Chapter 2590: Chapter 2590: What Does It Mean? (3)
"Oh dear, it looks like Hei Dou knows how to protect his sister, huh? It seems the road for our Qing Dou and Cai Dou to find wives is still bumpy." The Crown Princess Consort was the first to laugh, seemingly not at all concerned that her son was kicked by someone.
"This little guy has been fond of kicking around lately." Yang Ruxin quickly smiled, but couldn’t help but feel a pang in her heart. Even though she saved the Crown Prince’s life and treated the Crown Princess Consort’s health, so what? There is always a distinction between ruler and subject, and she could never forget that.
The ruthlessness of the Imperial Family is not just talk; she doesn’t want anyone to think she’s getting arrogant just because she has favor.
The Empress Dowager glanced at Shen Junru and then gently patted Hei Dou’s small foot: "This little guy, he’s going to be a strong man in the future."
Shen Junru’s smile stiffened slightly.
People hadn’t dared to laugh earlier, but upon hearing the Empress Dowager say that, they all started laughing, and the way they looked at the two little girls seemed to change. Everyone was shrewd. Although they didn’t know if the Crown Princess Consort’s words were true or false, who could say these two wouldn’t become Empresses someday? Didn’t see the Empress Dowager didn’t refute it? So, they probably have taken a fancy, and within their hearts, they reassessed Yang Ruxin’s status.
The two little brothers, although not knowing what happened, saw everyone around laughing and so they giggled along.
Lun Dou and Huang Dou also cooperatively babbled along, while Hei Dou turned over again and returned to his original spot, watching everyone laugh but with a suddenly aloof expression.
Yang Ruxin somewhat regretted bringing the children to the capital for the New Year. This era’s royal family favored arranged marriages, but she certainly didn’t wish for her daughter to marry into the royal family.
Fortunately, the Empress Dowager didn’t engage in the topic further, and the Crown Princess Consort didn’t continue either, which slightly reassured her.
At this time, the three little beans started humming, having been fussy for so long, they were wet and hungry.
Yang Ruxin took the two mothers to the side hall, changed diapers, and fed them.
"Xinxin." Dong Wenxiu’s face was full of worry; the Crown Princess Consort’s words had scared her earlier.
Yang Ruxin quickly shook her head, indicating that now was not the time to discuss this, and Feng Zilan also timely tugged at her, so she had to keep quiet.
After the three little ones were full, they naturally fell asleep, so they couldn’t be brought back. Dong Wenxiu and Feng Zilan insisted on staying in the side hall to guard them, as they weren’t accustomed to dealing with those noble people.
Yang Ruxin agreed and placed Xiaolun’s family separately in each of the three little ones’ blankets.
Stepping out from the side hall, she took a deep breath at the doorway.
"Madam, what does the Crown Princess Consort mean?" Chai Qin lowered her voice.
Yang Ruxin shook her head, just about to say something when she suddenly looked to the side: "Who?"
From behind a pillar, a person immediately walked out.
"Greetings to Princess Ahyang." Yang Ruxin nodded slightly.
"Yang Ruxin? Gu Qingheng’s wife?" Ahyang looked at Yang Ruxin. Previously, communication wasn’t an issue because Gu Qingheng spoke Miaojiang language, but after Gu Qingheng left, communication became difficult since Alei didn’t know much official language, especially after she became interested in Gu Qingheng, it wasn’t easy to ask Alei to translate. So, she began to learn the official language diligently and was quite good at it by now, but she spoke in Miaojiang language at this moment.
"I don’t speak Miaojiang language." Yang Ruxin smiled, "So, if Princess Ahyang wishes to converse with me, please find a translator, otherwise, I won’t be able to accompany you."
