The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 727 Princess
Ayu knew she had a birthmark behind her ear, and Tuanzi had told her about it. As for her eyes, she rarely looked in the mirror and hadn't paid much attention to them.

Her family never mentioned it to her.

"You have golden pupil lines in your eyes, also known as Phoenix Eyes. It's a mark of inheritance for the royal family of the Western Wind Kingdom, passed down only to the direct line, never to the branches. Since the founding of the Western Wind Kingdom, there has never been an exception." Shi Zhou mentioned this, and then said, "Have you noticed that even at night, you can see more clearly than others? Places that are pitch black for others, you can see clearly around you. Although it's not as good as daytime, it's not like being half-blind. Am I right?"

As he spoke, Shi Zhou waved his hand, and the wind from his palm extinguished the several lanterns that were lit around him, plunging the room into darkness instantly.

But Ayu could instantly see the surrounding furnishings, including the tables, chairs, benches, and even the dishes on the table.

Ayu had never seriously studied her eyes, and she rarely went out at night; even when she did, it was always in a well-lit area.

So, she could see so clearly?
[Wow, baby, your eyes are so cool! They even have these functions; I never knew that.] Tuanzi was quite excited. Those gold threads hidden in her eyes... they're pretty effective!
As expected of the offspring it favored, it is truly exceptional.

Shi Zhou didn't intend to make A Yu completely believe him right now; he just proved it a little before continuing.

Princess Ruan Ruan did not leave alone; she took three guards and two palace maids with her. One of the palace maids was named Han Zhi, who had grown up with Princess Ruan Ruan since childhood, and the two had a very close relationship.

Hanzhi herself was very capable. She originally managed all the finances in Princess Ruanruan's palace and was a well-deserved first-class palace maid. Moreover, she was extremely skilled in martial arts, comparable to a guard.

"Hanzhi stayed by the princess's side, taking care of her daily needs without complaint. Later, during her travels with that young man, the princess arrived in Dachang, where she encountered great trouble. At that time, Hanzhi and one of the guards, with the princess as their witness, happily married, and later Hanzhi became pregnant." At this point, Shi Zhou's face clearly showed displeasure, but he continued, "The princess also became pregnant around the same time, and at that time, they were relentlessly pursued. They fled to the area of ​​Wangbei County in Dachang, where they met a down-on-his-luck scholar who provided temporary shelter for the princess and her entourage. Unfortunately, the guard who was with Hanzhi died protecting the princess, and the princess, frightened, went into premature labor."

At that time, the princess felt that her future was uncertain and did not want Hanzhi, who was also heavily pregnant, to flee with her. So she left most of her money to Hanzhi and gave a sum of money to the down-on-his-luck scholar, hoping that he could help Hanzhi conceal her identity and pretend to be the scholar's concubine in order to avoid being hunted down.

Ayu murmured, "That scholar, his surname is Xie?"

“Yes,” Shi Zhou said, “The Xie family residence in the neighboring county to the east of Wangbei County is the home of that Jinshi (successful candidate in the highest imperial examination).

The princess left the money to her personal maid, hoping that the maid would have enough to eat and wear and live well with her child.

But this was just wishful thinking on the part of the princess. She didn't know that the palace maid had already harbored resentment towards her since the moment her husband died protecting her.

She gave the princess medicine, causing her to give birth prematurely. The newborn child was so weak that it barely had a breath left, and the princess was heartbroken.

Even so, the princess still cared about her and, despite her grief, wanted to make proper arrangements for her.
