"Mother! This is the child my brother and I rescued. He is so pitiful and can't even speak. Please let him stay with me." The little daughter looked at her pitifully. Concubine Yu was not a heartless person.

Although he had some complaints about the dirtiness of the child, he nodded in understanding. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, and it can also be considered as praying for the two children.

Concubine Yu chuckled and said to Qingyin, "What a poor child."

"A Nuan!"

A palace maid with ordinary appearance but comfortable look came out.

"Yes, my dear."

Concubine Yu gently pointed at Qingyin and said, "Take this child to have a good bath."

"Yes, ma'am."

The young palace maid took Qingyin away. Although Wu Yanmeng was still reluctant to part with Qingyin, she understood Concubine Yu's reasons, so she had to let Sister An Nuan take her little friend away.

Qingyin, who was forced to separate from Wu Yanmeng, was not nervous.

A Nuan, who was holding the child and was worried about the child making noise, was a little surprised. The two little masters in the palace, the Tenth Prince and the Twelfth Princess, were not well-behaved. It was rare to see such a well-behaved child, and A Nuan had a little affection for him.

Once they were in the warm pool, the child cooperated and Nuan's movements became more gentle.

Especially when she washed the child's face, that thin but still delicate face with excellent foundation, Ah Nuan was a little stunned.

Different from the cute and adorable little princess and the handsome and strong-looking Tenth Prince, the child's face was extremely pale and bloodless, making him look like jade, fragile and pitiful. Moreover, the child had a pair of extremely rare eyes, so beautiful that there were no flaws in his eyes. They were clean and clear, like colored glass, which made people feel intimate at first sight.

No wonder the little princess likes him so much.

However, A Nuan still felt a little regretful in her heart. The child was a boy. No matter what, the child could not always be with the princess.

Qingyin guessed the palace maid's emotions, but he was not sure.

Qingyin closed his eyes and let A Nuan wipe the water droplets off his body. He changed into clean and tidy clothes. Such small clothes were obtained by the palace maid from the young eunuchs. It was a small green robe.

When put on the skinny child, there was still a lot of space left, making him look even more pitiful.

But it was barely wearable. Ah Nuan sighed. With strange sympathy for the child, Ah Nuan bent over and gave Qing Yin a sincere word of advice: "Child, you have to be obedient, especially to the princess and the imperial concubine, understand?"

Qingyin nodded obediently, and carefully straightened a hairpin that had fallen off A Nuan's head with her fingers.

Ah Nuan's eyes softened and she touched the child's head: "You are such a pitiful child. I will call you my brother from now on."

Qingyin smiled sweetly and nodded, being extremely obedient, successfully earning another imaginary sympathetic look from Ah Nuan.

If Qingyin had a favorability registration form, I'm afraid that at this moment, several favorability reminders would ring in my mind one after another:

"Ah Nuan's favorability +1"

"Anuan's favorability +1"

"Anuan's favorability +1"

……

All kinds of things were waiting for Qingyin to appear again in front of Concubine Yu and Wu Yanmeng who was bathed again. The mother and daughter opened their similar peach blossom eyes at the same time, "!!!"

A smile flashed in Qingyin's eyes.

Concubine Yu looked at the child pitifully: "Poor child, his face is so pale, it hurts to look at him."

Concubine Yu, who already had a little daughter of similar age, felt her motherly love overflow again. She gently pulled Qingyin and touched her head.

"Chunyan, use my excuse to ask an imperial physician to come and take a look."

"Yes, ma'am."

Chunyan, a palace maid who had been with Concubine Yu for a long time and was one of her confidants, was slightly surprised, but after taking another look at the child picked up by the princess, she understood.

Such a poor child is really pitiful, no wonder the queen likes him too.

At this moment, Wu Yanmeng had already run to Qingyin's side. Although she looked only a head taller than her, the contrast between the chubby little girl and the thin Qingyin made Qingyin look even more pitiful.

Imperial Concubine Yu carefully pulled back her reckless little girl and said, "Be gentle, kid. He's so young, what if he gets bumped into by you?"

Wu Yanmeng nodded deeply and obediently distanced herself from Qingyin.

But she remained enthusiastic and fond of him, and continued, "You are so handsome! I think you are even more handsome than my brother!"

"But you are too thin. You would look better if you were a little fatter! Don't be afraid. Just stay with me from now on. You eat whatever I eat. I promise to make you plump and white." The little girl patted her chest and promised, looking extremely cute and interesting.

This made many palace maids in the palace smile warmly.

Even Concubine Yu had a smile on her face, "Yes, from now on you will eat with our Yan'er."

Qingyin nodded obediently. Now he was a ruthless nodding machine.

"Oh, right!" Imperial Concubine Yu seemed to have thought of something, and then she asked Ah Nuan beside her, "Is this child a boy or a girl?"

Although she asked this, Concubine Yu was already certain that the child was a girl.

"Your Majesty, the child is a boy." Ah Nuan answered respectfully with her head lowered, hiding the regret in her eyes.

Concubine Yu opened her eyes wide in surprise. The boy actually had such a delicate face.

Then this... I'm afraid this child won't be able to stay with Yan'er in the future. After all, he is a rescued child, and he won't be allowed to enter the palace to become a eunuch, Concubine Yu was thinking sincerely at this moment.

Wu Yanmeng, who was standing by, didn't know the sad fact yet. She was still foolishly leaning in front of Qingyin, "So you are a boy. You look as pretty as a girl."

"Do you have a name?"

Qingyin shook her head.

Suddenly the beautiful little girl looked worried. She was thinking about what name to give Qingyin.

Seeing this, Concubine Yu said casually: "Yan'er, you don't know how to do it, mother, please give it to this little brother!"

Concubine Yu also became interested in naming such a beautiful child.

But Wu Yanmeng obviously didn't want to give the power of naming to her mother, and insisted, "No!"

After being strongly rejected, Concubine Yu had to give up the idea.

Wu Yanmeng thought for a while, and when she looked at Qingyin, she suddenly remembered the words in the Book of Poetry that her teacher had taught her: "When I think of a gentleman, his eyes are as warm as jade."

Qingyin's skin just happened to be so white, so she was called: "Ruyu! From now on, you can be called Ruyu."

"Ru Yu" means a gentleman is like jade. Even Concubine Yu can be blessed with this name.

She looked at her little daughter in surprise. She didn't expect that her little daughter, who didn't like studying so much, would still listen to the teacher's words! As expected of a teacher hired by the emperor, she had a way to deal with the children in the palace.

Qingyin nodded obediently as usual, but at this moment he looked at Wu Yanmeng and smiled slightly.

In this life, his name is Ruyu.
