Chapter 580: No need to look, you can feel it with your heart
The prayer mat had already been set out, and Lu Zhenzhen kowtowed with the child.
Among the three children, Doubao and Tangyuan are both five years old. They get enough exercise on weekdays. They kowtow very smoothly and then stand up without anyone's help.
Orange is the youngest and has just recovered from a serious illness.
After bowing three times, he was about to stand up, but his body became unstable, his feet slipped, and he fell flat on his face on the prayer mat.
Fortunately, the prayer mat was big and thick enough, so even though Orange fell on it, at least he was not hurt.
Everyone was startled and rushed forward to help the man up.
Lu Zhenzhen waved her hand.
Seeing Orange lying like this, I probably felt a little dizzy. I was stunned for a while, then I slowly got up and sat down on the prayer mat to come back to my senses.
That confused look is so adorable.
Everyone couldn't help laughing.
Concubine Xiao hurriedly signaled someone to pick up Chengzi and held him directly in her arms.
After taking a good look at her, he smiled and asked Chengzi, "Are you hurt from the fall just now?"
Orange shook her head and said in a baby voice, "Orange doesn't feel any pain."
He also patted Concubine Xiao's chest and said, "Don't worry, my beauty."
As soon as these words came out, Concubine Xiao almost stopped laughing: "Oh, my little darling, you have such a sweet mouth. Did your mother secretly teach you at home?"
After saying that, she glanced at Lu Zhenzhen with a smile: "You're already a mother, but you still don't behave properly. You're still raising your child at home like this?"
Lu Zhenzhen cried out, "My Lady, I am innocent. I really didn't teach you that."
Chengzi hurried to prove it to her: "My mother never taught me that. She said that Chengzi is born with a sweet mouth."
After thinking for a while, he looked at Concubine Xiao seriously and emphasized: "Chengzi himself thinks that the queen is a great beauty, the most beautiful queen in the world."
Concubine Xiao couldn't close her mouth. She felt so happy when a child told her so seriously that she was the most beautiful queen in the world.
It is said that children never tell lies. If she says she is the most beautiful, then she must be right.
At that moment, his voice softened, and he ordered repeatedly, "Hurry up and bring up the steamed milk cakes that were just made this morning so that the little ones can have a taste."
While explaining, "The recipe for this milk cake came from the northwest. It's fragrant, soft, and easy to digest, making it perfect for children."
As they spoke, the palace maids had already brought up the steaming hot milk cake.
Along with the milk cake, each person was given a cup of steaming almond milk.
The three Doubao siblings first stood up and thanked Concubine Xiao, and then were helped to wash their hands before they went to get some snacks.
The three siblings first gave way to Concubine Xiao, the Fourth Princess, Princess Qingning and Lu Zhenzhen.
Concubine Xiao, the Fourth Princess, and Princess Qingning all refused to eat it.
It was only given to Lu Zhenzhen, who took a piece without hesitation.
The three children would step aside to eat.
Concubine Xiao, the fourth princess, and Princess Qingning, who loved their three children, kept her by their side.
Especially Concubine Xiao, she hugged Chengzi in her arms and wanted to feed her with her own hands.
She glanced at Lu Zhenzhen unhappily and said, "You're already a mother, and you want to eat your child's snacks too?"
Lu Zhenzhen nudged Concubine Xiao, looking aggrieved: "I'm also a child in front of the Empress! Why can't I eat?"
Then she complained to the Fourth Princess and Princess Qingning: "Now I can see that Her Majesty only has eyes for her three new loves: Doubao, Tangyuan, and Chengzi. Her old love has been forgotten by Her Majesty——"
While shaking his head and sighing.
Concubine Xiao was both amused and angry, and patted Lu Zhenzhen: "You're already a mother, and you're still so naughty. Aren't you afraid that the children will laugh at you?"
Lu Zhenzhen pretended to be in pain and hid next to the Fourth Princess.
With a few laughs and jokes, the slight strangeness that had existed since they last saw each other for several years immediately disappeared.
Seeing the three children acting as if nothing had happened, the Fourth Princess and Princess Qingning couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid that the Imperial Concubine will be angry with your mother?"
Doubao swallowed the milk cake in his mouth and waved his hands confidently: "Don't worry! Mom is often scolded like this by my grandmother at home."
"We all know that beating is love and scolding is care. Grandma loves mother so much that she does this."
"Mother has long said that the great beauty in the capital, the Imperial Concubine, is also an elder who loves Mother very much. Seeing how the Imperial Concubine treats Mother, it is because she treats Mother like her own child that she loves her so much."
After his two brothers finished speaking, Chengzi added in a baby voice, "The beautiful lady loves mother just as much as my grandmother does!"
When the fourth princess saw Orange's little appearance, she loved her so much that she teased her.
"Aren't you afraid that the Imperial Concubine is pretending? How can you kids tell?"
Orange thought for a moment and said seriously, "Orange, you don't need to look, you can feel it with your heart."
"The kindness of the beautiful lady and the pretty aunt to my mother and us is not fake, it is sincere."
Although the children's words were a bit childish, it was precisely because of this that Concubine Xiao felt particularly comforted.
There was a hint of kindness in his eyes as he looked at the children.
Seeing that the Fourth Princess and Princess Qingning were already eyeing them covetously, they were ready to take the children away to play.
Simply waved his hand and said: "Alright, alright, take the three kids to play nearby."
The Fourth Princess and Princess Qingning cheered and pulled their three children aside.
One ordered people to bring more delicious food, and the other ordered people to go to the back and bring the prepared gift quickly.
Concubine Xiao took a look and felt relieved because there was a palace maid watching.
He turned around, took a closer look at Lu Zhenzhen's complexion, and then smiled and said, "It seems that you have been living well in South Vietnam in the past few years."
Lu Zhenzhen laughed and said, "Of course. As the saying goes, when there's no tiger in the mountains, the monkey becomes king. I've been favored by His Majesty and promoted to a princess. In Nanyue, I'm the most distinguished woman in the family. Everyone has to look to me for approval, and I'm flattered in everything I do. If I can't handle this, then I'm not going to live like this anymore."
Concubine Xiao smiled and asked, "How does it feel to be flattered by everyone, with so many people looking at you?"
Lu Zhenzhen thought for a moment and said seriously, "The flattery isn't sincere enough, so it's not very interesting to listen to."
Concubine Xiao nodded in agreement.
He asked a few more questions about the situation in South Vietnam and talked about the bonus money of Hongyanzui.
Lu Zhenzhen took over the conversation: "The reason Hongyanzui was able to open and become so prosperous is, firstly, because it borrowed the name of the palace secret recipe, and more importantly, it has the signboard written by your Majesty."
"If it weren't for you, Madam, being such a big name, Hongyanzui would be nothing more than a novelty rouge and powder shop. How could it have grown to the size it has today?"
"You deserve all this! I used your name to make a name for myself and have the reputation I have today. I wasn't polite to you back then, so why are you being polite to me now? Isn't that alienating?"
After hearing this, Concubine Xiao stopped mentioning the matter.
Lu Zhenzhen asked about the fourth princess's wedding.
I only heard that the fourth princess's husband is no ordinary person, he is the youngest son of the Duke of England.
Lu Zhenzhen still didn't know what kind of person he was or what his character was like.
I just know that British people have good household customs, so the rooms are clean.
