Shock! The maid in the Marquis's mansion gave birth to the eldest son of the prince

"Congratulations, sister-in-law. You finally got your wish and found Qianqian. Come here, Qianqian, and let your aunt take a good look at you."

In Kunning Palace, Empress Xiao took Chan Yi's hand and touched her black hair. Although she had a slim figure, her face had almond eyes, rosy cheeks, and skin as white as snow, just like a fairy in a painting.

"Thank you, Queen. You don't know that I am really satisfied with my life now that I have found Qianqian. It's just because of my negligence that Qianqian in our family has suffered so much. Whenever I think of it, my heart feels like it's being cut by a knife." Mrs. Lin said with tears in her eyes.

"Mother, don't be sad. This is clearly the fault of that bad wet nurse. Now that we are reunited as mother and daughter, we should talk about happy things, don't you think?" Chan Yi said playfully to Empress Xiao, tilting her head slightly.

"Our Qianqian is right, sister-in-law, you have to think about it this way. Although Qianqian has been away from your protection for the past few years, she has still grown into a lively and cheerful young lady. Look, her appearance and figure are better than our Qingyuan. What are you worried about?" Empress Xiao said angrily, "In a few days, your mansion will hold an osmanthus banquet. I will bring Qingyuan with me to show my support for you and Qianqian."

"Your Majesty, you are really flattering me. No matter how good our Qianqian is, she can never compare to the princess Qingyuan, who is a royal concubine." Madam Lin said with a smile, "It would be bad if His Majesty heard about it. I heard that His Majesty's health has improved a lot in recent days. When my husband came back and told us about it the other day, we were all so happy. It's really a great thing. Your Majesty can rest assured now."

"Yes, Your Majesty is getting healthier day by day. I can finally put a heavy stone down in my heart. The burden of the prince will be lighter in the future." Empress Xiao said with a smile. She no longer had the faint melancholy of the past, and her peerless beauty was even more beautiful.

"Aunt is so beautiful." Chan Yi was stunned. No wonder her aunt had been favored for so many years and had the last laugh even though His Majesty had Concubine Zhang, his white moonlight. This was definitely inseparable from her peerless beauty and gentle yet strong character.

"This child has such a sweet mouth." Empress Xiao touched her soft little hand and saw the thin calluses on her fingertips. She said distressedly, "From now on, you are the eldest daughter of our Zhenguo Mansion. You are not allowed to do those rough jobs anymore. When you recover, your aunt will ask the maids in the palace to teach you the rules and let your mother find you a good husband."

"Aunt," Chan Yi lowered her head, her ears gradually turning red, "Qian Qian is willing to serve father and mother for the rest of her life and never marry again."

"Silly child, what are you doing..." Empress Xiao looked at her sister-in-law in confusion and said in a gentle voice, "If you still like Pei..."

"Empress, what is the relationship between our Qianqian and the Pei family? Please keep this a secret." Madam Lin said with red eyes, "Even if our Qianqian wants to get married, she must find someone better and must not be wronged again. Tell me, if Qianqian hadn't escaped, she and the child would have died long ago!"

Empress Xiao nodded. Her niece had suffered so much, so how could she be willing to return to the Pei family? Even if she was willing, her brother and sister-in-law would not agree.

"Mother," Chan Yi leaned her head on Madam Lin's shoulder and called softly, "I am willing to stay with you forever."

A few days ago, she was taken back to Beijing by her two brothers. Her mother hugged her and cried bitterly, refusing to let go, saying over and over again that she was sorry for her. Her father also shed tears silently, blaming himself for not protecting her.

Looking at their daughter in plain white clothes and the pretty and cute baby, Xiao Changfeng and Mrs. Lin felt both happy and sad.

Knowing that his daughter had suffered so much in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion and had been pregnant for ten months to give birth to this baby, and looking at the baby's face that looked like Pei Jin, Xiao Changfeng became more and more angry, and he wanted to pick up his sword and go to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion to fight.

Xiao Yuan and Xiao Che finally persuaded their old father. After all, the evil Pei Yunshan and Liu Wan'er were already dead, and Madam Wang was still kind to Qianqian. Let's put this matter aside for now, otherwise Pei Jin would know that Qianqian and the child were taken away by them. If they come to Zhenguo Mansion to harass them every day in the future, wouldn't that be looking for trouble?

From then on, Chan Yi learned that Aunt Liu and Pei Yun committed suicide by burning themselves, while Pei Yunshan and Pei Xun committed suicide by taking poison.

This was an outcome she had never expected. Although she was deeply surprised, since the Dali Temple had concluded that Pei Yunshan and Pei Xun had both committed suicide, then it was true. These evil people deserved to die.

Madam Lin thought that since her daughter was found, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion must give her a proper status.

She thought of a plan, saying that when she went back to Jiangyin to visit her relatives, she met a Taoist priest who had attained immortality in Qingcheng Mountain by chance. The priest said that the child was intelligent, lively and cute, but was destined to have a calamity. If she wanted to survive, she had to wait until she was 18 years old before she could return to her parents.

However, this matter cannot be leaked and cannot be known to outsiders.

Therefore, Mrs. Lin left her daughter in Jiangyin, and let her maternal family take care of her, and told others that her daughter was gone. Now that her daughter has finally turned eighteen, the calamity is averted, and she was brought back to the Duke's Mansion.

In a few days, the Zhenguo Mansion will hold a grand osmanthus banquet to announce the return of their eldest daughter. However, she still needs to discuss the matter of An'er with her daughter in detail.

"This is a gift from your aunt." Empress Xiao was more and more satisfied with Chan Yi's outstanding appearance. She quickly pushed a set of gold, jade, peony and peacock headgear that she had prepared long ago to her and said with a smile, "Do you like it?"

"How could Qianqian not like this gift from my aunt?" Chan Yi squatted down and bowed, saying softly.

"Good, this is a good child." Empress Xiao opened the brocade box, and the hair ornaments were dazzling, dazzling everyone's eyes. She took out a dazzling golden peacock hairpin and inserted it into Chan Yi's hair.

"Aunt, this is too expensive." Chan Yi said hurriedly.

"Keep it. This is a gift from your aunt. You should repay her well in the future." Mrs. Lin looked at her daughter with a smile and nodded repeatedly.

"It looks beautiful, really beautiful. This headdress is suitable for a young lady like Qianqian. Sister-in-law, you see, Qianqian looks a bit like me when I was young." Empress Xiao held Chanyi's hand and looked left and right, very satisfied.

"Empress, it's common for aunt and niece to look alike. If our Qianqian dresses up well, she will definitely look more like you." Mrs. Lin smiled even more happily when she saw how much Empress Xiao liked Qianqian.

"Sister-in-law, Qianqian is back. You don't need to take any supplements. I see that you look much better in just these two days." Empress Xiao joked.

Mrs. Lin looked at Chan Yi lovingly, her heart full of guilt. She wished she could give her all the best things. She planned to buy her some pretty dresses and give her all her beautiful jewelry.

"It's getting late, and the Queen must be tired. We'll leave the palace now." Madam Lin had noticed that her daughter was getting restless. She sighed slightly in her heart. A woman is different when she becomes a mother. Qianqian must be thinking about feeding An'er.

Two palace maids led them out of the palace. In the carriage at the west corner gate, An'er started to cry. Since she was born, she had never been away from her mother for such a long time. She opened her mouth and cried loudly.

"Little miss, look, this rattle is so fun. Look, look!" Qinghe held the rattle and teased the little baby.

Mother Zhou held An'er in her arms and rocked her gently: "Little Miss, you are the best. Don't cry, don't cry. Mother will be out soon. Wait a little longer, dear..."

She lifted the curtain and looked outside, hoping that she could meet her own prince.
