Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter 377

"This child really changes every day. Looking at the little guy now, I can't tell at all that he weighed only five kilograms when he was born." The queen's eyes darkened, and she teased the child as usual, as if speaking from inspiration.

"Empress, next year, the little grandson will be running around the yard calling you Grandmother." Nanny Yun did not notice the Empress's abnormality, but said with a smile.

In the past, the queen had not considered this aspect, so she did not think there was a problem. But now, after knowing that the child was not her grandson, she felt that there were flaws everywhere. The most problematic ones were Nanny Yun and the wet nurse.

"Now, with three wet nurses, is there enough food for the little prince?" the queen asked with a smile.

The three nurses looked at each other in bewilderment. One of them lowered her head and dared not say a word.

After all, this is the imperial palace, and she is just an ordinary woman.

It was only because her family was poor that she applied to be a wet nurse.

In this palace, the most important thing to do is to be cautious in what you say and do.

Although Ruchun felt that the little grandson did not look like a newborn baby, she did not dare to be the first to speak out unless the other two wet nurses said anything.

Especially since there were originally four wet nurses, now there are only three left.

This made her even more uneasy.

"That's enough, that's enough. Although the little prince has a big appetite, he is just a doll after all." Nanny Yun said with a smile.

"That's good!" said the queen with a smile.

Inside Yuxiu Palace

Everyone looked at the child who was sent here curiously, wondering why there was suddenly a child in their Yuxiu Palace?

But the child looks too young.

"This child is so small." A palace maid said as she looked at the child.

"My mother said that newborn babies are small. Do you think the baby can run as soon as it is born?" A palace maid joked with a smile.

"Eunuch Chang, where did this child come from?" someone asked Eunuch Chang in confusion.

"I don't know either. You can ask the master when he comes back." Eunuch Chang was also very surprised. He thought to himself, could this child be the second prince's own flesh and blood who was left behind?

Thinking of this, Eunuch Chang looked at the child carefully.

What's more, Eunuch Chang actually found some similarities between this child and Chu Haojue on his face.

Thinking of this, Eunuch Chang patted his still beating heart, feeling that he had discovered something extraordinary.

I don’t know either. Does the Second Prince’s wife know about this?

Who is the biological mother of this child?

Before Eunuch Chang could figure it out, a young eunuch rushed in and shouted, "Eunuch Chang, it's bad, it's bad, my master, my master has been punished by the emperor!"

The young eunuch said this while running breathlessly.

"What? How could this be? What punishment did the emperor give me?" Eunuch Chang thought to himself that something was wrong. He looked at the small swaddling clothes not far away with a resentful look on his face, thinking to himself, this child, is it possible that he is a jinx to his grandmother?

However, he didn't dare to say this out loud and could only think about it secretly in his heart.

"I heard that the emperor has forbidden the empress to walk." The young eunuch said quickly.

"It's just house arrest, is there anything else?" Eunuch Chang thought, if it's house arrest, then it shouldn't be a big problem, right?

"This...I don't know either." The young eunuch felt a little annoyed again. Why didn't he find out clearly?

Before the young eunuch could finish feeling upset, Eunuch Li had already sent Concubine Xian back.

"Empress Xian, I'm sorry. From now on, please reflect on your mistakes in Yuxiu Palace!" Eunuch Li said loudly, as if afraid that others couldn't hear him.

"Lord Li, please go back and tell the emperor that I do not admit my fault in this matter!" Empress Xian said again unhappily.

"Hurry up and watch out, the emperor has said that no one is allowed to visit Empress Xian during her house arrest." Eunuch Li waved his hand, and a large number of imperial guards surrounded the outside of the Yuxiu Palace.

This frightened both Nanny Qiu and Eunuch Chang.

How angry was the emperor to give his master such a punishment?

However, Empress Xian acted as if nothing had happened and returned to Yuxiu Palace.

"Master, why do you have to be angry with the emperor? Why don't you just bear with it and it will be over?" Eunuch Chang said with a bitter face.

"I can't help it!" Empress Xian looked at Eunuch Chang's expression and teased him with amusement.

"Oh, what should we do now? The Second Prince's wife just got pregnant, and you have put her under house arrest." Eunuch Chang stamped his feet in anxiety.

"Will my confinement affect the Second Prince's wife's pregnancy?" Concubine Xian looked at the little grandson in the cradle again.

"Your Majesty, is this child from the royal family?" Eunuch Chang asked Concubine Xian carefully.

"You figured it out?" The concubine didn't expect that Eunuch Chang was better than the child's father and could actually see the child's identity.

"I can see it." Eunuch Chang thought to himself, this child's eyebrows are exactly the same as the second prince's (the emperor, the crown prince, and the second prince share a pair of eyebrows).

"Not bad! You have quite a good eye!" Empress Xian nodded with satisfaction.

"Master, does the Second Prince's wife know about this?" Eunuch Chang asked again.

"I know." Empress Xian nodded.

"Then the Second Prince's wife asked you to raise this child?" Eunuch Chang thought to himself, is it because the Second Prince's wife was unwilling to raise the illegitimate child for the Second Prince that she sent the child to the palace to be raised by Concubine Xian?

"I'll take care of you for a few days. I don't want to keep you here all the time. You should go back to your parents." Concubine Xian said as she picked up the child in a good mood.

Eunuch Chang and Nanny Qiu both felt that Concubine Xian might have gone crazy.

As soon as Qiao Anan returned to the Qiao family, the sedan chair from the palace also arrived at the Qiao family.

Qiao Anan brought Qiao Zhencheng and personally met with Aunt Xuan.

"This old servant greets the Second Prince's wife." Nanny Xuan was suddenly ordered by Chu Yuanming to take care of Qiao Anan, and she was stunned at first.

After all, if Nanny Xuan had asked him to serve the Crown Princess when she was pregnant, he would have found it acceptable, but the Second Prince's wife really surprised him.

However, since the emperor asked her to come, she came naturally.

People who have spent their entire lives in the palace used to look forward to leaving the palace, but now, they suddenly leave the palace.

"Madam Xuan, please get up quickly. You are an elder by our father's side. This is embarrassing for me." Qiao Anan quickly pulled Madam Xuan's hand and said.

"It was thanks to the Second Prince's wife that I suddenly got this good job outside the palace." Nanny Xuan said with a smile.

Suddenly I was looking forward to going back to see my brothers and my parents.

"I'm very happy that you're here, Ma'am. Now, the Second Prince is not in the capital, and my mother is about to give birth. With you here, I feel more reassured." Qiao Anan said quickly.

"Is Madam Qiao about to give birth?" Nanny Xuan then realized that only Qiao Anan and Qiao Zhencheng were in the room, and suddenly remembered the rumors about the Qiao family in the past.
