Imperial Plot - C280 calmness

“I will definitely remember the Empress’s kindness in my heart.” Chen Xi Meng didn’t know what to say to express the gratitude in her heart. Now, she couldn’t even help Zhong Miao Yi.

The Zhong Miao Yi didn’t want Chen Xi Meng to say anything either. She didn’t need to make a vow, she only needed to know in her heart what kind of things she was going to do.

“I don’t have many days of leisure like this, so it’s kind of fortunate for me to be able to avoid all the trouble outside.” Zhong Miao Yi took a deep breath. Only now was she able to relax a little.

She was grounded. At least for this period of time, the eyes of those who were watching her and Chang Mu Pavilion would calm down a bit.

Zhong Jiming grew up day by day, and little kids were really the same every day. In the past, when he was still childless, he wasn’t worried about them at all, and when he was alone, his life and death weren’t really that important.

Now that he had a worry, although he couldn’t do as he pleased, his life seemed to be looking forward to it.

Zhong Miao Yi had no plans to let Chen Xi dream of Zhong Jiming for the time being, she only tilted her head and asked Ah Jiu in a soft voice: “What about now?”

Ah Jiu did not look at Chen Xi Meng, but also replied in a low voice: “I haven’t gone to take a look yet, the wet nurse is taking care of him, so there shouldn’t be any problems.”

Zhong Miao Yi nodded. Ever since that incident, she had been worrying about her body ever since.

He was probably afraid of being bitten by a snake every time.

Chen Xi Meng did not hear the conversation between Zhong Miao Yi and herself. She was a little nervous as she sat, and suddenly did not know what she should talk about with Zhong Miao Yi, what she could talk about with Zhong Miao Yi.

They were originally people from two different worlds.

If not for the Chen Family choosing to support Su Zeyi, they might have never known each other in their entire lives.

Zhong Miao Yi did not let this deadlock last for too long. After Ah Jiu went out to look at Zhong Jiming, her mind once again focused on Chen Xi Meng: “I have been feeling wronged for this past period of time, I have received your previous message, but I just did not have the chance to refute it. Now that you have come out, I will temporarily be staying at Chang Mu Pavilion.

Su Zeyi would not be so harsh on the Zhong Miao Yi, the Chang Mu Hall still followed the rules of a concubine to deliver the goods, if she did not stay at the Chang Mu Hall, Chen Xi Meng’s days would still be difficult to bear.

Chen Xi Meng let out a long sigh of relief, she did not want to go back to the place by herself at this time. It was eerie there and people were dismissed, it was the best place to stay at.

“Many thanks, Empress.” Chen Xi Meng laughed, this time she calmed down a matter in her heart.

Standing behind Zhong Miao Yi, Bell looked at the current Zhong Miao Yi, not knowing if she should feel happy or not.

She seemed to have the power to survive, but would such power crush her one day?

Would she still be able to stand up even at that time?

If it was at this moment, Bell’s worries were obviously unnecessary. Zhong Miao Yi cherishes her free time very much, and without Su Zeyi, there would be no one who would disturb him.

She even hoped that time would pass a little slower, but looking at Su Zeyi, he didn’t seem to want her to stay here quietly for too long.

He had always been dealing with Yun Mengqi and the others, and had never gotten along with them properly.

Zhong Miao Yi got the bell to find a clean room for Chen Xi Meng and brought it down.

Ah Jiu did not come back. He sat for a while and took advantage of the fact that no one was around to stretch.

The last time he had done this, was when he was still in Qingge. If he carefully calculated it, it should have been at least four years ago.

Zhong Miao Yi did not think too much about it. Sometimes, when she suddenly thought about something, she would think that there was no meaning in living.

Zhong Miao Yi had already learned not to think about it anymore. She stood up, stretched her body a bit, and then headed towards Zhong Jiming’s room.

When they arrived at the door, they realized why the Ah Jiu did not come back. The wet nurse was holding onto the Ah Jiu’s hand as she gave Zhong Jiming a bath.

Zhong Miao Yi had never seen a child take a bath before, so she curiously walked in. Behind the protective screen, they could hear the sound of their laughter and the misty water vapor.

No one expected the Zhong Miao Yi to suddenly come in, and both the wet nurse and the Ah Jiu were stunned.

“Why is the Empress here?” Ah Jiu was quick to react and was somewhat happy.

Zhong Jiming was sitting tiny in the bathtub, curiously playing with the water, he put his hand that was covered in water into his mouth, raised his head and saw Zhong Miao Yi, then laughed out loud.

The nurse also smiled and said, “Young master is truly happy that the Empress came. It can be seen that she has a deep affection for you.”

“Let me carry him after I’m done.” Zhong Miao Yi stared at Zhong Jiming, his little arms and legs were white and tender, his stomach was injured previously, so Zhong Miao Yi was worried that Zhong Jiming might lose weight, but it seemed like he did not have to worry anymore.

The wet nurse came over and continued to bathe Zhong Jiming in the bath with Ah Jiu.

“Is his appetite good? “It’s not that bad, right?” Zhong Miao Yi asked again.

The wet nurse held Zhong Jiming and wiped his back, “Young master’s appetite is good, I have more or less recovered in this period of time.”

Zhong Jiming did not know what the Zhong Miao Yi and the others were talking about, but he had already forgotten about what happened just now.

He was very good at bathing, unlike some of the other children the nurse said he was always crying and coaxing.

After putting on her clothes, the nanny used a soft handkerchief to lightly wipe Zhong Jiming’s head.

The Zhong Miao Yi watched on quietly from the side. Zhong Jiming slowly grew up and was very much like the Concubine Xian.

She had always thought that the Concubine Xian was truly indifferent towards life and death.

But at a moment of life or death, who would be able to face it?

Just like herself, she had once thought that she was fearless, exhausted both physically and mentally, and was determined to die.

However, in this life, how could he let go of all the shackles so easily? Zhong Miao Yi could not be so selfish. Even in that situation, she forced herself to live.

The wet nurse wiped off half of his hair. Zhong Jiming looked at the door with his big eyes as he made babbling sounds as if he wanted to go out.

Zhong Miao Yi reached out and carried him over. Zhong Jiming smiled happily as she embraced Zhong Miao Yi’s neck. Her soft hands and the unique fragrance of milk from a child made Zhong Miao Yi feel at ease and soft-hearted.

“Are you sure you want to go out and play?” Zhong Miao Yi gently said.

Zhong Jiming did not understand, grabbing onto Zhong Miao Yi’s hair and sending it into his mouth.

Zhong Miao Yi pulled her hair back, not even noticing the smile on her face.

She carried Zhong Jiming and walked out. It was almost dusk, and the sky had a slight orange glow.

However, Zhong Jiming’s attention was not on the setting sun. He reached out to grab a sapling at the side of the veranda, and the Zhong Miao Yi pulled him back before locking him in his embrace: “That cannot be pulled.”

After saying that, he felt that it was funny how he talked to Zhong Jiming in all seriousness. He was so young, so he couldn’t understand.
