Chapter 221: Taking the initiative to come to the door, the selection of foster mother
"The Concubine Xuan is beautiful, and this little prince is also very cute."
Jingpin looked at the fair and tender baby in her arms and couldn't help but praise it.
If she could have a child, even a princess, she would rather shorten her life by ten years.
Life in the palace was too lonely, and she hoped very much to have a child by her side so that she could find some joy in the world again.
"She is indeed cute, but she is also very naughty."
"Raising a child is not an easy thing. I thought I was well prepared, but when the child came, I found out that such a little guy can be very troublesome."
Fu Cha Zhixi said with a faint smile.
"Your Majesty is kind and naturally willing to do it yourself."
When Concubine Jing saw this, she couldn't help but reveal a bit of envy in her words.
"Without the careful care of the queen, the little prince would not have grown so strong."
"Yes, raising a child requires care and caution, but more importantly, you have to be able to protect the child."
Fu Cha Zhixi looked at Jingpin with an ambiguous smile, which made Jingpin a little confused.
"Yes, it is indeed not an easy task to successfully raise a child in the harem."
Jingpin probably guessed that the other party was talking about Princess Wen Yi in a veiled way, but she felt that she was not close enough to talk about such things, so she did not say anything about that.
"Whether you call me a prince or a princess, as a mother I only hope that my child can grow up healthy, happy and safe. This is my greatest wish."
Fu Cha Zhixi continued the topic with a sigh.
She could see that the other person was confused, but she could also see a hint of sympathy in his eyes.
As for the incident that happened a few days ago, anyone who is not stupid can see that it was Concubine Nian who was causing trouble.
Concubine Jing had no children, so she couldn't help but feel a little pity for Wen Yi, who was still a baby.
It's a pity that she has to suffer such torture at such a young age, but she can't do anything.
If she could have a child, even if it was a princess, she would never let anyone take advantage of her child like this.
"Do you know about Princess Wen Yi's vomiting of milk a few days ago?"
Fu Cha Zhixi saw that the time was almost right, so he didn't want to waste any more time and just went straight to the point and asked.
"This matter has spread throughout the harem, so I naturally know a little about it."
Jingpin's heart moved, and she had some guesses as to why the other party suddenly brought up this topic.
"It's just pitiful that the princess has to suffer such a great hardship at such a young age."
She looked at Fu Cha Zhixi and there was a hint of tentativeness in her words.
"Yes, this is a matter between us adults, why should we involve children? Children are innocent."
Fu Cha Zhixi's brows moved slightly, and seeing that the other party was interested, he added fuel to the fire.
"You don't know that Aunt Fangqiu, who was beside me at the time, also went over to testify for Concubine Wan, and she happened to see Princess Wen Yi crying non-stop."
"Now that I have Fu Zhen by my side, I always feel very sad when I hear these things."
"Yes, the princess is older than the little prince, but she looks weaker and sicker than the little prince."
Jingpin couldn't help but sigh as well.
"After all, Lady Cao is just a lady. Although she is the princess' biological mother, she sometimes cannot protect the princess."
Fu Cha Zhixi has made her card clear. She doesn't think that Concubine Jing has no feelings towards Princess Wen Yi at all. Now that she has said it to this extent, it's time for the other party to show some attitude.
"What do you mean, empress?"
Jingpin could naturally hear the other party's implicit meaning. Thinking of the emperor's favor for Xuanfei, her guess in her heart became more certain.
Fu Cha Zhixi smiled and looked at Jingpin and nodded.
"The emperor came to see me that day. His love for his son is pure from the bottom of his heart. I couldn't bear to see Wen Yi so young and pitiful, so I made a suggestion to the emperor."
"Since Lady Cao is unable to take good care of the princess, why not hand the princess over to someone who can take good care of her."
Jingpin stared at Fucha Zhixi with wide eyes. Now that things had come to this, was there anything she couldn't understand?
The other party is sending a child to me.
She never thought that one day she would really have the chance to have a child of her own. Even if the child's biological mother was still alive, it would be a great joy for her.
"My queen, although I am not of high rank, if I am lucky enough to raise the princess, I swear that I will protect her and prevent her from suffering such torture again."
Jingpin's tone was full of excitement and desire, and she even swore an oath.
She was usually gentle and polite, and rarely interfered in the gossips of the harem, but for Wen Yi, she was willing to submit to Concubine Xuan.
"At that time, the emperor had in mind the other suitable candidates for foster mother besides you, Concubine Duan."
"But Concubine Duan has always been frail and sickly, and Wen Yi is young and needs a foster mother to spend a lot of energy to take care of her, so I prefer you to be Wen Yi's foster mother."
"Your Majesty wanted Wen Yi to grow up healthily. After hearing what I said, he also knew that Concubine Duan was not the most suitable candidate, so."
Fu Cha Zhixi didn't finish his words, but his meaning was very clear.
Jingpin naturally understood what Concubine Xuan had not yet expressed, and she was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes.
She understood that she owed Concubine Xuan a big favor in this matter. After all, she knew a little about what happened back then, and she also knew that the Emperor owed Concubine Duan.
If Concubine Xuan had not spoken for him, the Emperor would most likely have handed Princess Wen Yi over to Concubine Duan.
"Your Majesty's kindness will be remembered in my heart, and I will repay you in the future."
Jingpin clenched her fists, stood up, bowed deeply to Fucha Zhixi, and expressed her promise in a very sincere tone.
"Get up, get up."
"If I say I don't have my own little thoughts about this matter, I think you won't believe it."
"But compared to my little thoughts, I would choose you to be Wen Yi's adoptive mother. It's also pitiful that Wen Yi, at such a young age, was bullied by Concubine Nian."
"Concubine Duan is very good, but I am worried that her body may not be able to protect Wen Yi, but you are different."
"I know you are capable of protecting Princess Wen Yi, and you have never had a child. I think if the princess is given to you to raise, you will definitely take good care of her."
Fu Cha Zhixi's words were seven parts true and three parts false. She pointed out that she did want to do the other party a favor, but she focused more on the princess and earned Jingpin's favor.
Of course, she did have this reason for choosing Concubine Jing, and she really felt sorry for Wen Yi.
