Ruyi's sharp armor, which was glowing with a cold light, poked the little princess' chin, making Lingzhi and Yunzhi frightened.

"My Jingsi, you must not be that kind of woman in the future. You must be true to your nature and find a lover to stay with you."

Yunzhi looked at the princess's cheeks, which had lost some of their redness and were sunken by the poke, and could not help but say:

"My Lord, you are worrying too much. The little princess is only a few months old. There is no need to think so far ahead."

She withdrew her hand and closed her eyes.

However, there was a dark cloud in Ruyi's heart, and she didn't want to tell anyone.

The Queen had two princes, Concubine Chun had two, Concubine Jia had four, and she had only given birth to one son, who was snatched away by Lu Muping.

Jingsi should have been a prince, but he became a princess. Now that she has no prince, she has no one to rely on.

Otherwise, why hasn't the emperor come to see her for three months?

Jingsi in the cradle was as thin as a kitten, and even his breath was weak. Ruyi felt that no one would like such a child.

What if, what if Jingsi could become a boy? At least he could look like a boy.

Ruyi was touched by her own intelligence and wisdom. She smiled and said to Lingzhi:

"Lingzhi, look at Jingsi, isn't she like a boy? She must like wearing Yongqi's childhood clothes very much. Hurry up and give them to her to change into."

Lingzhi and Yunzhi looked at each other, and finally Lingzhi asked:

"My Lord, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has also delivered the princess's little clothes. Why don't we change the princess into new ones?"

The two were puzzled. It wasn't like the princess had no clothes to wear, and her jacket was different from that of the princes. So why did she want to wear the twelfth prince's?

Ruyi rocked Jingsi's cradle and said: Just wear Yongji's clothes, and raise Jingsi as a boy. Just think of it as my longing for Yongji."

It was clearly early autumn, but Lingzhi and Yunzhi suddenly felt that something was wrong with the cold.

Ruyi changed Jingsi into a black leopard skin coat that Yongji wore when he was a child, a pair of brown shorts, and found a small melon-shaped hat and put it on Jingsi's head.

Ruyi smiled with satisfaction: "Look, Jingsi and Yongji are so alike, they are really a pair of good brothers. From now on, Jingsi will wear Yongji's clothes. Do you hear me?"

Ruyi was feeling proud when she heard some laughter outside, which seemed to be from Yingpin and Ke Guiren.

During these days, the Empress and Concubine Hui only sent rewards as usual, or asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send supplements, but they never came to visit in person.

However, Yingpin and Ke Guiren came to Jingsi's rescue often, and Ruyi was on guard at first.

But I thought that it would be nice if I could use Jingsi to bring Concubine Ying and Concubine Ke to my side.

Meiruo wore a green gauze dress embroidered with flowers and birds today. Because she had been favored for several days, she looked more radiant than before.

Hu Lin followed closely behind. She and Yingpin had been in the palace for three years, but still could not fit in with Jiafei and Lingfei. So when they had nothing to do, they would come to see Concubine Xian's children.

As time went by, the original one part true love and nine parts calculation actually turned into three parts of liking for Jingsi.

Meiruo came in without caring whether Ruyi greeted her or not. She went straight to the cradle and talked while wanting to see Jingsi.

"Lady Xian, I got some good fabrics and made a bellyband and new clothes for Jingsi. Please change them for her."

Seeing Jingsi's clothes, Meiruo was immediately displeased: "Lady Xian, why did you let Jingsi wear such gray clothes and a man's melon-shaped hat?"

Ruyi motioned Lingzhi and Yunzhi to take the things, then smiled and explained:

"You don't know, we Manchus have a custom that younger children pick up older children's clothes to wear, saying that it can bring good fortune and good health. This is Yongji's clothes, so I put it on Jingsi."

Mei Ruo had no suspicion, so she sat beside the cradle, picked up the rattle, and started teasing the child again.

"Lady Xian, look at Jingsi, she is still too thin. Don't eat all the supplements sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Remember to give some to the nurse so that the princess can absorb the nutrients."

Meiruo was right. After Ruyi gave birth, thanks to the supplements, her originally dry face became plump and her skin tone became much whiter than before.

Ruyi was secretly complaining in her heart, how could she give those precious supplements to the wet nurse who was serving her? Jingsi was a milk drinker and could not absorb these. Yingpin was indeed ignorant, vulgar and mean.

Ruyi looked at the clothes and materials sent by Yingpin, all of which were pink and light blue, and looked unstable.

I still like the ones on Jingsi.

It was drizzling outside. Ruyi thought that it would be better to carry Jingsi to pay respects to the emperor and let the emperor see whether Jingsi was cute or not.

Thinking of this, she found an excuse to send Yingpin and Ke Guiren away, put on a gray cloak, and took Jingsi to the Qianqing Palace.

In front of the Qianqing Palace, Lingzhi held an umbrella for Ruyi, and Yunzhi held the princess. Seeing this, Li Yu sighed, thinking that the princess was so pitiful.

If Concubine Xian was alone, he would have asked her to wait for a while, but he really couldn't bear to let her wait in the cold rain with a child of several months old.

The Emperor was appreciating a painting called "Kuaixue Shiqing Tie" with Empress Shufei.

The emperor placed his seals in a circle on the table and was about to poke one directly upwards with great interest.

Yihuan took a breath of cold air. Wang Xizhi's "Kuaixue Shiqing Tie" only had twenty-eight characters, but the emperor had prepared more than forty seals.

Thinking of her great-uncle's words in the dream and looking at Wang Youjun's calligraphy, Yihuan felt a strong sense of mission. She couldn't just watch this masterpiece become a dog-skin plaster.

Yi Huan took a deep breath and put on a gentle smile: "Your Majesty, I think this calligraphy is good, but the scroll is too short, and you won't be satisfied with it. Why don't we add another piece behind this calligraphy, and you can stamp the blank space at the back, and then we frame it. Wouldn't that be better?"

The emperor thought about it and agreed that, indeed, compared with Wang Youjun's calligraphy, his seal was not inferior in artistic attainments and there would be no problem in connecting them together.

"Hahahaha, my beloved concubine, you are really thoughtful. I will listen to you!"

Yihuan breathed a sigh of relief, thank God, at least the gift from heaven was not wasted.

"Your Majesty, I can't bear to see your seals have nowhere to be stamped."

Yihuan thought:

The emperor loves to write poetry, so it's okay, she indulges him and helps him copy it even if she doesn't like it.

The emperor loves to stamp his seal. It’s okay. She will spoil him and carve the most beautiful one for him.

Because after talking with her great-uncle, her mentality had changed. She went from liking the emperor's talent to bravely admitting that she simply liked the emperor's face.

While the two were praising each other, Li Yu came in and reported that Concubine Xian was outside with the Sixth Princess to seek an audience and ask the Emperor's opinion.

The emperor frowned. He looked out through the open window. It was raining on the banana leaves. The drops of rain hit the window frames, splashing small water droplets.

On rainy days, she takes her several-month-old baby out. She is really amazing.

A self-torture tactic? He just didn't want to pamper Ruyi anymore.

I want to force him to compromise every time. Am I addicted to it?

"Tell Lady Xian that I will not see you. If she dares to stay at the gate of the Qianqing Palace for another moment, I will punish her with the punishment of being hung on the board."

Li Yu told Ruyi exactly what the emperor said. In the drizzle, Ruyi's hunched figure swayed again and again, and she smiled bitterly:

"Your Majesty, are you really so heartless..."

Ruyi pouted again, and for a moment Li Yu was confused as to whether Concubine Xian was the baby or the princess was the baby.

Having said that, she turned and left. As expected, it was because Jingsi was a princess and the emperor still loved the prince.

Qixiang Palace.

Jin Yuyan woke up from another nightmare. She had had this dream three times in this month.

No, she couldn't tell whether this was a dream or reality.

In her dream, she was in a dark and mysterious swamp, locked in an iron cage, surrounded by more than a dozen cages of the same size.

Some of the cages are already rusty and look very old.

Some of the cages are still brand new and are surrounded by colorful cloth.

She recognized those colorful cloths. They were...
