The most beautiful lady in the harem

Chapter 344 Brother and sister

The Empress Dowager glared at Emperor Yongjia. At her age, she acted like a girl only in front of her grandson.

"What you said is just nonsense."

But after saying this, the Grand Empress Dowager continued, "Hurry up and ask someone to check if Qin's brown sugar ginger water is ready. It's very cold today, I really need to take some supplements to warm myself up."

Emperor Yongjia then knew that the Empress Dowager had let the matter go, so he called his old aunt in and asked her to call Qin Liuse over.

This matter was just like that, hanging high up and then falling lightly.

When Qin Liuse returned from Kangning Palace that day, she realized that the Empress Dowager really loved her grandson, Emperor Yongjia.

He convinced the old man with just a few words. Isn't that amazing?

However, after being scolded by the Empress Dowager, Qin Liuse naturally did not dare to hang out with Emperor Yongjia for a while.

She could not control Emperor Yongjia, but she could control herself, so in the next few days, she did not go to the imperial study to show her courtesy.

I was afraid that the fire would be extinguished and then fanned up again, which would be really embarrassing in front of the Empress Dowager.

From then on, after leaving Zhaoyang Palace, Qin Liuse kept reminding herself to be dignified and elegant, for fear that others would find fault with her again.

After leaving Zhaoyang Palace, every move made Qin Liuse feel a little tired, but the days passed one by one. In March, the two babies suddenly learned to sit up. The differences between the little prince and the little princess every day made Qin Liuse's fatigue lessen a lot.

Qin Liuse was busy on weekdays and didn't have much time to look after the two children, so once she returned to Zhaoyang Palace, she almost kept an eye on them.

The brother and sister seemed to be competing with each other. Today, they were helped by the wet nurse and sat up tremblingly. This time, they actually sat steadily!

Qin Liuse happened to see it. Not only was she in disbelief, but the little princess and the little prince were also very surprised and looked around at their young age.

Because the scenery you can see when sitting up is completely different from that when lying or lying on the bed, after adapting for a while, the two babies seemed to react and knew that they had made progress.

The brother and sister looked at each other protectively and started giggling again, not knowing whether they knew what each other was laughing at.

Qin Liuse was amused by the two of them. She kissed them on the cheek again and again, feeling that no matter what she did, she could never kiss them enough.

By April, the grass was green and the birds were singing. The little princess and the prince had already learned to crawl.

"Patta, patatta" they moved on all fours, as slowly as a turtle at first, but after crawling for a long time their limbs became stronger, and they twisted their hips and chased each other on the bed.

At first they crawled on the bed, but by the end of April and the beginning of May, the weather had become warm, so Qin Liuse had someone open his private storehouse and took out the precious Persian carpet that Emperor Yongjia had previously rewarded him, and then laid two layers of carpets on the floor of the hall.

This way they can crawl around on the floor without worrying about falling off the bed.

I was happy for a few months, but by June, things became a bit difficult.

The brother and sister started to grow teeth one after another, and they also developed fever one after another.

Concubine Ning had told Qin Liuse earlier that the little baby was most likely to have a fever when he was teething.

Qin Liuse took precautions day and night and had never been sick since she was born. She didn't expect that the teething fever was really impossible to prevent.

The little baby couldn't bear the pain. When he got a fever and felt extremely uncomfortable, he kept babbling. Qin Liuse also felt uncomfortable and really wished that the pain would be felt on himself.

On the other hand, she was still laughing and teasing the two children, "This mother gave birth to you, but she can't help you to endure the hardships. Mother also went through this when she was young. There is always a first time. Once you get through it, our Yingjie and Ruige will grow up!"

These two names were given by Emperor Yongjia. After calling them for a long time, the two seemed to understand each other and babbled, and it was unclear whether they were feeling uncomfortable or trying to talk.

Emperor Yongjia came several times. Seeing Qin Liuse's state, he comforted her, rubbed her hair, looked at the two children and said, "It's just a tooth, what's the big deal? Look how hard your mother has been suffering..."

Qin Liuse turned around and patted Emperor Yongjia unceremoniously, her eyebrows raised, "Don't scare my child!"

Emperor Yongjia raised his eyebrows. Seeing Qin Liuse's serious look, he stood up and raised his hand to surrender, saying, "You can't suffer for them, and I can't suffer for you. You don't have to worry so much. Eat when you need to and sleep when you need to. Don't look back. The two kids are fine, and they've worn you out."

Qin Liuse loves his children, while Emperor Yongjia loves his woman.

Just like that, the little prince's fever died down and then it was his sister's turn.

Therefore, in this June, Qin Liuse spent more than half of her time in Zhaoyang Palace, accompanying her two children.

In July, when the summer heat was at its hottest, Qin Liuse, except for taking the child out for a walk in the morning and evening, spent the rest of her time in Zhaoyang Palace accompanying the child to escape the heat.

It's not hot in the morning, just a little warm, and it's just right for you to bask in the not-too-scorching sunlight.

Yingjie'er and Ruige'er are almost one year old now. Although they are young, they are very smart. Every day when they wake up, they want to crawl outside and can't stay in the house. They know that Qin Liuse will take them out, so they have developed a habit.

He went out to stroll around the garden every day, sometimes paid his respects to the Empress Dowager, and took his two children to play with the old lady, sometimes visited the Empress Dowager Cixi, and sometimes visited the Empress Dowager Dong.

The old man was so happy to see the two smiling, chubby little babies who looked just like them.

And every time she left the palace, because she had two children, it was not as convenient as Qin Liuse going out alone. One child was accompanied by a wet nurse and a maid, so when the group went out, it was always a grand procession.

Qin Liuse thought that if she could get through these two summer months, things would be different.

Although this summer season is hot for people in the capital, it is the best time to return to the capital from afar.

In winter and spring, there is either a lot of snow or a lot of rain, with thunder and rain, making the roads difficult to walk on, rivers surging, and mountains prone to landslides.

Therefore, late summer and autumn are the seasons when business and travel are most frequent.

There are endless carriages and horses on the official road, busy ships on the canal, and the docks are operating day and night.

Yan Shouyu's train convoy traveled eastward in a mighty manner, and returned to the capital from the northwest at the end of July.

Yuan Jiuer also returned to Beijing with him.

When Qin Liuse heard the news, she was so surprised that her mouth was wide open. She had been busy with her children and the Empress Dowager this year and almost forgot about the missing Yuan Jiuer.

What surprised her even more was that this time Yuan Jiuer accompanied Yan Shouyu back to Beijing with a baby in her arms.
