Chapter 1088: Chapter 888: Quite Furious

Nan Feng couldn’t help but complain, "What can I enjoy now, spending every day at home taking care of the child? I can’t even go out to play, let alone find time to apply some rouge. What is Xiaobao doing over there? Is he putting things in his mouth again? I’ll go have a look."

Having said that, Nan Feng gave Xiaoye a shove and ran off to check on Xiaobao.

Lately, Xiaobao seemed to keep stuffing things in his mouth.

Watching Nan Feng play with Xiaobao, Xiaoye felt a tinge of loss.

...

The next day, the Virtuous Consort brought some sugar water to Xiaoye because he had played outside for too long and she was worried about his throat being dry.

When the Virtuous Consort arrived, she had someone go in to announce her presence. Xiaoye came out to greet her and offered his respects promptly, but the Virtuous Consort couldn’t help but ask as she hadn’t seen Nan Feng for a long time, "Where is Nan Feng? I haven’t seen her for a while."

Xiaoye answered on Nan Feng’s behalf: "Fengfeng is giving Xiaobao a wash. She only got halfway through because she was worried it was cold outside and didn’t come out, but Fengfeng does miss the mother consort a lot. She was asking about you just yesterday."

The Virtuous Consort nodded. Washing him? Xiaobao must have soiled his pants. She remembered when she was fleeing with Xiaoye, there was no one to help her with the child, dealing with all the poop and pee herself. Raising a child always comes with challenges, so the Virtuous Consort understood.

However, when entering the house, she still subconsciously sniffed around. Finding no smell of feces, she let the palace maid hand a porcelain pot to Xiaoye: "Pear and pig’s lung soup, have some."

Xiaoye took the stew pot and felt its weight: "Mother consort, I will drink it later."

In fact, Xiaoye was thinking of saving it for Nan Feng. She had a hard time taking care of Xiaobao, and he couldn’t be much help. Right, lately, Nan Feng seemed to have a bit of a temper. He knew she was frustrated by being cooped up in the Palace, but it wasn’t time for him to leave yet.

Seeing that Xiaoye didn’t drink, the Virtuous Consort asked, "Don’t you like pear and pig’s lung soup?"

Xiaoye smiled: "Not exactly, I just had some Dim Sum a little while ago and feel a bit full."

Just then, Nan Feng came out of the house, with Xiaobao all clean and adorable with a cherubic face. However, seeing a stranger, Xiaobao instinctively snuggled into Nan Feng’s embrace. Seeing this, Xiaoye took the opportunity to scold Xiaobao, "Xiaobao, it’s impolite to act like this. Come and pay your respects to your grandmother."

Nan Feng also held Xiaobao forward, teaching him, "Bao, this is your grandmother, she’s family. You can’t be so distant; it’s impolite, do you understand?"

Xiaobao shyly looked at the Virtuous Consort, barely waved his hand as a token gesture, and then hid back in Nan Feng’s arms.

That was already Xiaobao restraining himself considerably, and Nan Feng thought it was acceptable. She sat down beside Xiaoye because, since the Virtuous Consort was visiting, she couldn’t just stay in the room with Xiaobao all the time; otherwise, he would become even more shy around strangers.

The Virtuous Consort then asked Nan Feng, "The child has been in the Palace for so long, how come he’s still so shy?

Nan Feng responded: "Maybe he’s just not used to it."

The Virtuous Consort frowned, "That’s a bit abnormal. Xiaoye wasn’t like this when he was little. He used to greet everyone no matter where he went, very polite."

Nan Feng laughed: "That’s the only issue with Xiaobao; he’s quite good in other respects, like sleeping through the night without wetting the bed."

"That..." the Virtuous Consort seemed not quite satisfied: "How about this, there are other children in the Palace. Children should play with children. Someday soon, take him out to the garden. I’ll talk to several of the consorts with children, and have them bring their children out to play together."

Nan Feng smiled, "That would be even better."
