Consort Zhuang doesn't want palace intrigue; she just wants to raise her child and live a caref

Upon hearing this, Su Nuannuan, who was leaning against the bed, couldn't help but show joy and hurriedly said, "Li Quan, quickly go to the palace gate to greet my mother on my behalf!" Her words were full of urgency.

"Your Majesty, please don't worry, this servant will go immediately." After saying that, Li Quan hurriedly took his unsteady steps and limped towards the palace gate.

Li Quan was a pitiful man who had been making a living in the flower room ever since he entered the palace. However, because he was lame, he suffered all kinds of bullying and ridicule in the palace.

Aside from meticulously tending to the various flowers and plants, the eunuchs in the flower room spent almost all their remaining time bullying Li Quan. They would either mock him, deliberately assign him heavy and thankless tasks, or push him to the ground and beat him.

As luck would have it, one day, when Li Quan was being ruthlessly humiliated by the other eunuchs, Su Nuannuan, who happened to be visiting the flower room to admire the flowers, witnessed this scene.

Seeing this, the kind-hearted Su Nuannuan felt a surge of pity and immediately instructed Jinse beside her to step forward and stop those people's evil deeds.

After Jinse dismissed everyone, Su Nuannuan walked up to Li Quan and softly asked him if he was willing to leave this malicious place.

Li Quan was moved to tears and nodded repeatedly in agreement. So, after obtaining Li Quan's consent, Su Nuannuan took him back to her residence, Cuiwei Palace, and appointed him as the palace's steward.

For Li Quan, Su Nuannuan was undoubtedly his savior. If it weren't for this benefactor's help, he probably wouldn't know how long he would have suffered in that dire situation.

Therefore, since arriving at Cuiwei Palace, Li Quan has been filled with gratitude and has been utterly loyal to Su Nuannuan, doing his best in everything and daring not to slack off in the slightest.

Regarding the original owner's actions, the current Su Nuannuan couldn't help but feel moved, thinking to herself, "In this treacherous and treacherous harem, it's truly remarkable that she could maintain that kind heart so consistently!" She gently shook her head, seemingly filled with admiration and pity for the original owner.

Before long, Li Quan respectfully led the wife of the General of the State into the Cuiwei Palace. Then, under Li Quan's guidance, they arrived at Su Nuannuan's bedroom.

As soon as she entered, the wife of the General of the State bowed gracefully to Su Nuannuan and said softly, "The wife of the General of the State greets Your Highness." Her voice was clear and melodious, as sweet as a nightingale singing in a valley.

Upon seeing this, Su Nuannuan was startled and hurriedly cried out, "Mother, get up quickly! How can a mother bow to her own child?" As she spoke, she turned to Li Quan beside her and hurriedly ordered, "Li Quan, hurry up and help my mother up!"

Although the way she called out "Mother" sounded a little stiff and awkward, Su Nuannuan knew that since she had taken over the original owner's body, she should fulfill the filial duties the original owner had to fulfill as a child. So, even though she was still a little uncomfortable, she tried her best to act as naturally as possible.

However, just as Su Nuannuan was about to get up and bow to her mother, the General's wife, quick as a flash, stepped forward and stopped her. The General's wife smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you mustn't. There are many rules of etiquette in the palace; you mustn't break them because of me. As Your Majesty, it is only right that I bow and greet you."

After saying that, he sat down on the brocade stool that Jinse had brought over.

"Mother, how are my brothers and father?" Su Nuannuan looked at her mother, who was sitting elegantly on the brocade stool, with her big, bright eyes full of expectation, and asked softly.

The General's wife smiled slightly, extended a well-maintained hand, gently took Su Nuannuan's small hand, and said tenderly, "Don't worry, my dear daughter, everything is fine at home."

As she spoke, the General's wife patted Su Nuannuan's hand again, saying with deep emotion, "In the blink of an eye, our Nuannuan has already become a mother. Time really flies..."

Just then, light footsteps sounded at the door, and Yaoqin, dressed in a light green dress, quickly walked in. She came to Su Nuannuan, curtsied slightly, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the wet nurse has brought the Fifth Prince to pay his respects."

"Bring it in quickly!" Upon hearing this news, Su Nuannuan's face immediately lit up with a bright smile, and she called out eagerly. As she spoke, she sat up straight impatiently, her eyes fixed on the direction of the door.

"Mom, I haven't had a proper look at this little one since he was born yesterday!" Su Nuannuan turned to her mother beside her and said excitedly. At this moment, her heart was filled with the joy and curiosity of becoming a mother for the first time.

The General's wife looked at her daughter with loving eyes, a tear glistening in her gaze, and said with a slightly choked voice, "As long as Nuannuan is safe and sound, I am happier than anything else."

Before she finished speaking, the wet nurse carefully carried the Fifth Prince into the bedroom. She first went to Su Nuannuan and bowed respectfully, then turned to the wife of the General of the State and bowed again.

"Mom, look at this!" Su Nuannuan's face was filled with happiness and joy as she excitedly pointed at the tiny swaddled baby. Her voice was clear and melodious, like a nightingale singing in a valley. "Tell me, who does this little one look more like?" Her beautiful eyes sparkled with anticipation as she stared intently at her mother beside her.

Upon hearing this, the General's wife quickly stepped forward and carefully examined the exquisitely beautiful baby in the swaddling clothes. His skin was as white as snow, so delicate it seemed as if it could be broken with a touch; his features were exquisitely small, like a work of art meticulously sculpted by heaven. The more she looked at him, the more she liked him, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Haha, I think this child looks more like our Nuannuan!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the lady raised her head again, her gaze falling gently on Su Nuannuan's face, and continued, "Especially these eyebrows and eyes, they are exactly the same as Nuannuan's. The curved eyebrows are as soft as a crescent moon, and the eyes are bright and clear, like two dazzling gems set on that rosy face."

Not long after the Fifth Prince was carried into the room, Jinse and Yaoqin exchanged a knowing glance, then led the palace servants of Cuiwei Palace out of the room in perfect unison. They knew that the Lady must have many intimate words she wanted to say to the Empress alone.

The General's wife glanced at the empty bedroom and asked Su Nuannuan in a low voice, "Nuannuan, your father asked me to ask you, now that you have a prince, do you have any thoughts about that position?"

As she spoke, her beautiful and shrewd eyes were fixed on her daughter's face, as if trying to catch a clue from the subtle changes in her daughter's expression.
