Chapter 303: with translation of chapter title

Prince Qi and Guo Concubine truly are not familiar with each other.

That is, after a few years in the residence, they've only shared a few nights together.

So, sitting there now, aside from asking about daily meals, how the fetal nourishment is, what Doctor Liu says, etc., there is no other topic to find.

Fortunately, Prince Qi didn't sit for long, otherwise the awkward atmosphere would have assaulted him from all sides.

When the Prince left, Aunt Yuan, fearing that Concubine Guo might be emotionally sensitive during her pregnancy and start overthinking, hurriedly whispered, "Your Concubine just stabilized the fetus; it's not good for the Prince to stay at this time. The book you were reading isn't finished yet; would you like to continue listening?"

Concubine Guo felt only a slight sense of loss at the Prince's departure.

After Aunt Yuan spoke, she could no longer think about the Prince.

She thought, studying is really hard!

But, for the child, she'll listen.

Her brain can't actually explode.

Concubine Guo clenched her teeth, then nodded to Aunt Yuan, "Sorry for the trouble, Aunt."

Aunt Yuan slightly bent forward, "Your Concubine is being too formal."

Soon, gentle reading sounds rose again in the room.

Before Prince Qi arrived at Ren Ce Fei's side, he had already signaled for the preparation of all the medicinal bath items.

Ren Ce Fei, now pinching her nose with a disdainful expression, said, "Must the Prince insist on bathing here? This medicine smells so pungent. Why not move to the room next to Meng XinYu?"

Prince Qi, upon arriving, immediately heard Ren Ce Fei disparaging him.

That made him furious; his expression twisted. He strode in, raised his hand pointing at Ren Ce Fei, and, angry, said, "Ren Xiu, don't go overboard!"

Ren Ce Fei hadn't expected to be caught red‑handed; she gave an awkward smile, "Ah, the Prince has arrived."

After speaking, Ren Ce Fei seemed to recall something, glanced behind Prince Qi, and asked, "Huh? Didn't the Prince go to Concubine Guo?"

Prince Qi: …

He doesn't argue with fools; he doesn't argue with fools!

Having comforted himself like that, his mood finally eased a bit.

Prince Qi pointed toward the medicinal bath area, "I'll go first."

Ren Ce Fei, seeing him dodge the question, rolled her eyes, "Go, go, go."

Prince Qi, displeased, replied, "Are you calling a dog?"

Ren Ce Fei turned away; her intention to ignore him was crystal clear.

Prince Qi:.

Fine, thinking Ren Ce Fei might explode later, Prince Qi stopped provoking her.

When night fell and the house was quiet, Prince Qi and Ren Ce Fei lay on the bed, and Prince Qi finally told her about Sister Shu's illness.

Ren Ce Fei, after hearing, indeed exploded, "Let me see, which fool is this? Whether there's a matter or not, trying to cause trouble—who is it?"

Ren Ce Fei got up in the middle of the night, preparing to return to her natal family to deal with people.

The blue veins on Prince Qi's forehead were about to burst from her torment, yet he could only gently advise, "Don't rush yet; the Princess Consort said she has a new arrangement, listen."

Upon hearing that the Princess Consort had an arrangement, Ren Ce Fei finally calmed, staring coldly at Prince Qi.

Prince Qi:?

What kind of look is that?

Hearing Prince Qi mention that Sister Shu could come to the Wangfu Small Classroom to study, Ren Ce Fei tapped her chin and pointed to the courtyard next door, "What about there?"

That refers to Meng Ce Fei's side.

Prince Qi nodded, "Everything is arranged; rest assured."

Hearing this, Ren Ce Fei felt considerably reassured.

However, fearing Ren Ce Fei might also bring that lawless little nephew from home, Prince Qi specifically reminded, "Sister Shu can come alone; Nan brother can stay away."

Ren Zi Nan is a dandy who dabbles in cat‑calling and dog‑walking, very troublesome.

Prince Qi held him in very low regard.

Ren Ce Fei, after hearing, flared up again, "You want to take him in, I'm not happy either; you disdain him? I also disdain him!"

Even an aunt's filter can't save Ren Zi Nan's dandy behavior.

Because she slept early the previous day, Sui Sui got up early the next morning.

After going to the clean room, washing and changing clothes, she was carried by Princess Consort of Qi toward the Qian Cafeteria.

Zhuangzi's steward had already delivered various fresh ingredients early in the morning.

This morning there was fresh milk, and the kitchen made milk custard.

After removing the milky fishy smell, only a rich aroma remains, combined with fragrant, smooth, soft eggs; each bite is pure satisfaction.

Children all love this smooth, tender way of eating.

Princess Consort of Qi had heard Aunt Qiu mention it, so while carrying Sui Sui to the cafeteria, she whispered a description.

Sui Sui woke up early, and her belly felt empty.

At this moment, hearing about the milk custard, she drooled with craving.

Seeing Feng Xuanrui, the first thing she said was, "Brother, we're going to eat cow eggs!"

Feng Xuanrui didn't understand, but responded promptly to his sister's words, "Alright, brother will make the cow lay eggs right away!"

Feng Xuanbin tilted his head, puzzled, and asked, "Don't cows give calves? How can they lay eggs?"

Feng Xuanrui thought, that is indeed a question.

But ask Father King, he surely has a solution.

Seeing her meaning being twisted, Sui Sui waved her hand quickly, "No, no, no, it's not cow egg, it's milk egg!"

Upon hearing, Feng Xuanrui understood, "Oh, milk custard, that's quite tasty, but you need to drizzle more honey; I like it sweet."

Sui Sui's mouth watered at the mention of something sweet; she nodded: "I want some too, I want some too, I want the same as big brother!"

When Prince Qi arrived, Sui Sui was already being held by Mother Consort, eating cow milk steamed egg.

Hearing Father King's movement, Sui Sui lifted her head, eyes smiling like a little crescent moon, and greeted: "Father King, be well!"

Prince Qi took a medicinal bath yesterday; his body felt much more relaxed.

At this moment, seeing the good child's smiling face, his mood improved even more.

He strode forward, opening his arms toward Sui Sui: "Good child, quickly let Father King hug."

After saying that, Prince Qi also explained to the Princess Consort: "The child is heavy; just give him to me, you eat your meal properly."

Princess Consort of Qi: ……

Who doesn't know how many catties and taels Sui Sui weighs?

However, the Prince was in good spirits, and the Princess Consort had no intention of making things difficult for him, so she generously handed the child over to him.

Prince Qi held Sui Sui with one hand and the steamed egg with the other; after feeling the bowl wasn't hot, he fed her in small mouthfuls.

Feng Xuanrui looked on, eyes greedy; Prince Qi saw this and teased: "Xiao Liu, do you also want someone to feed you? Or else, come sit on Father King's leg."

Feng Xuanrui heard this and almost exploded: "No way!"

He wanted to feed his younger sister, not to have Father King feed him.

He's a little adult; he doesn't want an adult to feed him!

Feng Xuanbin joined in the clamor: "I don't want it either, Father King, stinky!"

Prince Qi took a medicinal bath and also used medicine; his body still carries a medicine sachet.

Although Prince Qi had some aversion to the medicine sachet, this was a health-preserving preparation from the palace's Imperial Physician; he forced himself to overcome a bit of psychological resistance and put it on.

The medicine's fragrance is actually fine, but the child doesn't understand, only feeling a bit bitter and astringent, so Feng Xuanbin spoke frankly.

After hearing that, Prince Qi felt both angry and helpless; he could only raise his hand and give Feng Xuanbin a light smack: "You little brat, talk less and eat more."
