Chapter 212 Concubine's Self-cultivation 3
Nan Xi quickly pleaded, "This happened for a reason. I have already punished them. I don't think they will dare to do it again in the future. Your Majesty, please forgive them this time."
Zhao Jinyu looked at the woman who was always timid in the past, and seemed a little different today.
Seeing Nan Xi begging for mercy, he did not insist, "Okay, since you beg for mercy, let it go this time, but if it happens next time, I will just sell it directly."
Nan Xi waved to the two maids, "You can go down."
The two women quickly got up, bowed and left.
Zhao Jinyu hadn't eaten yet, so he stayed. The three of them had a rare meal together.
Zhao Jinyu reached out and touched Zhao Moxuan's head, "Xuan'er, did you listen to your aunt and have a good rest today?"
Zhao Moxuan blinked his big eyes and replied in a childish voice, "Yes, father. Xuan'er is good."
Zhao Jinyu asked again: "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else? Do you still want to sleep?"
Zhao Moxuan stretched out his little hand and asked Nanxi to hold him: "Auntie, Xuan'er is not sleepy anymore, I want to play."
Zhao Jinyu gently patted Zhao Moxuan on the back: "Xuan'er, you have to go to bed early at night so that you can have energy to play tomorrow, understand?"
Zhao Moxuan seemed to understand, but he still nodded obediently: "Okay, father."
Zhao Moxuan held Nan Xi's hand and whispered, "Auntie, I want some candy."
Nan Xi gently scratched his nose and said with a smile: "Xuan'er, eating candy at night is not good for your teeth. Auntie will prepare delicious food for you tomorrow, okay?"
Zhao Moxuan thought about it, then showed an innocent smile: "Okay, Auntie is the best!"
Zhao Jinyu looked at Nan Xi and felt that there was something more in Nan Xi's smile tonight than usual.
Zhao Moxuan seldom saw Zhao Jinyu, and he admired his father very much, so he kept talking to him. Before he knew it, it was getting dark.
In Furong Courtyard, Liu Qixia broke a teacup, the pieces flew everywhere, and the maids around her knelt on the ground.
"Princess, calm down!"
"That bitch used the child as an excuse to seduce the prince to go to her. She is such a vixen."
Cuizhu, Bihe and others did not dare to say a word. Today's task was completed and not completed, and the master was angry and had no place to vent it.
Zi Yan said carefully: "Master, don't be angry, she was lucky today, next time..."
"What's the next time? The old lady has already warned me. If something goes wrong next time, it will be my fault. Why?"
Liu Qixia was so angry that she wanted to kill Nan Xi immediately when she thought that the prince was still in Jingya Courtyard.
The maids knelt down and dared not move. Liu Qixia smashed a few cups before she vented her anger and slowly calmed down.
"Take it up."
?
Nan Xi sent Zhao Jinyu to the gate of the courtyard and watched his figure disappear into the night before turning back to the room.
After the original owner gave birth to her son Zhao Moxuan, she rarely saw Zhao Jinyu. She was very satisfied and just wanted to live a good life with her son. Unexpectedly, Zhao Jinyu broke into Jingya Courtyard after getting drunk. After just one time, the original owner became pregnant.
The maids had already made the bed, and Zhao Moxuan's little face was filled with an excited smile. He usually slept with the wet nurse, so it was undoubtedly a surprise for him to have such treatment tonight.
"Aunt, let's sleep together." Zhao Moxuan blinked his bright big eyes, his tone full of anticipation.
Nan Xi smiled and nodded, and while helping him change his clothes, she said, "Of course, Xuan'er was frightened today, so Auntie will accompany you so that you can have a good rest."
Zhao Moxuan rolled over on the bed happily, then sat obediently beside the bed, waiting for Nan Xi.
Nan Xi wiped Zhao Moxuan's face and hands with warm water, and helped him rinse his mouth before letting him get into bed.
In the room, the candlelight flickered, Nan Xi sat by the bed, whispering a story to Zhao Moxuan. Her voice was soft and rhythmic, and Zhao Moxuan's eyes gradually became heavy.
"Aunt, I'm scared." Zhao Moxuan said in a low voice, with a hint of fear in his tone.
Nan Xi patted his back gently and comforted him, "It's okay, Xuan'er, it's all over. Auntie will protect you in the future, nothing will happen to you."
Zhao Moxuan nodded, holding onto Nan Xi's clothes tightly with his hands: "Aunt, hug me."
"it is good."
Nan Xi smiled softly, embraced Zhao Moxuan's small body, and her heart was full of satisfaction.
The two of them whispered like this until Zhao Moxuan's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and finally, with Nan Xi's gentle caress, he fell asleep peacefully.
Nan Xi looked at Zhao Moxuan's peaceful sleeping face and felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart. She pinched Zhao Moxuan's little face. The little bun was so cute.
Yun Chu came in and blew out the candle, leaving only a dim night light.
Nan Xi lay gently beside Zhao Moxuan and slowly closed her eyes.
So many things happened today that I have only just calmed down. There is only one princess and two concubines in the palace now. In addition to the original owner, there is another concubine, Su Wanqing, whose father is a minor official of the fifth rank.
The original owner's status was too low, she was just a concubine. We must find a way to change the status quo, otherwise anyone can step on her.
As she was thinking, Nan Xi fell asleep.
The next morning, Nan Xi woke up as soon as Zhao Moxuan moved.
Ever since Liu Qixia punished the original owner to kneel down and bleed last time, the old lady decided to exempt the original owner from paying respects because she was pregnant.
Therefore, until the baby was one month old, Nan Xi did not have to pay her respects to the princess and set the rules.
Liu Qixia was naturally very angry, but since this was what the old lady meant, she couldn't refute it and could only be angry in secret.
Zhao Moxuan looked in good spirits today. He put his arms around Nan Xi's neck and kissed her on the face.
"Auntie, I'm hungry."
Nan Xi scratched Zhao Moxuan's little nose and said, "Let's get up and eat now."
Hearing the noise, the maids at the door came in to serve. Nan Xi personally helped Zhao Moxuan put on clothes and shoes.
By the time they had washed up, breakfast was ready.
The rich people in the ancient world really lived more comfortably than those in the modern world. At least the servants here served them very well and meticulously.
Of course, if you were to travel back in time and be poor, life wouldn’t be so comfortable. Just the toilet paper alone would be enough to make you collapse.
After breakfast, Nan Xi accompanied Zhao Moxuan to the garden. The sunlight shone through the treetops, sprinkling spots on the path.
Zhao Moxuan held Nan Xi's hand and skipped along. The child's innocence made him quickly forget the shock of yesterday.
The pond had been filled in by Zhao Jinyu's order and replaced with a new patch of flowers and trees.
These flower trees grow lushly, and the branches are full of flowers of various colors, red, yellow, and purple, competing with each other in beauty, creating a vibrant scene.
"Aunt, look at those flowers, they are so beautiful!" Zhao Moxuan pointed at the flower trees and showed them to Nan Xi.
Nan Xi responded with a smile, "Yeah, it's pretty good."
After hearing this, Zhao Moxuan went over to pick the fruits. After he picked a bunch, he held them high and gave them to Nan Xi.
"Aunt, this is for you."
Nan Xi's heart melted. She took it and kissed Zhao Moxuan.
"Thank you Xuan'er."
