Chapter 221: Fond of Sui Sui

Since Meng Ce Fei has already sent everything, she has made up her mind and will definitely send them.

So she smiled and waved her hand: "Princess Consort, you can't say that. Sui Sui ought to have some nice things. My family may be ordinary, but since Sui Sui calls me aunt, I will definitely add what's needed."

After saying that, Meng Ce Fei went to look at Sui Sui, smiling and asking: "Sui Sui, do you like those fabrics? They can be made into new clothes."

Sui Sui had just swallowed a longan, and one cheek was pushed out into a round, plump curve by the longan.

Hearing Aunt Meng call her name, she also glanced at the opened box.

The colors of those fabrics are light and bright, suitable for young people and also for children.

Sui Sui had tried on many clothes in the morning; although the new clothes looked nice, Sui Sui didn't want too many.

Moreover, whether to accept the gifts also depends on the Mother Consort.

So Sui Sui obediently turned her head to look at the Mother Consort.

The longan in her mouth hadn't been swallowed yet, and one side of her little face was still bulging.

She looked like a little squirrel eating, utterly adorable.

The Princess Consort of Qi couldn't help herself and poked the cheek flesh that the longan had pushed out.

It was soft, tender, and really smooth, like cooked egg white.

After noticing the Mother Consort's movement, Sui Sui actively pushed her face forward; with something in her mouth, her words were a bit muffled: "Mother Consort, touch…"

Meng Ce Fei watched from the side, her eyes red with emotion.

She couldn't help but get up and walk over to Sui Sui; in the gap when the Princess Consort of Qi's hand paused, she also reached out and poked.

It was soft and squishy, seeming to still exude the sweet scent of longan.

A child's face is indeed nice to touch.

Xiao San's face used to be nice to touch, but unfortunately the child grew up and no longer allowed it.

Meng Ce Fei has always felt some regret.

When she gave birth to Feng Xuancang, she suffered a difficult labor and nearly lost her life; after that, for many years she never conceived again.

She thought it was due to bodily harm; Meng Ce Fei reflected that she already had a son who had established himself, so she actually didn't have much regret.

As for the Prince's frenzied pursuit of a daughter, Meng Ce Fei wasn't particularly concerned either.

Since she can't bear children, she might as well let the Prince have children with whoever.

Now looking at Sui Sui, touching her soft little face, and seeing the little girl's pure eyes like a fawn's, Meng Ce Fei thought…

Damn it!

The Imperial Physician only said she would have difficulty conceiving later, but didn't say she couldn't give birth!

If she had tried harder back then, wouldn't her child now be as big as Sui Sui?

Thinking that she was still under thirty, Meng Ce Fei wondered whether she should try harder.

But…

The matter with Car Maid always feels strange.

Especially after the Prince returned to the residence yesterday, his face has remained dark.

After Liu Dafu examined Sui Sui today, the Prince specially called him away, possibly to see a patient privately.

What could be hidden here?

Meng Ce Fei is thoughtful and considers many things.

She felt something was hidden here, and when she thought of Ren Ce Fei's muttering to her about the peach‑kernel and safflower matter concerning Car Maid…

Meng Ce Fei had a bold guess.

That the Prince might be unable to father children!

If that's really the case, then her efforts would be useless.

Moreover…

Meng Ce Fei lowered her head to look at the innocent‑faced Sui Sui before her and thought: Even if she gave birth, it wouldn't necessarily be a lovely lady.

Even if it were a lady, it wouldn't necessarily be as lovely as Sui Sui.

If she gave birth to a lady like Ying Zhi from the Da Zhang Gong Zhu Fu…

Meng Ce Fei thought, she likes tranquility and really couldn't stand such turmoil!

Sui Sui quickly swallowed the longan in her mouth, obediently pushed her face toward Meng Ce Fei and said: "Aunt Meng, you touch too."

The previous topic was sidetracked, but Meng Ce Fei pretended Sui Sui liked it and agreed to accept it.

So she casually touched Sui Sui, not wanting to disturb the little girl's snack, and soon laughed: "Let's eat first; it'll get cold and upset your stomach if you wait."

The Princess Consort of Qi, listening on the side, heard Meng Ce Fei actually say a reduplication?

Don't mention it; saying that is rather childish.

Little kids would probably like it a lot.

Without looking, after Sui Sui finished listening, her eyes were dark and bright, and she obediently nodded.

Princess Consort of Qi: ……

She lost, it was her loss.

But it's fine; she can just win it back!

Who can't say a reduplication!

After Meng Ce Fei finished speaking, she then laughed and sat back down: "Although my family isn't wealthy, I still have some spare change to add to Sui Sui's savings; let her keep it."

The Princess Consort of Qi actually also guessed that Meng Ce Fei's gifts weren't just because she liked and doted on Sui Sui.

Rather, it was mostly gratitude for what happened yesterday.

This is a lifesaving favor!

Yesterday's incident at Suya Zhai, which she heard Aunt Qiu mention today, was that enemies came to the door, went mad, and in one fell swoop killed seven people!

More than ten stalls were slashed; three innocent customers were killed, and four or five customers who ran fast also suffered minor injuries.

Meng Ce Fei said, if she had left home earlier yesterday, she would have gotten in line to buy things earlier.

For the things bought for the Princess Consort, Meng Ce Fei also likes to do it herself; she would likely get out of the carriage and line up.

So, the chance of being slashed increased again.

Thinking of this, not to mention Meng Ce Fei, even the Princess Consort of Qi felt frightened.

Yesterday, because of Sui Sui's matter, I couldn't attend to it.

Now the child is fine, the Princess Consort of Qi can also relax: 'Have you had Liu Dafu take a look today? Don't leave any hidden illness; if there's sickness, we'll just treat it.'

Meng Ce Fei naturally had checked earlier; Liu Dafu said she only got frightened, she'll be fine after a few days' rest, and should get more sun and look at more flowers and plants.

Looking at beautiful things can make one forget the bad ones.

Meng Ce Fei thought…

Beautiful things?

Beautiful people also count as one of them, right?

So she came to see Sui Sui first.

Meng Ce Fei gazed at Sui Sui with Gentleness, who had just taken another sip of sweet soup.

This child is really adorable.

It makes one want to hold her now and give her a good rub!

Originally Meng Ce Fei wanted to reply: I'm fine, I'll be better after a few days' rest.

Seeing Sui Sui, she changed her mind: 'Liu Dafu said I should look at beautiful things or people these days to improve my mood.'

Saying this, Meng Ce Fei turned her head, looked again at the Princess Consort, and said with a smile: 'How about this: tonight I'll take Sui Sui back, treating it as the Princess Consort pitying me, letting Sui Sui keep me company for the night.'

As soon as these words were spoken, the Princess Consort of Qi's expression changed slightly.

Sui Sui didn't understand, and she also raised her head.

First she looked at the Mother Consort, then at Meng Yi Yi.

Sui Sui thought, she did not want to be separated from the Mother Consort.

But the Mother Consort said Meng Yi Yi encountered something unpleasant yesterday and might still be afraid.

She treats me very well; yesterday she even held and played with me, and today she sent so many things.

How about…

Keep her company for the night?

Sui Sui frowned with difficulty, thinking: 'But I still don't want to leave the Mother Consort!'
