As the night deepened, the soft moonlight spread across the earth like a layer of frost.
"Zhiqiu, I feel a little dizzy."
Seeing that Concubine Zhao's face was flushed, Zhiqiu touched her forehead and said, "Oh! You have a fever. You must have caught a cold on the way to and from the cold palace. I will ask Concubine Shu to find an imperial physician for you!"
Zhao Cairen pulled her and bit her lower lip: "I have to breastfeed my sweet baby. I can't take medicine even if I call the imperial physician. I'd better drink more hot water and add a blanket to cover my body from sweating."
Zhiqiu felt a lump in her throat, and was just about to say that they didn't have any extra quilts to add, when she turned around and found that among the things sent by the Queen were two new quilts and a basket of silver charcoal.
She lit a few pieces of silver charcoal, and the cold room quickly warmed up. She also added a new quilt for Zhao Cairen.
Seeing that the queen had sent bird's nest, ginseng and other warm tonic foods, she went to make a bowl of bird's nest soup.
Zhao Cairen was drowsy, her body feeling cold and hot at times.
Zhiqiu was busy taking care of her all by herself: "The little princess is a sweet and caring person. She must be reluctant to let the talented person suffer, so she cried her back from the cold palace. The talented person must get better soon."
Thinking of her daughter, Zhao Cairen, who had no appetite, forced herself to drink the remaining half bowl of bird's nest soup.
The moon was at its highest point when Lu Xia, a maid in the main hall, knocked on the door of the side hall. "The little princess is hungry. Please get up quickly. The imperial concubine said that you should sleep on a bed in the main hall from now on so that you don't have to run back and forth."
Zhiqiu retorted unconvincedly: "Talented man is also a master, how can he..."
Zhao Cairen grabbed Zhiqiu's sleeve and told her not to continue.
She smiled weakly at Lu Xia: "Okay, I'll follow the arrangements of the Concubine Sister."
Zhiqiu angrily wrapped Zhao Cairen in layers of clothes. Luxia glared at her impatiently: "It's not even winter yet, why are you wrapping yourself up so much? You're so pretentious."
Zhiqiu was furious: "Talented Lady also gave birth today. She should have been resting peacefully after the confinement period, but she caught a cold from all the tossing and turning. What's wrong with wearing a few more layers?"
Lu Xia's expression changed slightly, and she urged them to return to the main hall.
Concubine Shu glanced at Concubine Zhao with displeasure. "Why dawdle? The children have been crying for quite some time. I understand that you are a new mother and will surely be thinking about your children. When there are no outsiders around, you should feed your Ninth Prince first, and then feed the little princess after he is full."
Zhao Cairen: “…”
She simply doesn't have enough to feed two children. Wouldn't the little sweet baby often not have enough to eat?
Seeing that she remained silent, Concubine Shu sneered, "What? Are you dissatisfied?"
Consort Zhao, who was used to being timid, mustered up the courage to shake her head and said, "Let's feed the little princess first. After all, the little princess is more delicate than the little prince."
Concubine Shu was filled with anger and her face soon turned red.
Is she saying something with a hidden meaning, or is she being sarcastic?
Oh!
No matter how precious the princess is, can she inherit the throne?
Concubine Shu snorted coldly: "Are you being shameless? I told you to feed the Ninth Prince first, and you just did it. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Seeing that Concubine Zhao was really going to hug the Ninth Prince, Lu Xia hurried forward and whispered a few words to Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu glared at her: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Lu Xia opened and closed her mouth, not daring to argue. Didn't she fail to get a word in just now?
When Concubine Shu saw that Concubine Zhao had already taken the Ninth Prince away, she hurriedly asked Yan Chun to take the child back, because she couldn't let Concubine Zhao feed the disease to her little Nine.
She cleared her throat and said seriously, "I think what you said just now is right. The little princess is our national treasure of Nanqiao Country. We can't let her starve. You should feed the little princess first."
Zhao Cairen glanced at Luxia, seemed to understand something, suppressed the joy in her heart and hugged her daughter in her arms.
The little sweet baby who was crying because of hunger stopped crying as soon as he was in Zhao Cairen's arms.
My mother smells so good!
She couldn't wait to suck it, and the sound of swallowing was extremely satisfying.
She heard it when she was crying with Xiaojiu just now. Concubine Shu said that she would let Xiaojiu eat her fill before letting her eat the leftovers.
Woo woo woo, it feels so uncomfortable to be hungry!
She had never had a full meal in her previous life, so she was planning to eat up her share in this life!
The little princess's round little head moved little by little with the sucking movement, her eyes closed in enjoyment, her eyebrows curved like crescent moons, and her little face turned red from the strong sucking.
The beautiful and harmless pictures can unconsciously draw out the softest part of people's hearts.
Zhao Cairen's heart melted when she saw this, and she murmured softly, "Drink slowly, sweetheart, don't choke. No one will snatch it from you tonight."
Zhao Cairen has helped her mother take care of her younger siblings since she was a child. Her mother said that babies are less likely to get sick in the first six months after birth. A mother's milk is the most nutritious, and a minor cold will not affect its quality at all.
After hearing this, the little sweet baby slowed down his pace.
Zhao Cairen looked up in surprise, wanting to share with others how smart her little sweet baby was.
As a result, when she turned her head, she met the vigilant gaze of Concubine Shu. She quickly put away the corners of her mouth that had just turned up, and suppressed the thought of wanting to share deep in her heart.
She stared down at the pink little face and smiled secretly in her heart.
Her little sweet baby is really cute, smart and beautiful!
Imperial Concubine Shu had been observing Concubine Zhao's every move, and she always felt that Concubine Zhao seemed to have known the truth. But it didn't matter, she was now Imperial Concubine Shu, and she would find a way to send Concubine Zhao back to the cold palace as soon as she lost her usefulness.
People who enter the cold palace have their lives worthless, and then... hehe.
The little princess drank milk for a cup of tea, and the ninth prince cried for a cup of tea.
The wet nurses were unable to get the Ninth Prince to eat.
Seeing that the little princess was burping from eating but not feeling any discomfort, Concubine Shu thought for a moment and said, "Let her feed Xiaojiu."
The little sweet baby waved his short arms, not wanting to leave his mother's arms.
However, Yan Chun mercilessly carried her away, and the Ninth Prince was stuffed into Zhao Cairen's arms.
Concubine Shu hadn't held the little princess yet today. Seeing that her son was the mother of her own milk, she waved to Yan Chun in frustration, "Let me hold the little princess."
The little sweet boy opened his big black eyes and punched and kicked Concubine Shu.
However, the little kid's limbs were out of control, and everyone saw him dancing and gesticulating, trying to get close to Concubine Shu.
The warm little hands touched Concubine Shu's face, like tickling, and the tickling melted away the alienation in Concubine Shu's face.
She grinned and said to the maid beside her: "Look, the little princess likes me."
Zhao Cairen felt a little depressed when she heard this. She took a quick glance and quickly lowered her head. Her heart ached as if it were being pricked by a needle.
Little Sweetie glared at Concubine Shu: "Aiya...Aiya..."
You big bad guy, you took me away from my mother!
What Concubine Shu saw was the little princess blinking her big, sparkling eyes and talking to her: "Look, she's talking to me!"
"Yiyi...Ahhh..." Xiaojiu is so pitiful, having to have such a bad-hearted mother like you!
Concubine Shu smiled: "Oh oh oh, you said my lip balm looks good? You look good too!" But compared with my Xiaojiu, it's still a long way behind.
"Aiya...ah..." You are ugly! My mother is the most beautiful!
Concubine Shu laughed even more heartily and continued to tease the child: "Oh? Oh! My golden hairpin is also beautiful? Of course, it was just given to me by the Emperor today."
Forget it, I will definitely report you to my father tomorrow!
The little sweet baby's eyelids drooped, and he fell into a deep sleep in the blink of an eye.
Concubine Shu, who hadn't finished chatting yet, said: "..."
