The wicked sister-in-law is in charge; meals include fish and shrimp.

Chapter 103 He Moved Randomly

Consort Liang frowned slightly, and Consort Cheng said from the side, "It's alright, sister. I suppose some nanny took it without telling me. I'll ask her when we get back."

In truth, she probably already had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on. Those good things had probably already been hoarded by someone, right? Anyway, she wasn't favored and nobody cared about her.

Chun-ge'er, who was in Consort Liang's arms, kicked his little legs, and the two of them were amused by him. Their happy laughter reached Qin Wanyue's ears.

"Who's over there?" Qin Wanyue asked a young eunuch beside her, touching the pink peony in her hair.

"Your Highness, it is Consort Liang and Consort Cheng."

Qin Wanyue scoffed in the direction the voice came from. She had never taken a foreign princess who had come for a political marriage and a girl from a minor official family who had gotten lucky enough to enter the palace seriously.

Consort Liang, though of lower rank, possessed a plethora of fine items. The bird's nest and donkey-hide gelatin she encountered last time were truly exceptional; she felt her complexion improved considerably after consuming them.

That Consort Liang is really something; she doesn't give her the good stuff, but she's very fond of Consort Cheng.

She was just a lowly concubine; so what if she gave birth to a prince? The day she mentioned Cheng Yan'er to the Emperor, he didn't even remember such a person.

She was sitting there when Consort Liang and the other woman came over and bowed to her.

"Greetings to Your Highness, the Imperial Concubine," the two women knelt before her. Qin Wanyue waited until she finished the pastry in her hand before letting them stand up. "Look at me, so greedy! I was so busy eating I forgot about you two."

"Get up," she said, taking the handkerchief handed to her by the maid and wiping her mouth. Only then did Consort Liang and the other woman stand up.

Qin Wanyue got up and walked towards Cheng Changzai, startling her so much that she tightened her grip on the child and instinctively took a few steps back.

Cheng Changzai looked somewhat unnatural, and there was a hint of fear in her watery almond-shaped eyes.

On their way to the Imperial Garden, she and Consort Liang had overheard the eunuchs saying that Consort Qin had ordered someone to cut out the tongue of a young palace maid. She was afraid that such a fierce woman would frighten Chun-ge'er if she got close to him.

Qin Wanyue was somewhat displeased with her taking a few steps back. "Is Consort Cheng afraid of me?"

"Alas, I just wanted to see what that little prince would say to the Emperor when he got back," she said, feigning sadness.

Cheng Changyi's eyes lit up when he heard this. It would be wonderful if the Emperor could come and see Chun'er, since the child has never seen his father since he opened his eyes.

She stepped forward, holding the child, and said apologetically, "Your Highness, please don't think too much of it. I was just afraid Chun'er's little leg would kick you."

Qin Wanyue glanced at her and then looked at the child in her arms. Upon closer inspection, she realized that the child's features resembled Jun Shuyan's.

Before, when she was all wrinkled, she even mocked her, saying she looked like an immature monkey. Now that she's grown up, she's thin but quite cute.

A pang of jealousy stirred within her. Shen Sangning got pregnant once, and there was also Consort Cheng, so why couldn't she? Why did she have to drink that damn contraceptive soup?!

She smiled and reached out to touch Chun'er's face, her slender nails leaving a thin scratch on his delicate skin.

As soon as I removed my hand, tiny beads of blood began to seep from the scratch, turning it into a thin line of blood.

Chun-ge'er burst into loud sobs, and Qin Wanyue took a step back, pretending to be terrified. "Ah! I was just touching his face, why is he moving so violently!" As she spoke, she picked up a handkerchief and wiped her eyes with a wronged expression.

Cheng Changzai's face was filled with anxiety, and tears welled up in her eyes, but she still gently and calmly coaxed the crying child in her arms.

Consort Liang was furious at the sight of Qin Wanyue; wasn't that intentional?

Everyone says that she's been favored by the emperor for so long, but there's never been any news about her being pregnant. It's just that people are jealous of the son in other people's arms!

She was only one rank lower than her, and with her brother and father backing her up, she wasn't afraid of this venomous woman at all! How could she be so cruel to such a young child!

Jibuchuhe walked over and shoved her aside, saying sarcastically, "Your Highness, you'd be better off kneeling at the Empress's palace gate. I'm just kindly reminding you, Your Highness, that when you were copying the 'Admonitions for Women,' you should have removed your nail guards to avoid scratching your beautiful face that's been nourished by eating donkey-hide gelatin!" She looked at Qin Wanyue with disdain.

Now Yan'er doesn't even need to go back and ask those people; they must have been detained by this shameless person.

That was donkey-hide gelatin specially made for her by her sister-in-law; she knew the smell all too well! She recognized it as soon as she got close to the woman.

Hmph! The daughter of the Right Chancellor, and a Noble Consort at that, is surprisingly shallow! She even has to steal this little thing from others? Is Jun Shuyan really unable to afford her any tonics? Doesn't he dote on her quite a bit? So much so that she went to the Empress and acted foolishly!

Qin Wanyue was pushed and fell onto the stone bench, hitting her back. This time, tears welled up in her eyes from the pain.

"You barbarian! I already told you he moved it on his own!"

How dare she push a woman from another ethnic group!

Jibuchuhe ignored her, grabbed Cheng Yan'er's clothes and walked out. "Let's go! Take Chun'er back first, the imperial physician will be there soon."

Hmph, if she gets a scar, she won't get away with it; that would be a crime of harming the dragon's offspring!

Of course, pushing this woman once wasn't enough for her! She would go to the Empress's palace in a little while to file a complaint and make her kneel for two more hours today.

"Damn it! The Emperor will not forgive you!" Qin Wanyue was furious and gritted her teeth as she looked at the red figure that had gone.

Fortunately, the cut wasn't deep. After applying the medicine, the imperial physician gave a few instructions to the palace servants before leaving.

Cheng Yan'er held Chun'er with great heartache, so Jibu Chuhe simply let her carry Chun'er and go to Jiaolan Palace with her.

"Don't worry, Her Majesty the Empress will definitely seek justice for you. She's a mother herself, how could she not understand your feelings?"

She urged him, saying that if they went early, they might even witness the spectacle of the Empress forcing Qin Wanyue to kneel as punishment!

Cheng Yan'er was initially hesitant, but after hearing what she said, she decided to go along.

The Empress visited her during her delivery and personally brought her many tonics. She also brought the little princess to visit her several times during her postpartum period.

In this harem, besides Consort Liang, only the Empress has ever been kind to her. I suppose she will seek justice for her, right?

Before the two even reached the entrance of Jiaolan Palace, Jibuchuhe, from a distance, saw a group of people kneeling at the gate, and the one leading them was none other than Qin Wanyue!

A gloating smile appeared on her face as she pulled Cheng Yan'er along quickly toward that direction.
