Tong Cheng'er lived a very comfortable life back in Beijing. Yao Cheng Courtyard had everything she needed, so she naturally did whatever made her comfortable.

However, after Yinzhen's antics, she realized how petty this man was, so she visited the Third Prince's residence much less often, which deprived the Third Prince of much of his enjoyment.

As for the Fifth Prince's wife, she had also sent an invitation, but Tong Cheng'er rarely went. After all, there was a jealous woman in the family, and if she angered her, who knew if she would cause trouble again? After all, you can only believe a little bit of what a man says in bed.

However, as the saying goes, if the mountain won't come to me, I'll go to the mountain. If Tong Cheng'er won't go out, others can go to her!

With Tong Cheng'er acting as a bridge, the Third Prince's wife and the Fifth Prince's wife became acquainted, and the two arranged to send a visiting card to Tong Cheng'er together.

Tong Cheng'er naturally wouldn't refuse.

The three sisters-in-law would get together, play mahjong, chat about stories, and the third wife would occasionally bring her son Hongqing over. The three of them would also play with the child from time to time. Their life was simply blissful.

The Third Prince, on the other hand, began to feel depressed.

Perhaps it was a habit of the Third Prince's wife during her pregnancy, but the Ministry of Rites where the Third Prince worked was not too busy, and he didn't have to worry about many trivial matters. He would go home for lunch to eat with his wife, and he could also play with his son who resembled him.

As it turns out, recently when I asked around, almost all I heard was, "The Princess Consort took the Prince to the Fourth Prince's residence to find the Fourth Princess Consort."

After a day or two, three days or four days, the Third Prince couldn't take it anymore.

I didn't feel anything was different before, but suddenly one day I couldn't do the things I used to do every day, and that's a bit frustrating.

"Tell me, what's so great about this fourth sister-in-law? The Fujin (wife) goes to her place every day, bringing Hongqing with her, and the fifth sister-in-law goes along too. Anyone who doesn't know better would think that the fourth brother's mansion is hiding some kind of treasure!"

They ran so fast they didn't even realize they were going home.

"My lord, I heard that Fourth Princess Consort always has some fun things to do. She stays in the mansion all day and is probably bored, so she looks for someone to talk to to relieve her boredom."

"She wants to talk to relieve her boredom, and there are plenty of people in the manor to keep her company. Why would she need to go out of the manor to find someone?"

A servant standing nearby said, "What you're saying is ridiculous. Although the concubines and the wife in the mansion are kind and gentle, they talk to each other to relieve boredom. The wife isn't sick, so talking to the concubines to relieve boredom might just make things worse."

"What you say is true, Master. Shall I send someone to invite the Princess Consort back to the manor?"

The Third Prince scratched his head irritably: "Go where? Do you think I care about her? You're not allowed to go."

"..."

They're so hard to please.

No wonder the Princess Consort doesn't want to talk to you.

With that kind of temper, who would want to get along with her?

Especially now that the Fujin (wife of the emperor) has a lot of influence in the mansion and has children to rely on, she would only bother with him if she had nothing better to do than to cause trouble.

In Yaocheng Courtyard, Tong Cheng'er held Hong Qing in her arms.

"So cute! Look at those chubby little faces, it's impossible not to love them."

The Third Princess Consort laughed and joked from the side, "If you like it, take it and raise it."

Tong Cheng'er pinched Hong Qing's little face and said with a smile, "I really want to, but I'm afraid you, as my mother, won't be willing to give it to me. I'll just take this opportunity to hug her and have a good time."

After saying that, Tong Cheng'er said to Ru Xue, "Go and bring over the clothes I prepared and the toys for the children."

"Yes, Madam."

Ru Xue moved quickly, and soon brought over a group of people, each carrying a tray.

"Fourth sister-in-law, this is too much!!"

These trays and trays look quite intimidating.

Tong Cheng'er shook her head with a smile: "What is this? Our Hongqing is so cute. As his aunt, how could I possibly mistreat him? I personally designed the clothes and then had the embroiderers in the manor make them. These toys were also made by the people in the manor."

As she spoke, Tong Cheng'er said to Ru Xue, "Stretch out the clothes first so that Third Sister-in-law can take a look."

Ru Xue: "Yes, Madam."

Ru Xue waved her hand, beckoned to a few people, and then began to stretch out their clothes one by one.

This dress was designed by Tong Cheng'er. To call it a design was a stretch; she actually just drew a sketch with a pencil, and the rest was left to the embroiderers in the mansion to figure out on their own.

The children's clothes that were made were even more exquisite and adorable than Tong Cheng'er had imagined, and she couldn't put them down.

The Third and Fifth Princesses couldn't resist anything that Tong Cheng'er loved so much; once the dress was stretched out, their eyes never left it.

Fifth Princess Consort: "Fourth Sister-in-law, did you really design this dress? It's so beautiful!"

Tong Cheng'er gave her a reproachful look: "What, sister-in-law doesn't believe me?"

Fifth Princess quickly smiled and said, "It's not that I don't believe it, it's that I can't believe it. Fourth Sister-in-law is like a treasure trove, you can't dig it out."

The Third Princess nodded: "Yes, I don't know how your brain works, you can even design such beautiful clothes."

As she spoke, the Third Princess took the tiger onesie and said, "The embroiderers in the manor have made exquisite tiger-head shoes and tiger-head hats, but this is the first time I've seen one that's made entirely of tigers from head to toe. I wonder what it's made of. This little tiger is so adorable."

Fifth Princess Consort added, "Yes, Fourth Sister-in-law, you are really amazing. Besides tigers, you also have clothes with rabbits, kittens, puppies, and so on. They all look so cute that I wish I could have a baby right away."

The group of people talked and laughed together.

After looking at the clothes, we started looking at the toys.

Since Tong Cheng'er was holding the child and it was inconvenient for her to show the baby herself, she asked Ru Xue to do it.

The first item was a manual music box. Ru Xue twisted the handle once, and the music box emitted a melody similar to a nursery rhyme.
