Chapter 682: To the Little Newborn Brother
Jiang Jinyan's eyes also turned red. He held his daughter's hand and wondered how his lovely Xiaochu had become like this.
Jiang Ruochu saw his father crying too, so he wiped away his tears with one hand and wiped away Zhang Yumo's tears with the other hand, and comforted him: "The imperial physician said that Xiaochu will get better after drinking the medicine. Xiaochu will drink the medicine obediently. Xiaochu is not afraid of needles or pain. Daddy, Mommy, don't cry."
Jiang Jinyan held them in his arms, "Daddy didn't cry, Xiaochu will definitely get better, Xiaochu is the best."
Feng Jingyuan left the space to Jiang Jinyan's family of three. Yu Mo came, and Xiao Chu finally felt a little better.
When Zhang Yumo was in a coma, Xiaochu knew from the moment she started talking and learning to walk that the person lying on the bed was her dearest mother. She even imitated the maids and washed her face, wiped her hands and massaged her, doing it very well.
Seeing Zhang Yumo caring about Xiaochu, Feng Jingyuan shed tears unconsciously. She knew that at the moment when her son and daughter-in-law quarreled, she could do nothing but worry. Now, their relationship seems to be getting better.
Jiang Jinyan saw his mother walking out, "Mom, where are you going?"
"I'm going to see Xiu'er. She also fell into the water while trying to save Xiaochu. She's so young, but she knew how to save Xiaochu at all costs. Mom will go see her." She has been taking care of Jiang Ruchu and has not had the chance to see her granddaughter.
Here, Jiang Ruochu said she was hungry, and Zhang Yumo quickly took the porridge beside her and fed her. The little girl ate it mouthful by mouthful with relish.
The maidservant standing by said, "The imperial physician said that Miss Xiaochu could drink some porridge to reduce her fever and she would be fine. Now that the young lady is here, Miss Xiaochu is in much better spirits."
Zhang Yumo said: "Thank you for taking care of Xiaochu."
"We servants were just helping out and couldn't offer much help. It was Madam Jiang who took care of her personally. Madam Jiang was worried the entire afternoon and didn't even have the mood to eat dinner." said the palace maid.
Zhang Yumo looked at the back figure at the door, her heart was full of guilt. She thought Mrs. Jiang was also hiding the matter from Bai Yuhan, and she even blamed her a little. At this moment, she slapped herself in the face because Mrs. Jiang took care of Xiaochu wholeheartedly and treated her as her own daughter. She must have hurt Mrs. Jiang's heart.
Jiang Ruochu's face was still red after she drank the porridge, but she felt much better. Zhang Yumo wrung out the handkerchief and helped her wipe her body to cool down. "Xiaochu, be good, you'll be fine in a while."
"Xiaochu is very well behaved." Jiang Ruochu added, "It was Sister Yi who pushed me into the water. She was very fierce. Xiaochu doesn't like her."
Zhang Yumo's heart tightened after hearing this, and she smiled and said, "If you don't like it, then don't like it. Xiaochu will be very happy to have Princess Xiu to play with him in the future."
"Xiaochu likes sister Xiu, and sister Xiu also likes Xiaochu." Jiang Ruochu's voice was soft and tender, and her pretty little face was endearing.
Zhang Yumo stared at Jiang Ruochu with the corners of her lips rising unconsciously. How could her daughter be so pretty? She kissed her daughter's face and said, "Mom will stay with you. You should get some sleep. The more you sleep, the better your illness will be."
Jiang Ruochu held her mother's hand and stared at Zhang Yumo with hope in her eyes, "Mom, can you give Xiaochu a brother, a brother like Yuan'er?"
When Zhang Yumo heard this, her cheeks turned red. Although she already had Jiang Ruchu's child, she had never had that kind of experience in her memory.
Jiang Ruochu is the child of her and Jiang Jinyan in this life, not hers. She said, "Xiaochu, stop talking."
"Can I please agree to Xiaochu's request? Xiaochu likes a younger brother." Jiang Ruochu said coquettishly, "Sister Xiu said that if Daddy kisses Mommy, Mommy will give birth to a younger brother."
The palace maids standing aside were blushing as they listened. Why had Princess Xiu never said such things to them? Did Princess Xiu have to do this because she saw the emperor and the empress kissing often? The palace maids also blushed.
Zhang Yumo glanced at the palace maid and became more and more embarrassed. She was at a loss and didn't know how to explain to Xiaochu that she couldn't kiss Jiang Jinyan and give birth to a younger brother for her.
The image of Jiang Jinyan holding her fingers tightly suddenly popped up in her mind. She snuggled in his arms and he comforted her softly.
"Xiaochu, go to sleep quickly. Mother will be back soon." She asked the palace maid to help look after her daughter. She touched Jiang Ruchu's body and forehead, and found that they were not as hot as before.
At the beginning, Jiang Ruchu couldn't sleep all the time. She took medicine, had injections, and woke up crying, so she was in a bad mood. She felt better when she saw Zhang Yumo.
After drinking the rice porridge and seeing her mother, she felt relieved and closed her eyes and went to sleep.
The maid said, "Young Madam, don't worry. We are here to watch over you. When the Queen left, she also instructed the people in Kunning Palace to take good care of the young master. We are also very scared of what happened during the day, so we dare not slack off."
Another maid explained, "No one thought that the little princess of the Fourth Princess would push someone into the water. Later, the little princess was not injured and cried for a long time in the yard. Everyone was shocked. At that time, Miss Xiaochu was unconscious, and the Fourth Princess did not even go into the room to check. I didn't expect the Fourth Princess to be so cruel."
Another palace maid quickly pulled her back and signaled her to stop talking, saying that the Fourth Princess and Madam Jiang had the same surname and were cousins.
Madam Jiang Shao was really unlucky. No one had expected that the kind and amiable Fourth Princess who didn't like to talk much would be such a hard-hearted person. They were servants and didn't dare to say anything. They could only sigh in their hearts that human hearts were really unfathomable.
Zhang Yumo didn't expect her cousin to be like this. The cousin in her memory was definitely not that kind of person. She did take care of her often in the past. The entire Zhang family, except for her grandparents, her third uncle, third aunt, and Sister Rou were all very friendly to her. When others scolded her for being an orphan and a bad luck to her father and mother, it was always Sister Rou who helped her.
Although her father was the eldest son of the Zhang family, he served in the army and was a military commander. He was the last one in the family to get married. Zhang Yurou was born early and was the eldest sister, so everyone respected her very much.
Especially after she married the Fourth Prince and became his princess consort, her status and position became even more noble than others, and people respected her like a bodhisattva.
Zhang Yumo was really hungry, and suddenly remembered that Jiang Jinyan was also hungry. When she came out and didn't see him, she thought he and Madam Jiang went to Princess Xuan's room, so she found a palace maid and asked, "Excuse me, where is the kitchen? I want to go to the kitchen to cook a bowl of noodles."
The maid said, "I'll ask the kitchen maid to bring it over. Madam, have you not had dinner yet? The front palace is holding a Lantern Festival banquet. Hasn't Madam had dinner yet?"
The palace maids naturally didn't know that she had just come from outside the palace.
Zhang Yumo just felt embarrassed and didn't want to trouble the nanny. "I want to go by myself and make Xiaochu something she likes to eat. She can eat it when she wakes up."
The maid didn't insist, thinking that she wanted to make a midnight snack for her daughter. "Let me take the young lady over!"
"Thank you." Zhang Yumo was very polite.
