Her Majesty Was Pregnant Before Entering the Palace

Chapter 491 Daily life in the Eastern Palace

The day is getting hotter and hotter.

Until one day in June, Jiang Ning rolled up the sleeves of her snow-colored cardigan to her arms and sweated profusely in the kitchen.

Needless to say, the cooks knew that the Crown Princess was developing new dishes to honor the noble concubine in Jinxiu Palace.

The two little ones were tired from playing, so the nurse and maid took them to take a nap.

Huang Ying wiped Jiang Ning's sweat with a handkerchief, and said distressedly: "In such a hot day, even slaves don't want to come to the kitchen. You should stop cooking, and the imperial concubine is not bad for you."

"I didn't make it just for her. It's hot these days, and the children don't have much appetite. Especially Xiaoqian, seeing her face lose weight. I'll make some delicious food for them."

Huang Ying said with a smile: "Since the emperor's eldest grandson lives here with us, he can eat, drink and sleep. He has gained so much weight. Even if he is thinner, it doesn't matter."

As soon as the words fell, Li Tingqian ran in smelling the smell, "Auntie, I'm hungry."

He was wearing a goose-yellow soft silk satin shirt, his forehead was whipped into a small braid, gathered behind his head, and adorned with a huge pearl, shining brightly.

Boys are not allowed to tie their hair up until they reach the age of 12, and they are all half-clothed.

But the weather was too hot, when Jiang Ning didn't see outsiders in the East Palace, Jiang Ning asked him to braid his hair, so as not to cover his neck with prickly heat.

But as the eldest grandson of the emperor, Li Tingqian had to study with his master every day, and those old-fashioned Confucians would never allow him to comb his hair indiscriminately.

At this moment, he ran in with his hair covered, his head was covered with sweat, and his little face was flushed.

Jiang Ning hurriedly handed the spoon to the maidservant, led Li Tingqian out by his small hand, gave him a bowl of mung bean soup to relieve the heat, and took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.

"It's so hot at noon, you can stay in the Wenhua Palace for lunch and nap, why run back? What about heatstroke?" Jiang Ning babbled.

"The food in Wenhua Palace is not good, and it is also hot there."

Li Tingqian drank the cold mung bean soup in one gulp, "I just want to eat the food my aunt cooks."

"At this age, I'm still a picky eater."

Although Jiang Ning said so, he immediately ordered someone to bring the newly prepared meals to the side hall.

The side hall is surrounded by ice basins, and there are two huge fans hanging on the roof, which are connected with ropes. As long as the maids pull the ropes, the leaves of the fans can send a cool breeze.

Comfortable and cool.

Several children like to play here.

Jiang Ning simply moved all the eating places here.

At this moment, the two young ones were still asleep, so Jiang Ning accompanied Li Tingqian to eat first.

"Are you still going to Wenhua Palace to study in the afternoon?" Jiang Ning asked Li Tingqian to pick up some food.

"Master said to take a rest in the afternoon." Li Tingqian lowered his head to pick up the rice, his face swollen from eating, he raised his head and said, "Auntie, I'm sleepy, and the master scolded me this morning. He said that I was distracted while studying."

Jiang Ning felt a little distressed, and patted his head: "Go to bed after eating, and wake up when you are full."

This palace is too strict with children. They have to study in the Wenhua Palace from the age of five, and strictly follow the time specified by the master. The little children can't open their eyes in the morning, and they have to be picked up by the wet nurse to get dressed.

Although Jiang Ning looked at it reluctantly, but Li Tingqian was the emperor's grandson, if he was delayed, not only the emperor and empress would blame him, but even the courtiers of the previous dynasty would take the opportunity to attack her and the prince.

That's all right, she naturally doesn't care about these things, she just worries that if this happens, the emperor and empress will not allow Xiaoqian to continue living in the East Palace.
