Qingyin could tell from his movements and face that he had not had a good life before.
Qingyin gave the little eunuch a look, signaling him to leave, and carefully placed some meat on the plate of the thin boy.
Such a thin and small child won't be healthy if he doesn't eat some meat.
Qingyin looked at Xie Xi gently and said, "Go ahead and use it. Help yourself to whatever you want to eat."
Xie Xi looked at the pile of meat that had suddenly appeared in her bowl, her eyes silently reddening, and a smile appeared on her lips, revealing her dimples: "Thank you, Mother."
"Um."
The child was now family, so Qingyin took good care of him.
Xie Xi, a child who had never tasted sweets, liked Qingyin after seeing her. Moreover, Qingyin treated him so well, and he was filled with gratitude, which made his feelings for her grow stronger.
The Lingxi Palace was bustling with activity because of the new little prince, while the atmosphere in the harem was quite strange because the favored Consort Yu was carrying another prince.
A favored concubine who has no children is very different from one who has children.
Those with ulterior motives couldn't sit still any longer.
Having spent half a month in Lingxi Palace, the young boy, who had gained a lot of weight and whose face had become rounder, paused when he saw the familiar eunuch suddenly approaching him.
"Oh, Tenth Prince, this old servant hasn't seen you in so long." Eunuch Jiang's face was covered in tears, his eyes were wrinkled, and his eyes gleamed.
Xie Xi looked at the eunuch who had once given him a steamed bun when he was in the cold palace out of pity, and opened his mouth: "Eunuch Jiang."
"Oh, the Tenth Prince is so clever, he still remembers this old servant's name. This old servant is truly delighted." Eunuch Jiang looked at the young man in front of him with a flattering smile.
Looking at the young boy whose expression was just as sullen as when he was in the cold palace, a hint of contempt flashed in Eunuch Jiang's eyes.
He was born to a lowly maid, and even though Consort Yu raised him, he couldn't change his base and foolish nature.
Seeing that he still obediently came over, what a fool he is, but it's good that he can complete the Empress's task.
"Alas, Your Highness, this old servant is unsure whether I should speak or not," Eunuch Jiang said after feigning hesitation for a moment.
Xie Xi blinked her thick eyelashes, her dark eyes looking at the eunuch in front of her. A hint of disgust flashed in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it.
"Well, since Eunuch Jiang has been so kind to me, let's just get straight to the point."
Standing in front of him, Eunuch Jiang didn't notice the boy's gaze at all. Because the boy's attitude was the same as before, the old eunuch subconsciously looked down on him and didn't pay close attention to the boy's expression.
"This old servant is only doing this for the sake of the Tenth Prince. Although the Tenth Prince is now Consort Yu's child, Your Highness, you know that you are not Consort Yu's biological son. What will you do if Consort Yu has her own child in the future?"
