A Foodie Transmigrated into the Palace Chapter 1268 - 1266: Protecting You

"Alright, alright, Your Highness The Princess! I understand!"

Ying Luo shook her arm.

Yue Er’s expression finally softened.

But she began pondering another question.

"Do you think if I go trouble Luo’s, will my mother be displeased?"

Ying Luo thought for a moment.

"With the Empress’s temperament, she probably won’t care!"

Yue Er asked, still uneasy.

"What about my father?"

Ying Luo found it odd.

"Your father never even considers whether you’re happy; no need to consider him either!"

"You’re right!"

Yue Er gritted her teeth.

"Alright!"

Her gaze was firm as if she had made an important decision.

...

Two days later, Honored Lady Luo was once again favored.

Yue Er, who usually didn’t pay much attention to Harem affairs, was infuriated this time.

"My father really is..."

Ying Luo quickly comforted her.

"Calm down, your father is the Emperor!"

Yue Er was so angry that she closed her eyes.

"Alright, alright, the Emperor!"

"My father is the Emperor!"

"But my mother is still the Empress!"

She couldn’t help but roll her eyes to express her protest.

Ying Luo continued to persuade.

"Actually, there’s nothing to be angry about!"

"If you don’t like her, just deal with her secretly!"

"I don’t believe the Emperor will do anything to you for an Honored Lady!"

Yue Er nodded.

"Alright, I understand!"

She squinted her eyes.

"Just watch!"

After lunch.

Yue Er took a trip to the main hall.

At that time Xia Ruqing was still resting, and upon hearing Yue Er had arrived, she quickly got up to wash her face.

"Why are you here? Feeling better these past two days?"

Yue Er smiled.

"I’m much better, thanks for caring, Mother!"

Xia Ruqing asked her if she’d taken her medicine at noon, what she’d eaten.

Yue Er answered obediently, one by one.

Xia Ruqing was very comforted, rubbed her daughter’s head, praised her a few times, and then smiled.

"I have honeydew melon here, big and sweet. I’ve saved a few for you. Once you’re better, I’ll send them over!"

Yue Er shook her head with a smile.

"I have some too, the small kitchen has them. Mother, eat them yourself!"

Xia Ruqing slightly frowned and was puzzled.

’What’s gotten into this little girl today?’

’She behaved too well, as if she’d grown up a lot overnight!’

’Making her mother feel a bit guilty!’

’Even feeling unfamiliar! Is this little girl really that devil incarnate Little Princess?’

She couldn’t eat honeydew melon, nor could she eat anything else.

Xia Ruqing called for a pot of herbal tea, and some fresh snacks came with it.

"These are new snacks made by Chef Su, you haven’t had them before. Try them quickly!"

Yue Er nodded.

"Thank you, Mother!"

Then she sat down and ate obediently.

She tasted the snacks and had a few sips of tea, then she smiled and said.

"Mother, your snacks are getting tastier and tastier!"

Xia Ruqing didn’t speak, just quietly drank her herbal tea.

After a long time, she asked softly.

"Yue Er, what’s the matter?"

Yue Er was somewhat puzzled and quickly set down the teacup.

"Mother, what are you talking about? I’m fine!"

Xia Ruqing gazed at her with a mysterious look.

"How does the saying go? No one knows a daughter like her mother!"

"Your behavior today is so unusual... don’t tell me you’ve suddenly become sensible!"

As the saying goes, unusual means monstrous.

She knew expecting Yue Er to become sensible was like climbing the sky, she hadn’t hoped for it before the age of ten.

So...

Seeing Yue Er like this, there must be a reason.

"Tell me, did you get into trouble again?"

Yue Er was dumbfounded and felt unjustly accused, but she quickly explained.

"No!"

"I didn’t cause trouble, Mother, if you don’t believe me, you can ask Ying Luo!"

Xia Ruqing smiled faintly.

"Ying Luo is like peas in a pod with you, asking her is like not asking!"

She turned to look at Zi Yue.

"Go call all the Wetnurse Sisters beside the Princess, I want to ask them face to face!"

"Yes!"

Zi Yue stepped back with a salute.

Xia Ruqing then turned to look at Yue Er.

"You, I hope you haven’t caused any trouble, or else see how I deal with you!"

Yue Er suddenly smiled bitterly.

But when she thought of how she often worried her mother and father before.

She had nothing else to say, but to shrug.

"Mother, as long as you’re happy!"

...

Zi Yue quickly called over Yue Er’s Wetnurse and Sisters.

After a round of salutes.

Xia Ruqing sat upright and began to question.

"Is the Princess’s health okay these days? How’s the situation in the side hall?"

"This girl hasn’t been causing trouble, has she?"

The Wetnurse and Sisters exchanged glances, feeling puzzled.

Why is the Empress asking this all of a sudden? Didn’t she usually not care?

Did the Princess cause trouble? No, she didn’t!

The Princess has been staying in her room recuperating, healthy and well-behaved.

"What? Is it difficult to answer? Why are you all silent?"

Seeing them like this, Xia Ruqing became more convinced that Yue Er had caused trouble, feeling a mysterious panic.

Was Yue Er scared?

This little girl had never been scared like this, what a big trouble she must have caused.

Her face paled as she glanced at Yue Er, just about to ask.

The Wetnurse and Sisters promptly replied.

"Reporting to the Empress, the Princess has been staying in the chamber these days, taking her medicine on time, nurturing herself well, no mischief, and no trouble caused!"

Xia Ruqing was a bit surprised.

"Oh?"

Did she not cause trouble?

"Then..."

She looked at Yue Er, perplexed.

"Then why are you?"

Yue Er got up and sat beside her, half-pleading, half-fawning, smiling.

"Mother!"

"I just missed you, truly didn’t cause trouble!"

"Please let them all go. This room full of people makes it quite hot!"

Looking at her daughter’s pitiful face, Xia Ruqing’s heart softened and she waved her hand.

"Everyone, leave now!"

The Wetnurse and Sisters complied and left, Zi Su also closed the door and exited.

Only the mother and daughter remained inside.

Xia Ruqing pulled Yue Er off her, helpless.

"Now you should say!"

"Why?"

Yue Er obediently sat to the side, and after a long silence, she suddenly said.

"Mother!"

"You don’t need to worry!"

"Father has betrayed you, but you still have brothers, you still have me!"

"We won’t stand by and watch you be wronged!"

Xia Ruqing: "..."

She couldn’t return to her senses for a long while, dazed before continuing.

"Who on earth has been telling you lies?"

Yue Er looked serious.

"It’s spread all across the Harem!"

"Mother, don’t worry, my brothers and I will protect you!"

Xia Ruqing was at a loss.

"You..."

"That’s unnecessary, I don’t need protection!"

"You don’t need to mind Harem affairs, these aren’t things a little girl should concern herself with!"

"No need to bring up such matters in the future, just focus on your studies!"
