"Your Majesty, the little princess's meal has arrived."
Sanhezi stood respectfully, holding a bowl of goat's milk.
"Put it on the table"
"yes"
He stared at the goat's milk for a long time, unable to figure out why he had carried the little one back to his bedchamber. After thinking about it for a long time without success, he could only give up.
"Your Majesty, if you don't feed the little princess some goat's milk soon, it will get cold."
Upon hearing this, Qin Jue glared at him with a sharp look.
"Do you think I don't know? Do you need to tell me?"
Sanhezi trembled
"It was this servant who spoke out of turn; this servant will slap him right now."
Sanhezi slapped herself in the face and then saw our beautiful tyrant, holding the little princess in his arms, a soup spoon in one hand, his brow furrowed, staring at the little princess's face.
"Your Majesty, please place the spoon near the little princess's lips and slowly let the goat's milk flow into her mouth."
"Don't I know how? You'll teach me how to use it?"
"I was just wondering who brought such a big spoon. It's bigger than this girl's mouth. Couldn't they have made a smaller spoon for the princess?" He then glanced at Sanhezi.
Sanhezi was inwardly crying out in injustice, but dared not show it on his face.
"It's unnecessary for this servant to do this. This servant will immediately have someone make a spoon suitable for the little princess."
"Then why aren't you going yet? Do you want to get a beating?"
"This servant will go right away!" Sanhezi immediately ran out.
Alas, poor me! Serving His Majesty, I constantly worry about losing my head. Two years ago, that eunuch Liu was a favorite of the Emperor, but he offended him and was beheaded.
I immediately touched my neck with my hand, and there it was—my head was still there. Sigh, it was so difficult.
After Sanhezi left, the tyrant, following Sanhezi's instructions, began to breastfeed the baby.
After finishing the spoonful, she smacked her lips and made little "ee-yah" sounds, looking at the beautiful tyrant as if to say, "I want more."
I scooped up another spoonful of goat milk and held it to the little one's lips, but being playful, I didn't let the little one drink it. Then I took the spoon away and put it in the bowl, and the little one immediately started crying.
After the baby started crying, I panicked and scooped up another spoonful of goat milk and put it to the baby's mouth. This time, the baby stopped crying.
Intrigued, I removed the spoon of goat milk from the baby's mouth again, and the baby started crying even harder than before. I put the spoon back to the baby's mouth, and the crying stopped. This time, I didn't tease the baby anymore, but slowly lifted the spoon so the baby could drink the goat milk.
The little one giggled contentedly after drinking the goat's milk.
"You little rascal, you're practically a genius!"
Futang Palace
"Chunhe, have you prepared the Empress's meal? Your mistress will need some food when she wakes up later, otherwise her body won't be able to handle it."
Looking at Xiao Liyan lying on the bed, her face pale, Xiao Liyun frowned deeply.
"Willow Branch, bring water!" Xiao Liyun beckoned to Willow Branch.
"Your Majesty, it's warm," Liu Si said, bringing the water over.
Xiao Liyun took the water, dipped her finger in it, and applied it to Ah Yan's lips. Then she handed the bowl to Liu Si and used her hand to tuck the hair from Xiao Liyan's face behind her ear.
"Liyun, what are you doing here? Where is my child? Where is my child?"
When Xiao Liyan woke up, she saw me sitting by the bed. She then looked for her child but couldn't find him, and she panicked.
"Liyun, where is my child? My child has disappeared!"
Xiao Liyun took Xiao Liyan's hand
"Ayan, Ayan, the baby's here, the baby's here. Calm down and listen to me."
"Liyun, where is my child? I can't see him."
"Ayan, you have given birth to a daughter, who is fair-skinned and exquisitely beautiful. The child is with His Majesty now, His Majesty..."
Before Xiao Liyun could finish speaking, Xiao Liyan interrupted her in her haste.
"How could the child be with His Majesty? No, I must go find His Majesty immediately! His Majesty dislikes children. What if His Majesty takes my daughter away... what if..."
As she spoke, she pulled back the covers and was about to get out of bed.
"Waaaaah... I need to find my child."
She could only quickly hold down the person who was about to get out of bed and immediately said, "Ayan, don't worry, the child is fine. His Majesty loves the little princess very much. He named her 'Qin Ruoxi' and bestowed upon her the title 'Leyang,' making her a first-rank princess."
"Really? But I'm still worried."
Looking at the person in front of him, he was happy for a moment, then his face fell again, and he hesitated for a moment.
"I'll go and have Liu Si bring the little princess over."
"What time is it now?"
"Three quarters past the hour of Xu"
It's past 7:45 PM. His Majesty would usually be resting by now. If Liyun were to go to His Majesty to hold Xi'er because of me, she would probably be punished, especially since she is six months pregnant.
"I'll see tomorrow, Liyun. You can rest in my side hall tonight."
Ah Yan is saying this now because she's afraid I'll be punished by His Majesty. If that's the case...
"Okay, Ayan, I'll go to the side hall to see if I need anything else."
Okay, go ahead.
"Chunhe, Xiaju, you two take good care of your mistress."
"Yes, ma'am!" the two replied in unison.
Hall of Mental Cultivation
"Your Majesty, Consort Li requests an audience."
Sanhezi stepped forward, bowing low, and said, "At this time usually, my master would already be in bed. Today, because the little princess just woke up and was playing with His Majesty, His Majesty is still awake. This is quite unusual. Normally, who would dare to do this? They'd be punished! It seems I'll have to show the little princess even more respect in the future."
"Why is she coming here to see me instead of staying in her own Cherry Blossom Garden? I won't see her."
Qin Jue was extremely annoyed when Sanhezi reported that Consort Li was requesting an audience. He was already fed up with this unruly little brat, and now she dared to come and add to the chaos. Had he been too kind to her all this time? Now she dared to bother him!
