The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 192: So this is the princess that the Regent wants to marry?

"Sister Jing, let me hold the little one."

Shangguan Ziling carefully took the baby handed to her by Mo Wenjing and held it gently in her arms.

The child's skin is like the finest porcelain, warm and soft.

His eyes were pitch black, like two sparkling gems, looking around curiously at this new world, without a trace of strangeness or uneasiness.

Mo Wenjing covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes full of relief and pride, "Zi Ling, look how much Xiang'er likes you. On weekdays, except for me and the nanny who takes care of him, he would cry loudly when hugged by others. It shows that he also knows that you saved us mother and son, and he is not against you."

Shangguan Ziling looked down at the baby in her arms. The little guy was more than four months old, chubby and very cute. Shangguan Ziling felt an unprecedented tenderness and joy in her heart. She gently stroked his little hand, feeling the delicate skin and the slightly trembling fingertips.

"Sister Jing, the little guy is so cute." Shangguan Ziling looked up at Mo Wenjing with a gleam in her eyes.

Mo Wenjing smiled and shook her head, "Zi Ling, after you and Shao Xie get married, you should have a child as soon as possible, so that our Xiang Xiang will have a playmate."

Shangguan Ziling blushed slightly and said embarrassedly: "Sister Jing, I'm still young. We should wait two more years to have a child."

Mo Wenjing was stunned and said, "How can she be young? Aren't there many mothers of the same age as Zi Ling?"

Shangguan Ziling thought that this was ancient times, and there were many people of her age who got married and had children. She also did some research with Mo Wenjing and told him that she was not fully grown up at her age and it was not suitable for her to have children. In two years, she would be eighteen years old, and it would not be too late to have a child then.

Mo Wenjing was slightly startled after hearing Shangguan Ziling's words, then smiled and said, "Ziling, you are right. It is true that women generally get married and have children at an earlier age. However, everyone's physical condition and growth rate are different. You are still young and not fully mature. If you get pregnant and have children too early, it may have adverse effects on your health."

Shangguan Ziling saw that Mo Wenjing understood the knowledge she had just popularized, nodded, and said: "Sister Jing, that's it. It won't be too late for me to consider the issue of fertility after another year or two."

At this moment, the little guy seemed to be bored listening to their conversation, or he found comfort in Shangguan Ziling's arms, so he closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep.

Mo Wenjing looked at the child's peaceful sleeping face and smiled gently.

"It seems that our little guy is sleepy." Mo Wenjing said softly, "Zi Ling, I'll ask the nurse to come and take him down to rest."

Shangguan Ziling nodded, "Okay, Sister Jing."

Mo Wenjing beckoned the nurse next to her and softly instructed, "Take the little guy down to rest, and be careful not to disturb him."

The nurse replied respectfully, "Yes, Princess." Then she carefully took the child and left.

Shangguan Ziling looked at the nanny's back as she left, then turned back to look at Mo Wenjing, "Sister Jing, I'll take my leave now."

Mo Wenjing nodded, "Okay, Ziling. Be careful on the road."

Shangguan Ziling turned and left the gate of the Regent's Palace, wandering on the street.

Shangguan Ziling glanced at the sky and saw that it was still early, so she told Dongqing beside her: "Dongqing, go rent a carriage and we'll go visit Xiaojun and his children. Oh, by the way, I forgot what I promised to do before, to find a teacher to teach them how to read and write."

Shangguan Ziling frowned slightly as she spoke, and then continued, "Let's go see them first. When I come back, I'll ask my brother if he knows any candidates for a master. Go ahead, Dongqing."

Dongqing responded respectfully, "Yes, Miss." Then she turned around to arrange the carriage.

Shangguan Ziling turned to Qiu Kui and said, "Qiu Kui, go buy some cakes, snacks, and roast duck. We'll pack them up and take them over."

Qiu Kui looked at Shangguan Ziling and said with some concern: "Miss, why don't you wait for Dong Qing to come back? I am a little worried about you here alone."

Shangguan Ziling waved her hand and said lightly: "It's okay, go ahead, I'll wait for you here."

Qiu Kui hesitated for a moment and said, "Then don't go too far, Miss. Wait here for me to come back. I will go quickly and come back soon."

Shangguan Ziling nodded and agreed: "Yes, okay."

Only then did Qiu Kui turn around and quickly go to buy snacks.

Xiliang Yelu Darui's gaze swept through the crowd, and suddenly, his eyes fixed on Shangguan Ziling on the side of the street. She was like the brightest star in the night sky, making it impossible to look away.

He walked over with a brisk pace, a cynical smile on his face, and said frivolously, "Beauty, are you alone? Come on, have a few drinks with me."

Yelu Darui, the second prince of Xiliang.

Shangguan Ziling frowned slightly when she heard this sudden frivolous voice. She was keenly aware that this man was not from the East Moon Dynasty, and that his temperament revealed a wildness and unruliness, which was completely different from the men of the East Moon Dynasty.

Shangguan Ziling replied indifferently: "No."

The secret guard who was monitoring secretly saw this scene and immediately went back to report.

Yelu Darui was stunned when he heard this answer, then he laughed and said, "What if this prince insists that you go?"

This prince? Which country's prince is this? Are all princes so self-righteous?

Shangguan Ziling's heart suddenly became alert, but her face remained calm.

"It's okay if my beauty doesn't want to drink. This prince has just arrived. How about my beauty show me the way and introduce me to the customs and folkways of your Dongyue Dynasty?"

Shangguan Ziling slightly turned aside to avoid Yelu Darui's aggressive gaze, and said in a cold voice: "I don't think I need to introduce the customs and practices of the Dongyue Dynasty. If you are really interested in it, you might as well take a tour on your own. I believe you will gain something."

After saying that, she tried to turn around and leave again, but Yelu Darui's men had already surrounded her and were obviously not going to let her go easily.

Yelu Darui had a malicious smile on his face, his eyes wandering over Shangguan Ziling's graceful figure, his tone threatening: "Beauty, why are you so anxious? This prince just wants to make friends with you, and has no ill intentions. Since you are unwilling to take the initiative to lead the way, this prince will have to invite you personally."

The silver needle suddenly appeared in Shangguan Ziling's hand. She looked coldly at Yelu Dari's hand stretched out to her, and just as she was about to take action.

Mo Shaoxie suddenly appeared and attacked Yelu Dari with a gust of palm wind.

Yelu Dari took a few steps back before stopping, looking at Mo Shaoxie with gloomy eyes.

Mo Shaoxie held Shangguan Ziling in one hand, staring at Yelu Darui in the opposite direction with sharp eyes, and said coldly: "Prince Xiliang, Yelu Darui, do you think you can touch my woman?"

Yelu Darui was shocked by Mo Shaoxie's aura. He was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Hahaha! So this is the princess that the regent wants to marry? I thought she was some rich girl. What a misunderstanding."
