Rumor Has It That I'm Pregnant with His Highness' Child

Chapter 410: Couldn ‘t Keep Her

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In order to prevent the pillow from being dirtied, Granny Xiu Yan specially wrapped it up with a cloth and tied it tightly with cotton thread.

When it was brought to Yu Niaoniao, it looked like a long worm.

Yu Niaoniao opened it excitedly, revealing the human-shaped pillow inside.

Xiao Juan sat still, but his eyes were on her.

Seeing her hug the big strangely shaped pillow, he was even more concerned. He wanted to know what it was. Why was Niaoniao so happy?

Before long, Yan Nanguan asked.

“Princess Consort, what is this?”

Yu Niaoniao smiled and said, “This is called a pillow. I specially asked the embroiderers to customize it.”

The pillow was as tall as an adult. There was a little mute embroidered on the front and a princess on the back.

The embroidery was very exquisite. The stitches were delicate and neat. They were smooth and flat to the touch. The pattern looked lifelike. Zheng Changle would probably like it very much.

Yan Nanguan had only heard of pillows in the past, but this was the first time he had seen a pillow.

He smiled and flattered, “This pillow looks quite beautiful. It’s very suitable for the County Princess.”

However, Yu Niaoniao said, “This is specially made for someone else.”

Yan Nanguan blurted out without thinking.

“It’s for His Highness, right?”

He was even prepared to praise Duke Lang and his wife for having a deep relationship, but Yu Niaoniao shook her head.

“It’s not for him. It’s for someone else.’

The smile on Yan Nanguan’s face froze, and he swallowed the praise on the tip of his tongue.

The large pillow that the Princess Consort had carefully prepared was actually not for Duke Lang.

So who is she giving it to?

Yan Nanguan could not help but recall the recent rumors about the Princess Consort having a new lover.

He had originally thought that those were just rumors. The Princess Consort and Duke Lang were so close. How could the Princess Consort cheat on him?

But now it seemed that perhaps the rumors were true.

Thinking of this, Yan Nanguan could not help but look at Duke Lang. He saw that Duke Lang was still expressionless and did not even have the intention to ask who she wanted to give the pillow to.

Since Duke Lang did not ask, Yan Nanguan could only ask on his behalf.

“May I ask who you want to give the pillow to? Do you need my help to send it to you?”

No matter what, Yan Nanguan did not want Duke Lang and the Princess Consort to really break up.

Before the matter of cheating was confirmed, Yan Nanguan had to hurry up and find out who the person who tried to seduce the County Princess was. Then, he would secretly put a sack on his head and beat him up to warn her not to have any designs on the County Princess again.

Xiao Juan quietly pricked up his ears.

He already knew who the guy who seduced Niaoniao was. He still wanted to observe her attitude.

Yu Niaoniao smiled slyly. “I can’t tell you for the time being.”

Xiao Juan’s eyes darkened. She refused to tell them. Was she afraid that they would harm that actor?

Did she care so much about that actor?

Yan Nanguan still wanted to ask, but Yu Niaoniao did not give him a chance.

“You should be busy, right? Go do your thing. I’ll send this pillow over myself.”

Yan Nanguan was sent away just like that.

Xiao Juan watched as she happily put away the big pillow and could not help but ask, “Are you going out today?”

Yu Niaoniao nodded. “That’s right. I’m going to the Heavenly Oriole Garden later.”

Xiao Juan’s heart sank a little.

Was she really going to the Sky Oriole Garden to date that actor?

He whispered, “A place like the Heavenly Oriole Garden is very chaotic. It’s best if you don’t go too often.”

If she was going, she should bring him along.

Yu Niaoniao did not understand what he meant. She smiled and said.

“It’s fine. I’ve already been there. The garden isn’t as chaotic as you think. I’m just watching the show and drinking tea.”

Xiao Juan did not say anything else.

He got up and left Mirror House. He went to the cell and instructed the Eagle Guards in charge of guarding the prison.

“Release that actor called Ye Yin.”

The Eagle Guard was surprised. “Let him go now?”

Xiao Juan nodded. “Yes.”

Later, Niaoniao would go to the Heavenly Oriole Garden to meet Ye Yin. If she could not see Ye Yin, she would definitely track him down.

When she found out that Ye Yin had been captured by the Eagle Guards, she would probably think that he was using his position to take revenge.

What would she think of him then?

Xiao Juan did not want his image in Niaoniao’s heart to be destroyed.

He could only put Ye Yin back.

When the sun set, Yu Niaoniao could finally get off work!

She specially changed into men’s clothes, carried the bag containing the bookmark on her back, picked up the oversized pillow, and walked out excitedly.

Xiao Juan could not help but ask, “Do you really not need me to send you off?” Yu Niaoniao said, “No, I can do it myself. I’ll go home when I’m done.”

With that, she touched the big pillow in her arms, her eyes filled with obvious anticipation.

After selling this big pillow, she would be able to raise a thousand taels of silver.

How was this a pillow? This was simply white silver!

Thinking of this, she couldn’t wait.

Xiao Juan was stung by the anticipation in her eyes.

He had wanted to ask her to stay longer, but now it seemed that he could not.

All he could do was let go.

Seeing that Xiao Juan had nothing else to say, Yu Niaoniao left the Justice Department with the pillow and rode the donkey to the Heavenly Oriole Garden.

The Sky Oriole Garden in the evening was even livelier than during the day.

The garden gate was as crowded as a marketplace. An entire row of red lanterns hung. There was an endless stream of people dressed in bright clothes. When they approached, they could vaguely hear cheers coming from the theater.

When the waiter in charge of entertaining the guests at the door saw Yu Niaoniao arrive, he quickly welcomed her as if he had seen a female Bodhisattva.

This time, he did not dare to mention the tickets again and respectfully invited her in.

The clerk led her directly to the VIP area on the third floor.

He pushed open the door of one of the private rooms and gestured for Yu Niaoniao to enter.

“Please come in.”

Yu Niaoniao walked in with a big pillow and realized that there were many people sitting in the private room. They were all familiar faces she had seen yesterday, including Wei Liao.

She could not help but ask, “Why is Vice General Wei here?”

“Why can’t I be here? You don’t own this place. I can come and go as I please.”

As Wei Liao spoke, he peeled a peanut and threw it into his mouth, chewing it with a crisp sound.

Yu Niaoniao was focused on earning money and could not be bothered to waste her breath on him.

She spoke directly to Zheng Changle.

“I’ve prepared what you want.”

Zheng Changle rubbed his chubby hands and asked expectantly.

“Take it out and take a look.”

Wei Liao emphasized, “Don’t forget your promise.”

She was not allowed to draw a fan for others.

He would be the only one who had the fan of the little mute and the princess’s fan!

He had specially come here early today to supervise Yu Niaoniao and prevent her from going back on her word.

“What did Brother Yu promise you?”
