Rebirth: Ordinary Life and Living

Chapter 117 Fighting for the Child

Li Yingying was silent for a moment, then continued to greet everyone calmly and take care of all funeral affairs, looking like the mistress of the house. There was also a hint of sadness on her face, which made everyone think that it was not easy for this concubine, who had to bid farewell to the princess with great pain and now supported Prince Yan'an.

She is truly qualified to be a concubine, and exudes the air of a noble family in every way, and truly deserves the title of Prince Yan'an's concubine.

The other concubines were very submissive behind Li Yingying.

No one dared to be presumptuous, and everyone followed the lead of Concubine Li Yingying, which left a very good impression on everyone.

The only person who came from the 銆 family was 銆 Tianyu, and the rest were in Cangdu City and it was inconvenient for them to leave the city.

Everyone knew tacitly why Tianyu was the only one who came to the family. Now the situation was on the verge of breaking out. Everyone speculated that if the emperor was not critically ill, the situation would not be as peaceful as it is now, considering the emperor's last face.

Prince Yan'an returned to the funeral and completed the funeral in a decent manner. Because Tianyu repeatedly requested in private that he did not want to see Zhou Xinyue, Zhou Xinyue kept avoiding Tianyu and did not dare to come to the funeral.

The funeral was finally over, and Yaqin was finally buried in a picturesque place, a Feng Shui treasure land.

The guests left one after another until the last guest, Tianyu, left. King Yan'an personally saw him off and walked him to the city gate.

Tian Yu's temples were gray, and his weather-beaten face looked lifeless. He looked at Prince Yan'an with lifeless eyes, patted his shoulder with his hand, then looked down at the child with tears in his eyes.

Without saying a word, the old hands carefully touched the baby's face, and then he climbed onto the horse.

He tightened the reins, the horse raised its legs and neighed, Tianyu rode on the horse's back, turned sideways to look at the child for the last time, whipped the horse and left.

Watching the departure of Tianyu, King Jin Yourong of Yan'an was overwhelmed with emotions. The child suddenly burst into tears, perhaps knowing that he would never have the chance to see his grandfather Tianyu again after he left in the distance.

Jin Yourong held the crying child and watched Tianyu's back until he disappeared in the distance.

The wet nurse, who had been waiting for a long time, came and took the child but couldn't coax him into submission, not even by singing nursery rhymes.

The child's crying was heartbreaking. Even after changing four wet nurses, it still didn't work to soothe him. His voice became hoarse from crying.

After finally arriving at the mansion, the wet nurses were extremely anxious, and Kim Woo-young was even more worried. The child's cry was still heartbreaking.

Concubine Li Yingying and a group of concubines surrounded Jin Yourong, and everyone tried to coax him in various ways but to no avail.

Especially when Li Yingying held the child in her arms, the child cried even louder, leaving everyone at a loss as to what to do.

Jin Yourong's forehead was covered with sweat. He was afraid that the child was sick, so he invited three doctors to see the child. They all concluded that there was nothing serious with the child. If there was nothing serious, then why was the child crying like this?

At this time, Zhou Xinyue trotted in from outside the door. There was a little sweat on her forehead. She must have rushed here in a hurry.

Zhou Xinyue's face was slightly pale, her lips were bloodless, she was dressed in white, without any makeup, clean and tidy, with her hair casually tied behind her, she looked like a girl next door. Her stunning beauty made the concubines present who were carefully dressed up look slightly inferior.

Jin Yourong hurriedly said: "You should have a good rest and shouldn't have rushed here. Your health is more important!"

Zhou Xinyue hurriedly explained: "Give the child to me first, the child's voice has become hoarse from crying."

Jin Yourong hurriedly gave the child to her. Miraculously, the child slowly stopped crying as soon as he was in Zhou Xinyue's arms.

The child sometimes pouted his mouth, frowned slightly, and sobbed a few times.

Zhou Xinyue sang nursery rhymes softly to lull him to sleep.

"Little baby, go to sleep. The blue sky is quiet, the little boat is rocking gently, the birds are not flying or singing, little baby, have a good sleep."

After Zhou Xinyue finished singing the nursery rhyme to lull the child to sleep, the child slept very soundly.

No one present dared to make a sound, for fear of waking the child.

Jin Yourong sighed as he looked at the child sleeping peacefully.

When he looked at Zhou Xinyue, his eyes became as gentle as water.

Li Yingying walked over and said gently: "Since you have coaxed the child, give the child to me!"

Zhou Xinyue instantly raised her eyes to look at her, her eyes were sharp, she hurriedly hugged the child tightly and stepped back and said: "No, I can't give you the child."

Li Yingying was instantly angry, but she adjusted herself immediately and said with a smile: "Miss, even though you are the sister of the princess, you are not from the Yan'an Palace after all. I am the concubine of the Yan'an Palace. Now that the princess is gone, I am naturally the child's nominal mother, and they are the concubines. So many people love him, what are you worried about? Besides, you have no reason to hold the child back from us."

Zhou Xinyue knew she was in the wrong, but she still gritted her teeth and refused to give him the child. She said, "That's right. If you ask me for the child in the name of Yan'an Palace, I really have no reason not to give him the child. But the child is still young and shy. I am worried about you taking care of him."

Another woman stood up. Her pair of phoenix eyes looked particularly shrewd. She said, "My name is Fu, and my given name is Huan. Everyone likes to call me Lady Fu. Miss, we understand that you love the child, but after all, you are not the child's nominal mother. You naturally cannot detain the child. This child will be raised under the name of our sister Li Fei in the future. That is the right thing to do!"

The women behind all seconded the idea, agreeing with Fu Huan's statement. Looking at her sharp eyes, thin lips with tiger teeth, and her eloquent appearance, it was obvious that she was not easy to deal with.

Zhou Xinyue looked at Li Yingying again. Although she was not wearing any jewelry on her head, her white hands with red nails and her almond-shaped eyes that occasionally looked at Fu Huan made her look extremely hypocritical even though she was wearing plain white clothes.

Zhou Xinyue said with a look of disdain: "There is nothing we can do. The child only recognizes me and doesn't want you. Who can I blame? What if I give the child to you and the child cries like this and something goes wrong? Can you be responsible? This is the first child born in the Yan'an Palace. If anything happens to the child, you, hum, I'm afraid ten lives won't be enough to compensate! I... aunt, no, my sister gave birth to a child with all her strength, so I naturally have to protect him. Besides, the prince hasn't spoken yet, so it's not your turn to command me."

Fu Huan looked very embarrassed. She took two quick steps towards Zhou Xinyue and said angrily, "How dare you say that to me..."

Zhou Xinyue raised her chin and squinted at her and said, "What? Did I say something wrong? Could it be that your status in this palace is higher than that of the prince? Do you need to make arrangements for me?"

Fu Huan hurriedly looked at Prince Yan'an who had been silent at the side, and explained: "Your Highness, this is not what I meant. I would never dare to have such an idea. It was Miss who framed me. How dare I do that, Your Highness..."

Prince Yan'an stood up from his chair and said, "I thought the palace had changed its name. You treated the girl like this in front of me. How can this be tolerated in the future?"

Fu Huan's whole body froze, and she knelt down hurriedly and said, "No, I didn't mean it. I just wanted the young lady to rest and didn't want her to work too hard. Please understand, Your Majesty."
