Chapter 529 Got a Good Son
"Master, someone saw the prince return and is now paying his respects to the emperor on the dragon boat!"
As soon as Dongxue got the news, she hurried in to report.
Ye Lanyi, who was combing her hair, was startled when she heard this. She lost control of her strength and pulled out several strands of hair.
"Where did you get this information?"
"To my concubine, it was Tingxue, who serves Concubine Yu, who told this to me."
Dongxue was also shocked when she heard the news.
"Master, this ship is under your control. You don't have to worry even if the prince returns to the ship."
"I'm not afraid on this boat. What I'm worried about is if the prince knew that the mansion had been cleaned up by us, he might have some bad ideas."
What Ye Lanyi was most worried about was her adopted son Hongming.
After spending some time together, the child became more and more dependent on her, and Ye Lan Yi also became somewhat inseparable from the child.
But the emperor originally said that Hongming was adopted by the prince and asked her to raise him.
Now that the prince is back, if the emperor wants the prince to stay behind because of his disappearance,
Ye Lanyi knew that her background was a disadvantage, and the emperor would definitely give Prince Guo a daughter from a famous family.
Once the new noble lady gave birth to a legitimate son, Hongming would be in an awkward situation.
Countless possibilities flashed through Ye Lanyi's mind, and she couldn't help but feel envious of Yu Ying'er.
The emperor, who loved his grandson very much, directly let Yonghu inherit the title of Beile. As the mother of the next Beile of Yong'an, her status in the mansion was unique.
Furthermore, Ye Lanyi also heard that Yu Ying'er had somehow won the favor of Concubine Shu.
As long as they and their son don't do anything stupid, perhaps there will be great blessings waiting for them in the future.
Why can't she be like Yu Ying'er?
Ye Lanyi took a few deep breaths and gave instructions to Dongxue.
"Go and invite Beizi over, and ask Dongmei to help me with my makeup."
Prince Guo has always been very concerned about his reputation, so now the only option is to force him to hold his nose and recognize Hongming in front of the emperor.
We'll deal with the rest later.
Dongxue didn't dare to delay and quickly brought Hongming to Ye Lanyi.
She looked at her son, who had become much fairer after being cared for, and gave him detailed instructions.
"Hongming, I have good news for you. Your father, Prince Guo, has escaped death and returned to the capital. He is currently paying his respects to the Emperor on his dragon boat."
"This is a great event for the whole family. I want to take you to pay your respects to the Emperor and the Prince."
"Mom, don't worry, your son will be obedient."
Although Hongming is honest, he has some understanding of what it means that Prince Guo is still alive due to Hongzhan's intentional or unintentional indoctrination.
Ye Lanyi touched his head lovingly.
"Hongming, from now on, when there are outsiders around, you must address me as Concubine, and you can't be so casual like before."
"When we're alone, we can call each other that."
Hongming blinked in confusion, but still did as Ye Lanyi instructed.
"Concubine, I understand."
Before he arrived at the Prince's Mansion, the nanny left by his mother to serve him repeatedly warned him: Be a good boy, listen to Concubine Ye's words, and never be sent back.
Hongming always kept the nanny's words in mind.
Before Ye Lanyi's boat got close to the dragon boat, it was stopped by patrolling guards.
After she explained her purpose, the sound of oars gently stirring the water was heard in the darkness.
When the emperor heard Su Peisheng say that Concubine Ye and Prince Hongming wanted to see him, he quickly asked him to summon someone in and explained to Prince Guo.
"When I heard the news that you fell into the raging river, I was so heartbroken that I adopted a simple and honest child from my clan to be yours, hoping to pass on the Prince's Mansion."
"I thank you for your grace, my brother."
Prince Guo thanked him respectfully.
"Mother has always wanted to have a grandson. Now that Hongming is here, I think I can have some peace of mind."
As he was speaking, he seemed to suddenly remember something and looked at the emperor anxiously.
"Brother Your Majesty, Ye had been pregnant for several months before I left the capital. Calculating the time, she should be over eight months pregnant now. May I ask if the earth dragon's turning over frightened her?"
"Seventeenth brother, Ye Shi...you should hear it from her own mouth."
After all, Yunli was responsible for the stillbirth of Ye's baby, and as an elder brother, it was not appropriate for him to get too involved in this matter.
Ye Lanyi brought Hongming in and was the first to pay her respects to the emperor. Then her excited gaze rested on Prince Guo.
Prince Guo, who was sitting next to the emperor, of course also saw Ye Lanyi's flat belly. Knowing the inside story, he pretended to be surprised.
"Lan Yi, our child was born prematurely? Why didn't you bring him here for my brother to see?"
"Your Majesty, I am incompetent and failed to protect the child..."
Ye Lan tightened her grip on the handkerchief.
The prince knew exactly how the baby in her belly died, so why is he pretending to be a good guy now?
In his confusion, Doctor Gou revealed everything about how he caused her to have a miscarriage.
When Ye Lanyi learned the truth from Dongxue, her eyes turned red with hatred.
She deserves all this!
She just couldn't swallow the fact that an innocent child who was related to her by blood had been harmed.
Ye Lanyi's tears fell, and she said silently in her heart: Child, mother will definitely avenge you!
"Lan Yi, this is not your fault. If I had sent someone back with the news earlier, you wouldn't have suffered so much."
When Prince Guo woke up in the medicine house and found that he was disabled, his first reaction was to ask A Jin to send a pigeon to the capital to stop Doctor Gou from taking action against Ye Lan'yi.
Unfortunately, it was still a step too late.
Unable to lose composure in front of the emperor, Prince Guo suppressed the regret in his heart and looked at the child standing next to Ye Lan Yi with a smile.
"Hongming, I am your father."
Hongming looked up at Prince Guo, a hint of strangeness and curiosity flashing in his eyes.
"Father, I know you. My uncle has told me about you, and my concubine has often told me about you too."
Children are most sensitive to the good and evil in people.
Although Hongming was young, he found that the way Prince Guo looked at him was the same as the feeling his wife had given him before.
They both disliked him equally.
Fu Jin resented him for taking the position of the eldest grandson of Prince Rong's mansion, but what was the purpose of this father-in-law whom she just met for the first time?
Hongming couldn't figure it out, and he subconsciously looked at his uncle the emperor, whom he had met several times.
The emperor had long heard from the Hanlin scholars in the Shangshufang that Hongming was not talented enough but was extremely hardworking and was a good child.
He didn't make a mistake.
The emperor waved to Hongming.
"I heard Hongzhan mention you. You, like your father, performed very well in the Shangshufang."
"Su Peisheng, get a set of the four treasures of the study that the brothers usually use for Hongming."
"Thank you, Uncle Emperor, for the reward."
Hongming knelt on the ground respectfully to express his gratitude.
On the way here, the concubine reminded me in person that I must respect the emperor's uncle.
Hongming already had a good impression of the emperor who rescued him from the prince's mansion, and this thank you was full of sincerity.
"Get up quickly."
The emperor reached out and helped the man up, then turned and said to Prince Guo.
"Seventeenth brother, you have a good son!"
