Upon hearing this, He Yanyu smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. My son has fully recovered, and this is all thanks to His Majesty."
Dou Shiliu pretended not to know and put down his teacup. "Oh? How so?"
"That day, after the Emperor arrived, the beloved son gradually stopped crying and fussing, drank his milk obediently, and his throat felt much better."
He Yanyu felt that it was the imperial aura of Emperor Yan of Di'an that drove away the bad things from his child.
Dou Shiliu nodded. Seeing that He Yanyu and Ji Ya were both unusually enthusiastic towards her, she thought to herself, "Little Greenie saved your son."
Since it was in the inner palace, He Yanyu couldn't stay, so she left early, leaving Ji Ya alone to keep Dou Shiliu company.
"Your Highness, where is your baby?" Ji Ya asked in confusion.
Dou Shiliu thought to herself, "Isn't she right beside us? It's just that Ji Ya can't see Little Green with her mortal eyes."
Little Green listened to Ji Ya talking about her, her eyes darted around, and then she went back into the inner room, returning to being the swaddled baby once more.
Dou Shiliu naturally took Ji Ya to see Xiao Lü Lü; the child was quite clever and quick-witted.
"So cute!" Ji Ya's eyes lit up, and the awkwardness she felt in front of Dou Shiliu instantly disappeared. She had been keeping a proper and well-behaved demeanor, which had been suffocating her, but now that she saw the little baby, she couldn't resist.
"Your Highness, may I hold the princess?" Ji Ya looked at Dou Shiliu expectantly, hoping that this unusually gentle lady, who was not as aloof as those other young ladies, would agree.
Dou Shiliu smiled gently, and Xinran agreed: "Of course."
Giya smiled, "I'll be very careful."
Under Dou Shiliu's watchful gaze, Ji Ya carefully picked up Xiao Lü Lü, looking at the bright and lovely child with kind eyes.
"Your Highness, what is the princess's name?" Ji Ya looked at Xiao Lü Lü and felt her heart melt. Indeed, she was born to be a princess.
With her flawless skin and innocent eyes, Little Green smiled sweetly at Ji Ya. This person was showing her great kindness, and she liked it very much.
Jiya really wanted to pinch her chubby cheeks; they looked so soft, she couldn't resist.
Dou Shiliu chimed in, "His nickname is Lvlv."
Ji Ya was taken aback. Holding Little Green, she turned to look at Bean Sixteen and asked, somewhat puzzled, "The Green of green?"
Dou Shiliu nodded silently. Ji Ya wondered why they chose this name. It seemed so casual, but the Emperor and the others must have chosen it with a different meaning.
The white creature laughed. When it asked its host to give the female lead a nice name, it was too much trouble and just picked a homophone for the female lead's green. Now it was laughing its head off.
"Ahem, His Majesty said that the first time Greenie was born, all the flowers in the garden sprouted new buds, so he named her Greenie, which means full of vitality."
Dou Shiliu started again, rambling on and on. Now she felt like she could be an editor herself.
Ji Ya nodded thoughtfully, not expecting it to have such a meaning. Ji Ya didn't think too much about it and lowered her head to tease Little Green, her eyes unusually gentle.
Little Green reached out her hand, her fair arm grasping Ji Ya's fingers, and babbled out a few incomprehensible words.
Dou Shiliu couldn't understand either, but she knew that Xiao Lülu was pretending to be a baby.
A hint of a smile flashed across her eyes. This child was hilarious. Little Green seemed to have a fairly good impression of Ji Ya Feng. Among all the people who came, she was the only one who gave Ji Ya a kind look. She could hardly see any smiles from the others, and they just showed their butts to them.
After playing with Xiao Lülü for a while, Ji Ya said goodbye to Dou Shiliu, reluctantly putting Xiao Lülü down. Then Dou Shiliu had the eunuch escort her out.
"Little Greenie, do you like Madam Crane very much?" Dou Shiliu asked softly as he watched Little Greenie come out again, holding her in his arms.
Little Greenie's wings trembled, and its bright, watery eyes seemed to be filled with mist.
"She wasn't as dark-skinned as the previous ones."
Little Green saw that the group of people from before were almost completely consumed by the stench of money, while the woman from before had a heart that was completely pure and clean.
Dou Shiliu naturally knew what Xiao Lülu was talking about. She had known for a long time that Xiao Lülu could distinguish between good and evil, probably due to her ability.
Dou Shiliu looked into Xiao Lülü's pure eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly, hoping that those eyes would not be hurt by love.
Even the most heartless person can be melted by love, let alone such an adorable little green creature!
Dou Shiliu began to pray that her love would be beautiful and happy.
...
When Ji Ya came out of the palace and returned to the He residence, she kept praising Consort Xiu's little darling to He Yanyu.
"My lord, you have no idea how big and bright the princess's eyes are. They look at you with such sparkle that they almost melt my heart."
"And also, that little princess grabbed my hand, and I could feel how soft and wonderful her hand was."
"In the future, we must make sure our son sees what a beauty truly is, one that can shame the moon and make the flowers blush, a beauty that can make fish sink and geese fall from the sky."
Jiya cupped her face in her hands, imagining how the crane would swoon over the little princess in the future, and the thought made her a little excited.
He Yanyu: "..."
He pulled his restless wife, who had been bothering him from the very beginning, into his arms, and whispered helplessly in her ear, "Our son is only a month old."
His voice carried an unusual sense of helplessness. This daughter-in-law, having left the palace, had become nothing more than a little fan of the princess.
“This princess isn’t even a month old yet,” Ji Ya said, pouting as she got out of He Yanyu’s arms. “If the little princess marries into our family, there won’t be any complicated mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationships, right? You’ll even be more closely related to the Emperor through marriage.”
He Yanyu smiled faintly, her eyes crinkling as she spoke, "My wife, how do you know that the little princess won't be sent away for a political marriage when she grows up?"
Ji Ya was stunned, then patted her chest and said, "Our emperor only has this one princess now, and he will probably bestow upon her something of extraordinary favor during the full moon."
"Even without the Emperor's favor, Consort Xiu dotes on Xiao Lü Lü. The Emperor's heart is entirely with Consort Xiu, so I believe he will extend his affection to her as well."
Ji Ya spoke with such conviction that if Dou Shiliu were in the philosophical world, he would definitely applaud and say, "That's so true." Her cannon fodder boss certainly wouldn't want to see her cry, but it's hard to tell how much he cares for Xiao Lü Lü.
For Di Anyan, Little Green was merely a tool to silence the ministers.
