Chapter 1214: Creating Something is Fun

Tong Yu shoved the tray into Ning Shus hands and whispered, Go inside and pour tea for the ladies.

Ning Shu was completely at a loss as she walked in with the tray to pour tea for Lady Niohuru and Young Lady Niohuru.

Young Lady Niohuru watched as Ning Shu poured the tea, then she took a sip and said with a nod, This tea is pretty good.

After pouring the tea, Ning Shu retreated to the side to start acting as a pillar. Lady Niohuru asked Young Lady Niohuru, Did you need something from me?

Its nothing much, I just wanted to chat with you a little. Its so boring to have nothing to do all day. Young Lady Niohuru tapped her chin, then dipped a finger in the teacup to draw on the table with the droplet of water.

Ning Shu glanced at what Young Lady Niohuru had written on the table. It was the words the fourth prince.

Didnt you invent cross-st.i.tching? If you have nothing to do, you can do some embroidery. Lady Niohuru lifted the cup and took a sip of tea before saying this softly.

Young Lady Niohuru wiped her fingers with a handkerchief as she said, Creating something is fun, but I dont have much patience.

When Ning Shu heard the word cross-st.i.tch, she glanced at Young Lady Niohuru. She was probably a transmigrator. The fact that she had squeezed herself into Yinzhens inner courtyard made her intentions obvious.

Since the transmigrator was Young Lady Niohuru, then someone else was the reincarnator in this inner courtyard. Who was the reincarnator? Lady Ula Nara? Lady Nian? Or someone else?

Looks like theres nothing fun here in your courtyard either, Big Sister. Then Ill be leaving. Young Lady Niohuru stood up and curtsied towards Lady Niohuru, then turned and left.

Lady Niohuru watched as Young Lady Niohuru left, then she turned to Ning Shu and said, Put all the teacups away.

Understood. Ning Shu collected the teacups on the table, put them on the tray, then left.

She couldnt really understand things. Lady Niohuru had pulled her out just to show her off a bit, then after displaying her a bit, she was closing her inside the fence again.

What the heck was with this!?

Ning Shu just tried to ignore these questions and when night came, she went to care of the little lady. The little lady was now two months old and finally had a bit of meat on her frame. Shed also occasionally move her arms and legs a little.

This child had developed a rather strange habit, which was that shed sleep during the day and lay awake with her eyes open at night to wait for Ning Shus arrival.

When she smelled the goat milk, shed hum softly.

Ning Shu looked at the child as she slowly fed her the goat milk. There were a couple scratches on the childs face. The child would occasionally scratch her own face. The wet nurse clearly couldve made a small glove for the child, but she hadnt done so.

Ning Shu found Lady Songs behavior unbelievable. Ever since she got out of the puerperium period, she started trying all sorts of ways to drag Yinzhen to her courtyard in order to have another child, a son.

Why couldnt she just take good care of the girl that she had given birth to? Compared to working hard and chasing after that illusory son, it would be better to calmly raise a sweet little angel.

After feeding the child the milk, Ning Shu rubbed some anti-itch powder on the child before placing her back in the cradle. Ning Shu glanced at the wet nurse who was sleeping on the bed and shook her head. She had rubbed medicinal powder on the child and the child even carried the scent of goat milk, but the wet nurse hadnt noticed anything. Or perhaps she had noticed, but she just didnt care.

Ning Shu didnt even know how long shed be able to take care of this child. Shed have to leave this world as soon as the task was finished.

But to be honest, the princesses of the Qing Dynasty all tended to have rather short lives. Theyd often die in their twenties and most of them were sent away in treaty marriages.

However, it was better than dying before even getting a chance to know anything.

These past two months, Ning Shu had come to take care of the child in the middle of the night every night. During the day, she didnt interact with the child at all.

Ning Shu didnt know when this task would end. 2333 didnt inform her that she could leave this world either.

So it seemed that shed still have to stay.

As more and more children filled this inner courtyard, the struggle would become more and more intense.

There was a suffocating sensation, like a storm was approaching.

Ning Shu just wanted to survive in this inner courtyard.

Once the child fell asleep, Ning Shu sneaked back to her room. She had just gotten to the door when she heard a voice. Where did you sneak off to this late at night?

Ning Shu was startled. When she turned around, she saw someone walk out of the shadows. It was Tong Yu.

Big Sis Tong Yu, what are you doing here? asked Ning Shu, a little surprised.

Tong Yu frowned. Im the one who wants to ask where you went in the middle of the night. Ive been waiting for you for ages.
