Concubine Ru specially packed up today and found the single-sided golden magpie hairpin that she hadn't worn for a long time. It was a gift from the emperor when she was first pregnant.

In the blink of an eye, she was going to be a mother again. Rupin could not contain her joy. The moment she put on the hairpin, she felt as if she had returned to the time when she first became a mother.

"Zi Han, do you think I'm this beautiful?" Rupin said to the mirror.

"You are very beautiful, Madam. You are graceful, elegant and noble." Zi Han said with a smile

Rupin couldn't help but raise her lips, looking left and right in the bronze mirror. "Okay, that's it. I can't wait to go pick up the little prince!"

"Okay." Zi Han responded.

Concubine Ru got on the sedan chair and went to Chengping Palace.

Taiping Palace

Zuo Wenyi was still resting on the bed, with lochia coming out from her body. She pouted and said, "When will this end? I never told you that you would bleed so much after giving birth..."

The little palace maid Liu'er said, "My lady, the imperial physician has prescribed a blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing decoction for you, saying that it will help to expel all the impurities in your body!"

"Well, where's the child? I haven't seen the child yet! Bring him to me and let me see him!" Zuo Wenyi asked

Liu Er retreated and said, "Yes, I will go right away."

However, after a while, Liu'er returned empty-handed. Zuo Wenyi asked in confusion, "Where's the child? Why are you alone?"

Liu Er replied weakly, "The nurse said that the child just fell asleep. If I pick him up now, he might wake up again..."

Zuo Wenyi exclaimed in surprise, then said, "Ah? Never mind, the child's sleep is more important. He is my son after all, and I will come to see him many times in the future!"

The little palace maid followed up and said, "Yes, young lady, you are weak now and it is inconvenient for you to move around. If the little prince is resting and you can't bring him over in a few days, you can go and see him directly!"

"Yes, for me now, the most important thing is to take good care of my health!" Zuo Wenyi nodded and said

Liu Er said, "Yes, young lady, I will go and bring you the medicine."

Zuo Wenyi waved her hand and said, "Go ahead."

As Liu Er retreated, she heard a voice outside the door saying, "Empress Ru has arrived!"

When Zuo Wenyi heard that it was Concubine Ru who came, she sat up quickly. Concubine Ru had always taken good care of her. She must have brought her a lot of supplements this time so that she could recover sooner!

Ling Xiangxiang, who lived in Chengping Palace with her, did not go out to greet Concubine Ru when she heard that she was coming, because Ling Xiangxiang knew in her heart that Concubine Ru was not coming to see her anyway.

Concubine Ru pushed open the door and came to the inner hall, where she saw Zuo Wenyi half leaning on the bed.

"I pay my respects to Concubine Ru..." Zuo Wenyi said as she was about to stand up.

Rupin quickly stopped Zuo Wenyi and said, "You, you just gave birth to a child, why are you still going through these meaningless formalities with me! Lie down properly!"

Zuo Wenyi smiled and said, "Yes..."

"I have brought you a lot of supplements this time. You just gave birth and your body is weak. It is time for you to replenish your body!" Concubine Ru ordered the palace servants to put all the things they brought on the table.

Zuo Wenyi stared at the table with bright eyes, which was piled with gifts... As expected, she was right, this Concubine Ru came to give her good things!

"Thank you very much for your concern!" Zuo Wenyi said gratefully

"Why are you being so polite? Where's the child? Bring him here for me to see!" Rupin looked around and said

"The child is sleeping in the warm room. Come to think of it, I haven't seen him yet!" Zuo Wenyi said with emotion

Rupin said, "Why don't you bring him here and let him have some fun! Children sleep so much during the day, so they won't sleep well at night. Hurry and bring him here, so we can play with him!"

Zuo Wenyi had never given birth to a child, so when she heard what Rupin said, she immediately ordered someone to pick up the baby.

Liu'er came in with the medicine, and the wet nurse came in with the child right after.

Zuo Wenyi had no intention of taking medicine at the moment, her mind and eyes were filled with her precious son!

"Oh, so cute, so white and chubby!" Zuo Wenyi looked at her child and liked him more and more.

"These eyes look a lot like yours, Zuo Changzai!" Rupin said

"Really? Little darling, smile for Concubine Ru!" Zuo Wenyi teased the baby in the cradle, trying to please Concubine Ru.

"Calling you mother is too strange! Come on, little prince, call me mother~ Has the little prince been named yet?" Concubine Ru asked

At this moment, Zuo Wenyi had not realized anything was wrong and still thought that Concubine Ru treated her child as her own.

"Yes, the emperor took it himself, Chenyou!"

After hearing this, Rupin praised, "Chenyou! Great, Chenyou, God bless you, may you have boundless blessings! What a good name!"

Rupin leaned over and said to the child, "Little Youyou, come and smile for your mother~"

"Yes, baby, give your mother Ru a smile!" Zuo Wenyi also said

The two of them were so excited about playing with the child that the medicine had already cooled down.

Liu Er opened her mouth to remind her, "My lady, drink the medicine quickly, or it will get cold."

"Well, okay! Bring it over!" Zuo Wenyi said

Liu'er brought the medicine over, and Zuo Wenyi took it. Just as she was about to raise her head to drink it, she heard Rupin say:

"Since Zuo Changzai is going to take medicine, I will not bother you any more. It is important for you to take care of your health. I will take the child back to the palace first!"

"What?" Zuo Wenyi wondered if she had heard it wrong.

"I'm going to take the child back to Jiahe Palace first. You can take your time to recover." Rupin said while holding the baby in her arms.

"Why! Why did Concubine Ru take my son away?" Zuo Wenyi resisted the urge and said calmly.

Looking at the puzzled Zuo Wenyi, Rupin said, "It seems that Zuo Changzai still doesn't know. The emperor has already said that after you give birth to the child, it will be registered in my name and raised by me."

"What!!" The medicine in Zuo Wenyi's hand fell to the ground.

The little prince was frightened when he heard the crackling sound and burst into tears, "Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!"

Rupin quickly comforted the child in her arms, "Good child, don't cry, don't cry, mother is here! Don't cry, don't cry~"

After calming the little prince, Concubine Ru glared at Zuo Wenyi angrily and said, "What are you doing! You almost scared the child!"

Zuo Wenyi stood up suddenly, took the child from Rupin's arms, and said to Rupin, "Go away! This is my child!"

"Give it back to me! It's mine!" Concubine Ru snatched the child back.

"Give it back to me!" Zuo Wenyi said anxiously

Rupin hugged the child tightly in her arms and said, "This is my child. Wake up. You are just a concubine! What qualifications do you have to raise a prince?"

"Princess Ru may not know! The Emperor has already ordered me to be a noble lady!" Zuo Wenyi said

"What about being a concubine? What about being a noble? You are equally unqualified, and the Emperor has already promised me since you became pregnant! Even if you are now a concubine, the child will still be mine!" Rupin said angrily.

The child started crying again as the two of them kept arguing...
