According to Xiaobao’s memory in his previous life, Father Emperor had an empress, but he had never seen her.

He only knew that the empress was the daughter of the Xu Family and was the former Consort Jin.

Ever since he could remember, Empress Xu had been confined in Fengyi Palace and had never shown up in front of others. The Xu Family had also always kept a low profile and remained inconspicuous, unlike the typical maiden families of an empress.

Xiaobao had always been puzzled about this. This kind of puzzlement had not been resolved even until his death. He thought it may have been involved with his mother’s death, but he also felt that there was more to that. Empress Xu must have done something else to have angered his father or the Head of the Xu family had done something. But in the end, the empress had to take the fall. Otherwise, the situation wouldn’t have been like this.

Xiaobao laid on the couch and turned over.

His mother had left to wash his clothes. The two things that made Xiaobao the most ashamed after his rebirth was that his mother continued to try to breastfeed him and that he couldn’t control his urination.

Pooping was fine. He could make noises to get the attention of others when he needed to go. His mother and Yuchan were both attentive people and they could understand.

But urinating-

Xiaobao has tried several times, but he doesn’t feel any urges before he would suddenly pee.

Yaoniang blamed this on the day Yan’er had scared Xiaobao.

As for this kind of reasoning, Xiaobao was embarrassed, but he was willing to believe it in his heart. Otherwise, after living for so many years, how was it possible that he couldn’t even control his urination?

But in the past two days, he has been learning to control the timing. From incontinence whenever he urinated to being able to gradually control it now and then. Now he could even call an adult whenever he needed to pee.

Yaoniang realized that her son was getting more and more sensible. Now, he even knew to tell an adult whenever he needed to pee.

Yaoniang walked in from outside with water droplets still on hand.

It was noon, and everyone was eating. She took advantage of the break to wash her son’s clothes.

Yuchan didn’t want to let her wash the clothes, saying that she mustn’t damage her hands, but Yaoniang was used to this type of work. On top of that, Yuchan had to look after Xiaobao. How would she have free time? It wouldn’t be good to have Yuchan take care of her own child and also make her wash his clothes. Looking after a child all on her own was already not easy.

“Lady, let’s eat.” When there was no one around, Yuchan never called her Nanny Su, but Lady. Yaoniang had asked her not to call her lady several times, but she didn’t listen. This was why Xiaobao concluded that his mother was his father’s concubine. Yet he couldn’t understand why his mother refused to live a life of wealth and honour as his father’s concubine, but wanted to work as a wet nurse.

When he first arrived, Xiaobao couldn’t understand it. But after the trip to Siyi Courtyard, he gained a little understanding. This was most likely his mother’s stupid way to protect herself. Working as a wet nurse, no one would think of her as a threat or plot schemes to harm her.

But why did he become the son of a vendor? After Xiaobao’s rebirth, the limited information he had learned told him that his father was not Jin Wang, but a street vendor.

This was something he still doesn’t understand.

Yaoniang’s meal was ready on the table but Yuchan had already finished eating.

Yaoniang washed her hands and sat down at the table. While eating, she said to Yuchan, “Have you eaten enough? If you haven’t eaten enough, accompany me and eat more.”

Yuchan shook her head. “I’m good. Lady, enjoy your meal. I will put some clothes on for Young Master Xiaobao.” After Xiaobao had wet his pants, Yaoniang washed him but didn’t put a diaper on for him. Yuchan was afraid that Xiaobao would urinate again and wet the bed.

“What young master? Just call him Xiaobao.” He wasn’t even a young master in the first place.

Yuchan came to the bed, and Xiaobao, lying on the bed, was wiggling his fleshy little butt. It was unknown what he was doing. Yuchan was puzzled by these movements before, but then Yaoniang told her that babies at this age were like this. They would flip over and amuse themselves. Once they got the hang of flipping over, they would learn to crawl. After crawling, they would learn to sit. Then they would walk. Yuchan didn’t need to interfere unless he was about to fall off the bed.

Yuchan wrapped her hands around Xiaobao’s waist and dragged him towards herself. She said, “Young Master, this servant will help you change your diapers.”

Xiaobao’s face was red with shame. To avoid being seen by others, he just laid there. Yuchan tucked the folded diaper into his waistband and turned him over like a pancake. Then she tucked the other end of the diaper into the waistband in front of him.

Yuchan couldn’t help but laugh, “Young Master Xiaobao is really easy to be shy. Lady, look at him covering his eyes with his small hands.”

Yaoniang, who was sitting at the table, looked over and saw her son curled up like a shrimp. He had covered his eyes with his chubby hands. She had no idea what was going on in his mind throughout the day. She has never seen babies at his age be so sensible

The two laughed at how cute Xiaobao was. Xiaobao’s face turned red and he rolled to the foot of the bed to hide. Yuchan suddenly thought of something, “Mammy Mu asked me to tell you to pick a maid from the small courtyard to serve you.”

Yaoniang was taken aback for a moment.

Seeing this, what else couldn’t Yuchan understand? After spending these last few days at Yaoniang’s side, she could tell that she was timid and didn’t like to attract others’ attention. His highness and Mammy Mu also knew this, so they are probably planning a gradual approach.

Yuchan continued with an excuse, “She would be this servant’s helper so that you wouldn’t need to pitch in and work nonstop.”

Yaoniang thought about it. Yuchan was the only one looking after Xiaobao during the day and would most likely also get tired. It would be good to have a helper. But when picking the candidates, she hesitated. She subconsciously thought of Xiang Cao, but the relationship between Xiang Cao and Zhou Sheng…

“Then Ah Xia.” In the small courtyard, these two girls were the only ones that had a decent relationship with Yaoniang.

Xiaobao’s ears were perked as he listened to the adults’ words and his thoughts wandered.
