Chapter 18

  Mingyue suddenly moved into the palace, causing countless speculation among the imperial consorts. In order to verify their own thoughts, many people made various attempts to probe during visits to pay respects.

  The appearance of Mingyue is not bad, it's similar to the current popular Uya nobleman. Having one Uya nobleman already makes people vomit blood, what's the point of having another one with an even higher status?

  Yi Pin stroked her already prominent belly and smiled: "The second young lady has moved in, I'm afraid I didn't show enough courtesy. It's just some clothes and accessories, I'll have them sent over to the second young lady soon. I only prepared a few things, I don't know how long the noble second young lady will be staying? I can only hope to keep each other company for a long time!"

  Rong Pinn also chimed in: "Who says it's not? The more people, the merrier!"

  Wuya was worried that someone would snatch her favorite, and she wanted to speak up, but after being glared at by Mingfei, she swallowed the words she wanted to say and stood obediently aside with her head down.

  Mingfei smiled warmly: "You all have a conscience." But she absolutely refused to mention how long Mingyue would be staying.

  Although many people can't help but feel a little disappointed, they seem to be more convinced that Mingyue will stay for a longer period of time. Otherwise, why would the noble consort avoid talking about it? It must be that in the future, eight or nine out of ten times, she will enter the palace. Thinking this way, everyone's minds were stirred up.

  Xiangzhuang also had her own news network, but she didn't find out much. Kangxi didn't tell her, and she wouldn't go ask him herself, but she could still guess some of the general idea. However, it never occurred to her that Mingyue was temporarily playing the role of a fortune teller. The only thing Xiangzhuang could think of was that Mingyue must have done something wrong, such as having an affair with the Emperor.

  But no matter how he thought about it, he just pretended to know nothing and treated Mingyue as if she had really come to the palace to accompany Mingfei, politely inquiring about her daily life.

  Emperor Kangxi arrived with the Crown Prince again, and everyone ended the topic of Mingyue.

  The young prince sat beside Empress Dowager Ci Xi, but his eyes were fixed on Mingfei. Ci Xi smiled and said, "But you also want to follow Noble Consort Yu to see your fourth brother?"

  The little prince's eyes lit up, but he turned his head to look at Kangxi's expression. Seeing that Kangxi's expression was normal, he opened his mouth and said: "Yinrui wants to go see the fourth brother, and doesn't know how big the fourth brother is now. Yinrui...". He probably didn't remember very clearly, stopped for a moment to think, then continued: "It has been twenty-five days since Yinrui last saw the fourth brother, and he doesn't know how big he is now."

  The little prince's serious look was really too cute, and Empress Dowager Ci Xi smiled and said: "Alright, soon I'll have the Imperial Consort take you to see your fourth brother. You can teach him what you've learned from books and be a little teacher for a while, how about that?"

  The little prince smiled and showed a mouthful of milky white teeth, nodding heavily, and also because of Xiaozhuang's thoughtfulness, he involuntarily moved closer to Xiaozhuang.

  The imperial concubines watched as the crown prince not only liked Mingfei, but also had a liking for the fourth prince that was hard to hide. For a moment, they all admired Mingfei's tactics, after all, in this harem, the greatest threat to the crown prince was indeed Mingfei and her son.

  As they left Cining Palace, Mingfei was holding the little prince's hand on their way back. The young prince would often say unexpected things to Mingfei.

  "Your Highness, does Fourth Brother still like eating other people's fingers?"

  "Yes, he is still like that, always drooling."

  "Still drooling?! Then he still won't speak and won't study with me?"

  "He can't speak yet, but he already knows what he likes and dislikes. If he's willing to let the prince hold him for a while, it means he still likes the prince."

  The little prince's small chest puffed out involuntarily: "Gu is his brother, he must like Gu!" But these words seemed more like self-encouragement.

  Mingfei smiled slightly: "Right, he will definitely like the prince."

  Little Abao didn't give face, Little Prince stretched out his hand to hug Abao, Abao disdainfully hid far away, stretched out his arm and pointed at Mingfei, indicating that he wanted Mingfei to hug him. The Little Prince saw that he couldn't get his little brother's favor, pouted his small mouth, with a look of being on the verge of tears.

  Mingfei looked at them with a smile, one arm around Abao and the other holding Taizi's small hand: "Just now everything was fine, how did it become like this in an instant?"

  Abao didn't let the little prince hug him, but stretched out his hand to pull the prince's ear. The little prince was also temperamental and hummed a sound, standing far away and not letting Abao touch his ear.

  Mingfei pinched the little prince's chubby hand: "He's still young, many things can't be understood clearly, the prince is a brother, is a big child, don't generalize him, okay?"

  The little prince looked at Ming Fei with a hint of grievance and nodded in compromise: "But it seems that younger brother doesn't quite like Gu."

  Mingfei hugged Abao and got up, holding the little prince's hand to walk outside: "No one will like anyone without reason, people's relationships are slowly developed through getting along with each other. Let's go sit in the pavilion for a while, how about the prince reads a book to Abao?"

  "How can that little brother like me?"

  "Abao actually likes Taizi too, the brothers have a blood relationship, just like Taizi will like Abao, Abao will also like Taizi, it's okay to take it slow."

  The little prince nodded as if he understood but didn't really understand.

  The prince has recognized many words and read a book " Hundred Family Surnames" although not very smoothly, but with the help of Mingfei, he continued to read. Abao looked quieter than before, and Xiao Taizi felt that his younger brother was willing to listen to him reading books, comforting himself that his younger brother still liked him, so he put aside what had happened earlier.

  After reading for a while, Mingfei took him for another walk in the yard. The nanny beside them felt that it was almost time and reminded Mingfei.

  The young prince hung his head and neither said it was good nor bad, but everyone could see that he was unwilling to leave. The nanny looked at Mingfei with some difficulty.

  Mingfei held the little prince's hand and said softly, "Prince, listen to me. Next time you come, your imperial father and ancestors will also agree. If you don't return on time, if your imperial father gets angry and doesn't let you come next time, what will you do?"

  The young prince may not necessarily understand the meaning of this, but he also knows that he should listen. After thinking for a moment, he said seriously: "The imperial concubine must tell my younger brother that I am his older brother, and he must remember me and like me!"

  The prince is still young, but the strong consciousness of being a ruler has already begun to emerge. Ming Fei sighed in her heart, this rare and pure emotion would probably not last for long.

  She smiled and nodded: "Abao will definitely like Taizi."

  Mingfei carried Abao back to the palace, watching as a group of people surrounded the crown prince and walked away. Abao was already tired and resting his head on Mingfei's shoulder. Mingfei kissed her son and gave him some space water, coaxing him to sleep before handing him over to the wet nurse.

  Sangzhi continued to massage Mingfei's legs as usual, while Peiyu stared at the person below and made a bowl of hawthorn cake for Mingfei: "The master used too much last night, have some hawthorn cake."

  The red hawthorn cake in the green jade bowl looked crystal clear, and Mingfei took a bite: "It tastes good."

  "Master likes it, that's all that matters."

  The queen mother endured and finally spoke: "Master, in the future when you have meals, be more careful, your body is what's most important."

  Mingfei just ordered a few more dishes than usual, but only ate three bites of each. Wang's nanny was anxious and said: "Nanny is right, I won't do it again in the future."

  It's probably because Mingfei's attitude was too good, and Wang Ayi felt a bit nervous, explaining: "The slave is just..."

  Mingfei smiled and shook her head: "Auntie doesn't need to say anything, I know Auntie's heart." Then she turned to ask Peihuan beside her: "Has the second young lady gotten up yet?"

  "Second Miss just got out of bed and was in a bad mood during breakfast because she could only eat three mouthfuls of one dish, now she's sulking in her room."

  Mingfei thinks this Mingyue still has a lot of potential for being cute.

  She rubbed her temples and asked about Lan Xiang's situation over the past few days. Kangxi had issued a decree to marry Lan Xiang off to Nuomutu, and since then, Lan Xiang rarely left her own room. Mingfei had someone send some fruit to Lan Xiang, but after thinking for a moment, she felt that there was nothing else she needed to do, so she dismissed the servant and entered her space.

  There's actually nothing interesting in this space, but being here makes her feel deeply relaxed, even the air is extremely likable.

  On the desk was the latest fashion magazine from when she arrived, the female model on the cover looked really distant, almost blurred into a dream. On the clothes rack hung a white fox fur coat that was one of her favorite clothes. She held a high-heeled cup of freshly squeezed juice and sat slowly on the sofa.

  Momo was too lonely, and as soon as she came in, she would be extremely excited. Mingfei thought that since she had raised her, she should take responsibility for it. She took Momo to the woods for a walk. The most beautiful scenery in the world is always the most natural one. She thought that when she was free, she should bring Abao here to play around too.

  The things that happened last month made her realize she should take action. To save her life, she could completely overturn her beliefs, or maybe she was just not a strong enough person.

  Yi Pin was indeed a restless person, and despite her pregnancy, she took the trouble to visit Ming Yue. When she saw that almost everyone around Ming Yue were people of Kang Xi, Ming Fei's pupils suddenly constricted, and her tone became somewhat dry: "Second Miss is an honored guest, if I didn't come to pay my respects, it would be impolite."

  The bright moon had obviously converged a lot and was almost silent, quietly sitting beside Minfei.

  Mingfei covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled lightly: "You're always like this, either too polite or too distant. Your body is so heavy now, just take good care of yourself and don't go out for a walk casually."

  Yi Pin's expression no longer showed much of a clue, but the still furrowed handkerchief revealed that her heart was not calm.

  The reason why everyone didn't think of anywhere else about Mingyue's situation is that no one expected that what happened to Mingyue was actually a supernatural event. Only such an unexpected thing can explain why Mingyue did stupid things but is still alive, and why there are only Kangxi people around her. Otherwise, the more you think about it, the more biased you will be.

  After seeing off Yipin, Rongpin arrived. Their performances were almost identical, but Rongpin's smile seemed more genuine, as if she didn't care at all: "I don't know what kind of jewelry the second miss likes? I happen to have a few pieces that were just made, and if there is one that the second miss likes, I will send it over, which is also my intention."

  The bright moon whispered softly: "Princess Rong is too polite, I don't have anything to repay, and I dare not trouble Princess Rong."

  Rong Pinniang smiled lightly and said: "What's good about this? I actually don't have anything else to show for it?"

  Ming Fei smiled and said: "There will be...".

  She only said half a sentence, but seemed to think of something and suddenly stopped, changing the subject to say something else. But just this half sentence was enough to make Rong Hou's heart turn upside down. If nothing unexpected happens, Ming Yue is going to stay in the harem with them to share favors.

  The author has something to say: I'm so tired, my eyes can't even open. I've only revised it once, so there should be more bugs that slipped through the net. Please forgive me, beautiful people. Also, who knows how many years older Jia Yuanchun is than Jia Baoyu? The Red Chamber crowd should show their faces now O(∩_∩)O~, scattering flowers~~~~
