He is indeed a spoiled child.

The girl suddenly felt that it was meaningless, so she put away the hairpin and spoke in a nonchalant tone.

"Whatever you say, whatever you want."

She stared into her eyes, her tone subtle, as if containing a certain sense of recklessness, "If he thinks I'm not worthy because of this... then I will naturally let go, without any regrets."

Those who cannot identify with her will not feel sorry for giving up on her.

She can't let such jealousy hold her back, as she has a long way to go.

After she let go, Princess Yimin seemed to be stunned by her words. She bit her lip and asked, "If he hates you and abandons you... can you not care at all?"

Ruan Yuluan took a few steps back, lowered her head, and used a handkerchief to wipe the slight blood stain on the hairpin.

"The princess has grown up so much...but she still asks such stupid questions."

Realizing that her mind was despised, she couldn't help but widen her eyes: "You——"

However, the girl no longer had any interest in continuing to communicate with her. She put the hairpin back into her hair, glanced at her lightly, turned around and left.

Princess Yimin stood there in a daze for a few breaths before she ran out and saw Ruan Yuluan talking to her maid in the corridor from afar.

At this moment, her eyes and eyebrows became extremely gentle again, she lowered her eyebrows and eyes, and spoke in a soft and gentle voice.

"...Don't forget to ask for a peace amulet for Aunt Xi," she said with a smile, "This is an important matter, Aunt Xi takes it very seriously."

"Yes," Qiu Xiu replied with a smile, "To pray for a peace amulet, you need to copy the sutra. Madam is really good-tempered."

"..." The two of them talked and gradually walked away.

Princess Yimin suddenly felt that she had never understood this little concubine's daughter.

After returning home, it was getting dark, so Ruan Yuluan personally took the amulet and delivered it to Wanxiangxie.

Wanxiangxie is the place that Master Ruan specially allocated for Aunt Xi to have a quiet time during her pregnancy. It is located in the southwest corner of the garden, facing a pond. As soon as you enter the door, you can smell a rich floral fragrance.

The girl lowered her eyelashes and caught a glimpse of the lush tuberose flowers planted on both sides of the path.

The petals are a hazy purple, emitting a charming scent under the dim light of the lanterns.

Aunt Xi received her in the warm room, and the girl stretched out her fingertips and handed over the amulet.

Aunt Xi, who was wearing a water-red silk dress, took it, looked at it, sighed softly, and said with a smile: "Thank you so much, Fifth Lady."

A lot of things happened today, Ruan Yuluan didn't want to stay any longer and prepared to go back and rest early.

But Aunt Xi seemed to have something to say to her. While inviting her to drink tea, she started chatting about other topics.

She waited patiently for her to tell the truth.

"Ever since I got pregnant with this child..." Aunt Xi couldn't help herself. She brushed her fingertips across her belly and said in a low voice, "I often have nightmares, and I always feel vaguely that it's a boy."

All pregnant women in the inner house would think this way. After all, the status of a boy is higher than that of a concubine's daughter.

The girl raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled politely: "If a young man has children and becomes rich, I'm sure your status will rise as well."

This was originally an unintentional flattery, but Aunt Xi's brows darkened, she gently covered her belly, and her expression showed a little panic.

"But my wife said...if it's a boy, we should take him to the main courtyard to raise him."

This is also common. The lady is the legitimate mother of all the children in the mansion, and logically they should be raised by her.

But she disdained to care about concubines. The eldest son's biological mother, Concubine Xu, was favored, and she specifically asked the master to let her raise the child herself when she was six or seven years old, and then sent her to a school. Generally, the lady could not interfere in matters, so she gave up.

The current concubine Xi is from the main courtyard. If she gives birth to a little boy, the mistress will not stand idly by and will definitely take the child away to raise him.

Children all recognize people. When she is six or seven years old, how could she recognize Aunt Xi as her mother?

Ruan Yuluan sighed softly, but had no choice but to comfort the other person.

"My aunt is pregnant now, so you should take good care of yourself. It's not good to have too many worries."

After Aunt Xi confided her secrets to her, she seemed to feel a little relieved and nodded gently with a gentle expression.

It was getting late, so the girl got up and left, leaving the matter aside for the time being.
