C280 calmness (2/2)

Zhong Miao Yi had already learned not to think about it anymore. She stood up, stretched her body a bit, and then headed towards Zhong Jiming's room.

When they arrived at the door, they realized why the Ah Jiu did not come back. The wet nurse was holding onto the Ah Jiu's hand as she gave Zhong Jiming a bath.

Zhong Miao Yi had never seen a child take a bath before, so she curiously walked in. Behind the protective screen, they could hear the sound of their laughter and the misty water vapor.

No one expected the Zhong Miao Yi to suddenly come in, and both the wet nurse and the Ah Jiu were stunned.

”Why is the Empress here?” Ah Jiu was quick to react and was somewhat happy.

Zhong Jiming was sitting tiny in the bathtub, curiously playing with the water, he put his hand that was covered in water into his mouth, raised his head and saw Zhong Miao Yi, then laughed out loud.

The nurse also smiled and said, ”Young master is truly happy that the Empress came. It can be seen that she has a deep affection for you.”

”Let me carry him after I'm done.” Zhong Miao Yi stared at Zhong Jiming, his little arms and legs were white and tender, his stomach was injured previously, so Zhong Miao Yi was worried that Zhong Jiming might lose weight, but it seemed like he did not have to worry anymore.

The wet nurse came over and continued to bathe Zhong Jiming in the bath with Ah Jiu.

”Is his appetite good? ”It's not that bad, right?” Zhong Miao Yi asked again.

The wet nurse held Zhong Jiming and wiped his back, ”Young master's appetite is good, I have more or less recovered in this period of time.”

Zhong Jiming did not know what the Zhong Miao Yi and the others were talking about, but he had already forgotten about what happened just now.

He was very good at bathing, unlike some of the other children the nurse said he was always crying and coaxing.

After putting on her clothes, the nanny used a soft handkerchief to lightly wipe Zhong Jiming's head.

The Zhong Miao Yi watched on quietly from the side. Zhong Jiming slowly grew up and was very much like the Concubine Xian.

She had always thought that the Concubine Xian was truly indifferent towards life and death.

But at a moment of life or death, who would be able to face it?

Just like herself, she had once thought that she was fearless, exhausted both physically and mentally, and was determined to die.

However, in this life, how could he let go of all the shackles so easily? Zhong Miao Yi could not be so selfish. Even in that situation, she forced herself to live.

The wet nurse wiped off half of his hair. Zhong Jiming looked at the door with his big eyes as he made babbling sounds as if he wanted to go out.

Zhong Miao Yi reached out and carried him over. Zhong Jiming smiled happily as she embraced Zhong Miao Yi's neck. Her soft hands and the unique fragrance of milk from a child made Zhong Miao Yi feel at ease and soft-hearted.

”Are you sure you want to go out and play?” Zhong Miao Yi gently said.

Zhong Jiming did not understand, grabbing onto Zhong Miao Yi's hair and sending it into his mouth.

Zhong Miao Yi pulled her hair back, not even noticing the smile on her face.

She carried Zhong Jiming and walked out. It was almost dusk, and the sky had a slight orange glow.

However, Zhong Jiming's attention was not on the setting sun. He reached out to grab a sapling at the side of the veranda, and the Zhong Miao Yi pulled him back before locking him in his embrace: ”That cannot be pulled.”

After saying that, he felt that it was funny how he talked to Zhong Jiming in all seriousness. He was so young, so he couldn't understand.
