PDLP Chapter 444: Amusing the Baby
Chapter 444: Amusing the Baby
A few days later, the heavy rain stopped and the sun smiled from behind the clouds. A gust of wind blew away the last bit of warmth, and the weather gradually became cooler.
In the Yongshou Palace.
Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang and Feng Ruozhao were discussing matters in the main hall. An Lingrong listened for a while, felt a little bored, and went outside the hall.
In the courtyard, the warm early winter sun shone gently, warming the air and dispelling some of the chill. An Lingrong stretched her arms and stretched her body, feeling the rare warmth.
She squinted her eyes and looked up at the sky. A few thin clouds slowly floated by, and the sunlight shone through the clouds, making her face even softer.
At this time, Liu Zhu walked over lightly and asked with concern, "My Lady, are you cold? Would you like me to get you a cloak?"
An Lingrong smiled at her gently and shook her head: "It's not cold, it's warm today."
After saying that, she looked at Liu Zhu again.
Liu Zhu was already twenty-three years old, and the years had accrued a certain maturity and composure in her, making her actions more calm and thoughtful. However, her eyes and eyebrows still shone with the same lively spirit she had when she first entered the palace, as if time had never taken away the playfulness and innocence in her bones.
Her calmness and agility are intertwined to form a unique charm, which makes people feel reliable and can't help but be infected by her vibrant vitality.
An Lingrong's feelings for Liu Zhu are different from those for others. Liu Zhu was the one she saved with her own hands, and this special fate gave her an inexplicable bond with Liu Zhu.
Whenever she looked at Liu Zhu, there was not only admiration in her eyes, but also a kind of satisfaction almost like an old mother, as well as an indescribable pride and satisfaction, as if she saw a flower she had planted with her own hands, growing tenaciously in the wind and rain, and finally blooming with its own brilliance.
Seeing that she was still staring at him with a smile, Liu Zhu lowered her head slightly, a blush on her cheeks, and said in a soft voice with a hint of embarrassment: "Your Majesty, why are you looking at me like this?"
"Liu Zhu, I think about how you looked when you first entered the palace. So many years have passed, and you haven't changed at all."
Liu Zhu raised her head, eyes full of attachment, and said softly: "With you protecting me, I have lived a stable and happy life these years. Thank you, Your Majesty!"
An Lingrong waved her hand: "We struggle in the palace, isn't it just to protect the innocent hearts of those around us?"
Speaking of this, she remembered something else: "Last time, Sister Zhen said that you didn't want to leave the palace. What are your plans?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhu took a half step forward and moved closer to her. Her lips moved a few times, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she did not speak. She just lowered her head and said softly, "This servant will not leave the palace."
Seeing this, An Lingrong knew that she had her own worries in her mind, so she stopped asking questions. She smiled, put her arm around her shoulders and said, "It's okay. If you don't want to leave the palace, then don't leave. If you all leave, there will be no one to play with me, and that would be so boring."
Liu Zhu's eyes gleamed with brilliance, and the corners of her mouth curled up: "Your Majesty, what you said makes sense. I made some milk and water chestnut flour cakes, which will be ready soon. You can have a few pieces later."
An Lingrong pretended to be dissatisfied and asked, "Why didn't you make mung bean cakes?"
"Sister Su Ye said that you can't eat mung bean cakes in winter, for fear that you will catch a cold."
"Okay, I'm a little hungry."
"I will fetch it."
After saying that, Liu Zhu skipped to the small kitchen.
An Lingrong looked at her back and then turned her gaze to the yard.
Not far away, the twins were taking their first steps. Lingxi, already a steady walker, took firm steps, briskly sauntering to the front. She turned and looked at her brother, who was still trudging along behind her. A pure smile spread across her face, her two newly emerged baby teeth glimpsed in the sunlight.
The wet nurse followed them carefully, never taking her eyes off the two children for a moment, for fear that they would fall.
Looking at this scene, An Lingrong unconsciously raised a gentle smile on her lips, her eyes full of love.
When Liu Zhu brought the cakes, she ate two pieces, picked up another, and walked to a place not far from Hong Zhou. She gently shook the cake in her hand and teased him, "Hong Zhou, come here quickly."
When Hongzhou saw the snacks, he instantly became energetic, his steps became firmer, and he staggered towards An Lingrong.
Seeing this, An Lingrong deliberately backed away slowly, while Hongluo followed step by step. When there was no more room for retreat, An Lingrong smiled brightly and stuffed the snack into her mouth.
When Hongzhou saw the snacks being eaten, he immediately opened his mouth and started crying, tears streaming down his face. His little face wrinkled and he looked extremely aggrieved.
"What's going on?" Several people in the hall heard the sound and hurried out to see what was going on.
The wet nurse suppressed her laughter and recounted what had happened.
"Rong'er, don't bully Hongzhou!" Shen Meizhuang tapped her forehead helplessly.
An Lingrong felt a little embarrassed and muttered, "How could I have known he was so clueless? It's all Sister Zhen's fault for not letting him have any snacks."
Feng Ruozhao laughed: "It's obviously you who are naughty, but you blame others."
Zhen Huan said helplessly, "It's not that I don't let him eat. If he eats snacks, he won't eat properly."
"Oh, I was wrong, okay!" An Lingrong curled her lips and said in a wronged manner.
"Okay!" Shen Meizhuang responded with a smile, then picked up Hongzhou, took a piece of dessert, broke it into pieces and fed it to him, saying gently: "Hongzhou, be good, you can only eat a small piece, if you eat too much, your stomach will hurt!"
Hongzhou then stopped crying and ate snacks with sobs. There were still tears on his little face, but he had a satisfied smile on his face.
Several people returned to the hall and continued to discuss business.
An Lingrong casually picked up the paper on the table and glanced at it:
Sun Heyin, niece of the Yangzhou Tongpan, was granted the rank of seventh-rank concubine.
Sun agreed!
A classic scene immediately popped up in An Lingrong's mind and automatically dubbed: sdydcsyydg, hgzngktdyds.
"Hahahaha!" An Lingrong suddenly held her stomach and laughed so hard that she fell over.
The others were confused, and Shen Meizhuang couldn't help but ask, "What are you laughing at?"
An Lingrong quickly waved her hands and stopped laughing: "Nothing, nothing."
She rolled her eyes, pointed at the name "Sun Heyin" on the paper, and said mischievously, "This person assigned her to the Yanxi Palace."
"why?"
Because you have to be on the front line to eat melons.
"I like her!" An Lingrong blinked and smiled meaningfully.
Zhen Huan asked curiously, "You haven't seen her yet, have you?"
An Lingrong's eyes flashed with a strange light. She hugged Shen Meizhuang's arm and said, "I like this name. Sister, can you renovate the East Side Hall of Yanxi Palace and let her live there? Okay?"
"it is good!"
Seeing her mischievous smile, Shen Meizhuang stopped asking questions and wrote the three words "Yanxi Palace" after Sun Heyin's name.
"As for the others, do as you please!"
After saying these things, the few people dispersed.
