Chapter 474 Hidden worries
It was chilly in spring, but the floor heating in the inner room and the fire in the fumigation cage were burning very brightly, filling the air with a warm atmosphere that kept out the cold.
Sui Miao held the cooked sea bass soup in her hand, scooped a spoonful and tasted it, "Madam, this soup is just right, it's ready to drink."
Yingshi deftly folded the quilt and placed it on the bedside, then carefully helped the concubine sit up and put a soft pillow under her.
Concubine Miao Yueji raised her head slightly, looked at the fish soup in Sui Miao's hand, pursed her lips, and complained, "Another sea bass soup? It's delicious, but nothing new."
Sui Miao sat on a small stool beside the bed, gently scooped up a spoonful and handed it to Concubine Meng's lips.
"If you are tired of drinking sea bass soup, I will ask the food bureau to cook you something different. But if you don't want to drink today's soup, it won't be a waste."
She joked.
The soup cooked by the Imperial Food Bureau would not be served in just one bowl. From the whole pot of soup, Concubine Zhen would only drink a small bowl, and the rest was made by the group of palace maids and eunuchs who served them closely.
Miao Yueji smiled and gave Sui Miao a glare, then took the bowl and said, "Humph! Who said I don't drink? I'll drink it myself."
At the end of the year, when he saw Concubine Zhen drinking soup, he lowered his hands and was in a daze. When he looked at Concubine Zhen again, the words "wanting to say something but hesitant" were written all over his face.
"What? The soup is poisonous and I can't drink it?" Miao Yueji paused as she scooped the soup.
Sui Miao raised her head and glanced around, then pulled Xiaozi closer and whispered, "Your Highness, why do you still want to get involved with Shunpin?"
She didn't dare mention the eldest prince Qin Mingyu, and only mentioned Shunpin Shi Qingzhang.
"What you said might as well be the soup is poisonous." Miao Yueji rolled her eyes and continued drinking the soup.
"Miss!"
Sui Miao stamped his feet lightly.
It was no joke that the imperial concubine was involved with an adult prince who was not her own daughter.
"Didn't I sit in front of you and watch you write the letter? What do you think is wrong now?"
"There's nothing wrong with the content of the letter, but handing it to the eldest prince is inappropriate."
"You were the one who delivered the letter to Shunpin, right? Do you think it's inappropriate now?" Miao Yueji smiled and looked at the dark circles under Sui Miao's eyes. "Did you scare yourself so much that you couldn't sleep the whole night?"
"It's not just last night. I haven't slept well these past two nights."
Miao Yueji sighed softly, and she said helplessly: "The letter was written at Shunpin's request. We didn't deliver it to the eldest prince ourselves, but it was sent out through Shunpin's hands."
"There is not a single ambiguous word in the letter that could lead to misunderstanding. It only contains advice from a mother to her children. Just relax."
A stepmother is also a mother, and His Majesty knows about her relationship with the eldest prince in their previous lives, right? Regardless of whether His Majesty believes it or not, she has confessed it to His Majesty.
Even if Your Majesty believes that she is trying to maintain her image in her past and present lives, it would be too cold-hearted for her to allow the eldest prince to fall into the quagmire and remain indifferent.
This was all Miao Yueji could do for the eldest prince - some money and advice, nothing more.
In her previous life, she gave birth to the eldest prince at the cost of her life. In this life, she has a younger son. Of two sons, the younger son is naturally given more importance.
"Instead of worrying about this, why don't you help me to visit the little prince and the little princess more often? By the way, you have to take better care of the little princess in the future. I'm afraid someone will bully her."
Although the Thirteenth Princess was not born to her, she took the blame for the premature birth of the Fourteenth Prince, who was born to her.
Both children were born full-term. Many people saw how they were born, and the rumors were the most tormenting.
"Yes, Madam." Sui Miao nodded, sighed, and said worriedly, "Madam, please don't associate with Shunpin anymore. She is so weird. Should I come to you to ask about the eldest prince's affairs?"
