"Zhuzhi, is Yuyin here?" The Empress Dowager sat up from the bed.
"Yes, Your Highness, Consort Yuyin is truly devoted to you. This old servant wishes Your Highness a dutiful and filial daughter-in-law." Zhuzhi happily led Yuyin in.
"You silly girl, you never pay attention to the prince, but you come to see this old woman all day long," the Dowager said, feigning anger with a stern face.
"How can Your Highness say that? To be frank, I've almost come to regard you as my own mother. If you say that, I'll be heartbroken," Yu Yin said, feigning coquettishness.
"You silly girl, you really are—" The Dowager Consort didn't know what to say to Yu Yin, so she could only give a bitter laugh. "With you like this, running to my place every few days, and the Prince not seeing you all day, when will I ever get to hold your grandson?"
"Your Highness, you don't know, the Prince hasn't come to our place at all this month!" Caixing couldn't help but say.
After hearing what Cai Xing said, Yu Yin immediately glared at her, and only then did she stop talking.
"Yu Yin, why won't you let her speak? Since you won't let her speak, then you tell me yourself what happened. Did Seventeen go to your place?" This time, the Dowager Consort really put on a stern face and looked extremely serious.
Yu Yin lowered her head, shook her head embarrassedly, and said, "Prince will most likely go to his wife's place, but since she is pregnant, it is only right that he take care of her as well."
"You, you, what can I say to you!" The Dowager sighed and shook her head. "What's this girl's name?" the Dowager asked, pointing to Cuiping standing next to Yuyin.
"Your Highness, this servant is Cuiping!" Cuiping curtsied and stood in the middle.
"She seems to be a clever girl. Go to the main courtyard and call Seventeen to come see me."
Consort Shu dismissed Cuiping to the main courtyard, then turned to look at Yuyin, "Tell me, what did you bring this old woman this time?"
Seeing that Consort Shu had returned to normal, Yu Yin finally felt relieved. "This is a dress I made for you myself. The color suits you perfectly, making you look elegant and noble."
"At your age, why bother with elegance and luxury? You are quite pretty, though. Keep the bamboo branch! But you should focus your energy on what's truly useful in the future."
"Mother, did you call me?" Just then, the voice of the Seventeenth Prince came, and then the handsome face of the Seventeenth Prince came into view.
"Yu Yin, you're here too?" The Seventeenth Prince was taken aback when he saw Yu Yin there.
When Consort Shu saw the Seventeenth Prince approaching, her eyebrows immediately furrowed.
"You child, have you forgotten your mother now that you have a wife?"
“Mother, why do you say that? You know what kind of person I am. When have I ever forgotten you?”
Zhu Zhi carried a small bundle over and placed it in front of the Seventeenth Prince.
"You're a grown man, and you're always running to the Fujin's room. The Fujin is about to give birth and can't take care of you anymore. You should go to Yuyin's room more often. You're a grown man, and you can't help her much by going there all the time. What will it look like if outsiders find out?"
Upon hearing Consort Shu's words, the Seventeenth Prince simply smiled and said nothing.
Yu Yin, however, was secretly delighted.
However, he wouldn't say anything. The Seventeenth Prince had always been a filial son, and now that he heard his mother say so, he naturally wouldn't refute it.
