"Your Highness, do you know what Consort Nie just wrote in my palm?" Bai Lu asked the little bandit telepathically.
"Be careful of that little palace maid named Huixiu," Mo Linxian cheekily added in the little bandit's mind.
Ji Fengyao: "..."
Look how naughty her master is! He hasn't been allowed to make a sound all morning, and he's been itching to shut up!
But despite her complaints, Ji Fengyao still followed her master's advice and muttered to herself, "Be careful of Huixiu?"
"What, Your Highness, do you think Huixiu also has a problem?" Bailu asked in return, sounding rather strange.
"Hmm, Huixiu has a faint demonic aura about her, so she must be controlled by a demon."
Ji Fengyao's cultivation level is currently low, so she naturally cannot see through these things herself. However, it was all Mo Linxian who saw them and told her, and then she relayed them to her.
Bai Lu nodded knowingly, then glanced subconsciously at Hui Xiu, who was standing next to Consort Yin, and continued to transmit her voice, "I see. It's good that you noticed something, Your Highness. We must be more careful in the future and avoid being schemed against. However, Your Highness, Consort Nie didn't warn us to be wary of Hui Xiu, but rather the Third Prince!"
"How did she know..." This time it was Ji Fengyao's turn to be extremely surprised.
It should be noted that Nie Meier had been in Consort Yin's sight ever since she became pregnant;
Even Consort Yin was completely unaware of anything, but Nie Meier knew. Isn't that strange?
"This servant doesn't know. Time was of the essence, and Consort Nie only had time to write this one sentence in this servant's hand," Bai Lu shrugged.
"It seems I'll have to find some time to secretly visit Nie Meier again," Ji Fengyao said secretly to Bai Lu and Mo Linxian.
At this time, Little Thirteen had already been carried out by two palace maids who were specifically there to take care of him.
The little one has grown many times larger than when he was in swaddling clothes, but he is still a chubby, round little bundle of joy, looking incredibly cute.
Two palace maids carrying Little Thirteen went to pay their respects to Consort Yin and curtsied in unison, saying, "Your Highness, Consort Yin."
Consort Yin, known as "Cheng Hao," ignored them and, with a wide smile, teased Little Thirteen as usual, saying, "Come here, call me Mother Consort."
Little Thirteen ignored her, his two large, clear eyes scanning the people in front of him. He turned around impatiently and saw Ji Fengyao and Bai Lu behind him through the shoulder of the palace maid who was holding him.
"Ah...ya yi..."
The little one immediately grinned, revealing his first baby teeth, and waved his little hands, babbling as he tried to get closer to Ji Fengyao.
Seeing the little guy's innocent smile, Ji Fengyao and Bai Lu's hearts were instantly melted.
"Your Highness, this must be the Thirteenth Prince. He's so adorable! Look, he's smiling at us. He likes you, Your Highness!" Bai Lu couldn't help but feel a surge of maternal love and wished she could rush over and hug the little Thirteenth Prince herself.
Hearing the thirteenth prince's clear, childlike laughter and babbling, the smile on Consort Yin's face stiffened slightly:
It's one thing if he doesn't care about me, but after all, we're not blood relatives.
But the bandit was clearly not related to him by blood, so why was this little guy so affectionate and happy every time he saw the bandit?
Despite all her meticulous care for this little guy day and night, he's just an ungrateful wolf cub!
If the late emperor hadn't died and she had no other choice, she would have loved to throw this little wolf cub into a side courtyard and let him fend for himself with his birth mother!
"It seems that our Thirteenth Prince truly likes the Princess. After so long, he still recognizes her," Consort Yin said with a forced smile, feigning magnanimity.
