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

"No way." Chan Yi waved her hand and said, "He is dreaming. The little baby cries at night because he plays too much during the day."

She pretended to be nonchalant while secretly blaming Pei Jin for causing all the trouble. It was really embarrassing. Fortunately, Dong Qing was still a virgin, otherwise she didn't know what she was thinking of her.

"Why are you blushing?" Dong Qing said angrily, "Just drink your soup. Drinking more is always good."

"Thank you very much. You should get busy. You will be busy today. I have asked you to make a special trip. Why don't you just ask a little girl to bring it over?" Chan Yi nodded and smiled.

"How can this be possible? The prince has already said that all your food and drink expenses are not allowed to be handled by anyone else. Only us few people are allowed to handle it." Dong Qing said seriously.

"I know, I know. Go and do your own thing." Chan Yi rolled her eyes and said.

"I'm telling you, don't be so ungrateful for what you have. When has the prince ever cared so much about anyone?" Dong Qing came over and bit her ear and said, "You should be content."

"Alright, alright, I'll listen to you, okay?" Chan Yi said angrily, "Go and do your own thing, don't neglect those nobles."

"Chan Yi, you don't know, besides His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Qing Yuan, who else came to the mansion today? You will never be able to guess." Dong Qing said mysteriously, blinking his eyes.

"You ask me, how would I know?" Chan Yi smiled, thinking to herself that no matter who he was, what did it have to do with her.

"Let me tell you, it's the elusive Fourth Prince." Dong Qing said with a smile, "I'm leaving now."

Seeing her briskly leave the yard, Chan Yi shook her head and sighed. This little girl, what Fourth Prince? She didn't even know him, so she could come or not. She might as well care about who Pei Jin had chosen.

She put the baby who had fallen asleep in her arms into the cradle, set up the gauze curtain, looked at An'er's peaceful sleeping face, and thought of what the lady said when she came to see her yesterday afternoon, and she felt secretly happy in her heart.

"Chanyi, after Shenzhi gets engaged in two days, I will arrange for you to leave. During these two days, you should persuade Shenzhi more and let him choose a suitable wife for the Crown Prince." Because she hadn't seen An'er for a few days, Mrs. Wang couldn't let go of the baby.

"Yes, ma'am." Chan Yi said with lowered eyebrows.

"The one I'm interested in is the eldest daughter of Marquis Wuyang. She's gentle, virtuous, and capable. If Shen Zhi asks for your opinion, you'd better take care of it." Mrs. Wang looked up at her with a burning gaze.

"I dare not. Why would the prince ask me such a thing? Chanyi is just a humble little concubine." Chanyi was shocked. The lady asked this because she thought she was taking advantage of her and dared to interfere in the prince's marriage.

Seeing her panic, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm just saying one more thing to you. If he asks, you should persuade him to settle down as soon as possible."

"Yes, ma'am." Chan Yi sighed secretly.

At this moment, she looked at the blue sky and said to herself, I hope everything goes well and Pei Jin can get married with that lady as soon as possible.

The long corridor of Zhuxiang Garden is separated by a painted screen, with male and female guests sitting on each side.

The royal brother and sister sat alone on the second floor of the attic, leaning on the railing and gazing at the lotus pond not far away.

Princess Qing Yuan was wearing a pastel-colored chiffon corseted long dress and a light pink shawl. Her black hair hung down behind her head. She was more gorgeous than the lotus.

"Fourth brother, how come you have time to come here today?" She said to Jingyou who was sitting on her right, playing with a teacup in his hand.

"I heard that the lotus pond in Yong'an Marquis' Mansion is a unique one. I want to come and see it, too." He raised his head and said casually, his eyes sweeping across Pei Jin's face below him, "Shenzhi, don't you think so?"

"It is an honor for our mansion that Your Highness is here." Pei Yunshan immediately said with a smile, "Thank you two Your Highnesses and the princess for coming to appreciate the lotus. Shenzhi, quickly serve us our best tea."

"My Lord, you're welcome. This sour plum lotus leaf tea has a unique flavor." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Jing Hao said in a gentle voice.

"Your Highness, the weather is excellent today, with blue sky, green lotus and red flowers, it is as poetic as a painting. If you are interested, you can also go boating in the lotus pond and pick lotus." Pei Jin stood up and opened the window pane. The view in front was wider. From here he could see the female relatives and male guests sitting on the corridor.

He saw at a glance that his mother was chatting with a noble lady, and next to the noble lady stood a graceful woman, who lowered her head slightly and could not see her face clearly.

"Who is Brother Ajin looking at?" Princess Qingyuan couldn't help but stand up and look out the window.

"Hey, isn't this the wife of Marquis Wuyang and their eldest daughter?" she whispered, with a very forced smile on her lips.

"It seems that Shenzhi is going to have a good thing." Jingyou took a sip of tea, glanced at Princess Qingyuan and then at Pei Jin, with a smile on his lips.

Pei Jin ignored him and just turned his head to talk to his father.

"Fourth brother knows it again." Princess Qingyuan snorted and turned her head away.

"By the way, I heard that Shen Zhi has a first son. Why don't you bring him over for us to see." Jing You looked at Pei Yunshan sharply, "My Lord, you're going to be a grandfather now. You must be very happy to have a grandson."

"Your Highness, this..." Pei Yunshan coughed a few times in embarrassment and secretly glanced at his son. The Fourth Prince was clearly here to see the jokes of the Marquis' Mansion. He had always been at odds with the Crown Prince, and this time he came with bad intentions.

"Your Highness, the child is still young and it is inconvenient for him to meet guests." Pei Jin refused bluntly.

"Oh, it seems that Shen Zhi really loves this illegitimate son, which is rare." Jingyou pursed his lips and smiled, "I didn't expect that Shen Zhi is so capable. He created a illegitimate son without making a fuss. It's really impressive!"

"Fourth brother!" Jing Hao called out with a frown.

"Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is angry, I, the uninvited guest, will leave first to avoid destroying this harmonious atmosphere." Jingyou smiled self-deprecatingly, stood up and said goodbye, leaving the room.

"Fourth Prince." Pei Yunshan hurriedly chased after him.

Pei Jin was stunned for a moment. Could it be that the Fourth Prince came here just to mock him? It couldn't be that simple, right?

He stood up and looked downstairs, only to see Jingyou had already come down from the attic and was heading towards the corridor. Wherever he went, everyone stood up and saluted.

He walked forward until he disappeared at the gate of Zhuxiang Garden.

Chan Yi was dazzled by the sunlight filtering through the shade of the trees. Just as she was about to ask Mother Zhou to move the cradle into the hall, she heard the voices of girls talking outside the fence.

Chan Yi was a little surprised. This place was quite far from Zhuxiang Garden, so how could a female family member come here?

Today, all the maids and nannies were sent by the Madam to serve the guests in Zhuxiang Garden. Now, only Madam Zhou and two little girls were left by her side.

"These pomegranate flowers are so beautiful." said one.

"Sister Yan, I want to pick a flower and put it in my hair."

"Sister Xuan, no matter how beautifully you dress up today, your cousin won't even look at you."

"Sister Yan, my aunt clearly said that she doesn't object to marriages between relatives. I thought she fell in love with you."

"You, you're overthinking it. I just saw that my aunt seemed to have taken a liking to the eldest daughter of the Wuyang Marquis family. She kept holding her hand while talking to her!"

"What's so good about her? She's skinny and looks like a widow. My cousin won't be interested in her."

"That's right. Why don't we put some laxatives in her tea later to embarrass her."

"What laxative? Sister Yan, give it to me quickly. I'll go right away."

"Don't worry, it's still early. We can go there later and strike them just when they start swimming in the lake."

"Yes, yes, yes. Sister Yan is the best."

It turned out to be the two nieces of the lady, she recognized them.

Chan Yi stepped back silently. She couldn't afford to offend these two young ladies. They were always so arrogant and hypocritical. If they found out that she had heard them talking about framing Miss Wuyang Hou, they might...

"I'm a little tired. Why don't we go in and take a rest? There should be no one in this yard. I've been here before." Wang Ziyan said, pointing to Tanchun Courtyard.
