Roses blooming in the heart

Early the next morning, Abelide asked her personal doctor to come over to check Elena's body. He used all kinds of large and small methods on Elena, which made Elena, who had always been well-behaved, suddenly become irritable, even though Anna Already by her side to comfort her, Elena still kept crying this morning, and it wasn't until Abelide sent her over to have lunch together at noon that she stopped crying.

But the eyes that had been crying all morning were red, like a little rabbit, and the voice that had become slightly hoarse made it difficult for Abelide not to notice.

"Why are you crying like this?"

Abelide took Elena and held her in her arms, looking at Anna who sent Elena over.

The little guy who had been crying all morning started babbling as soon as Abelide hugged her, seeming to accuse her of what happened to her that morning.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness started crying when he touched those instruments, and we couldn't help him." Anna's tone was obviously guilty.

This was the first time something like this had happened to her, and Anna was ashamed of not completing the task.

"You don't like it?"

Abelide asked Elena.

The poor little thing was babbling and waving her chubby little fleshy hands, telling her pain.

It was as if he had been tortured in the morning.

Abelide didn't say anything else. She couldn't understand baby talk, especially the words of a little guy who was not even one year old.

He just held her in his arms and patted Elena's back gently to comfort her. At the same time, he took Elena's lunch and brought it to her mouth. The sweet milk immediately captured Elena's stomach and made her no longer want it. Crying.

And today, in addition to preparing milk for Elena, there are also some complementary foods.

Abelide didn't know much about raising children, so she specially found some experts in this field. Of course, these people also went out of their way to come to the door themselves. After all, if your resume says that you have taken care of a princess, it must be an incomparable honor.

According to those people, Elena is now at the age where it’s time to add complementary foods.

So today I prepared some fruit puree and rice cereal for Elena, a little bit each portion, and I will decide what food to add tomorrow based on Elena's acceptance.

After lunch, Abelide did not go directly to the study to handle official duties. Instead, she carried Elena and accompanied her to do some of the remaining examinations today.

For this reason, Prime Minister Hathaway, who came to the palace early to wait for Abelide without even eating lunch, waited in the study for two hours.

Abelide watched the examination process, and then knew why Elena had been crying all morning.

"Didn't you think about Elena when you gave her to her?" Abelide didn't seem to have any intention of enduring her anger. She didn't even look at the people kneeling on the ground and just held Elena in her arms. , said: "You all go and get a piece of ice to put on your body. No one is allowed to take it off until the ice melts."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

No one dares to have any objections. His Majesty hates this the most.

For the remaining examinations, the instruments were warmed up in advance, so that Elena no longer resisted, struggled and cried, and the remaining examinations ended smoothly.

All the personnel present were punished by being watched by personal guards. An ice cube was placed on the abdomen and allowed to melt naturally. However, this ice cube was not a simple ice cube. It was specially developed. The extremely low temperature can directly cause frostbite to people. degree, and melts very slowly.

Abelide was not interested in reading this now, so she carried Elena to the study.

Originally, I wanted to hand Elena over to Anna, and let Anna take Elena back to the dormitory to coax her to take a nap.

But Elena kept crying as soon as she was in someone else's arms, so Abelide had no choice but to carry her to the study.

Prime Minister Hathaway, who had been waiting for Alberid in the study for more than two hours, almost cried with joy when she saw her noble Majesty appear. At the same time, she also immediately noticed the person who could be held in His Majesty's arms. children.

Recently, the center of public opinion among the entire empire's upper class—Princess Elena.

"See your majesty, see your highness the princess."

Hathaway said it as if she had said it countless times before.

Abelide raised her eyes and glanced at Hathaway who was leaning over. She didn't say anything. She just held Elena and sat down in her seat. She raised her hand to rub Elena who was about to fall asleep and said, "Look. She's saying hello to you, won't you say anything back?"

"what."

Elena responded lazily. She was too sleepy now and it was already time for her to take a nap.

"what."

Elena covered her mouth and made a yawning motion.

Such an action made Alberid look down a few more times. When Elena closed her eyes and was about to fall asleep directly, Alberid called the maid to carry Elena to the lounge next door to sleep. .

After the maid took Elena away, Abelide asked Hathaway to stand up.

"What are you doing bending over all the time? Stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Hathaway still followed the etiquette and did everything she had to do. At the same time, she was reminding herself that His Majesty's patience was almost exhausted and she had to handle her own affairs quickly.

"Tell me, what should be the best way to organize Elena's prom? I feel like none of the plans they gave me are satisfactory to me. I want to hear your suggestions."

Instead of talking about official business first, Abelide mentioned Princess Elena's ball. Every royal member of the St. Lawrence Empire had his own ball on the full moon after his birth. The specifications of this ball reflected his importance and Status is a very important matter.

But Elena does not have the blood of the Saint Lawrence Empire.

This is the biggest contradiction. It is enough to give royal status to a person without native blood, but it is abnormal that the scale of this ball should exceed the Queen's own ball.

After Hathaway considered it, she wanted to persuade the Queen not to be so extravagant. After all, her own birthday had not reached the current level. Abelide had no interest in her birthday. She only held a ball every year in accordance with tradition, but she often did not attend.

But when Hathaway inadvertently raised her eyes and saw Abelide's cold smile, she immediately put away all the thoughts of admonishment in her heart.

The queen can promote herself or throw herself away. Her family does not have many connections in the political arena, and when she climbed to her current position, she has offended too many people. If the queen no longer supports her, the consequences for her will be dire. One can imagine that those old nobles wanted to tear her into pieces right now.

She must maintain her place in the Queen's heart, she must be valuable.

Hathaway lowered her eyes and calmed down before raising her head and said: "I think the people should also know about Princess Elena on this day. The people have always had great enthusiasm for the royal family. I believe that if they can If you see His Highness's photos or videos on the day of His Highness's ball, you will definitely like His Highness and build up support for His Highness. At the same time, the size of this ball should be similar to that of your coronation ball. After all, this is the first time a newborn baby has been born to the royal family in decades. , the significance of Her Royal Highness is incomparable to that of ordinary princes and princesses."

After Hathaway finished speaking, there was no response for a long time.

The deathly silence forced Hathaway to tighten her nerves all the time. Just when the beads of sweat were about to fall, the silence was finally broken.

"good."

Abelide clapped her hands, with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. She looked at the person she promoted in front of her, and she already had a plan in mind, and said, "I'll do what you said. Now let's talk about the matter of entrusting the Duke. "

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Even so, Hathaway's hanging heart was not relieved until the moment she left the palace.

At dinner time, Abelide fed Elena a bowl of nutty rice cereal. In the rice cereal, she added nuts that had been ground into powder as soon as they came out of the oven. Elena liked the sweet taste. He didn't even drink the milk that he loved most before, and kept looking at the small bowl in Abelide's hand.

It's a pity that we can't eat more complementary foods now, and the rice cereal is only one or two mouthfuls. Now after eating it, I can only drink milk if I don't want to.

"Ah ah ah ah ah."

Elena tried to resist.

"only this."

Elena opened her mouth as if to say something, and Abelide put the pacifier in her mouth. The sweet taste made Elena hold it and drink obediently.

The words "really delicious" are written all over her face.
