Lin Muheng never expected that he would be taught a lesson by Jiang Chuwei.
To be honest, he had always been opposed to the Empress's decision to raise Lin Mulang in Fengning Palace.
The reason is simple: Lin Mulang was born to Consort Mei.
Who knows what kind of personality Lin Mulang will develop in the future?
What if we raise an ungrateful, ungrateful brat?
Moreover, there are many nannies and eunuchs in the palace, so who would dare not take good care of him?
Watching Jiang Chuwei and Lin Mulang interact, Lin Muheng wondered if he was being too cautious.
Taking care of Lin Mulang is his responsibility as the older brother, and now that the Empress has taken care of her own affairs, she is also relieving his burden.
Fortunately, the child was quite clever and quick-witted, and did not disappoint Jiang Chuwei's efforts.
Just then, the relaxed atmosphere was instantly shattered. Lin Muheng's handsome face suddenly turned serious. He frowned, stared at Jiang Chuwei with a serious look, and said slowly, "You must be careful and make sure he doesn't bump into you recklessly."
Jiang Chuwei nodded repeatedly without the slightest hesitation, saying, "Okay! I will definitely be careful."
In truth, she knew perfectly well that if she didn't agree right now, given how much Lin Muheng valued her, he might forbid Lin Mulang from getting close to her during her pregnancy.
However, this would undoubtedly be extremely detrimental to Lin Muheng's growth.
After all, ever since Jiang Chuwei took on the important task of raising Lin Mulang, she had made up her mind to be fully responsible for him to the end.
In Fengning Palace today, the palace maids and eunuchs are walking on thin ice, extremely cautious.
Jiang Chuwei is being protected too closely these days.
Judging from the emperor's demeanor, he was afraid of falling while walking and choking while drinking water.
The Emperor's care for her was so meticulous that it was astonishing, creating a tense atmosphere throughout the entire Fengning Palace.
The palace maids always moved with utmost care, as if the slightest disturbance would startle their esteemed mistress.
Even Xia Qi, who has always been lively and cheerful, has become cautious in her speech, completely losing her former agility.
Jiang Chuwei keenly sensed that something was clearly wrong with the situation. She was only pregnant, not seriously ill, so why were people so apprehensive and on high alert?
Moreover, looking at the current harem, besides her, who else would dare to be so audacious as to harm her?
Jiang Chuwei solemnly promulgated a new palace rule, her tone firm yet gentle: "From now on, everyone only needs to speak and act as usual. I hope that the children can grow up in a sunny and relaxed atmosphere. Being in a repressive environment for a long time is not good for the development of the fetus in my womb."
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Standing to the side, Xia Qi quickly chimed in, "Your Majesty is truly wise and far-sighted! Before, everyone was so afraid of being silenced that even I dared not speak freely."
However, to Jiang Chuwei's surprise, although her fears that the Emperor would forbid Lin Mulang from approaching her had not come true, Lin Mulang had indeed visited her much less frequently recently.
Lin Mulang would only visit the palace to pay his respects every few days, and each time he did so, he was always cautious and well-behaved.
Jiang Chuwei understood immediately; this must be due to the wet nurse's teachings.
So she sent someone to summon Lin Mulang to her side and asked softly, "Lang'er, why haven't you been visiting your sister-in-law as often as before?"
Lin Mulang lowered her head, fidgeting with the hem of her clothes, and timidly replied, "Granny said that Lang'er must not act rashly, lest she harm the child in my sister-in-law's belly..."
As he finished speaking, his voice grew softer and softer, almost like a mosquito's buzz.
Immediately afterward, Lin Mulang raised her head, blinked her big, bright eyes, and looked at Jiang Chuwei with anticipation, eagerly asking, "Sister-in-law, how much longer will it take for my little nephew to grow up? Lang'er really wants to see him soon so that we can play together again soon!"
Lin Mulang genuinely enjoyed being close to Jiang Chuwei, as if she possessed a unique charm that attracted him.
He doesn't remember what his mother looks like.
He often imagined his sister-in-law as his mother.
When Lin Mulang heard the question, "Lang'er, wouldn't you like to watch your little nephew grow up every day?" she was so excited she almost jumped up, her voice instantly rising to a louder, "Of course I do!"
His clear, large eyes sparkled with excitement as he gazed at Jiang Chuwei with anticipation.
He can spend every day with his sister-in-law again.
Lin Mulang had special feelings for his sister-in-law. However, the palace maids and eunuchs always whispered in his ear that his brother would be unhappy if he frequently visited his sister-in-law.
But the innocent Lin Mulang did not believe these words. He felt that he never caused trouble and simply wanted to accompany his sister-in-law.
Jiang Chuwei seemed to see through his thoughts and said with a smile, "Then how about you come and keep your sister-in-law company every day?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Mulang's face immediately lit up with a bright smile, and he nodded eagerly in agreement: "Sure! As long as I can come and keep you company every day, you'll be happy, and my little nephew will definitely be happy too!" As he spoke, he couldn't help but reach out his little hand, wanting to touch Jiang Chuwei's belly.
The old woman said her nephew lives here.
He will protect his nephew as he grows up.
Just then, a greeting resounded throughout the palace: "May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings and peace!"
Lin Muheng strode in. The moment he entered, his gaze fell directly on Lin Mulang's hand, which was reaching for Jiang Chuwei's stomach. In an instant, the entire room seemed to be enveloped in an invisible chill, sending a shiver down everyone's spine.
Lin Mulang, as if electrocuted, quickly withdrew his hand.
