Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yu Yunxi gave Meng Xia a reassuring look.

At this moment, Old Madam Zhou and Madam Shang were already in bed. However, when they heard that there was a good show to watch, they hurriedly put on their clothes and rushed over.

Yu Feng’s clothes were also in a mess when he rushed over. He held the hand of Concubine Wu, who accompanied him over. She was blushing, and her dress was also slightly untidy.

Madam Shang had just arrived when she saw this scene. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Yu Feng had been with Concubine Wu earlier. She gnashed her teeth so hard that they were about to break, and she could not help but say sarcastically, “Concubine Wu, you’re about to give birth, right? Why did you come out to join the fun?”

“M-madam, I, I…”

Concubine Wu bit her lower lip nervously, not knowing how to respond to Madam Shang.

Yu Feng frowned fiercely when he saw this, and he said disapprovingly to Madam Shang, “Li Niang has been feeling uncomfortable recently so I went to check up on her. She’s afraid of the dark so I brought her out with me.”

Then, Yu Feng continued to ask reproachfully, “What do you want?”

The doctor had said that Concubine Wu, whose name was Li Niang, was likely pregnant with a son. Although Yu Feng already had a legitimate son, he naturally did not mind having a few more sons. Moreover, Concubine Wu was very sensible and obedient. In his opinion, the son she raised would also be obedient and sensible.

‘How long has it been since he has addressed me by my name? How long has it been since he stayed in my courtyard? Ha, he went to check on her? Does he think I can’t see that he covets Concubine Wu’s young body?’

Sensing Madam Shang’s growing resentment, Old Madam Zhou said, “Enough. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent people over. Xiaoxiao wants us to go over. Don’t cause any trouble.”

After that, Old Madam Zhou turned to Concubine Wu and said in a much kinder tone, “As for you, you have to look after your health. You’ll be giving birth to a son after all…

Concubine Wu quickly lowered her head and responded submissively.

The resentment in Madam Shang’s heart grew when she saw Old Madam Zhou’s attitude toward Concubine Wu.

‘Although this old woman has no complaints about me being the legitimate wife, she’s still biased toward her son! She only wants her son to take in more women so they can give birth to more children! I sacrificed so much for this family for more than 20 years, but now I’m being outdone by these vixens?’

At this moment, the nanny behind Madam Shang reminded in a low voice,

“Madam, Young Miss is waiting for us.”

Madam Shang’s expression improved immediately when she heard the nanny’s reminder.

‘I have a daughter who won the Crown Prince’s favor. This is something those vixens can’t compare to! I’ll go and meet the Crown Prince’s people first and deal with this b*tch another day!’ Madam Shang thought to herself as she glanced at Concubine Wu’s stomach with a dark gaze, ‘The bast*rd in her stomach can’t be kept any longer!’

Soon enough, the group of people arrived.

Yu Yunxi yawned, feeling bored and tired. When she raised her head, she saw Old Madam Zhou and the others.

Yu Xiaoxiao hurried over and took the initiative to hold Yu Feng’s hand as she said, “Grandmother, Father, Mother, you’re finally here. The Crown Prince’s people have been waiting for a long time.”

Yu Feng said seriously, “Child, how can you let the Crown Prince’s people wait for us? You can just rely on the Crown Prince’s love for you to act willfully. You’re not allowed to do this in the future.’

Yu Xiaoxiao said coquettishly, “I understand, Father. However, the Crown

Prince treats me very well. He won’t be angry over such a small matter.”

Madam Shang heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the interaction between Yu Feng and Yu Xiaoxiao.

‘Xiaoxiao has to work hard. As long as she has a firm grasp on the Crown Prince’s heart, no one will dare to look down on us, and Second Master’s heart will always be with us…’

Madam Shang pretended to be serious as she said, “Enough, Xiaoxiao. How old are you now? Why are you still acting cute with your father?”

Yu Xiaoxiao stomped her feet and said coquettishly, “No matter how old I am,

I’m forever Father’s daughter. Why can’t I act cute with my father?” As she spoke, Yu Xiaoxiao intentionally pushed Concubine Wu aside.

‘Don’t think I don’t know that she wants to compete with us for Father’s love!

With me around, I won’t allow this lowly thing to succeed!’

Meanwhile, Yu Yunxi took in all of their small actions. She yawned again and said to Meng Xia, who stood next to her, “I thought I’d be able to watch a good show if I stayed, but the show turned out to be so boring.”

Meng Xia: .

‘As it turns out, the Eldest Princess only stayed because she wanted to watch the show… When did the Eldest Princess like to watch shows so much?’

At this moment, Madam Shang acted as though she had just seen Yu Yunxi. She said guiltily, “Ah, Yunxi, you’re here too. I didn’t see you at all.”

Yu Yunxi shook her head and pretended to say in a considerate manner, “It’s fine. Second Aunt, you’ve always had poor eyesight after all. How can I blame you?”

Madam Shang almost vomited blood when she heard these words.

Meanwhile, as soon as Old Madam Zhou saw Yu Yunxi, she began to act like an elder educating a junior. She said sternly, “I heard that you caused trouble again in the Temple of Eternal Peace. You…”

Yu Yunxi did not give Old Madam Zhou a chance to finish speaking. She turned to the side slightly and asked, “Meng Xia, why is a dog barking so late at night? It’s so annoying.”

“Eldest Princess, it wasn’t a dog. It’s the Old Madam,” Meng Xia said, trying to hold back her laughter.

Qian Qing also tried her best not to laugh.

“You! How dare you…”

Old Madam Zhou’s temper flared up.

However, just like before, Yu Yunxi interrupted Old Madam Zhou and said, “Meng Xia, you’re wrong. How can you compare the Old Madam to a dog? Dogs are obedient and sensible, and they’re very simple. How can the Old Madam compare to dogs?”

Meng Xia and Qian Qing were about to die from holding back their laughter as they responded to Yu Yunxi with great difficulty.

On the other hand, Old Madam Zhou was about to faint from anger. She was just about to lose her temper when more than ten people from the Eastern Palace walked in.

Wang Deshun, an eunuch, stepped forward and said sarcastically, “I thought no one was in the King of Zhenbei’s Residence. After all, we waited outside for such a long time.”

Wang Deshun was a trusted aide of Empress Qin and the Crown Prince, after all. He had been left waiting outside the King of Zhenbei’s Residence for so long, it would be strange if he was not angry.

Upon hearing those words, Yu Xiaoxiao’s eyelids twitched. She knew the eunuch was very important to Empress Qin and the Crown Prince. With this, she knew she had to lower her head to him. She put away her arrogance and said gently, “I apologize, Eunuch Wang. We were negligent. I wonder why the

Crown Prince sent you here.”

Wang Deshun naturally did not lose his temper for real. After all, no matter how much the Empress and the Crown Prince trusted him, he was just a servant. He would never behave inappropriately. As such, he did not make things difficult for Yu Xiaoxiao and only gestured to the others to bring the gift from the Eastern Palace over..
