Chapter 4 Did Mother Come to See Tang Bao Secretly?
Prince Qing's Mansion.
Zhao, who couldn't sleep at night, decided to go see her precious daughter.
She simply put on a coat and quietly pushed open the door of Princess Yan Yao's room when the little kid on the couch jumped down to the floor with a "squeak" and ran out without even putting on shoes, shouting, "Father? Is it Father who has arrived?"
She walked around the screen and saw that the person who came in was not the one she expected. She pouted and did not hide the disappointment on her face.
"Why not Father?"
"Mother, didn't you say that as long as Yao'er went to school, father would come to see Yao'er? But Yao'er can even read the Thousand Character Classic, why hasn't father come yet?"
"The last time Yao'er saw Father was during the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet... Mother, does Father dislike Yao'er?"
The little girl pouted and felt more and more aggrieved.
Zhao also felt aggrieved. Although she was born out of wedlock, she was still the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion!
Besides, who in this world doesn’t know that she gave birth to a little princess for Prince Qing Yun Che?
But after so many years, His Royal Highness Prince Qing not only avoided her like the plague, but also refused to give her even the title of concubine...
He has such a hard heart!
A hint of resentment flashed in Zhao's eyes, and she sighed silently in her heart.
Facing the child's tearful eyes, she suppressed her emotions, walked forward and hugged her.
"Good boy, you are so smart and beautiful, how could your father not like you?"
"Your father is in charge of half of the troops in Xijing City. He is really too busy, so he has no time to come and see you."
"My dear Yao'er, you are your father's only flesh and blood. From now on, everything in the Prince Qing's Mansion will belong to our Yao'er!" Zhao pinched her daughter's nose lovingly.
Because of his father, he couldn't force her to leave! As long as she bit Yao'er to death, she would be his, King Qing's child. There was always hope!
"..." Yun Yanyao pursed her lips, half believing and half doubting, "Really? But Yao'er heard from Madam Liu that it's because Yao'er doesn't look like father, but only like mother, that father doesn't want to see Yao'er."
"She's talking nonsense!" A hint of viciousness flashed in Zhao's eyes.
She looked at her daughter seriously and said, "In this world, only mother will not lie to Yao'er. Yao'er can only trust mother, understand?"
"So, Yao'er, you must not only be sensible and well-behaved, but also study hard. Only then will your father like you more."
"Who knows? Once you can memorize the Thousand Character Classic, your father will personally test you on your studies!"
Yun Yanyao was just a little kid who was only three years old. When she heard her mother say that, she immediately stopped being angry and started to make a fuss while pointing at the bed.
…
After finally coaxing the child to sleep, Zhao left the house and immediately ordered her confidant to tie up the talkative Madam Liu.
Just as she had pulled out the old woman's tongue, she heard that Prince Qing had brought back a little girl who was about the same age as her, Yao'er.
Zhao was so angry that she smashed all the porcelain in the house to pieces.
"Damn it, isn't he not interested in women? How could he have an illegitimate daughter outside?!"
He also brought that wild child back? What about her Yao'er?
His Royal Highness Prince Qing can only belong to her, Zhao Yanran! This Prince Qing Mansion can only belong to her and her daughter!
Zhao was so anxious that she paced back and forth in the room without even noticing that broken porcelain pieces had pierced the soles of her shoes.
She wanted to go out and see what kind of character that bastard had, and what the prince's attitude was towards that wild child...
However, as early as when she came to Prince Qing's Mansion with her pregnant belly, Prince Qing had issued an order that she could stay in the mansion, but she was not allowed to go near the front yard, let alone interfere in the affairs of the mansion.
What should I do? !
Zhao's eyes were bloodshot, and she walked back and forth faster and faster, biting her fists, trying her best to control herself from making any more noise.
Seeing her panic, the nanny beside her said slowly, "Miss, I remember that you were afraid of the cold when you were a child, so I lit an extra charcoal brazier in the room. I didn't know that both master and servant almost didn't survive until dawn."
“…” Zhao’s eyes lit up when she heard that.
Yes, it’s freezing cold, and children are most afraid of the cold!
Even if she was accidentally discovered, it was out of her good intentions...
She couldn't get involved in the affairs of the harem, but money made the world go round...
Zhao turned abruptly, grasped the nanny's wrist tightly, and glared at her with a frightening glare. "Send fifty taels of silver to the steward immediately. No, send a hundred taels. Tell him to make sure that bastard gets a small room and a few more charcoal stoves in her room."
…
At the same time, in the front yard of Prince Qing's mansion, little Tangbao had just watched Prince Qing enter the room when he was picked up by a fat nanny.
The nanny was very strong, but she didn't seem to know how to hold the baby. The little guy was in pain from her strangulation, but he was sensible and didn't cry or make a fuss, but just endured it silently.
"My surname is Zhang. Your Highness is busy, so I will be responsible for taking care of the young lady from now on."
Aunt Zhang spoke respectfully and looked gentle, but she didn't take Xiao Tangbao seriously.
Even if she looks like the prince, what does it matter? Not to mention that the prince has always been cold and distant to Princess Yan Yao who was born and raised in the prince's palace.
She had found out clearly that the mother of this little bastard was not only a female doctor with no background, but was also drowned by the husband's wife today for seducing him.
What good could a daughter born from a slutty bitch be? This child would only bring shame to their prince!
In her opinion, no matter how much the prince hates the Zhao family, everything in the Prince Qing's Mansion will sooner or later be handed over to Princess Yan Yao. After all, Princess Yan Yao has the Zhao family behind her.
The indentures of her son and daughter are in Prince Qing's Mansion, so she has to keep her eyes open and stand in line!
Nanny Zhang made up her mind, and she deliberately tightened her arms around little Tangbao, then went to the backyard as instructed.
Soon, little Tangbao was settled in a remote courtyard. Although the bedroom was small, at least the windows were good and there was no draft.
After the nanny helped her make the bed, she ordered someone to bring a bucket of hot water, saying that she would help her take a bath, but Tang Bao refused.
Her head hurts, her body aches... She is so tired, she wants to sleep.
The little one politely said that she wanted to take a nap first.
Nanny Zhang thought to herself, no wonder she didn't let her go on her journey cleanly. She curled her lips and left the room without looking back.
Soon little Tangbao fell asleep in a daze.
But……
She was already asleep, so why did she always hear the door opening?
Did the prince find my mother? Did my mother secretly come to see Tang Bao?!
The little girl tried hard to open her eyes a little, and was surprised to see the fat woman sticking her butt up to help her light the brazier.
One basin, two basins... Wow, the fat grandma actually lit four big braziers for Tang Bao!
No wonder it's so warm...
The little girl was so happy that she was about to say thank you when she suddenly remembered the days when she was freezing in the Shen Mansion.
At that time, she told her uncle that she was very cold and wanted a small brazier, but her uncle said that charcoal was expensive and she didn't deserve it...
This fat old lady pinched Tang Bao several times along the way. She is not a good person... How could she suddenly be so nice to Tang Bao?
Something is wrong...
