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

"Madam is really generous, but this jade bracelet is not suitable for a young lady to wear."

His gaze lingered on the snow-white wrist.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

"Ningxia greets Prince Shun." Gu Ningxia timidly bowed and greeted Jingyou, and her eyes shyly glanced at Jingyou.

Jingyou ignored her and just bowed slightly to Mrs. Lin.

Mrs. Lin quickly pulled Chan Yi to greet him.

The wife of Marquis Changning took back the bracelet that she wanted to give away but couldn't, and coughed awkwardly and said, "Prince Shun is right. I came in a hurry today, and this bracelet is indeed a bit old-fashioned. I will give it to you later when I have something suitable to give it to you."

"Madam Hou, you are so polite." Mrs. Lin quickly and politely declined.

"Cousin, do you like the gift I gave you?" Jingyou looked up at Chanyi, whose cheeks were slightly blushing, and asked softly.

"The gifts the prince sends to our family are all kept by my eldest brother. I believe that what the prince sends must be good." Chan Yi said neither humbly nor arrogantly, and easily resolved the remark.

"My cousin always talks about other things." Jingyou pretended to be heartbroken and looked at her blankly.

The fact that he called her cousin and spoke so intimately made Lady Changning feel that it was not the first time they met. Could it be that they had met before in Jiangyin Prefecture? No wonder they were so warm and friendly.

"Prince Shun, did you know Miss Xiao before?" She couldn't help but ask.

"She is the queen mother's niece. How could I not know her? Cousin, am I right?" Jingyou said seriously.

Chan Yi didn't know what else he would say in front of them. Seeing that Gu Ningxia's face had turned blue, she quickly smiled and said, "Prince Shun is really humorous. Madam Hou will believe you if you say that."

"It turned out to be a joke." The wife of Marquis Changning nodded.

Mrs. Lin was afraid that her daughter's chest would swell and ache if she delayed any further, so she was trying to find an excuse to leave.

"This hall is a bit stuffy, and the air is filled with the faint smell of alcohol. Why don't you let your mother take you outside to get some fresh air before coming back?"

"Okay, cousin, how about I accompany you outside to get rid of the smell of alcohol?" Jingyou smiled cunningly.

Chan Yi looked at Mrs. Lin in panic.

"Qianqian, take the Crown Princess's cousin's wife back to the East Palace. There are many people here and she is having some fetal movements." Empress Xiao, who was sitting on the main seat, said loudly, "Your cousin's wife said she has a gift for you."

"Qianqian obeys your order." Chan Yi hurriedly stepped forward and bowed. It was indeed her aunt. She could see through her embarrassment at a glance. This was really a timely help.

"Go quickly." Empress Xiao pointed at Crown Princess Song Qianran who was sitting below.

"Crown Princess Cousin-in-law," Chan Yi reached out to support her.

Song Qianran covered her mouth, her face was pale, as if she was about to vomit. The palace maid came forward and helped her to slowly stand up and walk out of the hall.

Chan Yi immediately followed them out of the palace carefully. Madam Lin also wanted to follow but was stopped by Empress Xiao.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. Qianqian will be back soon. You can watch the singing and dancing performances of those young ladies. This year's performances are getting better and better." Empress Xiao turned her head to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, don't you agree?"

Chan Yi followed them out of Yixiang Pavilion. The Crown Princess brushed her chest, stopped, looked at Chan Yi and said, "Cousin, this is your first time attending a palace banquet, you must be very uncomfortable, right? Actually, I am the same, I am most impatient to attend when there are so many people and so many things to say."

Chan Yi looked at the outspoken Crown Princess in surprise, not knowing how to respond.

She could only say in a gentle voice: "Crown Princess Sister-in-law, Qianqian has just arrived and does not know much about the palace rules and etiquette. I still need your advice."

The Crown Princess glanced at her with a half-smile and said, "I think my cousin is quite cautious. That's good, that's good. Let's go quickly. I feel like vomiting."

"Okay, cousin." Chan Yi wanted to let her smell the medicated oil she brought with her, but she was worried that she was pregnant, and if something went wrong, it would be a capital crime.

Chan Yi did not dare to neglect and followed her all the way to the East Palace. She did not know whether Empress Xiao saw the Fourth Prince entangled with her and was kind enough to help him out, or whether the Crown Princess asked her to send her back to the East Palace. At this moment, the cold wind blew, and Chan Yi felt a little uneasy.

Judging from the Crown Princess, she should be a very good person, and her mother must have a very good impression of her, otherwise she would have hinted to me to be careful. But why did she act as if she didn't treat me as an outsider when she was talking to me just now? I wonder if there is a trap here.

At this moment, Chanyi only felt her chest swelling and pain. If there was a little external pressure, the milk would gush out. She regretted that she had been thinking about how to get rid of Jingyou and forgot to bring a change of clothes.

For a moment, she missed Xiao An'er very much and wanted to hold him in her arms and feed him.

"Cousin, I see that your hair is a little messy, and there's a mark on the hem of your skirt. It's a good opportunity for you to go back to the East Palace to wash up. It's okay if you don't bring any spare clothes. I have some clothes that I just made and haven't had time to wear yet. I think you can make do with them." The Crown Princess said with a smile, as if she had read her thoughts.

"Thank you, Princess." Chan Yi gathered her hair and smiled at her shyly.

Seeing that the Crown Princess looked normal, she felt relieved. Chan Yi thought that after all, she was the Crown Prince's cousin, and the Queen had personally asked her to send her back, so nothing would go wrong.

The East Palace was in front of them. After entering the hall, a maid came to greet them and helped the Crown Princess walk inside.

"Thank you for sending me back, cousin Xiao." The Crown Princess turned her head to look at her, "Madam Zhu, take Miss Xiao to the side hall to wash up. Tingqin, Luo Hua, quickly bring over my lavender dress and the pair of red coral headpieces."

"Crown Princess, please have a good rest. I will not bother you here anymore." Chan Yi leaned over and said. This cousin seemed to understand her feelings very well, but with the maids following her, it would be easy for her to reveal her true colors.

"Don't be polite, cousin. I know you are a young girl with a thin skin. It's okay. Just use my people. They dare not disobey you. Did you hear that?"

"Yes, Madam Crown Princess."

Chan Yi followed them to a spacious room in a side hall, which was fully furnished with furniture and beds. There was a bathroom in the side room, and the palace maid had already prepared hot water and was ready to help her put on makeup.

"You guys go out first, I'll rest for a while, please don't disturb me." Chan Yi looked at her slightly tired face in the bronze mirror and patted it gently with her hands, thinking that when they went out, she would apply a hot towel to her chest, which was as hard as iron, to slightly relieve the annoying swelling and pain.

She originally thought that these people would not agree so readily, but she did not expect that the leader, Madam Zhu, would lead the palace maids to arrange all the things, then kneel down and bow and say, "Miss Xiao, we are waiting outside. If you have anything, just call us."

After watching them go out the door and hearing no more sound, Chan Yi locked the door, sighed slightly, and was about to take off her coat when she heard a slight "click" coming from the inner room.
