The queen still didn't give up and stepped forward to tease the little treasure.
"It's too late today. Prince and Baozhu will stay in the palace for the night."
Before Huo Yingwei could say anything, the queen snatched the little treasure away and said, "It is inconvenient for the prince to take care of the child by himself, so let me take care of the little treasure tonight."
After saying that, she rubbed the tip of Xiao Baozhu's nose and said, "Do you like Aunt Queen?"
"like!"
Xiaobaozhu spoke the truth.
The queen was gentle and kind to her. She would comb her hair before going to bed and sing children's songs to lull her to sleep.
She reminded her of her mother whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
If my mother were still here, she would love her so much.
Therefore, she likes Aunt Queen.
Hearing what Xiao Baozhu said, the queen's face turned into a flower with a smile.
"Let's go, let Auntie put you to sleep."
However, there seems to be something else going on.
The emperor glanced at Prime Minister Qian and said, "Qian Aiqing, please go slowly without seeing me off."
Prime Minister Qian:?
Good guy, so it’s too late, it’s only for Little Orb, right?
Prime Minister Qian was helpless.
Who makes little treasures cute?
He had to say goodbye.
Overnight.
The news that Xiao Baozhu was made a princess quickly spread throughout the palace.
By the early morning of the next day, no one knew about it.
The next day, before it was time to pay respects to the Queen, there was a long queue outside.
This nobleman, that concubine, this concubine...
Almost all the concubines in the harem came over.
While waiting outside, they looked at each other's things and understood each other tacitly.
Unconventionally naming a little girl who is not related by blood as a princess, and the emperor himself said that she will be treated on an equal footing with other princes and princesses. This is something that has never happened in the history of this dynasty.
Therefore, everyone understands in their hearts.
The Emperor and Queen really care about this little guy Huo Baozhu.
It's just a conflict between children, but the emperor can use the title of princess to support it, which shows her importance.
Striving for favor has always been the custom in the harem.
Now whoever is liked by Little Baozhu will be hugged into his lap.
So they scrambled for the first time, fearing that they would neglect the little treasure.
Hearing the noise outside, the queen smiled.
Xiao Baozhu's hair is black and smooth.
The queen took a comb and gently combed her hair. When the two of them got along, they really looked like a mother and daughter.
"Does it look good?"
The queen put down her comb and asked.
Baozhu looked in the mirror, looking left and right. After finishing it, he silently looked at the queen.
Realizing that the little guy was unusually quiet, the queen asked softly: "What's the matter, Baozhu?"
Little Baozhu turned around and hugged the queen gently, "Auntie the Queen, she is like Baozhu's mother."
In the past, her mother used to comb her hair like this.
The queen's heart suddenly felt soft.
She held the little treasure in her arms and said softly: "When your mother is away, if you have anything to do, just ask your aunt. No matter how big the problem is, your aunt will support you."
Little Baozhu nodded and hooked up with the Queen, "Then, Baozhu will also protect the Queen's aunt."
This child...the queen's heart is really soft to the core.
It's time to say goodbye.
The queen sat on the main seat with a small orb on her knees.
The harem concubines filed in one after another.
After bowing to the queen, without exception, they all brought gifts for the little treasure.
People who give gifts are roughly divided into two groups.
One group is the type that spends a lot of money.
If there were any valuable or rare things in his palace, he would bring them there for fear of being outcompeted by what others gave him.
There is also a group of people who express their feelings.
In this group, the things given away are not valuable, and the main thing is to have one intention. Almost all of them are snacks made by one's own hands, knots made by one's own hands, purses sewn overnight, etc.
If there hadn't been a palace maid on the side to help organize it, the small ball of little orbs would have been lost in the numerous gifts.
In the harem, there is only one person who has not come yet.
That was Sikong Zhen's biological mother, Concubine Ji.
When everyone had almost finished their words of praise for the little orb, Concubine Ji came.
She led Sikong Zhen.
Sikong Zhen walked beside her, looking particularly majestic and high-spirited.
He was even more jealous and told his mother and concubine why he was not favored in Prince Huo's Mansion. He wanted to ask his mother and concubine to avenge him today!
As soon as Concubine Ji arrived, she first saluted the queen and then said with a smile: "Baozhu, long time no see. Do you still remember me?"
"Hello, noble concubine." Little Baozhu saluted obediently, charming a circle of people again.
"It seems that I still remember you." Concubine Ji smiled and said, "Bring the things here and show them to Baozhu."
The palace maid behind her came with a big baggage.
As soon as the bag was opened, several toys that were not old or new were revealed.
"These are things your brother Zhen likes to play with. He is older now and doesn't like playing with them anymore. If you don't mind, take them all."
Compared with the gifts given by other concubines, this gift is really inconspicuous.
Some people quietly speculated that Concubine Ji no longer wanted to compete for favor and was showing off.
This is not like her usual style.
Sikong Zhen was a little unhappy. He quietly pulled Concubine Ji, "Why did you give her my toy?!"
"As an elder brother, be more generous." Concubine Ji said calmly.
From the moment she sat down until she left, Concubine Ji never said a harsh word to Xiao Baozhu, nor did she deliberately get close to her.
In the Queen's Palace, Sikong Zhen could finally hold it in.
As soon as he came out with Concubine Ji, he immediately started not to leave.
"What are you angry about again?" Concubine Ji asked.
"Why are you afraid of her, concubine?! She's just a little girl, what can she do?!" Sikong Zhen said angrily.
"I'm not afraid of her." Concubine Ji looked at him with a headache. How could her son be so careless?
Concubine Ji gently pinched Sikong Zhen: "Can't you see that your father really loves her?"
"So what?!" Sikong Zhen was unconvinced.
No matter how much he hurts her, she can't step on him!
just can not!
Concubine Ji couldn't help it anymore and pinched his forehead, "Don't talk back to me!"
"Anyway, you listen to me, I am your mother-in-law, can I still harm you?!"
Concubine Ji was too lazy to tell him too much, "Anyway, please return to Prince Huo's Mansion obediently, stop bullying that little girl, and treat her better, do you know?!"
Sikong Zhen pouted and said nothing.
Concubine Ji slapped him on the butt, "Do you know?!"
Sikong Zhen said "Ouch" and said with a grimace, "I know, I know! You are all on her side and you are all treating me badly!"
"You brat!" Concubine Ji covered his mouth, "Don't talk nonsense!"
Why didn't he know her painstaking efforts?
She did this all for him!
Concubine Ji knelt down, came close to him, and said softly.
