Princess Pingrou was really helpless. What kind of gentleman did Lu Ze need at this time?
Princess Pingrou sighed and asked the nanny beside her, "Xiang'er, when I gave birth to Lu Ze, was my child switched? Is it like what the storyteller said, that a servant, greedy for wealth and status, switched their own child with that of a wealthy family?"
Lu Ze: “…”
Qi Yuning smiled faintly and said, "When the princess gave birth, there should have been many servants, so it's unlikely that someone would have been switched. Aren't royal births always monitored by female doctors and maids? How could someone have switched?"
"If the baby hadn't been switched, how could this princess have given birth to such a stubborn son?"
Princess Pingrou knew that although Qi Yuning had not agreed out loud, her expression did not look like she was rejecting. Lu Ze actually refused without waiting for Qi Yuning to speak!
Princess Pingrou couldn't help but suspect that someone had swapped her son. How could her son be so stupid!
Lu Baozhu said, "I also think someone has replaced my eldest brother. Maybe he is still suffering in some unknown corner of the people. If there is a famine or something, he might even be sold into slavery.
Fortunately, my eldest brother is a man, so at most he could be a slave. If my sister had been switched and fallen into poverty, and encountered a famine, she would have been sold to an old man as his nineteenth concubine, and would have been very lonely and miserable.
Princess Pingrou said, "It's not impossible. Perhaps I originally gave birth to a daughter, and someone switched her for a son. I wonder where my poor daughter is?"
"My poor sister! Please don't become a concubine to this old man."
Princess Pingrou and Lu Baozhu were addicted to acting, and their expressions were full of grief, as if it were really true.
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and saw that he was already used to such nonsensical jokes towards his mother and sister.
Qi Yuning chuckled and said, "Your Highness the Princess and the County Lady are really good at joking. They say that Prince Lu looks very similar to Your Majesty. When rich families give birth to children, they all have a lot of servants. How could they switch the babies? Switching babies is simply nonsense."
Princess Pingrou said seriously, "Alas, speaking of this, there really was a case of child substitution. It happened in the palace. Back then, my brother was almost switched. The Nanny Qin who tried to switch the child was always loyal to my mother. Who knew she would actually try to switch her own daughter with the Crown Prince? She later jumped into the river and committed suicide, and her body was never found..."
