"Miss, please move aside." Chan Yi ignored her and walked around her holding the child.

"Is this child the prince's? Why haven't I heard that the prince has a child? The prince hasn't told my young lady about it? No, it shouldn't be. Oh, I know, it must be the child of a servant in the mansion." The little maid stopped and frowned as she glanced at Su Chanyi, who was only wearing a white narrow-sleeved gauze skirt and had no hair accessories on her head. She was a little unsure about her identity, but her appearance was so beautiful that she couldn't take her eyes off her.

"Miss Biyu, Miss Biyu." Someone was calling from behind. As soon as Su Chanyi heard the voice, she knew it was Muxiang.

She took advantage of Biyu's inattention and quickly walked a few steps to turn into the tree-lined path. She didn't want to talk to this impolite little girl. She looked like she was checking on her, afraid that she didn't know that her master was about to become the prince's wife.

"Miss Biyu, the lady's yard is over there. Why did you come here? It took me so long to find you." Muxiang wiped her sweat. She wanted to blame this unruly little girl, but she was afraid of offending Miss Luo, so she had to swallow her anger and said it.

"Sister Muxiang, I just met a sister holding a baby on the road. I don't know who she is. She walked over there and she wouldn't tell me when I asked her." Biyu said, pointing to the end of the road.

"Maybe it's my sister-in-law who works in the backyard. We have embroiderers and seamstresses in our house, so it's not uncommon for her to have a baby." Muxiang hated her the most because she was always talking and asking questions. She wanted to know everything, as if she really thought she was the housekeeper in the house.

Biyu turned around half-believing and half-doubting, muttering to herself, how could this child be the prince's child when he was so young? Moreover, the woman was dressed in plain clothes and didn't look like the prince's concubine at all. She was being too suspicious.

That's right, my young lady is as beautiful as a fairy, and the prince is indifferent to her, how could he fall in love with a maid and let her give birth to a child? It's absolutely impossible, I'm overthinking it. This woman must have never seen the world, and she must be scared when she sees someone questioning the child. Thinking of this, she felt relieved.

She and Shanhu have been serving the young lady since they were young. Although the Luo family is not rich, they only have one young lady in the family. The master and the mistress love her very much and she has grown up in luxury. If the young lady marries the prince, she and Shanhu will definitely marry in together. In the future, they will be accepted by the prince and perhaps become concubines in this mansion, eating and drinking well, which will be worth their efforts in serving the young lady.

Thinking of this, she walked faster and smiled sweetly at Muxiang, "Sister Muxiang, don't be angry. I lost my way. Let's go."

Seeing that she spoke softly, Muxiang stopped talking and took her to the main courtyard of the marquis's wife.

It is said that Miss Luo endured the pain of her foot injury and made a flower-shaped headband for the lady, inlaid with several precious turquoise stones. This Miss Luo is quite good at pleasing the lady, Muxiang thought.

Chan Yi finally returned to Fang Fei Courtyard with the child in her arms. The weather was getting hotter and the sun was scorching, and she was sweating all over.

She quickly asked Xiao Que'er to help her get a basin of warm water, first washed An'er, and then fed him.

While feeding An'er, she was thinking about how the prince seemed to have suddenly become interested in An'er and even held An'er in his arms today. In the future, she should change the time to pay her respects to the Madam in her room and try to reduce her presence. Otherwise, An'er was so adorable, if he fell in love with her and stared at her closely, how could she take An'er away smoothly in the future!

"Oh, you walk fast." Mother Zhou walked in with a smile, looked at her and said, "I said our young master is blessed. Look, just now I went to the main courtyard, and Madam told us to go back to Zhuxiang Garden."

"Ah? Why? Didn't we just move in?" Chan Yi asked in surprise, while she gently put the sleeping baby into the cradle and covered it with the gauze curtain.

"It's because the Marquis is coming back." Mother Zhou said unhappily, "And Aunt Liu and the others, hum! They are having a good time outside, but it's hard for our Madam."

Chan Yi knew this matter best. She was originally the eldest maidservant by the Madam's side, and some things could not be hidden from them.

Just thinking of the second young master made her shudder, and she felt like a fat worm was crawling on her body. She would never forget the time when he stared at her secretly with an obscene smile.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that she didn't say anything, Mother Zhou asked softly, "Isn't it good to live in Zhuxiang Garden? It would be great to have the prince to protect you."

"I will listen to mother. But you said, mother, the prince is about to arrange a marriage, and I live with him and have a baby. If people knew about it, wouldn't it be..." She said while gently rocking the cradle.

Although this is indeed a good thing, living in Zhuxiang Garden, at least that stinky hooligan will be cautious and dare not be too blatant.

But living together day and night, there is no guarantee that he will not have feelings for An'er. It is better to be safe than sorry. An'er only drinks her milk now, so the lady will acquiesce to her to take An'er away. But when An'er grows up and is weaned, and with such a biological father between him, it is even more difficult to say. She is troubled by this.

"You just think too much. Madam said that the prince gave the young master a good name, it seems that he must like the young master. It is not impossible for you, Chanyi, to become a noble mother in the future." Mother Zhou said while shaking her head.

"Mom, you, our An'er...ah." Chan Yi stopped, lifted the gauze curtain and looked at the little baby who was smacking his lips in his sleep.

"Don't be afraid, the Madam is here." Mother Zhou tucked the gauze curtain lovingly and said softly, "Now that we have the prince, what are you worried about? Raise the baby well, your blessings are still to come."

Chan Yi gave a bitter smile, picked up the basin and walked out. Every day was really tiring, I wish I could live my life as I want.

At noon, Madam Zhou happily announced that the Madam had distributed bonuses today. The Crown Prince had been promoted, and every servant in the mansion had received an extra month's salary.

Chan Yi smiled as she looked at the five taels of silver in front of her. This was a good thing. She could save more money and live a more comfortable life in the future.

"Mom, please change this silver into silver notes." Chan Yi said with a smile, and took out a few coins from the cabinet. "By the way, please buy me some honeysuckle, snow chrysanthemum, and licorice from Renjitang. The weather is hot, and I'm afraid An'er will get prickly heat. These are just right for him to take a bath with."

"Very good, don't worry, I'll ask Mo Yan to write it down on paper, and I'll ask Wang Po to buy it for you. You, the lady has plenty of these herbs, why do you have to buy them from outside?" Mother Zhou said this, but she was very happy in her heart. This girl just doesn't like to take advantage of her status as a child to ask for things, she is a very honest person.

Su Chanyi actually had selfish motives. She could use the things she bought however she wanted, and no one could interfere. But if she took them from the public, those short-sighted people would probably be jealous. So why bother?

In Tanchun's courtyard, Biyu held a few purses in her hands and said to Luo Qingqing with a beaming face, "Congratulations, Miss. Congratulations, Miss. Our prince went to the East Palace to take up his post today. I heard that the official he was appointed to was a third-rank official."
