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

"I'm going to be a father again?" Pei Jin looked at Chan Yi, whose face was flushed, in disbelief and asked in surprise, "Chan Yi, is it true? You...you are really pregnant with my child again?"

"Well, Doctor Hu came to check my pulse and said that the baby is still young and we need to be careful." Chan Yi lowered her head and said softly.

"Chan Yi, Chan Yi, this is so great, so great." Pei Jin was ecstatic and picked up Chan Yi and walked around the room.

"Put me down quickly, I feel dizzy." Chan Yi saw that he was as happy as a child, and patted his back and shouted.

"I'm sorry, Chanyi, I'm so happy. Chanyi, please give me a well-behaved daughter this time, who will be as beautiful as you." Pei Jin carefully placed Chanyi on the bed and held her hand devoutly.

"Silly boy, it's not up to me to decide whether the baby is a boy or a girl." Chan Yi said softly, stroking her belly.

"But it doesn't matter if you give birth to another boy. I'll like him as long as he's yours." Pei Jin leaned over and kissed her forehead gently. "Chan Yi, you have to promise me that you won't chase me away and let me take good care of you."

"Then it depends on your performance." Chan Yi raised her face and said, "If you don't obey, I will tell my mother-in-law."

"Chan Yi..." Pei Jin called affectionately. He swore that he would take good care of Chan Yi this time. It was really hard for a woman to be pregnant for ten months. He missed it last time, so this time he could take good care of her.

Because she was not yet three months pregnant, the news of Chan Yi's pregnancy was not spread outside the palace. Only Mrs. Lin came to see her every day, always bringing some of Chan Yi's favorite cakes and fruits, worried that she would have morning sickness.

When Pei Jin was free on weekdays, he would often walk with Chan Yi in the yard to entertain her. At night, he would pour water for her, help her get up at night, and take care of her meticulously.

An'er is the most well-behaved. Ever since he knew that his mother was pregnant with a baby, he always likes to stay close to his mother's belly and listen.

Because of her good mood, Chanyi's morning sickness was not very severe, much better than the last time when Huai'an was a child. Pei Jin often said that this baby should be a well-behaved and quiet little girl, who would not bother her mother and would be a good child.

When she had nothing to do, Chanyi liked to look at the flowers in the garden and teach little An'er to speak. An'er was already over one year old. He started speaking early and could say a lot. He often chattered and made old lady Wang laugh so hard that she couldn't stop.

May 18th was Madam Wang's birthday. Wu'an Marquis's mansion specially invited the ladies from all the mansions to attend the banquet, and the wife of Wuyang Marquis and her daughter were also invited.

"Chan Yi, take good care of your baby. You don't have to worry about these things." Old Madam Wang was afraid that her daughter-in-law would suffer, so she told her early on that she didn't have to worry and just take care of her own body.

Besides, there aren't many people invited to this birthday party, just seven or eight female relatives who have frequent contact with each other on weekdays. We'll set up three or four banquet tables and invite a troupe of actors to perform, just to make it lively.

Chan Yi agreed verbally, but still arranged the menu for the banquet, and had Manager Zhang invite the Zhao Family Troupe, which is now famous in Beijing, to perform at the birthday banquet.

Since moving to the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, Madam Wang's son has married and has grandchildren to keep her company, and her life has become more and more comfortable. She looks younger and more beautiful than before.

Today is her birthday and she is in high spirits. She dressed up carefully and in the blink of an eye, she looks as radiant as someone in her thirties even though she is in her early forties.

When the female relatives saw her, they all praised her, saying that she looked like she had taken an elixir and seemed younger than she was in previous years.

"Oh, you don't know, I am benefiting from my wife's kindness. Look at my clothes, they are all made by Qianqian herself." Old Madam Wang said proudly, "Her embroidery skills are definitely one of the best among the noble ladies of similar age in Beijing."

"Sister Wang, it's true. The pattern and embroidery are truly amazing." The wife of Minister Li touched the purple-red double-breasted silk skirt on Old Lady Wang. The dark red peonies embroidered on it were not only unique in pattern, but also lifelike.

"That's true, old lady. You can tell from the embroidery work that she has done by sitting there with the embroidery needle all day long. For an ordinary lady, her family wouldn't let her suffer like this. Madam Li, don't you think so? If my eldest daughter was like this, I would have been heartbroken a long time ago." The wife of Marquis Wuyang came over and smiled.

"Haha..." Mrs. Li, trying not to offend either party, just laughed it off.

"There are many things that noble ladies need to learn. This kind of embroidery skill is not the most important. As long as the maids around you can do it, it will be enough. It is better for noble ladies to be well-educated and well-mannered, so that they can support their husbands and raise children in the future. Relying solely on beauty is something only concubines do. When beauty fades, love fades. Don't you agree?" The wife of Marquis Wuyang became more and more excited as she spoke, and everyone heard the hidden meaning in her words.

There are rumors that this Wu'an Marquis's wife is Pei Jin's concubine. A concubine can only win the favor of her master by doing needlework every day, and she is also beautiful, so she can serve the master with her beauty. Sure enough, the rumor is very credible.

Several ladies had already retreated to a distance and gathered together to talk in whispers.

This was the scene Pei Jin saw when he came in holding An'er and supporting Chanyi.

He was about to speak, but was stopped by Chan Yi who pressed her finger.

"Dear ladies and young ladies, thank you for coming to the Marquis' Mansion to celebrate my mother-in-law's birthday. We have prepared some fine wine in the flower hall next door, and we would like to invite you to enjoy the wine and watch the show." Chan Yi said in a gentle and graceful voice. She has been pregnant for more than two months now, and her pregnant face makes her look even more noble and kind.

"Please move to the flower hall." Pei Jin followed.

"Grandma, Grandma, An'er... kowtows." The little guy slid down from his father's arms, knelt down and kowtowed to Old Madam Wang, saying, "Grandma, I wish you... good health and happiness every year."

Old Lady Wang was so happy that her face beamed with joy. She quickly picked him up and hung a golden lock around his neck.

"Wow, such a young child can speak so much, and speak so well. Sister Wang, you are so blessed. Your little grandson will definitely be a pillar of the country in the future." The wife of the Earl of Qingping praised.

"It must be the Marquis who taught him. The Marquis is both civil and military, and he has brought up this young master very well." Lady Li gave a thumbs up.

Madam Wang was about to say something when she saw Madam Lin, who had just entered the mansion, come forward a few steps, pick up little An'er, hug him in her arms and kiss him, smiling and saying, "Our An'er is so well-behaved. An'er, tell your grandmother who taught you to say that just now?"

"Mom, teach me." An'er spoke in a soft baby voice. He turned sideways and pointed at Chan Yi, asking his mother to hold him.

"An'er, be good and let grandma hold you." Chan Yi said, touching An'er's little head.

An'er glanced at Chanyi's belly and said, "Little brother, little sister..."

"An'er, you can't tell me yet." Chan Yi blushed.

"The little baby doesn't know much." Mrs. Lin said with a smile, "Our An'er knows everything."

Everyone laughed. It turned out that the wife of Marquis Wu'an was pregnant. No wonder Marquis Pei was supporting her.

Tsk tsk tsk, it seems that we can’t believe what people say outside. They all say that Lord Pei was injured in the Northern Frontier and can’t have children anymore, and they say it with certainty, but isn’t this a slap in the face in public?
