Chapter 994: Xiao Chi Was Fooled
Xiao Yu returned to the palace, but Gu Fei was not in the bedroom.
The maid reported: "Concubine Fang wants to see the queen, and the queen is meeting Concubine Fang in the side hall."
Xiao Yu nodded and went to watch Xiao Chi practice martial arts.
In the side hall, Qiong Niang sat beside Gu Fei and whispered: "I came here today to ask the queen for a favor."
Gu Fei remained calm and waited for Qiong Niang's next words.
Among the concubines of the late emperor, Qiong Niang has the highest status and lives alone in Yongshou Palace.
The rest of the concubines of the late emperor did not even have the qualifications to be called concubines. Fortunately, Xiao Yu did not have three palaces and six courtyards now, and there were many empty places in the palace. These concubines lived in a palace with three or five people, and lived a life of eating and waiting to die every day.
Qiong Niang looked at Gu Fei with a pleading look on her face, "I am only twenty years old this year, and now I live alone in the palace, which is really lonely."
"I want to ask the queen to let me raise the child born by Concubine Rong, so that I can pass the time and have someone to rely on when I am old."
Gu Fei raised her eyebrows slightly.
The son born by Concubine Rong is now Xiao Yu's only brother. He is now being taken care of by a wet nurse and a palace maid. If Qiong Niang hadn't said it, Gu Fei would have almost forgotten that such a person existed.
She thought for a while, "I can't make the decision on this matter. It depends on whether the emperor agrees or not."
"Let's do this. I'll ask the emperor later."
Qiong Niang stood up, thanked Gu Fei profusely, and then left.
Gu Fei returned to the bedroom.
As soon as she walked into the yard, she saw Xiao Chi doing horse stance with two bags of tears in his eyes.
Seeing Gu Fei, tears fell from Xiao Chi's eyes, and he pouted his mouth and shouted with great grievance, "Mother——"
Gu Fei smiled with her lips pursed, "Oh, Xiao Chi is practicing again, why is the horse stance so good today?"
"This little waist is so straight, this posture is so standard, much better than mother's."
Xiao Chi was about to cry, but after hearing what Gu Fei said, he blinked his eyes and suddenly stopped feeling aggrieved, and looked at Xiao Yu with a bit of pride.
Father always said that he was wrong here and there, but mother had vision.
Xiao Yu had a blank expression, "There is still a quarter of an hour."
Xiao Chi pouted his mouth again, and looked at Gu Fei pitifully with a pair of big eyes, and his eyes were full of words, mother, please plead for me, I can't hold on any longer.
Gu Fei smiled, clapped her hands and said, "Xiao Chi is really amazing. Can he hold on for so long now?"
"If Master knows tomorrow, he will be very happy."
Xiao Chi's expression changed again, his eyes became firm instantly, and he looked straight ahead, as if he could stand for another ten thousand years.
Xiao Yu whispered in Gu Fei's ear, "Just coax him."
Gu Fei also whispered, "I'm encouraging education."
"Look, how energetic he is now."
"By the way, Qiong Niang came to me just now and said that she wanted to report the son born by Concubine Rong to her for raising. What do you think?"
Xiao Yu said indifferently, "If she likes to raise him, let her raise him."
A baby who is still breastfeeding, there is nothing to worry about.
Gu Fei nodded, "Okay, then I'll send someone to move the child's things to her palace tomorrow."
The next morning, the eunuch went to Yongshou Palace where Qiong Niang lived and delivered a message, "The emperor has ordered Concubine Fang to raise Xiao Yan well."
Qiong Niang was overjoyed and quickly asked the maid to give the eunuch silver as a reward. She asked anxiously, "Can we bring the little prince over now?"
The eunuch nodded slightly, "The queen has already sent someone to move the prince's daily necessities over there."
Qiong Niang quickly called the maid and eunuch, "Let's go and pick up Yan'er."
