Chapter 245 She wants to go to the bathroom!
"Really? Did your mother really ask you to come here?"
"Yes, Concubine Xin in Changchun Palace is also worried that you didn't have enough to eat tonight."
"Humph, Madam, you are talking nonsense. My mother was in Baohua Palace tonight offering incense and praying for the Royal Madam. How could she know that I didn't have dinner, and why would she send you to bring me a midnight snack?"
Linglong put her hands on her hips and raised her double chin, looking like you can't fool this princess.
"Princess, how could I lie to you? Your mother specifically told me to do this before we went to Baohua Palace."
Nanny Zhang felt that although Linglong was easy to coax, she could be very difficult to deal with when she became naughty.
"But Ma'am, the master will test me on the Analects tomorrow, and I haven't memorized it yet. You can eat this porridge after I finish memorizing it."
"Princess, you are the emperor's first princess. Even if you can't recite the book, the master won't say anything to you."
"But Mammy, Third Brother is the oldest child of the Emperor. Why does the Master and the Emperor scold him when he can't recite the book?"
Nanny Zhang said that her hands were sore from holding the bowl. Normally, the princess would not talk so much when she saw food.
"The Third Prince is a prince, and you, Princess, are a daughter. They are different. Since ancient times, women are virtuous even without talent. You will be right if you listen to this old servant."
Nanny Zhang stirred the bowl with the spoon, then scooped out another spoonful and fed it to Linglong's mouth.
"Mammy, mother said that eating too much at night will cause toothache, so I won't eat anymore."
"Princess, I put your favorite candy in here. If you really don't want to taste it, just eat a little and it won't hurt your teeth."
"Will your teeth really not hurt? But why did the porridge that grandma gave me before make my teeth hurt because it was so sweet?" Linglong asked, tilting her little head.
"Princess, that's because you're still young and your baby teeth haven't fallen out yet. They're all going to fall out anyway, so you don't have to worry about the pain, right?"
Linglong grinned, and with dimples on her face, she smiled brightly: "Mammy, you are right. I will give this porridge to you as a reward. Please eat it quickly, or you may not have the next meal after this one."
"Princess, what do you mean?" Nanny Zhang had a bad feeling and alarm bells were ringing in her heart.
"What the princess means is that you are dead."
Suddenly, the dark Yikun Palace was brightly lit, and Concubine Hua walked out of the palace supported by Songzhi.
The young eunuch lying in the corridor was none other than Zhou Ninghai. When Zhou Ninghai heard Concubine Hua's voice, he immediately lifted the quilt from the ground and took down Nanny Zhang.
"Empress Hua, what are you doing? Princess, you have misunderstood me." Aunt Zhang still felt that Linglong, who she had brought up since she was a child, would be easier to conquer.
Linglong turned around and ran to Concubine Hua's side, holding her hand, and raised her head to say to her: "Madam Hua, is Linglong being good?"
Linglong almost couldn't resist eating the sweet porridge just now.
But my mother said that eating the sugar porridge which was so sweet that it would make your teeth ache would cause your intestines to rot. I was just greedy, but I didn’t want my intestines to rot.
The intestines will rot in the stomach and turn into water. Once the intestines are rotten, you will no longer be able to poop. If you can't poop, you will have a fever, and if you have a fever, your mother will cry again.
This is what Linglong promised quietly in Hua Fei's ear before turning off the lights. In order to avoid being unable to poop and causing her mother to cry, Linglong promised not to eat too much sweets again.
The corners of Concubine Hua's mouth twitched when she heard this. Doesn't Concubine Xin feel guilty for making up such a genius logic to deceive a child?
No matter what, the result is good. After this incident, Linglong can distinguish between good and evil and understand the wickedness of human hearts, which is also a good thing.
As for Nanny Zhang, although she was strong and sturdy, she could not withstand Zhou Ninghai's strong grip. Nanny Zhang wanted to shout that she was innocent, but her mouth was blocked by Zhou Ninghai's rag.
Then he asked two young eunuchs to lock the man up in the woodshed in the backyard.
It's late at night and everyone is asleep. I'm just dealing with a small matter, but I'm sure I won't disturb the rest of the people in the palace.
Concubine Hua took Linglong back to the main hall, and Lanzhi and Guizhi brought hot water for the princess to wash.
Linglong was yawning on the edge of the bed, dangling her chubby feet in the hot water, then she stretched them out and flew into the air to let Sister Lanzhi wipe them.
After drying her feet, Linglong rolled onto the bed and fell asleep.
Hua Fei had originally prepared a speech in her mind, wanting to hug Linglong in bed and give her some valuable advice on "right and wrong, good and evil, and human hearts are unpredictable" to give her a deep ideological education.
But I never expected that Linglong had already started snoring.
Never mind. The child is smart anyway. Even when he is not smart enough, he can act foolishly and turn danger into safety.
Let her go to sleep first, so as not to delay her growth.
I heard from Doctor Wen before that sleeping can also affect a child’s growth.
Concubine Qi was present at the time, and it was Concubine Xin who asked the question. After Doctor Wen finished speaking, Concubine Qi expressed her high affirmation, saying that the Third Prince slept well when he was a child, which was why he was so tall now.
Concubine Hua believed that what Doctor Wen said was true. As for what Concubine Qi said...let her be, as long as she is happy.
-------------------------------------
After a period of commotion behind closed doors, the Yikun Palace returned to peace, and Concubine Hua and Linglong slept soundly.
Nanny Zhang spent the night in the woodshed.
Nanny Zhang had been thinking of an excuse all night, waiting to be summoned by Concubine Hua in the morning so that she could make an explanation.
But unexpectedly, Nanny Zhang waited for a long time but no palace servant came to open the door of the woodshed.
Before going to bed last night, Concubine Hua instructed Zhou Ninghai not to give Nanny Zhang any food, but to tie her up and throw her in the woodshed. Just check on her every one or two hours to see if she's still alive and to prevent her from dying of thirst.
As for Lazarus, let her be.
After receiving the order, Xiaolouzi covered his head and slept until dawn.
Later, the aroma of millet porridge with golden threads and red dates coming from the small kitchen aroused Xiaolouzi's gluttony, so he naturally forgot about the existence of Aunt Zhang.
Anyway, it's tied so tightly that if you check it after one or two hours, it won't make much difference whether you check it after two or three hours.
Xiaolouzi tricked Linglong into giving him a bowl of millet porridge, and showed off four meat buns, then went to sleep happily for a nap.
The master gave me this task in the next two days, to keep an eye on Nanny Zhang, and there was nothing else to do.
Nanny Zhang watched the sunlight outside the window cast shadows into the woodshed and slowly move as time passed. It was already from morning to noon, and there was still no movement.
She...she...she wants to go to the bathroom!
-------------------------------------
After Hua Fei and Linglong got up in the morning, Hua Fei felt that she had lost the good opportunity of last night to give Linglong a good ideological education, so she asked Xin Changzai to have breakfast in Yiku Palace and took the child back.
Xin Chang is a very honest person. He really went to Baohua Hall to worship Buddha last night and chanted until midnight before returning to Changchun Palace.
However, it is not known for whom Xin Changzai was praying to Buddha.
The official statement was naturally that it was for the Queen Mother.
