【It's all your fault for not informing me sooner! Look at all these people already!】
Yun Duoduo finally understood that among this group of beautiful women, Consort Chen had the highest status and rank.
Did they all come here now because they just heard that the Empress was coming to teach her how to speak, and so they all rushed over?
[As expected, the women in the harem are all very perceptive. Their information network is incredibly efficient; in less than an hour, all the concubines in Fu Shuang Palace knew what had happened.]
[It seems they have spies inside or near Fu Shuang Palace, otherwise they wouldn't know such details.]
[When she grows up a bit more, we must remove all these thorns, so that only those loyal to her will remain in Fu Shuang Palace.]
"Little princess, look what your mother brought you!"
Consort Chen took out an exquisite jade butterfly pendant and waved it in front of Yun Duoduo.
Wow, what a beautiful jade pendant!
"Duoduo, if you learn all the things your mother taught you today, your mother will give you this white jade butterfly pendant, how about it?!"
[Wow, Consort Chen, you're really something! You've even incorporated encouragement into your teaching!]
"If you became a teacher, your students might all get into top universities, it would be a sure thing."
“Come, little princess, repeat after your mother.”
"Mother Consort." Consort Chen taught with a serious expression.
"Mufei..."
Consort Chen rolled her eyes inwardly, thinking, "How can this child be so stupid and dull-witted?!"
[He looks just like a silly goose.]
Back in the day, even her son, Zhong'er, didn't have this much trouble learning to speak.
Yun Duoduo glared at Consort Chen, stretched out her little hand, and slapped it across the face with a loud "smack!" 【Who are you calling stupid?! Who are you calling a goose?】
That's incredibly rude.
Consort Chen was shocked by her sudden action. She was stunned for a long time, looking at Yun Duoduo, not knowing what to say.
[This little brat, she just hit me?!]
"Oh dear, Consort Chen, why don't you let me try?" One of the concubines was so happy to see Consort Chen losing face in front of the little princess that her lips almost stretched to her ears.
"Noble Lady Wan, I haven't finished teaching you yet!" Consort Chen said calmly, tucking Yun Duoduo's little hand back under the covers.
...
After several rounds, Yun Duoduo was exhausted.
We'll learn the rest tomorrow!
Her mouth was dry, she couldn't study anymore, she couldn't study anymore. She had been on standby for too long, and if this continued, she would crash.
Seeing that Yun Duoduo's eyelids were drooping, Ah Xiang walked up to the ladies and said, "Your Majesty, it is getting late outside. This servant will prepare to serve the little princess her dinner. Thank you all for today."
Just then, Granny Liu led several other maids in, carrying the meal.
"Oh dear, I am indeed quite tired, so I'll head back now!"
"Respectfully seeing off Consort Chen."
"Respectfully seeing off Consort Rong."
"Respectfully seeing off Consort Wan."
...
Spring has passed and summer has arrived, and the weather is gradually getting hotter.
The stoves and braziers inside Fushuang Palace have been removed, and several large water vats and some wooden buckets filled with ice have been placed in the corners of the sleeping quarters and in the open space in the center of the sleeping quarters.
It's so hot!
Yun Duoduo wiped the sweat from her forehead. If this were modern times, she could turn on the air conditioner with the touch of a button and feel comfortable immediately. But now, having ice is a luxury.
For two months in a row, Empress Zhaoyuan came to teach Yun Duoduo to speak almost every day.
Yun Duoduo is conscious, but her teeth haven't fully grown in and she has a slight lisp, and her tongue isn't very sensitive, so speaking is quite difficult for her. However, she has been working hard to train her tongue these days, and now she can clearly pronounce single words.
Unlike Yun Duoduo, Jin Zhuangzhuang is very obedient. She drinks breast milk when given it and falls asleep quietly without much coaxing, without crying or fussing.
But Yun Duoduo is different. She has a lot on her mind every day. At night, she wakes up after only a short while, blinks her eyes and stares at the ceiling for a while, and then applies medicine to Aunt Xiang's face.
The burn scars on Aunt Xiang's face are fading at a visible rate. Rumors are circulating in the palace that Prince Ning, Yun Beiming, is a dashing and talented physician, and he has gained many admirers both inside and outside the palace.
Her brothers would also come over every few days to coax her to sleep, read her stories, and make her happy.
She suddenly felt very happy living like this. Although there were many things she couldn't control, the fact that so many people loved her made her feel hopeful for the future.
...
It was so hot at noon that Yun Duoduo drank a lot of water, which caused her urine output to increase dramatically.
She suddenly felt something icy cold under her buttocks.
Oh no, she peed again.
Granny Liu noticed the change in Yun Duoduo's expression and seemed to smell something unpleasant, so she went to Yun Duoduo's side to check on her.
"Oh dear, the little princess has wet herself. Third brother, quickly go and get some clean diapers and clean clothes!" Granny Liu instructed, and several wet nurses went to get clean clothes and diapers to change her.
No, do I have to change the diaper again?
【Emma, do I have to take my clothes off again?!】
She turned her head and glanced around, her gaze sweeping across the entire bedchamber.
Jin Jinzhi is still here...
[Young guard, could you please step aside for a moment?]
Changing diapers is a huge disgrace, being naked in front of others!
How embarrassing!
No! She's a girl! Jin Jinzhi is right here! She doesn't want boys to see her!
How am I supposed to face people after this? How am I supposed to explain this to my future husband? Weren't people in ancient times supposed to be very reserved?
Yun Duoduo opened her mouth wide and frantically tried to wink at Granny Liu.
"Table, table!"
She didn't want to take her clothes off like this, waaaaah!
"don't want!"
"Don't take your clothes off!"
She... she can actually talk?!
Yun Duoduo blurted out anxiously, and sure enough, quantitative change led to qualitative change, and her previous efforts were not in vain.
She was both surprised and delighted, and repeated what she had just said.
Yes, she really can speak in complete sentences now.
Today's events made her so nervous that she exerted all her strength, and finally managed to speak clearly.
Granny Liu's hand holding the diaper froze in mid-air. The other nannies stared at each other, dumbfounded.
Ah Xiang opened her mouth, "Did the little princess just say not to take off her clothes?"
Granny Liu nodded.
Ah Xiang glanced around the bedchamber and noticed Jin Jinzhi. Although they were separated by a screen, the little princess was already conscious and must be feeling uncomfortable.
