The sickly son died young? After the marriage exchange, I will bring prosperity to his entire clan f

Tianlan Kingdom, Princess Anning's Residence.

"Ah..." A cry of pain was accompanied by the weak sobs of a baby.

The midwife's joyful shouts echoed through the room.

"It's born! The princess has given birth!"

"It's a..."

"It's a girl."

The man waiting in the courtyard for news turned completely pale when he heard from inside that it was a girl. He rushed into the delivery room without thinking and confirmed that it was indeed a girl.

My heart grew cold.

He was about to walk over when the midwife stopped him, saying, "Please wait outside, Your Highness. The princess has just given birth and is not yet ready to see anyone."

“I am her husband, why can’t I see her?” Feng Yongming’s face turned cold. The midwife shrank back and immediately made way. Before she could step forward, he said to the wet nurse holding the child, “Alright, take her away, don’t disturb Anning.”

Feeling cold, Nangong Ruxue experienced a sudden headache. She opened her mouth to speak, but only a series of sounds came out: "Waaaaah..."

I'm knocking, what's going on?

"The Fourth Miss must be hungry."

"Let them be hungry. It's uncertain whether they'll survive in the future. The prince consort and princess have been longing for a son for so long, and now it's a daughter. I'm afraid even the Empress Dowager will be disappointed."

"Alright, that's enough. Even if they're not likable, they're still the princess's children. But... they already have four children, and still no boys. I'm afraid the prince consort will have to have a serious talk with the princess."

Nangong Ruxue tried to move her small body, but her wet nurse held her tightly, and she couldn't move at all. In the end, she could only protest by crying.

delivery room.

Feng Yongming's face was grim, his deep, dark eyes filled with anger, yet he restrained himself completely as he stared at the woman exhausted from her work, his fingers gently caressing her.

The midwife and others, who had tidied up briefly, had already left.

He gently raised his hand and placed it on the woman's neck, trying to mimic the action of choking her again and again, but ultimately did not actually choke her.

Finally, he sighed heavily and closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, the anger in them had turned into deep worry. He plopped down and shoved the woman awake.

Princess Anning turned slowly, and when she met the man's worried eyes, her heart sweetened. "My husband."

“I’m sorry I made too much noise and woke you up. Are you alright? We won’t have any more children. If we don’t have a boy, we don’t have a boy. Let the ancestors of the Feng family come and find me. This is what I have to bear. I can’t bear to see you suffer like this.”

Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Princess Anning's eyes. "It's a girl?"

"Yes, the baby is hungry. I was afraid her crying would disturb you, so I had the wet nurse take her out."

"My husband, once I've recovered, we'll..."

Feng Yongming immediately reached out and covered her mouth, saying, "Stop talking. While you were giving birth, I was suffering outside. Hearing your cries of pain was like a knife cutting into my heart."

"My husband." Princess Anning was deeply moved, and tears streamed down her face.

Feng Yongming was extremely nervous. "No, don't cry, it will break my heart."

Princess Anning was even more moved by Feng Yongming's reaction. "I'll pick one of my maids for you. At least you'll have a boy."

"Don't talk nonsense. You are the only woman I have in my life. Don't say such things again, or I will get angry."

"But my husband..."

"Alright, let's forget about taking a concubine. I can't stand other women sleeping next to me. If you want... let's go outside and find a good boy to adopt, to make Mother happy. I'm all for it, but Mother is the main concern."

"Okay, we'll adopt him."

Just then, someone knocked hurriedly on the door, "Your Highness, there's a child outside."

Feng Yongming immediately scolded, "The princess has just given birth. Don't make a scene outside and upset her. Get out of here."

Princess Anning quickly grabbed Feng Yongming's hand, "Don't be angry, I'm fine. Let them in and ask them what the child is."

"I'll definitely punish them properly later," Feng Yongming said, letting the people outside in.

Chunyu, the princess's personal maid, led the midwife who had been there earlier into the room. The midwife was holding a baby in her arms.

Chunyu curtsied. "Your Highness, there's a child outside the door. He looks like a newborn." She glanced up at the two of them, then lowered her head slightly. "It's a boy."

Before Feng Yongming could speak, Princess Anning said, "Bring the child here." She then added, "Chunyu, go and have the wet nurse bring the Fourth Miss..."

Before he could finish speaking, the child's heart-wrenching cries came from outside.

A mother's heart is always with her daughter, and Princess Anning immediately became anxious, "But what happened?"

The servants rushed in, and the wet nurse, carrying the child, immediately knelt down, saying, "Your Highness, the Fourth Miss does not want to drink my milk."

Four wet nurses were prepared, and they all came over, kneeling on the ground, trembling.

Hearing her daughter crying, Princess Anning felt extremely distressed. "Quickly, bring the child here."

The baby boy, who was originally going to be placed on the princess's bed, was moved further away, and the fourth young lady was sent to the princess's arms.

The child was still crying, one cry after another.

Princess Anning's heart was broken. "She doesn't want to drink any of your milk?"

"Yes."

"Chunyu, quickly go find another wet nurse."

I'm so hungry! I want to eat! I want to eat!

Princess Anning thought she was hallucinating. She looked around and found that no one seemed to be acting strangely. Then she looked down at her daughter in her arms and saw that her daughter was crying so hard that she could hardly breathe and her face was red.

I'm so hungry, I'm starving!

Princess Anning heard this, and her hand trembled so much that she almost dropped the child. Then she remembered that the child was hungry, and said, "Quickly go and heat up some goat milk to try."

The room was a bit messy. Compared to the girl's fuss, the boy didn't cry at all; he was quiet and well-behaved, like a little angel.

Finally, after drinking the goat milk, her stomach felt a little better, and Nangong Ruxue opened her eyes to see the person feeding her the milk.

Upon seeing this, she frowned.

My mother is so beautiful, the most beautiful woman in the world.

[Why is my life so unlucky? Tsk tsk tsk.]

[His fate was truly unfortunate; he died young and violently.]

Princess Ning'an, who was breastfeeding, accidentally spilled some milk due to a tremor in her hand.

Chunyu hurriedly stepped forward, "Princess, let me do it. You just gave birth and you're still weak."

“I’ll do it. This child doesn’t like the wet nurse; he probably likes his parents.” Feng Yongming took the bowl and spoon and fed him.

Princess Anning was just about to witness this heartwarming scene when she heard her daughter's soft, sweet voice filled with fear and panic.

[Ugh, what an absolute scumbag! His heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and lungs are all black; he has a harem of wives and concubines, and numerous children!]

[They even tried to poison the baby! The baby's scared.]

"I don't want it, I won't eat it, I won't eat it, I want my mother, I want my mother."

The baby in the swaddling clothes kept its mouth tightly shut. Feng Yongming brought the spoon to the baby's mouth, then helplessly pulled it back. "What's wrong with this child?"

Amidst the confusion, Princess Anning hurriedly took the child, saying, "He must be full. Let me take a look."

Feng Yongming said, "Let the wet nurse take him away."

"It's snowing heavily outside, don't let her catch a cold, just stay in bed." Princess Anning placed the child on the inside of the bed.

Chunyu spoke first, pointing to another quiet baby boy, "Princess, what should we do with this child?"

"Bring it here so I can take a look."

As the child was brought forward, Feng Yongming also came closer to look, saying, "Anning, this child looks just like you."

"Really?" Princess Anning was a little unsure; she didn't think it looked that similar.

"The eyebrows and the mouth are so similar."

Chunyu also stepped forward to take a look, "Now that the prince consort has mentioned it, it does look somewhat like him."

Having just given birth and being a new mother, I have absolutely no resistance to seeing such a baby. "I don't know who is so heartless as to throw away a newborn child."

Oh dear, another child? That can't be right, my beautiful mother only gave birth to me.

[She looks like her mother; I want to see her, I want to see the child.]

Hearing her thoughts, Princess Anning reached out and picked up her daughter. "Let my daughter see. These two children are probably born around the same time, which can be considered fate."

[Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, I'm so angry!]

[Isn't this her scumbag father's mistress? Why was he sent to her beautiful mother?]

[And the appearance of this person in the outer room is quite strange.]

[Heavens... a soul from another world, a soul body from another world.]

[His beautiful mother raised him, but he repaid kindness with enmity, conspiring with others to harm his mother and sister, and seizing the Nangong family's empire from within and without.]

[The entire royal family, including the Nangong clan, was wiped out. How tragic, truly tragic.]

[Oh my god, the big villain! So fun, so interesting, so incredibly fun!]

Princess Anning was in turmoil. What did her daughter just say?

Did this child seize the Nangong family's throne?

"Anning? Anning?" Feng Yongming called out several times, but when he found that she didn't respond, he couldn't help but push her.

Princess Anning snapped out of her daze, hurriedly lowered her head, then looked up at the child again, remembering what she had heard. It was true.

Rather than saying the child resembles her, it's more accurate to say the child resembles Feng Yongming.

"This child looks just like you, and suddenly he's placed at the entrance of the princess's residence. What's going on? Could it be that someone is plotting against us?"

"Huh? Do we look alike? I don't see it, but I feel like we look a lot like you."

Chunyu chimed in, "Princess, this child doesn't resemble the prince consort much; he looks more like you."

"Oh, then go and investigate where this child came from and why he suddenly appeared at the gate of my princess's residence. It's too much of a coincidence."

Feng Yongming tightened his grip. "It should indeed be investigated, but it's likely the adults who did it; the children are innocent."

"Okay." Princess Anning said, "Chunyu, go and tidy up the side room so that the wet nurse can take the child and stay there for now."

"Yes."

An old woman came over and said, "Your Highness, the old lady has heard that the princess has given birth to a daughter and requests that you come to the Hall of Joyful Longevity."

"You get some rest, I'll go talk to your mother."

"it is good."

Watching Feng Yongming leave, Princess Anning felt utterly exhausted. The little one beside her had fallen asleep sometime earlier, and her thoughts were in turmoil. Was what her daughter had said just now true?

An hour later, Princess Anning was feeding her child with a spoon.

Chunyu rushed in, "Princess, the prince consort has been kneeling in the Buddhist hall for an hour."

An Ning appeared calm on the surface, but her heart was far from calm. "Why?"

"I heard that the old lady is forcing the prince consort to take a concubine, saying that the Feng family cannot be without an heir. The prince consort is unwilling to have a quarrel with her, and it's causing quite a commotion."

Anning was still breastfeeding, seemingly lost in thought.

Just as Chunyu was about to speak, Nangong Ruxue, who had just finished nursing, became more alert. She turned her head and saw Chunyu's face, her eyes widening in surprise.

Oh my god, bad guy, bad guy!

[That scoundrel! He's a bad person, a spy, someone else's informant, and he's biased towards his scumbag father.]

[My poor mother, having someone like this by her side, she's bound to be tormented to death!]

However, someone as love-struck as my mother probably only has her beloved husband on her mind.

How can I warn Mother that this unruly servant will strangle me to make way for that villain?

Yeah, so I'm destined to be cannon fodder.

[Damn it...fuck him.]

An Ning suddenly chuckled. She didn't understand the meaning of the last sentence, but she was sure it wasn't a compliment.

Chunyu stared at Anning strangely, "Princess, what about the Prince Consort..."

"You can go down now. Let Xia Yu come in and serve you."

"But Princess, if you don't care about the prince consort, the old lady won't be appeased."

"How dare you!" An Ning was furious. These maids who had grown up with her since childhood were really too indulgent.

Startled, Chunyu knelt down with a thud, tears streaming down her face. "Please forgive me, Princess. I was afraid you would feel sorry, guilty, and remorseful if you found out about the Prince Consort, so I overstepped my bounds. Please forgive me, Princess."

In the past, when the maids acted this way, she would offer a few words of comfort, but today Anning did not. "Go down."

Chunyu stiffened, lowered her eyes meekly, and said, "Yes."

[Oh dear, my beautiful mother is angry! Did she sense something was off about Chunyu's words? That's good.]

When Xia Yu came in, An Ning's first reaction was to pick up the baby and take a look. But then she stopped, thinking of something else. "Change the diaper for the fourth young lady."

"Yes." Xia Yu didn't say a word more, just quietly did her work.

Nangong Ruxue felt her body being swayed, glanced at Xia Yu, and felt rather emotional.

[This is what a loyal servant is like.]

When her beautiful mother died a violent death, this maidservant immediately followed her mistress in death.

She's just a bit quiet; her beautiful mother doesn't seem very close to her.

How can I tell my beautiful mother that this is the best course of action?

Xia Yu quietly finished changing the diaper and was about to leave when she found that the Fourth Miss was pulling on her sleeve. She didn't dare to use force, for fear of hurting the Fourth Miss, so she could only gently pry it off with her hand.

As soon as I reached out, my fingers were grabbed.

An Ning chuckled, "Since the Fourth Miss likes you, you'll have to serve her more often from now on."

Xia Yu was both excited and nervous, her voice trembling slightly, "Yes."

"Don't be nervous," An Ning reassured her.

Nangong Ruxue was moaning and groaning in bed.

She was terrified; her beautiful mother must have forgotten that she had transferred him to an outside position to manage things because she disliked his quiet nature.

An Ning: "..." She wanted to say something, but fearing that her daughter would notice something was wrong, she simply kept quiet.

"Has the news of the Fourth Miss's birth not yet reached the palace?"

"Never."

"Send a messenger in and bring paper and pen."

Soon, Anning wrote a letter and handed it to Xia Yu, saying, "Give this letter to A-Da quietly, and don't let Chunyu know."

Isn't that the person who's pursuing spring rain?

[That's right, Ah Da was given to Mother by the Emperor, and Mother trusts him the most.]

I wonder if Ah Da will betray Mother.

[No, we must stop it.]

To prevent any accidents, it's best not to let Ah Da have any contact with it.

"Waaaaah..." With no other option, she could only open her mouth and cry loudly.

Xia Yu had already reached the door when she heard the child crying, so she immediately turned back. "Is the child hungry?"

An Ning understood. She immediately picked up the child and gently coaxed him until the child stopped crying. Then she said to Xia Yu, "Leave the letter for now, we won't send it."

"Yes." Xia Yuxin placed the letter on the table and stood respectfully to one side.
