Liu Yueru couldn't bear it and hugged him again: "Let me do it."

"It's a day off today. If Hua Ge'er has nothing to do, just leave him here with me. The prince will come to take him back to the palace later." Liu Yueru said in a clear voice.

Xie Jingrui watched Xie Wenhua and Liu Yuerru being so intimate, and his eyes were fixed on the face of Song Yiyan, who was well-built.

These two little guys are really becoming more and more alike, and the doubts in my heart are infinitely magnified.

"I have something to ask Mrs. Song. May I have a moment to talk?" Xie Jingrui glanced at Xie Wenhua in her arms and asked in a calm voice.

Liu Yueru understood.

She asked Mother Yan to call a doctor, and after carrying him into her room and comforting him, she went aside to talk to Xie Jingrui.

"I also have something to ask. I wonder what Your Majesty wants to say?" Liu Yueru spoke first.

In the morning light, Liu Yueru's skin was as white as fat and her beauty made Xie Jingrui stunned for a moment.

"Your Highness?" Liu Yueru called out with a slightly frowned brow.

Xie Jingrui came back to his senses and asked in a hoarse voice, "I wonder when is Brother Yan's birthday?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Liu Yueru's cold eyes.

Xie Jingrui looked away guiltily and quickly changed the subject: "Hua Ge'er asked me to ask. He wanted to prepare a surprise for Yan Ge'er on his birthday."

"Yan'er's birthday is June 24th of the Qingyuan year. He was born prematurely. He was very small when he was born. After being raised for a month, he was still as big as a kitten." When Liu Yueru talked about the child, the light in her eyes dimmed a lot.

Xie Jingrui secretly calculated in his mind. He also asked the midwife during this period of time. A baby born at one month old in an ordinary family should weigh around five or six kilograms, and those who eat well can weigh around eight or nine kilograms.

Although Hua Ge'er was born prematurely, he weighed only a little over two kilograms when he was brought back to the palace, and was pitifully small.

At that time, I had just become a father, and I just confirmed that the child was my own, and never thought about anything else.

Until Song Yiyan appeared in her world, she always felt inexplicably close to him.

Xie Jingrui collected his thoughts, looked at Liu Yueru and asked, "What did Madam Song want to say to me just now?"

"This may sound a bit abrupt, but just now when I saw the princess approaching Hua Ge'er, his body couldn't help but tremble. Hua Ge'er also had this happen once before in the Marquis' Mansion. This is a natural emergency response of the body. Did Hua Ge'er experience something in the princess' mansion that caused him to have such a big reaction to his mother's approach?" Liu Yueru asked implicitly.

Xie Jingrui narrowed his eyes slightly. In the past, he often went out, and Hua Ge'er grew up with Liu Yunni.

Apart from being well-behaved and aloof around Liu Yunni, he didn't find anything wrong with Hua Ge'er.

"Maybe his mother likes to force him to study, and over time he has developed this reaction." Xie Jingrui frowned slightly.

Liu Yueru shook her head: "Your Highness should pay more attention to the child's situation. Hua Ge'er is quite lively by nature. He will control his temper. There must be something in the palace that scares him."

Xie Jingrui's pupils suddenly tightened, and he stood up to say goodbye: "Brother Hua, please trouble Madam Song first, I will come back later."

After Liu Yunni was locked up back in Shuyayuan, the disguised dignity on her face disappeared completely.

She angrily pulled off all the pearl hairpins on her head and threw them aside.

Looking at herself in the bronze mirror, she realized that she could never compare to Liu Yueru's beauty. She raised her hand, picked up a rouge box, and smashed it hard.

"Bang!" A big hole was smashed in the middle of the bronze mirror.

Mother Lai stepped forward and served carefully: "Princess, why do you have to argue with a woman who is not as good as you?"

"Although Liu Yueru is the legitimate daughter of the Liu family, so what? The family she married into is not as high as yours. Now the son of Zhennan Marquis has been imprisoned for favoring his concubine over his wife. I heard that Madam Song is not doing well either. The legitimate son under her name has a bad reputation outside. Now the only one who can be regarded as presentable is Song Yiyan."

"It's not worth it to ruin your body because of a concubine like her."

The reason why Lai Mama can serve by Liu Yunni's side is because she has a clever tongue.

Just a few words dissipated most of Liu Yunni's anger.

Seeing that her face was a little more amiable, Lai Ma continued to persuade her, "Although the young master is now wild and not very sensible, he is still afraid of you from the bottom of his heart. The prince is not in the palace all year round. If you want to teach him a lesson, don't you have many opportunities to vent your anger?"

Liu Yunni then showed a hint of smile on her face: "It's still my mother who is thoughtful."

She took a handful of silver from the box and put it into Lai Mama's hand.

Mother Lai took it with a smile on her face, her mouth looking as if it was filled with honey.

"When the time comes, you should work hard to consummate the marriage with the prince and give him a child. Then the prince's heart will be entirely on you. By then, how can there be any place for the young master in the palace?"

Mother Lai placed her hand on her neck and made an effacing gesture.

Liu Yunni was overjoyed: "Thank you for your good words, Mother Lai. I will definitely get some benefits from you when the time comes."

Liu Yunni said this and took out a handful of silver and gave it to her.

Mother Lai knelt down happily and kowtowed to accept the favor.

"Get up." Liu Yunni helped Lai Mama up. She was her mother's dowry, and the fact that she could live safely in the palace was inseparable from Lai Mama's help.

Therefore, Liu Yunni also particularly values ​​Lai Mama and asks her to handle many of her personal matters.

"Hmph, so what if Liu Yueru is pretty and has a good family background? She is still not as good as a concubine's daughter like me!" Liu Yunni raised her hand and touched her delicate cheek.

She has such a beautiful appearance, but it's a pity that she has remained a virgin all these years in order to wait for the prince.

If I still can’t wait for the prince in a few years, I’m afraid I’ll be too old and ugly, and the prince will not care about me anymore.

"Mother Lai, clean up this matter and prepare a good meal for me tonight. When the prince comes back, tell him that I have something to say to him."

Liu Yunni's pair of peach blossom eyes were full of calculations.

Mother Lai was delighted and naturally knew what Liu Yunni wanted to do. She happily agreed: "Leave this matter to the old servant, and the princess just needs to dress herself up."

Whenever Liu Yunni thought of Xie Jingrui's tall stature and handsome face, her face would unconsciously turn red.

She suddenly thought of something: "If the prince doesn't come, you can tell him that I'm looking for him because of Hua Ge'er's birth. The prince will definitely come after hearing that."

"Yes." Mother Lai wrote down everything.

Liu Yunni happily asked people to wash her and even asked the servants to change the bedding on her bed into a happy color.

Xie Jingrui hurried back home and walked towards Shuyayuan with big strides.

The servants were talking about this, and they looked at Xie Jingrui with somewhat different expressions.

When Mother Lai saw Xie Jingrui coming to Shuya Courtyard on his own initiative, she was stunned for a moment, but soon happily welcomed him into the courtyard: "Your Majesty, the princess is still washing up, please wait a moment."

The words fell.

Mother Lai asked the servants to serve the dishes: "Your Highness, please eat something first."

Xie Jingrui's eyes fell sharply on the food...
