Listening to her daughter's heartfelt words, the pregnant Lady Hou went on a killing spree.

Both princesses agreed with An'an's words. If their father and mother found out that Xiao Yang had come to Ji's house today and made some harsh remarks, they would be the first to punish him. He would regret it later.

Ji Yue Ru could understand Princess Changping coming to the mansion, but she really couldn't understand Princess Chang'an coming.

It seems their relationship isn't good enough for them to visit each other, since they used to be like oil and water, almost fighting every time they met.

Changping is also in an awkward position now, because she has done so much to target Ji Yueru in the past.

Looking back now, she was really stupid. Judging from what the little guy said, Marquis Anshun wasn't a good person either.

The three of them walked towards the backyard. When they passed the garden, Lin Tianci and Lin Wanwan suddenly appeared out of nowhere and started crying and begging Changping.

"Your Highness, Father says you're the best. Please save my brother and me. We'll die if we stay in this manor any longer."

Lin Wanwan looked up at Princess Changping with her small, palm-sized face, her big eyes wet from crying.

She used this trick in the Yu family before and it always worked. Her maternal grandmother felt sorry for her.

I just watched Lin Wanwan's mother put on a good show outside the mansion, and now when I look at Lin Wanwan, I can see that she looks a bit like her mother.

Princess Changping would hardly feel pity; she could only think that they were indeed mother and daughter, their ability to elicit sympathy was inherited from the same source.

The maid standing next to her turned cold.

"How dare you! You dare to cling to the princess? Let go of her right now!"

Lin Wanwan was startled; this was not what she had imagined.

Seeing that something was wrong, Lin Tianci, who had run out from the side, quickly pulled his sister aside.

"Your Highness, please calm your anger. My sister couldn't bear it any longer, so she ran out to beg Your Highness. Please forgive her."

Seeing that Lin Tianci was so adept at playing the game of changing one's mind at such a young age, Changping and Chang'an suddenly thought of Marquis Anshun.

"Guards, take the young lady and young master away and keep them under strict guard."

"Yes, madam."

Two maids came over, each grabbing one of them, and ignoring their crying and fussing, they forcibly dragged them away.

The three turned around and, ignoring the crying and commotion behind them, continued walking towards Qinghe Courtyard.

Changping made a joke.

"It seems that the Lady of the Marquis's days at the manor are quite colorful."

"It's all thanks to the two princesses; they would never normally bother showing off in front of me."

Upon arriving at Qinghe Courtyard, the three of them sat down in the main hall.

Princess Chang'an took out a brocade box that she had prepared in advance from her sleeve.

"I snatched the jade pendant you picked out at the jewelry store before, and later I found out that you were preparing it for the baby in your belly, and I felt really bad about it."

"This is something I specially picked out from the Imperial Household Department to apologize to the child. Take a look and see if you like it."

Princess Chang'an had long wanted to visit and express her gratitude, but she had never been able to find a suitable reason.

Today, upon hearing in the palace that Princess Changping was coming to the Marquis's residence, she shamelessly followed along.

Ji Yueru accepted the brocade box and smiled, "These are all trivial matters that I had long forgotten. I didn't expect Your Highness to remember them."

She took it and casually opened it, and what was inside stunned her.

"Wow! Mother, it's actually warm jade, which is abundant in the Great Xun Kingdom. Just by looking at the texture, you can tell that its quality must be excellent."

The two princesses knew she liked An'an just by hearing her voice. Princess Chang'an breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the little one was happy.

The two countries have always been at odds, and the warm jade from Da Xun Kingdom is prohibited from being circulated to Da Ming. Therefore, the warm jade produced by Da Xun Kingdom is not cheap at all in Da Ming, and it has reached the point where it is impossible to buy even with silver.

The warm jade warms the hands and feet, and wearing it for a long time is very beneficial for people with cold hands and feet.

"But Mother, you should return Nuanyu to her. We don't need to owe her a favor, and her future won't be easy anyway."

To avoid accepting her gifts and then having to decide whether or not to help her later when she's in trouble.

Changping and Chang'an were both stunned, especially Chang'an. She had now been recognized by the royal family and become a royal princess. She had no plans to remarry and just raise the child in her belly. Why would her future be difficult?

"An'an, Princess Chang'an has returned to the royal family now, how could her life be difficult from now on?"

I don't know how she found out the truth and recognized the royal family before, but from my current observation of her, the son she's carrying is an ingrate.

He pretended well when he was young, but when he grew up and Princess Chang'an grew old, his true colors were revealed.

He gradually leaned towards his former father and his father's second wife.

He practically emptied the entire princess's residence to subsidize his father and stepmother; Princess Chang'an was eventually driven to her death by him.

Princess Chang'an looked down at her belly. In fact, she was very angry when the incident first happened and was determined not to keep the child in her womb.

But after a few days, her anger subsided, and with her mother's persuasion, she realized that her mother was right.

If a man is unreliable, then divorce is fine, but the child is yours to raise, and he will always side with his mother in the future.

Now that she had heard the little one's true feelings, Princess Chang'an realized that she had been completely wrong.

A child born with a poor lineage will definitely inherit that trait.

"Keep this jade for now. It's a gift for the baby in your belly. It has little to do with you."

Even if we don't want to take her in, we have to wait until the child is born and can talk before letting her tell me.

Ji Yueru laughed. Ye Simiao was still the same Ye Simiao, just as domineering and unreasonable as before.

"I'll keep it for my An'an for now."

The child's nickname is An'an, which is quite similar to her name, Chang'an. Princess Chang'an felt more and more that she was destined to be with An'an.

Since she's giving it to me, I'm not going to pay her back. She insisted on giving it, so don't expect me to owe her a favor.

Changping and Chang'an understood that An'an wanted something but couldn't bring herself to do it, which was quite adorable.

Knowing that the two were coming to the Marquis of Anshun’s residence to see Ji Yueru today, the Emperor immediately summoned them and gave them some instructions. He had only one request: to find out more about what happened after the Ming Dynasty, especially how she and the Empress died.

After discussing the gift, Princess Chang'an took out an invitation and handed it to Ji Yueru.

"The princess's residence will hold a housewarming banquet in three days, and you must attend."

Ji Yueru felt that Princess Changping was acting very strangely today. The two of them had never interacted before, but now the invitation had been personally delivered to her.

Since the other party was a princess, she naturally couldn't refuse.

"Your Highness, please rest assured, I will definitely attend in three days."

Princess Changping frowned.

"I see you haven't gained much weight during your pregnancy. Is it because you don't like the food at the Marquis of Anshun's manor? I own an estate where the produce tastes pretty good."

I'll have someone deliver some to you every day from now on.

"Thank you, Your Highness. But you don't need any food. I can't eat much by myself."

"It's all something the subordinates will handle incidentally, so it's settled."

Princess Changping finished speaking and, without giving Ji Yueru a chance to speak, immediately moved on to something else.

Ji Yueru was helpless; how come she never knew Princess Changping was so domineering?

After that, An'an remained silent. The two of them had no choice but to get up and say goodbye, as almost half an hour had passed.

They hadn't forgotten An'an's outburst at the palace banquet, and they were determined not to offend this little tyrant.

Seeing that the two were about to leave, Ji Yueru got up to see them off. The journey to the gate of the mansion went smoothly until an unexpected problem arose.

When the three arrived at the gate of the mansion, they saw Zhao Kuo gazing affectionately at Chang'an.
