After the milk ball arrived, the father who had no heirs had a string of good luck.

Seeing that the women were about to start arguing, Consort Zhu quickly spoke up: "Oh dear, stop arguing! Whether it's the prince's child or not, let's wait until the prince arrives!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Ji saw Prince Li's figure: "Your Highness has arrived."

"Your Highness!" Princess Li blushed, turning into a boiled quail.

"Greetings, Your Highness!" Several women also bowed to Prince Li in unison.

Tang Rui looked up and her eyes widened in surprise.

Cheap dad... Absolutely gorgeous...

He has the appearance of a woman but I can't see him as a woman.

His features were sharply defined, like those of a knife, and his dark eyes shimmered in the candlelight.

Her jet-black hair cascaded down, the ends tied only with a red string.

Dressed in a black brocade robe, with auspicious clouds drawn with gold thread appearing and disappearing, her elegance was undeniable even while sitting in a wheelchair.

Tang Rui used to worry that she would grow up to be ugly, but now it seems she doesn't need to worry anymore.

"Your Highness!" Liu Ji cried out, trying to tug at Prince Li's sleeve.

Prince Li dodged in time and gave her a cold look.

Liu Ji immediately dared not act rashly, biting her lip and taking a step back: "Your Highness, is this little girl your daughter?"

Situ Che didn't answer her. He looked at Tang Rui, took out the crumpled letter, and his cold voice carried a chilling undertone: "This was left by your mother?"

Tang Rui blinked her big eyes innocently, "I'm not really sure either."

Situ Che narrowed his eyes: "You haven't read this letter?"

"I can't read!" Tang Rui said, sounding even more innocent.

She was born from birth. While she was still in her mother's womb, she heard her mother say that she had drugged her father because she was attracted to his good looks, which is how she got pregnant.

Later, in order to escape the pursuit of her enemies, her mother abandoned her to her master.

Tang Rui has memories of her previous life and knows that men who are forced into sexual acts harbor great resentment.

In short, just pretend you don't know the answer when asked!

Situ Che didn't speak, but his gaze toward Tang Rui grew increasingly cold.

Tang Rui pouted, looking like she was about to cry: "Are you my dad? Did my mom get it wrong?"

"Don't cry, my dear. You look so much like the Prince, how could you not be his child?" Princess Li thought to herself. She had just had a daughter, so even if she wasn't the Prince's child, she had to be.

Tang Rui sniffed, pointed at Situ Che with the greasy pig's trotter in her hand, and said, "But Father doesn't seem to like me."

"Your father is just not used to it, how could he not like you!" Princess Li was heartbroken, picking up little Tang Rui and looking at Prince Li disapprovingly: "Your Highness, the little princess looks exactly like you, how could she not be your child!"

Situ Che pursed his thin lips and remained silent.

What flashed through his mind was the image of that damned woman who had bound his hands and feet and was riding on top of him in the military camp six years ago.

No matter how he threatened and got angry, the dead woman remained unmoved. When she saw that he wouldn't cooperate, she forced him to drink a whole packet of aphrodisiac.

He didn't die on the battlefield, but he almost died in bed that day!

Consort Zhu panicked: "Your Highness, the young princess says her mother is dead and she's all alone. What will she do if you don't acknowledge her?"

"There are countless children in this world who have lost their mothers. Does that mean the Prince will adopt every motherless child who comes to the Prince's mansion with a tattered letter?"

After speaking, Liu Ji looked at Consort Gu in a flattering manner: "Sister Gu, don't you think so?"

Consort Gu smiled almost imperceptibly, but did not speak.

Unable to win the argument, Consort Zhu put her hands on her hips and began to intimidate others with her status: "I am a concubine, and you are just a lowly maid. Who gave you the audacity to speak to me like that?"

Liu Ji's face stiffened, and she silently hid behind Consort Gu.

Consort Gu glanced sideways at Consort Zhu: "Sister Zhu, are you trying to compete with me in terms of status?"

"ha…"

How high is the status of a concubine?

Consort Zhu shrank behind the Princess and tugged at her sleeve: "Princess, Consort Gu wants to compete with you in status."

Consort Gu: "..."

"That's enough!"

Prince Li sighed, rubbing his forehead. "I'm not denying it; she is indeed my daughter."

Although he was reluctant to admit it, the letter contained Tang Rui's birth time, and the timing matched.

Besides, Tang Rui's face is also good proof.

I just never expected that the dead woman would actually die.

The Prince of Li has admitted it!

Very good!

The princess and Consort Zhu breathed a sigh of relief.

Consort Gu showed neither joy nor sorrow, revealing nothing of her thoughts.

Liu Ji gritted her teeth in anger and whispered to Consort Gu, "Sister Gu, say something!"

"..." The prince has already admitted it, so what else is there to say?

Consort Gu didn't want to pay attention to her.

Tang Rui felt relieved and struggled to jump down from Princess Li's arms. She patted down to Prince Li's side and placed her greasy little hands on his sleeve.

next moment!

Haw!

A greasy little mouth imprinted on Li Wang's face!

Prince Li froze, completely stunned!

Before he could react, the little dumpling grinned at him without any teeth: "Daddy, I've finally found you!"

quiet!

A deathly silence!

Not to mention the women, even the guard Qingfeng and the steward were speechless!

The prince is a germaphobe and doesn't allow anyone to get close to him!

Finished!

The young master is doomed!

however…

After regaining his senses, Prince Li pushed her away with disdain: "Stay away from me!"

Everyone: "!!"

that's it?

"Your Highness, she is in your care!" With these words, Prince Li had Qingfeng push him away.

"Yes!" Princess Li was overjoyed, kneeling down to wipe the little boy's mouth clean. "It seems the Prince likes you very much!"

"I think so too. He was just shy, that's why he pushed me away!" Tang Rui nodded in agreement.

Situ Che, who hadn't gone far, was speechless.

"Come on, let your mother take you to choose a place to stay!" As a new mother, and with a little dumpling who looked exactly like her beloved, Princess Li's maternal love overflowed, and she personally picked her up.

Consort Gu clenched her handkerchief tightly, her thin lips pressed together.

Consort Zhu sighed deeply, "I hope more men will come to claim her as their father, so that we can each have a daughter."

Liu Ji: "..."

If she's not my own daughter, what kind of daughter is she?

...

Princess Li took Tang Rui to see several palaces and finally chose Cuiwei Pavilion, which was closest to her. She also assigned her trusted nanny, Rong Momo, to take care of Tang Rui.

As soon as Tang Rui moved in, Consort Zhu, Consort Zhang, and Consort Li sent people to deliver gifts.

Headwear, fabrics, jewelry...

Tang Rui became rich overnight and couldn't stop smiling.

To her greatest surprise, the most valuable gift was a set of bowls, plates, and chopsticks made of mutton-fat jade, given to her by Li Ji.

Warm to the touch, minimalist and flawless.

Rong Momo smiled and said, "Among the masters of the Prince's Mansion, Consort Li is the richest. Her father is a royal merchant, and the porcelain kilns used by the nobles in the palace are from her family."

"Granny, may I use this set of bowls and chopsticks for meals from now on?" It's made of white jade, so elegant.

Rong Momo: "These all belong to the master. The master may use them as he wishes."

"Then let's use this one!" Tang Rui decided on her rice bowl, and her stomach rumbled again.
