Good Pregnancy Quick Transmigration: The Overly Charming CEO with No Heirs
Chapter 249 Raising My Own Crown Princess
[Haha, host, you're just like those naughty kids, causing all sorts of trouble while eating, making your parents chase you away with your bowl.]
Xi Yao rolled her eyes at the ridicule of the 996 work schedule.
"How can you blame me? Look what Huaijin made for me! It's all just a paste without any oil or salt. How am I supposed to eat this?"
She strongly suspected that the imperial physicians had tortured her.
At this moment, Xi Yao chose to forget that she was also someone who was proficient in both traditional Chinese and Western medicine.
If the child wasn't her own, she would also suggest eating the original flavor of the food.
Unfortunately, she is now that child.
How could someone who has tasted the finest delicacies possibly eat bland and tasteless food?
So, this scene would play out every time we ate.
"Yao Yao".
Ji Wangshu handed the bowl to the nanny next to her, and then grabbed the little guy who was running away.
"Come on, sweet Yao Yao, eat quickly."
Looking at the spoon in front of her, Xi Yao opened her mouth and ate it with a look of utter despair.
I want to grow up quickly so I can enjoy her delicious food.
"Yaoyao, how about your brother takes you out of the palace to play today?"
After feeding her, Ji Wangshu wiped her mouth while asking softly.
Xi Yao's eyes lit up instantly. "Okay, where will you take me, brother?"
She has been here for a year, and has been staying in the palace the whole time.
It's either the Empress's Phoenix Palace or the Eastern Palace.
And I hardly saw any of the legendary palace intrigue.
There was nothing they could do; the emperor's lack of an heir became an open secret within the harem.
More than eight years after the crown prince's birth, there was still no news of him; even a fool could guess what was going on.
As a result, everyone became harmonious.
After all, the Empress wouldn't cut back on their expenses, and the way they served the Emperor was all in accordance with ancestral rules, with each of them assigned a specific position.
The emperor's harem was not large, and each person could basically have their turn to be with him for one day a month.
Since there are no more offspring, there is no struggle for the throne, so what's the point of palace intrigue?
I raise cats and grow flowers every day, I have no worries about food and clothing, and I only go to work one or two days a month. I couldn't be happier.
"Let's go to Grandma's house." Ji Wangshu stood up, picked her up, and walked out.
Some time ago, the Emperor asked him to choose a companion for the Crown Prince.
Unsurprisingly, Ji Wangshu chose Ye Mingxin.
Ye Mingxin was the eldest son of the Empress's elder brother, and was one year older than Ji Wangshu.
The only legitimate offspring of the Ye family in this generation are Empress Ye Shutong and her eldest brother Ye Qingrang.
Ye Qingrang, on the other hand, had two legitimate sons and one legitimate daughter.
The eldest son is Ye Mingxin, and there are twins, an older brother Ye Mingcheng and a younger sister Ye Mingyi.
The twins are only two years older than Xi Yao.
Today is the day Ye Mingcheng and Li Shushu of the Li family exchange betrothal tokens.
Today was a day off, so the Ye family invited Crown Prince Ji Wangshu to be their guest.
Xi Yao was carried into the carriage. She leaned against Ji Wangshu and pretended to sleep, but in reality, she was talking to 996 in her mind.
"Could this Li Shushu be the same Li Shushu who was switched with me?"
In the capital, besides the Li family, which has a lineage that can be linked to the Ye family, Xi Yao really couldn't think of any other families with the surname Li.
Yes, the host is her.
Actually, given the Ye family's current status, the Li family is somewhat inferior, but who can blame them when Deng Huayi and Zhou Qianya, the matriarch of the Ye family, are such close friends?
996 sighed knowingly and continued:
The two agreed to become in-laws, but Deng Huayi only conceived several years after their marriage, and the child was much younger than Ye Mingxin's. Therefore, they had to have Ye Mingcheng instead.
The Li family's status—the eldest legitimate daughter marrying the second legitimate son of the Ye family—was barely enough.
996 suddenly laughed.
[Host, if you hadn't been switched, you would have been Ye Mingcheng's fiancée.]
Xi Yao's lips twitched, ignoring the last sentence, and she seemed to be deep in thought.
"It seems that Madam Wang switched the children not only because the Li family was much better than the current Deng family, but more importantly, because she had her eye on this marriage."
As Deng Huayi's mother, she should know something about the agreement that Deng Huayi and Zhou Qianya made in their youth.
If Li Shushu stays in Dengfu, it will be almost impossible for her to marry into a higher social class in the future.
Back when Bofu was still alive, none of them could climb the social ladder.
Deng Huayi was able to marry into the Li family entirely on her own merits, and also because Li Dongnan truly loved her.
[It might really be true; Old Madam Wang has truly gone mad for her so-called "white moonlight."]
He was just someone who looked like her, yet he switched his own daughter's child with his.
Xi Yao's teeth ached, and she said with disgust, "Don't talk about 'white moonlight' anymore, I can't stand hearing that right now."
Madam Wang is simply insulting the term "white moonlight".
"Yaoyao, are you asleep? We've arrived."
Ji Wangshu's voice brought Xi Yao back to her senses.
"Brother, I'm not asleep."
"Okay, let's go down."
After Ji Wangshu got off the carriage, he carried Xi Yao down from the carriage, refusing any help from the wet nurse.
"Welcome, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Ye Qingrang had already led a group of people to kneel and welcome them at the gate, including members of the Li family who had come this time.
"Uncle, Aunt, please rise. There's no need for such formalities."
Ye Qingrang stood up and walked towards Ji Wangshu into the mansion.
"It is truly an honor for the Ye family to have Your Highness and the young princess here."
Xi Yao wasn't interested in their polite conversation; her gaze quietly swept over the group.
The dignified and elegant lady should be Zhou Qianya, the matriarch of the Ye family.
She has three children.
One was about the same age as Ji Wangshu, while the other two were a little older than her.
What caught Xi Yao's eye was another person behind Zhou Qianya.
She has a gentle and elegant appearance and a refined demeanor.
Noticing Xi Yao's gaze, Deng Huayi bowed slightly and smiled gently at her.
The wet nurse next to her was holding a baby about the same size as Xi Yao.
That must be Li Shushu.
A one-year-old child's character cannot be discerned at this age.
However, even if it were a good one, Xi Yao couldn't bring herself to like it.
After all, it was Li Shushu who took the original owner's place.
Don't say the child is innocent; Li Shushu is a beneficiary and is by no means innocent.
It was because of her and Madam Wang that the original owner died in the wilderness less than two months after birth.
If Xi Yao hadn't taken over this body, the Empress would have seen a corpse.
"Yaoyao, what's wrong?"
Seeing that she was staring intently in that direction, Ji Wangshu couldn't help but ask.
"Brother, let's go." Coming back to her senses, Xi Yao pointed ahead, gesturing for him to enter.
She had just looked at Li Shushu, who had an innocent and bewildered expression, and felt indignant on behalf of the original owner of this body, so she couldn't help but stare at her for a long time.
"Your Highness, may I hold the little princess?" Zhou Qianya said.
"No need, Aunt," Ji Wangshu refused directly.
He didn't like Yao Yao having any other smells on her.
Ladies of noble families loved to use spices, and even their clothes were scented.
Ji Wangshu didn't like it, so the Crown Prince didn't use it.
Palace maids and nannies were not allowed to use incense.
in the hall.
Everyone sat down according to their rank, with Ji Wangshu and Xi Yao taking the seats of honor.
Then the maidservant made tea.
With everything prepared, it was time to exchange tokens.
