Chapter 241: Peace Talisman

Princess Consort of Qi went to the temple, coming and going in a hurry, and didn't have time to consider this matter of fate.

Thus, the peace talisman wasn't obtained.

But she drew a lot, and actually she was already at ease.

Now hearing that Concubine Guo had obtained a peace talisman and returned, Princess Consort of Qi was still somewhat surprised: "You actually managed to get one?"

Regarding the princess's surprise, Concubine Guo hesitated a bit, then softly said: "The master said this also counts as a kind of fate, so he got me a peace talisman."

Regarding this matter, Concubine Guo didn't mention it much, then quickly said with a smile: "Sui Sui, this child, after coming to the Wangfu, has faced many ups and downs; I thought to get a peace talisman for her to wear, so everyone can feel more at ease."

Concubine Guo meant well, so Princess Consort of Qi naturally didn't refuse.

After she smiled and thanked her, she raised her hand to call Sui Sui over.

Sui Sui was looking at Tangtang Jiejie's braid done today, with a pretty hair ribbon tied on it, pink and flowing; Sui Sui gazed at it, envious, constantly touching it, wishing she also had such a glossy braid.

Hearing Mother Consort call her, Sui Sui quickly told the two sisters, then happily ran over.

Xiang Gugu followed behind, protecting her all the way, afraid she would fall.

After Sui Sui ran over, she obediently called out: "Mother Consort good, Aunt Guo good."

Sui Sui's memory is good; she remembered that the person standing beside Mother Consort was Aunt Guo.

Concubine Guo was delighted that Sui Sui still remembered her, and replied with a smile: "Ah, Sui Sui good, Sui Sui good."

Princess Consort of Qi raised her hand to straighten Sui Sui's small hat that had become askew from running too fast, then opened the box of peace talisman that Concubine Guo had brought, took out the not particularly conspicuous peace talisman, and gently placed it on Sui Sui: "This is the peace talisman Aunt Guo obtained for you; I hope my Sui Sui will be safe and sound, smooth and successful."

Don't let there be any more troubles.

The child has already suffered too much before; her body hasn't recovered yet, if we keep tossing her around, the little flesh she's managed to grow will disappear again!

Princess Consort of Qi murmured to herself a while, then carefully fastened the peace talisman on Sui Sui properly.

The peace talisman is simple, but it has been blessed by a high monk and carries the blessings of relatives.

Sui Sui can feel the beautiful aura emanating from it.

This makes Sui Sui feel very at ease.

She looked at Mother Consort's gentle movements and softly said: "Thank you, Mother Consort."

Thinking that this peace talisman was obtained for her by Aunt Guo, Sui Sui quickly turned her head and sincerely thanked her: "Thank you, Aunt Guo; Aunt Guo, you are a good person."

Sui Sui's good-person card was issued especially swiftly.

The system stood aside, laughing heartily, unable to resist taking all kinds of photos.

The soft, cute, adorable Sui Sui, wuwu, is about to melt entirely!

Concubine Guo's time in the manor is short, she has no child; seeing the adorable Sui Sui, she couldn't help but raise her hand, wanting to touch Sui Sui, but thinking of her merchant status, she feared the child might mind, so she withdrew her hand again.

Sui Sui saw the other's movement, thinking Aunt Guo wanted to touch her, so she obediently leaned her head forward: "Aunt Guo, you may touch; my head is easy to touch, but I'm wearing a small hat today, don't knock it askew, it's just been tied by Mother Consort."

The adorable head wearing a multicolored small hat stretched forward.

Concubine Guo felt her heart was about to melt.

She is young; before, her thoughts about children were merely an imagined expectation; she knew she wanted some standing in the Wangfu, to live steadily there, and having a child would make her days a bit easier.

But she also knew that her origins were humble, and the Prince initially brought her back to the Wangfu due to various external factors.

Concubine Guo actually didn't dare to have too many extravagant hopes.

Knowing that having a child would make her days in the Wangfu better.

But not having a child is actually not a big deal, right?

Given that the Prince hardly ever comes to her quarters, how could she conceive a child?

Moreover, later Concubine Su and Concubine Car are even more adept at acting coquettish; each of them surpasses her, a merchant's daughter who knows how to read people's expressions and flatter the lord.

Over time, Concubine Guo's thoughts also faded.

She thought: without a child, she would cling to the Princess Consort's side; with the Princess Consort's patronage, her days should be alright, right?

The reason she sought this peace talisman for Sui Sui was also largely out of a desire to curry favor with the Princess Consort.

However, at the moment Sui Sui stretched out her little head, Concubine Guo thought……

She seemed to understand why the two concubines liked Sui Sui so much.

Such a likable and adorable child—who wouldn't like her?

A little girl, with just an unintentional gesture, can make hearts bloom; one would want to give her all the family possessions.

What's wrong with spending a little money on such an obedient child?

Concubine Guo couldn't contain her excitement; she gently reached out, not daring to press hard, merely lightly touching Sui Sui's tender, smooth little face.

It's really tender and smooth!

Concubine Guo herself is young, in the prime of youth; regardless of her physical condition or skin condition, it's an excellent age.

She thought her own face was already quite tender.

But a child's tenderness is really different from theirs!

So soft, so smooth, so nice to touch!

She really couldn't control her hand; it had its own mind, even wanting to scratch Sui Sui's chin.

Concubine Guo's rationality was going crazy, wanting to disconnect, but her mind remained clear and in control of herself.

Don't act recklessly, the Princess Consort is watching!

She wanted to curry favor with the Princess Consort, to make her own life in the Wangfu a bit easier.

It's not about offending the Princess Consort and the young lady of the manor all over, ah ah ah!

Hands, hands, hands, control yourself a bit!

Concubine Guo with difficulty withdrew her hand.

Sui Sui also obediently retracted her little head.

Feeling the warm little head moving farther away, Concubine Guo still felt a bit of regret in her heart.

She thought…

It's still nice to have a child.

If one could be as lovely as Sui Sui, that would be even better.

However, thinking of her own status and the Prince's neglect of her, Guo Aunt thought…

It's not blood-related; if I dote on and take care of her, she would also be willing to be close to me, right?

I just don't know; if Sui Sui knew that I come from a merchant background, would she despise me?

Guo Aunt was both excited and, faintly, revealing a hint of loss.

She didn't want to frighten the child, and she strove to keep a smile.

After drawing back her little head, Sui Sui lowered her gaze to look at the peace talisman, then lifted her head to look at the kindly-faced Guo Aunt, and softly asked, "Auntie, you only asked for a peace talisman for me; didn't you get one for yourself too?"

Guo Aunt hadn't expected Sui Sui to ask that; a hint of doubt appeared on her face as she gently shook her head: "No, Auntie, I've been feeling fine lately, so I didn't bother the Bodhisattva. Sui Sui is still young, so I thought I'd ask the Bodhisattva to bless her more. All right?"

Asking the Bodhisattva to bless oneself is naturally good.

But Sui Sui still felt a little worried.

She tilted her little head, thought for a moment, then whispered, 'But Auntie, the younger brother in your belly is even smaller than me; he also needs a peace talisman.'

Second watch.
