Chapter 44
Chengqian Palace.

Zhen Baoshu took her younger brother's hand, followed behind her mother, and walked into the luxurious palace with her back straight.

Looking down and seeing that the little brother was still a little unhappy, she scratched his palm with her fingers.

The younger brother looked up at her, met her gentle smile, he worked very hard to squeeze out a smile.

For a five-year-old like him, it was quite difficult for him to force a smile.

But there is no way, the younger brother is the youngest son that father loves the most, Concubine Zhen Gui specially confessed that she would bring the younger brother into the palace to show her, who would dare to disobey?
Walking into Concubine Zhen's bedroom, Zhen Baoshu could see from a distance a beautiful woman dressed in jewels lazily leaning on a small couch, and several court ladies and eunuchs were serving her respectfully with lowered eyes.

A court lady gently rubbed her shoulders.

There was a eunuch lying on the ground so that she could put her legs on the eunuch's back, and then two court ladies were beating her legs for her.

A court lady knelt aside and peeled the grape skins for her with bare hands.

There are also several court ladies standing quietly, waiting for her orders at any time.

This style is worthy of being the most favored imperial concubine.

"My wife, Zhen Tang, brought her second daughter, Zhen Baoshu, and her youngest son, Zhen Shijin, to kowtow to the imperial concubine, wishing the imperial concubine a healthy body and a thousand years and a thousand years—"

Tang Yujiao stopped a foot away from Concubine Zhen, and knelt down to pay her respects first.

Zhen Baoshu and Zhen Shijin also knelt down together.

Concubine Zhen accepted this gift, and then she said with a smile, "Sister-in-law please hurry up, our own family does not need so many courtesies."

She motioned for the maid to step forward and help Tang Yujiao and the three of them up.

Tang Yujiao stood up and smiled, "My wife knows that my mother wants us to be close, but this etiquette cannot be broken, and the rules are still necessary."

Concubine Zhen Gui motioned for the maid to bring a stool and give her a seat.

Her eyes fell on Zhen Baoshu and Zhen Shijin.

Zhen Baoshu bowed again, "Auntie."

Zhen Shijin's milky voice followed and called her aunt.

Concubine Zhen smiled and said to Zhen Shijin, "I haven't seen you for a month, and Xiaojin has gained weight again. Last time your father said he would force you to run more laps. It seems that he still has no heart."

Looking at Zhen Baoshu again, she nodded with satisfaction, "Shu'er is also more beautiful."

Just as Zhen Baoshu wanted to thank the concubine for her compliments, she heard Concubine Zhen ask, "Does the wound on the tailbone still hurt?"

Zhen Baoshu, who lowered her head, couldn't help frowning slightly when she heard this.

"The emperor rewarded me with a few bottles of high-quality ointment, which can moisturize the dry itching of the scars and remove the scars. You can take a bottle. If you use it well, you can ask me for it again. My family members are welcome."

"Yes, Shu'er, thank you for your kindness."

She stabilized her emotions, bowed and thanked her.

Concubine Zhen waved her hand to signal the court ladies and eunuchs to step back, leaving only the confidant palace maids to wait on them.

When everyone left, she asked with a smile, "Shu'er, my aunt treats you sincerely now, so don't keep hating my aunt because of those old things."

Zhen Baoshu who had just sat down immediately stood up, knelt down and kowtowed, "Shu'er dare not."

Concubine Zhen still smiled, "It's not that I don't complain, it's just that I don't dare, right?"

Before Zhen Baoshu opened his mouth to plead guilty and explain, Zhen Guifei sighed.

"It's true that my aunt was a little cruel about what happened back then, but there's nothing I can do about it."

"Your father's first wife, Mrs. Zheng, gave birth to your elder brother and elder sister. As a result, your elder sister has six toes on her left foot, and your elder brother also has six fingers on his left hand. They are not normal children."

"We all thought it was Zheng's problem. Who knew that after Zheng's death, your father married your mother, and your mother's twins still have problems."
