Upon hearing this, Princess Jing's smile froze for a moment.

Poisoning? Where did that sound come from?

The voice was childish, it must belong to this girl, but she didn't speak. Could it be the kind of inner voice from a play?

According to her, her mother was poisoned? Who did it?

Lu Wenshu quickly sifted through the families she had grudges against, as well as the servants in her mother's courtyard.

In addition, the imperial physician would be consulted every two weeks to check on the patient's pulse.

But she remained calm, clutching her handkerchief tightly, and stepped forward with a faint smile:

"Mother, this child is so fair and adorable, I'm delighted with him too. May I hold him?"

My mother's expression was off; she must have heard it too.

Fang Yuhua received a look from her daughter-in-law, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she steadied herself, looking at the child in her arms. Her voice, however, was tinged with sadness: "Jingjing, can Auntie hold you?"

Seeing that her mother-in-law's complexion wasn't good, Jingjing assumed it was because she was too chubby and heavy, so she quickly stood up from her mother-in-law's arms and reached out to touch her mother-in-law's leg.

"Jingjing, feel it, Grandma's pain is gone~ Good luck to Grandma~"

【It's all Jingjing's fault for being too heavy. She must have stepped on Grandma's leg just now, waaaaaah ┭┮﹏┭┮】

Hearing her thoughts, Fang Yuhua snapped out of her reverie, looked at the small hand with its chubby dimples on her lap, and the smile in her eyes deepened:

"Okay, Grandma's not in pain. Then, would Jingjing let this auntie hold her?"

Jingjing withdrew her gaze and turned her eyes to the gentle woman in blue. She first noticed the jade pendant with two fish on her waist, then looked up at the woman and asked, "Auntie, would you like to hold Jingjing?"

After saying that, she stretched out her hands, blinked her bright, grape-like eyes, and pouted her pink lips slightly.

[Auntie is so pretty, and she smells so nice, I really want to stick some on her! Oh, a koi fish pendant? Does Auntie like koi fish? Jingjing is a koi fish!]

Princess Jing looked at her upturned fair face, the few golden koi fish swaying slightly behind her head, and heard the praise. Her mood improved, and she reached out to hug her and sit down at the lower seat.

When she was picked up, the golden koi fish on the back of Jingjing's head swayed gently and touched the side of Princess Jing's face.

Looking at the koi fish, Princess Jing's feelings were quite complicated: "Your name is Jingjing?"

Jingjing looked at the Princess Consort of Jing, whose eyes were clear and bright yet dignified, pursed her lips, and pointed to the jade pendant beside her legs:

"Yes, Auntie, you like koi fish too?"

Lu Wenshu was slightly taken aback; it seemed that her thoughts had just touched on this as well.

A hand gently stroked the white jade double koi fish pendant: "Yes, Auntie also likes koi fish, hoping they will bring good luck to the family."

Hearing this, Jingjing smiled and reached out to hug her hand: "Auntie, Jingjing is a lucky charm!"

Auntie likes koi fish, and Jingjing is a koi fish, so Auntie likes Jingjing! Grandpa Chief is wrong, Jingjing is never disliked, everyone loves her!

Lu Wenshu and Fang Yuhua, mother and daughter-in-law, were both amused and exasperated by her words, but after exchanging glances, their eyes remained unreadable. The good fortune sought by the Prince Jing's mansion was not something that could be changed by ordinary good luck.

Jingjing looked at them without saying anything, thinking they didn't believe her, and pouted: "It's true, Jingjing is a lucky koi, a little red lucky koi."

[Furthermore, Jingjing knows this place has great fortune! The fortune in this courtyard is also good, so you will all have good luck!]

Princess Jing withdrew her gaze and gently rubbed her little face: "You're a red koi fish, that's why you're wearing a red dress and using a red hairband?"

Jingjing nodded, the golden koi fish behind her head swaying as she said, "Yes, yes~"

[Grandpa, the clan chief, said that Jingjing is the most beautiful red koi in the clan, and also the most beautiful when wearing a red dress~] Fang

When Yu Hua heard "the most beautiful red koi," her hand holding the teacup trembled, and half of the tea spilled out. Could it be that Jing Jing really...

Ranqiu, who was standing at the door, knocked on the door frame: "Madam, Princess, the Prince has arrived."

"Quickly, let Yu'er in." The old lady was afraid that the young master would wait outside the door for even a moment longer, so she hurriedly put down her teacup and wiped the table with her handkerchief.

Before Princess Jing could even tell Jingjing in her arms to put her down, she saw that her Yu'er was already standing a few steps away from her.

Her Yu'er...

A handsome, slender young boy with rosy lips and white teeth respectfully greeted his grandmother and mother: "Grandson greets his grandmother and mother."

After bowing, the prince stood still, staring straight at Princess Jing and the child in her arms, his fists clenching tightly behind his back, and his left sleeve gripping tightly.

The mother was holding another child. A little girl, exquisitely beautiful, was smiling…

Looking at Jingjing's smile, the prince lowered his eyes and pursed his lips tightly.

Princess Jing regained her senses and wanted to put down the child in her arms to speak, but Jingjing interrupted her first:

"Hey little brother, I'm Jingjing. Are you Auntie's son? What's your name?"

[The little boy seems angry. Is it because I'm in his mother's arms? Well, Jingjing, get down!]

In an instant, she got down from Princess Jing's arms and went forward to take the prince's hand:

"Little brother, Jingjing can tell you want to stay close to your mother. Here, go on!"

[Grandpa, the clan chief, said that it's not good for Jingjing to be so clingy at her age. My older brother is even older than me, and he's clingy too. What's wrong with that? I also want a mother to cling to, sigh...]

Upon hearing her thoughts, the young prince looked up blankly at his mother. Seeing that she was not surprised, he pursed his lips in disappointment.

He's still not strong enough; his understanding is too superficial.

But growing up is such a long process, and he has already tried his best to grow up.

The prince gripped Princess Jing's sleeve tightly, pressing close to her: "Mother..."

Jingjing looked at the handsome young man in front of her, whose eyes were lowered and whose red lips were tightly pursed, and felt somewhat puzzled.

[Is this handsome young man feeling down? What's he down about? Is it because Aunt Xiangxiang didn't hold him like she held Jingjing?]

Princess Jing gently stroked the young prince's head, her eyes full of tenderness: "Yu'er, did you finish copying the texts the teacher asked for so quickly today?"

The prince nodded and moved even closer to his mother.

Seeing that his expression had returned to normal, Jingjing's worried look instantly turned into a smile, and she walked to the center:

"Grandma, Jingjing would like to sit next to Auntie, is that alright?"

[This young man is so handsome, even more handsome than the Dragon Prince! Jingjing wants to sit closer to him. It's a pity I can't take him out to play; the magic failed. It's so inconvenient...]

The old lady looked at the two little ones, her eyes flickering slightly: "Jingjing, you've been staying inside ever since you woke up. Why don't you let Yu'er take you to sit in the courtyard?"

Princess Jing immediately chimed in, "Yes, I passed by the garden this morning and saw the first lotus flower of the summer in the manor. Yu'er, would you like to take this little sister to see it?"

[Lotus flowers? Great! Jingjing hasn't seen lotus flowers in ages. Handsome young man, can you take Jingjing with you?]

Jingjing's face was full of longing, her big eyes blinking rapidly, and she deliberately softened her voice: "Little brother, is it okay~"
