"Rou'er, what did you say?"
Prince Yun ecstatically shook off Li Qingzhu's hand and ran towards Cao Rouer.
Cao Rou'er said shyly, "I only learned about this today when I returned to my parents' home. I've had an upset stomach for the past few days and haven't been able to eat anything, but I didn't want to alert them. So, when I returned to my parents' home today, I asked my father to help me get a doctor to see me."
"Your Majesty, I am pregnant with your child and it has been almost two months."
Prince Yun was so surprised that he hugged Cao Rouer tightly.
"Rou'er, that's great! You are really my good Rou'er!"
No wonder Prince Yun was so ecstatic.
He had been married to Princess Yun for four years, and he had five concubines in total, but now he had few children, only one son and three daughters.
Although the legitimate son was born by the princess, he, the prince, only had one son!
Therefore, if Cao Rouer was pregnant with a bastard child, it would be a great joy for him!
"Rou'er, give me a son, and I will reward you handsomely!"
Cao Rou'er leaned shyly in Prince Yun's arms: "Yes, Your Majesty. I will do my best..."
Cao Rouer was gently and considerately helped up by Prince Yun himself.
Li Qingzhu, who was watching this scene, pinched her palms so hard that they were broken.
Her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.
But I dared not shed tears anymore.
She knew very well that if she continued to act jealous at this moment, she would bring bad luck to Prince Yun.
So what if he loves her again?
I'm afraid he would get furious and scold her for being ignorant.
But letting her watch him being affectionate with another woman and talking about offspring is simply torture!
Li Qingzhu glared at Cao Rouer fiercely, wishing she could cut her into pieces!
Give birth to a son?
Oh, if she can't even keep the child, how can she win the prince's favor?
Just when Li Qingzhu was about to take a step forward and pretend to act out sisterly love with Cao Rouer again, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the garden below.
"It's truly beautiful here. Your Highness, if you stand up high, you can definitely see the entire Princess Mansion, right?"
"Yes. I've heard that the Princess's Mansion is magnificent, large, and beautiful. Even His Majesty can't stop praising it."
"Then we'd like to take a look too."
"I wonder if I have the honor?"
"We came out together to digest our food. Since the princess ordered us to visit the garden together, it should be possible, right, Your Highness?"
The sound of a group of girls laughing made Li Qingzhu's face change instantly.
Oh no!
Why are they all here?
Li Qingzhu immediately approached Prince Yun, terrified: "Prince, what should we do?"
Prince Yun comforted her: "It's okay, I'm here."
In the garden, a group of girls of various colors came to the foot of the rockery in groups.
Princess Nanping put her hands on her hips and pointed at the pavilion and said, "Sisters, this is the platform to wait for the moon!"
"Any of you who want to see the whole picture of our princess's mansion can go up and have a good look."
Then, a group of women ran up the narrow stairs.
The maids shouted in panic: "Miss, be careful, Miss..."
"Ouch, my foot."
"Hey, let me go up first."
There was a commotion below, and two guards quickly ran down from above and blocked the way: "Stop!"
"Prince Yun is here, who dares to act rashly? Everyone, retreat immediately!"
The guard shouted in shock, and all the maids were stunned.
When they heard Prince Yun again, everyone's expression changed and they quickly retreated.
"Why is His Royal Highness Prince Yun here..."
"I don't know. We happen to be waiting for the platform here. Does that mean we can't get on?"
"Oh, what a pity..."
Everyone was filled with regret, but Princess Nanping slipped out.
"My fourth uncle is up there? How come I didn't know he was here today? Then I'll go up and pay my respects to him!"
Nanping ran up immediately.
Pei Nanjia, who was at the back of the crowd, pulled Li Qingluo and said, "I'm afraid Nanping won't be able to go up."
Sure enough, Princess Nanping was stopped by two guards before she could go up.
"Your Highness, our prince has some personal matters to attend to right now, so it's not convenient for him to see anyone. Please forgive me, Your Highness, and come see the prince later."
Princess Nanping put her hands on her hips and said, "How dare you! You little slave, look carefully at who I am!"
"This is our princess's mansion. My fourth uncle is in our garden, and he even missed me?"
"Uncle Si Wang, your people won't let me go up, Uncle Si Wang!"
Princess Nanping shouted loudly, but there was no response from above, only the whistling sound of the wind.
Just then, a voice rang out from behind, "Fourth Brother! Today is my winter banquet, and I've invited the young ladies from all over Jinling City to join me. Although you're a guest, you shouldn't be monopolizing the moonlit platform and spoiling the girls' fun."
"But since they're all here, you should move on quickly so they can go up and enjoy the view."
When they turned around and saw the person coming, everyone knelt down.
"Greetings, Your Highness. Your Highness, may you live forever."
The princess's Fengyi is noble and luxurious.
All the women in the yard had to bow down to him.
Nanping returned to his mother unhappily: "Mother, look at Uncle Four, he doesn't even pay any attention to me. His dog servants even dared to block my way!"
*** patted Nanping's little head lovingly: "Mother will make the decision for you."
However, even so, there was still no response from the pavilion.
