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

"Your Highness, this is our An'er. It's Shenzhi's child who is crying." Mrs. Wang said, and a stone in her heart finally fell to the ground. She knew it when Princess Qingyuan suggested going to the pavilion in Zhuxiang Garden to appreciate the lotus.

"An'er, this name is really nice. Madam, I love the little baby the most. Why don't you let his biological mother bring him here? I want to see who the baby looks like." Princess Qingyuan fiddled with a red agate bracelet on her wrist, seemingly just saying it casually.

Mrs. Wang responded quickly and told Mother Zhou to call Chan Yi to bring An'er over immediately.

Mother Zhou was filled with fear. The moment she saw Chan Yi, she said anxiously, "How could you make An'er cry? Now the princess has heard it and wants you to take the child to see her. Oh..."

"An'er, don't cry. Mom, he just had a dream. Our little An'er has never cried so sadly." Su Canyi felt wronged. An'er had just been sleeping soundly, but suddenly he frowned and cried loudly. She didn't want him to cry even if she coaxed him. Now he had to go see the princess.

"Don't be afraid. I think Her Royal Highness the Princess is kind and gentle. You, just don't talk too much." Mother Zhou took An'er and coaxed her, then glanced at Chan Yi and said, "Let's go quickly, don't let the princess wait. But, hey, your clothes are too plain, why don't you change into a new one? Your hair..."

"Mom, let's go quickly." Su Chanyi carried An'er back. At this moment, An'er had completely woken up. He was sobbing softly, with a pair of big eyes that looked just like his mother's. He nestled in his mother's arms, looking extremely well-behaved.

"An'er, be good, mother loves you." Su Chanyi hugged An'er and coaxed him softly. She wondered what the princess wanted to see her for. But it was appropriate for her to see the princess in this state. A sloppy servant would make people look down on her and not take her and her mother seriously.

She followed Madam Zhou into the attic. After informing them, she carefully carried An'er inside. As soon as she saw the princess, she knelt on the ground in panic, stammering, "Princess...Princess...I...I...failed to take good care of the young master, causing...making him...crying...disturbing...the princess...please...please...please forgive me."

"Get up." Princess Qingyuan glanced and saw a woman in a plain light blue coat and skirt kneeling on the ground begging. Her jet-black hair was messy like a bird's nest.

The woman raised her head obediently, and what came into her eyes was a face with almond eyes and rosy cheeks that was still captivating even without any makeup.

Princess Qingyuan's heart felt like being stabbed by a needle, and it hurt a little. No wonder Brother Jin fell in love with her, it turns out that this little concubine is so beautiful. If she dresses up well, she will definitely be a stunning beauty.

"What's your name?" Princess Qingyuan cleared her throat and asked softly.

"Your Highness, my name is Chanyi." When she stood up just now, Su Chanyi also saw the face of this favored girl. She was beautiful, really beautiful, with an extraordinary temperament. It was true that a girl who grew up in a pampered environment would have a clean and gentle temperament. This princess must have been raised in a honey pot, unlike her who was like a weed that didn't even know her own parents.

"Chan Yi?" Princess Qing Yuan asked in confusion.

"Your Highness, these are the names I gave to those girls. They are the name of a traditional Chinese medicine, the shell shed by a cicada." Madam Wang said in a gentle voice, "This girl has a miserable life. She was abducted by a kidnapper when she was young. She doesn't even know who her biological parents are. When she was nine years old, she escaped and met our family who were distributing porridge, so we kept her."

"He is a miserable person." Princess Qingyuan nodded and said, "Fortunately, the lady is kind-hearted, otherwise..."

"Yes, yes, she is a poor child with a good temper and is obedient. That is why I made the decision to let her serve Shenzhi that year." Mrs. Wang said slowly, thinking that Chanyi was smart and didn't dress up, otherwise she would have grown up and become more beautiful now, and she might have been envied by others.

"Can you read?" Princess Qingyuan glanced at the little girl who was cowering in front of her holding the baby, and she knew that Brother Jin might have taken her in because he felt sorry for her.

Chan Yi shook her head like a rattle and kept saying, "Princess, I can't read."

She smiled awkwardly, lowered her head and stammered, "I can only do some needlework."

"It's good to be able to sew, and you can make clothes for the child." Princess Qingyuan's voice became noticeably more relaxed. "Let me see the baby."

Mrs. Wang smiled and picked up An'er from Chanyi's arms.

"Your Highness, his name is An'er, and his full name is Pei Yan." Madam Wang picked up the baby and showed it to the princess.

"Ah, An'er is so handsome." Princess Qingyuan touched An'er's chubby little face and said in surprise, "He is so small."

"He's just over three months old." Madam Wang held An'er's little hand and said, "An'er, Her Royal Highness the Princess came to see you. You are so lucky."

"Looks like Brother Ajin." Princess Qingyuan looked at him carefully and felt a little uncomfortable. This little girl who couldn't read a single word actually gave birth to a baby who looked so much like Brother Ajin. She was really jealous. She once fantasized about giving birth to a son who looked like him for Brother Ajin, and then a daughter who looked like herself, and the whole family living happily together. Unfortunately, this dream may no longer come true.

"Ah...ah..." An'er saw the princess's hanging hair accessories jingling, and she smiled at her, shaking her chubby little hands and spitting out bubbles of milk.

"Our An'er is greeting Her Royal Highness the Princess." Madam Wang held An'er in her arms and shook him, sighing and saying, "Your Highness, I will not hide the truth from you. The birth of this child was an accident. How could Shen Zhi allow a concubine to have a child before he married? But Shen's whereabouts were unknown at that time, and Chan Yi unexpectedly had this child. If something happened to Shen Zhi, I thought that I couldn't leave him a descendant, right?"

Princess Qingyuan understood what the Marquis's wife meant. It turned out that the child was born out of necessity. The tension in her heart inexplicably loosened.

She touched An'er's head, took a purse from Luying's hand and put it in An'er's arms, and said with a smile: "Madam, An'er is a blessed little kid."

She glanced at the little maid who was standing beside her with her head lowered, and she seemed to feel that she was not so annoying.

"Princess, what should we do?" Mrs. Wang politely declined while holding the purse. She knew in her heart that this hurdle was probably passed, but she was not sure whether Shen Zhi was willing to marry Princess Qingyuan.

"I like An'er, ma'am, you can take it for him."

Looking at Princess Qingyuan's sincere eyes, Madam Wang was filled with mixed feelings. This princess is really good, but it's a pity that An'er doesn't have this blessing.

Chan Yi was just looking down, wondering what the princess meant when she saw two maids walking down the corridor.
