The eldest prince got up late, so naturally he was late. When he saw that the dining table had been set up, and when Xie Ning and Princess Yuyao were both sitting down, he paused in his footsteps and walked over slowly, with a cramped and uneasy look on his little face.

"Just in time." Shainin knew that the child was uncomfortable. Unfamiliar people get together to eat and live, she is still uncomfortable, let alone the child of the eldest prince: "Come, you sit on my left hand." Can I eat by myself? Do you want to call Shang Gong over? ”

The eldest prince shook his head: "No need. ”

Yesterday's dinner was served to him by others, but Xie Ning felt that even if the eldest prince was weak, he would always have the strength to use chopsticks to adjust the spoon. Since he himself said so, he would not call for anyone to come and serve.

Princess Yuyao's situation is different, she is younger than the eldest prince, and now she is sick and ignorant of things, and she has to be taken care of.

The eldest prince walked to Xie Ning's left and did not immediately take his seat, but glanced left and right, as if he was looking for someone.

This house was full of people from Yong'an Palace, and the people who followed the eldest prince did not come in outside the house. Shainin didn't know who he was looking for. The eldest prince hesitated and asked in a low voice, "Why isn't my brother here?" ”

Brother? Oh, Second Prince.

Their brothers only met for the first time yesterday, and they didn't expect the eldest prince to be very interested in his younger brother. Xie Ning said with a smile: "He ate first, and now he is sleeping again, let's eat ours." ”

The eldest prince sat down.

Fang Shanggong usually doesn't do errands like serving meals, but today he was afraid that Xie Ning would not come to the two children alone, so he came over early. She bent down and asked softly, "What kind of porridge does the eldest prince want to eat?" ”

The eldest prince glanced at the dishes and pans on the dining table, and he didn't know where to start for a while, so he hesitated.

Fang Shanggong said, "Do you want to try yam porridge?" ”

The eldest prince nodded, Fang Shanggong filled a small half bowl of porridge, and took a few snacks and put them in front of him. The eldest prince usually eats in a regular manner, and the people in the dining room know that he is weak and has a poor appetite, and they dare not make any novel and special food for her to eat. Fang Shanggong sandwiched a few dim sums, he had never seen any of them.

Yellow plum blossom steamed cake, small and delicate white rabbit bean buns, as well as translucent dough wrapped in vegetable rolls and jade roasted wheat.

"Taste them all." Xie Ning encouraged him: "Your father also likes this vegetable roll. ”

The emperor responded, and sure enough, he tasted the vegetable rolls first, and Fang Shanggong thoughtfully handed the sour sauce to him.

The vegetable rolls are very crisp and sour, and they are also appetizing. And it's steamed, it's not greasy at all. After eating a hundred vegetable rolls and drinking a mouthful of hot yam porridge, the eldest prince actually felt more appetizing than usual.

Sitting at the same table with others like this is new to him. Since he was a child, he has eaten alone, although there are many people serving next to him, but there is no one who can eat at the same table with him.

Xie Ning was afraid that Princess Yuyao would not eat well, so she took care of it more, and put a shell cake in front of her, and Princess Yuyao's nurse fed her again. Xie Ning's appetite was good, he drank a bowl of red bean porridge and let people hold a bowl of shredded chicken porridge, and ate a lot of roasted wheat and vegetable rolls. The eldest prince felt that everything was very new.

Xie Ning noticed the eldest prince's gaze, and thought to himself that this child was not used to it. The emperor is too, he said to move, and suddenly brought two children over yesterday. Children are timid, and they may not be afraid when they change to a new house.

The eldest prince ate more than usual, and he didn't feel unwell after eating. Fang Shanggong also had such a hand in coaxing the child, which surprised Xie Ning very much. But fortunately, with her help, Xie Ning was able to save more effort. Princess Yuyao is still like that, she will eat a few bites of what is handed to her mouth, and she will not be fed if she is not fed.

Looks like yesterday's medicine didn't work.

After the table was removed, Shainin was a little embarrassed.

She hadn't taken care of a child her age. The one she gave birth to herself basically doesn't know anything else except eating and sleeping, these two children are not young, can't they be sent to sleep after eating, right?

Xie Ning first asked the eldest prince: "What do you usually do during the day in Honghui Palace?" ”

The eldest prince still seemed to recognize her very much, and after she asked, the eldest prince hung his head and did not speak.

Unable to ask from him, Shainin had to ask the person who was waiting.

The nurse of the eldest prince said: "I stay in the house on weekdays, and the emperor has a heart, and often orders someone to send some things to relieve the boredom with the eldest prince." "They are afraid that they will not serve them well, for fear that something will go wrong with the eldest prince. It is most appropriate to stay in the house, and when you go out, you will inevitably be tired, cold and hot, and they can't afford to eat a little mistake.

It's not a good thing to be stuffy in the house all the time, not to mention that it's not good for his illness, when such a big child should be running around the ground and having fun, but the eldest prince is like a bird raised in a cage, pale and silent, sick and without any spirit.

"If you're not tired, let's take a walk in the yard and take a walk to get rid of your food?"

The eldest prince raised his head and looked at Xie Ning, hesitated for a moment before whispering, "Okay." ”

Xie Ning held Princess Yuyao with one hand and the eldest prince with the other, and slowly walked forward. Don't think about walking quickly, you can't even take big steps.

The eldest prince is still very restrained, but he will finally raise his head to take a look at the scenery of Yong'an. Xie Ning wanted to tease the two children to talk, Princess Yuyao ignored it, the eldest prince was okay, and he could answer three questions, but he cherished words like gold, and the words he said were so short that he couldn't reduce the number of words.

Xie Ning asked him, is there a pool in Honghui Palace? Is there a pavilion? Are there many flowers and plants? Are there any trees planted? Some of the princes can answer, and when they can't answer, they hang their heads and don't speak.

Princess Yuyao also slowly followed, and she didn't pay attention to what Xie Ning asked her.

I was afraid that I would be tired of the two children, so I walked around the yard and stopped to sit and rest in the middle. It happened that the second prince slept and woke up again, so Xie Ning took the two of them back and took the second prince to coax him for a while.

The eldest prince was really interested in his younger brother, and when he saw the second prince being hugged, his eyes seemed to brighten a lot. He tentatively stretched out his hand, and the second prince grabbed it.

The eldest prince seemed to be startled, raised his head and stammered a little: "He, he arrested me." ”

"He's still young, he doesn't know anything at all, and he wants to grab and touch everything." Xie Ning asked softly, "Did it hurt you?" ”

The eldest prince hurriedly shook his head and said seriously: "It doesn't hurt." ”

This earnest look looks like a little adult.

Xie Ning used to be outside the palace, and he had seen children of about the same age, just like live monkeys, there were few who were not naughty, they couldn't sit still for a moment, and they would go to the house to climb trees to attract cats and dogs when they had the opportunity. But the eldest prince is different from them, in addition to his poor health, his temperament and behavior are also different from ordinary children.

Is this the child in the palace?

Xie Ning was a little distracted, could it be that the second prince would be like this in the future? Do you have to learn to speak and act like an adult at a young age?

Princess Yuyao also stood beside Xie Ning, and Xie Ning asked her softly: "This is the second prince, look at him, is he white and chubby like the little buns he ate at breakfast?" Want to touch it? ”

Princess Yuyao glanced at her.

Shainin perked up.

Although she still didn't say anything, she really reacted just now.

Xie Ning gently took her hand and touched the second prince's little face: "My brother is still young, when he grows up, you can play together and talk together." ”

After a break after lunch, Xie Ning called Qinghe for questioning.

Qinghe had already inquired about the situation, and told Xie Ning about the 155th.

"There are two nurses around the eldest prince, one is Shang Gong, these three people are serving him since he was a child, and the rest are palace people and little eunuchs without rank. This time, only one nurse and two palace people followed, and they didn't bring more people. ”

"Are the rest of the people still in Honghui Palace?"

Qinghe shook his head and said softly: "The slave maid heard that the others were inconsiderate in serving the emperor and made the emperor angry, and they have already handed over to the inner palace eunuch to be handed over. ”

Xie Ning also guessed a few points and nodded. The eldest prince is destined to have no glorious future, and it may not even be possible to say whether there is a future, and the people around him have no head, so it is not surprising that they will be negligent and perfunctory.

Qinghe continued: "There are more people around the princess, but all of them are newly matched. The nurse is not the original one, and the two Shang Palaces have just been transferred to take care of her. ”

This Shainin also knows. Princess Yuyao originally lived in Yanning Palace, and of course the people who served her were all from Yanning Palace. The emperor disposed of Concubine Shu and the Lin family, and of course those old people were all replaced, so that now the people who are serving around Princess Yuyao are all fresh faces. The newcomers weren't familiar with her, and they certainly didn't know her usual habits and preferences.

No wonder he was so sick all of a sudden, and there must have been a cry like last night's before. All the people she knew were gone, and she couldn't go back to familiar places. When I woke up in the middle of the night, the nurse came to comfort her, but in the middle of the night, I was afraid that I was even more lonely and scared in the face of a complete stranger.

And she also lost her biological mother.

Born as a princess, golden branches and jade leaves, it can be said that this is really a good life and good fortune. However, in the blink of an eye, he was separated from his biological mother. Overnight, her past life was completely destroyed, and she probably couldn't stand it as an adult, let alone a child.

Xie Ning nodded: "Be polite to these people, they are not our people after all, don't make a fuss about it, everyone doesn't look good on their faces." ”

Qinghe replied yes.

Both children are pitiful.

Since the emperor said that she would take care of it here for a while, of course she could be perfunctory, and ask if she was okay or twice a day, which would be considered as a concern.

But in that case, she wouldn't be able to pass the hurdle in her heart.

No matter what, I have to find a way to cure Princess Yuyao's illness first.

Princess Yuyao thought of Concubine Shu, Xie Ning asked, "How is Yanning Palace now?" ”

"Yanning Palace has been sealed, but the slave maid has heard about another thing."
