Chapter 465: Chapter 461: Pregnant_1

In the evening, the little boy, Wumei, woke up. Seeing Yingbao, he instinctively shrunk his body.

“Don’t be afraid.” Yingbao held a bowl of rice porridge and spoke gently, “I am your auntie, I’m here to feed you porridge.”

Wumei frowned, looking suspiciously at the bowl that Yingbao was holding. “Where’s Atu?” he asked.

Yingbao asked, “Who is Atu? Is he one of the eunuchs?”

Wumei kept his mouth shut and didn’t answer.

Yingbao scooped up a spoonful of porridge and brought it to his mouth, but the boy was wary and refused to open his mouth.

Yingbao sighed, took a bite herself, then tried to feed him again: “Don’t worry, there’s no poison in the porridge. Look, I’ve even had some.”

Only then did the little boy open his mouth and swallow a mouthful of porridge.

The porridge had shreds of chicken, a little bit of chopped greens and egg drops. It tasted much better than before.

Soon, Wumei had eaten more than half of the bowl of porridge.

Yingbao wiped his mouth for him and spoke softly: “You can walk around a bit, then rest.”

Listening to her, Wumei obediently stretched out his feet, allowing Yingbao to put on his shoes.

Patting his head, Yingbao helped him put on his shoes and led him to the door.

Outside, the sky was still bright and a few maids were busy.

They moved dried clothes and bedding inside, folded them one by one, and put them away.

After standing for a while, Wumei’s lips began to turn pale, as if he was very tired.

Yingbao picked him up, took him back inside and settled him back on a small bed.

She took off his shoes and covered him with a quilt, “If you’re tired, sleep for a while. You can go outside and play tomorrow.”

Wumei nodded and closed his eyes.

Early the next morning, Wumei woke up. Under the care of Magnolia, he put on his clothes and shoes. They took him to Gongfang, where he brushed his teeth and washed his face.

When they were feeding him, Wumei looked around. Not seeing the auntie from yesterday, he felt anxious, “Where’s auntie?”

“The commandery princess is not up yet.” Magnolia scooped up some porridge with a spoon and fed him, “After you finish your meal, you will probably see her.”

Wumei shrunk his neck, avoiding the spoon that Magnolia had, “I want auntie to feed me.”

Seeing his refusal to eat, Magnolia had no choice but to put down the bowl, “Then you will have to wait.”

Wumei nodded and stubbornly sat at the table waiting.

When Yingbao and Wei Zhan came out of the bedroom together, they saw Wumei sitting listlessly at the table, looking pitiful and helpless.

“What happened?” Yingbao rubbed his head and took out a bottle of antidote, taking off the cap, “Here, drink the antidote.”

Wumei took it, sniffed it, then poured it into his mouth.

The medicine was sweet and fragrant. After drinking it, he felt extremely comfortable all over.

Wumei reluctantly gave the bottle back to Yingbao and tilted his neck up, “Auntie, feed me.”

“Alright, I will feed you after I clean up,” Yingbao said.

Wei Zhan curiously looked at Wumei, “He looks much smaller than Wuyang.” He had already learnt from his wife yesterday that Wuyang was the real prince and this one was just a decoy. He marveled, Yingbao was truly brave. If someone sneaked into the Princess Residence and harmed Wuyang, his entire family might suffer.

“Wumei should be about two months older than Wuyang,” Yingbao said, taking a piece of cloth from a maid to wipe her face.

Wei Zhan shook his head, “I really can’t tell.”

Wumei was a good half a head shorter than Wuyang. His face was grayish and pale, breaking one’s heart to see. He wondered what on earth the boy had gone through in the palace.

While the couple were talking, Wuyang ran in. He grabbed Yingbao’s thigh, looking up at her and crying, “Brother Jiang Bao won’t let me have a school bag. Wuu Wuu Wuu… I want a school bag too, I want to go to school with them.”

Yingbao crouched down and wiped his tears, “You’re still small, how can you go to school?”

“I’m not small! I’m not small! I’m almost four years old!” Wuyang argued.
