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

Next to the branch where she was hiding was a jade hairpin hanging diagonally, and the hairpin looked familiar.

"Fourth Prince." Seeing Jingyou standing there without leaving, Pei Yunshan was a little curious, and he called softly.

This Fourth Prince was a secretive person who used to be alone and didn't like to meddle in other people's business. He was very surprised that he came to the Marquis' Mansion to attend the Lotus Appreciation Banquet today. He was actually interested in chatting with the Wang sisters at this moment. Could it be that he had taken a fancy to them...

Jingyou turned around, pursed his lips and smiled, saying: "The pomegranate flowers in your mansion are in full bloom. I think this flower is slightly better than the lotus."

He closed his folding fan, walked over, folded a branch, and put the jade hairpin into his sleeve. When the girl who had just hidden in the bushes saw him coming, she ran away like a rabbit.

I searched for her everywhere, but she was at the end of the street where the lights were dimming. At a glance at Ji'en Temple, Jingyou didn't expect that she was actually a little maid from Yong'an Marquis's Mansion. No wonder he couldn't find her.

"My Lord, let's go." He pinned the pomegranate flower on his dark green lapel, and the smile on his lips deepened.

It turned out that he had misunderstood, Pei Yunshan breathed a sigh of relief. He saw the Wang sisters still standing there like crazy and secretly looking at the Fourth Prince, and he felt even more disgusted, and whispered: "Hurry up and leave, your aunt is still waiting for you to entertain the guests together."

Wang Zixuan and Wang Ziyan finally came to their senses, bowed their heads and said goodbye.

Seeing that everyone had left, Chan Yi threw away the stick and then poked his head out from behind a tall magnolia tree not far away.

"Sister Chanyi, are you okay?" Little Queer came out from somewhere.

"It's okay." Chan Yi gathered her scattered hair and suddenly realized that her jade hairpin was missing.

"Oh no! My hairpin is missing!" This was her beloved jade hairpin. She spent one or two taels of silver to ask a jade craftsman to carve it according to her wishes. The head of the hairpin was an exquisite jade cicada. Compared with the priceless jade hairpin, Chan Yi actually liked her own jade hairpin more.

She frantically lay on the ground and began to search, and she also dug through the bushes for a long time, but she still couldn't find the hairpin. Little Que'er also hurried over to help her search carefully, but still found nothing.

"Forget it, let's go back first." Chan Yi was worried about An'er, so she stood up and pulled Xiao Que'er with a depressed look on her face.

When they returned to Tanchun Courtyard, An'er had stopped crying. She had fallen asleep in Zhou Mama's arms with a pouty mouth and tear marks at the corners of her eyes.

"Chan Yi, are you okay? These two cousins ​​are really going too far. They take advantage of the fact that the lady is their aunt and dare to bully our young master!" Mother Zhou said angrily.

"Mom, it's okay." Chan Yi hugged An'er and coaxed him gently.

"I'll tell Madam tonight." Mother Zhou muttered. Seeing Chan Yi's hair loose, she asked in surprise, "Where's your hairpin?"

"It fell off, but it doesn't matter. The old one must go away before the new one can come." Chan Yi smiled self-deprecatingly.

Thinking of the sinister intentions the two of them had just expressed, Chan Yi couldn't help but worry for the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Wuyang's family. If she really fell into their trap, the eldest daughter would lose all her face.

Don't mind your own business, don't mind your own business, she said to herself. What if the two of them changed their minds and didn't give the laxative? Wouldn't it be unnecessary for her to do this? Maybe people would suspect that she was making trouble to vent her anger and framed the two cousins, and maybe they would bite back.

Forget it, forget it, who the prince marries is none of her business.

"An'er, be good." She rocked her body gently, coaxing the baby in her arms, and An'er's sobs gradually subsided.

"Chan Yi, it would be great if the prince took a fancy to a young lady today." Mother Zhou squinted her eyes and looked at the sky and said, "Then these annoying cousins ​​would come less often in the future. They behave in public and behind people, and it just so happens that the lady... Oh!"

"Mom, don't worry about them. Madam must understand what's going on." Chan Yi said with a wry smile, her shoulder feeling a burning pain.

Who can blame them for being so lucky to be born in the Wang family?

In the Bamboo Fragrance Garden, there was a beautiful figure with fragrant hair. In the long corridor where the ladies were staying, Mrs. Wang was moving among the crowd to entertain the guests.

"Madam, when the prince gets married in the future, you will have his wife to help you." Mrs. Zhao, the wife of the Minister of Taichang Temple, said with a smile.

"Madam Zhao, I heard that your daughter-in-law is pregnant again. I'm so happy." Madam Wang praised repeatedly.

"Our daughter-in-law is very good at having children. She has already given birth to three legitimate sons. This time, I hope she will give birth to a girl." Madam Zhao showed a proud look on her face and said happily, "I am not saying anything, Madam Wang, it is better to have a legitimate son."

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Mrs. Wang's face gradually darkened. She had just had a pleasant conversation with the wife of Marquis Wuyang, and both families were very satisfied with each other's character. But as they were talking, the wife of Marquis Wuyang suddenly asked about An'er's upbringing in a tactful way, and her words showed some disdain for the child.

Yes, it is really annoying for a girl to have a bastard calling her mother when she just got married. Madam Wang promised that the child was not a problem and she would handle it properly. A bastard is always a bastard, not to mention that he was born to a maid, and would never affect the interests of the legitimate son.

The wife of Marquis Wuyang nodded with satisfaction and said that she would ask her master before agreeing to the marriage.

In the attic on the second floor, Pei Jin was a little uneasy. Why didn't his father come back after being gone for a long time? If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wasn't there, he would have gone out to check.

"Hey, what are they doing?" Princess Qingyuan suddenly asked curiously.

Pei Jin glanced out the window and replied calmly, "It's a lotus-picking boat. The mansion prepared it for those who are interested to take a boat ride."

"I'll go too." Princess Qing Yuan couldn't help but become interested. She swept away her previous unhappiness. She stood up and said to Pei Jin, "Brother Crown Prince doesn't like to ride a boat. Why don't you have Brother Jin accompany me to ride a boat?"

"Qing Yuan!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was about to stop her, but he saw his sister already walking down the stairs with her skirt lifted up.

"Shenzhi, hey, you should follow her quickly. Qingyuan always acts like a child, there's really nothing we can do with her." Jing Hao shook his head helplessly.

Pei Jin stuck his head out and saw his father coming over here. He hurriedly bowed to Jing Hao and said, "Your Highness, my father is already here. I will leave first."

At the end of the corridor, Mrs. Wang saw her two nieces approaching slowly and said quickly, "Where have you two been? How come you disappeared in a moment? Quickly take the maids and serve tea to the female relatives."

"I understand, aunt." Wang Zixuan responded obediently. She and Wang Ziyan smiled at each other. While Madam Wang was not paying attention, she secretly glanced at the mother and daughter of Marquis Wuyang.

The eldest daughter of Wuyang Marquis, Lu Jingqiu, was listening to her mother with her head slightly lowered: "Qiu'er, I think Master Pei is very good in all aspects, except for that bastard. If you like him, then I will agree to Madam Wang first and wait for them to arrange a matchmaker to propose marriage."

"Mother, I'm worried..." Lu Jingqiu bit her lip and stopped talking.

"What?" Lady Wuyang Hou asked softly.

"Mother, you all only see that he has a bastard son. I am worried about how they will deal with that concubine." Lu Jingqiu lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "Prince Pei has never been interested in women, but why did he fall for that concubine? I am afraid that she will take advantage of the prince's love and give birth to another bastard son, and then he will spoil her. Their family..."

As they were talking, there was a commotion in the corridor. The mother and daughter looked up and saw Princess Qingyuan in a pink dress walking towards them, followed by a dignified and self-respecting young man.
