In the summer, my mother was willing to take me out for a walk in the evening to watch the fish and appreciate the flowers. Now that the weather is getting cooler and autumn is approaching, Yinzuo's only chance to go out has been deprived.
He could only stay in Yonghe Palace and play with his toys. Now his toys have filled up two wooden boxes.
Yinzuo lay flat on the couch, quietly picking at his two little hands, and began to daydream.
Rouwan, who was sewing pajamas for the child in winter, looked up and saw that he was not interested, so she asked him with a smile: "What's wrong? Xiaoliu thinks the toys are not fun anymore? Why is he playing with his fingers?"
"Aye aye%@" I want to go out and play.
"Fingers are more fun, right?" Rouwan guessed what her son meant.
Yinzuo sighed and thought, forget it, the adults couldn’t understand what he was saying, so no matter how much he said, it would be like talking to a deaf person.
"Sister Depin, I'm here to sit with you. I hope I don't disturb you."
The person who came was Wan Liuha. Ever since she met Depin by the pool last time and Depin comforted her once, the two of them became much closer. Later, she often went to Yonghe Palace for a short visit.
"How could that be? Come in quickly. I am sewing thicker pajamas for Xiaoliu. He is growing fast now, and I am worried that the clothes made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be uncomfortable to wear next to his body, so I have to prepare more for him in advance to feel at ease."
Wan Liuha smiled and sat on the side close to the Sixth Prince, reaching out to tease him.
"Sister is so lucky. First she had a fourth prince, and now she has a sixth prince. It would be great if I could have a son or a daughter too."
"Yes, you are still young."
Apart from this sentence, Rouwan didn't know what to say. There were simply too many women in the palace, but only a few of them could show their faces in front of the emperor, and even fewer were lucky enough to give birth. Even Concubine Xi, who was once extremely favored, now had no children.
"Well, let's not talk about this. It's all fate. Two new people came into the palace yesterday. Did you know, sister?" Wan Liuha revealed her carefree and gossipy nature in front of the familiar Concubine De.
Rouwan shook her head gently. She was taking care of Xiaoliu all day and seldom went out, so she received the news a little late.
"I don't have much to do on weekdays, so I like to sit in the Imperial Garden. Yesterday, I heard from the noble lady Dai Jia who lives in Chengqian Palace that the identities of these two new people are also extraordinary. One is the sister of the Empress Dowager, Hesheli, and the other is the sister of the Empress Dowager, Niuhulu. Little Hesheli was sent to the palace when she was only ten years old."
"Ten years old? She's really a little young." But Rouwan also knew that these women from aristocratic families represented the glory of their mother's family. The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager had passed away one after another, and it was only a matter of time before these two major families sent new people into the palace.
As they were talking, someone else came to Yonghe Palace.
"My lady, Wei agreed to come."
"Please come in." Rouwan put down the pajamas in her hand and looked towards the door.
Yinzuo, who was lying on the ground, looked up and saw a woman coming in. She was wearing an ordinary sky blue dress, but her beauty could not be concealed. Her beauty was truly so stunning that it could captivate all men, and there was absolutely no exaggeration there. He was stunned.
"Sister, you are pregnant now, why do you go out by yourself?" Wan Liuha immediately stepped forward and helped her to sit down.
The three of them entered the palace at the same time, so they knew each other better than the others, so they were closer to each other in private.
"The baby is almost six months old. It's okay. I was just bored staying in the house, so I thought of sitting with my sister and asking her for advice on things related to childbirth." Wei's voice was also very pleasant, as clear as knocking on a jade plate.
"You live in Zhongcui Palace now. Is Concubine Hui treating you well? She is your mistress and will prepare all the things for you. You don't need to worry about these things," Rouwan asked with concern.
"It's okay. Huipin may say some sour words in private, but she has always been virtuous in front of the emperor and has never treated me harshly. But I am still a little scared in my heart, so I want to ask you more questions."
"That's good. I'll tell you everything..." Rouwan told him all about her two childbirth experiences in detail.
"So that's how it is. I will definitely listen to the midwife and the imperial physician then." Wei felt relieved.
"I think your baby looks like a prince, with a pointed belly. Have you asked the imperial physician privately?" Wan Liuha asked curiously.
Wei nodded somewhat embarrassedly and said, "It would be great if the child I give birth to could be as cute as the Sixth Prince."
After the three women had chatted enough, they turned their attention to Yinzuo, the only little guy present.
Yinzuo thought: Isn't this the future enemy of his brother - the eighth prince Yinsi? Putting aside other things, Wei had such a stunning appearance, and the emperor's father was also quite handsome, it would be strange if the child born was not good-looking.
"By the way, I was so busy talking just now that I forgot to take out the snacks I brought for my sister." Wei nodded to the personal maid behind her.
The palace maid brought up the food box in her hand, took out two snacks from it, and placed them on the kang table.
Snacks! Yinzuo pulled at the table and sat up. His eyes were fixed on the plate. His mouth was wide open, revealing four small milk teeth as big as rice grains. His pink tongue kept sticking out, and the saliva in his mouth could not be controlled and flowed down to his chin.
"Look at this little greedy cat. The imperial physician said that his spleen and stomach are weak and he should eat more nourishing food, but he has a small appetite. In order to let him eat more things that are good for his body, I rarely give him these snacks on weekdays. Sisters, please don't misunderstand me. I didn't starve him on purpose."
Rouwan used a handkerchief to wipe the saliva of little Yinzuo while chatting and laughing with the two of them.
The two concubines laughed immediately. Even if Depin didn't explain, the Sixth Prince was Depin's biological son. How could she be so harsh on her own child?
"This snack was given by the Emperor. I thought my sister loves sweet food the most, so I picked two and brought them over. I didn't expect that my good intentions would lead to bad consequences."
"Aaaaaa~" I want to eat! Yinzuo hasn't tasted any food other than porridge for more than half a year. His mind is now filled with the plate of snacks. It smells so good, and the snacks on the plate look so round.
My mind is really confused.
He couldn't control his hand and started reaching towards the plate. As he got closer and closer to the delicious snacks, the smile on his face couldn't help but grow brighter. At the critical moment, the plate was moved away by his mother.
Little Yinzuo grabbed with his little hands, but only grabbed a handful of air.
He immediately leaned on the table, half-sitting and bouncing up and down to express his dissatisfaction.
Wan Liuha and Wei, who were watching from the sidelines, were so amused by him that they were shaking with laughter.
"Look, although Sixth Prince looks skinny and small, his arms and legs are quite strong! He can even bounce his body up while sitting, and the flesh on his buttocks has begun to tremble."
Wan Liuha even wanted to reach out and poke it. That piece of meat must be so elastic. It must be fun!
Just laugh if you want to. At this moment, Yinzuo only has eyes for the tempting snacks. Being laughed at for having a bite of delicious food is nothing. The most important thing is that he can successfully put the delicious food into his mouth.
There's no point in being arrogant, Rouwan supported her chin and smiled at him gently.
Yinzuo is not stupid. If the hard approach doesn’t work, then try the soft approach.
So he frowned, revealing a pitiful expression, with his pink little mouth pouting. He naturally knew what expression he made was the cutest, and he didn't believe that his mother could withstand it.
Wan Liuha and Wei, who were sitting nearby watching the show, gasped and immediately surrendered to the enemy.
"Look, sister, the Sixth Prince just wants to have a snack, just give it to him, he doesn't have to eat it every day."
Such an innocent and lovely child is acting coquettishly towards you with a wronged expression. He is just asking for a piece of dessert, which is not a big deal. If you don't agree to him, the guilt in your heart will become heavier and heavier.
"Yes, the emperor said that these snacks were carefully made by the imperial kitchen. Even a pregnant woman like my sister can eat them. I think it won't be a big deal to give Sixth Prince a piece."
Yinzuo nodded his head quickly and said, "Yes, yes!"
"Awoo~" Give me a piece~
Yinzuo knocked his little chin on the table and blinked his big eyes at his mother, trying to act cute on purpose.
Rouwan was not a heartless person, so she naturally softened her attitude.
"Then... you are only allowed to eat one piece." After saying this, he raised a finger very solemnly to remind the little guy in front of him.
"Hmm~" Little Yinzuo agreed immediately and put it in his mouth first.
Rouwan picked up a piece from the plate, scooped up the fallen snack crumbs from the bottom with a handkerchief, and fed it to Xiaoliu's mouth.
Yinzuo excitedly put his little head forward, and couldn't wait to bite off a small piece with his ear teeth. As for why it wasn't a big piece, he wanted to, but his mouth was small and his teeth were small, so he couldn't bite it off.
I can only nibble on it bit by bit like a little mouse.
The snack melted in his mouth, giving him the long-lost sweet taste. Yinzuo couldn't help but close his eyes and began to shake his head.
"Is it so delicious? Let me take a piece to try." Wan Liuha was tempted by the Sixth Prince's performance.
Yinzuo thought to himself: This is the charm of food broadcasting.
Even Wei, who hated sweets the most, picked up a piece and slowly bit it in his hand.
"I didn't think it was that special before, but today, after seeing how sweet the Sixth Prince tasted when he ate it, I took another bite of this snack and found it tasted a lot better."
Yinzuo became happier and happier as he ate. He grabbed his mother's hand that was feeding him with his two little hands and pushed it towards himself, as if he was afraid that his mother would take the snack away.
Rouwan said helplessly: "Forget it, forget it, just take it and eat it yourself, it's as if I'm going to snatch it from you."
The snack was stuffed into Yinzuo's hand. He held it tightly and moved it towards his mouth. Every time he took a bite, he grinned and smiled happily.
"Let me try it too." Rouwan loved sweet food and thought that Xiaoliu might have followed her lead.
There were only five pieces of dessert on the plate. Now that the four people had each eaten one piece, only the last piece was left. Yinzuo rolled his eyes and grabbed the last piece of dessert while his mother and the others were chatting.
Yinzuo took a bite on his left hand and then another bite on his right hand, enjoying the meal very much.
When his mother came to her senses, she was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"You bad guy, you secretly took another piece in your hand! You haven't even finished the piece I gave you. You're really eating what's in the bowl while still thinking about what's in the pot!"
Seeing this scene, Wan Liuha laughed so hard that her stomach hurt.
The same thing happened to Wei. She was covering her mouth with a handkerchief, enduring it with great difficulty, but her almond-shaped eyes were full of smiles.
"Xiao Liu is quite smart. He knows how to attack the enemy by surprise. Who knows, he will have great potential in the future."
"He's not stupid. Just for a snack, he's playing tricks on me, his mother. Who knows what will happen in the future. Just hope he doesn't grow up to be a scoundrel." Depin scolded with a smile.
"Children are bound to be greedy. When I was at home, my younger brother was much more troublesome than the Sixth Prince. He had to give him whatever he wanted, and he would cry and make a fuss if he was not given. The Sixth Prince would at least take the initiative to ask for your consent in advance, and he didn't cry or make a fuss, which was already very good."
They had been sitting here for nearly an hour. The Sixth Prince was playing quietly at first, but later when he wanted to eat, he just acted coquettishly towards Concubine De. He looked very well-behaved and lovable.
"Hurry, hurry, Lianxin, put away the remaining snacks. Don't let him eat them anymore. This clever guy makes no noise when he moves. I didn't notice anything just now."
Lianxin walked forward with a smile and took away another plate of snacks.
Although Yinzuo felt a little regretful, the two pieces in his hand were enough for him to eat for a while, so he didn't say anything and continued to lower his head and concentrate on eating.
Unfortunately, after gnawing for a long time, Yinzuo could only eat half a piece of the snack and could not eat any more. He looked at the snack in his hand, but was reluctant to put it down, because he knew that if he put it down, his mother would ask others to take it away, and he would not be able to eat it again if he wanted to. It would take him a long time to wait for the next time.
After a while, Wan Liuha and Wei stood up and asked for their leave.
After sending the two people off, Rouwan noticed that the little guy's eating speed had slowed down. After a quick thought, she knew what was going on.
She smiled and pinched little Yinzuo's chubby face. Although Xiaoliu's limbs looked thin, his face was round and cute, with chubby cheeks on both sides.
"Big eyes and a small stomach, this sentence is about you, how can mother harm you? The dessert is very sweet, you usually have a light taste and eat little, how can you eat so much? You even stole a piece while mother was talking to them, what can mother say about you?"
"Awoo eh eh ah~" I just want to eat~
I haven't eaten it for a long time, and my mouth feels tasteless. My mother has added nourishing herbs to all the foods that are good for the body. It would be strange if they tasted good!
"You're still being stubborn. Then eat them. Eat up these two big pieces in your hand. You can't sleep until you finish them." Rouwan deliberately scared him.
"Ahhh!" Just eat it!
Yinzuo puffed up his cheeks and his eyes were almost bursting with anger.
He picked up the snack and forced it into his mouth as if he was picking a fight with someone. His teeth, which were as small as rice grains, were of little use. He chewed on it for a long time, but only a tiny bit made it into his mouth.
Moreover, I ate too much sweets at once and felt greasy. The snacks that I thought were delicious just now could no longer be swallowed.
A man of insight is a wise man. Yinzuo suddenly felt that he was stupid. Why did the other party have to make things difficult for him? If he couldn't eat, he should just give in and say he didn't want to eat. He was not a stranger in front of his own mother, so there was no reason to be angry.
"Aa ...
Rouwan, who was still sewing pajamas, heard the sound and looked up at the little guy. She saw that the little guy was smiling cutely and obediently handed the unfinished snack to her.
Rouwan deliberately remained silent.
The little guy in front of him seemed a little anxious. He tilted his little head and uttered another soft questioning sound.
"Ambah~"
Rouwan's heart softened. She put down her needle and thread, moved her pajamas aside, took the embroidered handkerchief on her lapel and put it under her hand, and went to take the unfinished food from the little one.
"Put it up here."
Yinzuo obeyed obediently, put the snack in his hand on it, and then gave his mother a flattering smile.
"Lianxin, throw this away, and ask someone to bring a basin of warm water, slightly hotter, so that Sixth Prince can wash his hands."
"yes."
After Lianxin took the embroidered handkerchief away, Rouwan stood up and picked up the little guy, and just in time she had brought some water as well.
She personally carried the little guy to the side, tested the water temperature herself, wiped his mouth which was stained with snack crumbs with a wet towel, and then carefully washed the little guy's dirty and sticky hands.
"Look at what you eat. Not only are your hands covered with it, but your face and clothes are also covered with it. Just tell me, how many mouths do you have? One here and one there." As she spoke, Rouwan reached out her hand to touch the little guy's skin.
Yinzuo was very ticklish and giggled as he dodged his mother's fingers.
"Are you ticklish? I want to touch you to let you know that what you did today is wrong, and to teach you a lesson. If you do this again because of greed, I will tickle you again."
When his mother carried him to the couch and sat him down, Yinzuo sensed the approaching danger. However, he had not yet learned how to crawl, and he did not know how to use the strength of his hands and feet, so he could not run away even if he wanted to.
"Hehehe~" Mom, I was wrong~ Please don't tickle me anymore!
Yinzuo could only lie there and be bullied by his mother. His little face was red on both sides when he smiled, like a peach.
Seeing that the fun was almost over, Rouwan stopped and began to knead the little guy's pink and tender face. When she poked the flesh, there was a small dimple, and when she let go, the flesh bounced back immediately. It was really fun.
Yinzuo became his mother's toy to pass the time, but he couldn't break free and finally fell asleep in a huff.
