Le You gave a sweet smile, her voice soft and tender: "Grandmother Empress Dowager said there were bugs in the medicine, so I couldn't drink it. Don't worry, Mother, I spat it all out."
Shen Wei smiled and hugged the child.
Not far away, Li Wan'er watched the scene, her eyes brimming with barely concealed envy. When her own mother was alive, she too had been embraced and cared for like this every day.

"Wan'er has just moved into Cining Palace. Le You, go pick out some soft pillows from the storeroom and bring them to Wan'er's room," Shen Wei said, patting Le You's small shoulder.
Le You nodded obediently. "Right away!"
She dashed off toward the storeroom, her two personal maids hurrying after her.
