Chapter 224 The Lively Scene at Princess 7's Residence
The crowd chatted and laughed, gathered around the swaddled baby. The Empress Dowager gently picked up the infant, her eyes filled with affection, her lips slightly upturned, and the wrinkles on her face radiating joy. "Oh my, my dear grandson, he's so handsome! Look at his little face, he looks just like Qing'er when she was little!"
Murong Qing stood to the side, watching the Empress Dowager's kind smile, and couldn't help but smile back, her eyes filled with satisfaction. She nodded slightly.
The Emperor's face was beaming, his eyes narrowed to slits, and his voice was full of joy as he gently teased the baby, calling out the name he had just chosen: "Yunshu, little Yunshu, give your uncle a smile~"
Murong Lin's cheeks flushed with excitement, her eyes sparkling. With a playful expression, she jumped up excitedly and shouted, "Hey, hey, brother, he smiled! He smiled! Hehe." As she spoke, she glanced at Su Jinran beside her.
Su Jinran looked at her with a doting expression, shook his head helplessly, a faint smile playing on his lips, and said softly, "Don't get excited~"
Lin Qianqian stood aside, quietly watching this heartwarming scene, her face beaming with heartfelt blessings. She and Murong Yi exchanged a smile, their eyes meeting as if sharing a common sentiment about this happiness.
Throughout the Seventh Princess's residence, laughter and cheerful conversation filled the air, creating a harmonious and joyful atmosphere.
Su Wan'er sat in an inconspicuous spot, a stiff and forced smile on her face, watching the crowd surrounding the baby with joyful expressions, her heart filled with disdain.
She subtly curled her lip, inwardly scoffing: [Hmph! So what if she had a boy! What's the big deal! They all act like they've never seen anything like it, look how happy they are!]
Her gaze swept over Lin Qianqian, a flash of disgust crossing her eyes. She muttered to herself, "Lin Qianqian, with her pretentious face all day long, it's nauseating! I just hope the baby in her belly is a bastard who dies at birth, never even having a chance to cry, so she can taste the bitterness of falling from grace!"
Thinking this, Su Wan'er fell into deep thought again, a trace of sorrow appearing on her face. She prayed silently in her heart, "Heaven help me, please let Lin Qianqian's baby be a girl. And please, please help Huan'er give birth to a boy, so that Huan'er's child can be transferred to my name. Once the child enters my courtyard, I will be his biological mother. With a son, I can finally gain a firm foothold in this palace, and make those who once looked down on me grovel at my feet, bowing down to me! Lin Qianqian, then let's see how smug you can be!"
She gave a wicked smile and hummed softly, so softly that no one noticed. Only Lin Qianqian noticed her action. She looked helpless and became serious, her brows furrowing slightly.
Everyone was immersed in joy...
Inside the Seventh Princess's residence, a peaceful atmosphere instantly filled the air. Festive red silk ribbons fluttered gently in the breeze, as if cheering for the newborn prince.
Sunlight filtered through the lush foliage, casting dappled shadows and casting a golden veil over the entire courtyard. Inside, a group of people gathered, their laughter and chatter creating a lively and cheerful atmosphere.
Su Wan'er stood in the shadows of the corridor, watching the lively scene, jealousy gnawing at her heart like a venomous snake. Her hands gripped the hem of her dress tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force. A gentle breeze blew, ruffling the hair at her temples, but it did nothing to diminish the resentment in her eyes.
The smiling faces of the crowd before her were so glaringly painful to her; the festive red lanterns and fluttering red ribbons seemed to mock her desolation and resentment. She glared fiercely at the baby being surrounded by the crowd and Lin Qianqian, whose face was beaming with joy. The fire of jealousy burned fiercely in her heart, and she secretly vowed to shatter this happy scene.
