Chapter 110 1 False Alarm
After her afternoon nap, Su Nuannuan felt refreshed and invigorated, as if every cell in her body had been revitalized. She was full of energy and clear-headed.
With Jinse's careful assistance, she was quickly dressed. However, when Jinse prepared to put a hairpin on her, Su Nuannuan waved her hand, indicating that it was unnecessary. She would be playing with her two adorable little ones that afternoon, and if she put on the hairpin now, she would probably have to take it off when she played with the children, which would be too much trouble.
"Your Majesty, aren't you planning to pay your respects to the Empress Dowager this afternoon?" Jinse asked curiously, looking at her mistress's simple and elegant attire.
Su Nuannuan smiled slightly and replied, "Of course I'll go, but I'll go before dinner. After the garlic fish slices are ready, I'll bring a portion to the Empress Dowager, and I can also get a free meal."
Later, tell Zhixiang to cook less of the other dishes, just enough to make sure you're all full. Make sure to make plenty of garlic fish fillets. By the way, did Li Quan buy enough black carp? If not, remember to tell him to go and buy two more as soon as possible.”
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, Li Quan has bought quite a lot of blackfish this time!" Jinse quickly replied.
Just as the two were talking, Su Yueniang and Honglian slowly walked over, each carrying a little master. The two little ones were exquisitely beautiful and very adorable. As soon as they saw Su Nuannuan, they started babbling and stretched out their chubby little hands, wanting to rush into their mother's arms.
Upon seeing the two little ones, Su Nuannuan's face instantly blossomed into a radiant smile, as beautiful as spring flowers. She quickly gestured to Su Yueniang and Honglian, instructing them to gently place the two little ones onto the soft, comfortable couch.
"Yaoqin, quickly bring the crib mobile!" Su Nuannuan's gaze was focused on the two children in front of her, and she gave the order urgently without even turning her head.
This crib mobile was meticulously designed by Su Nuannuan based on her memories of crib mobiles from her previous life.
The frame of this mobile was crafted by Li Quan. It is both sturdy and beautiful, and the edges of the wood are finished very smoothly without any burrs.
As for the various bells hanging above, they were all made by Tingxue using scraps of cloth, strictly following the detailed patterns provided by Su Nuannuan, and then small bells were attached to the bottom.
Not long after, Yaoqin came over with two bed mobiles, her steps light and quick.
Su Yueniang and Honglian quickly stepped forward to take the crib mobile, gently supporting it, and then carefully placed the two little ones into the specially reserved space under the crib mobile. They also thoughtfully adjusted their positions to ensure that the little ones' feet could easily touch the sturdy wooden board underneath.
At this moment, the quiet and well-behaved little Jingyao behaved quite well. After all, she was still young and not very good at rolling over yet, but occasionally she could still kick her chubby little feet a couple of times. Whenever the crisp and melodious bell rang, her big, watery eyes would always turn curiously, trying to find the direction from which the sound came.
However, compared to Xiao Jingyao, the lively and active Xiao Jingcheng was not so well-behaved. Since he had already mastered the skill of rolling over, he was always eager to roll over, and he rarely actually used his feet to push against the wooden planks. More often, his exploratory heart was focused on trying to reach out and grab the various lifelike animal bells above.
Unable to stand up and unable to reach, the little guy started throwing a tantrum. His adorable appearance was irresistible, but as soon as you put a carefully carved wooden animal model in front of him, his mood changed as quickly as the weather in June. His tantrum came and went just as fast, and he immediately turned from anger to joy.
Occasionally, Su Nuannuan would interact closely with the two little ones, speaking and chatting with them softly, while the two little ones responded with babbling in response, as if they could understand.
At the same time, Xiao Jingyao would kick her chubby little legs happily, wave her lotus root-like little arms in the air, and even the bell hanging on the bed would make a clear and melodious sound from time to time.
"Did you understand? Answer your mother." Su Nuannuan looked at little Jingyao, who was babbling to her, with a smile on her face, her eyes full of doting affection. Hearing her mother's question, little Jingyao seemed to understand something, kicking her little legs excitedly, revealing a toothless smile, and making a series of indistinct but joyful sounds.
Just then, Xiao Jingcheng noticed that his mother was talking to his younger sister. The animal toys that he had been holding so dearly suddenly became less appealing.
Without hesitation, he threw away the toy in his hand and rolled quickly towards Su Nuannuan like a round little ball of flesh.
Seeing her son's amusing antics, Su Nuannuan couldn't help but burst into laughter, teasing, "My little one may be young, but he already knows how to compete for attention."
Meanwhile, Su Yueniang and Honglian, who had been waiting by the side, watched with smiles on their faces as they quietly observed the warm and loving interaction between their mistress and the two young masters, their hearts filled with joy.
At this moment, they would certainly not rashly step forward to interfere. Because, as the Empress had said, this was actually a deliberate effort to cultivate a close bond between mother and son, and mother and daughter. Although they were completely baffled as to why this so-called mother-son and mother-daughter relationship needed to be deliberately cultivated, this did not prevent them from quietly standing aside to observe carefully and try to learn from the experience.
After all, once they are able to step out of the palace gates one day, these valuable experiences will come in handy and be applied to the children they have conceived.
Time passed by, and finally, after the two little ones had played to their hearts' content until they were exhausted, Su Nuannuan called softly to Su Yueniang and Honglian, "Come and take the children away!" Upon receiving the instruction, the two quickly got to work, gently picked up the two sleepy children, and slowly turned to leave.
Once the two adorable little ones had completely disappeared from sight, Su Nuannuan stood up with a sigh of relief. First, she stretched her limbs comfortably, then let out a long, contented yawn, and finally swayed her neck from side to side a few times. After completing this series of actions, she gracefully and slowly strode towards the door.
However, after taking only two steps, a strange feeling suddenly welled up in her heart, causing Su Nuannuan to stop in her tracks. She then turned to Jinse beside her and urgently ordered, "Quickly go and bring me my menstrual blood!" Upon hearing this, Jinse dared not delay in the slightest and hurriedly went to prepare.
Before long, Jinse returned hurriedly with the necessary items in her hands. After confirming that everything was correct, Su Nuannuan finally felt relieved—thankfully it was just a false alarm; she was not pregnant after all.
