But as Yao Huang continued talking, the Fujin was also pleasantly surprised!

Yao Huang was immediately rewarded with half a year's salary by the Fujin (principal wife), and the Fujin did not forget to give the cook Yao, who was not present.

"By the way, go to my private treasury and select some good things to send to Lady Guarjia of Taoyuan."

Yao Huang immediately became somewhat unwilling, "Fujin, that Guarjia concubine plotted against us before, and it's already good enough that you didn't retaliate. Now you're rewarding her, which is too lenient on her."

The princess shook her head, still smiling. "Before, I made it clear that I didn't trust her and had you monitor her. That was a clear slap in the face to her. The fact that she's retaliating like this is already a light punishment."

"That's relatively mild. Every day, it felt like a huge stone was pressing down on my heart, it was extremely painful. Then came the headache, and finally I fainted. It was no small matter, Madam."

The princess smiled nonchalantly, "That scheme was just a moment of confusion on my part. I got stuck on a rut. Otherwise, I would have figured it out in a couple of days. It was just a matter of being on edge for a couple of days. It's nothing serious."

When Yao Huang thought of how formidable his wife had been before, he was speechless for a moment.

The Princess Consort continued, "She's actually quite good; she only retaliated against us and didn't try to harm the First Prince. If it were the other women in the inner quarters, it's hard to say."

Upon hearing this, Yao Huang broke out in a cold sweat.

"Judging from her attitude, it's clear that she sees this as a separate matter. This matter between me and her should be resolved between us, without involving Honghui. Since she treats me this way, and I have plenty of such magnanimity, then she deserves it."

Looking at the imposing and confident Fujin, Yao Huang was immediately impressed by her demeanor.

After that, when the Fujin said she wanted to reward Taoyuan, she didn't say anything more and just did whatever the Fujin said.

"By the way, send some good stuff to the Fourth Prince, and also send that Cloud Sea Rising Sun inkstone from the storeroom."

"Didn't you say you wanted to leave it for the eldest prince?" Yao Huang hesitated.

The Princess Consort smiled and said, "It's just a cloud and sun inkstone. No matter how precious it is, it's not as important as the First Prince. The Fourth Prince respects and values ​​the First Prince and treats him well, so it's only right that I treat him well too."

So, Hongxuan and Jiaming first received the reward from the Fourth Prince.

The mother and son both smiled and happily accepted the reward.

Not long after, they received another reward from the Princess Consort, which made them even happier.

"That feeling," a little eunuch in Hongxuan's courtyard poked Xiao Li with his finger and whispered, "Don't you think our master is a bit greedy? He used to be quite calm when he received rewards."

"Who told my brother to be so greedy!" Hongxuan, with his sharp ears, blurted out after hearing this.

The little eunuch who was muttering under his breath, and Little Li who was poked by the little eunuch's finger, were both startled.

"Look at you cowards, I didn't mean to do anything to you."

"Hehe!" The two laughed awkwardly.

In Taoyuan, Jiaming looked at the dazzling array of precious items and felt a surge of joy in her heart!

"Now, we don't have to worry about rewards to motivate Jing'er to read, write, and do arithmetic for the time being."

As for the future, well, after a while, he will move to the front yard, and then it will be the Fourth Master who will have to worry about it. She won't have to keep spending money anymore.

The thought of spending money suddenly made her feel fortunate that the timing of the gifts from the master and his wife was perfect, coinciding with Jing'er's afternoon nap.

Otherwise, if he were awake and saw so many good things, given the little guy's greedy nature, he would definitely pester me to give him some.

Upon thinking of this, Jiaming was startled and hurriedly instructed Hongtao and Lvliu to quickly put the items into their storeroom.

"Master, shouldn't we enter it into the register first?" Green Willow asked, frowning.

Hongtao agreed, saying, "In the past, we would first enter the data into the register and then return it to the warehouse."

Jiaming quickly shook her head, "No, let's put it in the warehouse first, and then you can record it in the register."

Red Peach and Green Willow looked at each other in bewilderment.

It wasn't until they finished getting ready and went to report back to their master that they realized how farsighted their master had been.

"Master, everything has been put into the storeroom and recorded in the register."

Jiaming's heart skipped a beat; she knew something was wrong.

Sure enough, Hongjing, who had just woken up, shook off his sleepiness and, like a cat smelling fish, his eyes lit up and he excitedly asked, "Mother, did you get something good?"

Jiaming was helpless. Hongtao and the others had just reported that the news had leaked out and could no longer be kept secret. She felt a little annoyed.

Why didn't I spend more time telling Hongtao and the others not to mention this in front of Jing'er?

So he had to give a half-hearted answer: "I did receive some, from your father and mother-in-law, but not much."

Red Peach and Green Willow lowered their heads, looking at their toes, remaining silent as their master blatantly lied to fool the Fifth Prince.

Unfortunately, Hongjing didn't understand Jiaming's meaning at all—"There's not much, so it's not good to give it to you. Otherwise, if I give it to you, your mother won't have much left."

The little boy grabbed Jiaming's arm and looked at her longingly, "Mother, everyone gets a share. What you taught me, I want too."

Jiaming: "..." So, all that talk was for nothing!

She took a deep breath, looked sincerely at Hongjing, and said earnestly, "Jing'er, this 'see-it-all-gets-a-share' rule isn't used like that, you..."

"I don't care!" the little one pleaded. "Mother, Jing'er wants some too."

Jiaming took another deep breath, then looked at the little guy who didn't say anything. Her mind raced, and then a thought flashed through her mind. She said, "Giving it to you isn't impossible."

Red Peach and Green Willow, who had been listening the whole time, looked up in surprise at Jiaming—why did their master suddenly change his mind?

The little guy didn't care about any of that; all he knew was that he was going to make some money again. The money-grubber jumped up with joy, "Thank you, Mother!"

Jiaming, who was being thanked, looked at Xiao Hongjing and said meaningfully, "I was originally planning to give it to you. You forgot the promise your mother made to you."

The little guy thought for a moment, "The agreement between Mother and him," it seems there are several agreements between them?

Which one?

For a moment, the little guy didn't react.

Jiaming looked at the little guy tilting his head, recalling his adorable expression as he pondered, and gently reminded him, "The agreement about learning to recognize characters and do arithmetic."

The little guy's eyes lit up, clearly understanding, but then he glared at Jiaming with a not-so-happy expression, "Mother, you're a little naughty."

Red Peach and Green Willow's lips twitched, thinking to themselves: "Our master's mind is indeed quick. In this way, all these things are still in our master's hands, just as our master planned before."

Jiaming patted Hongjing's head and comforted him, "Don't be upset. As long as you learn from your mother, these things will be yours sooner or later."

Xiao Hongjing thought about it and realized it made sense, so he wasn't so unhappy anymore. However, he still felt that his mother was a bit mean.
