Consort Zhuang doesn't want palace intrigue; she just wants to raise her child and live a caref
Chapter 48 Acting is so tiring
Seeing this, the Empress first sighed heavily before slowly explaining, "Sister Consort Zhuang, do not worry. The little princess's royal jade tablet has already been registered in your name. As long as you are safe and sound and do not act recklessly, then no one, not even the Emperor himself, can take the little princess away from you."
Upon hearing the Empress's words, Su Nuannuan first blinked, then looked at the Empress with an expression that said, "There's such a thing as this?"
"You entered the palace late, so it's normal that you don't know. You can rest assured now!"
Su Nuannuan wailed inwardly, "Why didn't you say so! You've wasted my feelings."
"Alright, if there's nothing else, go back and see your little princess." The Empress rubbed her temples with one hand and waved her hand, signaling Su Nuannuan to go back.
"You entered the palace late, so it's normal that you didn't know these things. Now that the truth is out, you should be able to put your mind at ease, right?" the Empress comforted her gently.
However, Su Nuannuan was inwardly wailing, "Oh dear, why didn't you tell me sooner! You made me worry and overthink for so long, what a waste of all my feelings." The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she became.
"Alright, alright, since there's nothing else, you should hurry back and see your little princess." The noble and dignified Empress was sitting lazily on her phoenix chair, gently rubbing her temples with one hand, seemingly quite tired; while she waved her other hand casually, indicating that Su Nuannuan could leave.
Su Nuannuan finally got the news she wanted, and a look of joy appeared on her face.
She quickly stood up, her movements elegant and dignified, and respectfully bowed to the Empress. Then, she nodded slightly, turned, and with Jinse in tow, gracefully left the Empress's residence.
As she walked towards Youlan Courtyard, Su Nuannuan's tense nerves finally relaxed slightly. Stepping through the gate, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh, then casually remarked, "Acting is really tiring!"
At this moment, Li Quan spotted Su Nuannuan's return and hurriedly went to greet her. After bowing, he anxiously reported, "Your Majesty, news has just arrived that Consort Li has been confined to her quarters by the Emperor."
Upon hearing this, Su Nuannuan was first taken aback, then a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She clapped her hands excitedly several times and said with uncontrollable joy, "Oh! That's wonderful!" She thought to herself, "I can finally vent my anger."
Meanwhile, Consort Li sat stunned in her palace, her face filled with shock and disbelief. She couldn't understand why, simply wanting to raise the little princess, she had been inexplicably punished by the Emperor with confinement. However, it was too late for regrets now.
Meanwhile, to appease and compensate Su Nuannuan, the Emperor showered Youlan Courtyard with gifts, a continuous stream pouring in. For a time, the entire Youlan Courtyard was immersed in a joyous atmosphere.
After the person who delivered the reward left, Su Nuannuan went back to her room to get a drink of water. As soon as she sat down, she saw Xiao Yuanzi coming over.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty has ordered me to inform you that His Majesty will be visiting this place tonight." Xiao Yuanzi bowed respectfully and then spoke cautiously.
Upon hearing this, Su Nuannuan, who was about to drink tea, trembled violently, spilling a few drops of tea onto the table. Her face instantly darkened, as if shrouded in a dark cloud.
Su Nuannuan was extremely reluctant to accept the Emperor's arrival. Those so-called rewards were nothing but fleeting clouds to her.
In contrast, she would rather give up all of this than serve that high and mighty emperor.
However, being in the palace, she had no choice but to accept her fate. Even though she was unwilling, Su Nuannuan knew she couldn't refuse the Emperor's decree. Helpless, she could only suppress her resentment and silently accept this reality.
Even after Xiao Yuanzi and her entourage left, Su Nuannuan's emotions remained unsettled. She took a deep breath, composed herself, and then summoned Jinse and the others, instructing them to carefully mark each of the Emperor's gifts and properly store them in the storeroom. She herself then turned and walked towards the east wing, where her unfinished, exquisite kingfisher feather phoenix crown was displayed.
Time flies by. During this period, Su Nuannuan was either busy making the jade phoenix crown or taking good care of the young children.
Although life was busy, it allowed her to temporarily forget the troubles and unpleasantness of the palace. And so, day after day, Su Nuannuan's days passed quietly in this seemingly peaceful yet subtly turbulent atmosphere.
On this sunny day, with a gentle breeze rustling the windowpanes, Su Nuannuan finally put down the kingfisher feather crown she had been busy making and decided to spend a warm and cozy time with her four adorable children.
At this moment, Jing Han was watching intently as his younger brother, Jing Cheng, tried his best to roll over. Jing Cheng's little hands and feet were flailing about, his face turning red, but he still couldn't manage to roll over.
Seeing this, Jing Han hurriedly ran to Su Nuannuan's side and pointed at Jing Cheng to complain, "Mother Consort Zhuang, my brother doesn't know how."
Su Nuannuan smiled slightly and gently stroked Jing Han's head to comfort him, "Don't worry, your little brother is still young. It takes time for him to learn these new skills. We need to be patient and guide him slowly. I believe that it won't be long before he can turn things around smoothly."
Hearing Su Nuannuan's gentle words, Jing Han nodded as if he understood, then ran back to Jing Cheng's side and encouraged his younger brother: "Go for it, little brother!"
And so, with the warm care and encouragement of his family, Jingcheng tried to roll over again and again. Persistence pays off, and after much effort, Jingcheng finally succeeded. At that moment, he giggled happily, and everyone applauded and cheered for him.
This beautiful memory was deeply etched in the hearts of every child. So much so that years later, when the brothers gathered together, Jing Han and Jing Yu would often tease Jing Cheng about it: "Fifth brother, back then, you were able to learn to turn over thanks to your second and third brothers teaching you hand in hand!"
Every time Jingcheng heard his two older brothers teasing him, he would get angry and try to defend himself.
