Chapter 113 Fourth Master Version

The fact that he resembled the Fourth Prince stirred the hearts of all the princes. Soon, some of them took action and approached the Fourth Prince.

"Fourth brother!"

"Fourth Brother!"

The eldest prince and the tenth prince exchanged a glance, each demonstrating their respect for the elderly and care for the young.

"Brother, you tell me!"

"Tenth brother, you speak!"

Seeing this, the Eighth Prince, who was standing to the side with a gentle smile, stepped forward to mediate the situation, as it involved his eldest brother, who was born to his adoptive mother, and his tenth brother, who was on good terms with him.

Just then, the Crown Prince appeared. He considered himself of noble birth and showed no intention of showing deference.

"I have something to ask my fourth brother. You should discuss it before we talk about it."

The eldest prince and the tenth prince's expressions changed simultaneously. They were unwilling to accept this. Why was the crown prince so impolite? However, after all, the crown prince was the emperor and they were his subjects, so they could only endure it.

Although the Fourth Prince was surprised that his popularity had improved and all his brothers were surrounding him, the matter of the Crown Prince was of utmost importance. So he asked very solemnly, "Second Brother Crown Prince, what can I do for you?"

"Of course!" After saying that, the Crown Prince's beautiful peach blossom eyes flickered, and then he continued, "Fourth brother, you have just received the third-day celebration for the little prince, I'm going."

They're also very interested in the fourth brother's (fourth elder brother's) version of the little monkey!

Upon hearing the Crown Prince's words, the princes exchanged glances, all seeing interest in each other's eyes. Then, they all turned to the Fourth Prince and said in unison, "Fourth Brother, prepare the banquet. I'll be there too."

On the surface, Fourth Master remained expressionless, but inwardly, a sly smile crept across his face; it turned out he was after his chubby son.

But why are they so interested? It's not that we haven't invited them before, but it was usually their wives who came.

Despite not understanding, the Crown Prince, facing such enthusiastic brothers and having specifically stated his intention to visit, had no choice but to welcome him warmly.

Upon returning to the Fourth Prince's residence, the Fourth Prince went straight to the main courtyard.

The Fujin's face had just lit up with a bright smile because the Fourth Prince had given her so much face, but her face froze at the Fourth Prince's next words.

"You just said that when Guarjia's little brother celebrates his third birthday, the Crown Prince and my uncle will all be there?" the Fujin asked, her lips moving slightly.

"Hmm!" Fourth Master nodded, then solemnly instructed Fourth Princess Consort on how to be careful that day, and to...

The Fourth Prince's wife appeared to be listening attentively, but her anger almost spilled onto her face.

When Honghui was celebrating his third birthday, the Crown Prince had not even arrived yet. How could a son born out of wedlock to the Guarjia clan be so highly regarded by these uncles and aunts!

However, no matter how hard the Princess Consort tried to hide it, the Fourth Prince still noticed that she looked unwell.

He knew it was the chubby boy's elaborate third-day celebration that had displeased his wife. But he wouldn't allow anyone to harm his offspring, not even his wife.

The Fourth Prince frowned and warned sternly, "Princess Consort! The young prince's third-day celebration must not go wrong."

Despite her reluctance, the wife could only nod solemnly in agreement after hearing the Fourth Prince's warning.

The Fourth Prince's solemn expression softened considerably. He then said, "Don't worry, Honghui is my eldest son. No one can surpass him." After reassuring his wife, he got up and left the main courtyard.

The Fourth Prince's words, which he thought were comforting, did not truly put his wife at ease. She would believe him if he didn't eventually ascend to that position, but if he did...

She was worried because even though the Crown Prince was favored by Emperor Kangxi, he was still deposed by Emperor Kangxi himself. His Honghui, in the Fourth Prince's heart, did not hold the same position as the Crown Prince in the Emperor's heart.

Peach Garden, this is where Fourth Master came after leaving the main courtyard.

After exchanging a few words with Jiaming through the screen, he had someone bring the young prince to him for a look.

The little guy grinned silently, his chubby little arms and legs moving around, looking very happy. Fourth Master couldn't help but recall the feeling of holding him this morning, and couldn't resist hugging the little guy again.

Because there were still matters to attend to in the front yard, even though the Fourth Prince was reluctant to part with the child in his arms, he handed the red swaddling clothes to the wet nurse and left Peach Courtyard.

Of course, before leaving, he also instructed Granny Sun to carry the little prince out on the third-day celebration day, and to tell her that the Crown Prince, the First Prince, and others would be attending, and to be careful.

In the delivery room, Jiaming was both shocked and worried when she learned about the baby's third-day celebration from Granny Sun.

"Master, isn't the way the young master celebrated his third-day celebration a bit too grand?" Hongtao asked worriedly.

"Red Peach, you've finally figured it out!" Jiaming smiled with satisfaction at Red Peach, then sighed and said with a wry smile, "If you could think of this, I should have thought of it too. I don't know why he agreed."

As she spoke, Jiaming reached out her slender hand and gently touched the face of her son, who was sleeping soundly with his little mouth smacking.

It is said that mothers are strong, and Jiaming is no exception. Her face turned serious, and she said firmly, "No matter what, even if you become a target of the Prince's Mansion, your mother will protect you to the end."

Just as Jiaming had feared, when word got out that the grand ceremony for the third-day celebration of her newborn son was about to be held, not to mention the other women, who ultimately had no offspring to rely on.

When Li, from the pear orchard, heard this news and compared it to the small number of children she had celebrated her son's third-day celebration, she was filled with jealousy.

!

Despite her jealousy, there was nothing she could do. Granny Sun and Xiao Hezi, Jiaming's subordinates, protected Taoyuan Courtyard so well that she couldn't get in.

As for the Fujin, with the Fourth Prince's warning, she dared not and could not do anything to Jiaming and her son without alerting the Fourth Prince.
