Chapter 123: A Bao Determines Fate
A Bao is as slippery as a loach.
Zhilan was stunned and failed to hold him back.
A Bao climbed over the railing and stood in front of Di Rongjing.
The six-year-old Di Rongjing was much taller than A Bao. He lowered his eyes and stared at the little girl who suddenly appeared in front of him.
Zhilan pulled A Bao over, "Little Princess, you..."
She didn't know how to explain. When she saw the Ninth Prince, she quickly saluted him.
Zhilan was flustered and wanted to take A Bao away.
A Bao refused to leave.
Why didn't the Ninth Prince say anything?
The nanny was also panicked and quickly protected the Ninth Prince, "Greetings to the Tenth Princess, Little Prince, let's go back."
A Bao looked puzzled. She felt that the Ninth Prince looked a little abnormal.
"Jing'er." A scream came over, followed by a snow-white figure walking quickly.
It was Concubine Chun.
Concubine Chun looked up and down at Emperor Rong Jing and found that he was not injured. She breathed a sigh of relief, "It's so cold, why did you come out? Nanny, why don't you take Jing'er back to the palace?"
Concubine De also arrived.
Concubine Rou and Concubine Hui also came over after hearing the sound.
"Ah, isn't this the Ninth Prince who never leaves the main house or goes out of the second door? Hey, he still can't speak? He's six years old now. Sister Chun, don't worry. I believe that the Ninth Prince will be fine when he grows up."
Concubine Hui said, with a bit of mockery in her words.
The Ninth Prince couldn't speak since he was born. Although he was smart, he was dumb.
In the royal family, a child with a physical injury would have no blessings.
Since he was a child, the emperor has asked miracle doctors to treat the Ninth Prince many times, but there is no way, he just can't be cured.
It's innate.
Maybe the Ninth Prince is unlucky.
He has the fate of a prince, but not the luck of a prince.
Concubine Chun has a higher position than her. When she heard this, she was angry, but she couldn't do anything to Huipin.
After all, Huipin is the biological mother of the Third Prince.
Even if the position of a concubine is low, other concubines can't deal with her son at will.
[It's a pity that the Ninth Prince's brother is so handsome and can't speak]
Concubine De lowered her head and glanced at Abao.
Abao likes the Ninth Prince.
The Ninth Prince quickly hid behind Concubine Chun. He
was shaking all over, like sieve chaff.
He, he, he——heard his sister's voice? ?
But his sister didn't say anything just now.
[Well... he is missing a soul, his intelligence is not complete, of course he can't speak]
Defei's heart skipped a beat.
[Among the three souls and seven spirits, the ninth prince is missing a soul]
Abao could actually see that Rongjing was different from ordinary people.
Di Rongjing was dumbfounded.
At such a young age, how could he not understand what his sister was thinking?
Concubine Chun didn't want to say more to the three of them, and was about to leave with Di Rongjing.
Di Rongjing didn't leave, and looked straight at Abao. He wanted to step forward and grab Abao's little hand, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Concubine Chun was confused and shocked, "Oh, Jing'er, don't touch the tenth princess."
The tenth princess is the apple of the emperor and the empress dowager's eye, and Jing'er is a disaster prince. If the tenth princess is injured because of Jing'er, Jing'er will definitely not survive.
Concubine Chun had been counting on Jing'er for her whole life. If Jing'er was gone, she would not be able to live.
Concubine Chun went to pull Rong Jing, and Concubine De said, "Sister, let Abao play with the Ninth Prince. I think they get along well. The Ninth Prince would also like to be close to Abao."
Concubine Chun was stunned.
Seeing Rong Jing holding Abao's little hand, her eyes instantly became red.
Rong Jing could not speak since he was a child, so he often closed himself off. The maids and eunuchs would not get close to him on weekdays. Only she and the nanny took care of him.
Over time, Rong Jing became a little introverted and more timid.
Every time Rong Jing saw an outsider, he would hide.
Six years!
Six whole years!
Concubine Chun had never seen Rong Jing take the initiative to get close to anyone, except Abao.
"Pot...what a good deal." Abao looked into Di Rongjing's eyes, which were a touch green, like jade, and clear with a hint of nobility.
Di Rongjing put aside his fear and looked at her expectantly.
He wanted to play with sister Abao.
But would sister Abao pay attention to him?
Everyone in the palace seemed to dislike him. Every time they saw him, they would deliberately avoid him.
Abao smiled with his little white teeth bared, "Hehe, porridge, go get your bowl!"
The Ninth Prince's face turned red with excitement, and he nodded heavily.
Abao was almost one year old, and the Ninth Prince seemed to be worried that she would slip, so he held her little hand and went to the Plum Garden.
Concubine Chun widened her eyes, tugged at Concubine De beside her, and swallowed in disbelief, "Sister Defei, am I dazzled?"
In the snow, the Ninth Prince and Abao were playing happily.
Snowflakes fell on the Ninth Prince, and Abao even went up to help him wipe the snow.
Concubine De was relieved that Abao was a little lucky star, like a little sun in the world, able to illuminate the dark places and warm others.
"This is a good start for the Ninth Prince." Concubine De said.
Concubine Chun responded excitedly, wiping her tears with a handkerchief, "Yes, yes, yes, I didn't expect that Jing'er didn't reject Abao and liked Abao so much."
She cried with joy.
Her son was lonely, and she had seen it for six years.
But there were many rumors about him in the palace. The facts were right before her eyes and she could not defend or explain them. She once thought that perhaps she had committed sins in her previous life and her children were suffering in this life.
But if there really is retribution and reincarnation, she hopes she can take the place of Rong Jing.
De Fei looked at the two little figures and smiled slightly, "Don't worry, Concubine Chun, maybe the Ninth Prince's illness will be cured in the future."
Concubine Chun responded repeatedly, "In the past few years, I have thought about it. Whoever cures my Jing'er, I will kowtow to it and burn incense to it every day, and worship it well."
Huipin and Roufei stood aside and looked at each other.
"Hey, sister Chun Fei, no matter how bad the Ninth Prince is, he is by your side. He is not like the fifth prince..."
They were all demoted to fiefdoms.
She gave birth to a son, but it was the same as not giving birth.
Missing him day and night.
Huipin looked at the two children in the plum garden, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
On the way back to the palace with Huipin, Roufei hummed all the way, looking very happy.
This made Huipin very upset.
She has been upset recently and always felt that something big was going to happen.
"Sister Roufei, are you willing to accept this?"
"What?"
"The tenth princess. Since she was born, the emperor has never come to our palace again. Don't you want to have another child? How can you give birth if the emperor doesn't come? You are still in the mood to sing now. I really don't know what you think."
Huipin complained, but she didn't dare to speak too aggressively.
She was of low status, but she couldn't help but say these words.
Roufei was a big-breasted and brainless girl, and she didn't mind that much. "The emperor may not come for a year or two, but he will come in the future."
Huipin secretly scolded Roufei for being stupid. She really didn't know where Roufei's confidence came from.
"What if the emperor doesn't go?"
Roufei was stunned, obviously she hadn't thought about this problem.
Huipin said in a non-stop manner: "As time goes by, Sister Roufei gets older, will it really be easier for her to get pregnant?"
"I really haven't thought about this question."
Huipin chuckled, "Sister Roufei, I have heard of a secret method to have a child in the market. Do you want to try it?"
Roufei glanced at her, "Why don't you try it?"
"I just heard about it, and besides, I don't plan to have a child now. You know, the third child is a troublesome one. One is enough for me to discipline. I want to wait until he gets married before having a child. In this way, I can also make time."
Roufei believed it.
Huipin said it sincerely.
"Then tell me, what is the method?"
...
I wish you all a happy New Year's Day in 2024!
This is the first year that my sisters and I have spent together, hahahaha.
I hope that in the new year, my sisters will have money, be loved, and be safe and happy.
I also hope that we can be together, have more companionship and more joy.
