After that, the two of them didn't bring up those things again and started talking about the child.

When it comes to raising children, Li Jingshu is considered Geng Youran's senior.

Although most of Li Jingshu's children died young, her care for them was no less than that of a wet nurse.

But due to unforeseen circumstances, she was left with only a son and a daughter.

“Hongshi told me that you often bring him delicious food. Here, I want to thank you. In the past, I didn’t pay attention to Hongshi’s feelings. I always thought that I was just giving him things that were good for him. I never expected that I would make one mistake after another and miss so many years of my child’s growth.”

Geng Youran put down her teacup:

"Sister, let's not dwell on the past. But I must admit that I cannot forgive you for what you did in the past. From now on, let's keep to ourselves."

After saying this, Geng Youran got up and left.

"Consort, this..."

The old woman stepped forward, looking at Li Jingshu with concern.

"Granny, don't worry, I'm fine. It's just that I'm afraid you'll have to spend the rest of your life with me in this courtyard."

The old woman shook her head and smiled.

"A simple and ordinary life is not bad at all."

After leaving Li Jingshu's courtyard, Geng Youran did not rush back to her own courtyard immediately, but instead took the nanny to the garden in the back mansion.

"Granny, you must have heard what I just said to the concubine, right?"

The old woman nodded.

"So, do you think what I just said was a bit excessive?"

Upon hearing this, the old woman shook her head and said:

"Your Highness has suffered so much, I know it's hard for you. Being in the inner courtyard of the Prince's mansion, there are some things you have to swallow. Your Highness, your days will get better and better from now on."

Geng Youran didn't think so, but she wasn't as scared as she had been at the beginning.

"Let's go back, Granny."

Only after Geng Youran and the servant left did the person who had been hiding behind the artificial hill dare to show his face.

"Princess, what are you doing? She is of the same rank as you, both are princesses, there's no need to avoid her."

"What do you know? She's no ordinary princess."

The person called 'Gege' is Wu Jing'an, a newcomer who recently entered the Prince's Mansion.

Unlike the others in the mansion, she was brought in as a gift.

Since entering the Prince's mansion, although she is nominally the Prince's princess, she has never actually seen the Prince even once.

Feeling restless in the courtyard, she took her maid to the back garden to relax. Unexpectedly, they ran into Princess Geng, so she and her maid hid behind the rockery.

Before entering the Prince's mansion, her trainers had introduced her to several people in the mansion, so she already knew about this Princess Geng's background.

"Didn't I say that you should just call me by my name when we're not alone? It makes me uncomfortable to hear you call me 'Gege'?"

The maid, Green Peach, dared not address her mistress by her name directly, but fearing her mistress, she called out 'Jing'an' in a trembling voice.

Hearing Green Peach call her name, even though the voice was still very soft, Wu Jing'an felt that this was progress.

The two strolled around the garden for a while longer, but Wu Jing'an's mind was entirely on Geng Youran, so she quickly led Green Peach away.

When Geng Youran returned to the mansion, she found Wanru waiting for her in the room.

"Wanru, what brings you here? Where are the children?"

"The children are being looked after by their wet nurses. But you, you went to Consort Li's place without telling me beforehand. Are you alright?"

Geng Youran said with a smile:

"Look at you, Consort Li isn't some jackal or tiger, what could possibly happen to me?"

Geng Youran glanced at Qianxue, and Qianxue immediately knelt down:

"My lord, Princess Niohuru was not invited by me. Please don't be angry with me anymore!"

Wanru knew that Qianxue had made a mistake, and comforted her from the side:

"This girl is quite loyal. Since she already knows she was wrong, we can just punish her by deducting a month's salary. Don't be angry with her."

In fact, Niohuru Wanru was not invited by Qianxue.

Wanru came over today to show Geng Youran some of the embroidery patterns she had recently drawn, as she wanted to make some little clothes for Hongli and Hongzhou.

Upon arriving, they found Geng Youran was not there. They learned that Geng Youran had been summoned by Consort Li.

She wanted to go over, but Qianxue and Xiao Anzi stopped her, so she had no choice but to wait here for Geng Youran to return.

"Alright. Since Princess Niohuru has pleaded for you, then get up. As Princess Niohuru says, you will be fined one month's salary. However, if you dare to do it again in the future, I will not let you off lightly!"

"This servant is Xie Gege!"

"Alright, go downstairs and brew a pot of tea, and bring some fruit."

"yes!"

After Qianxue left, Wanru covered her mouth and laughed.

"Sister, you can be really scary when you have a stern face."

Geng Youran pointed to her nose and exaggeratedly said:

Am I scary?

The people around him nodded in agreement.

Geng Youran pursed her lips, thinking to herself that she looked so kind and gentle, how could she be scary?

"Alright, sister, I'm not teasing you anymore. Come on, take a look at these embroidery patterns, which one do you think is the prettiest?"

Geng Youran held several embroidery patterns and examined them, finding them all beautiful.

What should we do? She has decision-making phobia.

Seeing that Geng Youran's brows were furrowing more and more tightly, Wanru chuckled and said:

"Sister, you don't like any of these, do you?"

Geng Youran quickly put it down:

"It's not that I don't like it, it's that I like it so much! How about this, bring the children over and let them choose for themselves."

"Good idea."

The two men smiled at each other, and the servants serving them smiled back, filling the room with laughter and joy.

Meanwhile, in Nian Yunrong's room, her new head maid, Qingyan, was serving her medicine.

"Master, this medicine is bitter, but it is very effective in nourishing the body. Please bear with it and drink it."

Nian Yunrong looked at the bitter medicine in front of her with a worried expression.

This green smoke was sent by her mother through her brother Nian Gengyao; it was even more capable than the original Qingxi. Especially in the field of pharmacology, it surpassed Qingxi.

However, there is a drawback: the medicine is too bitter after brewing.

"Qingyan, can you change your routine? I'm so tired of hearing it."

After saying that, Nian Yunrong took the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

Qingyan smiled and said:

"If the concubine is tired of hearing this, this servant will change it next time."

Nian Yunrong rolled her eyes at Qingyan, then smiled.

Since Qingyan was transferred to her side, her health has indeed improved a lot. She clutched her lower abdomen, thinking that she must take good care of herself so that she could give the prince a child.
