Xiao Yunxi smiled faintly and asked, "Do you not believe me, or do you not want to have a baby?"
She looked at Cuiwei and Hongyu and said in a deep voice: "The Xiao family motto is 'Don't lie'. The promise I made to you will not change."
Hongyu kowtowed and said, who doesn’t want to have children of their own?
But she was afraid that a pie would fall from the sky for no reason.
What's more, he had contradicted Xiao Yunxi before, so Wang Xiang wanted to compete with her.
"Thank you, Princess! I am narrow-minded and think everything is going too smoothly. I can't believe that I am so lucky."
"Thank you, Princess!" Cuiwei also knelt down. With the princess' words, she felt relieved.
Xiao Yunxi smiled faintly, "I understand that you have concerns, but like I said before, the road is given to you, how to walk and to what extent, it depends on you."
"Yes."
A few days later, Lu Jingting came to Feiyu Pavilion. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw a woman with delicate features and a slender figure sitting on a stone bench cracking walnuts.
Seeing Lu Jingting coming in, Cuiwei stood up and saluted calmly, "I greet the prince."
Another maid?
Lu Jingting frowned and looked at Cuiwei. This was another concubine. What was her name?
"My maid Cuiwei."
Lu Jingting coughed awkwardly, "What are you doing here?"
"My Lord, the farm has sent us some freshly harvested walnuts. The princess likes them very much. I am peeling them now."
"Why don't you let the slaves peel it?"
"Sir, the princess is your legal wife, and it is my duty to serve her."
"Then isn't it your duty to serve me?" Lu Jingting raised his eyebrows.
"My Lord, I am stupid and plain-looking, so I dare not disrespect you."
Lu Jingting touched his nose. Blasphemy?
"Where is the princess?" He walked forward and sat on the stone bench.
Cuiwei immediately took two steps back and said, "My Lord, the princess is taking a nap."
Her action of taking two steps back made Lu Jingting's eyelids jump, and he grabbed her hand, "Why, are you afraid that I will eat you?"
Cuiwei paused, and without raising her head, she said, "This is Feiyu Pavilion, please respect yourself, my lord."
After saying that, he took advantage of Lu Jingting's distracted moment, struggled hard to break free, turned around and ran away.
Lu Jingting twirled his fingers, thinking of the touch just now, then looked up at the room with closed doors and windows, then stood up and left.
Xiao Yunxi had a nice nap and was in a good mood. She was complaining about the fat koi while continuing to scatter food.
"Princess," Chunxiao walked forward and said disdainfully, "The prince just went to Tingxuexuan... and favored Cuiwei..."
Xia He made a "Puh" sound, "Indulging in promiscuity in broad daylight brings ruin to the family tradition!"
Xiao Yunxi nodded, not surprised at all.
Lu Jingting is a fool and a man without moral principles.
"Send a bowl of pregnancy-maintaining medicine over, and give the hairpins that I had someone make to them both."
"Mother, my son is back." Lu Zhan received praise from Grand Tutor Xiao today and ran in happily.
"You're in such a hurry. What are you thinking?" Xiao Yunxi pretended to be angry and sulked.
"Mother, Grand Tutor Xiao praised me today, saying that I am 'a teachable child'!" Lu Zhan blinked his bright eyes and looked at Xiao Yunxi expectantly.
Xiao Yunxi didn't hold back and chuckled, "Really? Grandfather doesn't praise people easily, which shows that you are really good."
Lu Zhan was even happier, "Mother, is what you said true?"
Xiao Yunxi nodded, "Yes, even your second uncle has never received any praise since he was a child!"
Lu Zhan widened his eyes in surprise and patted his chest, "Mother, I will definitely continue to work hard!"
Looking at Lu Zhan's childish movements, Xiao Yunxi nodded with satisfaction, "Be cautious and keep up the good work!"
"Have some snacks first, then follow me to pay respects to the old lady and the princess."
"Yes!"
At the entrance of Shou'an Hall, I ran into Lu Ze.
"I have met my mother and brother."
After Hu Weian's instruction, Lu Ze looked much more stable and honest, but his eyes were gloomy and he lacked the liveliness and innocence of a teenager.
Xiao Yunxi nodded, said nothing, and led the way in.
Lu Zhan also nodded to Lu Ze, "Brother."
In Shou'an Hall, Lu Yuan sat on a chair in an orderly manner. When he saw Xiao Yunxi and her group coming in, he immediately stood up and saluted, "Meet mother and two brothers."
Xiao Yunxi called out softly, and then took Lu Zhan and Lu Ze to pay their respects to the old lady and the princess.
For a moment, Shou'an Hall was unusually harmonious.
Both Lu Ze and Lu Yuan were much quieter and more well-behaved than before.
The old lady looked at the three beautiful children and praised them highly, "Great! Our children are great!"
"Let's not talk about Zhan'er. With the guidance of Grand Tutor Xiao and Young Master Xiao, he is becoming more and more like a noble man. Mr. Hu and Nanny Wei are also doing their best. It seems that Ze'er and Yuan'er have become like the daughters of noble families."
Princess Ruan also echoed the voice.
Xiao Yunxi did not respond because she saw the flash of disdain and hidden hatred in Lu Ze and Lu Yuan's eyes.
Both Hu Weian and Nanny Wei like corporal punishment, and I'm afraid they have been beaten a lot.
The current being well-behaved and sensible is nothing but an illusion.
"Madam, Hongyu and Cuiwei have both been favored by the emperor for some time, and they have been taking the medicine for pregnancy. I think there will be good news soon. By then, you will have more great-grandchildren."
The old lady smiled very kindly, "This is a good thing."
Although they were not legitimate sons or daughters, Ruan was still happy. Having many sons and grandchildren was a blessing after all.
At this moment, Lin Wan'er walked in with a plate of watermelon, her face looking gloomy.
Apparently, she had heard the conversation just now, and Xiao Yunxi continued to drink tea indifferently.
"We are a family chatting, what are you doing here?" The old lady couldn't hide her disgust when she saw her.
"Just take a good rest if you're not feeling well. It's too unlucky to look like you're terminally ill." Ruan also didn't like the way Lin Wan'er looked dead.
Lu Ze and Lu Yuan saw that their great-grandmother and grandmother were blaming their mother, but they could only feel anxious in their hearts and no one dared to say anything.
Lin Wan'er put the watermelon down and smiled timidly, "Today's watermelon is very fresh, so Wan'er wanted to bring it to quench everyone's thirst."
The old lady waved her hand expressionlessly, "You can go down."
Lin Wan'er lowered her head awkwardly and glanced at Lu Ze and Lu Yuan, only to see that neither of them dared to look at her.
He quickly concealed the bitterness in his heart, leaned over and stepped back.
Back in the room, she was panicking.
Not only did Lu Jingting not give her the position of legal wife, but now even his promise of not having other women is no longer valid?
Hongyu was once Lu Jingting's personal maid, and could be considered the prince's childhood sweetheart.
Now they have Xiao Yunxi as their backer. If they have a child in the future...will Lu Ze and Lu Yuan still have a place to stand?
And there is Cuiwei, whose eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Xiyu. I'm afraid she will be more favored by the prince.
With my lovely wife in front and my beautiful concubine behind, is there still a place for me in the prince’s heart?
