"This child is so beautiful, he looks just like Sister Su," Xueying said, holding the baby.
“Indeed, she really does look like Su Gege,” Liu Momo laughed.
If Su can give birth to the child safely, then her task as a mother of children is complete.
The principal wife and Lady Gao entered one after the other, and they also came over to look at the child.
"It's getting cold, quickly wrap this child in the quilt I gave to Sister Su," Madam Gao suddenly said.
"Yes, Princess said so, Princess Gao really meant well. But when I was airing that quilt a few days ago, it accidentally fell into the well and got wet. I had to put it in the sun to dry, and it's still not completely dry," Liu Mama added.
Upon hearing this, Madam Gao had already cursed Granny Liu in her heart, but she still said aloud, "That's really unfortunate."
"Alright, now that the baby has been safely delivered, get everything ready. The Prince hasn't returned to the manor yet, but he should be back tomorrow. We won't go to inform him tonight," Mingyu said to everyone.
She really didn't want to see the child; he wasn't her own, and she simply couldn't bring herself to like him.
After everyone left, Xueying instructed Granny Liu to take good care of Madam Su, as the postpartum period was a very crucial time.
Granny Liu also knew this and said to Xueying, "Don't worry, Consort, everything is prepared. This old servant has a lot of experience."
"Did the Gao family send over a quilt?" Xueying suddenly asked.
“That’s right. I saw it when I took it out a few days ago, but unfortunately it fell into the water basin that day, so I couldn’t use it,” said Granny Liu.
"Let me see it tomorrow," Xueying said.
"Yes, does Consort Xueying find anything wrong with the quilt?" Granny Liu asked, noticing Xueying's interest in the quilt.
"I don't know, whatever it is, we have to be careful," Xueying said.
After working hard for most of the night, the child was born safely, and both Madam Su and the little prince were safe and sound.
Mingyu returned to the main courtyard, but couldn't fall asleep. Every time she closed her eyes, all she saw was that tiny, chubby, red baby. Hongli had indeed had his first child, but it wasn't his own!
"Madam, why aren't you asleep yet!" Zi Xun was keeping watch over Ming Yu and found that the person on the bed was tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
“Mrs. Su gave birth safely, and I can see that child whenever I close my eyes. Just imagine, the Prince will probably visit Mrs. Su often because of this child,” Mingyu said. She felt a fire burning inside her, preventing her from sleeping peacefully.
“Your Highness, Princess Gao has already promised you. She doesn’t want to see Princess Su promoted to Consort,” Zi Xun said.
"The method she suggested sounds good, but she didn't even use that blanket. It's just empty talk," Mingyu said angrily.
"There's plenty of time. Your Highness will surely have a legitimate son," Zi Xun advised.
Actually, even after Gao returned home, she couldn't sleep. She had painstakingly made that quilt, only to have it ruined by Granny Liu.
"I'm so angry. Looks like I'll have to think of another way," Gao muttered to herself.
"Princess, it's getting late, you should go to sleep," Jinling said, standing outside the bed.
"Prepare a gift first thing tomorrow morning, and go to Qiushui Pavilion. She has a son, so you should at least go and congratulate her," Madam Gao instructed.
"Yes, I've got it." Jinling said.
