"Mother! This is a child my brother and I rescued together. He's so pitiful and can't speak yet. Please let him stay with me." The little girl looked at her pitifully, and Consort Yu was not heartless.
Although he had some reservations about the child's filth, he nodded understandingly. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, and this was also a way to pray for the two children.
Consort Yu chuckled softly and said to Qingyin, "She's a pitiful child."
"Ah Nuan!"
An ordinary-looking but pleasant-looking palace maid walked out.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Consort Yu gently pointed at Qingyin: "Take this child to take a good bath."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The young palace maid led Qingyin away. Although Wu Yanmeng was still a little reluctant to part with Qingyin, Consort Yu's reason was reasonable and she understood it, so she had no choice but to let her sister Anuan lead her little friend away.
Qingyin, who was forced to separate from Wu Yanmeng, was not nervous.
Ah Nuan, who was holding the child's hand and worried that the child would make a fuss, was a little surprised. The two young masters in the palace, the Tenth Prince and the Twelfth Princess, were not well-behaved. It was rare to see such a well-behaved child, and Ah Nuan felt a little favor towards him.
Once inside the warm pool, the child cooperated, and Ah Nuan's movements became even gentler.
Especially when the child's face was cleaned, revealing a delicate face that was extremely thin but still showed excellent features, Ah Nuan was momentarily stunned.
Unlike the little princess's charming cuteness and the tenth prince's handsome features, the child's face was extremely pale, with very little color in it, making him look like a piece of jade, fragile and pitiful. Moreover, the child had a pair of extremely rare eyes, so beautiful that there was no flaw in them. They were clean and clear, like glass, making people want to be affectionate at first glance.
No wonder the little princess likes him so much.
However, Ah Nuan still felt a little regretful. The child was a boy, and no matter what, the child certainly couldn't stay by the princess's side forever.
Qingyin guessed the palace maid's emotions, but he might not be so sure.
Qingyin closed his eyes and let Anuan wipe the water droplets off his body. He changed into clean and tidy clothes. The clothes were so small that the palace maids had to get them from the eunuchs. It was a small blue robe.
The garment, though fitted onto the pitifully thin child, was still too loose, making him look even more pathetic.
But it was barely wearable. Ah Nuan sighed, feeling a strange pity for the child. She bent down and gave Qingyin a piece of advice: "Little one, you must be obedient, especially to the princess and the imperial concubine, understand?"
Qingyin nodded obediently, carefully straightening a hairpin that had fallen out of Anuan's hair.
Ah Nuan's eyes softened, and she patted the child's head: "You child! You really break my heart. From now on, I'll call you Ah Di."
Qingyin smiled obediently and nodded, listening perfectly, which earned her another imagined look of sympathy from Anuan.
If Qingyin had a favorability registration form, several favorability notifications would probably be ringing in her mind right now:
"Ah Nuan's favorability +1"
"A-Nuan's favorability +1"
"A-Nuan's favorability +1"
...
All this was waiting for Qingyin to reappear before Consort Yu and Wu Yanmeng, who had just been bathed again. The mother and daughter's similarly captivating eyes simultaneously widened, and they exclaimed, "!!!"
A smile flashed in Qingyin's eyes.
Consort Yu looked at the child with pity: "Poor child, his face is so pale, it breaks my heart to see him like this."
Consort Yu, who already had a young daughter of about the same age, was overcome with maternal love again. She gently took Qingyin's hand and patted her head.
"Chunyan, use my excuse to invite an imperial physician to come and take a look."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Chunyan, one of the palace maids who had been close to Consort Yu for a long time, was slightly surprised, but after glancing at the child the princess had picked up, she understood.
Such a pitiful child is truly heartbreaking, no wonder the Empress likes him.
At this moment, Wu Yanmeng had already run to Qingyin's side. Although she was only a head taller than Qingyin, the chubby little girl made Qingyin look even more pitiful compared to the thin Qingyin.
Consort Yu carefully pulled her head back, saying to her daughter who was always running around recklessly, "Be gentle, child. He's so small, what if you bump into him?"
Wu Yanmeng nodded deeply and obediently distanced herself from Qingyin.
But her enthusiasm and fondness remained unchanged, and she continued, "Wow, you're so handsome! I think you're even more handsome than my brother!"
"But you're too thin, you'd look better if you were a little chubby! Don't worry, you'll stay by my side from now on, you'll eat whatever I eat, I promise to fatten you up nicely and plump." The little girl patted her chest and promised, looking extremely cute and amusing.
This brought a warm smile to the hearts of many palace maids.
Even Consort Yu smiled, "Yes, from now on you will eat with our Yan'er."
Qingyin nodded obediently; he was now a ruthless nodding machine.
"Oh, right!" Consort Yu seemed to have thought of something, and then asked A'Nuan beside her, "Is this child a boy or a girl?"
Although she asked the question, Consort Yu was already certain that the child was a girl.
"Your Majesty, the child is a boy," Anuan replied respectfully, bowing her head to hide the regret in her eyes.
Consort Yu opened her eyes wide in surprise; the boy actually had such a delicate face.
Then... this child probably won't be able to stay by Yan'er's side anymore. After all, he's a child she saved, and it's not right to let him enter the palace and become a eunuch. Consort Yu was thinking this sincerely at the moment.
