”I'll have the people from the palace send some food over tomorrow to express my feelings.” Gai Rong'er continued.

”Don't do it tomorrow. Just for today, Jing-er.” The empress called over Wang Jingzhi, who was accompanying her. ”Go prepare some nourishing food and send it over to her benefactor.”

”Yes, this servant will go now.” Wang Jingzhi immediately retreated to prepare.

The little princess was very cute, no matter how much he wished to give birth to a prince, Zhuo Hui was after all the child of her hard work during the month of October, so he was very fond of Zhuo Hui. Seeing that Rong'er was also there, he said sourly, ”Zhuo Hui is also here.”

Rong'er smiled and replied, ”Why are you being so courteous, Sister Legge? Weren't you always calling me Little Sister Rong?”

”That was in the past. We agreed to do it together, and now that you've given birth to a prince and received a promotion, how can Loki not understand the rules and address you directly by your name?” Zhang LEqi replied with a cold smile.

”Elder sister, you worry too much. Just call me Rong'er.” The empress had always wanted everyone to be as close as sisters. She knew that Zhang Laiqi was a generous person, so she didn't want to haggle over too much with her. Besides, she had indeed given birth to a prince and received the title of prince.

”Rong'er, since you've already said so, just let me know if you can still address me as you were before.” Seeing the two of them in such a state, the Queen quickly inserted herself in to give both sides a way out.

Zhang LEqi smiled and did not bring up the matter again. She only asked, ”How is the Queen doing with her health?”

”It's quite alright. Thank you, Zhang, for agreeing to worry about it.” the queen replied.

”Zhuo Hui can't even stay in my little room. Bring her out for a breath of fresh air, then drop by to see the Empress and Cheng Hu.” Zhang LEqi said.

”Come, let me hug you.” The Queen took it and said, ”Hui Zhuo is very beautiful, very clever, very sensible, and rarely does she cry or make a ruckus.”

”Right, this child's greatest strength is that he doesn't make trouble for others. Heh.” Zhang Leyan revealed a contented smile.

Gai Rong'er walked over and picked up Hui from the empress's side, saying, ”Sister is so lucky, Zhuo Hui is so obedient and sensible.”

”Ai, no matter how lucky I am, I am still just a princess.” Zhang Leyao shook his head and said, ”He's not as lucky as my little sister. Cheng Rui is cute and intelligent. His majesty and the empress dowager are in great pain.” ”Unlike Zhenhui, there's no one who's in pain except my first wife.”

”What are you talking about, sister? We all really like Zhuo Hui.” Gai Rong'er hugged her and replied.

The empress also said, ”Zhang agreed. How can you be happy like this? Don't worry, if Zhuo Hui is the emperor's child, then he's our child. We'll all love him.”

Zhang Leyan sighed and said, ”That's strange. Rong Chang Zai, the empress, and the noble are all princes, so why is it that Loki was the one who gave birth to the princess?”

The empress smiled and said, ”You always think that way, how can you be happy? The princess is also of royal lineage. Think about it, when Yin agrees, the child is still in her stomach, she won't even know if it's a man or a woman. Compared to her, you're more satisfied.”

There were so many women in the palace, and the Emperor had so few times summoned her. Moreover, he knew that the Emperor liked her to be carefree, innocent and happy, and now, she was like this, alas! Jia Rong'er sighed. What should Ruo Lan do after this for such a long time?
