Chapter 399: Eastern Palace Tour
"Mother, are we going to see the prince now?"
"Well, do you want to see him?"
Miaomiao: “…I thought about it.”
There is really little to say about the prince.
The majority are sickly.
After all, they are brothers from the same mother, so we should see each other more often.
We see each other less and less.
Arrived at the East Palace.
Even outside the hall, I could faintly smell the scent of Chinese herbal medicine.
It seems that it has been soaked in medicine jars all year round.
As the princess entered the palace, a little boy came running towards her and fell into her arms.
“Aunt…Aunt…”
The little cub called out to his aunt in a soft voice.
It looked about three years old, with snow-white skin and very pretty. It rubbed against the princess's arms like a kitten.
Miaomiao was startled by the sudden appearance of the little dumpling and stood there watching blankly.
The child seemed to feel her gaze and turned to stare at her blankly.
"Miaomiao, he is your cousin Fu Yu, the son of the crown prince." Princess Yuqing introduced him to her daughter.
Miaomiao nodded.
The prince raised his son very well. His son was white and chubby, with little hands like lotus roots, like little meatballs.
It's comparable to when she was this age.
Miaomiao looked around, "Where's his mother?"
There was only a large group of servants and maids accompanying him, and the Crown Princess was not seen.
"Mom has turned into a star in the sky." The child said innocently with his eyes wide open.
Miaomiao understood immediately.
The little guy is a motherless child.
Children without mothers are the most pitiful.
"Yuer is usually taken care of by his grandmother, who sends him here every day to see his father." Princess Yuqing explained to her daughter.
When the antidote was retrieved, it was still too late.
Failed to save the Crown Princess.
The Queen Mother forbad the palace maids to tell the child that the Crown Princess had died, and only said that his mother had turned into a star.
The child was not with the Crown Princess when she died, and they searched for him for a while afterwards.
You'll get used to it slowly.
At first, you will talk to the stars in the sky.
Later, when he saw that his mother did not respond to him, he stopped talking.
After hearing this, Miaomiao felt a sore nose.
With a sick father and a dead mother, there doesn't seem to be anything good about being the crown prince.
"Mother, can I hold him?"
Princess Yuqing placed her nephew in front of her daughter and pointed at Miaomiao, "Call me sister."
Little Fu Yu called out in a baby voice, "Sister..."
After shouting, he stretched out his little hand like a lotus root node, wanting to hold her hand, but his little hand was soft.
He is not shy at all.
Miaomiao had never interacted with children as young as her, so she didn't know how to deal with them.
I feel a little helpless.
She let the little boy pull her into the house, with the little hair on her head shaking, which was very cute.
The further you go into the hall, the stronger the smell of medicine becomes.
The little guy actually pinched his nose and said to Miaomiao, "Daddy is taking medicine, it stinks."
Miaomiao was amused by all of them.
This kid is quite interesting. His father is in such a state, but he still despises him.
The light inside is a little dim.
I vaguely saw a person in white lying on the couch.
It should be the prince's uncle.
Come closer and take a look.
Startled.
The man was so thin that he was just skin and bones, like a matchstick.
His face was pale, his eye sockets were sunken, and he looked a little scary.
Is this her uncle the prince?
It seems that the poisons have caused him great harm, and it will be very difficult for him to recover.
The prince opened his eyes and saw that it was his eldest sister. He forced himself to sit up and called out weakly, "Imperial sister..."
"How come you've become thinner after not seeing you for a few days? You must not have eaten well." Princess Yuqing's eyes were red.
Seeing her brother like this, she felt so sad.
I wish I could cut King Chen into pieces.
"Don't be like this, sister. The children are here. This little girl is..." The prince's eyes fell on Miaomiao.
The little girl was like the sun, emitting golden light that made it impossible for people to open their eyes and made people feel warm.
It was as if a warm current flowed through his whole body.
When he got closer and took a look, his pupils dilated instantly.
"She's yours..."
"Yes." Princess Yuqing nodded.
"She belongs to you and that one..."
Miaomiao was so tired watching the brother and sister talking. They didn’t tell the whole story, but only half of it.
But both of them seemed to understand.
What this and that, everyone in the palace talks by guessing, no wonder they get sick.
The little one in the princess's mother's arms also blinked, staring blankly at his father and aunt talking.
As if he could understand.
After talking for a while, the prince placed his son's hand in hers and said, "Miaomiao, please help your uncle take good care of your brother and play with him more, okay?"
Miaomiao nodded obediently.
I feel a little uncomfortable. It's like entrusting an orphan to someone else's care.
"Uncle, you have to get better as soon as possible and take care of your brother yourself. I'm still a child and can't take care of him."
The little girl's words amused the prince, "You see, your uncle must be sick and confused. You are still a child."
The little boy saw his father, aunt and sister all smiling, and he also smiled foolishly.
Miaomiao looked at the half-eaten meal beside him and said seriously, "Uncle, if you can't eat, you can have some corn porridge. Cook the corn into porridge and eat the oil on top. It's very nourishing and has the effect of nourishing yin and nourishing the stomach. It's especially suitable for people who are sick."
At that time, corn was the so-called coarse grain and was eaten by ordinary people.
Generally speaking, corn would not appear on the tables of the nobles in the palace.
But that's really good stuff.
Especially for people like the prince who have weak spleen and stomach and are recovering from a long illness.
The best fit.
Drinking corn porridge is better than drinking ginseng chicken soup at this stage.
The prince had long lost the taste for food, and now everything he ate seemed the same. He didn't take it seriously and just smiled and said a few perfunctory words.
Princess Yuqing believed it without a doubt.
Even though my daughter is young and hasn't read many books, she knows a lot.
She instructed the palace maids to cook corn for the prince every day as Miaomiao had instructed.
The prince was also very receptive and nodded in agreement.
Before leaving, the prince gave her many more gifts.
Just left the East Palace.
Eunuch Yu came.
Miaomiao remembered that this was the eunuch who ran errands for the emperor and often went to Prince Jing's mansion to announce imperial decrees.
"Your Highness, the Emperor wishes to see you and Miss Jiang Wu."
Miaomiao: ...
A little panicked and a little nervous.
I didn’t have much idea about the old emperor before, but after hearing those words in the Queen’s grandmother’s palace.
Suddenly, some vivid images appeared in my mind.
A little scary.
Princess Yuqing originally wanted Xier to take Miaomiao out of the palace first so that she could go to see her father.
I didn't expect that I couldn't leave.
She was feeling a little complicated at the moment.
