The Whole Dynasty Spoils the Tyrant's Beloved Youngest Daughter-Chapter 183: Princess, Your Prince Consort Has Been Born
Itโs absolutely inappropriate. ๐ฏ๐ป๐๐๐๐ฎ๐๐ท๐๐ฟ๐๐.๐๐ธ๐ข
How can a daughter-in-law let her mother-in-law assist her with bathing?
Jun Ning said, "Itโs not proper, really not proper."
"What do you mean, madam?" Aunt Qi was upset. "Yi Yi, you call Ah Qin Uncle Qi, but you call me madam. Donโt you think youโre favoring one over the other?"
Aunt Qi puffed her cheeks and looked at Jun Ning with grievance.
If Jun Ning didnโt call her mother, obviously she wouldnโt let it go.
Jun Ning soaked in the water, looking at Aunt Qiโs expression, then glanced at her terrifyingly large belly, her mind and heart filled with one thought: "Speak kindly, canโt afford to offend a pregnant woman."
Forget it, if I canโt afford to offend, then I wonโt.
Jun Ning obediently called, "Mother."
"Oh..." Aunt Qi responded joyously, then energetically helped Jun Ning start washing.
Jun Ning endured all over itching and discomfort, saying, "Mother, mother, gently please."
"Alright, gently."
Aunt Qi had to lighten her grip, helping Jun Ning wash.
This bath was agonizing for Jun Ning, making her hate the mud clinging to her innocent body.
If it werenโt for this muddy body, she wouldnโt have been forcibly held down for a scrubbing.
Jun Ning: "Whimper, whimper..."
Jing Shu, on the other hand, was used to someone attending to her bath since young. She was quite adapted, cooperating throughout the bathing, and got cleaned afterward, smiling happily.
After a while, the little girl felt sleepy, and thus a servant carried her away to sleep.
Jun Ning, however, still wore a sullen face, not recovered from the unpleasant bathing.
Aunt Qi, feeling pity, brought the little girl to her room, heavily pregnant, personally retrieved her treasured snacks, offering them to the little girl to comfort her.
But the little girl, seeing these snacks, still appeared disinterested.
Aunt Qi could only console, "Yi Yi, donโt sulk, if you dislike others scrubbing you in the future, I wonโt force you."
After a pause, she further explained, "This time itโs mainly because both you and Jing Shu were covered in mud. Had you washed yourselves, Iโm afraid you wouldnโt have gotten clean, thus I asked around for help. Do you understand?"
Jun Ning understood.
She wasnโt sulking over the bath.
She... she suddenly missed the Emperor because of todayโs bathing incident.
She thought about how, previously in the palace, she didnโt want others assisting her bath, the Emperor wouldnโt force her, letting her wash herself. When she couldnโt manage, then heโd send patient old maids to help.
The Emperor sincerely adored her, always accommodating her wishes, never coercing her.
But since the Emperor fainted, she hadnโt seen him. It had been a while now; she wondered if the Emperorโs health was better?
Jun Ning missed him dearly.
"Emperor..." Jun Ning called softly in her heart.
Her nose tingled, tears uncontrollably fell.
Aunt Qi saw, quickly helping the little girl wipe her tears. But for some reason, the more she wiped, the more they fell. She asked, distressed, "Yi Yi, whatโs wrong? Why crying all of a sudden? Donโt cry, really, donโt cry, tell mother whatโs wrong."
"I...I..."
Jun Ning didnโt want to cry!
But, perhaps spoiled these recent months, she became easily teary.
"Come, let mother hug you, once mother hugs, youโll speak out." Aunt Qi disregarded her cumbersome body, tried sitting beside Jun Ning, pulling her into her arms, wanting to hug her.
Jun Ning saw, startled, retreating cautiously to the bedโs corner, reminding, "Mother, your big belly..."
"Itโs fine, heโs very well-behaved..." Aunt Qi rubbed her belly, "Never overly troublesome, occasionally just lightly moved."
Aunt Qi smiled, "Me hugging you now is fine, besides mother is merely embracing you, not having you sit on her belly, rest assured, itโs truly fine."
Jun Ning, half believing, moved closer to Aunt Qi, sat beside her, gently leaned into her embrace.
But still fearing colliding with Aunt Qi, she leaned cautiously, entirely supporting her own body weight, not placing any on Aunt Qi.
Yet, despite this precaution, Aunt Qi suddenly cried out.
"Ah...Ah..."
"What, what happened?" Jun Ning retreated far back, tense, asking, "Mother, whatโs wrong? Your belly uncomfortable?"
Could it be labor starting?
The belly was so large, indeed seemed due soon!
The only possibility Jun Ning could think of was this.
However, Aunt Qi denied, "Yi Yi donโt worry, itโs not labor, but..." she pointed at her protruding belly, "the little guy inside suddenly kicked me, he kicked so hard, making motherโs belly feel a bit uncomfortable."
"Kicking your belly uncomfortably?"
Jun Ning frowned.
What does this little fellow intend? Why did he kick Aunt Qi as she approached?
Does he dislike her closeness? Or maybe dislike her?
Either way, Jun Ning felt somewhat displeased.
No one likes being unliked.
She pointed at Aunt Qiโs belly, fiercely saying, "How dare you kick mother? Be cautious, once born, Iโll kick your rear."
Aunt Qi chuckled.
Yi Yi spoke too adorably.
But, after Jun Ningโs words, the little one inside seemed to stop kicking.
Was it her words that frightened him?
Aunt Qi couldnโt help but wonder.
"Still uncomfortable, mother?"
"Not uncomfortable now." Aunt Qi shook her head, guiding Jun Ningโs hand to her belly, "Feel it, he stopped kicking."
Stopped kicking?
Thatโs good!
With this little interlude, Jun Ning felt better, nibbling on the snacks Aunt Qi provided, while holding Aunt Qiโs hand, asking questions.
She was asking about, assuming the Prince Consort misbehaves, can she spank his bottom, when Qiong Huaโs prepared meal arrived.
Jun Ning happily ate the meal sent by motherโs servants, continuing chatting with Aunt Qi.
With days like this, eating meals mother sends from the palace, chatting with Aunt Qi, another month passed. The plagueโs situation in the city slightly improved, no longer spreading wildly, nor hearing of daily deaths.
Now, as long as finding effective medicine, the plague could end entirely.
But useful medicine requires finding slowly.
During the plagueโs medicine search, Aunt Qi entered labor.
This day, when Jun Ning was sleeping soundly at dawn, someone knocked on her roomโs door, shouting loudly, "Princess Anle, Princess Anle, your Prince Consort is born..."
