Chapter 4 — The Little Crown Prince's Nurse

Sure enough, although the queen still had a cold face, seeing that her son liked me, her voice still softened three points. After all, children are the purest. It knows who treats you well and who treats you badly. The Crown Prince may like me, proving that I am the most suitable person to take care of him. She looked at the palace maids kneeling in front of her and said:

"If the Crown Prince's care is unfavorable, each person will be beaten with ten strokes and sent to the Hoan Y Department. As for you, in consideration that you are the nurse feeding the Crown Prince, I will forgive you this time."

The queen's long finger wearing armor pointed towards Tieu Ha. She quickly bowed her head in gratitude:

“Thank you for your life.”

The little Crown Prince sobbed. Even though I'm not crying anymore, I can see that it's still very uncomfortable. 【I can't cry anymore, otherwise my mother will blame my sister, huh huh huh, my butt is both itchy and painful.】 I looked at her heart, knew I couldn't wait any longer, and quickly said:

“Ladies and gentlemen, we immediately started making disposable diapers and baby powder.”

"Yes. If you do well, you will be greatly rewarded. From now on, you will be responsible for taking care of the little Crown Prince's daily activities. Tieu Ha is in charge of breastfeeding. There is a little maid's room in the palace. You should know how to make food for children, right?"

The Queen narrowed her eyes at me.

I quickly nodded:

"Food for babies, women know how to make it. From now on, they will definitely take care of the little Crown Prince wholeheartedly."

The Queen calmly said yes and ordered someone to prepare everything I needed. First, based on the size of the little Crown Prince, I cut mulberry peel paper, then spread a layer of fine ash on top. The outer layer uses a thin layer of soft cotton fabric, folded on both sides to prevent leakage. Finally, I used a soft cotton bag to gently tie it around the little Crown Prince's waist. After that, we grind the talc into a very fine powder, add a little cornstarch, and add dried honeysuckle and rosemary powder to help clear heat and reduce itching. All ingredients are crushed into small pieces and sifted over and over again. Filter out the coarse residue, keep the powder as smooth as a cloud of smoke, then put the powder into a small white jade box. I also used cotton to make a homemade powder puff. While I was doing these things, the queen was still sitting on the noble concubine's bed next to me, watching. She ate the fruit the palace maid had prepared and said:

"This palace heard that you came from a merchant family. Were these things taught to you at home?"

"Dear ladies, women's houses sell makeup. Women have heard and seen these things since they were young, so they researched these things themselves."

I answered carefully. The Queen let out a loud noise, looking at the little Crown Prince sleeping on the bed with his bare butt, her eyes were much gentler. Waiting for me to finish these things, the little Crown Prince also drank milk and lay down. But not long after lying down, he immediately cried. The Queen looked impatient and raised her hand to pick it up. 【My stomach hurts, it hurts...】 I saw the sound of the Crown Prince's heart and immediately understood that this was a stomach ache. Be sure to hold it face down in your arms to alleviate this symptom.

"Your highness, let the women do it. The little Crown Prince must have intestinal cramps, this is a common symptom in babies."

I held the Crown Prince face down in my arms and patted his back. The little Crown Prince's two hands hugged my arms, his mouth smacked twice. 【So comfortable... you smell so good on my sister.】 Her heart's voice came. I curled my lips and smiled slightly. Although his mother is very scary, if she moves a little, she wants to beat her to death The palace maids are chaotic, but the little Crown Prince is really adorable. It was also thanks to the little Crown Prince liking me that I was able to escape death one after another. I will remember this kindness. Seeing the little Crown Prince stop crying and still sleeping soundly in my arms, for the first time the queen gently curled her lips and smiled at me. I understand, she has begun to change her view of me, no longer thinking that I am a fraud. In the royal palace, only those with value have the right to continue living. I hugged the little Crown Prince and let the palace maid gently apply baby powder on his little butt. Just a moment later, the red mark gradually receded a lot. Seeing that this thing really had a miraculous effect, and the little Crown Prince slept sweetly, the queen's mood seemed to be much better. She said in a low voice:

“Not bad, reward.”

When I returned to my resting place, I had another gold bar in my hand. That's the reward the queen just gave. In the royal family, even though we always have to be careful, if we make a mistake, our head will fall off our neck. But the reward is enough for the average family to spend a year or two. It's true that the risk is high, the reward is also high. I happily hid the gold bar in the cupboard. As long as the little Crown Prince sticks to me and accepts me, I will have support in this palace. In the following days, whenever the little Crown Prince felt uncomfortable or did not like to eat, the subtitles of his heart would promptly appear before our eyes. Therefore, we also clearly understand its preferences. The Little Prince likes to eat cinnamon flower cakes, likes to eat steamed yam, and also likes to eat steamed egg soup. But it's allergic to walnuts. Before that, I fed him some porridge mashed from peach kernels, and he still used his heart to speak, his tongue tingling. This is a sign of an allergy. If you eat too much, your life will be dangerous. I specifically instructed the maids at Phuong Nghi Palace to absolutely not feed the Crown Prince anything with peach kernels. In ancient times, there was no way to talk about allergies, but based on my previous performance, along with the Crown Prince's love and trust in me, the palace ladies believed my words without a shadow of a doubt. After staying at Phuong Nghi Palace for nearly two months, the little Crown Prince became more and more attached to me. Except when sleeping, I need to watch over almost all twelve hours of the day. If I'm not in sight, it will cry. 【I want sister, sister.】
