She was probably really exhausted. Geng Youran leaned against the bed reading a book and fell asleep again without realizing it. When she woke up again, it was already the next morning.

"Princess, are you up?"

Qianxue and Xiao Anzi carried washbasins and breakfast into the house.

"I feel like I'm about to fall into a deep sleep."

"I came in once during the middle of the night and saw that you were sleeping so soundly."

After changing her clothes, putting on makeup, and eating breakfast, Geng Youran felt much better.

"Princess, this was sent by Eunuch Gao. The Prince was originally going to come, but Eunuch Gao said there was an emergency at the palace, so the Prince asked him to send it instead."

"What is that?"

Geng Youran took a box from Xiao Anzi, opened it, and saw that it contained a jade bracelet.

"His Highness also said that he was too busy with official duties to celebrate your birthday before, so this bracelet is his way of making amends."

Qianxue chimed in from the side:

"It seems that His Highness still thinks of the Princess. He even brings you gifts when he goes to inspect the local areas."

"What gift? It's clearly just a guilty conscience."

Although Geng Youran said this, she was actually extremely happy inside.

Not long after, the butler came again.

"This servant greets Your Highness."

"Butler? Is there something you need?"

"Your wife has arrived and is waiting at the door."

Geng Youran stood up in surprise:

"Xiao Anzi, what are you standing there for? Quickly follow the manager to the door to greet them!"

"Okay!"

Everyone was overjoyed to see their master had regained his spirits.

"mother!"

Geng Youran lost control and threw herself into Madam Geng's arms right there in the courtyard.

"You silly girl, be careful the servants don't laugh at you."

“My daughter is close to her mother, what's there to laugh about? Mother, come inside!”

She helped Madam Geng into the house, Xiao Anzi kept watch at the door, and Qianxue hurried downstairs to make tea, each busy with their own tasks.

"Mother, why did the Prince suddenly bring you here? Does the Princess Consort know about this?"

Madam Geng patted her daughter's hand and looked at Geng Youran with loving eyes:

"When Mother came, she had already paid her respects to the Princess Consort. The Prince sent someone to say that you were not feeling well, so he specially sent someone to bring me here. Now that I see you, you seem to be feeling better?"

Geng Youran twitched the corner of her mouth, thinking to herself that this man seemed to have taken the wrong medicine for a moment.

"Mother, I only caught a cold a few days ago, and I'm all better after taking medicine for a few days. Look, I'm as strong as ever."

After she finished speaking, she even stood up and spun around in front of Madam Geng a few times.

"That's good. It's getting cold today, so you should take better care of yourself; you're a mother now."

Geng Youran sighed:

"If only Mother had come a few days earlier, Hongzhou is currently studying in the palace and only comes back once every ten days or half a month."

"As a prince, you naturally have to work harder. But daughter, haven't you ever thought about having another one?"

Although their daughter had already given birth to a prince, in the royal family, who would complain about having too many children?

“Daughter, don’t blame your mother for being nosy. Men, you know, mostly like novelty. You’re still young, while your body is still strong, it won’t hurt to have a few more children.”

"Mother, I am quite content with Hongzhou."

"So the Fourth Prince doesn't care either? I never intended for you to use your children to secure favor, but if you have more children, even if you lose favor in the future, your children will still love you, right?"

Before Geng Youran could even open her mouth, he heard these words.

Perhaps sensing that her mistress was somewhat embarrassed, Qianxue took the opportunity to bring out the tea and snacks.

"Madam, please have some tea."

"Good girl, you've worked hard."

"You flatter me, Madam. This is all my duty."

Madam Geng nodded, thinking that Qianxue was a girl who knew how to read the room.

"My daughter, you silly girl?"

"Mother, if I may be so bold, please stop trying to take advantage of the maidservant next to me. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking."

"Alright, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, I won't interfere."

At this moment, Xiao Anzi came in to deliver a message:

"Master, Princess Yun has arrived."

What is she doing here?

"They said they came to have tea with you, but this servant doesn't think it's that simple."

Geng Youran thought for a moment:

"Just tell her that my wife is here today and it's inconvenient for me to receive her. I'll invite her over another day."

"Yes, sir."

Xiao Anzi walked quickly to the courtyard gate:

"Princess Yun, my princess has guests here today and it's inconvenient for her to see you. However, my princess said she will definitely invite you over another day."

“Since my sister has distinguished guests, it is naturally inappropriate for me to disturb them. Well then, Eunuch An, we shall take our leave.”

"To the princess."

Xiao Anzi watched Yun Gege leave, while inside, Madam Geng was wondering who this Yun Gege was.

"Princess Yun? Daughter, when did you get a Princess Yun in your household?"

Geng Youran didn't intend to say anything more.

"Look at what you're saying, what's so special about having a few more princesses in the prince's mansion?"

Mrs. Geng immediately sensed something was wrong.

"Qianxue, tell me."

Qianxue was feeling quite uncomfortable, so she pretended not to see her mistress's warning look and quickly told Madam Geng about the background of this Yun Gege.

Mrs. Geng frowned after hearing this:

“Daughter, now that you mention it, this Princess Yun is no ordinary person.”

"Mother, don't worry. Besides, there are plenty of princesses in this mansion, so there's no need to make a fuss."

"No, daughter, your illness a few days ago wasn't because of this Princess Yun, was it?"
