Chapter 29 Let Him Experience It For Himself
"Shu'er usually sleeps for about an hour, sometimes two hours. Well... the time is not very stable, so..."
Yu Jinyi didn't want to tell Chu Chengyi that Emperor Yongping never cared whether Chu Qinshu was awake or asleep, he would just take her away whenever he said so.
According to Nanny Yao, Emperor Yongping also placed a small rocking bed specifically for Chu Qinshu in the bedroom where he rested in the study.
The interior decoration is no worse than her room.
"My lady, Eunuch Lin has brought people to pick up the little princess."
Chu Chengyi was still anxiously waiting for his daughter to wake up so he could hug her, but unexpectedly he heard the report from Aunt Yao.
"Didn't Shu'er go to Father's place yesterday? Why are you going again today?"
Chu Chengyi was puzzled.
Didn’t we agree to go to Yu’s study and stay there for half an hour every other day?
"Yesterday, it was Shu'er who wanted to go on her own. It wasn't the day set by the emperor, so..."
Yu Jinyi smiled helplessly. She, as a mother, was still in confinement after giving birth, but the child was carried around the palace. What did she say?
"But Shu'er is still asleep. Why don't we ask Eunuch Lin to come later?"
In Chu Chengyi's opinion, one cannot hold a child casually when he/she is asleep.
"Your Highness, I brought a fox fur blanket that the Emperor prepared specially for the little princess. Wrapping her in the fox fur blanket will make her as warm as a quilt, so she won't feel cold."
Lin Fu will come to pick up Chu Qinshu in person the next day, as he is very experienced in this regard.
Chu Chengyi: "..."
Is he afraid of freezing Shu'er?
He simply didn't want Shu'er to go to Yu's study.
But he couldn't say any more.
If Lin Fu saw that his injuries were about to heal, all his previous plans would be in vain.
"Well, thank you... Eunuch Lin... for making this trip."
Chu Chengyi and Yu Jinyi spoke in low voices. After all, Chu Qinshu was still sleeping in the room, and he was afraid of disturbing her.
When Lin Fu came, he pretended to be injured again.
"Aiya, Your Highness, don't worry about me. I'm looking forward to picking up the little princess every day."
Lin Fu replied with a smile and handed the fox fur blanket in his hand to Aunt Yao.
He had to hold the little princess for a while longer on the way. He always felt that his mind worked much faster when he held the little princess.
He has served the emperor for so many years and has held many princes and grandchildren in his arms, but he has never seen any one as well-behaved and clever as the little princess.
Chu Qinshu was taken away, and Chu Chengyi felt like he was having a severe heart attack.
"You should take a good rest. Your husband will also go back. I will ask someone to come tomorrow when the weather is warmer... Forget it. Let Madam Yao take Shu'er to the main courtyard."
Chu Chengyi wanted to say that he would send someone to pick up Chu Qinshu, but then he thought that his yard was full of old masters who would tremble even when holding a child. None of them could compare to Eunuch Lin.
"Hey, then go slower."
Yu Jinyi found it funny to see that Chu Chengyi was obviously not as energetic as when he first arrived, but she still maintained her usual gentle expression.
He even personally escorted him to the door of the inner room before stopping.
Oh, should I tell His Highness about Shu'er's preferences? If he knows, will he compete with my father for Shu'er?
Well, let him experience it himself.
He's a father of three children, you can't be unable to take care of your own daughter, right?
In the study, Emperor Yongping was closing his eyes and letting a palace maid rub his temples.
He didn't know why, but he felt a little tired when he woke up this morning.
The imperial physician came and took his pulse and said that he was a little tired. He also advised him not to sit at his desk all the time and to go out for a walk more often.
But how can he have time to go out for a walk?
If he wants to go out, he has to wait until the prince recovers from his injury and can share some of the government affairs with him, then he can find time.
"Your Majesty, I have brought the little princess here. She is sleeping soundly and is not frozen at all."
Lin Fu ran very fast carrying a large fox fur swaddling cloth, while two eunuchs followed behind him carrying Chu Qinshu's belongings and food.
Nanny Yao had also strengthened her legs through last night's walk around the palace. She was only one step behind Lin Fu throughout the entire journey, and that was because of her status and she had to do so.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, bring it to my arms. My arms are warm."
Emperor Yongping opened his eyes, and the palace maids stopped.
As soon as Chu Qinshu was in his arms, he no longer felt dizzy or tired, and all traces of fatigue disappeared.
"Oh, I still hold Shu'er to refresh myself. No tonic is as effective as my little granddaughter."
Emperor Yongping had people light a few more charcoal fires in Chu Qinshu's study. It was very warm inside, so he took the fox fur blanket off Chu Qinshu's swaddling clothes.
Then he held Chu Qinshu in one hand and reviewed memorials with the other.
If this happened in an ordinary family, wouldn't people say that the son and daughter-in-law are bullying the elderly?
After paying her respects, Aunt Yao quietly went to the corner where she usually stayed, put away Chu Qinshu's belongings, and then began to act as an invisible person.
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I will pass the message on to you."
The guards on duty outside the palace were forced to retreat step by step by the queen, but they did not dare to let her in no matter what.
I heard that the guards who were on duty in Yu's study last night were ordered by the emperor to be beaten with fifty sticks each, and they were also transferred to guard the city gate.
Early this morning, the emperor gave them a death order that no concubines from the harem were allowed into Yu's study.
Although the Empress is the queen, she is also the head of the concubines, so of course she should be counted.
But in the past, when the queen came to the study, unless the emperor was discussing matters with ministers, she was basically allowed in directly.
"When did this palace see the Emperor and need a message?"
The queen ignored the guards and walked inside with the food box in her hand without looking around.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor is busy with government affairs and it is inconvenient to disturb him. How about I take the food box in for you?"
When Lin Fu heard the empress's voice, he came out at the signal of Emperor Yongping.
In fact, he didn't know why his master didn't want to see the Queen, but he couldn't guess what his master said.
Just stop the person.
"You, my servant, it is not up to you to decide whether the emperor will see me or not."
The Queen refused to give in and insisted on entering Yu's study today.
The medicine is already one day late. If the emperor is not given it, he will notice something is wrong.
Suspecting her is a small matter, there is no evidence anyway.
The key point is that after stopping the medication, not only can the cause of the symptoms not be found, but even the imperial physician cannot cure it.
In half a year at most, the emperor will die.
But with half a year, it was too late for her.
Alas, if she had known this would happen, she should not have kept Chu Chengyi as a shield for Eighteen.
It’s also because Eighteen is too young, otherwise…
"Queen, do you remember what I told you yesterday? You are the role model for the harem, so please do not break the rules."
Emperor Yongping was afraid that the Empress would wake up Chu Qinshu in her arms, so he had to reprimand her.
"Your Majesty, how could I forget what you said? I am just worried about your health, so I specially stewed the bird's nest for you. I will leave after I bring it in, and I will never break the rules."
Emperor Yongping had spoken up, and the Empress did not dare to force her way in any further, so she had to soften her voice and try to persuade him.
But she was thinking in her heart that as long as she entered the door of Yu's study, Emperor Yongping would have to take the initiative to keep her if she wanted to leave.
Lin Fu was about to roll his eyes.
Since when did Fengming Palace only offer bird's nest as a supplement?
It was a bird's nest last night, and it is still a bird's nest today.
Acting requires props. You are using it to please the emperor, so can't you try something different?
