Hongli, despite his noble status, didn't care, but she still had to make a living in the mansion! She didn't want to openly challenge the authority of the Fujin (the wife of the emperor).
She insisted on pulling her hand away, so Hongli had no choice but to let go. Only then, feeling free, did she step into the house.
Hongli and Su Yushan entered one after the other. Yuying, who was sitting in the seat of honor, was suddenly struck by this scene and felt a sense of admiration for the handsome man and beautiful woman.
For a fleeting moment, she had the illusion that they were the real couple. This was because Hongli's gaze towards her was gentle yet distant, while when he looked at Su Yushan, his eyes were filled with uncontrollable doting affection.
As the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind. When she didn't see it, Yu Ying didn't care. But when she witnessed the two of them being perfectly matched, no matter how magnanimous she was, a ripple would inevitably arise in her heart.
But it was only for a moment; she quickly regained her composure and rose to greet the Fourth Prince.
Hongli had to entertain other male guests, so he only sent Su Yushan in before going to attend to other matters.
Su Yushan took the child from the nanny's arms, held the child close, and bowed to the Fujin.
Granny Cui presented a red sachet, which Yu Ying took, opened, and personally placed a small gold lock around the young prince's neck.
The front of the gold lock was engraved with the words "May you have good fortune, longevity, and peace," while the back depicted a qilin delivering a child. Below were three rows of small, exquisite gold bells, gleaming brightly.
"This is a longevity lock that I had made, which I presented to the young prince as a gift, wishing him peace, health, and a long life."
Su Yushan bowed respectfully and said with lowered eyes, "Thank you for your generous gift, Madam."
Princess Fucha stepped forward slowly. "When my sister was in confinement, the Fourth Prince forbade us to disturb her, so I never had a chance to see the little prince. Today is the first time I've seen him! Come, let me hold the little prince."
At this moment, Princess Fucha was speaking to her with a smile, but Su Yushan couldn't forget how Princess Fucha had mocked her behind her back that day. She had to be wary of such a scheming woman. Just as the nanny was about to hand her something, Su Yushan spoke up.
"My child has recently been suffering from a fever and has difficulty breathing. He only manages to fall asleep with great difficulty. If I keep turning over, he might wake up and start crying again, which would be troublesome."
Rejected in public, Princess Fucha's smile froze. "But I clearly saw Second Master Fu hold the child just now. How come he can hold the child, but I can't?"
Bamboo says: I'm sorry for the late update. Something unpleasant happened this afternoon, and I'm a bit emotional. I need to adjust, so there won't be a second update today. See you tomorrow.
