The fourth princess consort was just speaking with consort Shu about an interesting story of the children in the estate when she heard people announce from outside that Mu cefei came to pay respect to her Ladyship.

This was Mu Xi Yao's first time going to palace to pay consort Shu respect. In the past few days, she already inquired discreetly Zhong Zheng Lin about consort She's preferences. Today she came to please her mother-in-law. As soon as she entered inside, she saw consort Shu sitting on the head seat, next to her was the fourth princess consort and the woman standing behind the fourth princess consort and attending her should be the cefei.

Mu Xi Yao's face was full of smiles. She courteously greeted the three. Soon after, she was called over by consort Shu to sit on the other side.

Mu Xi Yao looked at that standing cefei, hesitated for a while before sitting down in a poised manner. Pregnant women always enjoyed the excellent treatment. She wasn't the slightest bit shy with strangers. With a smiling face, Mu Xi Yao ordered Mo Lan to bring greeting gifts and then she apologized to the fourth princess consort, embarrassed, "Fourth sister-in-law, qie didn't know you will also come to visit her Ladyship today. Hence, qie didn't take along the share that was prepared specially for you. How about I have people send it to your estate after returning back?" Her eyelashes blinked and blinked, looking very charming. Consort Shu, who was watching her, was amused by her.

Mu Xi Yao opened the box in her hand and said, "Your Ladyship, qie has heard from his Highness that you are very fond of vanilla. As a result, qie has made a whole set of jewelry for you. Do you like them?" while holding the box filled with neatly arranged jewelry before consort Shu.

That face of hers which brimmed with expectation made consort Shu take the box without thinking. People who came to consort Shu’s place, all had to serve her cautiously and with great care. This Mu cefei, on the contrary, seemed very warm-hearted.

Looking at a set of twelve jewelry pinned on the water-blue colored foil inside the box, all of them glimmering unifiedly in gold, they were indeed very beautiful. The arrangement of vanilla was very particular. From flower bud earring to dangling hairpin with full blossom ornament, all their postures were vivid and realistic, immensely opulent. What made people pleasantly surprised was that the inside of the box was scented with vanilla fragrance. The scent of the flower was very delightful. Even the jewelry was laced slightly with the scent that lingered faintly around them.

The women were nicely surprised. They praised Mu Xi Yao on and on for half a day. Soon, they were all beguiled by her till they didn't know whether they were standing on their heads or heels. After a while, they found the same topic to engage in. As they were conversing, Mu Xi Yao abruptly wheedled at consort Shu, aggrieved, "Your Ladyship, your grandson is hungry. May qie ask for light refreshments for him?"

Consort Shu covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed at her for shamelessly using a child as a pretext to ask for snacks. Mu Xi Yao immediately complained that his sixth Highness has used the excuse that his son didn't like the taste of garlic to prohibit putting garlic paste to the meals at home.

In an instant, all the women in the room broke into laughter. They didn't expect that the sixth Highness who always carries a serious expression would also have such mischievous moments.

Consort Shu has then recalled that during Zhong Zheng Lin's childhood when he was just a tiny bit, he would knit his brows and throw a tantrum wanting about not wanting mutton that was stained by garlic. For a moment, thousand of feeling welled up in consort Shu's mind.

How long has it been? That child has never again revealed his feeling to outside like that. She subsequently looked at Mu she's eyes that were filled with smiles. She made Zhong Zheng Lin a target while she enjoyed the food. Consort Shu smiled. This one actually had a big-hearted and easy-going personality. She didn't carry complicated thoughts like others. It was no surprise that the sixth would dote on her.

When Zhong Zheng Lin entered inside, he saw Mu Xi Yao hold consort Shu's arm in a familiar manner while enthusiastically praising that palace's layered crepe cake tasted authentic. Her little mouth kept speaking without a pause.

Zhong Zheng Lin first paid respect to consort Shu and then greeted with others. As soon as he sat down and took a sip of tea, he saw Mu Xi Yao's hand again stretch out toward the plate with pastry. Unconcerned of others around, his brows knitted, "How many did you have?"

Everyone in the hall quietened, surprised by him. Only Mu Xi Yao pouted her mouth and muttered guiltily, "Can your Highness not constantly stare at qie's pastries?" That appearance of hers looked so aggrieved.

Consort Shu didn't understand, "What's the matter? If you like to eat pastries, take more of them." As she spoke, she was again going to have people serve her some.

"Mother-consort, the imperial physician prohibited her from eating too much of sweets. He said that if she had too much of them, the child would grow to be too big. It would result in unfavorable labor." Zhong Zheng Lin watched Mu Xi Yao with a grave expression, yet his words were directed at consort Shu.

"This child. The imperial physician has already said so. You should listen to him. Women giving birth to a child is a big matter. It cannot be taken easily." Consort Shu looked amusedly at Mu Xi Yao who was pouting, not happy that she was being controlled by Zhong Zheng Lin. She was simply a child. Consort Shu thought that Mu Xi Yao was just way too young, only fifteen
