Chapter 7 Trying every possible means to change your identity
Princess Chaoyang felt the movement in the cradle, looked down and saw her little daughter's defensive look, and she unconsciously hugged her daughter tighter.

Thinking about the name, Princess Chaoyang maintained a smile on her face and said, "It's not a happy thing. I'm just wondering what name your husband will give his daughter?" After saying that, she looked at Xu Jinhuai with anticipation.

Xu Jinhuai was stunned unconsciously.

According to his original plan, Xu Ruyu had already been moved to the Prince Consort's Mansion, and he only needed to tell the princess Xu Ruyu's name.

But now, the child has not been replaced yet, how should he name the child?
"Prince Consort, what's wrong with you? Are you thinking of a name for your youngest daughter?" Princess Chaoyang asked in confusion when she saw him in a daze.

Xu Jinhuai quickly put away his thoughts and said apologetically, "Qing'er, I'm sorry. I didn't expect my daughter to be born a month earlier, so I haven't thought of a name for her yet."

Unexpectedly? Isn't this his work? Although Princess Chaoyang has not confirmed it yet, she already has such a suspicion in her heart.

[You scumbag dad never changed your expression or heartbeat when he lied to me. No wonder mom was deceived by you for so many years.]

[It was you who caused the princess' mother to give birth prematurely, but now you say you didn't expect it. ]

[I guess what you didn't expect was not that your mother would give birth prematurely, but that the baby was not successfully replaced, right? ]

[Humph, you are such a jerk, such a bad guy, so heartless and with such a bad conscience! ]

[I hope you choke on water when you drink it, and get hit by a horse when you go out! ]

When Princess Chaoyang heard her daughter's voice, she couldn't help but feel a hint of coldness in her eyes.

She forced a weak smile and said calmly, "The peach tree is young and luxuriant, and its flowers are bright and brilliant. Why not call it Yaoyao, which means elegant manners, smiling faces, and prosperity. What do you think, Prince Consort?"

Xu Jinhuai was thinking about the remaining names that Gu Nongqing had chosen. When he heard what Princess Chaoyang said, he simply stopped thinking about it and said with a smile, "Yaoyao is indeed a good name. Qing'er is really amazing."

[Yaoyao? It’s the same as my previous name, I like it! ]

[Mother is indeed my real mother. She and I are so in tune with each other. ]

When Princess Chaoyang heard that her youngest daughter liked this name, a smile finally appeared in her eyes from the bottom of her heart.

"Yaoyao, come here, let daddy hold you again." Xu Jinhuai looked at the baby in Princess Chaoyang's arms with a doting face and stretched out his hands eagerly.

In fact, he didn't want to hug his daughter. After all, when he hugged her just now, he was slapped by her and then vomited on by her. He always felt that this child was in conflict with him.

But in order to be able to take the baby away and exchange it with Xu Ruyu, he still gritted his teeth and pretended that he wanted to hold the baby.

Princess Chaoyang had no intention of handing Xu Yaoyao over. "You'd better not hold her, Prince Consort. You have to go to the Ministry of Works later. I'm afraid Yaoyao will pee on your official uniform again."

"It's okay. Who made me like our Yaoyao?" Xu Jinhuai did not take back his hands and still insisted on hugging her.

It turned out that he was so determined to exchange the children. Princess Chaoyang felt cold in her heart again, and her body couldn't help but tremble slightly, but for the sake of her daughter, she couldn't give in.

She pushed Xu Jinhuai's hand away and said with a gentle smile: "Okay, stop making trouble. I'll let you hug me as much as you want after you finish your work at the Ministry of Industry."

Seeing this, Xu Jinhuai didn't want to insist any longer, fearing that being too persistent would reveal clues and make Princess Chaoyang suspicious.
-
At the same time, in the house next door.

Yu Yue'er asked the maid for the tenth time, "Is the master back?"

After receiving a negative answer from the maid, Yu Yue'er began to feel uneasy.

Didn't my husband say he would go back to the mansion to check the situation and come back? Why hasn't he returned in such a long time? Could there be an accident in the princess' mansion?
Can the child be replaced today? Can her Yu'er be sent to the princess's mansion to enjoy happiness today? The more Yu Yue'er thought about it, the more anxious she became. She said to the head maid in the room, "Go and call in the master's personal servant outside the door."

When Xu Jinhuai returned to the princess's mansion just now, he deliberately left him here in case of emergency.

After Yongfu came in, Yu Yue'er drove all the maids out of the room.

The servants in the house were unaware of the fact that her husband was the princess consort. After all, most of these servants were hired. If they knew Xu Jinhuai's true identity, they would probably tell others, and then the affair between her and Xu Jinhuai would no longer be hidden.

Xu Jinhuai was her childhood sweetheart, and they truly loved each other, so for Xu Jinhuai's future, she couldn't let outsiders know that she was the prince consort's mistress.

"Go back home and see why your husband has been delayed for so long and hasn't come back yet." Yu Yue'er instructed Yongfu.

"Yes, ma'am." Yongfu responded respectfully.

Seeing Yongfu was about to leave, Yu Yueer reminded him, "You will know what to say when you return, right?"

"Don't worry, ma'am. I know what's going on." After saying that, Yongfu hurried out of Yu Yue'er's room.

Every time I go to call the master over, I use similar reasons, and he is already familiar with it.

Inside the princess's mansion.

Xu Jinhuai was still trying his best to trick Xu Yaoyao into his arms, but Princess Chaoyang never gave him any chance to hold the child.

Xu Jinhuai had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​taking the child to exchange it himself.

At this time, the maid guarding the door came to report, "Princess, the prince consort's servant Yongfu is here, saying that the Ministry of Works has an urgent matter and needs the prince consort to handle it."

Princess Chaoyang nodded, looked at Xu Jinhuai and said, "My daughter is hungry too, I need to feed her, Prince Consort, please go and get busy."

Xu Jinhuai was puzzled and said, "Weren't the four previous children all fed by the wet nurse? Why does the wife have to feed this child herself?"

Princess Chaoyang smiled and said, "Perhaps it's because I like this daughter too much."

"After all, you are the Princess Chaoyang. It is not proper for you to feed the child yourself. You should leave it to the wet nurse." Xu Jinhuai advised gently, feeling a little worried.

If the princess feeds the baby herself in the future, how will the wet nurse have the chance to take the baby to the next room to exchange?

Princess Chaoyang did not agree explicitly, but said ambiguously: "I know my limits, don't worry, Prince Consort."

Xu Jinhuai always felt that Princess Mingyang was a little strange today. She usually obeyed him in everything, but why didn't she do what he said today? Did she find out something?
No, it was impossible. He knew Princess Chaoyang too well. She had long been deeply in love with him and believed in him without a doubt.

It is precisely because of this that, after eighteen years of marriage, Princess Chaoyang never discovered that he had another home, and that it was right next door to the princess's mansion.

Thinking that Yu Yue'er was still waiting for him, he said with an apologetic look: "Qing'er, I may not be able to come back to accompany you today. I have a lot of official business recently."

Princess Chaoyang smiled sympathetically as usual, "It's okay, the Prince Consort's official duties are more important."

Xu Jinhuai stood up and said, "Then I will go to the Ministry of Industry first."

Seeing Princess Chaoyang nod, Xu Jinhuai left the house reluctantly.
