Meng Wan sat there holding a teacup pretending to drink tea, but looked at these people coldly. Xie Fen would not bring Xiao Huan out for no reason. Looking at Hu's performance, it is clear that she is not only unaware of Xie Fen's actions, but also very dissatisfied.

Everyone was staring at the baby in Xiaohuan's belly with their own ulterior motives. One thing was certain, Xiaohuan wanted to give birth to the baby, as could be seen from the fact that the pregnancy-maintaining medicine was brought in by Mrs. Zhong.

If you think about it carefully, since she has been taken in by the prince, she will never leave again and will stay in the palace for the rest of her life. With this child, Xiaohuan will have someone to rely on. No matter whether it is a boy or a girl, they are all the masters of the Prince's Mansion. Moreover, the prince said that he will raise his concubine after the child is born.

Having a status is already a good ending for a girl, and a helpless girl at that.

According to her previous analysis, Mrs. Hu should also hope that Xiaohuan can be born. As for whether the baby can grow up, it depends on Mrs. Hu's arrangements. At least for now, she will keep Xiaohuan's baby.

The problem is, she clearly knew that the ones who least wanted Xiaohuan to give birth to a child were Xie Fen and Li, so why did she let Xiaohuan stay in Li's yard with confidence? Was it just because Xiaohuan was Li's maid?

No, there must be some other intention, but Meng Wan really can't guess it now. Damn, the women in the ancient harem are too powerful. When I read ancient novels before, I felt that the plots of the harem were exaggerated. There were not so many swords and sabers. But now I feel that the novels are still weak compared to the Shenjunwang Mansion.

In short, you still have to be careful today. When nothing happens, find an excuse to leave quickly and don't get involved in their mess.

Thinking this, Meng Wan held the teacup and watched them chatting hypocritically with just the right smile.

By this time, Brother Hong had been awakened by the torment. He struggled to get off the ground. The nanny put him on the ground, and Brother Hong walked with his short legs to look at this one, then looked at that. He spoke incoherently, but walked steadily, and his hands were very fast. He grabbed whatever he saw and put it into his mouth in the blink of an eye.

When Brother Hong saw the colorful ornaments on the Duobao Pavilion, he pointed at them with a curious look on his face.

Mother Hong brought in the goat milk that Mrs. Hu had to drink every day. Xie Fen quickly stood up and took it. While stirring it gently with a spoon, she turned back to Meng Wan and said, "Please help me bring Brother Hong back. He has very quick hands. Don't pull the things off the shelf anymore. They are all fragile."

Hu nodded, thinking that you are quite knowledgeable, you only come here to mention the things above, thinking that I don't know what you are up to. But it's useless for you to talk, those are all for my sister Ning and brother Zheng.

Meng Wan had been looking at Xiaohuan. When Xiaohuan took off her cloak, he could see her slightly bulging belly. Because she was thin to begin with, her belly had indeed grown bigger.

Xie Fen had already said this, so Meng Wan couldn't just ignore it. She slowly stood up and walked towards Brother Hong. The nurse watched her pass by and quickly stepped back. Meng Wan smiled slightly, perhaps because she was afraid of becoming the second nurse to be kicked out?

"Brother Hong, do you like it? If you do, go ask grandma. She loves you so much, she will definitely let you choose."

Zhou Yingning was immersed in the joy she had just had. The reason was that she had finally mastered the song "Xiao Xiao Shui Jian" yesterday, and she came to tell Mrs. Hu early in the morning. Mrs. Hu thought something was wrong when she saw Zhou Yingning coming to pay her respects so early. When she heard that she had mastered the song, she was also very happy and asked Mrs. Hong to invite Mrs. Qin tomorrow to ask her to help give her some pointers.

Madam Qin was originally a palace maid. When she was released from the palace at a certain age, she was hired by an official as his second wife. Unexpectedly, the official died of a serious illness. The official said that Madam Qin had killed his child, so he joined forces with his family and drove her out of the house with a divorce letter.

She had no family and no children, so she had to find a way to make a living. Fortunately, when she was in the palace, she often accompanied the concubines to practice the piano. The nobles did not play very well, but she reached a very high level.

With this skill, she gradually became well-known, and later she opened a school for girls to teach young ladies how to play the piano. Young ladies from the royal palace like Zhou Yingning would not go to her to learn, but it was common for them to occasionally invite her to teach them a thing or two.

"Everything is good for those who are short-sighted." Zhou Yingning said disdainfully, seemingly in a low voice, but in fact everyone could hear it. I just don't know whether she was talking about Meng Wan or Brother Hong, maybe it was a double entendre.

Xie Fen was angry, but she didn't dare to say anything. Hu Shi seemed not to hear anything, and she sat there without taking the bowl Xie Fen handed over. The maid next to her also stood still like a log. Xie Fen had no choice but to pick up the silver spoon and gently scooped the goat's milk and put it to Hu Shi's mouth. Hu Shi gently opened her mouth and ate it, then nodded, motioning Xie Fen to continue.

Meng Wan just wanted to pull Hong Ge back, and Hong Ge indeed followed her back, but after taking two steps, he was attracted by the silent belt on Meng Wan's waist and reached out to take it.

Meng Wan suddenly remembered the last time this guy smeared her with Wosi candy. Xie Fen said at that time that Brother Hong liked new things. Just now, she saw Brother Hong staring at the colorful treasures on the shelves of Duobao Pavilion. She subconsciously felt that something was wrong, as if something was going to happen.

Meng Wan was bending over and looking at Brother Hong who was pulling up her skirt when she heard light footsteps behind her. She turned around suddenly and saw that Brother Hong's wet nurse, who had been far away from her just now, had walked behind her and was giving her a flattering smile.

Dongmei, who had always been by her side, was now standing with the maid brought by Xiaohuan, seemingly helping her to untie something.

Meng Wan became alert. Looking at Xiaohuan who was sitting one step away from him and sipping water, he suddenly guessed what Xie Fen was going to do.

Brother Hong was holding me up to touch that quiet step. If I ducked or stood up hastily like last time, I would be bumped by the nanny who sneaked up behind me. If she pushed me, I would fall right into Xiaohuan's arms...

You guys, Xie Fen, go and fight your own battles. You keep using me as a scapegoat. I don't want to pay any attention to you, but you are becoming more and more arrogant.

Okay, since you don’t feel sorry for your own son, then I’ll just use him.

"Brother Hong, you like this from Auntie, so I'll give it to you." Meng Wan said as she untied the tiara and squatted down to give it to Brother Hong. She deliberately waved the tiara in front of Brother Hong's eyes, and whispered in Brother Hong's ear, "Look at the one your third aunt is wearing around her waist, isn't it nice?"

Brother Hong didn't speak clearly, but he understood what was said very well. He went to see Zhou Yingning after hearing what was said.

Around Zhou Yingning's waist was a belt that Zhou Zheng had just found for her. It came from the Western Regions. The wide belt was embellished with various gems, big and small, red and green, sparkling and very beautiful.

Brother Hong was immediately attracted and walked towards Zhou Yingning with his short legs.

Zhou Yingning disliked Brother Hong very much. On weekdays, she never hugged him, teased him, or even looked at him directly.

She sat next to Xiaohuan. Meng Wan held Hongge's hand and walked a few steps forward. Hongge crossed his hands and rushed towards Zhou Yingning's waist. Zhou Yingning stood up and asked, "What are you doing?"

With just one sentence, the room became chaotic.

She stood up in such a hurry that she knocked over the embroidery stool next to her, which hit Hongge's feet. Hongge was stunned at first, and then started to cry loudly.

Zhou Yingning didn't expect to hit Brother Hong. She didn't like him, but it was not good to let the child get hurt. She turned around and thought about whether to help Brother Hong up, but Xiaohuan stood up after seeing Brother Hong crying. Maybe she wanted to help him, but Zhou Yingning bumped into her when she turned around. Xiaohuan stumbled and tried to hold the stool, but she didn't hold it firmly and was about to fall.

Meng Wan quickly reached out her hand and supported Xiao Huan. Xiao Huan stopped and stroked her chest, her face full of fear. She turned around and saw that it was Meng Wan who supported her. She quickly whispered, "Thank you, Second Madam."

Everything happened so fast that Xie Fen stood there in a daze holding the spoon. She didn't react until she saw her nanny pick up Hong Ge. She put down the bowl, walked over quickly, and hugged Hong Ge.
