The head eunuch covered his mouth and chuckled. In this dynasty, besides Princess Yuening, only the little dumpling dared to touch the emperor's crown.
No wonder she is Princess Yuening's little darling.
Their temperaments and personalities are so similar!
The little girl played with the dragon ball, which was as big as her palm, and asked, "Did Uncle really give me the ball?"
The emperor smiled gently.
"As long as the little dumpling is happy, Uncle will give you anything."
The civil and military officials were immediately terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.
Give her everything? What if Miss Mu asks for the throne?
The little boy grinned and held up the dragon pearl to the emperor's face, saying, "The pearl is bigger than Uncle's eyes!"
Su Ruiling kept looking at the little dumpling, feeling that every move she made was adorable.
Seeing her wearing the dress he had given her filled him with even more satisfaction.
"Little dumpling looks so pretty in this dress. It was worth all the time your aunt spent choosing it for you."
The little dumpling heard a gentle voice and looked over curiously.
Then I saw a beautiful woman with smiling eyes. She was dressed in rich and bright clothes, but she didn't have any sharpness. Instead, she exuded a friendly aura.
"Are you Aunt Su Ruiling?" the little dumpling asked.
Su Ruiling was taken aback. "You know my name?"
The little dumpling nodded.
“My mother told me.”
“But Mother has amnesia and doesn’t remember anything from before. She only remembers that she had a very good friend named Su Ruiling, but she can’t remember anything else.”
After the little dumpling finished speaking, Su Ruiling was already in tears.
Even her best friend, who had amnesia, could still remember her name!
Su Ruiling took a deep breath and turned to wipe away her tears with a handkerchief.
The chief eunuch spoke up to remind the emperor.
"Your Majesty, it's windy at the palace gate. Why don't we let everyone go in first?"
Mu Ting stepped forward and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, please go first. I will carry my daughter."
The emperor was unwilling to let go of the little darling in his arms, and he said as he walked:
"Brother Mu, don't worry, I'll hold you."
Mu Tingzheng could only shake his hand helplessly and follow behind the emperor.
The little girl was carried into the palace gate in the arms of her emperor uncle, with Su Ruiling holding one of her little hands.
With some time to spare before the banquet, Su Ruiling led the little dumpling and the concubines and officials to the Duande Hall.
The emperor and the other men went to the royal hunting grounds to practice their skills.
The little dumpling was seeing the Queen's palace for the first time, and was filled with curiosity, looking left and right.
The little one ran happily in the Duande Hall, the ribbons and tassels on his head fluttering in the wind. The little person was as beautiful and free as a butterfly in a flower garden.
Qiuqiu was also brought over by the little dumpling. He had a golden bone necklace around his neck, and he stuck out his little tongue as he followed the little dumpling, hopping and skipping along on his four legs.
Behind the man and his dog followed the Empress and a group of palace maids and nannies.
Su Ruiling had not had any children for so many years, but now she has a precious niece, whom she cherishes like her own daughter.
She followed behind the little girl, reaching out to protect her, afraid that she might bump into something or fall.
Granny Chang was panting heavily from exhaustion. This little brat was the first to dare to run wild in the Empress's bedroom.
Granny Chang was worried about both the little dumpling falling and the Empress getting hurt.
The group was busy following behind the little girl and didn't notice a fierce gaze fixed on them.
Consort Xin straightened her back, placed her hands on her round belly, and stared intently at the little dumpling.
Now!
Consort Xin suddenly strode forward, arriving right in front of the running little dumpling.
The little dumpling was about to go see the jade vase when a roadblock suddenly appeared on its way.
She gasped in surprise, her mouth forming an "o" shape.
"Woof!" Qiuqiu barked loudly at Consort Xin.
The little dumpling finally came to its senses, but it was too late to stop now.
With no other option, the little dumpling gritted its teeth, jumped to the side, and rolled on the ground.
"Little dumpling!" Su Ruiling screamed when she saw the little dumpling fall to the ground and ran over without hesitation.
Granny Chang exclaimed inwardly: "My God!"
They hurriedly and clumsily went to protect her.
Su Ruiling pulled the little dumpling up from the ground and turned her around to check her body.
"Good boy, are you hurt?"
The little girl shook her head; she was fine, just a little sore in her arm.
"Aunt, I'm fine."
After saying that, the little dumpling looked at the obstacle blocking the way and asked:
"Who are you? How did you suddenly appear out of nowhere?"
"If I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have bumped into you."
Consort Xin originally intended to bump into the little dumpling, preferably injuring her stomach directly.
But the little guy was surprisingly agile and jumped aside to avoid it.
Consort Xin was stunned on the spot, and only came back to her senses after hearing the little dumpling's words.
"Ah, I, I...?" Consort Xin couldn't think of the right words and was speechless for a moment.
Granny Chang glared at Consort Xin and said irritably:
"Consort Xin, you are pregnant, why are you here instead of listening to Her Majesty the Empress and resting properly!"
"Consort Xin, I have already said that you do not need to attend today's banquet!"
Su Ruiling also gave Consort Xin a cold shoulder.
If it weren't for her, the little dumpling wouldn't have fallen!
"Your Majesty, how could you say that?" Consort Xin showed no fear and instead moved closer to the little dumpling.
"Today's banquet is specially held for Princess Yuening's daughter, so of course I have to come."
After saying this, Consort Xin reached for a fruit and coaxed the little dumpling:
"Young Miss Mu, come quickly to Consort Xin's place, I have some delicious fruit here."
Consort Xin smiled ingratiatingly.
She had also heard about what happened in front of the palace gate.
The emperor let the little guy play with all the dragon pearls on his crown; it seems he truly dotes on him.
Even if she hadn't bumped into her stomach just now, it wouldn't matter. As long as she wins over this little one, what's there to worry about in the future?
They're just kids; they'll fall for it if you coax them!
Consort Xin's eyes concealed a confident cunning.
The little dumpling glanced at Consort Xin a few times.
Although Consort Xin was not as beautiful as Su Ruiling, she was still quite attractive.
But her makeup was too heavy today. She had thick layers of powder on her face, a large eyeliner around her eyes, and bright red lips, which looked very unpleasant.
The little dumpling retreated to Su Ruiling's side and said without any politeness:
"I don't want to, Consort Xin is so ugly and scary."
As soon as the little dumpling said this, the officials and their wives in the palace immediately covered their mouths and laughed.
Consort Xin's smile froze on her face.
So ugly! So scary!
That brat, how dare she say that to her!
Consort Xin slammed the fruit in her hand to the ground.
"What nonsense are you spouting? Our Lady is of noble birth and as beautiful as a fairy. How dare you, a mere maid, slander her?" Consort Xin's maidservant stepped forward to speak when she saw her mistress being insulted.
Little brat!
Su Ruiling's expression immediately turned displeased.
Granny Chang slapped the maid who spoke hard across the face.
"How dare you! Do you have the right to speak in front of Her Majesty the Empress? Miss Mu is the daughter of the Great General Who Protects the Nation. How dare you be so rude! Guards, drag her away!"
