Chapter 249 2 Diapers
Listening to the footsteps of King Zhao getting farther and farther away, Ji Yunqing suddenly lay on his back on the bed, pulled up his small quilt to cover himself, closed his eyes and went to sleep peacefully.
A man's yang energy is sufficient. The place where King Zhao lay was shrouded in warmth, as if someone had warmed the bed for her.
Before going to bed, Ji Yunqing was vaguely thinking that he should install the stove for the winter tomorrow.
next day
Ji Yunqing heard the latest news that Concubine Qian had difficulty in childbirth and had not given birth to the baby since last night.
Concubine Cen had spotting after she returned home last night. Now she is crying and making a fuss, insisting that it was Concubine He who brought bad luck upon her!
"Why so sudden?"
Ji Yunqing was shocked when he heard this. Was it someone's conspiracy or an accident?
"Master, please stop worrying about it. Didn't you get enough of yesterday's excitement?"
As Nanny An spoke, she walked towards Ji Yunqing holding Ruirui.
"If you are not busy, please spend more time with the Fourth Young Master. The child misses his mother!"
Ji Yunqing smiled awkwardly: "I am under house arrest now, so I won't join in the fun. Besides, did I go to watch the fun yesterday? I was worried that if I was not around, someone would do something bad and frame me."
As he spoke, Ji Yunqing himself began to believe what he said.
There is nothing wrong with what she said.
That's it!
Nanny An was speechless: "As long as the master is happy"
As she spoke, she signaled the maid to bring the crib over and place the child in front of Ji Yunqing.
Nanny An really couldn't understand her master's thinking.
Other people treat their children as treasures in every way and want to look at them every day, just like her former master in the palace and other masters.
But this master only teases me when he is patient, and just ignores me when he is impatient.
Ji Yunqing stretched out his claws and gently tugged at the little guy's chubby hand, which felt soft.
Ruirui smiled happily at her mother.
"Mammy, you see, he can laugh quite well. He is becoming more and more like a human being."
Nanny An: "...Master, this is just a person, how can you say that about a child?"
The little guy's chubby hands were annoyed by being pinched, but even if he pulled his arms back, he couldn't stop his mother's surging love, so he simply rolled over on the bed, stuck out his little butt and hid his little hands under his belly.
Ji Yunqing hadn't had enough fun yet. Seeing the little guy sticking his butt up unconsciously, she simply reached out and tore off the diaper that was tightly stuffed in.
Nanny An was too late to stop her: "Master, you——"
Ji Yunqing said confidently: "Mammy, you see he keeps covering his buttocks. I am worried that the little guy's skin color will not be evenly tanned. Let this side be exposed to the sun as well."
Besides, the weather is nice today, let's let him dry his butt out in the sun!"
Nanny An was speechless for a moment after hearing this, and didn't know how to refute for a long time. It took her a long time to react: "Master, you didn't show that side of me!"
“I won’t pee my pants.”
Good
Nanny An completely gave up arguing with Ji Yunqing. Her master was full of twisted ideas and she had no chance of winning the argument.
Having won the debate, Ji Yunqing was bored and a little proud, so he reached out to throw the diaper away.
Raising children in the royal palace is quite extravagant. The diapers are thrown away after one use and are not even washed.
Fortunately, the fabric used is comfortable and not too expensive. After using one batch, they are replaced with another. Ji Yunqing got used to it after using it for a while.
She took it in her hand and was about to throw it away, but suddenly she stopped and said, "Mammy, didn't our Ruirui's diaper have been changed a long time ago?"
Nanny An was confused: "Master, I just changed this diaper, it shouldn't be dirty."
Could it be that the young master had secretly exerted force at some point and she hadn't noticed?
Is there any dirt on it?
Nanny An couldn't help but look at the little guy who was unconscious and still hiding his hands and smiling at his mother. If he got involved in anything, the master would really dislike the little guy.
Ji Yunqing knew that Nanny An had misunderstood, so she patiently explained, "I mean, don't the mansion always send us a lot of diapers for Ruirui?
The last batch should have been used up, but the new batch this time should have been used for several days, right?"
Nanny An understood what was said. She nodded and said, "Master, this batch of diapers was delivered at the beginning of the month and has been used for about four or five days."
While asking, I was thinking, what does the master mean by asking this?
Ji Yunqing showed the diaper in her hand to Nanny An: "Look, this is from the last batch."
Although the two batches of diapers appear to be roughly the same, a closer look reveals differences.
The previous batch was lighter in color, this batch is slightly darker in color, and there are subtle differences in the feel to the touch.
As for why Ji Yunqing knew this, it was because she was a very responsible person. Every time something was used for her own children, Ji Yunqing would take a close look at it.
Nanny An's face immediately darkened: "Could it be that the wet nurse is passing off inferior goods as good ones?" This was the first thing that came to her mind.
Because the diapers in the palace were of very good quality, the wet nurse wanted to secretly take the clean diapers out and sell them, so she washed the previously used diapers and used them for the child.
In Nanny An's memory, she had heard of such outrageous things before.
——After all, if people live long enough, a turtle can turn into a tortoise, and anything outrageous can happen.
Soon, Nanny An went to interrogate the wet nurse.
Ji Yunqing didn't go over. She lazily hugged the chubby and soft child and discussed with the little guy seriously: "Mother wants to lie down and sleep for a while, but she is short of a pillow. Why don't you be my pillow!"
The little guy happily shouted: "Okay! Be a pillow!"
"so nice"
Ji Yunqing stroked the little guy's thin and short hair, but did not dare to use too much force.
What if my hair stops growing because I use too much force?
What if the child becomes stupid after being rubbed? Where can she go to cry?
In the end, Ji Yunqing didn't rest her head on the little guy's soft belly. She was worried that if she pushed too hard, the baby would poop out.
The mother and son talked nonsense for a while, and soon Nanny An came out.
Her slightly wrinkled face was surprisingly serious: "Master, the nanny said that this diaper was not put back by her after washing. She took it out of the diaper box when she went to get the diapers this morning."
Aunt An said this, showing the diaper in her hand.
"Master, look, there is another piece of the same kind here."
In her hand was another diaper of the same style and color as the one Ruirui was using today.
After hearing this, Ji Yunqing looked at the diaper carefully again and confirmed that it was new and had never been used, and there was no trace of wrinkles after washing.
She was very surprised: "This is strange, could it be that two previous pieces were hidden in the package when it was delivered from the mansion?" It is possible that the previous ones were not used up, and the servants just stuffed them in.
Nanny An shook her head: "That's unlikely."
The servants are not so careless in their work. Even if there is any surplus, it will not be used in their yard.
Ji Yunqing frowned subconsciously, but Hong Feng suddenly remembered something: "Master, when the nanny was packing up, didn't she say that two diapers were missing?"
At that time, the master helped to count the number. The wet nurse found that two pieces were missing and kept complaining about it for a long time.
Hongfeng, who is also not very good at counting, was deeply impressed by this.
