Chu Xingyue left without even looking at Mu Yanran. After he left, the two maids waiting at the door entered the hall to help Mu Yanran.

"Princess! Ah, the princess is bleeding! Someone come quickly, please call Doctor Liu!" A little maid exclaimed, she saw that Mu Yanran's skirt was stained with blood.

Another maid ran out in a hurry to ask the imperial physician in the palace. A servant came to check because he heard the noise, and was startled when he saw Mu Yanran's appearance, and hurried to find Chu Xingyue.

Chu Xingyue had just sat down in the study when the servant came to tell him about Mu Yanran's situation. Chu Xingyue was upset and didn't want to go, but then he thought that he didn't want to give up the fight for the position of crown prince and still rely on Mu Huairen. And if it was a boy, he would have a better chance of winning. Thinking of this, he got up and went back to the flower hall, and carried Mu Yanran back to the room.

Doctor Liu came, felt the pulse, wrote a few prescriptions, and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, the fetus is fine. I will prescribe some medicine to protect the fetus for you to take on time."

"Doctor Liu, what's going on with the bleeding?" The maid that Mu Yanran brought from her mother's home asked anxiously.

"It's probably the bleeding caused by the impact. Take good care of the princess and don't walk around casually in the next few days." Doctor Liu said and went out.

A little maid followed him to get medicine. Chu Xingyue sat down beside the bed. Seeing Mu Yanran's eyes closed, he tried his best to speak in a calm voice, "I was wrong today. My father said today that he wanted to make the third child the crown prince. I pushed you away in a hurry. Don't be angry."

Mu Yanran didn't open her eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks. She turned her head, her back to Chu Xingyue, without saying a word. If she had heard that Chu Xingluo was made the crown prince and Wei Zhiying would be the crown princess before, she would have been furious. But at this moment, she only felt disappointed with Chu Xingyue.

Chu Xingluo and Xia Taoyuan arrived at Taotao Garden. Xia Taoyuan wanted a lotus pod, so Chu Xingluo picked her up, jumped up, and landed steadily on the boat in the middle of the lake, and picked two lotus pods for her.

When Xia Taoyuan was happily peeling lotus seeds, Chu Xingluo saw Fengwu Heilong and Yingge following them. He signaled them not to disturb Xia Taoyuan, and the few of them sat with Qingyun in a grove not far away.

Xia Taoyuan peeled a lotus seed and put it in her mouth, smelling a refreshing fragrance. She looked up at Chu Xingluo and smiled, "What do you think we should name our daughter if we have one?"

"Let's call you Taolian. You like peaches and lotus flowers, and you like to eat them. How about calling you Taolian?" Chu Xingluo said after thinking for a while.

Xia Taoyuan coughed twice when she heard this, and almost got stuck. Taolian, this is too rustic. Chu Xingluo patted her back and asked with concern: "Did you get stuck?"

Xia Taoyuan waved her hand and said with a smile, "What if we give birth to a son?"

"Let's name our son Taosheng, is that okay?" After saying that, he looked at Xia Taoyuan expectantly. Anyway, no matter what the baby is, it must have the word "Tao" in its name.

"Well, okay, you're my father, of course I'll listen to you." Xia Taoyuan said, trying not to laugh. Although his voice had a strong rural flavor, it was down-to-earth, and the name was just a code name, so it didn't matter what he was called.

The two played in the boat for a while. Chu Xingluo was afraid that she was tired, so he took her back to the shore and asked her to go back to the house to rest for a while while he went to cook.

Xia Taoyuan went back to the house obediently. Qingyun and others came to the yard. Seeing Chu Xingluo cooking by himself, Yingge and others found it incredible and went up to help.

The few people were quite considerate. Except for cooking and cleaning, they stayed away and did not disturb the two people.

Prince Jing's Mansion.

At dusk, Long Yan went to tell Ye Linglong about the family dinner in the palace, but found that her face no longer had the original arrogance, but was more peaceful than usual.

"Guard Long Yan, can you ask someone in the mansion to take me to the palace?" Ye Linglong said in a gentle voice.

Long Yan shuddered. Was this witch possessed by a ghost? How come she looked like a different person?

But since the other person was so polite, he couldn't be rude anymore, so he said, "Let's go to the front yard!"

When they arrived at the front yard, Long Yan called two servants and asked them to drive Ye Linglong to the palace, while he went there on horseback first.

When they arrived at the palace, they informed Eunuch Liu that Chu Xingluo was not feeling well, and the princess was at home taking care of him and could not come to the family dinner, but Ye Linglong would come. Eunuch Liu smiled but said nothing. He didn't know why Prince Jing didn't come, but it was definitely not because he was unwell.

In the evening, in the Yonghe Palace, the princess and her husband, the prince of Huai and his wife, the prince of Xiang and his wife, and the prince of Xuan all arrived. Ye Linglong went in and found a seat to sit down. She only knew Chu Xingyue and Chu Xinghai. They had been wearing veils on the wedding day, so she didn't see the others, so she didn't know them either. She looked for Chu Xingluo everywhere, but she didn't see him.

She looked at Chu Xingyue's table, but didn't see Mu Yanran there, and couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

Princess Zhang Caifeng of Huai and Princess Ye Yiyi of Xiang walked up to Chu Xingyue and asked, "Where is Yanran? Why can't we see her? Did she go to look for her mother?"

Chu Xingyue didn't even raise her head and replied, "She fell down and had a stomachache so she didn't come."

"Yanran fell down? How did she fall? Is it serious?" The Queen and several concubines walked in at this time and heard his words.

"Mother, it's nothing serious." Chu Xingyue still kept her head down.

"How could you be so careless? What did the maid do to let the princess fall? She is more than six months pregnant now, she has to be careful in everything. Tell everyone in the mansion not to make her angry!" Queen Wei Wan scolded.

"Yes!"

"The Emperor is here!" the eunuch at the door shouted.

Emperor Ying came in and took a look. Although Eunuch Liu told him that Prince Jing and Princess Jing could not come, he was still a little disappointed.

"I'm sure you've all heard what was announced in the court today. My intention to make the third prince the crown prince will not change. You are brothers, and if we want North Vietnam to be strong, we will need your help and assistance in the future." After saying that, he glanced at the princes and the next few sentences were directed to them.

"Yes, father." Prince Huai said.

"Your son is willing to lend a helping hand to the third brother." King Xiang also said.

Prince Nan also said, "Don't worry, Father. I will help my third brother in the future."

Seeing that several people had expressed their opinions, only King Xuan Chu Xingyue held a wine glass, his eyes red, and said nothing.

Emperor Ying glanced at him and asked, "Fourth brother, what about you?" What he was most worried about was that King Xuan would cause trouble.

"Your son obeys the orders of the emperor!" Chu Xingyue said these words while gritting her teeth.

"In that case, remember what you said!" Emperor Ying sat next to the Queen.

Since the Queen heard that Chu Xingluo was made the Crown Prince, she not only felt resentful but also felt sorry for her son, but she had no choice. For so many years, although she was the Queen, the Emperor did not love her. In the eyes of others, she was the mother of a country with great dignity, but only she knew the bitterness in her heart.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Eunuch Liu ordered the meal to be served. Ye Linglong sat at the same table with the female relatives, introduced herself, and quickly became familiar with everyone.

Because she wanted to please Chu Xingluo, she acted gentle and generous, which surprised several princesses, Zhang Caifeng, and Ye Yiyi. People outside said that Princess Xiling Ye Linglong was arrogant and domineering, but they didn't expect her to be so gentle and virtuous. The third child was really lucky. It seems that rumors are really not credible.
