Jin Wang Dotes on His Concubine

Mammy Mu looked at side consort Hu, knowing everything.

Probably because she came from the Imperial Palace, this insight hidden beneath the surface is subtle and mysterious.

Side consort Hu had this kind of feeling, so she was extremely on pins and needles.

“Did Wangye agree?”

Her words made side consort Hu feel a little embarrassed but she also knew that she has to succeed in reaching an agreement with Mammy Mu in order to achieve her purpose.

She went to Zhaohui Hall twice before but she wasn’t even allowed to enter the door. All this caused her to panic and she even wondered if Consort Jin knew something, otherwise she would not do so much as to send Cuizhu back for no reason.

She absolutely cannot fall out of favor.

Once she falls out of favor, it is enough for consort Jin and concubine Feng to skin her alive.

And with this thought side consort Hu clutched her hands under her sleeves and started to cry. She cried so sadly with a sense of desolation and uneasiness that she couldn’t even care about her dignity.

She didn’t choose to hide her emotions for the sake of face but said that she accidentally offended Jin Wang last night without any specific details.

This incident is not a secret to Mammy Mu. Although she was not in the small building at that time, she soon heard about it.

Sometimes even Mammy Mu doesn’t understand what Jin Wang is thinking but this won’t prevent her from doing something of her own will. Side consort Hu is stupid that she often offends Jin Wang. However, since Wangye is willing to visit her and has done many things for her, Mammy Mu should give her a push.

She glanced at Side consort Hu’s stomach and slowly said, “Since you miss the little princess, you can take her for one night. I’ll ask Yuyan to help you get things ready and you can take wet nurse Su with you.”

Side consort Hu immediately smiled through her tears and said: “Thank you, Mammy Mu.”

In the east room, Yaoniang was giving the little princess a massage and naturally heard the movement outside.

This was the first time she heard the side consort Hu’s cry. To be honest, Yaoniang was so surprised as if she saw a beast, because she thought side consort Hu was always been arrogant. Even if Jin Wang doted on Yaoniang in the previous life, side consort Hu never showed any white feather.

Yuyan walked in and whispered to Yaoniang that she needs to go to Liuchun Pavilion tonight.

Yaoniang is just a wet nurse. She could only obey.

In fact, there is nothing to pack. After giving birth to the little princess, side consort Hu deliberately ordered servants to clean the west room and separately prepared a room with everything necessary for her. She wanted to keep her daughter by her side.

Instead the little princess was brought to the small lateral courtyard and many things were prepared for her again. Things prepared in the west room before were never used so they just need to bring the little princess over.

However, Yuyan still helped Yaoniang pack some diapers and toys up for the little princess. Then Yaoniang cradled the little princess and followed side consort Hu to Liuchun Pavilion.

It is very clean and spotless in the west room and all things prepared for the little princess are put in order. The rosewood cabinet facing the corner is filled with various small toys. Some of them were not even available in the market (yet).

Some toys were prepared by side consort Hu herself and some were sent by consort Jin. Of course, some toys were collected by Jin Wang from all over.

Jin Wang seriously loves this daughter very much.

The maidservants in the Liuchun Pavilion are also very attentive to Yaoniang. They address wet nurse Su beaming with joy all over their face. In her previous life, they treated Yaoniang indifferently and laughed at her in Liuchun Pavilion. So she was surprised because she never saw them treat her this way (in this manner).

She was surprised but not dumbfounded. After all, this life is very different from the previous.

Yaoniang didn’t see Cuizhu but she knew why. Previously, Cuizhu was punished with standing still under the sun for more than an hour. She suffered from heatstroke and couldn’t get out of bed.

Everyone in the small lateral courtyard knew about this and had also discussed it. Naturally, Yaoniang also knew.

It has been a hundred days since the little princess was born and she is no longer willing to stay alone anymore. She always looks around while being held by the maids. She is interested in everything given by others. Even a rattle drum could attract her attention for half a day.

Yaoniang put a rattle drum in her hand. The little princess often exercises her grasping ability these days so she could take it securely and shake it in her hand to make a thumping sound ‘bang, bang, bang’.

The little princess couldn’t help but squint and then look at the toy in her hand again. She bursts into laughter and waved it even more .

Everyone in the Liuchun Pavilion, including side consort Hu, naturally laughed as well. The merriment in the Liuchun Pavilion swept away the heavy atmosphere from before.

Side consort Hu didn’t stay for a long time but hurried out with others.

Yaoniang wondered if she will head to Zhaohui Hall.

Would Jin Wang come?

Of course, Jin Wang would come.

Inexplicably, Yaoniang understands this.

In Zhaohui Hall, Jin Wang is reading some confidential letters in the inner study room.

Fucheng walked in lightly with almost no noise.

Jin Wang still looked up at him. Fucheng reported, “Wangye, side consort Hu is waiting outside the door.”

Jin Wang frowned.

Fucheng stooped halfway and continued: “Side consort Hu went to the small lateral courtyard. With Mammy Mu’s consent, she took the little princess to stay overnight at Liuchun Pavilion.”

So naturally it went without saying that Jin Wang also understood side consort Hu’s intention.

“Side consort Hu invites you to have dinner at Liuchun Pavilion tonight.”

Silence fell in the room. Jin Wang continued to read the confidential letter in his hand.

Afterwards, he frowned but didn’t lift up his head, “Let her go back. I will go there tonight.”

“Yes.”

Upon hearing the words of Jin Wang, side consort Hu’s face lit up with happiness.

Fucheng looked at her departing figure and sighed.

Sometimes she’s stupid but other times she’s smart on trivial matters. At least side consort Hu knows some of Jin Wang’s thoughts and also understands what she is relying on.

No matter whether living well or not, relying on someone or something is important for surviving in this world.

Fucheng dusted the corners of his sleeves and squinted at the distant sky.

Darkness has fallen, yet Liuchun Pavilion is brightly lit.

The maids are all well-dressed with a happy smile on their faces.

In the room, side consort Hu is already holding the little princess in her arms. She is dressed in a pristine manner today. She had a watery-red silk summer top on and wearing light-coloured makeup. She didn’t wear any jewelry except for a simple jade hairpin in her bun.

Nobody has seen side consort Hu this way before. She is less dazzling and beautiful but looks very tender and demure.

The little princess in her arms is wearing red clothes made of cotton, the style is simple but the texture is soft. She wears a bellyband of the same color, which makes her look white and cute.

Yaoniang took the time to sew these clothes for her.

It’s not suitable for a baby girl to wear clothes with too many patterns on a hot day. Those clothes look gorgeous but are not suitable for such a little baby, the fabric may hurt her skin. So Yaoniang tried to make a nice and breathable set which would not scratch the delicate skin of the little princess. Even if the weather is hot, the little princess neither gets heat rashes nor catches cold. Mammy Mu simply allowed Yaoniang to do what she wants.

Side consort Hu smiled and praised Yaoniang that she took care of the little princess well and all maidservants nearby naturally followed.

Yaoniang felt she is living in a dream. People who previously looked at her fiercely and talked boisterously completely changed their faces in this life, which really makes her have the illusion of “things still being there but the humans are no longer the same”.

A little girl rushed in and announced that Wangye arrived.

Side consort Hu immediately held up the little princess and led a large group of people to welcome him outside.

In the courtyard, the glazed palace lanterns are lit under the eaves of the veranda, which illuminated all around even the bright moon and stars in the sky are dim.

Jin Wang is wearing a dark blue robe embroidered with dark patterns. He approached the place with one hand behind his back. Fucheng following right behind.

Under the light, Jin Wang looked eloquent and handsome like a god from the heavens.

Yaoniang saw side consort Hu lose her breath for a few minutes and then went to greet him with a bit of delight on her face.

“Wangye.”
