Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Bailu was heavy. She didn’t expect Qian’er to come over right away, and had been standing for a long time.
Prince Zi rebuked her. “Slow down. Why are you in such a hurry? It’s only right for her to wait.”
Gu Bailu ignored him. “She’s coming to see me right after she arrived. I have to support her no matter what, in case people think she doesn’t have a family.”
Qian’er was a slave, and even after giving birth to the crown prince, she was still only a concubine. Many people here looked down on her.
Gu Bailu definitely wouldn’t let her lose face.
Prince Zi rubbed his forehead helplessly. He really didn’t understand the feelings between women.
Qian’er wasn’t her mother; why worry about face?
“Master…” Qian’er smiled and circled her for a look. “You’re so heavy, it must be hard on you every day. ”
“I’m exhausted. I just hope he drops soon. Let me have a look at the crown prince.”
At a glance, Gu Bailu knew that Qian’er was doing well. At the very least, she hadn’t been bullied badly after giving birth to the crown prince.
She looked at the baby and said in surprise, “Is this the skinny monkey from before?”
Qian’er smiled. “Unexpected, right? If I hadn’t watched him grow every day, I would wonder if he was my son.”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. You’re growing so fast. You really were like a little red mouse back then.”
Gu Bailu held her belly. “I’m too heavy to carry him. Give him to Lian’er. She’s looking forward to seeing you.”
Bu Yaolian had been listening attentively. She hurriedly stood up when Gu Bailu mentioned her. “Qian’er.”
Qian’er was stunned. Was this Bu Yaolian?
Oh my G.o.d, how did Bu Yaolian, who was so fat that she had to roll around when she walked, lose so much weight?
If this face filled up, it really was Bu Yaolian!
She smiled calmly. “Long time no see.”
“Lulu misses you so much. She talks about you every day. Wow, this baby is so handsome. He even smiled at me!”
The crown prince snorted. You’re so beautiful, how can I not smile?
Although he couldn’t see her face clearly, he could smell her.
The two beauties his mother brought him to meet smelled great. They had to be great beauties.
The crown prince loved beauties the most, and naturally had to give them face.
“He’s still waving his hands. It seems he wants you to carry him. It’s rare to see him so friendly.” Qian’er hurriedly gave the crown prince to Bu Yaolian.
Bu Yaolian was at a loss. “I… I won’t break him, will I?”
Shao Zun leaned over. “Idiot, how can you break a baby by carrying it? The boy is so strong, it’ll be fine if you drop him on his head a couple of times.”
He poked the crown prince’s face, and a red mark appeared.
Qian’e’s heart ached. “Shao… Shao Zun, a baby’s skin is tender. You can’t poke it.”
Shao Zun coughed. He probably felt that it hadn’t been good of him to leave a red mark on someone. He took off a piece of jade from his waist and threw it into the cloth bundle. “I’ll give him that as an apology.”
He sat back down.
Bu Yaolian was a little embarra.s.sed, thinking that Shao Zun was a child too.
She whispered to Qian’er, “Shao Zun can be quite childish sometimes. Don’t argue with him.”
Qian’er didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She took the jade out of the swaddle. “Baby, thank Uncle Shao Zun for the jade.”
The crown prince pretended to be happy and chuckled.
