I married the crippled queen and became the most favored queen in the capital

He understood better than anyone that his son's sudden arrival would easily arouse suspicion.

Everyone knew that when Luo Nianxi left Chang'an City, he was still paralyzed in bed and unable to move, so there was no way the child could be his.

What's more, Luo Nianxi has been in Northern Chu for more than half a year, and a son suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Others are bound to make a big fuss about it.

However, giving this child a legitimate identity is better than letting them bring back a nameless child!

The eighth day of May

It is a spring day with flowers blooming. Today, more than nine months have passed since Luo Nianxi left Chang'an City, and she has returned here again.

Everyone in Prince Yan's mansion was very happy about her return. They stood on both sides of the gate, watching the carriage stop, and waited eagerly for Princess Yan to come down.

Chun Tao happily rushed to the front of the carriage and called out to the people inside:

"Princess, you are finally back?"

Bai Lan jumped off the carriage, put her finger to her lips, and said "hush" to her. Chun Tao looked at her in confusion.

"What's wrong? Where's the princess?"

"Keep your voice down, the young master is asleep, don't wake him up."

"Young Master?"

Chuntao looked at her in astonishment.

"You mean the young master? Where did this young master come from?"

At this moment, Luo Nianxi had already gotten off the carriage with the help of Bai Lan, holding a baby in her arms.

Leng Yiyan also came over at this time. He looked at her and the child in her arms with tenderness, and then instructed the servant guarding the door:

"Come over and pay your respects to Princess Yan and the young master."

When everyone heard this, they were stunned at first, and then they all knelt down in front of Luo Nianxi.

"Good luck to the princess, good luck to the young master."

Although everyone didn't know how this young master suddenly appeared, no one dared to ask more questions.

Luo Nianxi raised her eyes and looked at these familiar servants and the familiar Prince Yan's Mansion, and her heart felt much more open.

"My lady, you must be tired after walking all this way. Go back to your room and rest!"

Although they haven't had their wedding night yet, he has changed the way he addresses her, and Luo Nianxi seems to have gotten used to him calling her that.

Leng Yiyan waved his hand, and the servants hurriedly made way for them. Luo Nianxi lightly lifted her skirt and walked forward, while Bai Lan followed behind her with the child in her arms. Surrounded by the crowd, they returned to Prince Yan's Mansion...

……

Princess Yan returned to the capital and brought back a child, who was her own. This news was like a thunderclap, exploding over the heads of the people in Chang'an. At the same time, it also shocked all the civil and military officials in the court, as well as the emperor and the empress.

May 9th

Last night, Luo Nianxi moved into Qingfeng Pavilion with her child. She told Leng Yiyan that they should not consummate the marriage before the formal marriage. Leng Yiyan respected her very much and agreed to let her stay in Qingfeng Pavilion temporarily.

She got up early in the morning and just changed the baby's diaper when Bai Lan ran in from outside.

"Princess, please go out and take a look!"

She frowned slightly.

"What happened?"

"The prince has invited more than a dozen wet nurses for you to choose from. They are waiting outside now."

A dozen? Is he really exaggerating?

She quickly wrapped the child up, asked Bai Lan to hold the child, and followed her out the door.

There were indeed more than a dozen wet nurses standing in the yard. When they saw Luo Nianxi coming out, they hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Good luck to the princess."

"Everyone is free of charge!"

She looked at the dozen or so wet nurses; their ages were not much different.

“Who just had a baby?”

A dozen women raised their hands high.

"Princess, I just gave birth to my child a month ago."

"Princess, my child is three months old."

"Princess, my child is one year old..."

"..."

Among these women, only one had her head bowed very low.

Luo Nianxi came to her and asked in surprise:

"You've never had a child?"

The woman bowed and replied quickly:

"I gave birth to a child, but it died. However, I have milk. If you want to use me, I will take good care of the little prince."

Judging from her appearance, she is not very old, but a pitiful person.

She nodded directly.

"Okay, then you stay and try it for three days. If it doesn't suit you, I'll change it."

Hearing this, the women became anxious.

"Princess, her child died while she was taking care of him. This is unlucky. You can't use her."

"Yes, she can't even take care of her own child, how can she take care of your child? Don't trust her."

"That's right. What if you end up taking care of the young master and make him sick? You should think twice!"

"..."

Listening to the increasingly unpleasant words of these women, Luo Nianxi waved impatiently at the guards at the door.

"Send them out of the house. They're making my ears hurt."

The women wanted to say something else, but when they saw a dozen guards coming over, no one dared to speak and they all turned around and left angrily.

The woman who stayed behind suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Luo Nianxi in gratitude.

"Thank you, Princess, for letting me stay. Thank you, Princess..."

Luo Nianxi raised her hand to signal her to stand up. She stood up again, with her hands on her chest, looking frightened.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Ruan Xiaoshuang."

"Where are you from? How old are you?"

"I... I'm 20 years old this year. My husband's family is from Ducheng, but I was divorced because my child died young. My mother's family is from a small village near the capital. My mother's family is afraid that I will be embarrassed if I go back, so they won't let me go back."

At this point, the woman tried hard to hold back her tears, and then she said slowly:

"But don't worry, I'm not the unlucky person they say I am. My child died young because she was a girl. My mother-in-law smothered the child to death with a quilt when I was not at home..."

When she said this, she may have thought of her child who died young, and her eyes began to well up, but she tried hard not to cry.

She was suffocated to death because she gave birth to a girl? She was also divorced?

This sentence made Luo Nianxi's anger rise immediately.

"Why didn't you report it to the police?"

"It's no use reporting it. She doesn't admit it, and the Ducheng officials can't do anything about it."

This……

This world is so unfair.

She nodded sympathetically.

"She hurt your child. You have to take revenge for that. But for now, you have to take good care of my child. If there is a chance, I will let you take revenge."

Hearing this, Ruan Xiaoshuang knelt on her knees again.

"Thank you, princess. Thank you, princess."

"Get up, Bai Lan, and give the child to her. You will stay with her in Qingfeng Pavilion for the next few days. Xiao Shuang, if you have anything to say, just tell Bai Lan. I will use you for three days. If you are suitable, you can stay. If not, it's another matter. You must not be careless when it comes to taking care of the child."

Xiao Shuang nodded and agreed.

"Thank you, Princess. Thank you, Princess. Don't worry, I will take good care of the young master."

Luo Nianxi then nodded to Bai Lan, indicating that she should be optimistic about this woman.

Even though she described her life story as pitiful, it was not enough for her to trust her too much.

After Bai Lan brought Xiao Shuang into the house, Luo Nianxi was about to turn around and go back to take a nap when Chun Tao ran in breathlessly.

"Princess, there are two women in the front hall, they are looking for you, and they look very majestic. Please go and see them!"
