Chapter 283 I heard it all
"Hahaha... since your Majesty Mother said it was a surprise, then I must keep it a secret. I originally wanted to tell you, but since you said so, I must keep it a secret," Wen Yao laughed. In fact, it was not really a surprise, just finding a little kid to make some noise.
The imperial concubine was somewhat confused, but also somewhat expectant. Nanny Qi Rong beside her was also expectant. She was very worried about her master and hoped that the Ninth Lady could find a solution!
After a while, a childish voice sounded at the entrance of Chengqian Palace, "Madame Cui, Sister-in-law Nine is so mean. Why did she wake Sixteen up at this time? Sixteen was still dreaming about eating meat! Wait...ah...wait for Brother Nine to come back. I will definitely complain to him!"
He yawned halfway through, and just like that, the little guy appeared in front of the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine, Xiao Tongjia, looked at the little guy who was brought in by Nanny Cui He's hand, and said, "Wen Yao, did you ask Nanny Cui He to bring the sixteenth prince here? You..."
Wen Yao had already stood up and walked to the side of the imperial concubine to pull her up, "Come on, let's see if Sixteen, who slept until the sun was shining on his butt, has become a ball!"
"Nineth sister-in-law! I heard everything! You were still saying bad things about Sixteen in front of the royal mother. Ahhhh... watch out, ha~" Little Sixteen shook off the hand that was holding Nanny Cui He, then took one foot forward as if doing a horse stance, put a fist in front, and with a "ha" sound, rushed towards Wen Yao.
Wen Yao was wearing flat shoes, not pelvic shoes, so her steps were so fast that Xiao Shiliu couldn't catch up. Xiao Shiliu turned around and rushed to the imperial concubine, "Mother, can you help Xiao Shiliu get revenge?"
When Xiao Shiliu ran over, Wen Yao winked at Madam Cui He. Madam Cui He understood her master's intention very well and quickly walked to Qi Rong's side. "Madam Qi, are the flat shoes that my master gave to the imperial concubine still there?"
"I'll get it right away!" Qi Rong turned around quickly and got it soon.
The imperial concubine thought it was against the rules to wear flat shoes, and just looked at Wen Yao and Xiao Shiliu who were running over there. She looked at Wen Yao's shoes, stunned for a moment, gritted her teeth and changed into flat shoes. After she put them on, Wen Yao quickened her pace!
At this time, Xiao Shiliu threw himself on the imperial concubine, seeking help. Xiao Shiliu pulled the imperial concubine towards Wen Yao and blinked his big eyes at Wen Yao. It can only be said that this pair of sister-in-law and brother cooperated very well!
About quarter of an hour later, the imperial concubine was already out of breath, but Wen Yao and Xiao Shiliu seemed fine. However, Xiao Shiliu covered his stomach and said he was hungry!
"Those are cold. Madam Qi, have someone change them. Sixteen, come here. Let's wash our faces first and rest for a while before using them!" The imperial concubine took Sixteen's little hand and slowly walked into the house.
"Your Majesty, please take care of Little Sixteen after he has breakfast and then send him back. I'll be leaving first!" Wen Yao waved her hand and left.
The imperial concubine didn't even raise her head. "Let's go," she said to Little Sixteen, "It would be early if your ninth sister-in-law could arrive at your mother's place in Yikun Palace in an hour."
"Hahaha...Ninth Sister-in-law is always going everywhere. She told the Empress that if she didn't leave the prince's residence for a day, she would be like a prisoner," Little Sixteen laughed secretly with her hands covering her mouth. Ninth Sister-in-law also likes to eat while listening to people talking, making a crunching sound. Every time he follows Ninth Sister-in-law, his belly becomes round. Mother always says that he will eat like a ball sooner or later if he follows Ninth Sister-in-law!
Jiusao also said that he could eat it himself, no! Jiusao brought this!
After the imperial concubine took little Sixteen to wash up, breakfast was served again. Qi Rong saw that although his master was taking care of little Sixteen, she also ate a lot herself, even more than the usual breakfast!
Qi Rong seemed to understand what the Ninth Concubine meant. His master would not want to snatch the royal heir from another palace to raise, but there was no pregnant concubine in Chengqian Palace yet.
The imperial concubine personally sent little Sixteen back to Jixiang Palace, and she stayed with Concubine He for a long time. In fact, it was usually in accordance with the rules for concubines of lower rank to go to concubines of higher rank. The imperial concubine never thought that one day she would break the rules!
But this time she was really willing to do it, and she didn't even regret it!
The Imperial Concubine told Hepin that she would not take a child from any palace to raise. She told Hepin what happened today and smiled, "I originally wanted not to explain, but after thinking about it, I am afraid that everyone will misunderstand Wen Yao. That child has a pure heart. I am also very happy this morning."
The imperial concubine also presented rewards to Concubine He and Concubine Wang, saying, "This is also a small token of my appreciation."
"Thank you, Imperial Concubine," Hepin brought Noble Lady Wang to express her gratitude. After Hepin sat down again, she smiled and said, "In fact, Wenyao also knows the personalities of me and Noble Lady Wang. In fact, I and Noble Lady Wang like to be quiet. Usually, Xiao Shiliu usually goes everywhere with Wenyao. He will go to the upper study next year. If Imperial Concubine doesn't mind, you can let Xiao Shiliu go to Chengqian Palace more often. I'd also like to trouble Imperial Concubine to take care of him. This child can't be idle for a moment!"
When Hepin said this, she glanced at Noble Lady Wang. Just as Hepin finished speaking, Noble Lady Wang also spoke, "Madam Hepin is right, Noble Concubine. Actually, Sixteen wanted to bother you before, but I was afraid of disturbing your peace. I thought you and I like peace as much as you do. I hope Noble Concubine will forgive me. Today, I heard that Noble Concubine likes Sixteen so much. If you don't mind, I won't be able to control Sixteen in the future."
"Are you serious? Isn't it to make me feel at ease? Concubine He, Noble Lady Wang, I really won't snatch the child away from you. If you really like quietness, I will take more care of Sixteen. Sixteen is very cute," Imperial Concubine Tonggiya was a little excited. Actually, she didn't like those children very much, but it was really nice for little Sixteen to make trouble occasionally.
Hepin smiled, "You might as well ask Wenyao, Sister Imperial Concubine. She knows very well. Sister Imperial Concubine, just take Sixteen out. I and Concubine Wang don't know how to thank you, Sister Imperial Concubine!"
Concubine Wang was naturally grateful, but as for whether she liked quietness or not, that all depended on her own opinion!
She knew very well that it would be beneficial for her sons to let them have more contact with high-ranking concubines and cultivate good relationships!
What's more, the imperial concubine has no children. If she really cultivates a good relationship...
Concubine Wang looked very happy and relieved, as if Little Sixteen was a hot potato!
And Hepin's smile deepened a little. She could use Sixteen to build a good relationship with the Imperial Concubine of Chengqian Palace, which would be beneficial to her in every way, so why not do it!
Wen Yao didn’t know what was going on here, but she knew that the people in Jixiang Palace wouldn’t be stupid and would definitely seize this opportunity!
After all, Little Sixteen will go to the study next year. Even if he is given to the Imperial Concubine to raise, so what? Concubine He and Noble Lady Wang must have mentioned this before!
Wen Yao would not really act as a matchmaker, but this was an opportunity. By doing so, she was doing several favors and also found a royal concubine playmate for Xiao Shiliu!
Wen Yao came out of Chengqian Palace and went to Zhongcui Palace. After all, Zhongcui Palace was just on the north side of Chengqian Palace. Since she was passing by, she might as well go there!
"Third sister-in-law?"
