Cheng Xianxian crept back onto the bed. Under her current house arrest, even her meals were delivered directly to her room. With only the little milk baby by her side, she didn't even have anyone to ask if she wanted to know what was happening.
No wonder when she had previously asked Yuyue to get some food for the little milk baby, Yuyue had made all sorts of excuses. It turned out she had already sided with Ru Yan, which was why she no longer held Cheng Xianxian in any regard.
"Princess, this servant is Yuelan. Your lunch is ready," the unfamiliar maid who had previously mentioned delivering lunch said from outside the door.
Before Cheng Xianxian could speak, Yuyue whispered, "Why is the menu different from yesterday?"
Yuelan also lowered her voice. "Sister Yuyue, you don't know? There is happy news today. The Side Consort is in a good mood and ordered the kitchen to send some good food to the Princess."
"Send it in," Cheng Xianxian said, taking in every word from outside the door. What kind of happy news could cause Ru Yan to improve her treatment of her so much?
"You go in first. Tell us once you come out," Yuyue opened the door.
A maid in pink entered, wearing something similar to Yuyue. She was carrying a large food box. Cheng Xianxian knew that Yuyue must have opened it to look, and she had certainly used her hands to grab at it.
That's how it was always portrayed on TV.
"Just put it on the table. I'll eat in a bit. Don't come to disturb me; come back to collect the plates at dinner," Cheng Xianxian waved her hand lazily.
This must be that Yuelan person. Cheng Xianxian understood in her heart that although she held the official position of Princess, her current situation was like a fallen phoenix. Without criticizing Yuelan's attitude, Cheng Xianxian specifically watched Nan Feng's sleeping posture.
In this Prince's manor, the only one related to her was the little milk baby.
Yuelan gave a low response, and without even looking at Cheng Xianxian, she went out and closed the door. As soon as she stepped out, her sleeve was pulled. "Quick, tell us, what is the happy news?" Yuyue asked urgently.
"Sister Yuyue, what are you rushing for? I heard there is news of the Prince. It seems the Prince will definitely be returning very soon," Yuelan said.
So there was news of that man? How was that considered a good thing? For her, this was a very bad thing indeed.
In a Prince's manor, when the Side Consort holds the power, the Primary Consort certainly won't fare well. Even if that God King returned—a strange man, even if he was the milk baby's father—he would expect her to live with a stranger. That was something she absolutely could not do.
"Baby, why is your mother's life so miserable?" Cheng Xianxian gently rocked the small crib. The little milk baby rolled over, and his sweet sleeping face made Cheng Xianxian unable to tear herself away.
The sleeping little thing didn't even give a single "yi-ya" response.
Cheng Xianxian reached out to pinch the little thing's cheek. "Little pig, little thing, you sleep as soon as you're full."
Nan Feng had his little cheek pinched by his mother; he turned his head in dissatisfaction, rolled over, and continued to sleep soundly.
Not a single person outside the door had their heart directed toward Cheng Xianxian; the only one close to her was a small infant. Cheng Xianxian lay back on the bed dejectedly, not even having the mood to glance at the food on the table.
"You should be more careful when you speak. The Side Consort said the Princess must not know," Yuelan reminded them in a low voice. Although the Princess had been stripped of her power, as long as she was alive, she was still the Princess.
"Stop being so wordy. Do you think I know less than you?" Yuyue said impatiently.
Cheng Xianxian was no longer interested in the sounds outside. What was good news for Ru Yan was certainly not good news for her.
