Zhou Boli chuckled. "Don't worry about that. I'm confident I can make this happen. Also—" He changed the subject and pursed his lips slightly. "We also need to find out the identity of the child's biological father."

Lu Yun did not ask how Zhou Boli persuaded the elders. The next day, she heard from Caihe that Miss Yaochun had brought people to go there in person. In the afternoon, news came out that Miss Cen from Xiuzhu Pavilion was pregnant, but the fetus was unstable.

In the evening, supplements from Sansi Hall and Mingde Hall were delivered to Xiuzhu Pavilion like water.

Lu Yun got up early the next day and took Caihe to Mingde Hall to pay her respects to Princess Gao. She entered the main hall without any obstruction.

Princess Gao smiled when she saw Lu Yun, and signaled Yaochun and others to leave the hall, as she had something to say to the Crown Prince's wife.

The door closed behind him, and Lu Yun sat obediently to the side.

Princess Gao suddenly stood up and personally pulled Lu Yun to sit beside her, her eyes full of love. "Good child, this is a very good idea. The prince and I want to thank you."

Lu Yun even said she didn't dare. She stood up to bow, but was held back by Princess Gao. "Firstly, to avoid suspicion, and secondly, you just gave birth so you shouldn't be overly tired. I will send two maids to take care of Xiuzhu Pavilion for you until this matter is settled."

Lu Yun felt relieved and showed gratitude on her face, "Thank you, mother, for your consideration." After that, she picked up the teapot and tested the temperature, then added a cup of warm tea to Princess Gao.

Princess Gao smiled and picked up the teacup and drank it slowly, then said, "There is something else I want to discuss with you."

Lu Yun pretended to listen attentively, "Mother, please give me your instructions."

Princess Gao said, "After all, Miss Cen entered the palace because of Bo Li. Everyone knows that she is now pregnant with Bo Li's child, so she should be given a legitimate status."

Lu Yun's frown had just been smoothed over by Princess Gao's next words.

"It's not good to hear it out, that's the only reason. Another reason is that she can take the Cen family's children out of the house and live separately, so it will be more legitimate."

Lu Yun immediately agreed, "I will go back and prepare to make Miss Cen my concubine."

Xiuzhu Pavilion was extremely popular at the time and became almost the most promising place in the palace.

In Anlan Courtyard, Cen Miaoxin kowtowed respectfully to the mistress sitting at the top and offered her tea.

Lu Yun took a sip from the teacup and set it aside. Cai He brought a tray and opened a small box on it, revealing a pair of jade bracelets.

Cen Miaoxin thanked him again and sent the person out politely. Only then did Lu Yun turn around and go back into the house to sit down.

Cai He hesitated to speak, "Master."

Lu Yun stretched lazily, and seeing this, she deliberately teased her by pretending to be discouraged. "Caihe, I think we should pack up and go home."

Cai He's eyes turned red and she was about to open her mouth when she heard a voice from outside the house, "Sister, I'll go back with you."

Dashou walked in from outside with a sullen face. "Sister, I heard everything. I told you long ago that Zhou Boli is not good enough. Let's go back."

Mother Chen was unaware of the princess's identity as her "godsister" and was shocked that she dared to address the Crown Prince by his name. Baoqin and Guanhe on the side were no less shocked.

At this moment, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, dressed in white, strode in from outside, his voice a little higher than usual, "Qin Dashou!"

Qin?! Could it be that Qin? Mother Chen and the others dodged, thinking that this place had nothing to do for them, so they quickly fled.

Dashou didn't even glance at him, only staring at Lu Yun. "Sister, Zhou Boli is bad, let's go home."

Seeing Zhou Boli's face already filled with anger, Lu Yun quickly raised her hand to act as a peacemaker and comforted her sister, "Dashou, this matter is not what you think."

After Dashou kept looking at his sister to make sure she wasn't lying, he softened his tone and asked, "So what's going on with this Miss Cen being pregnant and a concubine?"

Even though she was not worldly-wise, she knew that an aunt was a man's concubine, just like the emperor's uncle's concubine.

Lu Yun was a little confused about how she should explain the twists and turns to Dashou.

Seeing this, Dashou said directly, "Sister, I believe you. I haven't seen you practicing sword for a long time."

Why did they bring this up? Before Lu Yun could react, she continued, "Sister, I want to see you and Zhou Boli duel with swords."

Uh, Lu Yun leaned over and glanced at the man standing with his arms crossed. She suppressed her smile and coughed lightly, then immediately agreed, "Okay."

Upon learning that the princess was going to duel with the prince with swords, the training ground manager, who had already witnessed the princess's prowess, couldn't help but worry for the prince. Oh, God, please bless the princess and don't let her be too cruel.

The King of Nanyue, who got the news first, rushed to the training ground breathlessly, using the excuse of having to pee.

The daughter-in-law in red clothes moved lightly and smoothly, with quick and decisive movements. She first hit her own son with a wooden sword, and then kicked the sword out of his hand with a flying kick.

The King of Nanyue nodded with satisfaction, that's right.

Zhou Boli covered his wrist, glanced at his dear wife with a sad look, and left the scene sadly. The training ground manager was so shocked by his appearance that he couldn't help but follow him to ask about his well-being.

Dashou grinned and gave his sister a thumbs-up.

The King of Nanyue was even more generous in expressing his admiration. With a wave of his hand, he had another piece of fine jade ore carried to Anlanyuan.

Looking at the high-quality stone in front of her, Lu Yun instantly put the person behind her mind and began to think wholeheartedly about what to do with this stone.

Even if the wet nurse was clueless, she should have known who was in charge in the yard. Seeing that the mistress was happy, she came over with the little one in her arms to join in the fun.

Lu Yun picked up the chubby goose that looked like a narrow Michelin tire and took a sip. The little guy grinned and giggled in delight.

She left the child in the house to play for a long time, and only let the nanny take the little guy away when she saw him yawning.

The wet nurse ran into the man at the door of the house, but the man walked straight past her - and went straight to the mistress in the house.

"Madam..." Zhou Boli called out, and sat down next to her, naturally resting his head on his wife's shoulder, looking very dependent on her.

Lu Yun got goose bumps all over her body when he called her. "Go away, what are you doing? Just say what you want to say!"

Zhou Boli pulled up his sleeves, revealing the bruises on his wrists, accusing his wife of being ruthless, and everything was said without words.

Lu Yun averted her eyes guiltily. Uh, she vaguely remembered "hold your ground"; it looked quite serious. Liu Zi stood at the doorway, his sleeves tucked in, his neck hunched. Thinking of what happened that afternoon, he felt a terrible ache.

Is that really the case, my master. Actually, the wrist was just a little red and swollen at first, but the master couldn't resist hitting it with the inkstone.

After the "bang", my wrist swelled up immediately, and by the evening it became like this.

Caihe brought ointment for bruises and injuries, clean hot water and towels.

In order to express her apology, Lu Yun personally wiped the man's wrist with a handkerchief, then took the medicated oil, poured it into her palm to warm it up, and covered it on his wrist until all the medicated oil was rubbed in.

Sincere apology: "I'm sorry, I will be more gentle next time."

Zhou Boli shook his head and said, "I know Madam has shown mercy, but I have been too busy with official duties and neglected to exercise recently." In a word, it was my own body that was not keeping up.

Lu Yun felt even more guilty after hearing this and was speechless.

At midnight, Caihe sat down on the porch with her face flushed and her quilt in her arms. After she calmed down, she smiled faintly at the bright moon in the sky.
