Now that such a thing had happened, the topic of conversation had become somewhat more interesting. How could there be anything new in the Prince's Mansion? Murong Yu heard about it as soon as he returned.

His son's grandfather had once been a third-rate official, but unfortunately, he died young and had only one son. He was ill since childhood, and had also died two months ago, leaving only the two widows, the white-haired man, who sent the black haired man away, and the old woman, who was also becoming more and more sick from grief. This little woman, who had no relatives and was raised as a child's daughter-in-law, had also read some books, so she had the courage to come to the King's Estate to apply, because she had no money and was tired of eating so she left the house early in the morning.

After inspecting the purity of her family, the woman begged and pleaded. In addition to the love story with Yun Sheng and Yue, Murong Yu agreed to keep the two of them, but the old woman was not lucky. She watched as her grandson was safely born, and in just two days, he actually left.

A woman who had no one to rely on asked to be sold to the King's Manor as a slave for life. A child could also be considered a son of the King's Manor, but the Lei Clan had no family name of their own, and their maiden name was Hongmei. Although she was not very old, she had given birth to a child.

After all, they were newlyweds. Although they did not wear plain clothes because they were afraid of the Wang Residence knowing about it when they came for the conscription, since their mother-in-law had also died, they naturally had to be filial. However, carrying filial piety in the Prince's Residence was unlucky.

However, they could be considered to have good fortune. Although the West Wind Courtyard was remote, it had been taken care of by Yun Shengyue, so after taking care of it, it looked like a nice place without any desolation. There were rows of vegetables in the yard and the rose flowers by the wall were emerald green.

"This servant thanks wangfei. For wangfei's great kindness, this servant will repay you even if I have to work hard all my life." Seeing that Yun Sheng Yue had passed, Mei Niang immediately stood up from the embroidery stand and knelt down in front of her, bowing to her.

He looked at the embroidery rack in the room and said, "You've only been born ten days ago, why are you already working here? Hurry up and rest, I heard from the Senior Servants that being a Yuezi is very important. Otherwise, it won't be good if you fall ill in the future."

"Wangfei is too kind, your servant is fine. Your servant also doesn't have any other skills. I know how to do embroidery, and since there's something ready in the room, I did it …" Madam Mei was not tall, but she was petite, unlike a woman who had just given birth to a child. Her facial features were very dignified, and her watery eyes were filled with worry.

Yun Sheng said with a smile, "That's something that I've done in the past."

"Ah, this servant doesn't know, this servant has offended you!" When Mei Niang heard this, she immediately kneeled down with a miserable expression.

"It's alright, hurry up and talk while sitting down. In the future, don't kneel down any further, even though there are rules in the prince's mansion, I don't like to pay attention to formalities. Take care of your health peacefully, even though grief is inevitable when a family member dies, a child is still counting on you."

"Yes, thank you for your advice, wangfei." However, the Old Master of the Lei Family had died less than a year ago, and her husband's health was not very good either. Hence, her mother-in-law always complained that she had brought her fortune into the Lei Family, and now that her husband was dead, even her mother-in-law was dead. If not for the fact that she had safely given birth to a child, she would not want to live anymore.

"Bring the child here for me to see." As Yun Sheng instructed, Cui'er wanted to hurry over, but she was stopped by Grandma Wang. She walked to the bed and carried the baby over.

Although the child was small, his facial features were quite normal. His eyebrows were thick and his eyes were big. His small mouth was tightly shut as he slept soundly.

"This child is the same every day. The more he grows, the better it is." A mama who was in charge of taking care of Madam Mei said. Madam Mei looked at her with a face full of gratitude. If this child wasn't born in a prince's mansion, how could he grow up to be so good?

Yun Shengyue looked at the tiny baby in surprise, as though she wanted to hug it but did not dare to. Wang mama laughed and said, "Since Princess has never been a mother, she naturally doesn't understand how to carry such a small child. Just a look will do."

"I... I still want to hug you. " Yun Shengyue hesitated for a moment and said, "It should be fine. It won't hurt him, right?"

"How could that be? It's all wrapped up tight. If you really want to hug it, just hold it for a while. " Grandma Wang smiled as she placed the child in Yunsheng's hands.

After a moment of looking, the child suddenly stretched out his hands and opened his eyes. His eyes were still a little misty, but after seeing that she was back to sleep in a daze, he smiled. "It seems like this child does not care for strangers."

"It's good to have a child that you don't want to have. It's his fortune to have an imperial concubine hug him." Zhang mama also smiled.

Madam Mei hesitated for a moment and said, "Your servant... This servant would like to ask the wangfei to give her child a name. "

"Ah, yes! He hadn't chosen a name yet, right? What kind of name was this? "But I have to think about it." Yun Sheng began pondering. When the time came for the child in her womb to be given a name by the Emperor, she would not be able to do it herself. It would be rather interesting to be able to name the child.

"This child's surname is Lei …" Yun Sheng pondered as he said, "I need to use a more mighty name. In the future, I'll be able to learn martial arts from the guards and uncles and build up my career."

"I accept wangfei's words, as long as this child can safely grow up and be a servant, then there's nothing else I can ask for!" Tears flickered in Mei Niang's eyes as she looked at the healthy child. Finally, there was some hope in her eyes.

"How about we call it Lei Zhen? The ancestors of the Lei Family are also officials. In the future, he will be the one to revive the Lei Family. " Yun Sheng said.

Mei Niang gratefully nodded her head, and the nuns also praised her on the side. It was indeed a good name!

"Lei Zhen, Zhen`er, you have to grow up quickly. You are the big brother, in the future you have to protect your little brother or sister in the mansion." Yun Sheng shook his head gently in a loving manner.

Madam Mei hastened to say, "Many thanks to the princess for her name. Zhen`er will definitely attend to the crown prince and the princess in the future."

"Kids aren't supposed to serve. They're about the same age, so it's good for them to be playmates in the future, to study and practice martial arts together."

Madam Mei was so excited that she didn't know what to say. A maidservant came in and reported that she had come to the Crown Prince Palace.

In the Clear Tide Courtyard, birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant. The scenery was pleasing to the eyes, and the elegance was filled with warmth.

Mu Rong Qing's white robe and white boots were elegant as usual, leisurely walking around as he revealed his fondness towards the arrangement of the courtyard.

"Sheng Yue greets royal brother. Why didn't royal brother inform anyone beforehand? Sheng Yue isn't prepared at all." The crown prince cared for her and Murong Yu very much. Previously, she was not as reserved as she was, but now that she was pregnant and had been in the imperial family for a long time, she gradually understood the difference in status.

Mu Rong Qing was stunned for a moment as though he wasn't used to Yun Sheng's courtesy. However, he didn't say anything as he looked at her belly and smiled gently, "I didn't expect that my nephew would grow up like this after a month. Yue Er, why are you still running around with your belly so big?"

"I was just walking around in the mansion. I don't know where I went. It's so boring staying in the mansion every day." Yun Sheng Yue finally revealed the look of a little girl. She could not pretend to be an adult for long.

Mu Rong Qing then looked around with satisfaction as he said, "I heard that this mansion was arranged by your orders. It's very elegant and comfortable. It's very pleasing to look at every day."

"It's just some random flowers and plants, did Imperial Brother have something to do today?"

"Can't I come here if there's nothing?" Mu Rong Qing purposely said this with a serious expression.

Yun Sheng Yue hurriedly said, "Where? Imperial Brother can come whenever you want. I'm just asking..."

"Hehe, I'm just teasing you. Don't be impatient! I came early this spring because I saw that the weather was good, so I wanted to go to Ming Nan Mountain and take a walk, passing by you guys, so I came in to take a look, and I was very excited, but I didn't inform you, you don't need to prepare anything, I'll just sit down and leave. "

"I also heard that the scenery on the southern mountain is great, and there are many azaleas, so now is the time to bloom. The whole mountain is filled with valleys and must be very beautiful, but alas, I am not allowed to go out, or else I would also like to go and have a look." Yun Shengyue asked with a look of yearning.

"Yes, I am going to reward the cuckoo." Mu Rong Qing looked at Yun Shengyue's stomach again and said with a smile, "It's better if you don't think about it. Just wait until next year and bring your nephew along."

As he was speaking, Mu Rong Yu came back from outside. He was slightly surprised to see Mu Rong Qing here. "Imperial brother, you haven't left the palace in a long time. Why are you so free to come here today?"

"You came back just in time, I was also looking for you. I heard you left the house, but you came back in time. Come with me to Ming Nan Shan!" Mu Rong Qing then teased Yue Er, "Yue Er, don't stay in the courtyard for too long. Go and rest well. I'll borrow Brother Yu's body to go out and have him return home before dinner."

Murong Yu did not ask any further. He only looked at Yun Shengyue gently without caring about the presence of outsiders. Yun Shengyue smiled embarrassedly and said, "Imperial Brother is joking again. All of you go quickly. Today has always been dark. I'm afraid there might be Xiao Yu."

"Good!" "Then we'll take our leave first!" Mu Rong Qing smiled as he turned around and left, maintaining his usual free and easy posture. Murong Yu squeezed Yun Shengyue's hand before quickly following behind her.

As soon as they left the Clear Tide Courtyard, Chen Jue`er came in with Hong Liu.

"Sure enough, the flowers here are more beautiful." Chen Jue'er praised as she read, then casually asked: "Just now I saw the prince and His Highness leaving in a hurry, is there something urgent?"

"What's the rush? They went to Ming Nan Mountain to admire the flowers." No matter how lively the azaleas were, it was impossible for her to look at them. If she knew earlier, there would be more of them in the manor. Only three or five of them looked thinner than before.

Chen Jue`er laughed and said, "So it's like that, what makes me think that it's important? I've been to the Southern Mountains with the Prince before, and it's just that there are more azaleas. I'm not as pretty as the flowers in the Clear Tide Courtyard like you, Yue'er."

"Oh." Yun Sheng retracted his gaze and suddenly no longer wanted to look at the rhododendron. He asked indifferently, "Jue'er, what are you here for? I've been out for a long time and I want to go back to my room to rest for a while. "

"It's nothing. I just took a walk and came to your place. Yue Er, you must be tired. Go and rest. I will leave after looking at the flowers. No need to take care of me." Chen Jue-er was still smiling impeccably.

Yun Shengyue nodded and left. The rest of the people followed behind her, leaving Chen Ju`er and Red Willow standing there with a changed expression.

"She's really putting on airs more and more. Isn't she just pregnant with a child? What's there to be proud of? Her eyes don't even have a trace of me in them. She's even become lazy to socialize a bit." Chen Jue-er was full of complaints.

Hong Liu returned to her senses and said half-heartedly, "I have nothing to say to her anyway. Let's go back. I still have some matters to attend to so I'm thinking of leaving the mansion."

"What is it?"

"It's nothing, it's just that the silk that I bought yesterday was missing two colors. I just remembered them after seeing the azaleas, I'll go buy some. Madam, you can just embroider a bag of azaleas for the prince."

"What a great idea. Why don't you just let the others run over for a bit?" Chen Jue`er said impatiently.

Hong Liu smiled and said, "I only found it pleasing to look at myself. Besides, the weather is not bad, so it's good to go out for a walk. Madam, do you want to go with me?"

"Forget it, forget it!" I'm too lazy to move today. You can go by yourself, I'll go back to my room to rest. " After Chen Jue`er finished speaking, he turned around and walked away.

Red Willow followed her out of Qinglan Academy before she turned to the road outside the residence and left in a hurry.
