When the Fourth Master arrived at Madam Nian's side, he saw that she was finally able to stand and walk, but her complexion was still not as rosy as before, clearly indicating that she was physically weak.

"This concubine greets Your Highness!" When Madam Nian saw the Fourth Prince walk in from the door, she, who was sitting, quickly stood up with the help of her maid.

"You're not feeling well, you should sit down quickly." Fourth Master strolled over to Madam Nian and sat down opposite her.

"Your Highness, the little prince has already turned one month old. It's time to give him a name." Madam Nian gestured for the maid to bring the child over, deliberately presenting him to the Fourth Prince so that he could see how adorable the baby in swaddling clothes was.

Fourth Master took the child, held him in his arms, and looked at him. He saw that the child was sleeping sweetly, with a rosy face and long eyelashes covering his eyes, making him want to kiss him.

"This child was hard-won, so let's name him Hongfu. I hope he will have great fortune in the future!" said Fourth Master.

"Yes, Your Highness, thank you for your kindness to Hongfu." Upon hearing the name, Madam Nian felt it was very auspicious and had a good meaning, so she excitedly stood up and bowed to the Fourth Prince again.

"Take him away. The Sixth Prince is still young and shouldn't be exposed to the wind," the Fourth Prince personally instructed the wet nurse.

After the meal was served, the Fourth Prince dined with Madam Nian. Madam Nian had invited the Fourth Prince over today not only because of Hongfu's name, but also because she wanted to know how Hongsheng's marriage would be arranged.

"Your Highness, Hongsheng wrote an article yesterday, which Master Zhu read, and Master Zhu praised it highly," said Madam Nian.

"Hmm. Hongsheng is becoming more and more composed. He's almost fourteen this year." Fourth Master replied casually.

Hongsheng was not bad, but compared to Hongli, the Fourth Prince naturally didn't notice him. In addition, he had been raised by the Nian family for many years, and his personality was somewhat weak and domineering, which displeased the Fourth Prince.

“Your Highness, Hongsheng’s marriage has been arranged. His courtyard has also been planned. It will just be a matter of adding some walls behind me. I think we should choose an auspicious day to start construction,” said Lady Nian.

"Yes. Once they've made all the preparations, we can choose a date to proceed. You're not feeling well, so don't worry about it too much." Fourth Master immediately replied upon hearing that it was about this matter. Ever since he learned that Lady Liu had revealed his intention to select a site for Hongli's residence, Fourth Master had temporarily put the matter aside to avoid any trouble from Lady Nian.

"Yes. I think that the young lady from the Tongjia family is from the Emperor's maternal clan. I wonder if we could use some gold powder and incense to decorate the walls of the courtyard we are building for them, as a sign of respect for the Tongjia clan?" Lady Nian asked again.

The gold powder and cloud incense mentioned by the Nian family to decorate the walls were clearly of a very high standard; even the Fourth Prince's room was never decorated with such things.

The Fourth Prince hesitated. If he disagreed, it seemed he truly didn't value Lady Tongjia. But if he agreed, Hongsheng's residence would be even more magnificent than his own as his father.

Lady Nian was focused on bringing glory to Hongsheng, but she never imagined how the Fourth Prince would think about it.

“The national treasury is empty now, and the money for disaster relief is all diverted from elsewhere. Decorating the walls with gold powder is too extravagant,” Fourth Master said, putting down his chopsticks.

Lady Nian's face stiffened, but seeing that the Fourth Prince was already getting up to leave, she quickly said, "Your Highness, I feel it's too unfair to that child. The silver for the gold powder, I'll take from my own savings, not through the official accounts!"
