Chapter 84: Sui Sui's Household Registration

Concubine Zhou, because of Feng Xuanbin, has a bit more face than the other concubines in the residence.

However, face is not so easy to maintain.

If she makes a mistake here, it could also implicate Feng Xuanbin.

And this is a result Concubine Zhou absolutely does not want to see!

Princess Consort of Qi's advice like this is also meant to help her distinguish what's important.

Concubine Zhou naturally understood; after Princess Consort of Qi's words fell, she properly knelt down and kept kowtowing, indicating she would certainly pay attention.

Her natal family's side……

Thinking of these, Concubine Zhou also felt troubled in her heart.

For the closer relatives, Concubine Zhou has actually given them advice one by one.

They also know that being in the Wangfu is not that easy.

If you want to maintain your current glory, don't stir up trouble, lest the Prince grow disgusted.

Otherwise, even Feng Xuanbin's status won't be able to save them.

But, the relatives far away in Wen Prefecture, it's hard to say.

The distance is far, and usual contact is also scarce.

If someone really uses Concubine Zhou's name to do something, she also doesn't know.

Because of Prince Qing's backing, the previous matter isn't considered too serious.

Princess Consort of Qi also does not want to impose heavy punishment.

After all, they still have to consider Feng Xuanbin, this child.

So, Princess Consort of Qi gave a few simple pointers, then indicated that Concubine Zhou could leave.

Concubine Zhou's legs went weak, and Fang Xing helped her out.

Aunt Qiu smiled as she saw them out the door, and then specially told Concubine Zhou what had happened earlier outside.

The matter was lengthy and complex, so Princess Consort of Qi didn't elaborate further.

But Aunt Qiu needed to let them, master and servant, know exactly what they had done wrong, so that they could promptly restrain their own family members.

After finishing the previous matter, Aunt Qiu let out a light sigh: 'The mastermind who caused the trouble has already been locked up in the Da Li Si Tianlao; if you, Concubine Zhou, feel tied by old kinship, you may go visit, but as for other matters, just forget about it.'

That means you can go see, but don't think about pleading for them.

The other party, however, laid hands on their Sixth Prince.

Intending to harm a clan prince, this is no minor offense.

After hearing this, Concubine Zhou's legs went completely weak, and she collapsed onto the ground.

At this moment, she also understood why the Princess Consort had just said that.

Concubine Zhou mournfully thought: What on earth are her clansmen doing?

She is merely a concubine in the Wangfu; why make things so difficult for her?

Concubine Zhou forced herself to walk back; upon returning to her room and closing the door, she slumped there and burst into loud tears.

On Princess Consort of Qi's side, she no longer pays attention to this matter.

What she has in mind are all matters concerning Sui Sui.

"Tomorrow, have the tailor from JinXiuFang come over to take Sui Sui's measurements and make clothes; this child has nothing, so for each season we'll first make four sets, rush out the spring and summer ones, and not worry about the rest."

"If they have any new flower patterns over there, add two more sets to the spring and summer clothing."

"In a moment I'll open my private treasury to see if there are any suitable ornaments for the child."

"Also, you go tomorrow to pick two clever maidservants, arrange an older one to come over to serve Sui Sui; if we can't find suitable ones in the residence, go to the pawnshop and carefully select there."

……

Princess Consort of Qi had many things on her mind, which she told Aunt Qiu one by one.

Many matters, Aunt Qiu, being older and experienced, could handle, but Princess Consort of Qi still wasn't at ease if she didn't do them herself.

After everything was done, Princess Consort of Qi, still uneasy, went to check on Sui Sui again; seeing the little girl sleeping soundly, she then turned and headed back to her own quarters.

On the way, Aunt Qiu tentatively asked: "The eldest lady's household registration……"

Sui Sui is still a black household registration, huh.

Although it's not really a big problem, after all it still needs to be kept in mind.

Regarding this matter, Princess Consort of Qi thought it over, then waved her hand: "Let it be for now; wait until the Prince returns and see how he considers it. If he's unwilling, Sui Sui will take my surname Song, and our Song family certainly can't fail to raise a child."

Prince Qi now has his heart and eyes set on having a daughter with a promising concubine he favors.

Everyone hopes for their own biological daughter; Princess Consort of Qi has nothing to say about that.

She finds Sui Sui cute, but that doesn't mean others also find the little girl cute.

So, Princess Consort of Qi's attitude is: do not insist.

If Prince Qi likes it, then Sui Sui will take the surname Feng, enter the Wangfu's household registration, which is naturally good.

If he doesn't like it, then she will enter the Song Fu's household registration.

Who raises a child isn't raising?

Anyway, they're all her children.

Hearing this, Aunt Qiu knew what to do.

The next day, it was a sunny day.

Sui Sui's adaptability is excellent; perhaps it's because Mother Consort's gentle pat was overly warm, letting her sleep especially well that night.

When she woke up in the morning, facing her was a smiling crabapple blossom's face: "Eldest lady, you're awake? Do you want to get up now?"

Sui Sui had never slept in before; it was only after following her brother for a while that she learned to indulge in a little laziness.

The little girl herself is still quite diligent.

When Hai Tang asked, Sui Sui obediently got up.

In the past, Sui Sui had only heard her older brother say that the tea water for rinsing in the early morning was very expensive.

Now that she has truly entered the Wangfu, Sui Sui finally knows…

This is true!

After Hai Tang attended to her dressing, she first handed her a cup of warm tea water faintly scented with flower.

Fearing the little girl might not understand, Hai Tang whispered, "Miss, this is for rinsing, you don't need to drink it."

She obediently followed the procedure Hai Tang had reminded her of.

The tea water was warm and fragrant with flower, very pleasant.

She took a sip, and Sui Sui almost couldn't resist, drinking it straight away.

However, Sui Sui held back!

After the tea fragrance lingered around her lips and teeth for a moment, Sui Sui spat it into a small basin beside her.

Hai Tang handed over another cup of warm water: "This is for soothing your throat, drink slowly, no hurry."

After drinking half a cup of warm water, Sui Sui finally went down to put on shoes, and with Hai Tang's help, brushed her teeth and washed her face.

Hai Tang carefully brushed Sui Sui's hair, touching the slightly prickly green sprouts, and whispered, "Grow quickly!"

Hai Tang feared the little girl would have no hair and be mocked, feeling uneasy.

Her voice wasn't loud, but besides the two of them, only two maidservants waited not far away.

Sui Sui heard clearly, thought for a moment, then whispered, "Liu Ye Ye said the hair will be very long, very black and shiny, Hai Tang sister, you needn't worry."

The little girl, with a milky voice, called her sister, and Hai Tang felt her heart melt!

When she previously helped take care of the Sixth Prince, she had never felt this way.

Inside Hai Tang, a series of screams: "Ah ah ah, so cute, I want to pinch her face!"

She now tells the Princess Consort that she wants to marry, asks the Princess Consort to choose someone for her, to bear a daughter now, is it still possible?

As she led Sui Sui outside, Hai Tang's steps were light and drifting.

They arrived at the Side Hall dining area; it was still early, Feng Xuanrui and his party hadn't arrived, and the Princess Consort was not there.

Puzzled, Hai Tang asked the person waiting at the Gate, "Where is the Princess Consort?"

The second watch is at 19:00.
