Chapter 147 The Eighth Lady's Plot
In the 47th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, the little wolf arrived with the babbling sounds. As soon as he could speak, Yihuan taught him to call "Emother".

It’s just that this kid learned to say “hungry” without any instruction to express his desire to eat.

When the little wolf said "hungry" for the first time, Yihuan was very happy. The same was true for Honghui and Liuliu. They said "Eh Eh" at first, and then slowly called "mother".

Who would have thought that the little guy cried out "hungry" a few times, and when he had nothing to eat, he actually started crying.

As soon as the child cried, the nanny quickly picked him up to comfort him, but found that his little mouth was pointing towards the granary.

After repeating this several times, Yihuan finally understood that the boy clearly meant "hungry" and that she, as his mother, was just being wishful thinking.

Yinzhen listened to Yihuan's accusation, resisted the urge to laugh, and used grapes to tease the little wolf to call "Ama". The little wolf was very polite and made a few "Ahhh" sounds. Yihuan looked at Yinzhen's satisfied expression and did not expose him.

Is the son calling "Ama"? He is asking for food, what a foodie!

Just when Yihuan was worrying about what to do with her son's excessive appetite, Hongdou from the Eighth Prince's house suddenly lost her appetite and refused to drink milk.

Nalan was so anxious that her lips were blistered. She changed many wet nurses, but Hongdou would still eat at first, but gradually she wouldn't even open her mouth, so she had to keep changing wet nurses.

The eighth prince asked the imperial physician to see him, and he said that he had a loss of appetite and would be fine when he grew up.

But as Nalan looked at the child who was getting thinner day by day, she wondered if he could still grow up.

The Eighth Prince also valued this child very much. He changed many doctors but none of them could explain the reason. Finally, his wet nurse said hesitantly: "Master, why don't we go to the temple to worship? Maybe the eldest prince is too young and he might have bumped into something."

It is said that when people are desperate, they will try all kinds of medical treatments. Nalan was at a loss and could only take the child to worship Buddha and even paid for a perpetual lamp.

Little Hongdou had a rare full meal in the Buddhist temple. Nalan looked up with a haggard face and smiled at the Eighth Prince in surprise: "Master, you see, it really works!"

I thought this was the beginning of Hongdou's recovery, but Nalan didn't expect it was the beginning of their separation.

On his way back, the Eighth Prince pondered over what the monk had said to him: "The concubine of your mansion is destined to have a son. The fact that the child has been able to hold out for so long before showing any problems is probably because the Eighth Prince is so blessed that he was able to suppress the problem. The secret cannot be revealed. I am sorry for saying anything because the child is still young."

When the Eighth Prince asked again, the old monk said nothing more, which made him believe it a little more.

In fact, the old monk’s words are easy to verify, except that it makes Qing’er suffer.

When they returned home and it was time to feed her in the evening, Hongdou tilted her head and refused to eat. Nalan was extremely anxious and asked the Eighth Prince to come over. However, his first words made Nalan stunned.

"Nurse, take Hongdou to Fu Jin's place and raise her for a while."

The nurse suspected that she had heard it wrong and did not dare to move.

Nalan took a quick step and snatched her son from the nurse's arms. She looked at the Eighth Prince with some caution: "Master, what do you mean by this?"

The Eighth Prince smiled bitterly, "Don't think too much. Today, the monk said that if you want Hongdou to live, you can't keep her by your side. I was also skeptical at first, but given the current situation, it's better to separate them first."

"Fujin is under the watchful eye of the master, so she dare not treat Hongdou badly."

Nalan watched the Eighth Prince take Hongdou away and fainted immediately.

The anxiety of so many days and the shock of losing her child made Nalan fall ill.

When the Eighth Lady heard that she was asked to raise the child, her first reaction was to refuse: "Master, this is the concubine's child, not the concubine's. It is inconvenient for me to interfere." The Eighth Prince smiled at the Eighth Lady while holding Hongdou: "Look how cute he is, and he is smiling at you."

When the Eighth Lady saw the cute child, her expression softened a little: "No, just keep him here for a few days, and then I'll send him back when Nalan recovers. Why bother to bother me?"

"What does Yifujin mean?"

The Eighth Lady said in a loud voice: "Change Yudie. From now on, this child is mine, our eldest son."

"Why do you say that, Madam? We are still young, and you may have your own children." The Eighth Prince advised.

The Eighth Lady touched Hongdou's smooth little face and said, "Master, don't coax me. It's fine. Why did Nalan give the child to me? There must be something wrong. I don't care what it is. If you want me to raise this child, then it has to be my child."

"Okay, okay, all is up to you. But changing Yudie is no small matter. I have to find a time when the Emperor is in a good mood to submit the memorial. You take care of the child first." The Eighth Prince had no choice but to compromise.

"I obey your command." The Eighth Lady picked up the child and rocked him, "Let's change the wet nurse. Tomorrow I will go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to select a few wet nurses that our eldest prince likes."

Seeing this, the Eighth Prince acquiesced to her behavior.

When the Ninth Lady came to visit, she talked about things at the Eighth Master's house.

"Fourth sister-in-law, I admire Eighth sister-in-law. She was beaten into the dust by the emperor, but she was able to turn things around." Ninth Concubine was very emotional. "I heard that their eldest prince has been eating well and getting fatter since he entered Eighth sister-in-law's courtyard. Although Nalan still has the right to run the family, her son is in the hands of Eighth sister-in-law, so she can only obey in everything."

"In my opinion, the fact that the child refused to eat and drink in the beginning must have been caused by the Eighth Sister-in-law."

Yihua was making socks for Little Wolf: "Eighth Master may not be unaware of this, but he just can't think of a solution. For the sake of the child's life, he can only do this."

"Eighth sister-in-law, aren't you afraid of Eighth Master's anger?" Ninth Concubine stretched out her hand and wiped her neck.

Yihuan laughed: "How can we know the inside story of their relationship? What if they conspired to get something for nothing and took Nalan's child?"

"No way." The Ninth Lady opened her mouth wide, not knowing what to say.

"You also said that Nalan picked out wet nurses from the Imperial Household Department and even the Nalan family, but the child just refused to eat or drink, and would rather drink rice soup than eat. How could the Eighth Prince not find any clues about such a strange thing with his means?" Influenced by modern times, Yihuan always felt that the Eighth Prince was a thoughtful person.

The Ninth Lady took a long while to find her chin again: "If that's the case, then Nalan is too pitiful."

"I'm just guessing. It can't be counted." Yihuan bit off the thread, and a pair of socks embroidered with the cartoon image of "Big Bad Wolf" came out.

The Ninth Lady focused her attention on Yihua's hand: "What is this? It's a little weird, but pretty cute."

"This is a wolf." Yihua smiled and showed it to Lady Jiu, and asked Yuxue to take out Liuliu's doll and show it to her, "This is Liuliu's favorite rabbit."

"Wow, so cute." The Ninth Lady's eyes lit up and she held the large rabbit doll tightly.

"What kind of animal do you like? I'll find time to make one for you." Yihuan asked.

"I'm so sorry, Fourth Sister-in-law, I like foxes." The Ninth Lady said in a cheerful tone, and it was obvious that she really liked them.

"Okay, I'll send it to you after you're well in a few days."
