"I heard that you sent a baby boy to the village?"

At the dinner table, Pei Chongfang revealed the incident carelessly.

For a moment, whether it was Pei Jingyuan or Pei Anlin, or Princess Dachang and Old General Pei, the gazes of the four of them all looked at Gu Ning like a dazzling sunlight.

"Baby boy?"

"When did you have your baby?"

"Ouch!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you still want your sister's Qingyu?"

Pei Chongfang who spoke the second sentence was hit hard on the head by Pei Anlin.

Soon, Pei Anlin looked at Gu Ning, his dark face was full of uneasiness and worry.

"Ning'er, what's going on?"

Gu Ning wrote lightly: "I went shopping with Chu Shiling in the south of the city today, and I saw Ban Xia, the maid beside Gu Qingqiu. He was still talking about stealing dragons and turning phoenixes. The princess gave birth to the little grandson, and the baby boy is no longer needed. I need to find a place to dispose of him. I thought, this is also a small life, and I can't just watch He died, so Chunyu sent him to Zhuangzi."

The eldest princess raised her eyelids meaningfully: "It's just that simple?"

"Isn't this..." Gu Ning tenderly leaned against the eldest princess, "Don't you think there might be other uses for keeping him!"

"Do you want to use him to threaten Gu Qingqiu? Or confuse the prince's bloodline?" As soon as the eldest princess asked two questions, everyone at the table fell silent.

Old General Pei wanted to smooth things over: "Ning'er is innocent, how could he do such things?"

"You underestimated her..."

"That's it!" Gu Ning said angrily, "How could grandma think of me like that?"

The eldest princess smiled lightly and shook her head: "Okay, you can do whatever you want, and I will take care of it for you, and I will never let others bully you."

Gu Ning hugged the eldest princess' arm with a smile, and said softly: "I knew you were the best."

Old General Pei coughed a few times and reminded: "Who is it that firmly believes in you?"

"It's my grandfather!" Gu Ning immediately said coquettishly, "My grandfather also treats me the best!"

Seeing the distorted looks of the grandparents and grandchildren, Pei Chongfang rubbed his arms, and said in disgust: "A few sweet words have coaxed you, you are still my wise and powerful..."

"Eat your meal!"

Pei Anlin shuddered again, hitting him on the head.

Gu Ning blinked at him, showing a gloating smile.

However, after everyone left, the Eldest Princess stopped her alone.

"Ning'er, stay here, I have something to tell you."

Gu Ning's heart skipped a beat, but he stayed obediently: "Grandma, what do you want to say?"

"It's about you and Xie Yan." The eldest princess drank a cup of tea slowly, and her eyes fell on Gu Ning's face, "You were with Xie Yan last night."

This is a declarative sentence, not an interrogative sentence.

Gu Ning immediately understood that the cover-up he had done had no effect on the Eldest Princess.

"I..." Gu Ning lowered his head, his eyes rolled quickly, trying to find an excuse.

But the next moment, the words spoken from the eldest princess's mouth made Gu Ning completely extinguish this thought.

"Hide the red marks on the base of your ears." The Eldest Princess said quietly, "The marks on your neck are covered, but those red marks on the base of your ears..."

When Gu Ning heard this, he wished he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

"I knew I was wrong."

"To the depths of love, love between a man and a woman, this is the norm of human relations, what's wrong?" The eldest princess waved her hand, "I watched that child Xie Yan grow up, since he recognized you, I will never let you down, but you have to be careful not to get pregnant before marriage."

"I see." Gu Ning lowered his head, his voice was like a mosquito.

The Eldest Princess chuckled lightly: "But I can think so. Your grandfather and uncle are not so enlightened. You still have to do a good job of covering up in the future, and remember not to show your feet in front of them."

Seeing that Gu Ning wanted to drill his head into the ground, the eldest princess patted her on the shoulder: "Clean up, the princess gave birth to a boy, we should go and see."

Gu Ning responded and quickly followed the eldest princess.

……

In the East Palace, there was an endless stream of gifts and guests coming and going.

The crown princess gave birth to the emperor's grandson, which was naturally a great joy. In addition, two of the three adult princes disappeared, and the only remaining prince, Chu Yunyi, was the prince. No matter who looked at it, this was a surefire future emperor.

The officials who wanted to curry favor with Chu Yunyi were like crucian carp crossing the river, holding gifts one by one, wishing to put all their wealth on Chu Yunyi, trying to get a position as the future emperor's confidant.

The crown prince and the little emperor's grandson became their primary objects of curry favor.

If they came to visit with presents on weekdays, they might arouse the emperor's suspicion. They might be decapitated by the shadow guards in the hands of the emperor before the crown prince ascended the throne. What better excuse than coming to congratulate the prince on the birth of a grandson.

Everyone stepped forward one after another, and the flattery on their faces almost turned into substance.

Seeing the behavior of these people, Chu Yunyi suppressed the disgust in his heart, and dealt with the guests passing by with a patterned gentle smile.

The female guests went to another palace to meet the Crown Princess.

Gu Qingqiu was sitting on the bed. She had just given birth to a child the day before yesterday, and she had exhausted all her energy for this child. Just two days of cultivation was not enough for her body.

The Empress Dowager wanted her to come out with her children today and talk to these wives and ladies.

"I really don't know what that old man is thinking! Since I am already a princess, why should I win them over? Could it be that the emperor will let those princes who are not as tall as the dragon chair ascend the throne?"

Gu Qingqiu cursed fiercely, the hatred in his eyes was so strong that Ban Xia shuddered.

At this time, footsteps sounded outside the door, and all the maids knelt down and saluted loudly: "See the empress dowager!"

Hearing this, all the hatred in Gu Qingqiu's eyes faded away, she looked out eagerly, and saw the Queen Mother approaching with the child in her arms, she didn't care about her injured body, she got out of bed and wanted to pick up the child.

But the Queen Mother's light words forced her to go back to bed.

"The concubine has just given birth, so she can't get out of bed and walk around." The queen mother said indifferently, "Cheng'er should be handed over to Ai's family, so that you won't hurt him if your hands are unsteady."

Immortal!

Gu Qingqiu scolded the queen mother fiercely in his heart, wishing that the queen mother would be divided into five horses.

She was pregnant in October, and she couldn't even hug the child born after all the hard work!

"Gu Qingqiu, don't forget, who saved the position of princess concubine for you?" The queen mother scolded in a low voice, "The eldest princess and the others will come here later, you'd better dress up for the Ai family! They have seen the clues, the Ai family will not spare you!"

The empress dowager's reprimand undoubtedly fueled the anger in Gu Qingqiu's heart.

She hated the empress dowager, but she couldn't show it at this moment.

"Okay." Gu Qingqiu lowered his head and choked up, "I just want to be hugged."

The queen mother gave her a disgusted look, but she still asked Qing Gu to carry the child to Gu Qingqiu's side.

It's just that when Gu Qingqiu was about to reach out his hand, Qing Gu held the child a little further away.

"If the Ai family allows you to take a look at Cheng'er, you should be satisfied." The queen mother said disgustedly, "You don't even think about who your biological parents are? If not..."

If it wasn't for Chu Yunyi's infertility, she would never have allowed the child in Gu Qingqiu's womb to be born!

Hearing this, Gu Qingqiu seemed to have exhausted all her strength, she lowered her head and said nothing.

Women's talking and laughing gradually resounded outside, the queen mother glared at Gu Qingqiu coldly, and Gu Qingqiu immediately wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

At this time, Qing Gu also put the child in the cradle beside her.

Looking at the child, Gu Qingqiu regained motivation, and a gentle smile full of mother's love appeared on her face.

The wives headed by the eldest princess all walked to the door. The sleeping hall was huge, but only six people including the eldest princess and Mrs. Huang could enter the bedroom.

"This is the little emperor's grandson." The eldest princess looked at the white and tender child who was just three days old, and sincerely praised, "You look really good."

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager laughed and said, "It's only been three days, so what can you tell?"

As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, the others began to praise her.

"Look at this white and tender skin, and the high bridge of the nose. I know that in the future, he will be as handsome and handsome as His Royal Highness, and I don't know how many girls' hearts he will take away in the future."

"Yes! This appearance is very similar to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The queen mother was very happy to hear everyone's flattery.

But they all tacitly did not mention Gu Qingqiu, they all knew what status Gu Qingqiu had in the Queen Mother.

Gu Qingqiu lowered his head, gently stroking the child's face with his fingers, with a gentle smile on her lips, as if she didn't care about these people's indifference.

The eldest princess and the queen mother were sitting aside, talking, but her peripheral vision was always on Gu Qingqiu.

I wonder if she can make up her mind after this humiliation?

People in the sleeping hall came and went, and the sleeping hall was not completely clean until the palace door was locked in the evening.

Ban Xia knelt in front of the bed, looked at Gu Qingqiu who was holding the child in his arms and refused to let go, his eyes turned red immediately: "The empress dowager said, let Qinggu take the child to her... If you want to see the child, you can wait until the month is out." After that, you can sit there every ten days."

Gu Qingqiu laughed softly: "She really dares to think about it! When will the child I give birth get her turn to dictate?"

In her eyes, killing intent was brewing.

Ban Xia felt uncomfortable seeing Gu Qingqiu like this.

But that was the Empress Dowager, let alone Gu Qingqiu, even Chu Yunyi had to obey her words.

When Ban Xia was thinking about how to persuade Gu Qingqiu, she saw Gu Qingqiu raised his hand and put the child in her arms: "Take it away."

Ban Xia was taken aback, and nodded quickly.

But when she left, she saw Gu Qingqiu took out a small porcelain bottle from the interlayer of the dressing case.

In an instant, Ban Xia's body froze.

Gu Qingqiu looked back, and gave her a gentle smile: "Tell me, if I kill the queen mother... will Cheng'er be able to come back to me?"
