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

"Chan Yi, Chan Yi, who would snatch your child away? An'er is also my child." Pei Jin hugged Chan Yi and coaxed her softly, "Let mommy take An'er away first. Let me see your knee. You must have a bruise from the impact just now."

Mother Zhou walked into the house silently and took An'er from Chanyi's hands.

"Mom..." Chan Yi looked at Mother Zhou with tears in her eyes.

"Chanyi, I will take care of An'er, don't worry." Mother Zhou looked at Su Chanyi who was about to cry, hesitantly. She didn't understand why she was crying. She must be unhappy because she was scolded by the prince just now.

But there was nothing they could do about it. As slaves, they could be scolded by their masters whenever they wanted. But the prince had clearly come to comfort her, so why was she still like this?

She picked up An'er, gave Su Canyi a look that told her not to panic, and then patted An'er's back gently and walked out.

"Let me see your knees. Does it hurt?" After Zhou's mother left the room, Pei Jin picked her up and sat her on his lap. He lifted her skirt and checked her knees. Sure enough, her white and tender knees were red and swollen.

"You." He rubbed his knees with concern. "You still remember the pain from the last time you knelt in front of the porch and got hurt by a small stone. Now your knee hurts again. Why can't you just say it directly?"

"My lord, Chanyi will not ruin the good relationship between you and the princess. Please spare me and An'er." Su Chanyi couldn't guess what he was thinking for a moment, so she could only look at him with tears in her eyes.

"Why are you crying, you..." Pei Jin seemed to know something, and hurriedly hugged her tightly and said softly, "Silly girl, I just scolded you to protect you. I know you are timid, and you must be scared when you see the princess, otherwise I wouldn't be in a hurry to go back home."

Oh, so that's how it is. Su Canyi felt a little relieved. She was now just a helpless little concubine with no one to rely on. She had no choice but to cling to her master's thigh. It was miserable enough.

It's not that she hadn't thought about running away secretly. But there was no place for a little girl like her in this world! In the vast sea of ​​people, she was a fugitive slave without a household registration. If she was caught, she wouldn't know how she would die. Now that she had An'er, she couldn't do whatever she wanted. It would be fine if she died, but she would also implicate this poor little baby.

Don't panic! Su Chanyi silently encouraged herself. As long as nothing serious happened, she believed that Mrs. Wang would fulfill her promise. As long as she had a household registration, everything would be easy.

"Why, you don't believe me?" Pei Jin saw the little girl looking at him blankly, and reached out to rub her hair. "I didn't want you to be frightened, so I scolded you on purpose and asked you to come back first. Although Her Royal Highness the Princess is very kind, she is a royal relative after all. If she is offended by something..."

"I know." Su Chanyi lowered her head, clung to his body, and said tenderly, "I thought I had embarrassed you, and I was afraid that you would be unhappy and would not want us mother and son anymore."

"What a little fool, what a little idiot." Pei Jin pecked and kissed her between the eyebrows, feeling his heart full of pity for her. This little girl was really attached to him. How could she live without him? He must treat her well.

He knew what Princess Qing Yuan was thinking, but he could never agree to it. If he married the princess, he could not have other concubines in his life, and the little girl could not stay with him. He must find a chance to hint to Princess Qing Yuan so that she should not have any more thoughts about him.

"Be good, I'm leaving. Don't think too much and just wait for me in the room." Pei Jin smelled her hair lovingly. She smelled so good that he wanted to smell it every time.

Chan Yi shyly jumped down from his arms and helped him straighten his wrinkled collar.

"Give me a small bottle of your refreshing essential oil. The weather is getting hot, and I think it smells good." Pei Jin raised his hand and looked contentedly at the little girl with a slightly blushing face as she straightened his collar.

"Young Master, please wait a moment." Chan Yi straightened his collar for him and felt a little puzzled when she saw him rubbing his temple from time to time.

She took out some essential oil and rubbed it in her palms, then used her fingers to rub it on his forehead: "My Lord, is this better? The weather is hot, and you came here in the middle of the day, I think you must have a little heat stroke."

"This is much more comfortable. I'm leaving now." Pei Jin took the small porcelain bottle from Chan Yi's hand and said refreshedly, "Don't worry about anything. I'm here for you."

"Master, I understand." Chan Yi smiled gently, hoping that nothing else would happen.

Although his little girl is timid, she is very dexterous. The strange-looking medicinal oils she makes, as well as the embroidered sachets and purses are all very beautiful. Although she can't read a single word, she is smart, clever, gentle and lovely. Pei Jin felt that he had found a treasure, so he couldn't help but feel complacent and decided to teach his little concubine to read from today.

When he returned to the small pavilion, the maids had already picked the lotus flowers and were putting them in small buckets, ready for the palace maids to take back to the palace.

"Brother Ajin is back, and I have to go back to the palace too." Princess Qingyuan smiled faintly. The wind blew up her lilac gauze skirt, and her body swayed, reflecting her delicate and fair face, which was more beautiful than that of the lotus fairy.

"Your Highness, Princess, I am going to hold a lotus banquet in two days. I wonder if Your Highness would like to attend?" Mrs. Wang asked with a chuckle.

"Okay, okay. It's been a long time since I had a good gathering with the noble ladies in the capital. This is a good opportunity for us to enjoy the lotus and chat together." A truly joyful smile bloomed on Princess Qingyuan's face.

"Mother, whether Her Royal Highness the Princess can leave the palace requires the Queen's consent. You can't make things difficult for Her Royal Highness just because you like Her Royal Highness." Pei Jin bowed and said.

Qing Yuan looked up at him, and felt that he seemed like a different person. He had a handsome figure, and his eyes were bright and clear, like the moon in the sky, so bright and unattainable.

She pursed her lips and smiled. Perhaps this was his rejection. It was a pity that she had fallen in love with this man for so many years, ever since she first fell in love.

If she didn't try, she would still be unwilling to give up. However, she still hadn't found the woman he liked after coming here today. Perhaps she would come to the lotus viewing banquet. How could she miss it?

"Madam, I will come." Princess Qingyuan smiled faintly, her smile was like a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water.

"Okay, I will deliver the invitation to the palace." Mrs. Wang bowed.

Pei Jin respectfully welcomed Princess Qing Yuan back to the palace. As soon as he arrived at the East Palace, he saw his subordinate Yang Yong happily said to him: "Sir, there is a clue about that matter. His Highness asked you to go in quickly."

"So fast!" Pei Jin was a little surprised. He had just talked about this matter with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the morning, but he didn't expect to get a reply so soon.
