After the Queen Mother left the banquet, all the guests realized what was going on and quickly found an excuse to leave in a hurry.
Nuo Da's palace soon became empty. Ye Yan'er leaned in Prince Xiao's arms and comforted her softly: "Your Majesty, just follow the wishes of the Queen Mother and let the Princess come out."
"Yan'er, you are just too kind."
King Xiao sighed. What he was most worried about was that Mrs. Chu would come out to bully Yan'er. After all, Yan'er was too kind.
At this time, the housekeeper hurriedly came to report the news and asked Prince Xiao to go to Lengxiang Garden in person.
Prince Xiao frowned when he heard this, and he really didn't want to look at Mrs. Chu anymore.
Ye Yaner's eyes flashed with viciousness, but soon turned into a gentle and gentle gesture: "Your Majesty, let's go and welcome my sister together. After all these years, Yan'er has already let go."
Because of the Queen Mother, Ye Yan'er could only compromise virtuously and generously, but what if she came out? Five years ago, she was able to kill the prince's legitimate son in full public view, and she can still get rid of Chu Yunning today.
Chu Yunning has occupied the position of princess for too long.
This position should belong to her!
As expected, Prince Xiao felt even more pity for Ye Yan'er and secretly sighed that there was such a virtuous girl in this world.
The two of them went to Lengxiang Garden together.
When the Queen Mother saw the two of them coming together, the smile on her face subsided.
"Mother."
"Queen Mother."
The two of them saluted, and Prince Xiao said: "After returning to my mother, Yan'er has sent people to clean the Chu family's yard. They will be able to move back soon."
The Queen Mother waved her hand, not interested in the word Ye Yaner, and pointed to Beibei impatiently: "Look who this child looks like?"
Beibei raised his head in confusion and looked at Wang Xiao.
Only then did King Xiao notice Chu Beibei, and he was stunned by this sight.
His eyebrows, nose, and mouth are almost exactly the same as his, and he is simply a smaller version of himself.
"This is?" Prince Xiao was surprised.
The Queen Mother pretended to be angry and scolded: "This is your eldest son, Beibei. You have really neglected your duty by not paying attention to me for so many years!"
Prince Xiao couldn't believe his ears and stared at Beibei blankly.
On the side, Chu Yunning glanced at Prince Xiao, whose mouth was wide enough to hold an egg, and then at Ye Yan'er, who looked pale, with a pair of beautiful eyes that couldn't hide the resentment and jealousy, and the corners of her mouth curved.
Ye Yaner was the first to react and pinched her fingertips into the palm of her hand. She couldn't believe that the princess had given birth to another legitimate son.
Absolutely impossible, this child must not be the prince’s!
Ye Yaner soon regained her senses and pretended to be confused: "Since the princess moved to Lengxiang Garden, the prince has never set foot here. Why did he suddenly have an additional child?"
"Are you questioning me?" Chu Yunning frowned. It was okay to bully her, but it was absolutely not okay to question Beibei's life experience.
Beibei is her bottom line.
"Don't bully my mother!" Beibei immediately protected Chu Yunning, glaring at Ye Yan'er with his round eyes.
Baring his teeth like a wolf cub.
Ye Yan'er glanced at Beibei with a dark expression, but since the Queen Mother was present, she didn't care about the child.
Still doubtful: "Your Majesty, for so many years, none of the servants who guarded the princess have reported that the princess is pregnant. If the prince had known that there was a child, how could he bear to let the child suffer in Lengxiang Garden? Did the princess think of Chu Er and be confused for a moment?
talent......."
Look, with just a few words, he accused her of an unfounded crime, and then deliberately mentioned Chu'er to provoke her.
Chu Yunning has never forgotten Chu Er’s life!
She didn't know whether others believed Ye Yan'er's lies, but judging from Prince Xiao's expression, she probably believed it.
King Xiao recalled that Chu Yunning pretended to have amnesia to deceive him after losing Chu'er, and suddenly lost all trust in Chu Yunning.
"You are not only poisonous, but you also dare to betray me and secretly give birth to evil offspring!"
The evil words stung Chu Yunning's heart, especially in front of the child. Chu Yunning could not wait to give Prince Xiao a slap in the face to wake him up.
Chu Beibei's appearance is such that anyone can tell that he is the son of Prince Xiao.
"Xiao'er, you've gone too far!" The Queen Mother's face sank, extremely displeased.
"Mother, please don't be deceived by this woman. She has a vicious mind and is good at making fun of herself. I don't know whose offspring this child is. Since Chu'er passed away, my son has never favored Mrs. Chu. How could Mrs. Chu be pregnant with a child?
?”
King Xiao firmly believed that it was Chu Yun Ning who did not follow the rules of women, could not bear the loneliness, and hooked up with some wild man, and gave birth to a son who was framed for him.
If he finds out who the adulterer is, Prince Xiao must crush this person to ashes.
Suddenly, Beibei puffed up his cheeks and rushed towards King Xiao angrily, opened his mouth and bit the back of King Xiao's hand.
King Xiao was in pain and swung Beibei away. Beibei was caught off guard and was thrown out. His head hit the corner of the table and he quickly turned red.
Beibei sat on the ground and pouted, looking helplessly at Chu Yunning.
"Beibei!" Chu Yunning rushed over and held Beibei in his arms, staring at King Xiao with dark eyes as dark as the night.
Ye Yan'er worriedly pulled up the back of Prince Xiao's hand and exclaimed: "My lord, are you okay? Why is this child so ignorant of the rules? How dare you hurt your lord in the slightest with his precious body..."
Before she finished speaking, the Queen Mother raised her hand and slapped Prince Xiao hard with lightning speed.
"Crack!"
Crisp and loud!
Everyone present was stunned, except Chu Yunning, who looked at the clear slap marks on Xiao Wang's face and wished he could add a few more.
"You're confused!" The Queen Mother was furious, with disappointment in her tone: "What's wrong with a four-year-old child protecting his own mother? It's worth your cruel treatment!"
Prince Xiao covered his face and looked down at the back of his hand where he had been bitten deeply and left several clear teeth marks. However, seeing Beibei trembling in fear in Chu Yunning's arms, he felt a little regretful.
For a moment, I didn't know what to do, so I murmured: "This is what the Queen taught me."
Ye Yaner stood behind Prince Xiao with an embarrassed look on her face, as if this slap had hit her in the face without any mercy.
Then the Queen Mother glared at Ye Yan'er angrily: "Concubine Ye, don't blame the Ai family for not warning you. If Beibei makes any mistake because of you, the Ai family will want you to be buried with the entire Ye family!"
Ye Yaner was angry and frightened. She was shaking all over and almost fell down. She knelt on the ground and said she didn't dare.
This time, Prince Xiao did not speak for Ye Yaner.
Chu Yunning hugged her son. Beibei was already four and a half years old. He was very smart and sensible. He could understand the word "evil".
She doesn't expect Prince Xiao to love Beibei, but if someone hurts Beibei, that's absolutely not okay!
She didn't want her children to know the complexity between adults, and Chu Yunning couldn't care less about things that should have been difficult to talk about.
"If the prince cannot remember, then let me remind you that at the palace banquet hosted by Concubine Zhang five years ago, the prince was drunk..."
After being reminded by Chu Yunning, King Xiao suddenly remembered that day, a spring night under the Furong tent.
"Your Majesty, is there any mistake in calculating the time?"
Prince Xiao was speechless and looked at Beibei subconsciously, with even more guilt in his eyes.
Ye Yaner's heart tightened when she saw this, and she guessed that this child was probably Prince Xiao's.
Without Chu'er, Beibei came again. Ye Yan'er felt a surge of anger in her chest. She could never let Beibei recognize her ancestor and return to her clan.
Ye Yan'er looked at Bei Bei pitifully, with her fingertips on her lower abdomen, tears falling from the corners of her eyes, as if she was lost in grief and she even choked and said: "The princess is so lucky, unlike Yan'er
No blessing, the baby just fell into the water and caught a cold and the baby died. The princess must be extremely lucky to be able to give birth to Beibei safely after receiving dozens of sticks."
Prince Xiao immediately remembered this and looked at Beibei with a more indifferent and questioning expression.
Chu Yunning took a deep breath and suppressed her anger to reply: "Concubine Ye is weak and can't give birth, but that doesn't mean others won't be able to give birth either. What do you think, Concubine Ye?"
Concubine Ye was poked at the scar, her breath tightened, her delicate figure trembled slightly, and she hurriedly explained: "Princess, I misunderstood. Of course I hope that Beibei is the prince's child, but the royal bloodline cannot be confused. For the sake of Beibei's future suffering
People are criticizing me, so I propose to call the imperial doctor to perform a blood test to recognize my kin."
The Queen Mother directly interrupted Ye Yan'er and looked at Beibei with a very firm expression: "No need, the Ai family believes that Beibei is of royal blood!"
"Queen Mother, Yan'er is just..." Ye Yan'er explained anxiously.
"That's enough. If the story of blood recognition is spread, how can Beibei have the face to face the world? Xiao'er, the facts are right in front of you. You can't help but not believe it."
When the Queen Mother stared at Ye Yan'er, her eyes became more warning: "From now on, Beibei is the eldest son of Prince Xiao's family. If anyone dares to gossip and question Beibei, the Ai family will not treat him lightly!"
Ye Yan'er shook her shoulders and said warmly: "
Yan'er doesn't dare."
The Queen Mother really didn't like Ye Yan'er's style, so it was Xiao Er who doted on such a snake-hearted woman.
The Queen Mother waved to Bei Bei, who could tell the difference between good and bad, stumbled into the Queen Mother's arms, hid her little head under the Queen Mother's phoenix robe, and called her "grandmother" softly.
The Queen Mother was heartbroken and took out a token engraved with cloud patterns from her arms and handed it to Beibei: "Good boy, this is a greeting gift from grandma to you. If anyone dares to bully you in the future, take this and go to the palace to find grandma."
Grandma has your back!"
King Xiao's pupils shrank, and he recognized it at a glance as the Feather Spirit Token, which can be regarded as a gold medal for immunity from death. There are only three in the world, and it was given by the ancestor.
"Giving such a valuable thing to a child, isn't it too pampering for him?" Wang Xiao asked.
Ye Yaner was filled with jealous rage, but she didn't dare to stop him. She stared at Beibei, hoping that he would recognize his interest and not answer.
"It's just a token, far less important than the good grandson of the Ai family." The Queen Mother said.
Beibei was young but not stupid. He knew the Yuling Ling was a good thing as soon as he heard this. He took it without saying a word, hid it in his arms, and grinned at the Queen Mother: "Thank you, grandma."
"good!"
The Queen Mother held Beibei in her arms and asked him about his welfare, and called the imperial doctor to see Beibei's injuries. She reluctantly returned to the palace until it was almost dark, without giving any instructions to Chu Yunning before leaving.
"You are the mistress of the palace. You should be able to handle certain things. Stop letting others bully you. Don't forget that the Ai family is supporting you!"
Chu Yunning agreed with a smile. No need to guess, she knew that Ye Yan'er must be in tears and sympathetic to King Bo Xiao.
As soon as the Queen Mother left, Ye Yaner was so upset that she just wanted to leave as soon as possible, so she found an excuse to claim she was feeling unwell.
Chu Yunning was too lazy to pay attention to the two of them and took Beibei back to Danqiong Garden. It was much bigger than Lengxiang Garden, but she was very used to Lengxiang Garden.
Danqiong Courtyard has been idle for a long time. No one has cleaned it all year round. Many facilities are outdated. There are still green duckweeds floating on the water in the pool. The lotus flowers are withered and a single pole is left standing in the water.
Beibei didn't speak a word all night. He was nestled in Chu Yunning's arms, with a stern face and dark and translucent eyes that looked a bit lonely. The wound on his forehead was obviously much better after applying medicine.
Beibei's watery eyes hinted at hope: "Is Prince Xiao the father of Beibei? Doesn't he like Beibei?"
Chu Yunning rubbed Beibei's head: "Beibei, no one in this world is bound to like someone. Beibei has a mother who likes him. Besides, Beibei has been living happily without his father these past few years, isn't he?"
Chu Yunning has instilled in Beibei a thought since he was a child: Mom loves you very much and you are the best child.
At first, Beibei would yell and ask about his father's whereabouts, but gradually he understood more and stopped asking.
Beibei quickly felt relieved, put his arms around Chu Yunning's neck and rubbed it gently: "It's enough for Beibei to have a mother."
Prince Xiao's expression suddenly darkened as he stood at the door.
He coaxed Ye Yan'er to sleep, feeling irritated and unknowingly came to Danqiong Courtyard with Ningxue Cream in hand. There was no one waiting in the yard. Seeing that there were still candles in the room, he couldn't help but walk over.
I happened to hear these words again.
For some reason, Prince Xiao felt unhappy. Ever since he saw Beibei, all he could think about was Beibei's face that looked exactly like his own.
I don’t know how the child’s injury was or whether he is still in pain.
