Chapter 146: Sui Sui

The Empress Dowager can say it like that, but Princess Consort of Qi cannot take it lightly.

The old lady scolds her son; that's a private matter between mother and child.

If she truly gets mixed in, she'll be neither inside nor outside a human.

Therefore, Princess Consort of Qi could only smile helplessly, then let out a light sigh, showing her powerlessness.

Seeing her like that, the Empress Dowager's anger subsided a lot; she wanted to say more, but feared Xiao Liu was here and the child hearing it would be bad.

In the end she held back her words, smiled, and went to speak with Feng Xuanrui.

Feng Xuanrui no longer had much thought about the Father King going to another residence to have a child.

Because Sui Sui saved Feng Xuanrui, and more than once.

As for the others…

The Empress Dowager, after watching her well‑behaved grandchild for most of the day and asking many questions, finally felt much at ease and signaled the palace staff to take Feng Xuanrui out to play.

Feng Xuanrui was obediently taken out by the palace staff and did not argue or protest.

At this time in the Wangfu, after waking, washing her face, and regaining spirit, Sui Sui, who was playing with Mengmeng Jiejie in one spot, still didn't know that she would soon receive a name.

The other Xiao Liu, at a glance, seemed to have a gentle temperament.

A girl from the Wangfu, in principle, even if of secondary birth, could attain the status of a County Lord.

The things missing from her childhood are being slowly restored by others from elsewhere.

On this point, the Empress Dowager naturally believes it.

Just this alone, she is fit for the title of Princess!

She is just a bit worried—what to do if Feng Xuanrui is too obedient?

The two legitimate sons of the Wangfu, one a jade‑like gentleman, looks easy to bully.

Bring him in?

Wouldn't that be to make him a concubine?

Even a lady of the Houfu, even if she marries an ordinary family as a wife, has no reason to willingly degrade herself to become someone's concubine, right?

However, Lord Jin Yang himself cannot lift himself up; the situation in his residence worsens day by day, so if they make some blunder, it's quite normal.

She furrowed her brows, then quickly spoke again: "As for this child's background, it's enough that those who need to know know it; others shouldn't mention it at all. If it can be kept hidden, keep it hidden. The Lord Jin Yang's residence isn't a good place; I heard that some time ago they were even probing to send the eldest lady of the house to the Xie Residence. From what I gather, even if she can't marry in, taking her in would also work."

Lord Jin Yang himself isn't a good sort of person, and the matriarch finds it hard to evaluate.

The Empress Dowager also hesitated on this matter.

Forget about the fiefdoms, but the various benefits and the like are still quite good.

Princess Consort of Qi gave a helpless smile, gently shook her head: "Xiao Liu is kind‑hearted; when it's time to stand firm, he won't back down, and I won't let him be bullied."

The most important thing is still the verification of status; with the title of Princess or County Lord, Sui Sui's daily outings become legitimate.

However, in the end they made a decisive decision: "First raise her; once she's settled, she will be the Wangfu's Princess. Even if the Emperor disapproves, I'm here, and no one can deny this child's status."

Living within the royal family, viewing sibling relationships this way has already become the Empress Dowager's habit.

A proper status will also come soon.

The Xie family is the Empress Dowager's maternal clan; the current head is her younger brother, the Minister of Justice.

The other party's step‑spouse, now the matriarch of the Xie Residence, is Lord Jin Yang's elder sister.

When it comes to the Lord Jin Yang's residence, the Empress Dowager also harbors a deep resentment.

When they grow up and it comes to profit distribution, it's unclear how the disputes will turn out.

The more she understands, the more Princess Consort of Qi knows that this secret must be kept tightly sealed.

The concubines who entered the residence in the past two years truly disgust him.

Princess Consort of Qi's meaning, the Empress Dowager naturally understood; she pondered for a while, then said: "As for the name, later I'll ask the Emperor whether he will give one himself or have someone else assign it; as for the status…"

Now the child is still young, and nothing can be seen.

Below five o'clock, it's considered a mishandled throw.

At this moment, hearing Grand Empress Dowager speak, he wanted to lodge a complaint but didn't know how to start, so in the end he could only let the old lady keep patting his head.

Sui Sui becomes more adept as she plays, and now is the right moment to take the lead.

In front of the Empress Dowager, Sui Sui's background naturally cannot be hidden.

She's still young; take one step at a time.

The Empress Dowager watches on the side, unable to help but sigh: "Little?"

Now whenever the Empress Dowager thinks of this matter, she wishes she could turn back time and overturn it.

The two little girls initially prepared to play with bamboo‑leaf dragonflies.

They kept copying each other, unable to pick a good one.

You've mistaken the daughter; on what right do you try to snatch mine?

Beating the Father King's concubine and spreading it is truly unsavory.

Even after the fact, if the Lord Jin Yang's residence discovers something, she would stubbornly deny it.

Liu He Meng shouted on the side: "Ahhh, this is unfair!"

Feng Xuanrui understood that this was the Grand Empress Dowager speaking to the Mother Consort, and it wasn't appropriate for a child to be present.

The Houfu, from top to bottom, could be said to fit the saying: "If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be bent."

Princess Consort of Qi even dared not imagine, if a child like Sui Sui, who brings luck, truly entered Lord Jin Yang's residence, what their remaining life would become.

Madam Xie entered the Xie Residence when Lord Jin Yang had not yet become so chaotic.

At that time, considering various interests and the need to fill a household, she was chosen to enter the residence.

Thinking of Sui Sui's cute little face, Princess Consort of Qi's inner panic lessened a lot; contemplating the child's status and name, she tentatively asked the Empress Dowager: "This child still doesn't have a proper big name, and there's the issue of status…"

Now, hearing Princess Consort of Qi bring it up, the Empress Dowager nodded: "He's a decent child, still young, and we can raise them, as long as we don't follow that…"

Feng Xuanrui is young, yet he understands many things.

Not wanting the Empress Dowager to be overly worried—after all, her health hasn't recovered yet—the Princess Consort of Qi smiled and changed the subject, bringing up Sui Sui.

No matter what, that child owes a life-saving debt to Little Six.

However, as long as they don't bully the Mother Consort, Feng Xuanrui won't resort to heavy-handed measures.

Getting involved with the Jinyang Marquis Manor is surely asking for trouble!

The Princess Consort of Qi naturally knows that the Jinyang Marquis Manor is no good place.

Just thinking that they still have five brothers gives the Empress Dowager a headache.

Of course, at such a time, there are simply too few.

Five wood works too; her luck is excellent, she always rolls a six.

So, the Empress Dowager's impression of this child is still good, even though she hasn't met him/her.

Worst case, we'll just break all pretenses!

The Princess Consort of Qi also couldn't advise much; the matter of the child growing up can be discussed later.

It's her daughter; no one can take her away!

However, if a child plays with the same toy all the time, they can easily grow tired of it.

Liu He Meng saw that Sui Sui's interest was not as before; looking at the pond not far away, she couldn't help but say softly, "How about we go look at the fish?"

The second watch is at 19:00.
