"...That's more like it."

Princess Pingnan blushed and then lowered her head shyly.

I'm sure they both are thinking about having another child...just like themselves.

Jiang Zhao thought so in his heart.

After eating for a while at the banquet, many noble ladies came over with their ladies to socialize with Chen Zhining.

Chen Zhining had just finished her confinement not long ago, and since she was the prince's consort, few ladies dared to force her to drink. They simply served her tea instead of wine and treated her perfunctorily.

The ladies who came included the prime minister's wife, several marquises' wives, the wives of the Earl Zhonglie, the Marquis Wude, the Marquis Fushan, the Marquis Jingping, the Duke Lingguo... There were so many of them that Chen Zhining couldn't tell who was who.

I just felt that the Prime Minister's wife was very kind despite her old age, and the Duke's wife was very straightforward.

After all, Feicui is not with her now. When she comes back, she might be able to barely recognize her.

As they were chatting, they saw Zhou and Chen Bo coming over.

"Hey?"

Chen Zhining was also stunned when he saw Chen Bo coming.

He smiled at Chen Zhining, gentle and kind.

"The princess of the county."

Immediately, Chen Zhining quickly picked up two glasses of wine and handed them to them: "Mother, elder brother."

"You drink."

"it is good."

After the two of them raised their glasses and clinked them with Chen Zhining, Chen Zhining said with a smile.

"Mother and elder brother are quite quick."

"...Now my eldest brother should be registered under my mother's name, right?"

Otherwise, it would generally be against the rules for Chen Bo, an adopted son, to attend such a formal banquet.

Zhou smiled and said, "I went to the palace and told the Empress to register Chen Bo under my name, and also included him in the family tree."

"Chen Bo also went to Yongzhou this time... Naturally, our mother's family also made some efforts. Your maternal family also made a lot of efforts. They took a letter and sent it to His Majesty and the Queen."

"Your Majesty and the Queen Mother saw it and naturally agreed."

"From now on, whatever your eldest brother does will be justified."

"After that, he will be the eldest son of our Earl's Mansion!"

what? !

When the people around heard this, they immediately pricked up their ears.

Good man... I heard that Earl Yingwu had too many concubines, and his body was drained and weak.

In addition, the wounds from being beaten by the emperor before were festering and would not heal, and his health was getting worse and worse.

No matter how we try to repair it now, it’s too late to save it. I guess I don’t have much time left.

So, now that Zhou has brought her eldest son here, doesn't that mean... that the eldest son will inherit the family business? !

Then...what about the bastard Chen Yaozu? !

It is estimated that the illegitimate son born to Yun will have no chance of inheriting the family business.

When Chen Zhining heard this, he immediately smiled at Chen Bo and Zhou and said, "That's great, congratulations mother, congratulations elder brother!"

Chen Bo smiled faintly at Chen Zhining, and his face looked as gentle as jade.

"My Lady Princess, congratulations to you all."

Chen Zhining said, "By the way, mother, are we going to hold a big banquet later?"

"After all, my eldest brother is now registered under my mother's name and has been included in the clan's genealogy... I think the clan elders will come over when the time comes."

We have to deal with them too.

Zhou: "That's not necessary. After all, the Queen and His Majesty have already agreed. It doesn't matter whether we hold a banquet or not."

The overall situation has been decided, so there is no need to consider other people's opinions.

Even if the clan elders objected, what could they do? !

Anyway, her daughter is now the Princess of a County, and she has given birth to a legitimate son and a legitimate daughter.

The Princess and Zhou both had a plan in mind.

"..."

Zhou was smiling, but suddenly she started crying again, "...Alas, speaking of your father, his health was really not very good during the New Year."

"Otherwise, he would have to go to the palace on the Little New Year and New Year's Eve to pay his respects to His Majesty and the Empress."

"But now... he has no chance to meet His Majesty and the Queen... he is lying at home, what should we do?!"

Chen Zhining also pretended to shed tears.

"...After that, I will go back to the Bo Mansion to visit my father."

"...Exactly. When your father is dying, you will naturally be asked to go back to see him."

Zhou nodded, patted Chen Zhining's hand, and cried, "Oh, my dear daughter, you really don't have that blessing."

“When your father was still strong, he didn’t love you very much.

Now that you've married into the palace, your father finally loves you...but in the end, your father is almost dead, alas."

"It's all my fault. I had to give him a concubine. It's really......!"

When the ladies nearby saw her crying, they immediately surrounded her. At this time, they pretended not to know Earl Yingwu's private affairs and asked with concern.

"This...didn't they say that Master was fine before? How come he suddenly became so ill?"

"That's right. When the princess was just pregnant, I saw the marquis showing off. How come... the child was born just a few months ago, and the marquis Yingwu suddenly became unwell."

"Oh, don't mention it..."

Zhou wiped her tears, "Of course it's all my fault, it's all my fault!"

"I know my husband likes beautiful women, so in order to please him, I can only stuff a few beautiful concubines into his room..."

"But I didn't expect that he had just been punished by His Majesty and was confined to his room for a period of time... He was injured at the time, and being confined for such a long time, coupled with his injuries, was nothing to do, so he just played with a few concubines to relieve his boredom.

What a result! This time, my body has been completely depleted!"

"This... is really too absurd. If you and your sisters weren't close friends, I would never say such a shameful thing."

"..."

After hearing this, look at Zhou's cowardly look.

This made the noble ladies nearby look down on him.

They looked down on him and felt sorry for him, "...Oh, my dear sister, you have nothing to do, why do you want to give him a concubine?!"

"I think you were spoiled by this man! Otherwise, how could he become like this?!"

"That's right, if you didn't spoil him, how could he be dying like this now!!!"

"...Oh, forget it, forget it. Let's not talk about it. This Lord Yingwu is not a good person. If he dies, he dies."
