A Foodie Transmigrated into the Palace-Chapter 841: Sons and Daughters

Zi Yue finished speaking and looked at Huan Chun with an even more serious expression.

"You too, there are rules in the palace!"

"Our master is kind, treats the servants well, doesn’t hit or scold, but you can’t take advantage of her kindness and become increasingly presumptuous."

"There are regulations on the attire of palace maids. Zi Ning has a good nature and doesn’t discipline you strictly, you might not know, but that’s over now!"

"I’m telling you today!"

"Except for the standard jewelry issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the jewelry rewarded by the master, all others are not allowed to be worn!"

"Also, remember your duties, the master’s presence is not a place where you should be!"

"This time will be let go, but if there’s a next time, I won’t be lenient!"

Huan Chun was frightened by Zi Yue’s sternness and repeatedly bowed her head.

"Thank you, Sister Zi Yue, for your guidance. I will remember it!"

Zi Yue finally relaxed.

"You may leave!"

"Yes!"

Huan Chun bowed her head in salute and retreated with a bent waist.

Zi Su was very upset, glared, and cursed.

"Fox spirit!"

Zi Yue quickly pulled her aside.

"What are you doing? They were all selected by Eunuch Li back then, their backgrounds are clean, and they can be useful with proper guidance!"

Zi Su looked incredulous.

"Zi Yue, why... we don’t need a girl who sells out the master for personal gain!"

Zi Yue smiled and shot her a look.

"How do you know she sells out the master?!"

Zi Su frowned and thought for a moment.

"Instinct!"

Zi Yue looked helpless.

"Alright, alright, your instincts are always spot on, okay!"

"Let’s go, let’s go, it’s time to eat, I’m starving!"

With that, the two of them held each other and went to eat together.

...

Evening.

After a busy day in the Imperial Study Room, Zhao Junyao finally rushed over before dinner.

Xia Ruqing was a bit helpless.

The Emperor has been coming too often lately.

It was one thing to come every day before, now he doesn’t want to miss any meal.

This is genuine exclusive attention to one residence now!

Now whenever she steps out, she’s like a walking... target.

The concubines, although they dare not speak out, are also envious in their hearts!

After all, a Noble Consort is still just a consort, not the Empress.

Monopolizing the Emperor like this, everyone is somewhat dissatisfied.

Xia Ruqing also felt something was amiss.

So she started brewing in her mind how to advise him.

Dinner was served.

Just some home-cooked dishes.

Xia Ruqing waved off the servants and then cautiously advised.

"Your Majesty, I wonder how the Third Princess has been doing recently? Wasn’t she frightened by the events at Ningshou Palace?"

As soon as she spoke, Xia Ruqing regretted it.

Oh dear, even if you want to push the Emperor away.

You shouldn’t push him to Consort Shih Pin, ahhhh!

Back then Consort Shih Pin threw so many roadblocks in front of her and tried to harm her several times.

And now she’s stupidly pushing the Emperor towards her, insane!

Truly exasperating!

Xia Ruqing lowered her head cautiously, not daring to look at Zhao Junyao’s expression, her heart full of endless remorse.

Can the words spoken still be taken back?!

Zhao Junyao was silent for a while, then slowly spoke.

"Qingqing, do you truly wish for me to go?"

Xia Ruqing suddenly raised her head and then quickly shook it.

"I don’t wish for that!"

Firm and resolute, full of energy, she blurted out without hesitation!

The ice in Zhao Junyao’s eyes instantly melted, his gaze softened quite a bit.

"Then what do you mean by that?!"

Xia Ruqing quickly put on a laughing face.

"Your Majesty, although... cough!"

"Although Consort Shih Pin is abominable, the child is innocent. I was thinking about how the Third Princess is your youngest princess!"

"She’s also... the most pitiable one!"

"It would be good for her if you went to see her more often!"

Mainly it would be good for me too.

Spoiling the young wife so much that your children are neglected, this is not an honorable thing.

Especially for me, it’s dominating the harem.

Who knows what rumors have been spreading about me in the court?

A calamity-bringing beauty? Or a femme fatale?

Tsk tsk, just thinking about it is frightening, words can be daunting!

Zhao Junyao didn’t speak, remained silent for a long time, and suddenly sighed.

"You’re right!"

"Children are, after all, innocent!"

In fact, he deeply regretted it in his heart.

The birth of the Third Princess was an accident.

But since this accident has happened, it can’t be ignored.

After all, she is her own flesh and blood.

Moreover, the original Shih Wanying... she was truly innocent, he should care for her daughter properly.

Thinking it over, Zhao Junyao decided.

In the future, the wetnurse nanny and Sister will often bring her to visit.

As for Consort Shih Pin, he still didn’t want to meet her!

Xia Ruqing thought about it.

"That’s good too!"

He didn’t want to meet, then so be it.

Anyway, the Princess is being cared for, that’s good.

"Eat, with all your worries!"

"Now you should be happy, right?" Zhao Junyao gave her a look.

Xia Ruqing chuckled.

"Your Majesty is wise, I am... truly satisfied!"

"You!"

Zhao Junyao wanted to be angry but just couldn’t manage it.

Her rank is here, what fault does she have.

Whether she wanted to or not, she couldn’t avoid giving advice.

...

The next day.

At lunch, Zhao Junyao rarely visited Duanning Palace but went to Consort Hui’s place instead.

Consort Hui was accompanying her daughter in learning to paint.

Seven-year-old Yi An had grown into a clever and well-behaved child.

No longer as mischievous as when she was young, she remained intelligent and lively as before.

Consort Hui also knew how to teach.

The young Princess Yi An has become even stronger than the Eldest Princess.

When she saw her father come in.

She joyfully tossed aside her paintbrush and ran over, leaping up to hang onto her father’s body.

"Father!" Her eyes were filled with excitement and affection.

"Father, why haven’t you come to see Yi An for so long!"

"Just yesterday, Yi An was telling mother, if you don’t come again, your daughter will go over to Consort Xia to scrounge for food!"

Zhao Junyao was directly amused.

"Then why don’t you go? Your Consort Xia likes you so much? What are you afraid of?"

Yi An pouted, glanced resentfully at the back.

"It’s mother who doesn’t allow daughter to go!"

Consort Hui blushed with embarrassment.

"Yi An!"

"That’s right! Yi An hasn’t spoken wrongly!"

Then she turned back to her father, rubbing on him.

Zhao Junyao simply held her up, lifting her high like when she was young.

Yi An laughed and shouted with excitement.

Consort Hui was terribly frightened.

"Yi An, come down quickly! That’s your father!"

Yi An laughed joyfully.

"It’s because he’s my father that I’m acting spoiled, right father?"

Zhao Junyao looked at her indulgently.

"Yes!"

He truly had no resistance to this daughter.

Just like Qingqing.

Qingqing also liked Yi An very much.

Qingqing always wanted to have a daughter.

Daughters.

They’re truly the best gifts in the world.

Much better than his other rascals.

Thinking about this made Zhao Junyao happy, he lifted her even higher.

Yi An wasn’t afraid at all, instead kept asking.

"Father, higher, higher father!"
