“Princess, this old servant is a birth maid in the palace, and I have served several ladies during their childbirths. Judging from your belly, there shouldn’t be any problem with a natural birth,” Liu Momo comforted her.

"I hope so," said Madam Su.

Meanwhile, Lady Gao was preparing for the banquet at the manor for the Golden Festival. Hongli, his principal wife, and his concubines were not in the manor, so as the steward, she had to prepare a family banquet, even though it was just her and Lady Su, the two mistresses.

"The principal wife has given the instructions. Set it up in the back garden. All the stewards in the mansion should have a table set up. First-class maids and second-class maids should also be served. Third-class maids and the maids who do menial tasks should also have extra dishes," Madam Gao instructed from the entrance of the kitchen.

"Princess, everything is ready. The ingredients were prepared several days ago. It's just that our kitchen only has a dozen or so people. We're short-handed to serve so many people in the manor," said the head chef in charge of the kitchen.

"Don't worry, we've already dispatched people over. They'll be here shortly. Everything in the garden is ready; we're just waiting for you," said Madam Gao.

The managers nodded and went about their respective tasks.

Gao was dressed in a rose-red cheongsam and had her hair styled in a large, elaborate updo.

"I'm exhausted. Things in this manor are really something," said Madam Gao.

“Princess, now even the Prince has praised you for your intelligence and competence, which is a great advantage,” Jinling said.

"Yes, all my hard work hasn't been in vain." A hint of happiness flashed across Gao's face.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Su, tired from walking, rested in the house.

“Princess, once the Golden Festival is over, the cold winds from the north will be coming. We should take out our cotton-padded clothes. We also need to prepare the children’s things,” Liu Momo said.

"Yes, take them all out and let them dry in the sun," said Madam Su.

Liu Momo then went with several maids to bring out Su's winter clothes and the clothes and quilts prepared for the children.

Liu Momo noticed the baby quilt that Gao had given to Su and asked the maid where it came from.

Because everything belonging to the Su family had to be inspected by Liu Momo, except for this quilt, which she had never seen before.

When Madam Gao delivered the quilt, Liu Momo was suffering from a cold and fever. After Liu Momo recovered and returned to take care of her, Madam Su didn't think to let Liu Momo know about the quilt.

"Princess, did Princess Gao send this quilt?" Liu Momo asked, holding the quilt.

"Yes, it was sent over when Momo was sick. I forgot to tell you," said Madam Su.

"Oh, then this servant will take it to air it out," Liu Momo said.

Su nodded, and Liu Momo personally carried the quilt to the yard and found a vacant spot to air it out.

Liu Momo Zhupa Zi tapped the quilt, and as soon as she turned around, she saw Xiao Mu standing behind her.

"Xiao Mu, you startled me," Liu Momo said.

"Mmm, I have something to tell you," said Xiao Mu.

"Then you tell me," Liu Momo said.

So Xiao Mu repeated what Gao Shi had said when she brought the quilt that day, as well as what the concubine had said.

Actually, Liu Momo was familiar with those words; Lanqin had said them to Liu Momo before.

"Xiao Mu, do you think Consort Liu's words were implying something?" Liu Momo asked.

“Yes, my princess is too gentle. My princess and Gao had feelings for each other before, but people’s hearts can change. I’m a little worried, but my princess doesn’t seem to listen. I think that if the concubine said those things, there must be some basis for it,” Xiao Mu said.
