"Okay, of course, but when I came out of the room just now, Jiuer had already fallen asleep.
How about I bring her out to show you guys after dinner?"
Ye Peizhu asked with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Princess Gong nodded quickly, her eyes sparkling, "Of course, of course. I'll go see my niece later."
As he was speaking, a servant came in to report that Prince An had arrived.
Ye Peizhu was a little surprised, but felt much more relieved.
With Prince An around, maybe he can help the prince so that he won't be bullied by Prince Gong.
"It's really lively tonight, please invite Prince An in."
Soon Prince An came into the room wearing a red cloak.
Guard Alin untied Prince An's cloak, revealing the red brocade robe underneath.
"Third brother, fourth brother, I am here to bother you. Please don't think I am annoying."
Prince An bowed and sat in the empty seat.
Prince Gong said with a smile, "Of course not, Prince An still likes red clothes so much, this place is red inside and out."
"That's right. I've always been consistent inside and out, unlike some people who are two-faced and wear different colors of clothes."
Prince An also said this with a smile, but his words clearly had a deeper meaning.
Upon hearing this, Prince Gong kept smiling, but the smile in his eyes faded a little.
Ye Peizhu picked up the teacup and took a sip, her smile hidden by the teacup.
Prince An is really interesting. Whoever has a bad complexion will be the one to blame.
Those who understood what Prince An said smiled and said nothing, drinking their tea.
Only King Kang was a beat slower to react, still grinning with his teeth bared, "Yes, King An is right, I also like to wear the same color inside and out.
It just so happens that Prince An is here too, so tonight the three of us brothers must get drunk!"
Prince An echoed, "Okay, okay. Anyway, my Prince An's Mansion is just a few steps away. It's okay to get drunk. Fourth brother, don't go home until you're drunk tonight."
Prince Gong smiled and said, "Of course, this is a rare opportunity."
Before dinner, Ye Peizhu went back to the house under the pretext of visiting her daughter.
Song Jiujiu couldn't fall asleep at this moment. She kept kicking her feet and playing with her hands. She was very bored.
She cried out when she heard familiar footsteps.
[Mom is back! Where have you been? It's been a while.]
Ye Peizhu came forward and tapped her daughter's nose. "Little clingy girl, you miss your mother so soon? Are you hungry? Let your mother feed you."
【I’m hungry! 】
While feeding her daughter, Ye Peizhu instructed Qiuyun, "Qiuyun, you continue to stay here and watch over Jiuer. Don't let Jiuer out of your sight.
After we have dinner, maybe Princess Gong will come with me to see Jiuer. You should pay attention to Princess Gong's every move and don't let her get too close to Jiuer."
"Yes, I've made note of it."
Qiuyun’s advantage is that she agrees to whatever Ye Peizhu tells her to do, and she will do her best to do it without asking any questions.
This made Ye Peizhu feel much less worried.
Princess Gong is coming to see me? Princess Gong, let me think, oh, it's that love-brained one.
I remember that Princess Gong seemed to be the concubine's daughter of a member of the Ministry of War. She was not favored and was of no help to Prince Gong.
The reason why Prince Gong married her as a princess was just a cover to confuse the old emperor and other princes. He was not interested in the throne and the struggle for power.
After all, his princess was just a concubine's daughter, and his father-in-law was of no help to him in his fight for power.
Prince Gong had no feelings for Princess Gong. There were concubines one after another in the backyard, but Princess Gong was a love-brained person.
She felt that it was a great blessing for Prince Gong, as a prince, to be willing to marry her, a concubine who could not help her in any way.
No matter how many concubines Prince Gong took, she agreed with him wholeheartedly, and she thought everything Prince Gong did was right.
It’s a pity that being in love doesn’t bring good things. I remember that in the previous life, Princess Gong seemed to have blocked a sword for Prince Gong and died on the spot.
Prince Gong had no feelings about the death of Princess Gong. He even felt that it was a good thing that Princess Gong blocked the sword for him, otherwise he would have died.
After he had Princess Gong hastily buried, only a few months later he promoted one of his concubines in the backyard to his principal wife.
As for why Prince Gong, a man who values power so much, is willing to promote his concubine to be his principal wife, it is naturally because this concubine can bring him benefits!
And this concubine... Tsk, now that I think about it, I still feel that Prince Gong may have known about this concubine's background for a long time and made this move early on.
What a pity! Why didn’t my father pick up this concubine? If he had brought her back to our Prince Kang’s Mansion, what would have happened to Prince Gong?
I’ve had enough to drink. I can’t drink any more.】
Song Jiujiu burped and pushed her mother to indicate that she was full.
Ye Peizhu listened to her daughter's thoughts, thinking about something, but quickly concealed her expression.
"Jiu'er is full. Mommy will burp him. Mommy will go to eat later. Jiu'er, please stay here and play with your toys, okay?
Your second and third brothers bought a lot of toys for you..."
Ye Peizhu gave her daughter instructions softly, put her back in the crib, gave her a plush little white rabbit toy to hold, asked Qiuyun to stay with her, and went back to the main room.
In the main room, the food has been served.
King Kang's four sons had also come and sat down. When they saw Ye Peizhu coming back, they started to eat dinner together.
The royal family members were used to not talking while eating, but tonight Prince Kang and his companions said they would not leave until they were drunk, so they naturally made an exception.
The three brothers were eating, chatting and drinking, and the atmosphere seemed pretty good.
Princess Gong was a reserved person, eating with her head down. Ye Peizhu had no intention of chatting with her during the meal. She ate by herself, and from time to time she pricked up her ears to listen to what Prince Kang and the others were talking about, and then to see how much wine Prince Kang had drunk to see if he was about to get drunk.
Fortunately, whenever Prince Gong wanted to force Prince Kang to drink, Prince An would come to block the wine for Prince Kang.
The three brothers drank two jars of wine, but King Kang was still not drunk.
"Aunt Sanhuang, can I go see my niece?"
When Princess Gong saw that Ye Peizhu had finished her meal, she mustered up the courage to ask her with blushing cheeks.
Ye Peizhu looked at the shy Princess Gong, and thought of the words in her daughter's heart. She couldn't help but look at Princess Gong with a hint of sympathy.
But she quickly suppressed this emotion and did not let Princess Gong see it.
"Okay, Jiuer should be awake by now."
Ye Peizhu agreed readily. Before leaving with Princess Gong, she instructed her four sons to keep an eye on their father and two uncles.
Back at Qingzhu Courtyard, Princess Gong followed Ye Peizhu into the house cautiously.
The inner room was warm, and filled with the fragrance of flowers and milk. As soon as Princess Gong entered, she looked at the baby lying on the crib with sparkling eyes.
