sense his feelings and would definitely rescue him from the thick quilt.
Then he can be held in his mother's arms, kissed and cuddled... eh?
What is my mother doing?
Little Yinzhen's head had just rested on Li Shuyao's thigh when Li Shuyao lifted it up without any hesitation and placed it back on the small pillow.
Then she reached into the thick quilt and fumbled to put little Yinzhen's body back in place.
Carefully cover the second layer of blanket, then the outermost layer of thick quilt.
The soft fingertips touched little Yinzhen's nose, "Go to sleep!"
"Who made you wake up so early?"
"It's still more than half an hour before the morning hour, and you're already awake. Who are you trying to mess with?"
Mao time is between 5 and 7 in the morning.
Half an hour is an hour, and more than half an hour... In other words, it's just past three in the morning, not even four, and the baby is already awake. If he's not trying to make trouble, what could he be?
Another thing is that he is at the age of growing up. If he doesn’t sleep well, what will happen if he doesn’t grow taller in the future?
Li Shuyao didn't say anything and simply raised her hand to force the baby's eyes, which were still fluttering and blinking, to shut down.
Little Yinzhen: “?”
What, it's not even 12:00 AM yet...
Since you know it’s not yet dawn, why are you here?
Also, didn’t you usually not get up before Chenshi? Why are you wandering around the harem just after Yinshi today?
You...you didn't come here just to see me, did you?
Little Yinzhen suddenly realized something.
Then he changed his mind and remembered a piece of news he had accidentally heard from the people in Cining Palace yesterday. It said that at exactly 10 o'clock yesterday, Concubine Yi in Yiku Palace successfully gave birth to a little prince, which made Concubine Ling in Changchun Palace very happy!
So, his mother was so happy that she couldn't sleep, and she started walking around the harem in the middle of the night to express her joy?
Little Yinzhen suddenly felt a little jealous.
I feel like I have a miserable life.
It would be fine if he met a bad mother in his previous life who didn't treat him as her own son and whose heart and eyes were filled with only her youngest son.
The mother you met in this life is even more outrageous. Your biological son is still being fostered in the Cining Palace, but instead of thinking about how to get him back, you are rejoicing over the birth of a baby next door.
I don’t even want to sleep.
What? Do you want him to replace the fifth brother in your previous life and send him directly to the royal mother to be raised?
Little Yinzhen made a teeth-grinding motion, even though he had no teeth at the moment.
But that didn't stop him from being so angry that he wanted to curse.
Then the little mouth opened——
"Woooo ...
The curse was so ugly.
Li Shuyao didn't understand.
After all, she was learning English, not baby talk.
When she heard the baby babbling and "talking" to her, her clear almond eyes suddenly widened.
"Wow!"
So magical!
She released her hand that was "forcefully shutting down" the baby's phone and leaned closer. "Baby, what do you want to say to me?"
"Wooooooow!" - You're really going to piss me off to death!
Li Shuyao:?
She tried to translate, "Is your little belly hungry?"
"Do you want me to go out and call the wet nurse to feed you now?"
"Pu la wah wah ha la!" - No! Who's hungry? I'm not hungry. Come here and I'll talk to you!
"Luluwawa gahwala!" - Is there anyone like you in this world who acts as a mother? You haven't come to see me for several days!
"Jiliwaaaaalahabalubowa!" - Yi'eniang is very nice, but Yi'eniang's baby is her baby, not yours. I am your baby. Why don't you treat me better!
"Lulalawashagulalie..." Before he could finish the sentence, Li Shuyao, who had come to his senses, suddenly covered his mouth with his hand.
His voice was really too loud.
Li Shuyao could hear the sudden footsteps outside the door, and the familiar voice of the wet nurse beside Yinzhen asked, "What's wrong? Is the little prince awake?"
"Usually I sleep until 2:15 AM before waking up to drink my first milk. Why are you up so early today?"
"Eh? Aunt Suma, why are you here?"
"Ahem," Su Malagu's cough was a little unnatural. She said, "I'm sending Concubine Ling to visit the young prince."
"It turns out that Concubine Ling is here."
"Then I feel relieved. I just thought that the young prince was woken up by someone."
The voices gradually faded away.
Little Yinzhen had his mouth covered by his mother, and his expression was very sad.
He had just been talking a lot to his mother, and he was really hungry.
When I heard the wet nurse coming outside the door, I thought my mother would call them in to feed her... Didn't she say herself that she wanted to call the wet nurse in to feed her?
How come she goes back on her word even though everyone is already outside?
What a bad mother!
Li Shuyao didn't know that her little baby was plotting against her in his mind.
She covered the baby's mouth for a while, and when she saw that he had stopped babbling, she said softly, "Be quiet and don't disturb others."
It's strange, she wasn't this annoying when she was a baby.
Or is this the innate difference between boys and girls?
Li Shuyao held her hand for a while longer, and watching the light in the baby's eyes dim little by little, she slowly released her hand and pushed the baby to the inside of the bed to ensure that he would not turn over and fall off the bed. Then she stood up and walked to the door and whispered a few words to Su Malagu.
Su Malagu quickly called back the two wet nurses.
After they came in, they first paid their respects to Li Shuyao according to the rules, and then went to feed little Yinzhen.
When she reached out to unbutton her clothes, Li Shuyao blushed and looked away. She pinched Su Malagu's sleeve and asked her if she could go to another palace and wait for a while until the wet nurses finished feeding her before coming in.
When Su Malagu heard this, she raised her eyebrows, obviously a little surprised by her request.
She glanced at the two wet nurses at the edge of the bed, their breasts exposed. Suddenly, she pursed her lips and smiled, as if thinking of something. She then said to Li Shuyao, "Your Highness, I believe you haven't slept all night, have you? Why don't you go to the side room and change into something looser, then come back later to sleep with the young prince?"
Li Shuyao nodded repeatedly.
As early as when she sent little Yinzhen to the Cining Palace, the old ancestor ordered people to prepare several sets of clothes for her in the Cining Palace for her to change.
This was to prevent the day when little Yinzhen really couldn't bear to leave her and started crying and making a fuss, so that she could just change her clothes and pretend to be "Mother won't leave", coaxing little Yinzhen to sleep first, and then she could leave alone.
However, after these clothes were prepared, they were never used once.
It must be said that Lingpin and her son are sometimes so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.
No wonder the emperor dotes on Concubine Ling so much.
Su Malagu led Li Shuyao to an empty room next door, and ordered someone to get new clothes and also asked someone to make a cup of hot tea and bring it over.
Li Shuyao didn't want to go back and see the wet nurse feeding the baby, so she sat obediently in the room for a while, slowly drank a whole cup of hot tea, and then changed her clothes with the help of Tian Jiarou and Yue Shu, and returned to the side hall where little Yinzhen was.
The wet nurse here had just finished. After tidying up the clothes, she picked up the little prince from the bed and was patiently coaxing him to sleep.
But little Yinzhen was still thinking about his biological mother, so how could he be easily coaxed to sleep by the wet nurse?
Lying in the arms of the wet nurse, he scratched, kicked, and pupated, his little body as agile as an elusive wild monkey in the mountains.
"What... are you doing?" A hesitant female voice came softly.
Little Yinzhen just happened to kick the wet nurse on the cheek.
Before the wet nurse could feel the pain, after hearing Li Shuyao's voice, she quickly turned around holding the little prince and saluted Li Shuyao.
"Get up quickly."
Li Shuyao came over and personally helped the wet nurse who was holding little Yinzhen up from the ground. She then reached out and patted the little Yinzhen's chubby feet gently, her voice slightly deep, "Are your feet being naughty?"
It was rare for her to look so serious, and she immediately stunned the two wet nurses, Tian Jiarou and others.
Little Yinzhen was also a little scared. He moved his toes and retracted his feet little by little.
At the same time, I felt aggrieved. Why did he do this?
Isn’t it just that you want to wait for mother to come back and look at her a few more times?
He was also afraid that if he fell asleep, his mother would run away again.
This time I didn't come to see him for three consecutive days. Will I not come for seven or ten days next time?
The eight-month-old baby pouted his mouth, frowned, and struggled to hold back his tears.
Li Shuyao didn't look at him, but asked the wet nurse, "Is Yinzhen always so disobedient?"
The nurse didn't dare hesitate for a moment and shook her head repeatedly, "No, no, no, that's not the case. The little prince is usually very obedient and sensible. It's just... maybe he was a little happy after seeing mother today. It's also my fault. I shouldn't have forced him to sleep with me."
Li Shuyao thought about it and it seemed to be true.
Little Yinzhen hasn't seen her for so long, he must miss her.
The long paragraph of "woowawa" baby talk before should be translated as "Mommy, you are finally here, baby misses you so much!", right?
She had wronged Yinzhen.
Li Shuyao's expression suddenly relaxed, and a hint of guilt flashed in her eyes.
She reached out and took her baby back from the wet nurse's arms, and first measured the temperature of his chubby little feet that looked like two white radishes.
Then she waved her hand to signal the wet nurses to go out, and quickly returned to the bed under the quilt with the baby in her arms.
Little Yinzhen was still feeling aggrieved and didn't really want to pay any attention to this bad mother.
Li Shuyao didn't care about her. After all, she didn't have the ability to read minds, so how could she know what the baby was thinking?
She first touched the baby's feet and whispered to him, "I'm sorry, mother just wronged you."
"But you were also wrong. If you didn't want to sleep, you didn't have to. But how could you kick the wet nurse in the face? That was really disobedient."
After saying this, she touched the baby's face with the hand that had just touched the baby's feet, and taking advantage of the baby's young age and ignorance, she said confidently: "They say the five virtues and four beauties are civility, courtesy, hygiene, order, and morality, as well as beauty of mind, language, behavior, and environment."
"Look at that kick you just made. You made so many mistakes. Isn't it time to reflect on yourself?"
What?
Little Yinzhen was stunned.
