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

"Mom, why did Dad make you ask this all of a sudden?" Su Nuannuan frowned in confusion, her bright eyes filled with bewilderment as she stared straight at her mother.

At this moment, Su Nuannuan was completely unaware of what it meant to have just given birth to a prince. Although she had watched plenty of palace dramas filled with scheming and intrigue in her previous life, she had only just transmigrated and arrived just in time to give birth. Her body was still weak, and her mind was still somewhat dazed, so Su Nuannuan's brain was not quite working properly for the time being.

Mother Su gently teased the baby in her arms and said in a low voice, "What your father means is that if you have any designs on that supreme position, we should prepare in advance."

Su's mother's voice was so soft that it was almost imperceptible if one did not listen carefully. If one's hearing was slightly impaired, one would probably not hear what she was saying at all.

However, before Su Nuannuan could respond, her mother added, "If you have no interest in that position, your father plans to find a way to transfer your eldest brother from the distant border town back to the capital and have him voluntarily hand over the military power he holds." Just like before, Su's mother's voice was barely audible, almost inaudible.

Su Nuannuan gazed at her adorable son in his swaddling clothes, her eyes brimming with maternal love. She slowly said, "Mother, let my eldest brother come back! You and Father have been longing to hold our grandson for a long time." As she finished speaking, Su Nuannuan gently stroked the child's delicate face, a tender smile playing on her lips.

Hearing her daughter say this, Su's mother immediately understood. She looked up at Su Nuannuan and asked softly, "Have you thought it through?"

"Mmm," Su Nuannuan nodded vigorously in response.

"It's truly time for our Su family to have more members!" Su's mother said with a smile.

"Mother, how are my second and third brothers doing now?"

Turning her gaze to her daughter, Su's mother slowly said, "Your second brother is working at the Court of State Ceremonial. He's been quite relaxed lately because there haven't been any foreign envoys visiting yet. So, apart from the usual routine matters, he hasn't had anything particularly busy. As for your third brother, he's decided to go into business with your uncle. That kid has never been interested in officialdom since he was a child; he only wants to make his way in the business world."

At this point, Mrs. Su gently patted her daughter's hand and said softly, "Nuan Nuan, you don't need to worry about these things at home. You just need to take good care of yourself and the children."

Hearing her mother's thoughtful words, Su Nuan nodded obediently and replied, "I understand, Mother."

"It's getting late, Mother should leave the palace and return home." With a look of reluctance, Mother Su stood up slowly and said softly, gazing at her daughter and her infant grandson.

"Mother, please be careful on your way back," Su Nuannuan said to her mother with a look of longing and concern.

"Don't worry, my dear daughter, I know what I'm doing," Su's mother replied with a smile, a smile that contained both love for her daughter and sadness at the impending separation.

Then, under Su Nuannuan's silent gaze, Su's mother left the bedroom, turning back every few steps. Li Quan, who had been waiting outside the door, respectfully escorted Su's mother out of the palace and into the distance.

Before long, Yaoqin and Jinse tiptoed into the room, both with worried expressions on their faces, and called out in unison, "Your Majesty..."

"I'm fine, it's just that the baby is due for nursing, so quickly hand him over to the wet nurse and take him away! Also, immediately close the palace gates and inform everyone that I am very weak after giving birth and will not be able to receive guests for some time." Su Nuannuan gave her instructions in an orderly manner.

"But Your Majesty, what if the Emperor comes?" Yaoqin asked cautiously, her face showing concern.

"If the Emperor comes, tell him that I have already gone to bed," Su Nuannuan replied without hesitation.

Yaoqin seemed about to say something more, but Jinse beside her gently tugged at her sleeve, signaling her not to say anything more.

"Alright, there's no need for you to serve me here. Go about your business. I'm really tired and want to rest for a while." Su Nuannuan waved her hand wearily, then pulled the covers up and lay down on her side.

At this moment, her thoughts were in turmoil and she needed to rest and recuperate before she could calm down and think about what to do next.

Looking back on her past life, she was all alone, never having had a loving boyfriend, nor experiencing the joys and hardships of motherhood. Yet, even so, her life was still fulfilling and colorful.

In her early years, she worked as a kindergarten teacher, spending her days with adorable children and feeling the warmth of their innocent smiles. Around that time, her best friend welcomed a new life, but since both families lacked elders to help care for the child, she readily became her friend's savior, practically being dragged into acting as a temporary nanny, as if transforming into the hardworking and devoted "Andy Lau."

During that period, she was busy taking care of her child's daily life and meals, while also making good use of her spare time to study various parenting knowledge.

Putting aside other aspects, she has honed her skills to an exceptional degree in cooking baby food. Whether it's a nutritionally balanced vegetable puree or a sweet and delicious fruit porridge, she can make it look, smell, and taste amazing, ensuring her baby enjoys it immensely.

As time went by, my best friend finally opened her own small shop and gradually had enough time to take care of her child herself. At this point, she was finally able to escape the heavy burden of childcare.

After regaining her freedom, she did not choose to stop, but embarked on a journey full of unknowns and surprises. During her journey, she not only appreciated the magnificent scenery and local customs of various places, but also had the opportunity to come into contact with and learn several precious intangible cultural heritage crafts and exquisite handicraft techniques.

After she returned from her studies, she entrusted her best friend's shop to sell the exquisite handicrafts she had made.

With her excellent craftsmanship and unique creativity, these works quickly gained popularity among many customers, bringing her a considerable income.

In short, although she was never rich or powerful in her past life, she was never troubled by money and always maintained a simple and pure state of mind.

"It seems that we must find a way to get the children away from this heavily guarded and treacherous palace."

Although His Highness the Crown Prince is now firmly seated in the Eastern Palace, who dares to say that the position of Crown Prince will forever belong to the eldest son born to the Empress?

After all, the Emperor's imperial power still lingers. As long as he remains on the throne, the position of Crown Prince is as precarious as a candle in the wind, subject to change at any moment. She simply cannot afford to lose such a high-stakes gamble with an uncertain outcome!

"Alas, what a pity! I, a person who transmigrated here, thought I could use some special abilities or opportunities to manipulate events and dominate this unfamiliar ancient world, but I never expected that I wouldn't even possess the slightest bit of a so-called 'golden finger'. Am I truly destined to live such a mediocre life, trapped in this deep palace?"

Su Nuannuan lay quietly on the carved bed, her eyes tightly closed, but her thoughts surged like a tidal wave, never stopping for a moment.

Lost in thought, I fell asleep in no time.
