It kept on raining for three whole days before it finally stopped. Qian Zhuo opened the window and breathed a long sigh of relief, "The air is the freshest after the rain. What a pity that it has rained for too long, and everything gets damp, which is quite annoying."
Qian Liu removed the bedclothes on Yun Shang's bed and said smilingly, "Fortunately, I've prepared it in advance. As soon as the rain stopped, I've asked the servants to light the stove, and fetch new quilts to dry on it so that I can change them later."
Yun Shang, with a book in her hand, was looking out of the window. After hearing what they two said, she had a smile on her face.
"Mother! Mother!"
outside the door came the cry of Bao'er. Yun Shang hurriedly put aside the book in her hand. Just as she stood up, she saw Bao'er stumbling in.
"Ouch, be careful. Don't run too fast. What if you fall?"
"I am a man. I am not afraid," answered Bao'er while jumping into Yun Shang's arms and looking up at her. He pleaded, "Mother, let's go and play."
All the people in the hall burst into laughter when they saw the expression on Bao'er's face. The wet nurse entered the room and was still a little breathless, but she immediately knelt down and apologized, "I am sorry. I failed to catch up with the Prince..."
Yun Shang waved her hand and said, "All right. Get up, please. Children of this age, though not running stably, are very energetic. Thus it's normal that you can't catch up with him. It doesn't matter if you are in the Weiyang Palace. If you get out of the Weiyang Palace, just ask more servants to keep an eye on him."
"Yes, your majesty," the wet nurse answered, lowering her eyes.
Qian Zhuo smiled and said, "It has been raining for several days. The Prince has been confined in the Weiyang Palace and can't go out to play. He must be very restrained."
Bao'er grabbed Yun Shang's hand and asked her to get up, "Mother, let's go, let's..."
Yun Shang smiled and shook her head helplessly, "If your father sees it, he would say that you are unruly."
Although she said so, she stood up and said, "Let's go. It has been raining these days. I haven't gone out for a long time. Let's take a walk in the Imperial Garden."
Bao'er took Yun Shang's hand and went out of the inner hall. He suddenly looked around and asked Yun Shang," And Yaya will go out too."
Yun Shang couldn't help laughing, "You would never forget Yaya wherever you go."
Then se turned around and ordered the servants, "Go and see if Yaya is drinking milk or sleeping. If she is awake and is not eating, bring her here."
Yaya had just been fed and was still awake. A servant brought her here, and Yun Shang took it over. She looked at her up and down and said, "I've been busy since Ning Qian sent her to the palace, so I didn't pay much attention to this child. It is only a few days, but she seems to have gained some weight."
The babysitter who was in charge of taking care of Yaya said in a hurry, "When we first came to the palace, Miss just recovered. Maybe because of her illness, she was a little thin then. After these days, she has recovered a little, and she looks more better."
"That's good,"
as Yun Shang spoke, she turned to appreciate Yaya, "It's really rare to see a girl as beautiful as Yaya. Her eyes look like Wang Jinhuan's, while her face, nose and mouth are very similar to Ning Qian's. She must be a beauty in the future."
Qian Zhuo smiled and said, "Qian Qian and Mister Wang are both good-looking. I'm sure Yaya will not be bad in looking."
"Yaya beautiful," Bao'er pulled Yun Shang's sleeve and nodded, "Yes, it's beautiful."
