  He had clearly died; he didn’t understand why he had become a baby. Maybe when he entered the cycle of reincarnation, he had brought with him memories of his previous life.

  Nevertheless, he still accepted the character design for him in this world, as that of a young crown prince of a nation.

  His mother didn’t seem to have much status, but she cared very much for him.

  His father didn’t like him at all. He barely hugged him, and he could sense his dislike whenever he was near him.

  It was hence strange that he was given the title of crown prince the moment he was born.

  His mother, furthermore, was just a concubine, and didn’t even have a proper title.

  He immediately understood that his father didn’t like his mother, but he was his father’s only son. His father was already in his twenties, but only had one child. It definitely was because it was hard for him to father children.

  So, no matter how much he disliked his son, he made him the crown prince at birth.

  Mo Qian’er was playing with the little crown prince on the bed. Even if he didn’t understand anything, she still talked very happily to him.

  She was talking about her master, who was a princess.

  Judging from her tone, she admired her master very much, and said that she was capable even without spiritual power.

  She also said that she might not have survived without her master’s help.

  She talked on and on until the crown prince fell asleep.

  The crown prince felt that his mother’s rambling was truly a lullaby. He wouldn’t need to be coaxed to sleep anymore.

  Seeing that he was asleep, Mo Qian’er smiled in delight. “He really just eats and sleeps.”

  “My lady, the crown prince is very good. He’s not noisy at all. I’ve never seen a child as obedient as the crown prince.”

  Mo Qian’er placed the baby in the cradle and gently rocked him.

  “Once he’s asleep, he won’t wake up no matter how noisy it is.”

  And when he woke up, he would only cry a couple of times.

  Sometimes, he didn’t even bother to cry. He chewed on his fingers with his eyes open, as if he was thinking about something.

  Lu Fenying said, how could such a young child be thinking about anything?

  He felt that there was something wrong with her. Once she had a baby, everything the baby did was good.

  Her son was like a god.

  How old was he? He was only a month old.

  However, Mo Qian’er didn’t think so. She felt that the crown prince was thinking about some matter, and seemed to understand everything she said to him.

  “My lady, don’t worry. The crown prince is fine. Don’t tire yourself out.”

  The wet nurse had been taking care of the crown prince since he was born. She had seen how Mo Qian’er exhausted herself as she took care of the little crown prince, fearing that something would happen to him.

  If the emperor didn’t stop her, she would hold the baby 24/7.

  It was strange. She was exhausted, but not only was she in good spirits, her face glowed and her body got fuller every day.

  She was beautiful to begin with, and now that she had the little crown prince, she had a radiant maternal glow and was almost inhumanly beautiful.

  Sometimes, when the wet nurse watched her lady holding the little crown prince, it was like she was looking at a god.

  She was too beautiful.

  No wonder the emperor didn’t have any other women, but just this one concubine.

  Even Miss Su, who was said to be the woman the emperor loved the most in the past, had yet to climb into his bed.

  Whether or not a man liked a woman depended on who he wanted to sleep with.

  Chapter 971: Who Are You Bringing to the Palace Banquet Tonight?

  But the lady didn’t want glory or honor. She didn’t care at all about the emperor’s comings and goings. She requested to stay in a quiet corner of the imperial palace, far from the emperor’s chambers.

  The wet nurse also knew that it was impossible for the lady to rise in status in Heavenly Wind Empire.

  The slave system was too ingrained in Heavenly Wind Empire.

  “I know. You’re tired, too. I’ll keep an eye on the crown prince when he’s asleep. You should rest.”

  The wet nurse shook her head. “I’m not tired. Why don’t you get some rest? You still have something on tonight.”

  Qian’er smiled. “It’s nothing; I’m just happy about seeing my master. I wonder how big her belly is.”

  The wet nurse smiled. “It must be very big. The princess’s belly was already as big as a watermelon when you left last time.”

  Qian’er nodded. “It would be best if she has a smooth delivery.”

  “Of course. The princess looks like a blessed person. Even the heavens are on her side.”

  Qian’er chuckled, but didn’t respond.

  She knew best about Gu Bailu. Not only weren’t the heavens on her side, they also wanted to kill her with a heavenly retribution.

  However, she was definitely blessed; not even the heavens could kill her.

  Hehe.

  Gu Bailu sent someone to tell Bu Yaolian and Qian’er that they would be going to the imperial palace tonight, so the three of them could have a good chat.

  Bu Yaolian screamed. If she had known that Qian’er would be coming today, she wouldn’t have done anything to make Shao Zun angry last night.

  Shao Zun definitely wouldn’t take her to the imperial banquet.

  He hadn’t eaten at her place the whole day, so he had to still be angry.

  But she thought of how Qian’er was coming, and she had to see her after not meeting for so long.

  What should she do……

  Would she be thrown out if she shamelessly begged for Shao Zun’s forgiveness?

  Bu Yaolian slowly left the room and went to the study. When she saw Su Sheng at the door, she ran over with a smile and asked softly, “Su Sheng, is Shao Zun here?”

  “Miss Lian’er, Shao Zun is here, but he’s busy right now. It’s best that you don’t disturb him.”

  Bu Yaolian nodded. “Do you know who he’s taking to the imperial banquet tonight?”

  Su Sheng smiled. “I really don’t know.”

  “Can you ask him for me?” Bu Yaolian smiled at him.

  Su Sheng couldn’t refuse such a smile. Besides, he knew that although Miss Su Lian had made Shao Zun angry last night, Shao Zun wouldn’t really ignore her.

  After all, there was only one person Shao Zun was willing to touch.

  He didn’t know if there would be another one in the future, but there was only one so far.

  That was why Su Sheng had given Bu Yaolian a reminder last night.

  It was out of kindness, as well as in defense of his master.

  “Shao Zun is in the middle of a meeting. I’ll be scolded if I go in. You can go back first. I’ll let you know once I find out,” Su Sheng said respectfully.

  Bu Yaolian could only return to her room angrily.

  Thinking that she might not be able to go to the imperial banquet tonight, she felt especially aggrieved.

  Whatever. If Shao Zun didn’t take her, she would go in secret. In any case, Shao Zun wouldn’t have somebody watch her to prevent her from going out.

  Bu Yaolian felt that as long as someone decided to go all the way, their horizon immediately widened up.

  She had a good afternoon nap. When she woke up, the sky was filled with thunder and rain drummed on the roof.

  Bu Yaolian saw a few ice-like fragments on the windowsill and said in surprise, “This…… This is hail.”
