Jin Wang Dotes on His Concubine

it still wasn’t over yet.

 

   There wasn’t much for Yaoniang to do.
She only needed to follow the crowd.
Empress Wei, who kept in mind that she was pregnant, had ordered a palace maid to prepare her a room for her to rest in when she gets tired.

 

   But no matter what, there were many guests present, so it wasn’t good to go overboard.
She took Xiaobao to rest for a while before going out again and did this a couple of times.
Overall, nothing major happened.

 

   During this period Yaoniang also met with someone new, the consort of Qing Wang.

 

   For some reason, Consort Qing was very enthusiastic towards Yaoniang and took the initiative to talk to her.
Generally speaking, consorts would interact with consorts and side consorts with other side consorts.
They didn’t mix.
But Consort Qing, who was a main consort, came to find Yaoniang, who was only a side consort.

 

   Later, Yaoniang heard from Consort Qing that Qing Wang had a good relationship with Jin Wang while they were still in the capital.
Then she realized that Jin Wang must have arranged this for her.
He was likely afraid that she would have no one to interact with and would only stand to the side awkwardly.

 

   Consort Qing’s surname was Xiao, and her appearance was both beautiful and exquisite.
She had a three-year-old son and should no mishaps occur this child would likely be the heir of Qing Wang Manor.
Yan Ge’er was an introverted and shy child.
Unlike the other children at his age who were always playing around, he sat beside his mother and didn’t make any fuss.

 

   Xiaobao was also very quiet.

 

   Putting the two together, they could still play with each other.
Yan Ge’er took good care of his younger cousin and took the initiative to give his own toy to Xiaobao.

 

   “To be honest, it’s only because there’s a lot of people here and he’s a bit shy around strangers.
If we were still back in the manor, he would’ve long overturned the skies with his naughtiness.” After hearing Yaoniang compliment her son as being obedient, Consort Qing said this with a tone of disdain.
But looking at her happiness, it was obvious that her words were insincere.
What mothers liked to hear most was people praising their children.

 

   “Xiaobao is the same.
If there are many people around, he will behave himself.
When we’re back home, he’s also very unruly.
Recently, he even brought home a kitten from who knows where.
Every day, he would nag me to have the maids make clothes for the kitten…”

 

   It was a pity that Huahua didn’t like to wear the clothes made for it, so they could only make toys for Huahua.

 

   “Cat? Wouldn’t it scratch the child?”

 

   “That doesn’t happen.
This kitten is very well behaved or it’s still young, so its teeth and claws aren’t done growing yet.
Xiaobao is also only allowed to play with the cat for a short time every day……”

 

   When mothers gather together, there were always countless things to say.
While the two mothers were talking to the side, Yan Ge’er and Xiaobao were on the couch, playing with a roly-poly toy.

 

   Actually, Xiaobao was listening to Yaoniang and Consort Qing talking with his ears perked.
But from time to time he would fiddle with the toy to coax Yan Ge’er.

 

   The two brothers completely misunderstood each other’s thoughts.
Yan Ge’er wanted to let his younger brother play, and would always push back the roly-poly toy that was pushed over by Xiaobao.
Xiaobao thought that Yan Ge’er wanted to show him how to play with it, so he fiddled with it, bored.

 

   Yan Ge’er was also well-behaved.
He wasn’t a noisy child and simply watched Xiaobao play in silence.

 

   What an obedient child.
He was also very great-looking, completely different from the rough and boorish boy from Qing Wang Manor that liked playing with swords many years from now.
Xiaobao was still an infant, yet he let out a sigh in his heart that didn’t match with this appearance of his whatsoever.

 

   Seeing that it was about time, Yaoniang and Consort Qing tidied up and were about to leave.

 

   This banquet was held from morning to evening.
When the banquet was over, there were shows held in several theatres throughout the palace.

 

   According to their statuses, Consort Qing and Yaoniang should go to Changyin Pavilion.
Since Changyin Pavilion was quite some distance away from the Hall of Union, where they were at, by the time they arrived, most of the seats were already taken.

 

   On the second floor of the east enclosure, there were still a few seats that were reserved for the family members of the princes.
The two quietly went up to the second floor.

 

   Consort Qing was the main consort, so it wasn’t a big deal whether she arrived early or late.
But Yaoniang was different.
Consort Jin had already been here for a while, and Side Consort Xu and Side Consort Liu had also arrived long ago.

 

   Consort Jin glanced at Yaoniang, and said, “Take a seat.
You were the last one we were waiting for.”

 

   Yaoniang blushed.
She was about to say something, when Consort Qing who was at the side smiled and said to Consort Jin, “Fifth sister-in-law, don’t misunderstand.
It was my fault for delaying the little fifth sister-in-law’s arrival.”

 

   This placed Consort Jin in a difficult position.
She didn’t mean to deal with Yaoniang, but she had instinctively blurted out that sentence.
Unexpectedly, Su Yaoniang was quite capable.
It only took her this while to get familiar with Consort Qing.

 

   She even called her little fifth sister-in-law!

 

   Consort Jin smiled and exchanged greetings with Consort Qing and the matter was glossed over like that.

 

   Yaoniang took her seat and gave Xiaobao a separate seat, beside her.
Yu Chan and the little eunuch stood to the side.

 

   “Peace in the World” was being performed on the stage.
Yaoniang has never seen this kind of play before and only thought that it was a bit too dazzling to the eyes.

 

   As they watched the show, something seemed to be happening on the second floor of the main building named ‘Yueshi Building’ to their north side.
