Concub!ne Xu gave birth to a child, which was the best news in the harem this year. The empress went to visit the little princess in person, gave her the name "Can", and gave her generous rewards.
Tutor Xu and Concub!ne Xu's biological father, Zuo Du Yushi Xu Yuan, were also heavily rewarded. Although the two families had separated, they still lived together because of the close relationship between the older generations. In the middle of the night, Zhou Lin personally went to the Xu family to bestow rewards, and the two families knelt in the courtyard together to receive the imperial edict.
As the generous gifts were brought in one after another, everyone in the Xu family received the Queen's commendation, and everyone's joy and glory reached the highest point, except for Concub!ne Xu's father and brother, who shuddered violently and knocked their heads heavily when they heard that the Queen had given birth to a "royal daughter".
Master Xu didn't know what was going on, so he tried to comfort them, saying that there was only one princess in the palace now, who was as noble as the prince, and would not attract the queen's attention, but it was better than having a boy. Xu Yuan felt like crying, and his son was even more trembling, shaking as if he had the hiccups. Zhou Lin saw that the father and son were about to collapse on the ground, so he personally helped Xu Yuan up and smiled at the father and son: "The queen loves the young master of the Xu family and has kept him in the palace to accompany the prince. Concub!ne Xu also takes good care of him, so you two adults don't have to worry too much."
...The Queen Mother Du knew that Concub!ne Xu was faking her pregnancy and they were secretly sending the child to the palace. How could they not be afraid?
